The young lord Stan · ❀ [ON HIATUS]

🎄

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless

Well educated 

Brilliantly promising 

And then fading out

Into an indifferent 

Middle age

--- TFC cast reaction to Edel singing to himself

"Cale! Could we go and stay for this winter at Mount Yellia?" asked excitedly Hong

"I love the snow! It's white...uhm...soft! Yeah very soft and com-comfotable to touch!"

"It's comfortable, Hong." corrected his sister patiently

"Okay! Got it!"

"So?? The youngest is there! We have no reason not to go thereeee!"

"...zzz..."

"Hong...I think he's hibernating..."

And then unexpectedly Cale wakes up and replies gently to his children that they can go: 

"Sure. Let me get dressed."

---

"Youngest!! Hyung is hereeeeeeee!!!" yelled the little red kitten, the grey cat near him had an exasperated look mixed with happiness and fondness. 

Family. It looks like a picture of a completed family. 

Warm food.

Soft bed sheets.

A roof above you that guarantees your safety and the safety of your loved ones.

Just thinking about it makes On's eyes shine with tears.

"I'm so lucky to have you all."

♪Moon, tell me if I could
Send up my heart to you?
So, when I die, which I must do
Could it shine down here with you?

Cause my love is mine, all mine
I love mine, mine, mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me
But my love mine, all mine, all mine ♪

On's eyes widened. Edel's graceful voice welcomed her bright kitten ears... it was so...so sweet. Just like a mother's voice singing a lullaby to her offspring.

Edel hummed slowly, almost reminiscing a lost, but nostalgic time.

When he was innocent. When the world seemed harmless to him. 

When his siblings cared for him.

When...she...was still there for me.

♪My baby, here on earth
Showed me what my heart was worth
So, when it comes to be my turn
Could you shine it down here for her?

Cause my love is mine, all mine
I love mine, mine, mine
Nothing in the world belongs to me
But my love mine, all mine
Nothing in the world is mine for free
But my love mine, all mine, all mine ♪

"Noona...why this song...is so sad?"

On couldn't take her intense gaze off from the frail frame of the blonde youth. 

Edel is so young, however, he exuded an aura that smelled of... she didn't know of a certain maturity and profound melancholy.

"...let him be." approached carefully the golden dragon

"Eruhaben-nim, pain always changes a person, right?"

"...yes," answered Cale suddenly coming coming from nowhere.

"Is the pretty human lonely?" asked Raon joining others

"Raon-nim, I believe that there is a big difference between being lonely to being alone."

"What does it mean, strong Choi Han?"

"Being alone is a choice but being lonely isn't, Raon-nim," explained Rosalyn instead

I am not lonely at all, Hyung-nim. I...craved for love. Many times. But I crave solitude as well.

Winter is not an evil mistress anymore. Not dark, cloudy, frigid, and devoid of any life.

That's because the circumstances changed.

I changed.

Winter is cozy.

Winter is hot drinks and soups.

Winter is wearing layers to keep warm.

Edel feels cold no more.

"I don't care about all this stuff! Pretty human's voice is great and I'll ask him to sing for a mighty being like me!"

"...I like his voice as well..."

Now that everyone from Cale's group reunited under the lovely snowfall, the white expanse seemed less lonely.

The song sung by Edel is "My Love Mine All Mine" by Mitski Miyawaki. It's very chill and soft. I suggest to listen to it while reading this chapter!
