Chapter 767: Side Story 4. Endless Journey - 50
[You owe us a big one, okay? We perfectly pretended that you hang out with us after the graduation ceremony]
Byul chuckled and sent a gift card for SavAsh’s new summer collection to the group chart. A bunch of bowing stickers filled the chat room then, before another chat bubble came.
[But what are you doing at school? Who are you meeting with?]
Byul bit his lips and replied briefly. [Not telling :p]
He closed the chat as his two friends fired up all kinds of protesting GIFs, calling him a traitor and such. He lay on his back and brought his new pendant, rubbing the crystal and the platinum cast. Without being able to hold himself, he started to grin widely and kick his feet in the air. If he didn’t remember that he lived in Uncle Dia’s mansion, he would have screamed already.
Byul really didn’t wish much. He just wished he could see Kar at his graduation--or maybe his birthday. He would have been satisfied with a simple video call, honestly.
But, what? Not only did Kar come in person, but they also spent the afternoon together, going around the school and taking pictures, even having lunch in a hidden place that apparently Uncle Bas used to come to a long time ago. Just the two of them. Oh, he knew he shouldn’t think much about it, but it kind of felt like a date.
And then, and then--the necklace! Byul never thought Kar would still remember the promise that they made seven years ago, much less fulfilling it. If he felt a bit special because of it...would it be bad?
It felt like his birthday already.
"Byul! Are you ready?"
His mother’s shout from the hall woke him up, reminded him that he was supposed to get ready for the celebratory dinner. Byul got up and carefully put on the necklace, before standing in front of the mirror to fix his hair. After all, Kar would be there too.
