In the blink of an eye two years had rolled by and graduation dawned upon the students. Having survived the long and boring speech from the principal, Seulgi gathered Nari and Jaehyun for group photos but failed to find the last member of their group.

“Where is Taeyong?” Seulgi huffed. “Nari did you scare him away again?”

“I did nothing of the sort!” Nari exclaimed in offence.

Smiling to himself, Taeyong wondered to himself how he had gotten so lucky as to make such good friends.
