Ava Young wasn't looking for love but when she met Kim Taehyung, love found her.
Determined to celebrate on the night of their high school graduation, Ava's best friend persuaded her to go to a house party where she would ultimately meet the only bo...
My alarm sounds promptly at nine in the morning, jolting me out of my deep sleep as I frantically try to find my phone to shut it off. I turn back into Taehyung's arms to see that he is already awake.
"What time did you wake up?" My voice was raspy with sleep.
"I haven't been to sleep." He says as he looks over to me and I notice the dark rim around his eyes.

"Baby...why didn't you wake me? I would have stayed up with you."
He smiles fondly at me and rubs his thumb over my cheek. "You were pretty worn out after our...seaside adventure."
It was true. Taehyung had to drive us home and I even fell asleep in the car. I'm pretty sure he carried me inside because I don't even remember walking in or undressing myself.
"Fuck!" I exclaim. "I have to finish packing!"
I lift up to jump out of bed, but he grabs my arm and pulls me back down. He points over to the zipped up suitcases by the door and looks back over to me.
"Already done. I packed everything for you, even though I wanted to unpack it all once I was finished."
My eyes bounce between the suitcases and Taehyung. This is all too real now. This is it. This is the last time I will wake up in this house and with him. This is the last time he'll pull me back into his arms so he can snuggle me a little longer. A small tear begins to roll down my cheek. I quickly try to wipe it away before he notices.
But it's too late.
"I know baby. Me too. I cried all night while packing." He says kissing my wet cheek. "What time do you have to leave by?"
"I have to be registered into the dorm no later than three." I say pulling myself tighter into his arms.
He nods as he wraps his arms completely around me. "So let's stay like this for as long as we can. Just you in my arms and alone in my room."
"I love you and I miss you already." I say as I nuzzle into his neck.
"I love you too and I'm going to miss you every second of every day."
"You better do well in school Kim Taehyung. Don't go flunking classes and taking longer to graduate."
He shakes his head and squeezes me a bit tighter. "I have the best motivation to do well."
Hours later, we force ourselves out of bed and get dressed for the day. Since I have my own car, Taehyung will ride with me to the university and Uncle Kim will follow behind us to make sure I'm settled before...before leaving me.
I take a deep breath to calm my racing heart before starting the car but my hands shake so bad that I can't even find the ignition.
"Do you need me to drive baby?" He asks as he watches me drop the keys back into my lap.
