It was already late into the evening when you were still sitting in your local libary looking through book after book for your presentation next week. Because you were going through greek mythology in history, your teacher assigned all of you a greek god or goddess to present in class. You ended up with Persephone, known as the Goddess of Spring and the Queen of the Underworld.

You thought the topic was actually very interesting which is why you put a lot of effort into your research. Deep sunken into it you did not even notice the sun going down and people leaving the library. At this point you were probably the only person left in the building, excluding the librarian who thankfully had work herself, so you had enough time for your project. However it was already past 6 pm and dark outside considering it was fall now. Still, you wanted to finish your last paragraph for your presentation.

As you were describing how Persephone fell in love with Hades after she was forced to stay in the underworld, someone suddenly sat down in front of you. You shot up, startled, and looked at who could possibly be going to the library at this time, except for yourself that is. You relaxed when you saw it was your best friend Sana.

"How are you still here and working?" she asked, "it's late, let's go."

"Just give me five minutes I really want to finish this presentation," you told her already typing again on the laptop in front of you.

"Since when are you this dedicated to your school work, why not continue tomorrow? It's literally Friday, most people use that evening to relax, like us remember, we had plans?" she tried to remind you of the movie you wanted to watch at the cinema together later this night.

"I know, I didn't forget. This might sound odd but my presentation topic for history is actually really interesting. It's about Persephone, you know her?"

Sana looked at you with disbelief which you returned with confusion. "How long have we known each other?" Before you got to answer she continued, "Years. You literally know about the obsession I've had with greek mythology ever since I read Percy Jackson in elementary school. The fact that you even ask if I know Persephone hurts me. Now let me see that presentation."

You laughed at your friend's dramatic rant and turned your laptop to her. You watched as she read over your material.

"Gosh, I love her story so much, you don't even know. Even though it's pretty tragic. And I don't mean the fact that she was forced to stay in the underworld just because she ate those pomegranates. I'm not even surprised that you missed this part since most people believe it's just a legend that didn't actually happen. Have you ever heard anything about the story of Persephone and her human lover Jimin?" Sana looked at you with a questioning look however you could see the sparkles of excitement in her eyes.

You shook your head, "I haven't but maybe I could add it into my presentation, tell me." You gave Sana her cue to start.

"Before Persephone got involved with the underworld and fell in love with Hades, she had actually already given her heart to someone else. Jimin Park, a human she met randomly one day while wandering around on earth. His charisma enchanted her completely, as did hers with him. The two fell in love fastly and their love was strong. However she was scared to tell anyone about Jimin, afraid of what they could do to him since he was merely a human. So she kept it a secret and disappeared mysteriously all the time to be with him.

Jimin, always described as a breathtakingly handsome young man, wished she could be with him forever and stay on earth but they both knew that this was probably never going to be possible.

It's quite tragic don't you think? Being in love with someone who you know you won't be able to be with forever. Anyways, this was not even the tragic part yet.

Persephone knew that as a human Jimin would eventually age and she would lose him. They were both aware that at some point they would have to part ways. That was when she made a selfish decision out of love. She wanted to be able to be with Jimin forever, so she cursed him. The curse would reassure that he was immortal because being with him is all the Goddess could wish for. Blind with love, the man did not get mad when she told him what she did. Drunken in love they were hoping this would be their forever.

But then Persephone went to the underworld, she was thinking it would only be a temporary visit. However when her own father, Zeus, told her she had to stay there for six months every year since she ate six of the pomegranate seeds that grew there, she was heartbroken. She realized that this would mean she would not get to see Jimin for half a year without even having the chance to explain herself.

Her first six months in the underworld felt like forever. However with each day passing Hades clouded her mind further and further. Spending this long time together with him changed her. She grew accustomed to her new surroundings and company. She got closer to Hades who made her feel loved again. Persephone started to fall for him and with every step she took towards Hades she took one away from Jimin.

The now immortal human was said to have waited for her all this time at their usual spot on earth but even after Persephone got to spend the other half of the year on earth, she never returned to Jimin. Hades did everything he could to keep the goddess from thinking about anyone else except for him. The more the goddess fell in love with Hades, the weaker Jimin got since his curse was based on Persephone's love for him. She however started to forget about him and their time on earth because of Hades. Her curse started to backfire for Jimin, being immortal did no longer seem like a blessing to him since it would mean he would spend forever alone, wondering what happened to the love of his life.

Jimin, after all these years still waiting at their spot, became weaker and weaker, only the shell of the man he used to be. It seemed as if his broken heart released the energy of the curse the Goddess of spring had brought upon him. Slowly beautiful spring flowers started to grow from his heart. The love of the two was broken. For days and weeks it seemed as if Jimin was finally becoming one with nature, one with spring, his true love. The flowers growing from his heart took over his body and grew out of him. In the end the man was reunited with the woman he loved, as a part of spring."

After Sana finished telling the story of Jimin and Persephone you two sat in silence for a moment.

"This might be the saddest story I have ever heard. I don't care if it's just a legend or not, I'll use it for my presentation. Thank you," you spoke up. Both of you finally got up and left the library, however not without you stopping in thought in front of the flower shop on the other side of the road.

2018

It’s 12:39 am. In in the Uber with Dani and liz. He’s playing “sound of the sea” by stick figure. I called my mom and dad right at New Years and they said I love you and my dad said one of the most positive things in a long time. “I hope all your dreams come true in 2018.” Everything is beautiful. I’m smiling, I’m happy.
