(Wip) anyone here believe that V deserves to have a special interest for the wild west and dress like a cowboy or is that too specific?

[marshmallowprotection]

you got me thinking about cowboy au V too much my brain cant handle it 🫠

The last time you saw him, you dressed his wounds day in and day out, and kept a smile on your face despite how extension the damage to his back was. You didn't want him to feel like he was powerless at that moment, even though he had been the most powerless he’d ever been in his entire life the day of the accident. 

It wasn't his fault criminals burned his house to the ground, nor was it his fault the fire had already surrounded him by the time he woke up in the dead of night! It singed his very soul as he tried to escape, and despite how much pain he was in, the one thing that he kept asking for when he became lucid was his mother. 

Nobody had the heart to tell him what happened to her in the fire... not until after you left the town to advance your studies in medicine.

She sacrificed her life to save him that night.

It was an act of love nobody would ever be able to erase.

You tended to him just as that woman would have wanted you to when you were barely older than he was at the time. You were just children at the time, not much older than twelve, and all the same, you wanted to save his life because he was a kid who treated you with a smile every time you saw his face.

Being the only child of the town's doctor was awfully lonely, but you wanted to follow that career to make sure smiles like his would never disappear. Your father tried everything he could to save his mother in the dead of night, but the wounds were too much... too grave... and it was over before he could mend anything. You... spent hours cleaning his charred skin during that time. You prayed they would come out of the other side together... but they didn't.

You stayed by his side throughout his recovery process just to make things easier on your father's work in town. You got to know him in a way that not many people did, and whenever you felt any doubt in yourself, Jumin Han was there to place a hand on your shoulder and let you know it was going to be okay. 

He didn't suffer alone, there was always someone there with him throughout the process. That wasn't normal in your profession, but you wanted it to be.

That's why as much as it pained you to leave your small town when you did, you knew it would be worth it in the long run, because the more you learned about medicine, the better your chances would be at helping people like him and his mother from an untimely end. 

He was your first patient and the one who radicalized you the most in your humanity.

You wanted nothing more than to make sure his suffering wouldn't last for long if you could do anything about it with your knowledge. You felt much better about that sentiment now in your life, but as you watched the train move on the track and bring you to more familiar scenery of your childhood, the only thing you could think about was the knot in your throat.

You hadn't seen him in years and the idea of seeing him exhilarated and terrified you. 

What would you say?

What would you do?

With a heavy heart, you looked down at the faded photograph from the last day you were with him and Jumin. Jumin had a stern face, one that could last the time it took for a camera to process a photo, Jihyun had a nervous smile on his face that didn’t waver for as long as it took the shutter to develop… and you? You had your eyes turned in his direction, a gentle look in your eyes as your hand steadied him on his feet. 

God.

You had it bad for him, didn't you?

"Jihyun, I reckon I have to be brave today... not the kind of brave that makes me fit for a doctor who ain't scared of no blood, but the kind n' brave that'd make me face you without gettin' tonguetied. I hope yer' ready for a blast from yer' past... our past. Jumin said ya' were doin' good... but I can't wait to see myself."

Amen by Amber Run for Cowboy au Jihyun. Specifically his grief and guilt over Rika's death. I am not okay

Sometimes, I can't help blaming You For leaving me here, what am I supposed to do? There's plenty of women, there's drink and there's drugs But we both know that won't be enough 'Cause I see You in the daytime, and I hear You at night There's a pale imitation burnt in my eyes I don't wanna be here, I don't know what to do Sometimes I'd rather be dead, at least then I'm with You

This is the one universe I have where Rika ultimately and tragically loses her life. It's a bittersweet ending for her, one where she had a taste of everything that she wanted, but she gave it all away in the name of making sure those boys had the opportunity to have a taste of it. too. Even if they were only able to have a day or two of it after she lost her life, she thought it was worth it. But, that sacrifice was similar to the one Jihyun's mother made.

His mother gave up her life to protect him from a fire, and she knew it would be worth it every time to save her son. But, he is the one who has to live with the grief and shame every day. Rika and his mother died because people had a vendetta against someone and decided to take it out on the ones they loved.

His mother died because his father wasn’t a good man, and Rika died because someone hated that Jihyun was trying to do the right thing by some kids. Jihyun blames himself for both of those actions, even if he wasn't the one to doom them. Even though he and Rika don't... they don't quite have a traditional romantic relationship in this AU, they still loved each other.

It doesn't matter if he's having nightmares where she blames him for her passing. It doesn't matter if he's had a few bottles to put himself into a stupor. There is a part of him that will always feel as though she should blame him for what happened to her... even he learns better in his future. He will always feel a sense of "what if"?

She brought life into his world and gave him a sense of purpose after he felt lost for so long. It's hard to imagine a world without her light, and even though he's got a long way to go to heal from this pain, her loss sticks with him everywhere he goes.

Because she was the light itself, and everything it touches will forever remind him of Rika.
