(1) Bridges

One Shot

The door slams, as usual, and you sigh as you shove your earphones on because you know the argument that follows will ruin your day...

"YOU NEVER MAKE TIME FOR US ANYMORE..."

"...SELFISH LITTLE..."

"GET OUT YOU..."

"...YOU LISTEN, FU-"

"Dammit..." you think. You put the volume of your music higher, but it still doesn't drown out the argument your parents are having downstairs.

In your frustration, you throw on the first hoodie you see and your worn out Stan Smiths, and then jump out your window.

Walking down the street, you breathe in the fresh air, silently contemplating what you were going to do. "Thank god I'm moving out soon... it's a horrible thing to say, but I can't live in that house anymore..." you think to yourself with a weary sigh.

You were spacing out in your walk and soon you stumbled upon a beautiful bridge. You brighten up because you loved the thrill of heights.

Grabbing the rail, you jump on top of he ledge, taking a seat as you dangled your feet over the edge.

Looking below you see clear crystal blue water and finally a small smile comes on your face. You sit there with your eyes closed, finally feeling at peace, if only for the moment. You swing your legs and laugh at how weird you must look.

You must not have been the only one thinking that because someone began shouting from behind you.

"YOU! STOP DONT DO IT!"

You snapped out of your reverie in shock and with wide eyes turn towards the voice. "What? No? I'm not actually going to-" before you could explain, you're cut off.

"I don't know who you are but there's so much in life to live for. It's not worth it no matter what you're thinking right now. Trust me I understand. It's a hard time in your life right now, but from here it can only get better!" The man screams while flailing his arms and starts slowly walking towards you.

You silently chuckle in your head at how considerate he was, especially because he had no idea you were just relaxing. But then you think about his words and realize how much you needed to hear that.

Slowly a grin breaks out on your face, surprising the man.

"That's funny dude, I was thinking the exact same thing. You have nothing to worry about it may not look like it, but I was just hanging, literally... (you laugh silently at your own pun) But thank you, you're really sweet..." You state with a smile, as you turned your body towards him and jumped, making him jump in surprise with a confused look on his face.

"Wait... so you weren't... oh my god... I'm- I didn't..." he stutters and you laugh at how cute he was.

You take this moment to really look at him and notice that he did look slightly familiar to you... you think about it for a second, taking note of his hair, or whatever you could see that was peeking out of his beanie, his sharp eyes and lips that you pictured would carry a beautiful smile and that's when you realize.

"Oh! I know who you are..." you begin.

His eyes widen even more if that could be possible and immediately he looked around him just in case anyone else recognized him as well.

"You're the guy who packed my groceries at the supermarket the other day..." you finished with a grin.

He chokes and breaks out into a fit of coughs, making you chuckle at his reaction.

Finally realizing that you were messing with him, he laughs. It was a beautifully unrestrained laugh that made your heart skip not one, but two beats and you can't help but feel as if you've been sucker punched in the sternum.

"Holy shit... I knew he had a great smile... but damn..." you thought, but cut yourself off when he spoke up. "너가 나를 정말 몰라요?" (you really don't know who I am?) he asked with an awkward look on his face and you decided it was time to stop messing with him.

You huffed in amusement. "ㅋㅋ 장난이에요. 너를 알아 당연하지요!" (I'm just kidding. Of course I know who you are!) you said with a wave of your hand and he just blinked owlishly so you continued.

"너가 BTS의 정호석이에요~ (You're Jung Hoseok of BTS). How could I not know that?" You asked rhetorically and then laugh once again at his reaction.

Silently you asked yourself how long it had been since you've finally laughed this much in such a short amount of time.

"But then... why aren't you..." he started in confusion and you cut him off with your lips drawn into a flat line.

"Because nobody took their time to actually go out of their way and ask how I feel, so although you're one of the worlds most famous idols, you're still human, more so than other people I know" you answered, your thoughts straying to your parents which slightly dampened your mood.

He quickly notices your dwindling mood and reaches for your hand. This time you can't ignore the warmth it gives you and you try to bring yourself to make sure your fake smile doesn't falter, but it didn't seem like you were fooling him.

"Stop. Don't fake what you don't feel..." he starts and with those words you feel a tear, then two, trail down your face. You furiously rub them off but he grabs your hands and wipes them off for you.

"You and I are more alike than you think" he began, "you'd think with how much I smile, I can notice if someone's faking theirs" he continued with a cheeky grin and you give him a wobbly laugh in response.

His smile widens as he realized he was making you feel better. He then starts dragging you away from the bridge, away from your house, and away from your burdens.

"Where are we going?" you ask calmly.

"That depends on..." he glanced at you from the corner of his eyes with a teasing grin on his face "...whether or not you'd be generous enough to let me know your name"

You huff and shoot him your own teasing grin

"...Hmm not everyone has the power of being famous to get their name around" you mentioned, with an exaggerated thinking expression.

"I think you're going to have to earn it" you finally state.

He stops walking and then shakes his head in disbelief "Are you really a fan?" He asks incredulously.

You stick your tongue out. "Nah Not Today" you joked and with a wink, you run past him.

In doing so, you missed the utterly taken aback look on his face. As you run, you feel a hand wrap around your wrist pulling you back.

"What's it going to take for a guy to be blessed with knowing your name?" he tries once more and you pretend to contemplate on that for a moment.

"Well if you really want to know..." you goad and you can see him eagerly listening and hanging onto every word you say "... you need to dance for me" you finished and then smirked triumphantly, not thinking he'd take you seriously.

However you seriously underestimated what a guy, what more Hoseok, would do given a challenge. He immediately starts dancing, popping here and there, and repeating some of the older songs choreography.

You recoiled back in surprise but after watching him you stood in awe, laughing in disbelief because he was really trying so hard to impress you. After he finished, you looked at him straight in the eyes and softly whispered.

"...Y/N... its... Y/N" You flushed in embarrassment and looked down to avoid making eye contact with the man who was now making your heart race.

All of a sudden you feel fingers under your chin and then lifted up, making you fade him once again. He gives you a genuine smile.

"Well Y/N, I think this is going to be the start of something great" he says just as softly and you smile at his words.

Gently, he takes your hand once again and you go along with it without saying a word.

He tugged you forward and you both start walking once more; no set destination in mind, but both comforted in each other's presence.
