The sun is setting, cold breezes emerging as Summer moves away and Autumn begins to settle in for its annual stay. A young couple sits in the local town park, a small but usually vibrant place during the bright daytime.
With dark hair loose, trailing in the cool air, the girl presses her knuckles to her lips as she steadies her nerves for the coming few moments. The boy, with messy hair and only a thin hoodie to protect himself from the changing weather, tries to comfort her.
"What if we don't get in, Yoongi?" The young girl asks, concerned eyes looking at her boyfriend in anticipation.
"Stop worrying about that. There's no way they wouldn't accept you!" He replies enthusiastically, fingers brushing against her cheek in an attempt to reassure her. It doesn't exactly work, even when he flashes her his signature gummy smile.
"Listen Y/N, we've worked so hard to secure our grades. We did extra credit and got work experience done. And honestly, you were the more determined out of the two of us. I know for a fact that if you weren't with me, I wouldn't have cared at all. We will get in."
That did make Y/N's racing heart slow down a little. She gives him a small smile but stiff nod in response. So, the two wait together for news that could make or break them.
Oh, the news? University confirmations.
They're sixth form students, or were, since they finished their last year and took their final exams months ago. After strenuous, hard work, they decompressed... but awaiting them were their results.
They got them yesterday and the results were better than predicted for the both of them! Yet, the sick feeling in their stomach wouldn't go away so easily. Whilst most people would have been confirmed a place at their applied university at the same time, or even before, the one they specifically wanted had different procedures.
Since it was a prestigious institution, music and performance university, they had many applications to consider with top standards. Usually, Y/N was the optimist in the relationship but here she took a melancholy and stressed backseat, leaving Yoongi to cheer her up now.
He believed that they would succeed, more than anything ever believed before.
A few minutes pass and then, at the same time, they both get an email notification. "Oh my God. Oh my God, I don't want to open it."
Y/N sets her phone down on the grass and begins shaking her head, while Yoongi rubs her back in soothing motions. "It'll be okay. Trust me? C'mon, let's open the email together."
Y/N looks into his eyes through her eyelashes, utterly scared of what that electronic letter holds for her. Yoongi pecks her lips sweetly, before her forehead in what he hopes would calm her down a little.
Eventually, Y/N picks up her phone with trembling hands. They start a countdown aloud, where they would open the email at the same time.
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
They click at the same time, wide eyes skimming through the email contents to find the vital sentences. Y/N lets out a short cry of joy, covering her mouth as she finds out that she has been accepted.
"Yoongi!! Yoongi look, I—" She stops what she's about to exclaim because... Yoongi is just staring at his phone with a blank expression.
He looks up at her with no emotion in his eyes, now as cold as the Autumn air surrounding them. A deafening silence falls between them, before Yoongi lets his head fall onto Y/N's shoulder.
He didn't get accepted.
The End ♥️
