Man... this story just won’t leave my mind. It’s been 24 hours now, and I’m still stuck on this webtoon. Especially this part: '...I thought human desires were endless, but surprisingly, they do come to an end at some point. What do you think that man felt once his desires completely wore out? Futility. After finally escaping from the prison of his desires, he evolved into something completely new based on that sense of futility!'
Here’s the step-by-step evolution that unfolds: 1. Early stage: Listening to their monster temptations. 2. Becoming a full monster. 3. Turning into a cocoon. 4. Rebirth into a new being, in human form.
BUT
Throughout the story, people who chose to become monsters, when reborn as new humans, lacked emotions. No pain, no sadness, no laughter, just nothingness. Blank. Emotionless. They lost the self.
I didn’t fully grasp the conclusion of this cycle before (from early stage to rebirth) until I witnessed Hyun’s rebirth from the cocoon.
At first, he seemed emotionless. But when he tried to listen the song that once made him feel alive, he cried. Hyun, he still has emotions, even after rebirth.
'...After finally escaping from the prison of his desires, he evolved into something completely new based on that sense of futility!'
'Every human has desires.' That’s true. And the monster’s words also valid: 'i wish I could say those desires are always for the best, but that’s not true.'
BUT
the monster didn’t realize: Some desires are for the best. Those aligned with one’s authentic self, higher purpose, and that aligned with their soul. Like Hyun’s desire to protect his loved ones. It didn’t destroy him, it awakened him. His desire wasn’t rooted in ego, but in his soul. He transcended into a phase he’d never imagined, reborn as the version of himself he’d always hoped to be, a soul who fulfilling its purpose.
The ending is deeper than I thought. I can’t imagine any ending more fitting. It’s perfect for its title: "Sweet Home".
