he can't know about the meaning yet. beomgyu wanted it to be a surprise.
"it's fine, i can do it myself." beomgyu said, and he smiled at yeonjun.
yeonjun still seemed unsure, but he slowly let go of beomgyu's wrist and continued walking, deciding to stop pressing on.
and beomgyu walked slightly faster to catch up with yeonjun's wide strides, until they started matching their steps as if they were kids again.
—————————————————————————
beomgyu's graduation was the week after yeonjun's, and he received his examination results back just two days before he graduated. to nobody's surprise, he aced everything.
"our beommie is a genius." soobin commented, gawking at beomgyu's spotless report card. taehyun was equally impressed, and hugged beomgyu extra tight that day to express how proud he was. hueningkai made a huge deal over beomgyu's grades, and nearly broadcasted it to the whole entire school if only taehyun didn't stop him from doing so.
yeonjun on the other hand, just texted beomgyu a simple 'i'm proud of you🤍', but beomgyu was still contented regardless.
he wasn't particularly concerned about his results, his mind was busy preoccupied with his presentation. he didn't want to embarrass himself on stage, and right now it felt as if he was on the track to just stammer on stage.
mr kim was very supportive of beomgyu. he read his storyboard in front of beomgyu a few days ago, and by the end of it, he had lunged onto beomgyu and given his the longest hug that a teacher has ever given beomgyu.
"this is the cutest thing i have ever read. i think i might just cry when i see you on stage." mr kim said once he detached himself from beomgyu.
"but mr kim-"
"call me taehyung hyung, or taetae even. you calling me mr kim makes me feel insanely old."
"i'm not confident."
mr kim—or rather taehyung—just frowned at that.
"just speak from your heart."
it was as if the world was playing a gigantic prank on him, because everything seemed to revolve around choi yeonjun.
——————————————————————————
beomgyu was backstage when he was greeted by all of his friends, which helped decrease his nerves by a lot.
taehyun shoved another bouquet of flowers into beomgyu's hands and beomgyu immediately gushed. he loved flowers.
"yeonjunnie hyung chose them." taehyun said, and beomgyu let out an "oh", looking around and trying to find the oldest, but he was no where to be found.
did he ditch the whole thing?
"relax, he's saving us seats, he didn't ditch you." hueningkai commented, which earned a slap from beomgyu. soobin roared out a laugh, and hueningkai glared at the older.
"we have to run back, it's starting." soobin said, grabbing the youngest two and pulling them away, "good luck gyu!"
beomgyu stared at them disappear into the crowd, before placing the bouquet of flowers on an empty table nearby.
they were tulips, and beomgyu's favourite flowers were tulips.
he wondered how yeonjun knew.
