"epiphany"

Have you ever felt crawling in your skin? Like tiny gnats embroidering your flesh. Waiting to strike to get rid of your hope. Lingering to your thoughts, dreams, and aspirations. At this very moment this is all I could feel, and it was tearing my dream of a new world apart piece by piece. I could sense the downfall coming. I could sense myself watching the universe collide. I knew I was reaching the climax of the story, however I knew this could be one of the many to come.

I took a deep breath while my hands attempted to tighten my tie, however the shakiness of my hands made me totally miss it, resulting in me to only grip the air. Anxiety made me tremble. I was scared. Correction, I was scared for the future.

With frustration I tugged the tie tight to where it could almost be chokehold. I quickly retracted it to my liking and smoothed my uniform down. Sighing I grab my backpack, mentally preparing for the day while I walk out of the dorm.








I walk down the hall reliving every morning routine of watching the students. They are in straight lines, one by one, stiffly walking to their classes. Libras on the left and Scorpios on the right. However I'm in the middle, the center of the hall. It's like I'm trying to show off I'm special and they are not. The last Libra left the hallway under the glass doors that etched the words 'Libras wings'.

"Libra wing closing."
The glass doors automatically shut smoothly. Making sure no other sign can come in or out.

"Sagittarius may now enter the cross hallway to gain access to their zodiac wing."

As the Scorpios are half way down on the right side, a new set of doors open for the Sagittarius on the left and they soon make their linear line to their wing. It's the same continuous cycle each day. Soon enough the Scorpios leave and the Capricorn's take over. It's a continuous cycle that never stops, but how can one cut it off its hinges?

On the axis of the building, I soon see the huge marble floors and walls indicating I've reached my destination. I squeeze my eyes shut and my hand reaches the door handle to open it, bracing myself for who would be in there. I stepped inside my eyes began frantically trying to find two males. Jungkook and Jimin.

I see Tzuyu's flawless face, Taehyung's uneven eyes, but I see no mochi cheeks of Park Jimin or the bunny looking Jeon Jungkook.

My heart dropped to my stomach. I shake my head hoping I'm just seeing things. Or should I say not seeing things. But, solemnly not either one was in sight. I head back to my seat feeling nothing but hopelessness.











The next day came within an eternity.

The date Thursday, November 17th.

All in my mind is Jimin and Jungkook. I can't help but think what Dae told me. Making my way to school, I observe each and every movement of my feet. With my head down to the floor, it came to no one's surprise when I almost ran into someone. I quickly lift my head ready to apologize, but the person is no where to see. Shrugging it off I continue my daily walk to school.
