Story of a Man – Joo Ji Hoon (The Devil)

I stand before Life today, questioning Fate’s play.
Death took my brother away, the Devil stabbed him in the light of day.
It was witnessed with 10 eyes.
But later, several eyes will be in disguise.
To plot revenge against these criminal men,
To feed them the taste of their own medicine.
I swallowed all these tears for years,
choked from all the toxic fears.
Of being so alone,
Now with my family gone.
My soul had become undone.
With nothing left but Darkness,
I gave into the dark mess.
Plotted my life with the worst intent,
Ambition was to become Hell-sent.
Justice needed to be served,
for my brother weeping below the Earth.
For the pain that drove me insane, to the point where I couldn’t contain.
Happiness I struggled to obtain.
I decided to ruin my enemy, my rival, my Arch Nemesis.
I wanted to dig into his insides, break him down so he knew what sorrow is.
I wanted to leave him with the hurt he had left me with
When he committed the crime of stealing my blithe.
But revenge is the sweetest thing,
Only until you find someone worth more than ‘just a fling’.
Because a girl I knew,
she kept me askew.
With her, my cold heart had become warm.
Only to her, I didn’t want to do any harm.
Regretfully, I had already tied myself up in a web,
Caught in a knot, I was already dead.
So I attempted to keep my composure from her Light exposure.
I befriended Evil only to have him kill me in the end.
I found out, it was me who I couldn’t comprehend.
