The Rising Gods of the East: Dong Bang Shin Ki

The five in the black stand together, their bodies facing forward in a model-like stance. Three are cluttered together on one side, while the other two stand side by side. The inscription on the bottom reads:

“The Rising Gods of the East.

Xiah. Micky. Hero. Max. U - Know.”

The group of three has a determined look on their faces, trying to be the fighting spirits they usually are. One of them has a charismatic look, his eyes burning with passion, with hope. Another smiles brightly, thinking positively. The last of the group is glancing at the other two, reaching his arm out towards them, as if he is trying to ask for help.

The couple stands together, both looking exhausted. The one closest to the cluster looks at the other directly in the eyes with an apologetic gaze, almost confused. It’s as if he’s been pulled into the maze of life and has lost his way. The bags under his eyes make him seem older than his actual age. The man furthest to the right looks straight forward, putting on his poker face. He tries to stay strong because that is the duty of being a leader, but if you look closely, you can see how worn-out he really is.

It’s not like before, they all think. It’s not the same.

They are now separated by a wall that’s keeping them apart.

“Always keep the faith,” was their motto since this whole thing started, but one by one, they are starting to loose it. The distance between them is getting larger and larger.

Before, they didn’t listen to what anyone said about them; as long as they were together as friends - no - as brothers should be, they would be fine.

But, the melody and harmony are no longer coming together as they should be.

The heart, mind, and soul of the quintet are fading.

Don’t give up.

Stand by each other will all your heart because five minus one equals zero. It’s as simple as that.
