chapter 91

The graduation ceremony happened.It was just like I remember back in elementary school. Everyone is in their uniform, saying goodbye to their friends, shedding tears and hugging each other."I'm going to miss you so much!" Yuri wailed. "Keep on texting me, okay? We'll hang out all the time and in college, we'll be roommates and -""Calm down Yuri." I smiled as I sobbed. "I'll always keep in touch. You're the sister that I never had and it's going to stay that way."She pulls me into a tight hug but as soon as her boyfriend approached, I could do nothing but let go of her."Go." I whisper. " Your knight in shining armour is here."She pulls back and holds my hand as she walks away, finally letting go as her boyfriend gave her the warmest hug.Hugs, hugs, hugs.It's painful how I cannot hug someone I wanted to hug the most at that moment.I can see him in the crowd of people, wearing his usual uniform just like the day when the teacher announced that I'll be paired with him. It's crazy to think that how a project like that has linked us so much in a way that I cannot probably live peacefully without him.It's crazy how I happened to love someone who I never ever imagined to be a friend of mine. Just because of a project."Let's go." My dad coldly says as he noticed me staring at Yoongi and his parents.He grips on my upper arm tightly and begin to drag me out of the hall, my mom following us behind."Dara!" A teacher calls me, making my dad withdraw his grip from my arm right away as she approaches us.She's the teacher who gave us the project.It all happened because of her."We'll give you a minute." My dad whispers to me and then gives my teacher a smile before walking ten feet away from us. I continue to watch them and I feel a sudden relief as I saw them taking to their friends who were parents from the graduation as well."The project that you and Yoongi handed me was my favourite project that I have ever received." She compliments me, making me stare at her in shock.For the whole semester, she has ever said to me or anyone in our class. She used to be the most grumpy teacher in the whole school."Thankyou so much." I replied ,my sight starting to become blurry with tears pooling in my eyes.  " That means a lot."She gives me a smile. A smile that meant hundred words. A smile like she knew what was happening. Like she knew how I felt. It was an understanding smile."What really is your dream?" She asks me.What is my dream? It has never occurred to me that.... I don't know what my dream is. I knew what I wanted to do. I know what my passions are. But what really is my dream? What do I want to do in able to be happy?What is it!?"I don't know." I replied honestly with a shrug, paying my under eyes with my fingers to get rid of the forming tears. "I honestly don't know.""Well, I hope you reach that dream in future." She says softly and then proceeds to give me a motherly hug. And then she whispers, "Whatever that is.""I will try to." I promised her as she pulls back and giving me one final smile before she turns her back to me."Good luck in the future, Dara." She says as she walks away from me.My mom and dad soon walked towards me again, and I made sure that my eyes had no sign of tears anywhere before they could see me."Let's go home." My dad says again, but for some reason, he's not gripping on my hand anymore.But even if he tries to become nice to me again, it's too late.Because I'm going to Seoul with Yoongi and try to reach my dream in there.Whatever it might be. Whatever it costs.♫♬♫♪♬I'm scheduling the parts for a week since I've exams starting :)
