Chapter 765: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 48
The moment he received the call, Byul immediately stood up and ran out of the classroom, leaving his two best friends looking at each other in shock. After all, they had never seen Byul that excited--not even when he received his award.
But Byul didn’t care about anything at that moment. He rushed toward the library, which was empty during graduation, and went to a corner, hidden from anyone--even though there was no one there. He looked at his screen again, and his heartbeat increased even more. He patted his cheeks, feeling the heat spreading all over his face.
Is this real? Is this real?!
He looked at the screen again, double and triple-checking the account, making sure it was from the right person. His fingers were trembling, even while he told himself to calm down.
"Okay, stay cool...stay cool..." Byul took a deep breath. There was one sure way to find out if it was truly the owner of the account. Byul took another deep breath and pressed the call button.
Just a normal call. He wasn’t brave enough to do a face-to-face. Not to mention, he was sure his face would be so messy and ugly.
As the connecting sound was made, Byul bit on his nail, waiting. When a clicking sound could be heard, he almost failed to breathe.

The low, deep voice he had been missing all this time. Byul bit his folded knee to prevent himself from screaming. So what if he graduated that day--he still felt like a young teenager in love.
"H-hyung?" he finally found his voice. "Is it really you, hyung? Are you...are you out of the Tower?"
[Yeah, I just got out] the voice was gentle, telling Byul that his hyung hadn’t changed at all. [Lucy made an automatic reminder that it’s your school’s graduation. I heard you’re in an art and performance school?]
