Two Sides [Minchan]

Chapter 34

And in this time, this is all what students wait to this day.

---

"And now let us welcome the graduates of school year 2024-2025." the host called the students, the audience arising from their seats.

Minho would be one of the people who are also first in line. Here comes the Summa Cum Laude, the smartest and most active member in school.

Minho was in his graduation gown, smiling widely as he entered the auditorium, his eyes scanning around just to look where his friends would be located.

Felix and Hyunjin waved aggressively, gaining Minho's attention and making the older male smile, waving at them too. The rest of the guys cheered Minho and waved at him too. Chan was holding flowers with him as he waved at Minho too, earning a chuckle from Minho.

The students proceeded to sit on their respected seats, the student council being in the first row. Yuqi was one of the person to take photos of the graduates, cheering for her seniors who are graduating as well.

The ceremony started, and to say everyone's attentive. If we were to ask Minho, this was one of the happiest day of his life because he is finally graduating. Ever since, he was a kid his parents always want him to finish his studies. And even though they always wanted Minho to study in a prestigious school, but because of the war he landed on a simple college school on The Shallows.

Despite not being able to study on the Haven Side, he still top the students on his school. And that is enough to make his parents proud.

The program went as planned, the opening speeches of the deans and the important people of the school.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce the Summa Cum Laude for his speech. Lee Minho, please come on stage." Their dean announced as he looked at Minho.

Minho smiled and sat up from his seat, making his way towards the stage as he hears a lot of hands clapping. Every student in there cheered for the President of School Council and the student with the highest Latin Honor.

The claps did died down once Minho smiled and raised his hand to wave at his co-graduates.

"Thank you, thank you for the warm welcome. First of all, I would like to thank our dean for letting me have my speech for today's event. Thank you, sir." He clapped, making the others clap too including the others who are inside the auditorium.

"It is my pleasure to stand here in front of all the students, teachers, staff, parents and visitors, representing the Seoul Shallows College. I, Lee Minho, is congratulating all of the graduating students that is here with us all. You all have done an amazing job to reach your last year in college and taking every step just to finish studying. I couldn't be happier seeing all of my batchmates that I recognized since I started, are all here graduating with me." Minho smiled as he faced the audience and the visitors, saying his speech that he practiced with Chan.

Chan smiled seeing Minho confidently saying all the words that was on his mind.

"I would like to thank for everyone who supported me every step of the way, my friends, classmates, teachers, my co-officers and to my boyfriend." Minho said as his addition to his speech.

The rest of the guys even smiled and teased Chan about it a little bit. Chan could only smile and blush underneath his mask and hat.

"Continue to live your lives according to your dreams and what you wanna achieve in life. And this is a promising act to be successful. If we cannot go back, the only way to escape is up. I really do think that everything happens for a reason and hopefully those reasons makes us stronger." He smiled again, to the crowd to gave him a soundful rounds of applause.
