As the weeks unfolded, the weight of college decisions intertwined with the blossoming romance between Yeonjun and Beomgyu. Their daring plan to reunite in the same city after a year fueled a sense of excitement that permeated their every interaction. They spent stolen moments sketching each other's dreams – Yeonjun capturing Beomgyu lost in the melody of a new song, Beomgyu immortalizing Yeonjun's hands wielding a paintbrush with passionate focus.

Meanwhile, their friends, Soobin and Taehyun, were embarking on a new chapter of their own. Soobin, emboldened by his confession, found himself holding Taehyun's hand as they walked home from school, their laughter echoing through the quiet streets. Taehyun, his heart brimming with newfound joy, poured his emotions into their melody, transforming it into a beautiful love song that spoke of unspoken feelings and blooming love.

One evening, as Yeonjun and Beomgyu sat perched on the roof of Yeonjun's house, gazing at the star-dusted night sky, a comfortable silence settled between them.

"Do you ever think it might not work out?" Beomgyu whispered, his voice laced with a hint of worry.

Yeonjun squeezed Beomgyu's hand reassuringly. "Of course I do," he admitted honestly. 

"The distance, the transfer applications... it's a gamble."

Beomgyu turned to face Yeonjun, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "But hey," he said, a mischievous glint sparkling in his eyes, "we've always been good at gambles, haven't we? Besides, even if it takes a while, I know we'll find our way back to each other."

Yeonjun smiled, his heart overflowing with love and admiration. "You're right," he agreed. "We'll face whatever comes our way, together."

They leaned in, their lips meeting in a kiss that spoke not just of passion, but of a promise – a promise to fight for their love, a promise to chase their dreams, hand in hand. The future remained uncertain, but as long as they had each other, they knew they could overcome any obstacle.

...

The summer before college flew by in a whirlwind of activity. Yeonjun and Beomgyu spent every stolen moment together, packing their anxieties and excitement into shared adventures. One weekend, they embarked on a road trip to Beomgyu's chosen music school, determined to experience a taste of their future city. They explored the vibrant campus, Beomgyu proudly showing Yeonjun the state-of-the-art recording studios and bustling practice rooms. As they wandered through the bustling streets, hand in hand, they envisioned their future selves – Beomgyu creating his musical masterpieces, and Yeonjun finding inspiration in the city's energy to fuel his art.

Meanwhile, Soobin and Taehyun blossomed as a couple. Their shared journey of exploring transfer programs became a metaphor for their blossoming relationship. They spent evenings huddled over laptops, researching and dreaming, their laughter and whispered conversations weaving a comfortable intimacy. Their melody evolved, now infused with the tenderness of their newfound love.

One evening, as the four friends gathered at their usual spot under the oak tree, the weight of the approaching college separation hung heavy in the air. They shared stories about dorm tours and orientation schedules, a mix of excitement and apprehension coloring their voices.

Suddenly, Kai, the resident prankster, broke the silence. "Hey," he said, a mischievous grin plastered on his face, "I have an idea. How about a pact? A crazy, audacious pact to keep us connected, no matter the distance?"

Intrigued, the others leaned in, eager to hear his plan. Kai, with a dramatic flourish, proposed a series of challenges – weekly video calls filled with ridiculous dares, a shared online journal documenting their college experiences, and most importantly, a promise to visit each other as often as possible. The pact, he declared, would be their lifeline, a constant reminder of their unwavering friendship.
