you and me to the end of time

Chapter 1: Arriving

Maria POV

Being on vacation is very nice considering that this is my first one ever. I decided to go to Korea and attend a concert at the same time after getting a long awaited break from work. I only get to be here for a week so I intend on enjoying every second of it. The concert I am attending is a BTS concert that starts tomorrow. so i only have one day here to prepare. Right now I'm sitting in a taxi on my way to my hotel where I stay for the week, checking instagram to see if something new has happened in the time I was on the plane, and BTS has released a rehearsal clip for one of their dances. I checked it out and it is for RUN BTS. As I sit and watch it I get a call from my mother. I let out a sigh before answering. "What is it?" I asked her, feeling a bit angry already. "I just wanted to know if you got there already." she says. "Yes I landed." I say as I roll my eyes. "ok when are you back again, i cant believe that you would leave me just like that." she then says. "I told you two months ago that I would be gone for a week, mom. I am a grown woman and can do what I want to do without you being on my nerves about it constantly, and you know that I am not leaving you. why do you even say that?" I say to her, getting more and more angry for every second I talk to her. I know in some way that she is just worried, but all my life she has made everything about her. Even when my dad passed away, she has been scared of me leaving her too, even though I have told her a million times that it's not happening. but it's like everyday just gets worse. i live by myself but she calls me like once every hour, either just to complain about something, to tell me she is sick with whatever she can come up with or to just drag me down more than i already am by blaming me for everything bad happening to her. "I don't remember you saying that it was a whole week. how can i live without you for so long?" she then whines on the phone. "stop. I don't want to hear you say more about this. get it together for once." I say, as I feel my nails dig into the palm of my hand from forming a fist too hard. "can't you just come home after the concert please? I really need you back home. I think I would just rather off myself than have you gone for so long." she then says. "How dare you say something like that to me when I already lost one parent. can't you see what you are doing to me?" I say as I begin to scream on the phone as tears begin to spill from my eyes. "fuck you." she just says and i hang up. feeling absolutely defeated. I didn't even notice that I arrived at my hotel. I exited the taxi after paying him and grabbing my stuff and with tears in my eyes I didn't see that someone was coming from my side. As I turned around I stumbled into a person and we both fell to the ground. "Oh shit." *sniffle* I am so sorry, I couldn't see where I was going." I say as I look down, not making eye contact. "Are you ok?" a voice a little further away from me asks, and that voice did not belong to whoever I took down with me. "It's ok." I also didn't pay attention to where I was going." the fallen man says. The voices sound so familiar. I whip my head up at the sound of their voices and notice that the man I took down was none other than J-Hope of BTS and the other man was Namjoon, their leader. "omg. I am so sorry." I say as I cover my mouth with a gasp, eyes red from crying. "hey are you alright?" J-hope asks me as he moves from his fallen position to a little closer to me. "oh not really, but that is a long story. What about you? you have a concert tomorrow. I hope I didn't hurt you." I say to him as he takes out his hand for me to grab. I put my hand in his and felt butterflies rise in my stomach from the touch. "dont worry about it, i only think i will get a little bruise, it doesn't even hurt." he says with a smile as he moves us both up from the ground. "How can I say sorry to you for tackling you like this?" I then ask him. "No need, I think I should find a way to apologize to you. I know. since you know we have a concert tomorrow i take it that you are coming?" he asked me, still smiling with Namjoon looking at the scene unfolding in front of him. "Yes I am." I answer as I begin to brush off my pants from the invincible dust I feel. "Here you go, upgraded ticket. we really have to go now, but it was nice meeting you, even under the circumstances." he then says, letting go of my hand that already feels empty. "Thank you so much. get home safe guys, nice meeting you, and sorry again." I say to them both and J-hope laughs and Namjoon smiles gently at me. then they leave. My eyes are still stinging but i feel better even though i just tumbled to the ground in front of two members of BTS with one of them falling with me. I head into the hotel now, minding my steps. feeling like i didn't just cry and was happier than i have been in a while.
