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...
"Hi, Ava." Taehyung stands there with his chest heaving and his eyes wide as we lock eyes for the first time in what feels like a lifetime. "I'm sorry it took me so long, but I promised I'd come back for you. I tried so hard to come back for you."
This has to be a dream.
Is this the next part of the reoccurring dream I've been having all this time?
He looks so real.
His voice is so clear and still so deep...maybe even deeper.
He's staring at me, but he's not coming any closer.
Did I faint?
Did I cry so hard I fell asleep on the beach?
"Ava?" Taehyung wearily asks taking a step closer. "Do you hate me?" He thinks about taking another step closer, but moves his foot back to its original place.

"You...you...you're here?" I stutter, wondering if I'm going to wake up.
"Jagi, I'm so sorry it took so much longer than I originally thought it would. Please believe me when I said I did everything I could." He runs his hand through his hair worriedly, "Can we talk? Please?"
My brow furrows as my confusion hits me even harder, "Talk? Talk?! You haven't even tried to contact me since we broke up and now you just show up, with no announcement, and want to talk?!" I shout at the top of my lungs.
I should be fucking ecstatic about seeing him, but after feeling angry towards him just a few minutes prior, I can't stop my blood from boiling. So he just leaves out of my life - basically falls off the face of the planet - and then just on a random fucking Sunday in early September, he decides to show up unannounced?
"Ava-"
"No, you fucking left me Taehyung. You didn't-" I feel the familiar lump gather in my throat and I squeeze my eyes shut to try to avoid crying, "I waited for you for so long!" I scream at him and he flinches at the infliction in my voice.
"Ava, I-"
"What the fuck? I mean seriously...what in the actual-"
"Ava, will you please shut the fuck up and listen to me for a few fucking minutes?!" He yells back at me with a deep almost roar, making me stop and look at him with shock written all over my face.
He's never talked to me like that ever since I've known him. Taking a deep breath, I revisit the last few minutes in my head and take responsibility for cutting him off from speaking so many times.
He's here.
It's what I've dreamed about...literally.
"Go ahead." I plop back down on to the blanket I hadn't yet gathered up and stare up at him, patiently waiting.
