E Inzaghi Ed Izanami [1/2]
Title: E Inzaghi Ed Izanami
Series: 빈센조/Vincenzo
Characters: Vincenzo Cassano/Park Joohyeong, Inzaghi the Pigeon
Summary: Just a name could provide so much power...
---------------------------------------------------
Inzaghi.
Why did he have to call that bird with that name? Because now the bird seem to have gained such a mysterious power on him after he had given it a name!
When he was younger, his adopted parents used to take him to watch the opera. In which partly, the reasoning for that was to help him grew more accustomed to listening, speaking and understanding the Italian language. Well, because of that he grew to cultivate his own preferences on what type of opera he liked to watch.
That said, one of the operas his parents used to get him to see was Madama Butterfly. It was a story about how a Japanese lady named Butterfly; or Cio Cio or Chocho, ended up marrying an American, who later discarded her once he's able to find an American wife. Back then, he used to wonder why Fabio insisted in taking him to watch this opera, but now he thought he could finally understood why.
Fabio must have tried to get him to try understanding the story of Cio Cio and her reasoning for sacrificing her own life in order to get her American husband take in her son into his new family. And in understanding Cio Cio's position, he might be able to understand her own mother better and be able to understand her reasoning to abandon him when he was young.
To which he rather leave that issue aside to think about it another day.
One thing he couldn't quite understand about that opera was this particular song that opened the Act II of Madama Butterfly. E Inzaghi Ed Izanami. What was the relation of the two mythical deities; Izanagi and Izanami, who was said to have created the Japanese islands, had anything to do with the story of Madame Butterfly? Aside from the fact that the maid Suzuki had been praying to them for her mistress's wellbeing. But then later on during his leisurely hours he went to look up the books on Japanese mythology and found the story of Izanagi and Izanami.
He wondered if Puccini actually look up the original lores of Izanagi and Izanami to use it into the Tale of Lady Butterfly. He wondered if there was any other reasoning to specifically mentioned those two deities in that story.
That said, he wondered if his reasoning for calling the bird Inzaghi had stemmed from that particular story... or that he just happened to think of a certain retired footballer's name to give to that bird. Regardless, he questioned himself over that lapse of judgement.
Since it felt to him as if the name he gave the bird gave the pigeon some kind of power over him. Because the bird was quite relentless in NOT leaving its perch at his bedroom's window! Is that even NORMAL for birds like that to do?
At first the bird just annoyed him with its cooing and flapping of its wings. But then a few days later he'd notice that the bird gained another friend as they continued to assault his nights with their cooings and grunts! And when he dropped his guard for barely a second and forgotten to close the windows when he went out, all hells went loose.
The horrid bird went as far as claiming his bedroom for himself. How dare! How could he be outwitted by a mere pigeon? He, the fearsome little devil of the Cassano family...
Yet, against a bird that has currently been christened with the name of Izanagi, it felt as if he was fighting a losing battle! Must he have to concede the fact that he kept being bullied by a mere bird?
Vincenzo tried to sneak another peek into the bedroom as he saw no sign of Inzaghi the pigeon. He let out a long sigh before entering the room.
He started checking around the room. Luckily, because Cha-young had also tried to help him out earlier to clean up the room, there wasn't much mess that he had to deal with. He took out the bedcovers and pillow covers that he saw had some trace of dropping on it. He recalled seeing a self-service laundromat nearby so cleaning these shouldn't be hard.
Vincenzo jumped as he heard sounds of wings flapping near the window and hurriedly rushed towards the direction. And just as he thought, it was Inzaghi.
"Please don't come in!" he exclaimed aloud. "I'll give you something to eat if you just... leave this room alone! Promise?"
He had closed his eyes without thinking, waving the handle of the broom towards the windows. This was kind of embarrassing but it's not like anyone was watching.
He slowly opened his eyes and to his surprise, the bird didn’t try to get in again. Vincenzo frowned.
"D-did you... understand what I said?"
He quickly shook his head at the sudden thought before hastily went over to close the window shut. Inzaghi the pigeon continued to stare at him from the other side of the window.
The more he stared at the bird's eyes the more he felt bad for the bird. He sighed.
"Fine. I'll go down and see if the shops had some seeds or anything else that you can eat," he said, before turning around to leave the room.
