The school campus was abuzz with activity. Parents and students alike, adorned in their graduation robes, milled about, their laughter and chatter echoing through the hallways.
Amidst the celebratory atmosphere, Sol made her way through the crowd, her eyes scanning the sea of faces, searching for a familiar one. Clutched tightly in her hands was a bouquet of delicate flowers.

Finally, Sol's eyes landed on a tall figure standing off to the side, his features partially obscured by the throng of people. Her heart leapt in her chest, and she quickened her pace, determined to reach him before the opportunity slipped away.
As she drew closer, the unmistakable silhouette of Sunjae came into focus. He stood there, his graduation robe draped over his shoulders, a pensive expression on his face as he watched the celebrations unfold around him.
Steeling herself, Sol took a deep breath and approached him, her grip on the bouquet tightening ever so slightly. "Sunjae oppa," she called out, her voice barely above a whisper, afraid that if she spoke too loudly, the moment would shatter like glass.
"Oppa!", she smiled as she called out once again. just then, her gaze shifted to Sunjae's graduation robe. There, scrawled across the fabric in a bold, yet delicate script, was a message that made her breath caught in her throat
"Ryu Sunjae ♥ Eun Danoh"

In the span of a heartbeat, a silent conversation passed between them, an unspoken understanding that needed no words. Sunjae's eyes trailed down to his school uniform.
She breathed, her voice barely above a whisper, "I..." Her words trailed off, the weight of everything she wanted to say hanging in the air between them.
Determined to push past the ache that threatened to consume her, Sol forced a smile, "Congratulations..oppa," she said, her voice quivering ever so slightly as she struggled to maintain her composure. "I'm... I'm so happy for you."
The words tumbled from her lips, each one laced with a palpable undercurrent of emotion. Sol could feel the tears welling in her eyes, threatening to betray the facade of strength she had so desperately tried to maintain.
