Jeongguk doesn't write a response since Taehyung won't see it anyways. Months have passed since all the drama, today is the last day of school, and the older is graduating. Neither of them is very upset about it at the moment, considering that now they have the whole summer holidays to spend together. No specific plans have been made, they'll both stay in town the whole time, except for four days when Jeongguk is visiting his aunt in Busan. Other than that, they're both free and happy.

The teacher, who's been speaking for a while without anyone listening, claps her hands. "Okay, let's go then. Everybody walk in a line after me." The class meets up with all the other classes outside, the graduates having their own section. Namjoon catches Jeongguk's eye, waving a little. Then the ceremony starts, and then all the students are free. Everyone has to walk back to their classrooms to get papers with information and a private talk with the teacher about feedback. After that is finished, they can finally enjoy their summer break. Unfortunately, Jeongguk has somehow ended up as the last person on the list and has to wait more than half an hour which would have been fine if it wasn't for the fact that the bus and therefore his friends will most likely leave without him. Oh well.

When he finally gets out and walks across the schoolyard, no other human is anywhere in sight, sigh. Or, well, so he thinks until he can hear a certain person's hurried footsteps catch up to him. Jeongguk feels a pair of arms wrap around his waist from behind, he leans into the warm embrace.  "That took forever!"

Jeongguk smiles, Taehyung is just so sweet. "Thanks for waiting!"

"Well, guess who's free and excited to spend the whole summer with his boyfriend?" Taehyung mumbles in his ear, gently kissing it.

"Hmm," Jeongguk says, turning around to look at Tae. "Me?"

"I would hope so, even though it's not who I meant."

Jeongguk pecks Taehyung's lips before putting an arm around his waist as they start walking. "Can I hang out at your place for a while? I missed the bus, obviously. Or we could go for a walk, or something."

"Are you making an excuse to hang out with me? You're always welcome."

"I know," Jeongguk says cutely, earning another quick kiss.

"You can stay over if you want?"

Jeongguk nods eagerly and Taehyung quickly adds: "My parents and siblings will be there, though."

"Eh, that's fine. Cuddling all night is almost as good as sex."

"I wholeheartedly agree!"

They walk together for a little while, chatting about anything and everything. Taehyung leads the younger into a grocery store to buy them both popsicles, which they eat on the way home to Taehyung. The walk to his building isn't more than 20 minutes, also known as perfect for a walk with your loved one. The boys hold hands the whole way and since there aren't many people outside in the middle of the day like this, they even stop occasionally to steal a kiss or two. Despite them sneaking in quick pecks and hugs at school, skinship around people is still something they're both shy about. That's really sad, actually, because if one of them were a girl they'd have stopped to make out on every park bench they passed. But they're okay as it is now, knowing that their families and friends are all supportive is all that matters right now. And yes, Jeongguk finally came out to his parents three months ago. It was pretty messy, but after giving them some time to process the news, they came to "respect his lifestyle". Part of that may have been because of Taehyung, whose charming ways managed to capture their hearts.
