--After 2 years--

Hyukjae is now 18 while Donghae is already 23.

Donghae has already graduated from college for a about a year now and is now currently training under his father to take over their family business.

Hyukjae on the other hand has been enjoying his high school life to the fullest. And today Hyukjae is finally graduating high school.

Just like when Donghae is the one graduating, both the Lee families attend the joyous occasion.  Donghae and both of their parents along with some of his friends who were close with Hyukjae were sitting all together somewhere in the middle of the auditorium.

It didn’t take long before the graduation ceremony finally started and the graduation march begun. When it was Hyukjae’s turn, Donghae couldn’t help but stare at the now 18 year old boy.

“Yah Donghae, stop staring or our dear Hyukjae will melt without himself knowing it” Siwon whispered teasingly, quiet enough not to disturb the ceremony and also for both the parents not to hear while their other friends heard it clearly because they were all alternately looking at Hyukjae and Donghae.

“Yah Donghae, You should really confess and claim him soon seeing just how many people are staring at him with want, both girls and boys. So if I were you, you should claim him before its too late” Heegul leaned over Siwon just to tell him that.

Donghae sighed hearing that.

“I know that Heechul hyung, I just don’t know how I’m going to do it though” Donghae answered.

“tss,, wuss” Heechul whispered to himself and Donghae pouted hearing it.

For Donghae the long ceremony seemed to just fly by because he was too lost with staring at Hyukjae. Especially when it was time for Hyukjae to deliver his speech as the top student of their batch. Donghae intently stared at Hyukjae as he was talking, oh how he wanted to kiss those lips ever since a few years ago and how much he wanted to nuzzle his face to Hyukjae’s now curly red hair that he dyed because he said that it was an occasion to be happy so it should be red. Donghae had to admit that Hyukjae looked absolutely perfect. The young cute boy was now a handsome and beautiful young man that was perfect in every way to DOnghae’s eyes.

It wasn’t long before it already ended and it was finally time for everyone to start taking pictures to commemorate the event.

Donghae  couldn’t help but glare when a swarm of both boys and girls surrounded Hyukjae and most if not all were trying their final luck whether Hyukjae would agree to go out with them or not. But the scowl on his face turned into a grin when he saw Hyukjae shake his head and smiled apologetically at all of them which means to Donghae that he didn’t agree with any of them.

Hyukjae made his way through the swarm of people with both Sungmin and Junsu clinging on each of his arm and just let go when they saw their own families and their boyfriends.

Donghae saw that the tall curly brown head that was courting Hyukjae 2 years ago was now in a happy relationship with Sungmin and Junsu was still going strong with Yoochun.

Hyukjae made his way to them and hugged all of them one by one. And of course the picture taking has finally started.

Just like Donghae’s graduation, Hyukjae has  picture with his parents and Donghae’s parents. The only difference now was that even Donghae’s friends had picures with Hyukjae. Each couple with Hyukjae in their embrace in between. Hyukjae was very spoiled and loved by all of his hyungs and of course Hyukjae had a picture with his two bestfriends.

But before Donghae could have a turn to take a solo picture with Hyukjae, their parents said that it was time for the group picture. To which Donghae frowned.

Once everyone was in place with Donghae once again at the center behind Hyukjae. The timer was set for 10 seconds and while waiting Hyukjae saw that Donghae looked kinda lost.

“Hae hyung” Hyukjae whispered  only enough for Donghae to hear.
