There was a light fog coating over the green grass and plants that ended once the sidewalk began. Seokjin's dog Holly lead a strong lead as she ran along the wide pathway. The sun had already set shadowing a somewhat lighter shade of navy blue in the sky. 

Most of the people at the park around this time were usually my neighbors who brought along their children for the playground or going for an evening jog. The park was peaceful, it was quiet yet never lonely, it was a place where I could feel like one whole with myself. 

This was the place I came too anytime I felt like I needed a breather from reality and focus on Saniya. 

My life has changed significantly since moving to Korea and its made me wonder what is my purpose? What was God's plan for me being here? I only asked myself these questions when things were going too well.

My skin was too clear, my grades were too high, I was too happy. It made me skeptical. 

Reality came crashing back when Malia handed me a thick yellow envelope addressed to me from the head of admissions of UCLA. I hadn't even remembered applying but, I did. The day before we moved to Korea, I sent in my applications. I was too busy on cloud to nine to think about what happens after graduation. 

It's been two weeks since I received the acceptance letter and I had yet to tell any of my friends or even Taehyung for that matter. I knew my friends would be happy but Taehyung's reaction was questionable.

We've only been together for a little over a month, yet it didn't feel like so. Time passed by quickly when you're happy, moments between us seem to last forever. We saw each other almost everyday in and out of school, he prioritized his time with me being number one.

Yet everytime we were together, it never seemed like the right time...the right time to talk about the future. So today I decided to put my procrastination aside.

"Where are you?"

My eyes scanned the area for Taehyung taking a seat by the park bench. "I'm trying to find a parking spot. Are you sure you're okay Saniya? You don't sound like yourself" He said through the phone.

I bit my lip looking down at Holly. "We need to talk Tae". I heard shuffling through his line. "What happened? Is it something I did? Am I going to fast for you?" His tone was shaky signaling his nervousness.

"No! No its not like that...meet me under the park bench".

He was silent for a moment as if thinking, my heart began to race with each second of silence. There was no turning back. "I think I see you. I'm coming" Then the line went dead as I took out my headphones staring down at my phone unlocking it to see a picture of Tae and I two weeks ago at the mall being our goofy self as usual.
