Most individuals do not believe in 'love at first sight'. It is often a mystical concept, framed to be one of the most otherworldly experiences one can undergo. Such a mystery causes doubt, not due to ignorance, but due to lack of first hand encounter. No human can fully grasp a concept without first understanding it on their own accord. I, for one, did not care for the myth. I was never one to believe in the extraordinary, and loving someone at first glance seemed rather impossible. It is often in the world, though, that unbelievers get taught lessons before those who have hope. Once again, I was one of them. The universe loved to slap some in the face with her neverending knowledge, and in the most pretentious settings. A college party, so cliche. One I did not care to attend, and was rather dragged to. I sat there, trying to blend with the shadows and willing the darkness to envelop me. The writhing bodies surrounding me were all too warm, the smell of alcohol intoxicating in the worst way, and smoke from lit cigarettes obscuring my vision. That was, until someone spilled their drink on me one time too many, and I looked up. All sense of overstimulation left me at that moment, every curse bidding the world goodbye on my tongue, when my eyes connected with the soul in front of me. A blue-haired boy, calling on every apology he could muster. Beautiful amber eyes, the color of the aged whiskey swirling in his cup dangerously. As ridiculous as it might sound, the moths within my heart erupted into butterflies. Their delicate wings welcoming an entirely new emotion inside of me, stirring up parts of me I had no idea existed. I felt as if the smoke clouds surrounding me had enveloped my entire body, burning holes into my soul. The whole world paused, cotton was shoved within my ears, and all I could drink in was the beautiful sight of him in front of me. Alas, we fell in love. That overbearing party became the luckiest part of jo my legacy, forever set in stone, carving my life into the timeline of the world. We married, blessed the world with tiny humans that held his amber eyes, and experienced the world beside each other. Kim Taehyung was the unyielding force in my life, never faltering through all of life's obstacles. My wish was that those eyes would be the last I saw before I was taken to a new plane in the world. That their warmth would bid me a last farewell, show me the universes within it and burn its constellations into my own eyelids - so that, when I closed my eyes forever, all I could see was him. But, as the universe loves to do, I was taught one less lesson. Those eyes closed before mine.
- rewritten.
