-three weeks later; Friday morning-

You woke up super happy. It was finally the day you would be graduating. Sadly, Lisa and Jihun wouldn't be graduating with you, but they would be in a couple months.

You took a shower and did your usual morning routine, but you did somewhat bold makeup and straightened your hair. You wore this, and you had your cap and gown in your hands.

You walked downstairs and heard a bunch of squealing, but it sounded like it was coming from your brother. You walked further down the stairs and heard some sniffling.

"Seungcheol, are you crying?"

"No," he sniffled, looking up at you. "Okay, maybe. I'm just so proud of you."

You laughed. "If you keep crying, I'm going to cry!"

Seungkwan and Vernon looked at each other. "Baby, you look gorgeous!" They yelled.

"It's just a simple red dress, it's not that fancy." You smiled.

"But you still look stunning." Hyunggu said.

"Thank you." You said with a smile, walking towards the door. "We're not eating because we're eating after graduation, correct?"

"Right, and we'll take my car, Seungbi's and Hoetaek's." Seungcheol said.

Hyojong, Hyunggu, and Changgu all ran forward. "I call riding with Seungbi!"

Minghao and Chan pushed to the front as well. "Us too."

Everyone got in their assigned cars and headed to the high school. You were already excited about graduating, but since you were graduating early it was even more exciting.

You pulled up to the school and everyone got out. Seungcheol and Jeonghan helped you with your cap and gown. All the boys were standing behind you except for them two, so you turned around to face them all. They all had teary looking eyes from being on the verge of tears.

"Do not cry right now." You scolded. "Then we'll all look like a mess."

"We're just so proud." Seungcheol said, making everyone nod their head in agreement.

"And you look absolutely beautiful." Vernon said, also making everyone nod their head in agreement.

You started to tear up. "I love you guys."

"We love you too."

You took a deep breath. "Let's go."

You saw both Lisa and Jihun standing at the entrance like usual, but with puffy eyes, and Lisa pulled you into a tight embrace. "You look so good!"

"Lisa please don't cry, you're gonna make me cry." You said, tearing up again.

"We're just so proud and we're gonna miss you a lot, Seungbi." Jihun said, and you wiped a tear on his cheek away.

You pulled away from Lisa and wiped her tears. "This isn't the end of the world. We can always visit each other."

"Students, please report to the auditorium for the early graduation, please."

The principal came on over the announcements. "I'm gonna laugh if you fall." Mingyu informed.

"Me too." You laughed. "Okay, I gotta go get ready with the other students. I better see all of you in the front row."

"Absolutely."

Seungcheol gave you a peck on the forehead, Jeonghan gave you a kiss on the hand, and Hyunggu gave you a kiss on the cheek, then you headed backstage. The principal came up to you and gave you a bright smile.

"You'll go last, since you're the top in your class."

Everyone got all set up on stage and the graduation began. The two students got their diploma and then it was you turn. "And last but most definitely not least. We're very proud of our top student, Choi Seungbi."

As you walked across the stage, you heard all of the boys cheering. You smiled and kept on walking, grabbing your diploma.

As you were walking off stage, Kiyo started yelling. "I saw three of your 'best friends' give you a kiss before you went backstage!"

You turned to her and smiled. "This is why you're not graduating early. You worry too much about other people's lives."

You walked off stage, and stayed backstage for a while until most of the kids were gone from the auditorium. Soon, the boys made their way back to meet you.

"I'm such a proud big brother!" Seungcheol yelled, crying.

"And the way you told Kiyo off." Seungkwan said, snapping in a 'Z' formation.

You laughed. "Thank you guys for supporting me."

Seokmin patted your head. "We're going to support you in anything you do."

You started pulling them all to the exit. "You guys look really nice, by the way."

"We know." Wonwoo said, doing a dramatic hair flip with the hair he didn't have to flip.

"So, what are you gonna pursue in now that you've graduated Seungbi?" Yanan asked.

"I'll probably focus on my leader position, but I'm not fully sure." You replied, then the principal walked up.

He grabbed your hand in between both of his. "We're very proud of you, Seungbi. I hope you do amazing things, because you have a lot of will power."

"Thank you, sir."

"Maybe you can come up here and tutor sometimes." He said.

"Of course. Just give me a call." You said.

He smiled and walked off, and Soonyoung started pulling you out of the doors. "Food?"

So, you all got in your cars and made your way to the restaurant you decided on.
