Seungcheol smiled at the crowd in front of him. After years of overworking himself to the point where he needed a doctor to visit him every week, he finally did it. He had finally finished his studies, achieved the goal he had since his youngest age. Seungcheol had a bright future waiting for him; the job of his dream, money, a house filled with kids running around him and his beautiful lover.

The only thing missing was the love of his life. He had left him behind to complete his life. Seungcheol never regretted something so bad. The only news he would get of Jeonghan was the rare calls from Joshua asking for money because of the hospital bill. The guilt was ravaging him.

Before crying, he shook his head and bowed at the crowd and took the diploma between his hand. He smiled at the director and walked to the other students who congratulate him.

He had many mentions from his teacher and CEOs who had met him during his stages. With that diploma and mentions, companies would be the ones running after him to have him as CEO. He had already received a lot of request, but he refused them all. His dream was to be part of a music company. He dreamed of hearing songs on the radio and proudly say "that is my music."

Weeks after receiving his diploma, many requests filled his phone number. Everyone was trying to get the famous young man who was the center of attention. He would take their company to the top, everyone needed him. However, Seungcheol was still waiting for the call.

For the nth time on that monday, he received a phone call. He let it ring a couple seconds to act like he was busy before answering.

"Hello?" he said with a joyful voice.

"Hello, am I talking to Choi Seungcheol?" the deep voice asked.

"Yes, it's me."

"This is AM Entertainment, we'd like you to come visit us. We have a post to be the CEO's assistant. It's not the best, but with time you could get a higher grade," the voice sounded a bit stressed, knowing his offer wasn't the best.

Seungcheol's heart was overwhelmed. In terms of grades, it was the worst offer he had received. However, for him, it was the best. He couldn't wish of better. AM Entertainment was a famous music company in South Korea; they had many famous groups, solo artist and even actors. He had always dreamed to be part of this company, that is why he did not wait any longer and replied with a bright "yes, of course! Just tell me when I can come."

The man sounded surprised, he really did not except the young man to accept so quickly. "You can come by tomorrow, we'll send you the adress by email. Thank you a lot."

"I will, thank you!" Seungcheol ended the call. He couldn't stop himself from smiling. He was so close to scream and run around his small apartment, but he couldn't disturb his neighbors; he screamed in his hand while jumping around. Everything was better than he could imagine, it was better than a dream. He couldn't believe what was happenning. He was the happiest boy on earth.

The only thing missing was Jeonghan next to him.
