“ And you’re really sure you don’t mind?” He asked for the millionth time and just like all those other times before you answered him with the same lie. After being together with a celebrity for as long as you had, you had gotten good at telling those kind of lies. Others would probably pity you because of that, but by now you were used to it. This was just how your relationship with Baekhyun worked, you had never known it as anything else. He was busy, always on the way and you were a normal college student who was mostly at home. Because of your education it was impossible for you to follow him everywhere and because of his famous status it wasn’t possible for him to stay here with you. So the two of you kind of went your own way, while trying to combine your lives together every now and then. You had tried to multiply those moments by moving into a small apartment a few months ago, but even now you still didn’t have much time for each other. He had started his world tour a few weeks ago, so around this period of the year you’d have to miss him even more than you usually did. Though, perhaps you had still hoped that he would be able to arrange something. Maybe you had wished that his manager would understand how important this was to you and that he would let him go so he could share this day with you. But just like most of the times when you longed for something, it usually didn’t come true.

Not that you were unhappy, no, Baekhyun made you feel like the luckiest girl alive. You just wished he could do it more often. “Yes, I’m sure. Now stop worrying about me and get back to work before someone scolds you.” You said, trying to suppress the disappointment inside of your voice as you looked at yourself in the mirror. This morning, you had woken up early, making sure that you’d look as good as possible for today’s events. After all you had been looking out for today for months, had been living up to it. Still, now that it was finally here it wasn’t going to be as perfect as you had hoped for it to be. “God, I’m so sorry babe.” He groaned on the other side of the phone and you sighed deeply, feeling guilty because you had made him feel bad. The last thing you wanted was for him to blame himself for not being here with you. You understood he had responsibilities and he couldn’t just shove them aside for you, though it would have been nice if he would have been able to do it this time, just once. “Seriously, it’s fine. Now I should go, the ceremony it going to start in a few.” Actually it was an excuse. You simply needed some time to get yourself together and to get over the fact you were going into this by yourself before you went out today. By the sound of other voices coming through the phone you could tell s were collecting around him They were great guys and you had always gotten along with them. Over the time, while you and Baekhyun had started to get serious, they had always been very kind to you and they had always been very supportive of your relationship.

If there was a good reason why he wouldn’t be able to make it today, of which you were sure there was, then it didn’t have anything to do with them. “Okay, well, I’m sure you’ll do just fine. Congratulations babe, I’m so proud of you. Have fun today, I love you.” He said pressing kisses into the phone which still managed a smile to slip onto your face. You couldn’t be angry at him for doing what he wanted, for doing what he loved. Perhaps you were just being a fool about this and you shouldn’t be this moody. The fact that you’d have to miss him for so long would only make it even more special when he would actually return home.For weeks you had been looking out for that day, that you’d finally be able to wrap your arms around him and press your lips against his again. God, how badly you wanted to do that right now, but it was impossible. “Thanks. I love you too.” With that you ended the call and sighed deeply while staring at the background of your phone. It was a picture of the two of you that had been taking on a night out with friends. Baekhyun had been giving you a ride of his back because you had been exhausted from everything you had been doing that day. It was a cute memory, back to the time where the two of you had still been able to hang out with each other because EXO hadn’t been that busy yet at the moment. Today was your graduation day, after three long years you were finally about to leave college behind. For months you had been longing for this day, where you’d finally be able to leave school and you’d be able to go to work. The only thing that scared you about that was that you’d have even last time for your boyfriend than you had now. “Honey, are you ready to go?”

The voice of your mother resounded from downstairs and you quickly put your phone inside of your bag before hanging it over your shoulder and walking out of your bedroom. There was no way you were still planning on getting late. Your parents had been excited about your graduation for a long time,
