BANGTANWRITERSHQ PRESENTS: “THE SECRET GARDEN” MASTERLIST
Pushing away the ivy and brambles that spill from over the top of the stone wall and into the pathway, you squint to try to see above you more clearly, but the top of the wall is lost in the dense canopy overhead. It’s dark now; darker than when you first started walking, as the flora encasing the wall has grown more dense the deeper you travel. But they told you not to be afraid, that you would find it here—the secret which you have sought for as long as you can remember—as long as you stuck to the path, hand trailing along the wall beside you.
At last, a clearing in the foliage opens up before you, giving you your first glimpse at the treasure you’ve been seeking—the giant moongate. It’s surrounded by a lush hedge of pink and gold flowers that seem to shimmer in the moonlight cascading through the branches overhead. It calls to you like a beacon.
Beyond the stone ring, a small gazebo is dimly lit by lanterns, and a koi pond burbles softly in the distance. A path meanders through the space within, a fork leading right to the gazebo, and others disappearing into what can only be described as a garden of magic. Trees in full bloom dot the gently sloping land, thick with flowers and vines that reach to the earth, where swaths of flowers sprout in every color imaginable.
The dirt path beneath your feet gives way to the cobbled stone of the path as you hasten your step, clearing the stone arch and drawing closer to the gazebo. You’d almost swear there were figures moving within, shadows flickering in the light cast by the lanterns. Only, every time you try to focus on one, it flitters away.
“Welcome to our Mikrokosmos, a world all our own,” a deep-timbered voice drifts from behind you, stopping you in your tracks. Spinning, you see a tall man with beautiful toffee-colored eyes approaching you, the long lengths of his robe swirling around his feet, a hand outstretched in your direction…
Journey with us into the Secret Garden, where your fate could rest within the cradle of velvety petals or spiny thorns. Which path will you choose? Spring signifies renewal and rebirth, but with birth comes death. The death of a season, Winter losing its grasp, allowing What Could Be to Flourish. For the Second Quarter 2026, we wanted our members to focus on ‘what could be’ and let it blossom into something worthy of a bouquet.
