So regarding my upcoming story about a man that finds out he hasn’t got long left to live and wants to be isolated until he dies until he meets a girl just as lonely as he is…I need help deciding on how to make them meet.
I have ideas but I don’t know if they seem good? And if anyone has any better ideas, I’d love to hear them.
The idea that I’m thinking right now is for the LI (The man) to come to the hospital trying to disguise himself so nobody recognizes him as the millionaire that everyone loves, for a check up before he finds out about he’s going to die but while walking there he ends up bumping into the MC (You) who had gone to get coffee for a friend working at the hospital, the coffee ends up getting on his hoodie and his sunglasses fall off, the coffee is hot, making him take off his hoodie that was covering his face you know and she doesn’t know who he is and he starts being bitter with her thats when they meet ect.
Then after the rest, the LI decides to go on a walk to clear his head and ends up walking into a bakery run by an sweet old lady and then he sees the MC there as she works there or sum (I don’t know for this part)
Does that sound good or is it cliche? Is there any better things?
I think that the first one is a bit cliche, but the second one is so cute, I’m definitely for the second! Good luck with your story, it seems very interesting
Say, I put both of the ideas together, as in, the first one happens then the second one follows shortly after, how would you make the first part less cliche?
Actually, now that I reread it I don’t think that it that much of cliche, so if you decide it to leave it like this it still would be interesting. But still this kind of scenes appear in many stories. Maybe when the coffee ends up getting on his hoodie he still doesn’t want to take his clothes off, so nobody recognizes him and knows about his desease. MC is trying to help him to wipe it, but he refuses, thinking that she recognized him and all that stuff, so they end up arguing as you planned. I mean I think that it’s the most important thing for him to hide his identity in a place like this
I really like your idea Maybe the sector of the hospital where they meet, in which she spills cofee over him is the place where people volunteer to take care after old persons (Maybe she wants to be a doctor). After that she apologizes (while the LI is till mad). They meet up the next day with the clean hoodie. He spents days alone in the hospital, in solitude and thinks about her (The way she smiled, how nice and caring bla bla bla) He cant get her out of his mind. The curiosity wins, and he secretly comes to check on her (without her knowing, not in a creepy way). Days pass, She makes the elderly laugh, plays chess with them, makes the sick smile :), He starst caching feelings for her. Then a situation happens, they bump accidently again there. He acts angry bla bla bla they talk, and they start to hang out…
Hope this helps you? Or ispire you idk. Good luck with your story
I like the setting of a hospital. If you want to make it a really touching story, you could have them meet in the hospital waiting room. He’s trying to get his treatment/check up, and she’s there for an appointment (such as a therapy appointment for depression, maybe shes sewerslidal, or she is being checked for breast cancer, etc.) They could get to talking there maybe?
Awww it’s a little cliche, but honestly, that can work in your favor, a decent amount of people still enjoy the “harmless cliche” of a meet-cute, and I think if your code it right, it’s going to be adorable
