As soon as the final buzzer beeped, everyone in the crowd started to cheer, especially the winning school, "Na Jaemin managed to score one before the buzzer! Neo High School wins!"

It was just a friendly graduation basketball game with their longtime rival and Donghyuck's team. The two, along with Jeno and another friend named Renjun, managed to build their friendship up again after almost losing it after primary school. From the stands, Hyejin sees the twoo goofing around making it seem as if the two are in the same team.

"You did it again." Hyejin gives Jaemin a hug, tiptoeing to successfully wrap her arm around his neck. Jaemin slightly lifts the girl and twirls her around, making Hyejin squeal and hold onto his neck tighter, but not too tight at the same time, "Jaemin."

"Hm?" Even though Jaemin is still out of breath and tired, the boy managed to regain his energy just by looking at the girl in front of him.

"I have to tell you something, Jaem." Hyejin looks at the boy with hopeful eyes as she tries desperately to keep her cheeks from flaring up.

Jaemin's light smile starts to become a smirk, "Is it what I think it is?" he whispers softly to Hyejin's ears, "Cause if it is, you can just say it right here princess."

Hyejin took in his words, her body trembling slightly at his quiet but powerful actions, 'Na Jaemin, I swear...' she thought to herself, "When did you become such a flirt?"

"I don't know," Jaemin lifts his eyebrows and pretends to think, "I guess ever since this certain girl told me that she likes me back, I guess." He leans over again to place a quick kiss on her forehead, "And I guess when she told me to wait just a little more." Jaemin tilts his head and looks at Hyejin, full of fondness and awe, "She makes my heart crazy. She makes me look forward to starting the day. She makes me feel loved and alive."

Hyejin breaks out into a shining smile at his words, "Hmm? Really?"

"Oh yeah."

Jaemin gives another kiss to her forehead before joining his team once again. Graduation is finally here. The last week of school is finally here. And real life is finally starting.
