6:22 PM Totally Captivated - Yoo Ha Jin |
This is not a review but a rather emotional composition of my favorite quotes from Totally Captivated and what I feel about them. Lately, I had this creepy feeling tingling in my heart whenever I
remember these words… they are heart piercing, nerve-wrecking, so full of
emotions I’ve always wished to feel. The happiness of knowing and seeing that
such kind of love exists. No matter how beautiful the beast, I shouldn’t have let myself get
seduced by him because once I’ve come to my senses I’ll lost any chance I ever
had of escaping. To the beast that will bite me and make me bleed… and might even
kill me in the end. Have I gotten so vulnerable that I’m in a position where I
would all of myself to him? The chomping of ears
everyday… a hobby he quite enjoyed whenever he’s with the person he loves. It’s
totally annoying. But the pain continuously sends unbearable sweetness and
happiness in my heart… "Is it fun for you to
stir a man into bliss and then shoot him back down to hell? Do you enjoy
watching me go out of my mind? You make me want to
swallow you whole even when you do nothing. What are you trying to do by
provoking me on top of that?! I’ll never let you go.
Don’t even think about running away. Don’t give any other bastard as much as a
glance.” It’s not just because
it’s him but also because I know that he’ll only show it to the "one”… his
childishness, his freaking jealousy, his everything. "I love you.” I thought I was
already used to all these things, but I’ve been completely bewitched by that
person everyday.Is this love? I kinda’ wonder. Is this even good for the health???
LoL ^_^ I used to think that I didn’t need anyone. I used to think that I
could be complete all alone… I tried to shut my eyes to how frozen I was
becoming from the cold shards of glass sinking down into my heart and blinding
me. I had nothing to be obsessed with, because I had no possessions.
That was the only thing that comforted me against my fear of the dismal reality. "Even if it weren’t
for this coincidence, I would’ve tracked you down. I would have tracked you
down and I would’ve tried everything to make you mine, like now. I love you and
I won’t let you go now.” But I was so lonely. I was sad. I was
desolate. I was supposed to be complete, even when alone… but I just
couldn’t be. I didn’t even have someone’s name to call out when I was all alone
in the darkness. I wanted to tell that certain someone, because I only had one
possession… because I only have myself to protect or lose. I clasped it tightly
to my chest. I couldn’t afford anyone to take it away from me… I wanted to tell that special person that I’ve only been gasping
for breath on that painfully cold winter night, bundled up just like that. And
that I never wanted to go back to that frozen, snow-covered world. And now, in
this sudden twist of fate everything just changed. It changed in a mind-blowing
way that if you have not hold on anything firm, you’ll be carried to the edge
of a cliff. I long for our hearts to thaw together, side by side, flushed red
and pulsing with love… And soon, we’ll become one. And even if fighting
cannot be avoided, when he whispers such endearing words, no matter how rude
his way is… anger melts away like the fast waves of the ocean. "I dunno why the hell
I get so hungry whenever I see you. Just once… if I could swallow you up in one
bite, just once…I’d never wish for anything else.” It may sound
cheesy and funny, but for someone like him whom everyone is afraid of, I can’t help
but feel happy… and blessed. His pure desire to possess me for himself… it’s not covered
wrappings… and it doesn’t try to masquerade as something else. It shackles me
down so forcefully that it doesn’t give me any room for emptiness or desolation
to sneak their way in. I’d be lying if I said it never bugged me. But I find
myself breathing a sigh of relief within his possessive grasp. This kind of
satisfaction and security… it must be something that my past "someone” had also
wanted from me. Sharing a life with someone else… means, I’m not alone. But those happy
moments seems so far. It’s all in a blur since THAT person came. That person
took care of him, taken him out of the streets, gave him clothes to wear, foods
to eat…. That person was there when I was not.Taking quiet
insults already gives someone’s heart so much hurt and uneasiness, but knowing
that something happened between them, that something is probably still
happening between them. and the thought of fright, angst every time… could you blame
anyone when they give up? "You of all people
should know why I have no other choice than to do this and what I’m trying to
hold onto.” I do know. I know about those nights where for no reason; you
can’t fall asleep… when you’re left all alone with nothing. I know about the
emptiness that you can’t escape. It eats a way at you, making you feel like you
have no one else in the whole world. But even so… you still have "yourself”.
And I gave that to you… that’s why I can’t share you with anyone. Never. Was asking him to stop
seeing that person too much? He refused to let go yet he won’t say NO to that
person. He had two hearts. No… he’s trying to split his heart into two. But no
one could live with just half of it. And even when the words of farewell was
uttered, he couldn’t say NO. He just stood there like a frozen lad who’s
completely lost. I didn’t know it was like this. I didn’t know. This proved
to me that to forget, you have to do things… things that you wouldn’t do when
you promised your love to that special person. Is this the END? Is
this how it’s supposed to be? I hope not. That person… he just need to say that
he only have one love in his heart. He only has to give a certain sense of
security…. To stop living in a way of holding everything he can, just to avoid
loneliness. An apology. A new promise. One love. He just need to come and say
he wants everything back…. Because after all, he’s the one that melted the
heart that was once like a snow-filled, frozen land. PS: This manhwa has been tagged mature. This is not intended for readers less than 18 years old. |
