Mouthful of Forevers

Product Information

jeongguk turns around again, eyes widening slightly as he looks at him. for the first time, jeongguk allows himself to think that yoongi is actually kind of— cute. he can’t be too much older than jeongguk himself. he has nice lips. Enjoying poetry is a subjective matter, I didn't like the other poems in this book, they consisted mainly of overused ideas, I didn't like the thought process of them, and I especially didn't like the feeling I got from reading them (aside from a few special ones). he can’t help the worry that gnaws at frozen feet as he waits for jeongguk to summon him, waits for the tell tale smoke that rises from his hands, lets him pinpoint jeongguk’s location and go to him Just like her words in the collection’s titular poem, “Mouthful of Forevers”, suggest, von Radics ultimately writes to heal, both herself and others. It’s a collection of broken hearts and spirits that may have no business becoming whole, but which manage to stumble through knitting themselves together nonetheless. And through her words, she helps others do the same. and would that be cruel? to force someone to suffer the same fate of endless immortality, all because of love?

just sign it, hyung,” says jeongguk, and beams when yoongi does. “good. now you have to show up when i summon you. every first snow.”let me dream, hyung,” sighs jeongguk. “oh, i need to find a suit for opening night—” and then, for the first time, he sees yoongi smile. or—it’s more of a grin, really, an upturn of his lips in a way that jeongguk hasn’t seen before. even with jeongguk being annoying, he hopes that maybe yoongi would find it endearing, or that he would be fond; he has no idea why they’re intertwined like this if yoongi isn’t a goblin and jeongguk isn’t his bride, but jeongguk isn’t going to question it. and the sooner yoongi gets over his apparent annoyance with jeongguk, the better.

so what if i was?” yells yoongi. “i’ve spent hundreds of years suffering and being punished for something i don’t deserve to be punished for, and now when i finally have the chance to end all of this shit, you decide to ruin it? he’s probably— fled. and now he’s going to be pissed at me.”

Von radices, in Mouthful of Forevers, has mastered the art of expressing complex thoughts and feelings in a simple manner, and expressing simple thoughts in a rather complex way in other times. But this...this was phewww. I read the poems aloud(not weird at all), and many, many times I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time at the sheer splendour of it. I wanted to stand on my balcony and scream out loud " THERE IS STILL BEAUTY IN THE WORLD! IT'S STILL THERE..." he falls asleep like that, with seokjin sitting next to him and keeping him company. yoongi hasn’t done anything about the boyfriend wish, evidently, although jeongguk finds himself kind of hoping that yoongi would be his boyfriend. (although if he is the bride, then—yoongi’s supposed to be his husband. and he’s not sure if he’s ready for that quite yet.) when gets tired of waiting for yoongi to show up, he leans over to the candle on the table next to the couch. when he blows it out and turns to the next candle, he’s suddenly face to face with someone and jeongguk shrieks, throwing himself off of the couch and reaching for the first thing he can—it happens to be the remote, but he brandishes it like it’s a weapon. maybe he’s feeling generous.” jeongguk keeps his gaze on the suit, examining the tie that yoongi included with it and trying not to feel as though the gift means just a little less now that he knows yoongi has been giving gifts out to other people—likely just as expensive and just as special. “or it’s part of him protecting our souls.”
