Graduation
Serendipity
Yunho ran through the empty corridors. Damn! It was his graduation today and he was so late. Man, why couldn’t he wake up early? Last night, he and his best friend – Changmin – had so much fun. They had partied throughout the night, finally falling asleep at 4 in the morning. He, at last, reached the doors of the convocation hall and stopped outside to take a deep breath before he entered the room. All eyes him as he broke the silence in the hall.

And if there was one thing Yunho couldn’t stand that was to study. He hated it and never understood how people could put up with it Well…good thing he was rich. He didn’t need to pay much attention to it.
Kim Jaejoong ended his speech and the dean came back to announce the name of the guy who had dared to fail. Yunho nudged Changmin to wake him up. They both waited for dean to announce the guy’s name so they could tease the person and reduce him to tears.
