"So, what do you think your guys' next semester is going to look like?" Sunmi questions before taking a sip from her drink. Seulgi immediately shrugs her shoulders.

"I'm this close to dropping out already." Seulgi states while holding her hand up, showing the little space between her index finger and thumb.

"You only have two semesters left." You say before sipping your drink as you furrow your eyebrows while staring at her. She merely shrugs her shoulders.

"I know but I'm so done."

"Just get your degree done girl. If anything just take a gap semester and then see how you feel." Sunmi states. Seulgi nods her head before laughing.

"Yeah, I'll test that out first and we'll see how I feel." She says before taking a sip of her drink. "What about you two?"

"I'm ready to finish my degree and start working already." You respond before taking a bite of the croissant you have sitting on the plate directly in front of you. Sunmi nods her head before shrugging her shoulder.

"I'm honestly not sure. I actually have something to-"

"Ah, one day dating me and you're already going to our coffee shop without me?" you hear the familiar deep voice interrupting Sunmi.

Butterflies fill your stomach and you feel your heart speed up immediately before turning your head to look up and see the one and only Kim Taehyung. He grins down at you, eyes sparkling as he stares down at you.

"Since when is this our coffee shop?" you tease. Taehyung furrows his eyebrows and parts his lips. He then places his hand on his chest as he makes a sound as if he's just been physically hurt.

"Ouch." He jokes before he then looks over at Sunmi and Seulgi. He gives both of them a smile and polite bow of his head. "What are the three of you doing up so early anyway? It's only," he glances down at the watch on his wrist. "4 in the morning."

"Deadline to move out of the dorms is at 8. We finished putting all of our stuff into the moving truck half an hour ago, so we figured why not come here and have a coffee since we won't be in the dorms for a few months." You respond. "What about you, sleepy head?" He shrugs.

"I'm meeting up with Namjoon and Seokjin."

"At 4 in the morning?" you question. "Should I be worried about you doing drugs?" you joke. He lets out a soft laugh and shakes his head.

"The only drug I've tried is weed and that's used for anxiety. No hard core drugs here, I'm not stupid." He says before laughing. "We were supposed to hang out last night around 10 but Namjoon couldn't get off work in time so we just rescheduled. He just got off work."

"At four in the morning?" Sunmi questions. "Wow... glad I don't have a job like that."

"Well, since you're here," you say while jokingly rolling your eyes. "Do you want to join us?" you question. Taehyung nods before grabbing a nearby chair and pulling it towards the table.

"Sure, I hope you don't mind though, Namjoon and Seokjin are on their way here." He states. You shrug your shoulders.

"That's fine... right?" you say while looking at Seulgi and Sunmi. Seulgi widely smiles over at him and nods her head while Sunmi merely grins, seeing as she was interrupted.

You sense this and decide to push the topic back into discussion so she can say whatever she was going to say.

"Sunmi, were you going to say something?" Sunmi glances at you and Seulgi before looking up at Taehyung and shaking her head.

"It can wait." She says before taking a sip of her drink.

"You sure? It sounded pretty serious." Seulgi pushes.

"It's fine, don't worry." Sunmi responds before putting on a fake smile.

"Why didn't you get your favorite drink this time, by the way?" you question. Taehyung is now seated next to you with his arm wrapped around your shoulders, resting on the back of your chair.

Sunmi merely shrugs her shoulders.

"Just felt like trying something new." She states. Seulgi merely stares at her, already sensing something is up while you do as well.

"But you love coffee." Seulgi states.

"I do but I just think I need to cut down on it a little bit, you know? I chugged so many cups of it during the semester that I would have shaky hands; that's not exactly a good thing." She responds.

"Are you doing okay, Sunmi?" Taehyung questions before looking at you and Seulgi. "Actually, are all three of you doing okay? I know your finals just ended because my friend Yoongi just finished his finals and he hadn't slept for a week just to study."

"Min Yoongi goes here?" Seulgi questions. This causes Taehyung to look over at her, tilting his head to the side.

"You know Yoongi?" You question immediately. Seulgi shrugs before grinning.

"Yeah... I know Yoongi." She says before taking a sip of her drink. "Didn't know he went here though."

"Don't tell me Yoongi is the fuck buddy you never talk about." Sunmi pieces the puzzle together. Seulgi merely smirks before taking another sip of her drink.

You and Sunmi widen your eyes before looking at one another. Taehyung's eyebrows raise before he shakes his head.

"How did we not know about this?" Sunmi questions while looking over at you.

"I mean, she just found out he goes to our university. So clearly those two weren't hooking up on campus." You state.

"Oh, we have. We just never talk about anything outside of sex." Seulgi responds before looking over at Taehyung. "By the way, since you're friends with him, don't tell any of his other friends about it." Taehyung holds his hands up and shakes his head.

"Yoongi's sex life has nothing to do with me. Not my information to tell." He says before leaning in to give you a kiss on your cheek. You grin as he does this.

"Glad we have an understanding. I would've had to kill you." Seulgi teases with a serious look on her face. Taehyung merely lifts his eyebrows before he lets out a soft laugh.

"Hey now, you have Yoongi, stop flirting with Y/N's man." Sunmi states while looking over at Seulgi.

"Oh, you think I'm kidding? I'm not." She says before taking another sip of her drink.

"Well, you could try but I should warn you, I've almost accidentally killed someone before." He responds. Your heart sinks as you realize he's referring to his ex-girlfriend's incident.

Seulgi merely laughs, unaware of the fact that he's telling a dark, real joke. Sunmi merely shakes her head before taking a sip of her drink, not wanting to hear weird stuff like that.

"Hey," you say to Taehyung. His head turns to look at you. "What do you say to a date later tonight?" you question.

"You're asking me on a date?" he questions. You nod your head and smile.

"Yeah."

"Well, I am going to need the rest of the day to sleep, seeing as how it's 4 and I'm barely awake right now." He says before yawning. "So around dinner time?" he questions. You nod your head and smile.

"Works for me." you respond. He grins and nods before leaning in and pressing his lips onto yours for a few seconds.

"Taehyung-ah!" the four of you hear a loud voice coming from the door. You all look over at the entrance and see Seokjin smiling widely while Namjoon slowly walks in, hands stuffed into the pockets of his coat. "Oh! Y/N is here." He says before smiling over at you.

"Hi Seokjin." You state while waving over at him.

"So you two made up?" Namjoon questions. You furrow your eyebrows and look over at Taehyung.

"Remember, they thought we broke up for a bit." He whispers into your hear. You nod your head.

"I totally forgot about that fight." You play along before nodding your head. "Yes, we're all good now." You say before resting your hand on his. He smiles over at you.

"You're kinda loud first thing in the morning." Seulgi bluntly states while looking over at Seokjin. Seokjin merely laughs at her blunt attitude.

"You're talking to the man who woke my whole friend group up during a vacation by lighting fireworks at 7 in the morning." Taehyung states. "He doesn't give a fuck if he's being loud."

"Hey! Language!" Seokjin says while pointing his index finger at Taehyung. You laugh softly before looking over at Namjoon.

"Hi, Namjoon." You calmly greet while waving over at him.

"Ah, my bad." Namjoon states while shaking his head. "Good morning, Y/N. I'm a little out of it right now. I just got off work and I'm so exhausted. I apologize for not greeting you first." You immediately shake your head.

"Don't even worry about it." You say.

"Do you mind if we steal Taehyung from you for a bit?" Namjoon questions. You shake your head.

"Not at all." You say before giving Taehyung a quick peck on the lips. "See you tonight?"

"Tonight." Taehyung nods. "It was nice seeing you both as well. Enjoy the rest of your breakfast." Taehyung says before getting up from the seat, moving it back to the other table. Seokjin and Namjoon follow behind him and sit at that table with him.

"It was nice seeing you, Seokjin and Namjoon." You smile over at them.

"The feeling is mutual. See you around, Y/N." Namjoon gives a polite smile.

"See you!" Seokjin says.

"Well, I'm done eating." Seulgi states. "How about you two? Should we start the long drive to get our boxes back home?" you and Sunmi nod before getting up from your seats. As you all exit the coffee shop, the three boys give you a wave while Taehyung winks over at you. You smile and wave at all of them before leaving the coffee shop.

Now onto what's going on in the world:

Sex traffickers in the US are using new tactics to get new victims. They're using a tactic called baiting where they trap your car by having one car pull up in front of you and one car behind you so you can't back out or drive forward to escape. They recommend that you shouldn't leave the parking lot and instead just find a way to stay near the super crowded spots of the lot. If you manage to get out, they follow you. Always go to super crowded and well lit parking lots and if you have to go to an emptier parking lot always try to have someone with you to reduce the risk of this happening. If they start following you, pull up a GPS and start to look up where the nearest police station or fire station are and drive there.

The reason I bring this up is because I know that a lot of my readers are females and I always want everyone to be alert and careful. I never want anyone to be in a situation that isn't safe so I'd rather warn and make sure everyone's prepared in case a situation like this happens to you.

Another reason I bring this up is because a woman by the name of Carlethia "Carlee" Nichole Russell is currently missing. She was on the freeway and saw a little kid by themselves and got out of her car to help and called the cops. However, this is another tactic used. They get women and children to try to trick someone with a kind heart to helping so the traffickers can kidnap them. The cops showed up to the spot where Carlee called but her car was found abandoned and her and the child were nowhere to be found. If you want to help, it's much safer to just make a note of where the child was and call the cops once you are in a safe place. That way, the cops can get the child if it really is an emergency and you don't put yourself at risk. Do not pull over to help, your safety is important.

Carlee has been missing for over 48 hours now and there is a search going on. I'm hoping someone can provide some information to help find her. I really hope she is found safe quickly.

Please, please always take necessary precautions while out. I worry so much about things like this. Never be on your phone when leaving a store, watch your surroundings and don't park next to huge vans or large cars that can fit multiple people in the back.

I don't mean to scare anyone but again, I just want to help spread awareness so that everyone knows the things to do to be safe.

I purple all of you and care so much about all of you. I hope everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves.
Kim 💜
