"Are you three going to stay in Korea after they graduate?"

Hyein nodded as she walked with Haerin around the auditorium, the two a little lost in trying to find Hanni and Danielle's parents after going to the bathroom.

"Yeah, Dani-unnie plans to stay in Korea since her parents are permanently here now. And Minji-unnie and I will stay here as well in case the goddess needs us again in this lifetime."

Haerin slowly nodded, glancing around to make sure no one was listening to their conversation.

"Has she ever called to you guys after the evil was sealed?"

"Nope not this time, but there have been times where she asked us to do something in previous lives... Is Hanni-unnie staying here?"

"Yeah she wants to, she might visit Vietnam with her parents more often though since she's more free in college."

Hyein snickered at that, "I feel like Minji-unnie will be so~~ sad if Hanni does go out of country, even if it's just for a vacation."

"I can't imagine a mopey Minji, I think I'd accidentally laugh in front of her."

The two laughed, quickly trying to find their seats with Hanni and Danielle's parents before the ceremony began...

The two had decided to come to Minji, Hanni, and Danielle's graduation, Hyein coming with Danielle's parents while Haerin came with Hanni's parents.

The two pairs of parents greeted the maknaes again as they sat down, Hyein glancing over as Haerin kept constantly fidgeting with the hem of her shirt, sometimes resorting back to picking at her fingers.

"Oh yeah."

Haerin glanced over as Hyein began to rummage through her bag, "Dani-unnie said it might be too crowded for you in here, so she asked me to give this to you when we find our seats."

The cat stared at the beaded bracelet Hyein held, letting the younger girl put it on her wrist.

"She made it so that the beads move, she didn't want you picking at your skin."

Haerin softly smiled as she felt the beads, "did she now?"

'Always so sweet...'

Hyein nodded, gently patting Haerin on the shoulder before leaning back on her chair, watching seniors line up on the ground floor...

"Kim, Jiwon."

Haerin leaned in closer to Hyein, "Minji's next."

"She looks so small in that gown."

"Wait until you see Hanni."

Hyein snickered, the two watching as the eldest in their group walked up the stage.

"Kim, Minji."

"YEAH MINJI-UNNIEEEE!"

"Minji-yah hwaiting!"

Hyein alongside Danielle's parents cheered the bear on, Haerin a little more quiet, but still supportive of her older friend.

Minji flinched from the sudden yells, giving them an awkward smile from the stage as she received her diploma.

The girls and parents quieted down as the next student was called up, waiting for their next friend to be called...

"Min, Dahee."
