When you noticed the light fading in J-Hope's eyes, you swallowed hard, attempting to hold back tears.
"I'm sorry, but I refuse to let the system dictate whom I should love... or interfere with my choice. I alone will de...

You sat up, bewildered, and gazed at your soulmate with open jaws. He...he came after you. You can't wrap your head around the fact that he's here with you. Are you dreaming? You blink multiple times to ensure that it isn't a figment of your overactive imagination.
Jhope tenderly smiles at your puzzled expression as he places the bouquet on the bed. He took a deep breath and is still kneeling in front of you, grasping your hands in his. His eyes were filled with an undefined emotion that confused you.
"I...I couldn't let you leave me like that, Akira...you promised not to give up on me.. remember but you left me." He looks to be troubled.
You glance down at him, your eyes welling up, and you softly explain, as you bite your lips not to ball your eyes out, "I didn't want to leave you, Jhope...but I knew you needed some space. It...it just pained me so much when you...you didn't want me to talk to you or come near you, and even...my friend Hanbin didn't want to associate with me anymore... I was hurt. It became increasingly tough to stay and appreciate Tokyo at its best."
One treacherous tear falls down your cheek. You hastily wiped it away as you gazed regretfully into your soulmate's eyes.
"Sweetheart—" Your heart raced as he caressed your hands, and your breath caught in your throat at the sudden term of endearment."I'm so...so sorry for continuously hurting you. I apologize for causing you so much sorrow and pain. I know I wasn't a good soulmate..., but I'm trying so hard to change...just for you. I admit I'm terrified...but—- "He took a long breath in. He gently cupped the side of your face with one of his hands, lovingly stroking your damp cheek. You could look into his lovely eyes, which are glued into yours.
"—-you're not ready to complete the bond." You, sadly, interrupt. He shook his head and looked at you intently.
"It's not that...but it's something I couldn't control for years. Namjoon clarified my reluctance to fall in love again... For a long time, I was very hurt and devastated Akira. After my failed relationship and the frequent cheating rumours, I didn't believe I deserved to be loved. I cut myself off from any romantic interactions, Akira. For years, I swore off love or being loved by a woman. I really couldn't or wouldn't want to accept a soulmate in my messed-up life... I fought so hard not to love you...but I failed. "As anxiety attempted to engulf him, he wiped his face.
Your eyes are wide open in surprise. Does he...? Did your ears pick up on it correctly...can you hope?
