Final exams were a pain in every student's ass. But if you were a senior, it didn't really matter - you've already applied to colleges, got accepted or not or whatever, your fate was chosen already.

So Mark didn't really give a shit about the tests, he was planning to look over the material two minutes before he had to take said exam.

"I've already given up." the teen sprawled his limbs out like a starfish on his bed.

Donghyuck lifted his eyes from his notebook, stopping his study session to admire his boyfriend for a few seconds.

"Same." the younger tossed the notebook to who knows where, lifting himself from the carpet and approaching the bed.

He made himself comfortable on Mark's chest, their legs tangling together.

"I'm gonna leave my parents." the older said. "Probably for good."

"You are?" the younger played with the fabric of Mark's shirt, his eyes glancing up.

"Yeah." he inhaled. "Since my whole college situation is figured out."

"You're acting as if this is very casual."

"Well," Mark let out another heavy sigh. "I'm an adult, I'm independent now."

"Wow, that's the most mature thing I've ever heard you say."

The older lightly slapped Donghyuck's shoulder. "Like you're one to talk." he huffed.

But he had to admit, it did hurt him inside.

The graduation ceremony wasn't all grand, the fact that you've made it through four years of hell is somewhat applaudable.

Hundreds of students were cramped into the auditorium, waiting for their names to be called so they could receive their diploma and be the center of attention for two seconds.

Mark tapped his foot against the floor, waiting for his name to be announced so he could be given that rolled up piece of paper.

Finally, upon hearing his name and putting on a gleeful smile, he followed the line of students from his row. He shook multiple people's hands before stepping down from the small stage, almost tripping over his graduation gown while at it.

Once the long ass event was over, the boy made his way through the mob of people, managing to find his boyfriend and friends.

"Shall we head off to dinner?" Jeno asked the group. All of them agreed, but had to take a lot of pictures with their families first before granting their stomachs their wishes.

"Mark," Mrs. Lee ran her fingers through her son's hair. His dad was standing beside her, his lips curled into a slight smile. "Congratulations."

She hugged her son, a warm embrace Mark knew he would miss. He hugged back tightly, knowing this was probably the last hug he'll ever give her.

Next was his dad, who also gave him a hug, but the boy didn't - couldn't find himself melting - all he could think about was his father despising him after this.

When all the congratulating had finished up, the seven teens went to a local restaurant and sat at a table by themselves, while their relatives sat at separate ones to give the boys some alone time.

"I'm gonna miss you guys so much." Chenle started. "We made some pretty good memories in high school that I'll never forget."

"Yeah." Jaemin chimed in, fiddling with his fingers on the table. "But we'll always be in touch right?! Forever!"

"Mhm!" Jisung agreed. "I'll never forget you guys."

The group bathed in that deep conversation for approximately another minute before moving on and making dumb jokes and fooling around as usual.

The ride home was silent and peaceful. No music blasted in the car as Mark drove, Donghyuck staring out the window.

When they got to Mark's house, the pair immediately went up to the older's room, per habit.

Mark's parents weren't gonna be home until later due to some conference they were attending later that night.

Donghyuck closed the door, only to be pushed against the back of it by his boyfriend who hungrily smashed their lips together, firmly cupping those sun kissed cheeks. The younger's hands pressed against the older's chest, his fingers curling into the fabric of the button up white shirt.

Mark licked Donghyuck's bottom lip, asking for permission. Being the stubborn person he was, the other did not comply. Grunting lowly, the older's hands made their way down his boyfriend's frame, before full on squeezing his ass.

A gasp escaped the younger's lips, Mark's tongue exploring his mouth.

Soon enough, the older's mouth made its way down to Donghyuck's neck, nibbling harshly on the soft skin. This made the tanned boy gasped, his fingers tangling into Mark's hair, slightly tugging at it to tell him to go on. He tilted his head to the side, allowing more axis for the other to devour.

When their mouths managed to find each other again, it wasn't a long time before they had to pull away, both breathless, staring into each other's eyes, hair already messy and lips slightly swollen.

"Do you want to?" Mark breathed out.

The tanned boy's hands slid up to wrap around the other's neck when he nodded, never breaking eye contact.

"I love you." Donghyuck firmly stated in response.

Warmness spread through Mark's body, his heart fluttering and stomach turning at the phrase.

"I love you too." he replied, before connecting their lips again. This kiss felt different than the many previous ones they've shared.

Probably because of those three words.
