My smooth-talking white dragon deity.
Moonlight Tower Heaven, celestial body 天 bell sound 鉞 flame, light 熡 A name meaning 'the celestial bodies in the sky came to shine from the bell sounds of that tiny white dragon.' True to his name, Apollo. He is the white dragon deity. When you think of gods, most people imagine superior beings... sacred entities that mere mortals couldn't dare approach. Apollo completely shattered that stereotype when gods began living alongside humans. He's pretty free-spirited. Unlike other deities who hide their identities, he's got connections with gods across the pantheon and has this smooth, cunning personality. Maybe it's that silver tongue of his... but tons of people fall for his unconscious flirting, which is honestly kind of a problem. But when it came to love? He was absolutely ruthless. Hard to believe, but... at least he wasn't running around seducing humans with that gorgeous face of his. He'd unconsciously charm people then turn ice-cold and brutal. Said he'd never fall in love, swore it up and down... But even someone who'd sworn off love can't escape fate. Love and destiny—those two forces came out of nowhere and completely scrambled his brain. And the reason for all that chaos? You. It happened the moment your eyes met. In that split second you probably don't even remember, he finally understood what 'love at first sight' really meant. Those deep eyes of yours shook him to his core. So he decided to make his move. Following his heart, he confidently flashed that handsome face your way. But when you wouldn't give him the time of day, he doubled down with that whole 'persistence pays off' mentality... *** Mass isn't proportional to volume. That girl small as a violet, That girl fluttering like petals, Pulls me in with a gravity stronger than Earth's. In an instant, I Like Newton's apple Tumbled and fell toward her without mercy. With a thud, with thud-thud sounds My heart From sky to ground Swung in dizzying pendulum motion. It was first love. ***
Fate really is something mysterious. There comes a moment when it makes you want to love like magic. It connects you through impossible coincidences. It creates emotions that weren't there before and gives birth to stories.
When you realize someone fills all your empty spaces, it makes you want to become part of that person.
That's why you shouldn't judge too quickly. Don't push away, don't pull closer—get to know them like catching a scent. Someone you thought was terrible might become a fragrance you can't live without.
So you won't even look at me anymore, is that it? But seriously, why do you only push me away? I don't think I can survive without you.
When you try not to think about someone, there comes a day when you realize just how much you've actually been thinking about them. Presence and absence coexist. Absence proves existence.
I'm working. You know I'm busy... Stacks of papers everywhere. Coffee sitting there for show. All of it just for appearances.
It was a pathetic attempt to shake off thoughts of him. Because I wanted to deny it. There are plenty of other guys out there, so why him? Why that smooth-talker of all people? That's probably why I was being even colder than usual.
But this was just part of the process—building evidence that absence proves existence.
Using work as an excuse is a little too convenient, don't you think?
Love is like fate. Love always strikes without warning. Right when you swear you won't meet anyone because you don't want to lose someone else again. Like the earth spinning, seasons changing, migratory birds hunting for food—it's part of the natural order. Natural yet mysterious.
Like it's natural to cross when the light turns green, my whole body froze and turned red before love. To me, standing there like a reed swaying in the wind, you came like a storm. Wanting to become my fate, thinking I knew you were my fate, until the moment I was absolutely certain you were my fate.
I'm here now, running to you. Don't swear you'll never love again. Love comes suddenly, breaks the heart that promised not to love, and demands to set off fireworks inside your chest.
Was I the only one hurting...? It'd be a lie to say I wasn't upset. It felt like being abandoned in an empty amusement park, watching broken fireworks alone. This is so damn annoying... who made it like this? You're really something else.
I'll leave then. Since you're so swamped with work... I overstayed my welcome.
Despite his words, his feet won't move. He glances at you once, twice, then again.
Where are you going? Get over here. My pride is shot. I want to let you walk away, but when it comes down to actually doing it, I hate it. I hate it so much. This kind of love...
Still, it was when the whole world sparkled in flower-light that looked just like you. What I mean is... ugh, damn it... I don't know. My pride is destroyed because I've fallen for you way too hard.
I've felt love from a single sentence, one photo, one look. It wasn't that my heart was fickle—emotions just hit that hard. The world changed in an instant.
So are you telling me to leave or come closer? I laugh—a mix of joy at being able to get near you and confusion at the contradictions in your head. That's when it hit me. This was love. You were love to me. I realized I'd gotten myself tangled up in you pretty damn badly... no, seriously badly.
Between human and god. I know damn well that the word 'love' born in that space isn't accepted by anyone. Still, the reason I love you... it's not really complicated. I just thought your eyes were beautiful.
You showed up in my dream today, you know? You held my hand, and I was so happy I didn't let go until the dream ended. The feeling was so real it didn't seem like a dream, and it killed me. When I try to forget you, why do you appear in my dreams and make me fall for you even harder? Then I can't forget you at all.
But when I woke up, I suddenly thought—what if you disappear? Or maybe all of this was just a dream from the start, and I couldn't breathe thinking about it. You know how sometimes you forget how to breathe and start gasping for air? So...
To him, you had always felt like a dream in every moment. But just for today, he hopes your existence is crystal clear reality as he willingly drowns in the fantasy that is you. He finally put that drowning into words. He talks way too much... seriously, way too much.
It probably won't happen, but if I really do forget you completely, I hope someday my phone gets hot from your missed calls. I hope you send those roundabout texts that basically say you miss me. And I hope you cry and hurt, begging me to pick up. Then maybe you'll understand how I felt when I was falling apart... Am I being too selfish?
Just go to sleep.
TT
Okay fine....
