Taehyung had made his decision.

Mia had used all his patience. That was why he was doing this.

"Taehyung what do you want?" Mia was extremely stressed. Mark's questions, Taehyung's bullying and now sudden change of behavior, Jenny and projects and classes; Mia was even...overwhelmed.

"The deal Mia..." Taehyung gritted his teeth as he spoke calmly as he could. He was losing his patience.

"I know. Why aren't you keeping it?" Mia questioned. She was doing her deal, getting to it. It was just really hard to bring it up with Mark because Mark...she just couldn't. "You promised that Mark would stop getting hurt. You aren't keeping your deal..."

Mia was more upset than angry.

Taehyung scoffed as he pulled the book that Mia had been holding away from her to place it on the top shelf, where she couldn't get it. "I want you to hold your end of the deal, Mia. You have yet to break it off with him."

"I...I'm getting there." Mia frowned as she grabbed one of the metal shelves of the book case. There was no one there except her and Taehyung. Everyone else was getting busy with their upcoming finals and projects, like she should be.

"Not good enough..." Taehyung got even closer. His lips near her ears gruffly whispering his deep voice. "That's not good enough Mia."

She knew Taehyung was not happy about that. She had been constantly getting reminders from him since she had agreed with the deal. Mia knew Taehyung probably had a time limit but she didn't think she would be the one to need more time. She was the one that needed to come to terms with it.

"Taehyung...I need more time." Mia needed more time. She wasn't ready to let Mark go.

"No more." Taehyung took a step behind. "The deal is off. I hope Mark has insurance." Taehyung wasn't one to share or compromise, especially in a business transaction. If Mia didn't want the deal, then that was fine with him.

Mia gasped before quickly grabbing unto Taehyung's biceps. Taehyung's lips were pressed firmly together and she knew he was going to raise hell because he held that power. Mia tugged harder when he tried to pull away from her grip.

"No...I'll do it. Please." Taehyung turned to see Mia.

He had made his decision and he was going to follow it. That was until he saw Mia's face.

Her eyes were twinkled and moistened as they looked at him. Mia swallowed air as she looked up at him. Seeing her face so desperate, Taehyung couldn't help but give her another chance.

Taehyung stood straight again as he turned to face Mia. They stood facing each other, with only a foot in between them. The tension was obvious.

"Call him now." Taehyung demanded before he took Mia's phone from her back pocket and handed it to her with the phone already dialing. "I expect you to be single by midnight."

He walked away leaving the seventh floor of the library, leaving Mia alone with a ringing phone.

"Mia." Mark picked up on the second ring.

She had no choice now.

Mia needed to make a decision. A decision that would define her future.

"..." Mia couldn't bring it up, not on the phone. "Mark...can you meet me at the park?"

"At Hessia?" Mark had just finished his paper, and now had nothing to do. "A date?"

"Uh huh." Mia nodded even though she was speaking through the phone. It was not going to be a date. Even if she wished and wished, what would happen at the park would change the both of them and their relationship.

"Are you at school? Do you want me to pick you up?" Mark pressed, an excitement evident in his bright voice.

"No." Mia realized that she had said that too quickly. "I'll meet you there."

Mia was not ready to face Mark yet. She was to break up with him. By the end of their last date, she would be returning to her single life. A sad, single life without Mark.

As Mia walked to the park that they always met, her thoughts were not on Mark.

It was actually all over the place.

And among that 'all over place' Taehyung was the biggest of them all.

He was the turmoil that overran her life now.
