"What if I told you that I want to be with you?" She asked me, her dark brown eyes boring into mine.
"Then you'd be making a huge mistake," I stated bluntly.
"I make plenty of mistakes, Jupiter, but you're not one of them."
_________________________________
Eighteen year old Jupiter 'Rebel' McKenna is three things: reckless, sarcastic and stubborn, and also happens to have a thing for fire. But after the horrific tragedy of her family's death, she realises that maybe fire isn't such a good thing anymore. Especially not after her lighter was found at the scene.
Jupiter is forced to move in with an aunt she's never heard of, in a town the size of a peanut with somebody who wants the world to know her secret, somebody she thought she could trust. But it seems like Jupiter isn't the only one keeping secrets around here, Jupiter's aunt is hiding something, so is her best friend and the cute firecracker she met on the rooftop.
So what is everyone hiding? and what will happen when the secrets start coming out?
There's only one thing Jupiter is sure of: fire, secrets, love and heartache don't leave much room for a happy ending... or does it?

Corrosion || BTS Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) ✓
"I broke once. I let someone in. That was stupid. It was as if my world couldn't get any worse. I don't understand why people have a yearning for love and affection when everyone is a liar, leeching off of each other. I won't ever listen to that luring feeling in my heart ever again! I'll stay closed off, like before, never to let anyone in again." Hoseok woke up, choking on air as the same nightmare possessed his dreams. Her ringing screams. The same sentence scaring into his brain and heart, "Remember, this is all your fault." This story is fictitious and has nothing to do with anyone or anything in real life. Warning: This story is a bit violent. Started: 3/11/18 Ended: 6/17/18Complete
