Don't wanna give my heart away to another stranger

Out in the deep forest, a young beautiful man lived all by himself. If you'd seen him you probably would have been speechless because of his breathtaking beauty. The dark brown hair that covered his head had the most alluring contrast to his pale skin, almost like marshmallows in a hot cup of coffee. The edges of his face, his cheekbone, jawline, the bridge of his nose, were all sharp like knives. They looked like a drop of blood would appear on your finger if you had the courage to get close enough to touch them.

The windows to his soul, the eyes, were framed with eyelashes dark as the night. They framed his delicate eyes in the same way a frame frames your favorite painting, and that was just what he was, a painting, an artwork. If you looked into his eyes, you would drown and never get out. Although they were so warm and magnificent, you could still see a little sting of hurt, a feeling of loneliness. And that's exactly how he felt, Kim Taehyung.

He had been trapped in his castle for thousands of years, but every once in a while a lost soul accidentally came across his clearing. Everyone who met this man wanted him, they always said that they'd do anything to be able to be with him. And every single time Taehyung's heart was filled with warmth and happiness by those words, by all those promises of love.

The people who confessed their love but still, it never worked out. The man in the lonely castle was doomed, locked away from the outer world by the high walls around him.

The only condition there was to be able to have Taehyung's love was to climb the walls, to take ones time to get over them. And they always tried in the beginning, but when they realized how high the walls were, they gave up. Even though Taehyung had been through this for several millennials, his heart still broke each and every time he saw a back getting turned on him.

His nights were always sleepless because every time he closed his eyes, he saw their faces. This was the second part of the curse, until the day he met the one who got over his walls he could not forget the ones who had tried. He was doomed to remember all the hurt until the day someone brought him happiness. The nights without even a blink of sleep didn't affect his outside, only his inside, his soul.

This was the reason for the glimpse of loneliness you could catch in his eyes. He always blamed himself for their failure, he couldn't see the beauty in himself even though anyone with normal eyesight could see that his delightful features were out of this world. His thoughts were eating him from the inside, and as the years went by, the walls grew higher and higher.

The morning was still young in the forest around Taehyung's beautiful prison and the animals had just woken up. A deer was grazing and there were still small raindrops on the juicy grass straws, the birds were washing while whistling on a branch somewhere in the woods and it was to all this that Taehyung woke up to, to another lonely day of my life he thought.

Hooves could be heard in the outskirts of the clearing and they immediately caught Taehyung's interest. Much like every time a person tripped into Taehyung's world, his heart went crazy. He could not help but get his hopes up, to let his heart believe that maybe this time they'll stay and help him out of this hell.

Every bad thing was suddenly washed out of his mind and Taehyung could once again smell all the flowers whose smell had been dimmed by sadness and heartbreak for so long. He had this feeling that this would be the time that he could finally be freed.

Taehyung went out on the balcony to look who had stumbled upon him this time, and he got week to his knees by the person who stood there under him. The man looked like an angel in Taehyung's eyes and he couldn't help to pull his mouth upwards in a smile, just like all the other times.

His boxy smile was like a curse or a hook on the person who saw it, and the man down on the ground immediately said the exact same thing that everyone before him had said, "You're the most beautiful human being I have ever laid my eyes on, what do I have to do to win your love?"
