Graduation day had finally arrived, marking the culmination of years of hard work and dedication for Wooyoung. As he stood on stage, adorned in his cap and gown, he couldn't help but feel a swell of pride and accomplishment wash over him. San sat proudly in the audience, his eyes never leaving Wooyoung as he walked across the stage to receive his diploma.

San's whole family was there too, cheering loudly as Wooyoung's name was called. It was strange how quickly he had become a part of their family, but Wooyoung couldn't deny the warmth and acceptance he felt from them.

Looking back on the year, Wooyoung couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the guidance and support he had received, particularly from Professor Park, his guidance counselor.

As their eyes met, Professor Park gave him an encouraging nod, filling Wooyoung with a renewed sense of confidence. He knew about Hongjoong's fling with Proffesor Park, the details Hongjoong told his friends were too spicy.

Apparently, he wasn't the only one in his friendgroup who liked a bit of an age gap.

Wooyoung was ask by some other teacher but chose to stay silent on the matter. They wouldn't need any report of misbehavior conduct. This was one of his best friends, in a fling with the best guidance counselor, he has had. No way Wooyoung kiss and tells. After graduation they could figure their chemistry out on their own and maybe even start a relationship, who knows...?

With all good grades under his belt, Wooyoung felt a sense of accomplishment as he joined his classmates in the auditorium for the post-graduation celebrations. Champagne flowed freely, the air filled with laughter and chatter as people celebrated the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

San grinned proudly as he wrapped his arm around Wooyoung's shoulders, showering him with affectionate praise. Then a glint of mischief in his eyes. "You see that idiotic guy over there?" he said, nodding towards Jongho.

"That's my stupid brother, you have met. He had to, last minute, cancel his soccer schedule and has been complaining about it ever since. Even though I told him months ago. So Wooyoungie love, would you please serve him some champagne to ease his pain?"

Jongho shot him a playful glare. "Hey, I heard that," he protested, his grin betraying his amusement.

Wooyoung chuckled, leaning into San's side. "Yeah, but you love him anyway, stupid or not." he teased, earning a mock offended gasp from Jongho.

San rolled his eyes playfully. "Unfortunately," he said with a dramatic sigh, earning laughter from both Wooyoung and Jongho.

It had been several months since Wooyoung had moved in with San, and during that time, their bond had grown stronger than ever. Wooyoung went to his therapy appointment, they would talk in the evenings, and Wooyoung would cook dinner for San if he had a tough day at work.

Wooyoung had made the decision to move out of his parental home months ago, taking only the most essential belongings with him. The atmosphere at home had become unbearable, especially after his parents' divorce. Originally, Wooyoung had planned to wait until after his graduation to leave, seeking advice from psychologist Yunho and his friends. However, the situation became unbearable, hastening his departure.

The news of his parents' divorce hit Wooyoung hard, and it was followed by another blow when Sue, their chef and housekeeper, was fired. Returning home from a meeting with San's parents, Wooyoung found the house empty, and it stayed like that for weeks.

Concerned, he called his parents' personal assistants, only to discover that his mother was staying at a hotel in the city, communicating with his father solely through her lawyer as they negotiated the terms of their divorce and the division of assets, including the family company.
