eye on the prize / seulgi

intro

ONE.
you are not built for kindness. too many baubles to collect for your bones to lie upon because your legacy will be the afterthought of a fable, "oh that poor spoiled girl who buried herself in gold just for a second of divinity." you were made to suffocate under the weight of paper crowns. this is the aftermath of your gilded glory in the gossamer light of a thousand dying suns kept at bay by the smooth plains of your milky palm. you are not an angel, but you will fall from grace.

TWO.
she is everything you are not. a cacophony of leaky neon lights that blink like wayward sirens in her bottomless eyes and the residue of nuclear waste found at the tip of her tongue. there is no magic at her fingertips, no lukewarm luxury to lament over as seeps golden from her skin. whiplash, that is what she feels like, hands pressing hurricanes into the silk folds of your origami heart, lips raising a reckoning from every molecule of your sinful being. she was destined to unmake you in the eyes of your own false gods.

THREE.
here is the truth: she will not change you. you are still the girl in a tomb of your own making. she is still music; you cannot play her. here's the rub: you were in love. but love will not change you. you are still the same bitter girl with a bitter soul that has taken everything but gained nothing. here comes the end: only you have the power to change. you can still be the girl she loves. you were not built for kindness, you were not built for love, not for her, not for change, not for music or death. you were built to become fable.

Her bandmates demand she get her act together; stop drinking, stop with the one night stands, and care about someone other than herself for once. The rules are: go the AA meetings weekly, go steady with someone and not break their heart, and finally, make peace with her ghost of a mother. Seulgi doesn't know why she doesn't quit, she's got skills any band would he grateful to have. But here's the thing, these girls are her family and god, despite her every character flaw, she doesn't want to lose them.

However, on the night before the ceremony, she skims some money for her parent's account and catches a train from Seoul to Busan.
