Chapter 50: Graduation

Jungkook's pov

Today's the day.

Today is the day that I am officially done with high school. It's weird.

I've gone to school for majority of my life. Having to follow a daily morning and night routine. Having to deal with extra stress because of an assignment or a test. Having to make sure I'm on time to all of my classes. Making sure all my homework is done before class starts or at least have it done and turned in at the end of class. Having to lug around book after book each night to study and hope the next day that all that studying actually paid off.

Thankfully it did.

In a way it's kinda sad that my high school life is ending. It's also quite scary and nerve wracking as well. Although I am a adult, at least with being in high school I was able to have my last bit of freedom from actual brutal adulthood. But now with graduating, I'll finally be a full time adult.

It's going to be strange for awhile not having to wake up at 6:00 am every morning to get ready for a long day at school. Where as instead now it'll be because of a early dance rehearsal or interview or even a recording studio session.

I guess my day to day schedule won't change much, but it's just going to be strange to have a whole day of freedom instead of a few hours. Of course being an idol, I probably won't have that much freedom. I'll still be busy as ever, especially now since I don't have school as an excuse to slack off in rehearsals.

Yes I have used school as an excuse for when I was tired and didn't want to practice. I wasn't proud of it and only did it once.

As I walk the halls one last time memories start to cloud up my head. While I look at my locker or any locker one last time I sadly smile, remembering all the times Alex or any of my friends would lean and just talk by them.

My high school career is ending and will be over after today. It's a little scary, but all the more humbling to know that even with being a full time idol, I was still able to get through high school.

Which alone is challenging in itself.

I'm currently sitting in a uncomfortable chair at the front of the room while the rest of the school sit behind me and the rest of the idols or students graduating early sit beside me.

Principal Jung is saying some speech he prepared. I'm only half listening, the other half wanting this to be over with so I can get my diploma and leave. I'm hungry, since I skipped breakfast, so after this is over with the hyungs and I are going out to eat. Thankfully he finishes his speech and starts calling all of us up on stage one by one.

I walk up on stage seeing Yugyeom and BamBam. They smile and BamBam being the extra person he is, gives me an overly excited thumbs up and smiles wide. While mouthing the words "We did it." I shake my head and control the laugh that wanted to slip out. Yugyeom notices him and whacks him upside the head. BamBam gives him a look and returns the favor by whacking Yugyeom on the arm repeatedly, well until principal Jung catches him. Giving him one of his famous glares and annoyed head tilt.

BamBam smiles sweetly at him and Jung just rolls his eyes. Yugyeom rubs his arm and when principal Jung turns away from them, he punches BamBam on the arm. BamBam quickly clutches his arm, quietly and quite dramatically cries out in pain. Yugyeom smiles over to me and I shake my head at them with a smile on my face.

I look away from the two and focus on the crowd in front of me. I spot James and Alex almost immediately. They smile up at me and I send them one back. James mouths words to me, but I raise my eyebrow indicating I have no clue what he was trying to tell me. I see him roll his eyes, but repeat what he wanted to say. Thankfully a lot slower than before.
