"and now, it's time for our art showcases!"

the graduation ceremony was about to end, and beomgyu was the last one to go on stage to present before the whole graduation closed, so that was even more pressurising.

he had a script written out, rewritten a million times and had it memorised fully in his brain.

"unlike other years, there was only one artwork chosen by our new art teacher, mr kim taehyung. may i ask why you only chose one, and what made you want to chose that piece?"

"this piece may look simple, but there are different meanings to it that enhances and brings the whole art piece together. the storyboard was really touching, and i hope that the artist behind it will be able to articulate his feelings out in words." beomgyu heard taehyung explain, and hearing that made his heart warm.

"sounds interesting! may i ask you to describe the artist so that the audience may know who it is?"

that was beomgyu's cue to get ready.

"he's someone who is quiet, and kept to himself. however, when you get to know him, he has a very charming personality that not many people notice. i gave him some advice before today, and that was to speak from the heart instead of trying to memorise a script. and i hope by doing so, he can gain confidence."

"let's invite out choi beomgyu!"

as he was stepping out, the script that was stuck in his brain seemed to slowly leave him bit by bit, and he looked in the crowd trying to find a very special someone.

and that special someone was sitting somewhere near the back, eyes never leaving beomgyu's and he flashed him a fond smile, a smile that he always gave him since they were kids.

and beomgyu's heart warmed at that.

the hall quietened down, and beomgyu started to talk.

"this artwork was centred around love. love can be in terms of romantically and platonically, but either way, it's simple definition is a deep affection towards something or someone. for me, the artwork was based on someone, both romantically and platonically."

his eyes slowly drifted to taehyung's, who was sitting at the front row. taehyung gave him a wink, and he had to stifle the laugh that was very close to leaving his throat.

"he was my childhood friend, and until now, we are still friends. he was everyone's dream son, dream brother, and dream friend. everything was lovable about him, his personality was very outgoing and friendly, and his features are extremely pleasant to look at. but what attracted people the most were his eyes."

beomgyu stole a quick glance at yeonjun, whose face was extremely hard to decipher. there was happiness, yet longing at the same time.

"his eyes held galaxies, and it also was an indication of his feelings. he communicates though his eyes, and not many people seem to take notice of it. it was years ago when i first realised that i had a crush on him. it just clicked, and from that day on, i never stopped loving him."

beomgyu stopped talking and took a deep breath, the reality of the situation slowly sinking in. he was letting everything out, for the first time, in a packed auditorium.

"he was happy majority of the time. his eyes would light up with euphoria before he would start giggling, before the giggles turn onto heaps of laughter. his laughter was contagious, and before long i would start laughing too."

beomgyu's eyes wavered to yeonjun again, and he was still staring at beomgyu, just that this time they were softened.

"i call those days sunny days. i would visualise myself as a seagull and him as the ocean. i would be flying above the ocean, wanting to dive deeper into the ocean as it looks so peaceful from my point of view, where things are carefree and peaceful." beomgyu said, gesturing to his artwork.
