Creation
They were told that in the beginning, there was nothing. Man was the first to arrive on the earth and then everything came afterwards to fit his needs.
The almighty Jinki had made the universe and soon found the need to make the planets, and alongside earth came. Out of all of the planets, Jinki found earth to be the most desolate and lonely. Even though it had been gifted with land and water which no other planet had been presented with, it still seemed as if something was off. So he made the first man. Jinki took all that defined perfection, the clear water that was never plagued, the fresh dirt, the one that not even the mighty Jinki dared to step on, the Clearness of the sky, and all other things of that nature, to make Minho. Minho would be the first man, all that was perfect and nothing else would be compared to him, not even the Almighty Jinki would argue with the perfection presented in his creation.
Ten days after Minho was made, The Almighty Jinki came to see how his first creation had come out. To his surprise, Minho was very weak and depressed, his sun kissed skin now withering away, his long wavy hair now thin, the Creator asked his creation,
“What dare do this to you, the creation of Jinki?”
Minho looked down ashamed to be shown in the poor state that he was in answered with his still sweet and masculine voice,
“Oh Great Jinki , you have given me the gift of beauty, and for that, I am forever in debt to you. But if I may, I must say that, I am hungry, I have nothing to eat, all that is presented to me is the water, I can not satisfy my hunger with that little”
Jinki was embarrassed that he had not thought of the needs of his creation and immediately created trees full of fruit, animals that Minho would hunt, and other things such as that.
Once Jinki saw that Minho was well tended to, he left the earth so Minho could enjoy what was all made just for him.
The next time Jinki came to check up on Minho, the creator saw that his skin was once again kissed by the sun, his hair was back to it’s thick waves, Minho looked once again healthy. But it bothered Jinki to see that Minho was still depressed.
“My finest creation, what has had you so down? Do not hold back, please do tell me!” Jinki ordered with the most concern.
“Mighty Creator, My heart is very lonely, I need a companion, while the water has the rain, the fire and the oxygen, the trees and the grass, the night sky and the stars, What do I have?” Minho asked grasping his heart tightly, never once looking Jinki in the eyes.
Jinki immediately acknowledged his mistake and promised that he would make him a companion but it would take him time, he said that he had a condition. Minho eagerly asked what it was.
“I will make you a companion, not a lover”
Minho quickly agreed and Jinki went off to make the second person, not a women, but a man. For Jinki never promised that he would make a lover, so making another man would ensure that they would remain only companions and nothing else.
After ten days, Jinki returned, but this time, he did not go see Minho, Instead he left his second creation, Taemin, and told him to look for the most perfect being and tell him that the Almighty Jinki had sent him. Taemin, being new to the earth, accepted the creators request and with that, he set off to find the most beautiful thing in existence.
Meanwhile Minho was slowly losing faith, and decided to take a walk in the beautiful garden that Jinki had presented to Minho on one of his visits. Minho was climbing one of the trees to get the fruit that it presented when a small and fragile voice called to him,
“That could be dangerous!”
Minho, surprised at hearing another’s voice, fell with a hard thud. He quickly got up and look back to see what had said those words. To his surprise, a human! Like him, but different, they lacked the masculinity he had, and instead of the waves he had, the other boy had straight light brown hair.
“Oh! You must be the one that The Almighty Jinki was talking about! Allow me to introduce myself! I am Taemin, The creator sent me here to you!” The boy exclaimed after noticing Minho’s surprise.
Minho finally felt his heart rest, and finally felt content with the boy in front of him.
“Hello, The creator blessed me with the name of Minho, I am honored to meet you, I have so much to show you!!” Minho exclaimed, filled with joy that could not be explained.
The next two weeks, Minho and Taemin a grew a bond that could not be explained by just friendship. It felt as if Jinki had no play in their meeting, and fate could do nothing to stop it. Minho was making his own Destiny, and there was nothing that anyone could do about it.
It was soon after that Jinki came to check up on the two men he had made. He was happy to see that Minho’s happiness was once again resorted and he was still healthy. But it alarmed him when the bird’s told him that they had been sensing something weird about the two boys.
“What is it that these birds have seen? I must see this for myself!” Jinki yelled, enraged that the birds would ever dare to insinuate that about Minho. Jinki left to find Minho, in attempt to figure everything out, and to console his breaking heart, such perfection was not meant to find love. There would be no one who held such beauty who could ever be with Minho.
He found Minho with Taemin, which angered him even more, full with rage he called out
“What had I told you Minho? I can only give you a companion not a lover!!”
Minho, immediately fell down to his knees and answered,
“Oh blessed creator, what would ever make you think that I would defy you?!”
“You think, that the man who created you would not know the feelings in this creations?!” Jinki yelled, he turned towards Taemin, who quietly sat on the bench. “You! How dare you think of yourself as capable for this fine being?!”
“Great Creator, Taemin is not a man of flaw, he has milky white skin, beautiful long hair that will never get tangled, you made him as you made me, with a heart!” Minho exclaimed coming up to his feet.
“If I gave you a heart, you do not think I can take it away?!” And thus, the creator used his full force and striped Minho and Taemin of their feelings.
“And now what will you do?” Called the creator, “I made you, you will only obey me!”
Taemin laughed at the creator and answered, “Oh Great Jinki , how can you take away a feeling? You can not possibly strip me of my love for this man!”
Minho and the Creator were both shock stricken to hear the mockery in Taemin’s voice.
“You have created us, but we will live for ourselves!” Taemin ordered.
And thus lust and greed were created into the pure world the Jinki had made only for the safe being of Minho.
“I knew it was wrong of me to create you, watch, you will perish, you two will become the sun and the moon, never to meet but live in the same sky. You say I can not destroy you, but I can separate you two!” and with that order, the sun and the moon were instantaneously created, Minho became the moon and Taemin became the sun, day and night, who wholly depended on each other, but never meet. Taemin would be the sun, to match the temper he showed the creator, and Minho became the moon to match the beauty he presented, and it showed in the night sky. Soon, Jinki made more people, men and women, but none with the perfection that Minho had, nor the temper that Taemin did.
It is said, that if one were to stare at the moon for long, they would see the loneliness that Minho possessed without Taemin, thus resulting that Jinki never left the house at night for he could not stand the loneliness of his masterpiece.
It was thirty-five days after their separation that Minho could no longer stand it, and he turned the creator into the sun and let Taemin out of the imprisonment.
“Why would you do such a thing and let yourself be encaged?” Taemin cried out to the moon.
But the answer was already there, it was the love and affection that Minho held for Taemin that had brought him to that decision. Every year, Taemin and Minho would meet though, it would be the day when the moon passes behind the earth so that the sun’s ray’s do not reach it, a day of total blackness, and a day that they could be together, and Jinki could not see them, this would be called a Lunar Eclipse. And in the end, Love found a way.
