The Immortal + Marrying A Kim (SeokJin) [BTS]

32 - Journal

Jin took a notebook from his suit's pocket and handed it to Liz. At first she was hesitant to receive it but it was Jin's Diary. And she knew she would be reading everything she needed.

Jin:
  "I'm giving you the right to ready my journal, My Love."

My Love. Jin never called her that  even before that day.

Liz:
   "I wanted to be alone."

Jin smiled in relief. She was still the woman she admired the most. Dominant yet soft.

Jin:
   "You can have all the privacy you need, My Love."

He pulled the chair and dusted off the table where he expected Liz to use.

But Liz moved to the window and opened it.

Liz:
   "I need proper lighting. Please go out."

She expected for him to disappear like what Kim Mingyu did. So she just turned around while opening the journal.

But Jin suddenly back hugged her with affection and fear of loosing her.

Jin:
   "I cannot disappear like him. I cannot disappear from you, My Love."

Liz noticed his shaking voice.

Was he crying?

She turned around to see the man who called her wife. The immortal of which she was still unconvinced and confused to.

His eyes were surrounded by tears and he tried to conceal it.

Liz:
   "Mr. Kim ~ "

Then he pulled himself away from him and left the room without saying a word.

She sighed in disbelief. She thought almost killing a man was the scariest part of her life. But that wasn't just that.

An Immortal? In this era? Some magic? Confusing and all but was everything for real?

It's for her to find out.

Liz started to read the first page of his journal.

Liz:
   "A travel journal?"

*

< 4th of December, 1867 >

I am on a voyage with my family.  Paris is wonderful but nothing compared to my love for Korea. I miss my hometown, Gwacheon. But here I am celebrating my 20th birthday in this foreign land of wee and pasta. >

Liz knitted her eyebrows as she found his journal quiet bragging and extravagant.

Liz:
   "Going to Paris has always been my dream! And there's this guy ~ tch."

< 1st of January 1868 >

My parents' death on our way back to Korea from Paris is very heartbreaking. My new year's eve is lonely. I didn't know celebrating Christmas day in Paris was our last time together.

Tomorrow I will be moving to Busan to live with my uncle. I never liked him. My mother once told me before that he's been into some god worshipping.

I started to feel scared. But I don't have a choice. The bank took away my family's properties.

I'm broke."

Liz felt sad for him. He must be really sad during that time.
And the thought of his uncle worshipping some gods scared her too.

< 3rd of January 1868 >

It is true. My uncle has been with into a group of people who worships the moon. I heard they are preparing for a feast. I don't wanna be a part of it. I wanna get away from this place. I need help."

Liz:
   "Worshipping the moon? "

< 6th of January, 1868 >

I met a very young lady by the river. She is beautiful and I knew in my heart that my affection for her is true. I want to see her again tomorrow. I want to know her name."

Liz for no reason blushed. Assuming the lady was Jin's first love?

< 7th of January, 1868 >

Her name is Myeong Elizabeth. Her father and mother are the leaders of the doctrine in which they worship the moon. I don't understand what paganism they are practicing. But I really like her."

Liz thought for a while and remembered how Kim Mingyu the Moon's son called her by that name.

Liz:
   "Myeong Elizabeth? Moon's son?"

She started to feel the curiosity burning inside her. She wanted to know the truth and continued reading.

< 8th of January, 1868 >

Kim Mingyu, the proclaimed Moon's son was assigned to marry Elizabeth. I am hurt. And he was no ordinary man. He was said to be the first born of the moon and the mortal woman who gave birth to him. I don't understand. All I know is that they are a cult. They are practicing sorcery and witchcraft. Some extraordinary organization who worships the dark side of the moon."

Liz:
   "I think I am going crazy. I don't think I can do this."

She closed the journal and stared outside.

Liz:
   "I need to go home."
