forty-four.

Graduation came.

"We've never been so proud of you, [Name]." your dad says, his hands placed on both of your shoulders. He kisses your forehead fatherly and gives you a warm hug to which you return lovingly. As you pull away, Seoyun embraces you as well. After all that family affection, Mr. Song tells you good luck and leaves to go to their proper place in the graduation venue.

You wave bye at them and was about to walk, when someone tall approaches you. "Let's go?" Jungkook says with his bunny smile.

"I was just about to." you say, giggling. He takes your hand in his and walks to your respective seats. You're seated rather far away from him, but that's okay. Unlike before, you're rather confident now. Although you still have slight stage fright, you believe you can handle it. You look around the area, many students are talking to one other while waiting for the event to start. You then spot Jimin at the front row. He ended up being the valedictorian in the entire college and you've never been so proud of him. 

After a few while, the principal steps on stage and the whole thing starts.

The event went on for a few hours and it ended finally. You got a few medals for majoring certain subjects and for being the best actress. This is by far the best moment in your life for achieving those goals. After the event, you immediately went to your family and gave them a hug. Your dad tells you how much he's proud of you again and Seoyun is just in slight tears since she feels overwhelmed by her unnie. "Let's take a picture to celebrate this day." Mr. Song says as you and Seoyun gather toward him. He reaches out the camera and clicks snap. The three of you did various poses. 

"Unnie, was college hard?" Seoyun asks, looking at you with her glossy eyes.

You smile and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "It is. But college isn't all about hardships, you'll also experience different moments with the people around you, may they be bad or good. But don't think about college for now and just focus on high school. You'll get to it." you tell and hugged her tightly as she nods with a giggle.

"Ah, annyeonghaseyo, Mr. Song." a familiar voice suddenly speaks, making your attention divert.

"Oh, Jungkook-ah! Congrats!" Mr. Song tells Kookie as he hugs him tightly, the younger male does the same with a grin.

"Thank you." Jungkook says, bowing. "MayI excuse [Name] for a while, if it isn't a bother?" he asks, glancing at you twice.

"Why-"

"Excuse me instead, oppa!" Seoyun chimes in, pushing you out of the way so she could see the boy more. She looks at him in awe.

Jungkook laughs and pinches her cheek. "Maybe next time? I need to talk to your sister for now."

Seoyun pouts cutely. "If you promise we'll go on a date next time."

The boy's eyes widen at her words and you just laugh. "Seoyun-ah, don't make him flustered." you half-scold, stepping in.

"But I wasn't-"

You cut Jungkook off by taking his hand. "I'll see ya in a bit, dad. Unnie will be back, Seoyun."

"Okay!"

Afterwards, you and Kookie walk away from them to have your talk. You exit the venue from the backdoor since the boy told you so. "So what's up?" you ask the boy with a beam.

Jungkook leans against the wall, a blush suddenly appearing on his cheeks. "Close your eyes, [Name]." he states.

"Why?" you ask with a brief laugh.
