Thanks for 500+ reads ! It means a lot to me!!

TAEHYUNG'S POV
The next day I woke up still feeling Rose's arm around me.
I slowly move her arm and walk out of the bed.
I walk to bathroom to freshen up.
After freshening up, I went to check my phone for any texts or messages.
I see Jimin's message from last night saying

Craziest thing is going 2 happen ! You'd luv 2 know it !
I replied him back with
ok dude , meet u at the Jin's house . See ya :)
Just as I tapped my phone to send the message, I saw the date flashing in small black italic letters on my screen.
Wow.

The next day is graduation. I am going to graduate.
I don't have any idea if to be convivial or highly nervous .
'But the nervous part is done' , a part of me said but the other, the more certain part said, well this all was nothing . Now is the real beginning. But whatever be the case , I know I was up for a better future. Why you ask? Because I have the greatest friends and the love of my life by my side ready to face any risks just for me.
I stroke Rose's cheek and tucked her hair behind her ear and leave the room .

As i walk downstairs the bell rings .

"I'll get it", I say to my mom who was enjoying tea on the couch.

"Yeah thanks", i say to the guy as he hands the box to me.

'Who was it?", mom says .

"Uh its...", i say as scan the piece of clothing that came in the box.

" Oh my baby boy!!", My mom squeals when she sees my graduation uniform.
I almost get embarrassed but I see tears forming up in my mom's eyes .
" Mom ... Hey...", I say while side hugging her .
" Ah my son is all grown up... I can still remember the day when I dressed in that little cowboy dress for your first day of school because you wouldn't go in any other . And look at you you now, all grown up", she says while caressing my uniform.

"We were never here for you during your special times Taehyung... I'm sorry sweetheart.. But we'll not make the same mistakes again.. ", she frowns as she looks at my middle school graduation photograph kept on the mantle piece when i went with Aunt Jennifer.
I clench my fists a bit but only to realize that, no matter what, my parents still loved me, and the least I could do was give them the tiniest bit of that love back.

" Mom I'm still your son who is always going to be there for you ", yeah cheesy, but true.

" Hey Mom I had a question ", just then the door knocked , " ah finally , I'll get them to sit and have some tea ".

***

" Fellow Students and their parents , your presence here makes this day even more special than it already is .", Our principal said looking at a small note kept on the podium roof with a little numb voice.
" I know this was a hard year and I know that we are all up for a really emotional departure this year.", He sighed .
" So without any ​further ado, I'd like to start the ceremony. First , the students that made all of us realise that hard work may actually have no boundaries, the toppers of Park shin high of the year 2017!", He cheers and you could see the actual happiness in his tone.
Rose holds my hand and suddenly kisses my cheek , " go ahead oppa!!" , She cheers.
"Aren't you coming ?? ", I smile and drag her up holding her hand.
" Opp~"

" Third place, Jung Sooah!"
" Second place , Kim Taehyung!!"
Everyone in the group cheers .
I walk ahead while holding Rose close to me .
" Kim Taehyung ", the principal greets .
I take Rose with me making our parents cheer from the audience.
" Taehyung...?..", the principal gave an interrogative expression.
I nodded with a smile and the principal made way for us to reach the podium.
" It was all because of her. If it wasn't for her , I won't be here. It's not only mine but hers."

ROSE'S POV
My eyes start to tear up the moment he says that .
" But opp..", I try to tell him that it was his hard earned work but he presses his finger against my lips ," shhh.. it's ours. .. now you don't want me shut you up by kissing you in front of the entire audience ", he winks and I feel my cheeks turning red. I blush and look away.

The principal hands Taehyung his degree which he gladly accepts and then he brings his merit certificate ahead and he suddenly grabs my hand and we both accept the certificate at the same time.
Everyone gets their degree one by one and we all wave our hands around and cheer our throats out.

LILIA'S POV
Jimin drives me home after the party.
We all enjoyed to the fullest at the after party. The new thing to witness was Hoseok's dance moves, like dang ! Gotta compete with that !
" Ok so now I'll be asking you to close your eyes." , Jimin covers my eyes and holds my hand up the stairs," be careful don't face palm yourself ", he chuckles.
" But what are doing sir ? Ain't this my room ?", I say as I hear the familiar rattling if keys of my bedroom door.

"Ugh Lilia you speak too much !", Jimin shakes me a little in annoyance,"now shut your mouth".

He makes me enter the door carefully as if I didn't know how my legs worked. I'm not complaining though.

I open my eyes and see darkness.
I stand in confusion as Jimin walks towards probably the switch board when I hear a bell tingle.

Jimin turns the lights on and I see a little puppy on my carpet!

"Omo!!", I squeal and pick the little thing in my hands .

" It's sooo cute!! Oh my God thank you oppa !"

"I know ... What ?"

I shake my head and peck his cheeks ," thank you so much ! Uh, this is the cutest thing ever !"

Jimin plays with a locket in it's collar which I realise is a heart shaped photo locket.

"Want to see?", He says smiling.

" Of course", I fidget with the locket and open it, it had Lemon written on it in english.

" Do you like it ?", He looks at me with expectant eyes.
" I love it !" I peck his cheek .
I blush and cuddle with our new dog .

" What's with lemon ?" I ask at his unique choice of name.

" Ahh... I want you to guess ", he gives a eye smile.

" Hmm..... You like lemons ??..", I say the most random and stupid thing that popped in my head.

" Really ?", he crossed his arms and squinted his eyes, "ah you can't do it ok so..".

"No, no I'll guess ! ", My ego gets a bit hurt.

After several minutes of looking around in the hope that someone would drop the hint by writing it on the sky , I finally give in.

"Ohk ok I can't ! now tell me ".

" It's because Limin sounds weird."
