minho walked out of the doors of his school, smiling.
he has officially graduated high school.

"let's fucking go!"
chan, Minhos classmate, said, super excited.

"I'm so proud of you guys. honestly I didn't think that you would make it."
jeongin chuckled, sipping his iced coffee.

"oh please, we're gonna be laughing at you a year from now."
minho said.

"so, since we officially graduated, wanna go for a few beers tonight? we have to celebrate."
changbin said.

"yes duh! that was our plan since freshman year."
chan chuckled.

"I will pass."
minho shook his head.

"what? why?"
everyone asked, confused.

"there is something that I wanted to do for over a year now."
minho said, as he slowly started to walk away.
"enjoy your beers. make sure to drink one for me!"

"what's going on with him?"
jeongin asked, watching minho slowly disappear.

"I don't know."
chan shrugged.
"do you think it has to do with something with that jisung guy of his?"

"he hasn't talked about him that much anymore. he did at the start, but now..."
changbin said.
"I haven't heard about him in a few months now."

"well, whatever his plans are, they seem like they are important."
chan smiled, putting his arms around his friends.
"let's go celebrate now! and get an additional round for minho."

minho stepped out of the train, breathing in the familiar scent of countryside.
oh how much he missed it.

he walked down the familiar path, the same one he did a year ago.
wow, it's really been a year already.

words can't truly explain how minho felt when he saw the oh so familiar gate of the ranch.

"wow, look who's here."
someone suddenly said.

minho turned around, seeing a familiar person standing behind him.
"hyunjin."
he smiled slightly.
"it's nice to see you."

"likewise."
hyunjin nodded, walking closer to minho and shaking his hand.
"I heard you graduated. congratulations."

"thanks."
Minho said.

"hyunjinnie~"
someone suddenly yelled, making minho look behind him.

that someone, was felix.

"hi baby."
hyunjin smiled, wrapping his arm around Felix's waist.
"you're done with your work?"

"almost."
felix said, placing a quick peck on hyunjin's cheek, before actually looking in front of him, his eyes widening in shock when he saw who was standing there.
"holy shit. minho?"

minho smiled slightly.
"hi lix."

"oh my gosh!"
felix jumped in excitement, pulling minho in for a hug.
"you're here!"

minho chuckled.
"is it that unbelievable?"

"nah. I was hoping you would come back next summer."
felix smiled, patting Minhos back.

"so...are you guys...a thing?"
minho asked.

hyunjin smiled slightly.
"yeah. a few months already."

"more specifically, four months and thirteen days."
Felix said, making hyunjin chuckle.
"well, I gotta go. but I will see you at dinner, right?"

"of course."
minho nodded.
