"Lee Taeyong!"

A crowd applauded and cheered as the mentioned male made his way across the stage, head held high.

Amid the sea of faces, one boy was cheering as loud as he could, competing against everyone else in the expansive room.

Jaehyun watched as the Lee shook hands with the teachers and staff, accepting his diploma and eventually turning to wave to the crowd.

Although he couldn't spot the Jung in the mess of people, he knew he was there.

Nudging the man next to him, Jaehyun couldn't be any prouder. He motioned to the stage, his eyes big. "That's my boyfriend up there."

Laughing at the statement, the Chinese nodded, his phone out, ready to take pictures. "I know."

It was the day of graduation, more than a year after the two had gotten back together. To both of their surprises, they were still going strong.

Of course they had their occasional ups and down, as every couple did, but they were always able to work through it.

If Taeyong had loved their past relationship, his feelings about this one were even stronger. Although he loved all their old adventures and memories, every day he was creating new ones with the Jung.

Of course, it was an interesting day when he had to explain the situation to his parents, but they had always loved Jaehyun, so it didn't take them too long to come around.

He couldn't be happier, and he wasn't the only one that felt that way.

Not too long after the two had split up, Yuta had found a new interest. Although it took a while for the new boy to admit and reciprocate feelings- he was a sort of cold kid after all, Yuta had eventually gotten him.

Of course, Taeyong was in full support, and everyone welcomed Sicheng in with no hesitation. They all loved the boy, in fact.

A big conglomerate of friends formed, with Taeyong, Jaehyun, Doyoung, Yuta, Sicheng, Ten, and occasionally Johnny meeting up all the time.

Jaehyun still had a bit of school left, but Taeyong had to endure the torture no longer. It was a hard journey, but the older had received support from the people around him, and couldn't be more grateful, especially to Jaehyun. So many times during the semester when he was struggling, Jaehyun had helped him study, or bought him some snacks while he was cramming for a test.

Even though the younger was still submitted to the pains of education, he couldn't be prouder of the Lee for getting this far.

Seeing Jaehyun's adoring gaze on the stage, Sicheng smiled at the mawkish behavior. "Could you make it any more obvious that you love him?"

"Hypocrite." Jaehyun whispered, as they had begun to attract the attention of people around them. "You can deny it all you want, but I saw the way you were looking at Yuta last week at dinner."

The other shook his head. Ignoring Yuta was his favorite activity. "I don't know what you're talking about."
