Who knows two year had past, my days as a senior almost come to an end. A lot of universities are going to our school and do some seminars.
After the seminar on that day is over, Chanyeol came to me, "So, traveling huh?"
"Yeah, still hoping to get a shot at overseas, but still my parents won't allow." I replied as I walked and he followed me from behind. He stopped me, "Hey hey, cheer up! Don't be such pessimistic, I'm sure you'll reach your dream!" He cheered me and throw fists to the air made me laugh out loud, like usual, I thought.
I pushed him away and start walking, but then he followed me again. "What about you?" I asked.
"Me?" I snodded, "well, I'm taking my sister's path. Art, music, act, singing, what I love" he continued.
"Ahh yes! How is she? I heard she's doing a new variety show right now!" I asked him enthusiastically.
He looked up, "she's very successful right now, a lot of jobs, tight schedules. I want to enter entertainment world, to be like her, maybe a singer."
His answer made me realize how talented he is, acting, singing, playing instruments, multi talented guy. "You're good at music, you will be great" I smiled.
He laughed, "No doubts hahaha well you too! Just don't leave me here all by myself okay!"
I didn't say a word, I won't.

Holiday has come, this December is colder that ever! Didn't realize how time flew so fast, it's my birthday today. But I'm still half sleeping, the weather made me sleepy, just then...
"Happy birthday to you~ happy birthday to you~...". Dad, mom and my brother also my sister came into my room with a cake singing birthday song. With a messy hair, I woke and sit.
"Happy birthday sweetheart" mom kissed me and fix my hair, I just smiled. Dad too, he kissed my cheek, "You're getting older now".
Then my brother came, he pinched my leg. "Happy birthday little chubby!" I pout and smiled. So then my sister did the same thing, she said, "Sometimes please bring you boyfriend here, since you're older already!" I laughed.
Then mom put the cake in front of me, I closed my eyes to make a wish. Same wishes like the other year, only this time, Kyungsoo appeared on my prayer. "Amen" then I blowed all the candles.

That noon, mom and dad called me to the living room. I didn't know what happen, but they look pretty serious.
"Honey, please sit." said dad. So I sit.
"Are you 100% sure about the major you're taking? Traveling?" Mom asked.
I leant myself on the couch, "Yeah, I'm 100% sure about it, what's wrong?"
Mom looked at dad, changing thoughts. And dad nodded but I was so confuse that I wrinkeld my eyebrows.
"We have decide, that, you can go to school overseas".

I walked slowly to my room, not exactly sure what to feel, happy..or sad. I'm desperately want to school overseas but I didn't want to leave this beautiful country, my family, my friends, Chanyeol and Kyungsoo.
I checked my phone, 72 messages. Birthday wishes and hopes were sent, until the 2 last messages that I received, from Kyungsoo and Chanyeol.
I opened Kyungsoo's message, he said simple things, wishes and he said "Chase your dream" at the end of the text, I just smiled.
Then I opened Chanyeol's message. Different from Kyungsoo, his text are full of jokes.
"I'm not short, you're the one who is too tall! Hahaha by the way, thanks for wishes, even though I'm not sure if you mean it ". I replied
Just then mom called me, "Yeah?" I answered from upstair.
"Your friend came!"
I quickly ran downstairs to checked who's coming. I looked out the window, I found Kyungsoo waiting in front of my house. He was wearing a long black sweater with a brown coat, looks good on him.
I was panicked, so I horribly took my coat and ran to the gate.
"What are you doing?" I opened the gate then.."Happy birthday"
He handed me a bag that he was hiding before, I was shocked and couldn't move. I was just looking at him unexpectedly.
His eyes got bolder and smiled, "Here, open it" so I took it, "White, your favourite colour right?"
I blushed, he actually remembered my favourite colour! I tried to calm myself, "Do you have something to do?" He shook his head, "Do you go want to go somewhere?" And he smiled.

"What is it?"
"What?" I asked back as we walk.
"I know you got something to say, what is it?" He asked again.
I was looking at him surprisingly, "Well" I sat on a long chair nearby.
"Just a few hours ago, my mom and dad actually agreed about the overseas thing." I continued.
"Isn't that a good thing? It's what you wish for, you've been dreaming and wishing for this, so why hesitate? Take it and go."
Simple, wise, well said, typical Kyungsoo.
I swing my legs, "I'm afraid of leaving these, I feel lost".
Kyungsoo was staring at me, I was holding my tears and he pat me, "Don't be afraid, you are not alone. I'm coming with you. I decided to go overseas to, to the same place you're going"
I'm blown, my mind can't think straight, my hands can't move, my mouth can't talk.
"So... we're going together?"
He smiled. It was a miracle in December.
