THE REALIZATION THAT THE PLOT OF YOUR LIFE DOESN’T MAKE SENSE TO YOU ANYMORE—THAT ALTHOUGH YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE FOLLOWING THE ARC OF THE STORY, YOU KEEP FINDING YOURSELF IMMERSED IN PASSAGES YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, THAT DON’T EVEN SEEM TO BELONG IN THE SAME GENRE—WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO GO BACK AND REREAD THE CHAPTERS YOU HAD ORIGINALLY SKIMMED TO GET TO THE GOOD PARTS. KIM JONGIN HAD HIS LIFE PLANNED OUT. BALLET SCHOOL IN CHINA, THEN A SCHOLARSHIP TO ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS BALLET SCHOOLS IN FRANCE. AND THEN– ENGLAND. THE ROYAL BALLET. IT WAS ALWAYS HIS DREAM, EVER SINCE HE WAS A KID. BUT, LIKE MANY KIDS DO, HE ED UP. BAD. AND HIS LIFE, NOW, CAN BE DESCRIBED TO YOU IN A POEM.
THE THINGS LEFT BEHIND
ARE SO CLEAR
AND THE THINGS LEFT AHEAD
ARE JUST NONSENSE
LOVE,
AN ILLUSION.
LUST,
A DELUSION.
TIME,
MEANS NOTHING.
WE,
MEAN NOTHING.
NOTHING,
I AM NOTHING.
