Serah:- 𝐌𝐨𝐦 𝐈'𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐞.
(My mother smiled at me then kissed my forehead , today everyone is happy. I got selected for cosmetic study program in 𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝑲𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒂 . My parents are happy. It's an 8 months course )
Mr. Winston :- 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐫. 𝐌𝐢𝐧'𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 & 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. (I just gave him a nervous smile then gave my mother a goodbye kiss )

≈ I sat across from My friend Kate in the cozy cafe, my fingers tracing the rim of my coffee cup nervously. After a few moments of silence, I finally gathered the courage to speak.

"𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮," I began, my voice tinged with a hint of hesitation.

Kate looked up from her own cup, concern etched on her features. "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝."

I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I was about to say. "𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐤𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚 ," I confessed, my words coming out in a rush.

Kate's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐤𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚? 𝐒𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐲 ?"

I hesitated for a moment before answering. "𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞 𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬."

Kate reached across the table, placing a reassuring hand on my arm. "𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 , 𝐈'𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 ?

I looked down at her hands, my fingers twisting nervously. "𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝟔 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐈 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚 ," I admitted quietly. "𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐈'𝐦 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞."

Kate nodded in understanding, her expression sympathetic. "𝐌𝐢𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭? 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐲 , 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬. 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰. 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 , 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭."
