one. the breaking | you tried so hard to be enough
two. the lie | a house made of cards, they lived in your beautiful fairytale
three. the promise | if you told them about the darkness inside of you, would they still look at you like you're the sun?
four. the gentle heart | keep your heart warm, no matter how cold they have been to you
five. the void | no matter how many times you read a story over and over again, it always ends the same
six. the puppeteer | father wanted perfection, you fell in love with disorder
seven. the trial master | the only way to get rid of a buried memory is to face your past
eight. the scarlet drop | you can wipe someone's tears but not their memories
nine. the game of chess | everything's burned down into flames and all that's left is you right in the center, unable to escape
ten. the abuser and the bystander | it hurts just as much knowing someone could have stopped it all but chose to stand by and watch instead
eleven. the thorns of a rose | loyalty means to have full allegiance and faithfulness owned by a duty, a pledge, or a promise. and the reapers' loyalty lies much deeper than that
twelve. the black rose | he loved you once, so hard, but taehyung has no right to begin caring for you now
thirteen. the broken | once someone's been taught to stay quiet their whole life, how do they learn to scream and shout for help?
fourteen. the hurting | you can break something in two seconds but it will take forever to heal
fifteen. the cruel and the fool | nothing hurts more than trying your absolute best and still not being good enough
sixteen. the second choice | an illusion of free choice, it will always be namjoon in the end
seventeen. the liar | hoseok lied about choosing you, namjoon lied about leaving you, but the biggest liar of them all is you
eighteen. the frightened ones | drowning in the middle of the sea means being blind and not knowing who is on your side and who wishes to pull you in deeper
nineteen. the snakes | you're left on your own to save your own self
twenty. the watchers | sometimes to not protect is the best form of protection
twenty-one. the apologies | how many apologies have you heard in your lifetime? too many to count
twenty-two. the pawns | when pawns are used well, they are the soul of the chess. you might as well take advantage of what you’re given
twenty-three. the unprepared | no one is ever prepared to be broken, even if they think they are, and breaking again and again does not make you numb to the pain
twenty-four. the reckless | in the face of danger, you run right into it
twenty-five. the habits | you are a weapon and weapons do not weep
twenty-six. coming soon...
