BTS:One Shots/Imagines

{J-Hope} Love At Last Sight - (A/F)

She walked ahead the empty bridge, the weather turning the environment into a dull grey. The silver clouds splashing their remains onto the victims down beneath. She despised the rain, never has one good thing ever happened during monsoon. The death of her mother took place while the storming clouds were lashing their small town with buckets of the transparent liquid. Her father lost his first ever job and on his way home bearing the sad news, it started drizzling out of season. Her dog got hit by a car when the driver couldn't see because of...yeup, you guessed it, for it was raining. And this day too proved to be no different. Tears the size of pearls refusing to stop as they stain her face. Her car having broken down ten miles from home, her mobile out of the blue having absolute zero charge, the absence of any human as far as the eye could see, the news her doctor had just broken to her, all constituted to her loathing the rain ever more.
Her doctor...their conversation filled up her mind once again as she trudged across the sloppy bridge. I shouldn't have gone to that cursed place in the first place, she thought.
*flashback*
"What do you mean I wont be able to see by the end of the year?!"
"I will not beat around the bush here, you have what we in medical terms call con-rod dystrophy. Its a disease that destroys the cones and rods of the eye eventually making you complete blind."
"There's a cure right??" She was frantic now as she held on to the last thread of hope.
"As of now-"
"NO! I cant go blind! I'm only seventeen! I haven't even lived a quarter of my life!! There has to be a cure!"
"I'm sorry, I can under-"
"Stop. Do not say that you understand, you arent going blind in the next four months. Bye doc."
"No, wait, listen-" his voice was coming slower and slower as she got up and slammed the door shut and jogged down the hospital corridor, all the way to her car. When she reached her car she stopped and gasped for air. Putting her back to the door of the car she slid down and sat on the road. Her head against the car, a desperate plea for this being a dream had just left her mouth when cue the rain.
This isnt fair! She tried swallowing that lump in her throat, only to
Be rewarded with more tears.
*end of flashback*

She stood on the bridge, dangerously close to the water edge, as she saw those bright lights shining from all the way across the river. I can see that even through the precipitation, there is no possible way I am going blind, she tried reasoning. She could see the trees that dotted the edges of both sides of the river, their leaves beginning their turn from dull green to a bold red, vivid orange, or vibrant yellow. The dark brown bark was starting to peel from some of them, revealing the beige wood under it. All this she could see from where she stood. Tears still continued to stream down as she hastily wiped her face, ashamed that they spilt in the first place. This wasnt her fault, it was fate, right?

But what happened next, eliminated all her theories. Her mother had always told her not to keep her emotions in. She had always stuck to that, so why stop now? She opened her mouth and screamed at the top of her voice. Which felt good, but the problem started when she had stopped. The gush of the wind picking up quit the velocity all of a sudden, she tumbled, eyes closed and head slightly spinning, trying to catch her balance she opened her eyes only to notice that her vision was blurred. Not being able to see properly in order to save herself, she tumbled forward this time, right to the very edge of the water bridge. She closed her eyes again, still tumbling, in hopes of her vision returning to normal, the on coming rain wasn't of much help either.
"NO! Don't do it!!" She heard a shout coming from her right side, when suddenly she was knocked off her feet from the very side the voice had come from. She felt her left cheek make contact with the wet, muddy ground rather painfully. The weight of the second person was entirely on her as well as the two landed on the quit sloppy ground, resulting in dirtying their attires even more.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry, here take my hand, are you alright?" She heard that voice once again as the person prompted himself up and held his hand out to her. She opened her eyes, relief flooding in as her vision had returned back to normal, for now. Taking his hand she got up and steadied herself. The boy whose hand she was still holding had his hair stuck to his face and his clothes, like her, was completely drenched in muddy water.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied.
"Oh, good." Saying this he smacked the top of her head pretty hard.
"Ow!! What was that for??!" She yelled out holding her head.
"Committing suicide is for cowards! Think about your family and friends!! Why would you want to take your life by your own choice?! No matter how hard your life is going, its because you have the strength to deal with it! You shouldn't just give up and try to off yourself because of those." He looked quite stern with that frown of disappointment, the apologetic smile of having fallen at her long gone.
"I wasn't trying to suicide. I just lost my balance is all."
"Oh, forgive me then for having smacked that hard."
"No its alright, I kind of needed it. I wasn't acting like myself back there."
"So is that why you screamed?" He asked.
"Err, you heard that?" Her cheeks were warming up by the second.
"That is what caught my attention actually."
"I was just having a rough day, wasn't trying to kill myself I swear."
"Oh, thats good to hear. Wait, I meant good that you weren't trying to suicide, not good that you were having a rough day. Ugh, I mean-"
Only this much was needed to be said by him as she burst out in laughter unable to stop herself, surprising him as well as herself. She laughed so hard her gut hurt.
The brunette in front of her smiled sheepishly and said, "Where's your house? We need to get you cleaned right away. Do you have your car anywhere near?"
"My house is.." She trailed off thinking if she should disclose this information to him.
"I just saved your life back there, I am pretty sure we have surpassed the stranger danger situation." He chuckled as he led her towards his car.
Deciding she could trust this person, she said, "Its to the right at the end of the bridge." She said as she sat at the shot gun.
"Or better yet, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked turning towards her. Taken aback by his straight forwardness she replied, "No, I am single as cheese."
"Great, then we can head to this cafe down the lane, it will be a date!"
"What, now? But we are soaked!"
"It's alright, if anyone asks, we'll tell them we are rebels." He said winking as he geared up the car. Making her laugh yet once again.
"Imagine if I hadn't come there at the right time, then the world would have been deprived of this beautiful laugh." He said cheekily as he headed the car in the opposite direction to that of her house.
"I dont have any money on me though." She said, yet once again her cheeks warming up.
"Its a date isnt it? The guy is supposed to pay." He said as he parked his car outside the cafe.
The two walked in, still dripping, wetting the entire way to their booth.
On lookers stared at the two teenagers, some even going as far as shaking their heads and muttering things along the lines of "kids these days.."
But these two barely cared. The reason for her saying yes to this dude was to take her mind off of this situation on her plate. The two had a great time there, eating cakes and drinking coffee, talking about each other, he was a senior, nineteen year old, lives alone, works part time etc etc. She barely remembered having cried. He was able to make her laugh even after she had had the second most terrible news broken to her. He had the built and physique of a football player. About fifteen times more he managed to make her laugh in a matter of minutes. It was in these moments that she fell for him, hard. And he for her, and that goes without saying.
As they came out of the coffee shop, getting drenched yet once again, he stopped abruptly and said, "We just had an amazing date and yet I still dont know your name."
Smiling, she held her hand out into the pouring rain and said, "Hi, my name is Y/N"
He smiles,"I'm your hope,J-Hope" she laughs and they both shake on it.
For the first time ever, something good had happened from the rain. She had found him.
In the years to come, he became her support, her only reason for not having cried her eyes out due to her on coming blindness, her everything. There were times when she battled with herself for letting him know about her disease or not, but it all worked out in the end. And even now, as her four months of vision come to an end, she gazes at him lovingly, drinking up his features, trying to memorise the lines on his face, the wrinkles by his eyes, the shape of his eyebrows. Barely she could see anymore, but even as her sight leaves her, this man never did. It was love till last sight.
