[ shift ] * JISUNG @ CHUN

SOFT EDITION  /  @fflamed

             you  smile  soft,  as  jisung’s  fingers  brush  aside  a  few  strands  of  stray  hair.  you  stay  quiet  for  awhile,  leaning  your  head  as  your  eyes  slide  closed  in  content.  you  have  so  much  to  be  thankful  for,  so  many  times  you’ve  nearly  given  up  on  this  world--  and  someone  comes  around  to  remind  you  of  the  goodness  you  crave.  no  one  can  truly  understand  the  weariness  immortality  can  bring  when  you  invest  yourself  so  much  into  human  whims,  unless  they’ve  experienced  it  first  hand.  you’re  used  to  endings,  despite  living  an  immortal  life.  you  give  everything,  because  if  you  can  provide  even  fleeting  happiness  before  you  reach  the  end,  you’d  jump  off  cliffs.  

                          maybe  it’s  okay,  to  have  this  and  not  think--  just  feel.                          maybe  it’s  okay  to  love  him,  just  as  simple  as  that. 

             you  catch  his  hand,  once  he  starts  to  pull  back--  lips  grazing  colder  knuckles  before  your  smile  pulls  to  one  side.  ❛  a  second  longer  ?  ❜❜  it  feels  too  incredulous,  as  you  walked  this  earth  a  thousand  years  over...  and  yet  even  the  slightest  touch  from  him  and  you’re  heart  pulls  in  a  way  that  you  know--  you  don’t  want  an  ending  with  him.  you  want  a  forever  too.

           how lucky he was, to know that despite everything, despite the pain of being reborn more times than a human should. despite knowing how short their time together was, they always searched for each other, yearned for each other, loved each other. you know this dal. oh, how can four words make her breath catch. how she slowly lifted her head, it was a silent agreement that they never mentioned him. not by name, not even by a subtle reference. but it was him, it was hoojin, the only one that could possibly understand.  ❝ do i? i wouldn’t mind forgetting. ❞  she whispered quietly as she slumped into the couch.   ❝ forgetting seems easier. to forget all the good, the bad, the in between. maybe then it wouldn’t hurt as much. maybe then this cycle would end. ❞

            he was always soft with her. gentle when he touched her. reassuring that he was there, that he would always be there. she was lucky to have such good friends as she did. she was lucky to have friends that cared, friends that were like a second family. ❝ what if i make the wrong choice again? what if i choose to forgive him? what if i choose to let him in again only for him to choose someone else, because in the end, immortals aren’t supposed to be loved by mortals. –because, maybe the third choice is to run away.  ❞

         what words could she possibly say? should she ask him to stop? to turn away and forget about her, to live a life without her.  but then would she not have felt incomplete, empty? always searching for something to fill that strange void that she felt. as if she was supposed to meet someone that never appeared. she must have loved him very much. to be able to feel it in her veins, to feel her heart race when she first locked eyes with him. to feel like she could breathe once more. she must have died loving him. ❝ you’re an idiot. ❞ she whispered back hands clenching and unclenching. as if that would change the fact that all she wanted to do was hold his hand. 

        she must have loved him so much that she was willing to die and come back just to meet him again. ❝ you shouldn’t have to wait around for me. you shouldn’t have to. you aren’t obligated to love me. ❞ stupid words, hurtful words that she wished she could take back. but she wondered how many times they’ve come to this part of their lives. finding each other, falling all over again, until her ending came. ❝ i must have been really cruel in my first life. to have asked you to wait for me. to have asked you to find me. i feel like i should apologize.❞ 

             ❛  people  like  to  remind  me  that  i  am,  you’ve  never  been  exempt  from  that.  ❜❜  you  smile,  almost  believing  it  as  a  term  of  endearment  from  her  lips.  you  don’t  believe  that  you’re  an  idiot  for  her,  because  if  she  were  the  only  one  to  bring  you  happiness,  it  only  made  sense  to  find  her  every  time.  however,  if  you’d  have  to  live  with  the  new  title,  so  be  it.  you’d  be  their  fool  to  have  your  love  with  her.

CHARACTER NOTES

Being born only a century before the japanese occupation of korea, in an isolated forest guarded with protections, chaerin remained sheltered from the outside world. as western influences took away the importance of traditional beliefs and practices, the kumiho’s source of wisdom and benevolence became a myth.

As kumiho’s villages started to become revealed by hunters who’ve done extent knowledge on supernatural creatures throughout East Asia, many kumiho retaliated when their village in the forests were rounded up. 

Because they didn’t submit to the Japanese forces and killed / wounded soldiers, the army created the violent image of the korean kumiho to support the demonization of korean traditional religions / folklore, the west encouraged. they claimed the negative message was as a means of ‘protecting’ the korean people from vile creatures. in the mean time, many scientists that crossed the line between magic and science hunted creatures for their rare remains / experimented on those captured alive 

A wealthy japanese nobleman’s men capture Chaerin who’s been left behind due to an injury during the raid of her home. she was found after have been hiding and starving for days in a weakened state, pinned under the remains of her once peaceful and prosperous village that encouraged the spread of education. The nobleman’s mystified idealist romanticism over the occupation of Korea lead him to force Chaerin to be his mistress and bring her back to Japan as a source of good fortune to his family. 

Fox spirits being a positive symbol in Japanese culture, he believed she would be a good asset for his benefit. Not only can she bring good fortune to his family, but he’s being the savior of the poor joseon woman who lost everything ( by his hands ). 

After six months of being in Japan, chaerin succeeded in being a nearly mute obedient mistress to the nobleman. He hadn’t forced himself on her, instead revealed to her that one day she’d willingly come to him once he’s taught her the etiquette of his homeland. one night, when most of the family were asleep— under the guise of seducing him, chaerin muffled his screams with a pillow while ripping his heart out of his chest. in that moment, releasing the monster he so proudly claimed to have tamed. The monster that she never was but would be in his demise. 

Running away while an investigation takes place, Chaerin wanders into a zainichi korean slum and found refugee with a korean family who lead the underground following of korean traditional religion ( which would be the past generations of hauen’s family ). Not accepting the corrupted narrative of the man eating kumiho which was a source of evil, they protected the young girl as one of their own.

They keep chaerin hidden in a fake wall of a broom closet whenever suspicions arose, allowing her to stay. when the men of the household questioned her ability to stay, she would provide wisdom and advice for the family’s future for generations till the end of the Korean War. By then, she and haeun’s grandmother migrated back to South Korea where they eventually meet chun who hires them to study supernatural remedies as that’s one of the cha family’s specialties. he encourages their research in hope to help dahyun who’s still asleep in the southern sea.

While slowly intergrating back into her home country and learning to engage in the growing world, chaerin was able to find a passion in creating and art. with time she began working with cosmetics as a free expression and with some help from chun, created her own cosmetic brand: yeuwoo cosmetics. overtime of her own creations, chaerin acknowledged she was much more than her trauma, more than the isolation she suffered. she was never the monster, the scapegoat that they wanted. she would create what her existence means, what will come out of it.
