envy green - NAMSEOK
what is the purpose of religion? hoseok wondered one late tuesday afternoon, on his knees with green plastic gloves covering his hands as he scrubbed the bathtub.
hot water billowing out wisps of steam in the blue bucket beside him, the thought popping up in his head as he occasionally stops to dunk the heavy-duty cloth in the water. perhaps it's to make people believe that something is there, the main cause or an exact reason for why the entire universe and humanity exists.
a safety net for people who need it the most, when their lives have gone to fucking shit and they need a release; something that they can hold onto so they can shove all their faith into it so they can say they saved me through the worst of times.
people go through a lot - mental health deterioration, financial struggles, failing family life, unhealthy relationships, broken homes and their bodies worse for wear. their lives might be terrible and their minds nothing like scattered jigsaw pieces; shattered like a broken mirror.
the chemicals of the all-purpose cleaning spray waft through the bathroom, thinly veiled with a scent of apples and cherries. clogging his nose with its harshly strong scent as he mindlessly scrubs the white bathtub clean. until it's so shiny he could see his reflection.
he looks at himself in the reflection of the spotless bathtub and once more in the mirror. a distasteful expression on his face as he stares at himself more and more. shaking his head to rid himself of his thoughts as he pours the clear-turned-ugly-brown hot water into the toilet, watching as it goes down as he flushes it.
