Bloom Ink [C.YJ & C.SB]

Months have passed and the group grew stronger than ever. They even went on trips together during school breaks to spend more time with each other and bond. They were inseperable.

Now, in a blink of an eye, graduation was coming up. Yeonjun and Soobin are graduating this year, but the rest were still schooling. The soulmates were busy applying for college and getting their portfolio ready. The two were still in love like lovesick puppies, and could never get enough of each other.

Their families have met for a dinner a few times, firstly initiated by Soobin's mother. And just like that, they all met and got to know each other better and it felt like a complete family. Besides the stress of trying to settle down for college, everything was perfect.

The past few months has been a roller coaster ride for the group. They're all busy with studies, clubs and exams. The soulmates even had multiple arguments, because they were too stressed out and lashed it out on each other. Some arguments turned ugly, to the point where they won't even speak a word to each other for days until their other friends forcefully push them to each other to talk it out.

But then again, they were soulmates and can't technically stay away from each other, so they made up, and their relationship became stronger.

The two applied to the same college, not wanting to separate from each other. Soobin came over to Yeonjun's house more often, and the five made a weekly sleepover tradition where they have a movie night on fridays and stay over for the rest of the weekends.

"Ugh, I can't belive you both are graduating already. It's gonna be so boring during homeroom now." Beomgyu groans, looking at the soulmates.

"Yeah, it's definitely gonna feel different without you guys around." Taehyun comments. Huening Kai just nodded at whatever the two said. They've been together for so long and to suddenly lose two members will definitely feel weird.

"C'mom guys, it's not like we're relocating to another country or something, we're just graduating. We can always meet up at my place if you guys are bored." Soobin said, ruffling each of their hair.

"I know it's difficult, but you guys have one to two years left here, make it last and just hold on for a little more." Yeonjun adds and the three nodded, although there were still upset.

"C'mon boys, the ceremony is tomorrow, so don't think too much about it. Smile for me please? It's the last day of school for everyone. We can all celebrate tomorrow." Soobin pleaded, trying to make the younger boys smile.

"Fine, we're still sad, but we'll push through for you oldies." Huening said, earning a glare from the soulmates.

"Hey, come back here!" Soobin yelled, but the three already made a run from him to get to their classes.

Soobin sank back down in his seat and sighed. "God, I'll miss those stupid idiots."

"It's okay, binnie. We can all meet up, like what you said. Now stop being sad before I attack you with tickles okay?" Yeonjun said, playfully threatening the younger.

Soobin chuckles. "What, you think I'm five or something?"

"Shut up! I was just trying to comfort my boyfriend!"

Fast forward to the graduation ceremony, the graduating cohort were all seated in the hall according to their majors, and the hall was filled with chatters, probably excited to finally graduate.

The three were upstairs from the viewing gallery, and Soobin and Yeonjun were seated in their own majors.

"Can you find him? I'm so fucking blind I can't see shit." Beomgyu said, squinting his eyes to find his cousin.

"Damn right you are. Soobin hyung's right there, can you see him? And Yeonjun hyung's right over there, how can you not spot a blue haired boy?" Taehyun said, pointing to where the two boys were.

Soon, the ceremony started and the three were busy taking pictures of the both of them when they went up on stage to take their certificates.

After multiple speeches, the ceremony ended and the three boys went back down to quickly congratulate the two boys.

"Beom, Kai, Hyun! We're here!" Soobin yelled out, catching their attention and they ran full speed to attack them with a hug.

"Congratulations on graduating hyungs! You guys look good!" Taehyun said, and the other two passed the bouquet of flowers to the two of them.

"Have you guys gotten back the news for your application?" Beomgyu asked and the two shook their heads totally forgetting about it.

"Help us check the results, I'm too scared." Soobin said, handing his phone over to Beomgyu and Yeonjun handing his phone to Taehyun.

The both of them looked at each other and smiled. "You both got in!" The soulmates were relieved and Soobin gave a kiss on Yeonjun's forehead.

"Soobin, Yeonjun!" A familiar voice calls him out and Soobin beams.

"Mom!" Soobin yelled back, hugging her tight. Soobin and Yeonjun's family came down to catch their son's graduation and they congratulated them as well and the five greeted them.

They all went down to go grab some pictures and went out to a BBQ house to celebrate. The family went back first, leaving the five of them to hang out for a bit- they were staying over anyways.

They were at the park near Soobin's apartment, enjoying ice cream. The soulmates sat on the swings, while the other three were playing and running around.

"Hey, Yeonjun?" Soobin called out, making the boy look at him, tilting his head and looking at him with so much love and adoration.

"I just wanna tell you I love you, and thank you for making my flower bloom."
