when joshua finished school , 1 day before caratland , jeonghan's pov

we decided to surprise joshua at his graduation , and since we didn't want all the attention to be on us , only minghao , coups , chan and i went to joshua's graduation . we did travel to busan for this , but it doesn't matter . we had bodyguards outside .

"hong jisoo ." the announcer announced into the mic and we started cheering . he saw us at the back and he waved , his eyes brightening . "since jisoo here is our honours grad , we would like to invite him to give a speech . i will hand the time over to him now ."

"thank you . good morning , teachers , distinguished guests , schoolmates and fellow cohort - mates . i am hong jisoo , joshua , and i am the honours graduate for this year's cohort . i would like to first thank my boyfriend for making my school life better than ever . yeah , you heard it right . the honours graduate is a gay man . i know , i did get into a scandal earlier . in fact , the same guy whom i was in the scandal with is now the boyfriend i have . i wouldn't trade him for the world . secondly , i would like to thank my teachers . without them , i would not be up here today giving this speech . i would not be even on this stage getting my cert , since i would probably have already dropped out . thirdly , i would like to thank my friends . especially felix and hyunjin , who have helped me through this time of the scandal ..." joshua's speech started , and i was watching from the back with a small smile on my face .

once joshua finished the speech , they were dismissed to take photos . joshua immediately ran towards me and the group, pulling us in a hug . he was especially happy we managed to be there for his graduation ceremony , and i could tell from the look on his face .

"thank you for coming today ! oh my god you don't know how much this means to me . thank you thank you thank you ." he pulled away from the hug and he hugged me tighter . "thank you for coming , hannie ... i love you ..."

"i love you too baby . come on , let's go get photos ." i smiled , passing him a bouquet of flowers and placed my arm around his shoulder , as we walked with the gang outside the school to get photos .

people did swarm us , but our bodyguards held them back so we could get decent photos . i now had a photo of joshua and i kissing in front of the sign , and he took other photos with the other boys , especially chan . both of them were close , but not as close as minghao and felix . they were running around like mad men , hyunjin taking multiple photos of the two .

"congrats on your graduation , hyung !" chan smiled , hugging joshua .

"we need to go back to seoul within the next few hours , so we can come help you pack your things in the dorm ." seungcheol said and joshua nodded .

we went to joshua's dorm after he took some photos with his teachers , then we started packing his dorm with the boxes he had inside his bomb shelter . he was slightly crying when we taped up the last box , and we were going to get it shipped to his house - anyway , so he'd still see his stuff .

"we gotta go now , shuji ." i tapped his shoulder and he nodded , standing up , sniffling . "hey ... it's okay , shuji ... it's okay ..."

"i'm gonna miss this place , so much ..." he pouted , looking at me .

"it's okay , princess . remember , your new house is so similar !" i kissed his head and we walked out , joshua taking the last photo of the house , and with felix , for a while .

"i'll miss you shua ." felix sighed and we officially left the dorm building .
