In a Split Second || BTS

~ a BTS fanfiction ~
In one split second, a star could explode. In that short perception of time, a galaxy could be created at the edge of the universe. In a single moment, a universe could shift with the weight of a heavy burden. Cherisse knows this phenomenon better than anyone. Since her parents passed away at the worst time to experience death as a child - when she was old enough to remember but young enough to not understand that they were never coming back - her life has been composed of hardships and tribulations. She has been forced to dry her own tears and push herself back on her feet; she has learned never to get close to anyone again, because love is a vulnerability that no one can afford to risk.

That is, until seven boys present a beacon of light in her closed-off world. They replaced the stars in her galaxy and set her universe back on its kilter. They brought a smile to her face and warmth to her heart. They changed her life and she began to feel like there was hope in the world - that, perhaps, she could love again. They became the brightest stars in her galaxy.

But, of course, no bright star can last, for no matter how many times you try to revive it, all stars die in the end.

"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope" - Maya Angelou
