Falling in love makes the world seem like it belongs to both of you. It's the same with Monica and Afox. They often cross paths and blush at each other.

One night, Monica wants to take Afox for a jog in Hyde Park, London. Monica sends a message via iMessage.

"Hi Fox, are you free tomorrow?" Monica's heart pounds as she waits for Afox's iMessage reply.

Four minutes later, Afox reads the message she sent. Monica is elated when she sees a sign that Afox is replying to her message. The typical iMessage tone is followed by a reply from Afox.

"Free, Mon, what's up?" Suddenly, Monica is shocked, mixed with happiness.

She rushes to reply to Afox's message with an invitation to jog.

"Do you want to go jogging with me tomorrow at Hyde Park?" Monica sends the invitation and waits for a reply from Afox.

"Yes, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6:30 a.m." Monica is shocked when she reads in the chat from Afox that he will pick her up.

She rolls on the bed and screams while smothering her mouth with a pillow to muffle her voice. How could she not? She really likes Afox, and she thinks he has the same feelings for her since they have been close for a while. After reading the last message from Afox, Monica hurries to sleep, impatiently waiting for the morning.

The sunlight begins to wash Monica's beautiful face. She wakes up excited because, in a few moments, she will meet Afox, the love of her life. Monica hurries to take a shower and put on a thin layer of makeup. She also wears perfume to attract Afox's attention.

The clock on the wall shows 6:25 a.m. The roar of a motorcycle is clearly heard in front of Monica's house. The girl opens the door and approaches a man with a green helmet sitting on his black dirt bike. Monica blushes at Afox's boldness, wearing a black running jersey with a yellow pattern.

"Are you ready?" asks Afox.

Monica suddenly replies, "Already, let's go."

The trip takes approximately 20 minutes. Arriving at Hyde Park, Afox parks his favorite motorcycle in the parking lot. They start jogging leisurely. Monica, who is always misbehaving while smiling a little, is finally noticed by Afox.

Afox then asks, "Why, Mon?" while stammering, Monica answers Afox's question by shaking her head while holding back her embarrassment

They enjoy the park while jogging. On the side of the park, there is an ice cream truck, and Afox takes the initiative to buy Monica some ice cream. He orders chocolate and strawberry ice cream and gives one to Monica. Flowers seem to bloom in Monica's heart. How could she not feel special when someone treats her so well?

After finishing the ice cream, Afox invites Monica to go home because he has an appointment with his friend in the afternoon. They hurry home, just like this morning, and now Afox drives Monica home.
