Hurriedly I gestured Jimin to the guardian lobby while I quickly went to my place. Standing next to Sia and Taehyung I was at quite a distance from the stage. Not at the very last but the separation was enough for any of the person standing on the stage to look at the gazillion crowd in a blurry way.

The crowd was divided into two through a pathway for the authorities. The red carpet was laid down contrasting to the marble walls.

With the trumpets the Dean entered in the auditorium in the traditional manner. This European style graduation would almost look familiar to Oxford's if the ceremony would be done in Latin.

Thank god it didn't.

He took his place while other professors, chief guests and trustees followed him. They walked like royalties taking an enternity for one step.

What do they think is going on here? We are not here to see their freaking fashion show. They just had to go and take their places. Anxiously I was waiting for this to end so I could grab my flight but here they were consuming the precious time.

As I rolled my eyes getting frustrated of the continuous entrys I saw him.

Like the whole world paused in this moment to observe his beauty

Like the whole world paused in this moment to observe his beauty. Everything became blurred except his face. His formals were adoring him as a gentleman. For a split of second I couldn't lift my eyes off him.

He was the last one to enter and when the sound of claps reached into my ears I joined in to contribute myself. As he walked with his smirk his eyes turned towards my direction. I wasn't sure whether he knew I was standing there or not but I slightly bent myself to hide among the pupils. When he passed through me I peeked up and saw him sitting next to the Dean.

Soon the commencement started. After an hour or two every other degrees got distributed as we waited being the last in the queue.

Now they started calling names of my classmates. I panicked since Jungkook was still sitting there. He was bowing back to the candidates but I could feel the sting my sixth sense was sending me. Some part of me was aware that he found me in the crowd but some part of me refused to believe that. I lowered my figure. Interlocking my fingers I wished to get an earthquake to escape this hell.

And my wish got accepted. He got a call. I assume it was important so he excused himself.

My constricted tissues relaxed when I saw him leaving. At the exact moment my name was called. Thus I went up to the stage and received my degree as a proud smile was visible on Dean's face. And there my brother clapping more than anyone else cheered for me, standing up at his place.

After receiving the most important piece of paper I was overwhelmed. Nothing could go wrong now.

Even jungkook came back and it was the time for Valediction. Of course the Dean came near the microphone and gave his speech but the official ending would be done by announcing student of the year.
