Double update, last chapter everyone </3

"Next up, I would like to request Lee Jeno, Adelfa's class president and Top 1 to please come up to the stage," the announcer said.

The brunet nervously stood up as people around cheered and clapped their hands, Mark suddenly stood up and yelled, "THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND!" making Renjun pinched the bridge of his nose.

Jeno chuckled a little as the audience laughed at Mark's silliness. He gets on stage and taps the mic to check it. "Can everyone hear me?" He asked shyly.

The audience answered with approval as some people cooed at his shyness. Once again Mark was screaming his name while Renjun was nudging him to shut up.

Jeno coughs awkwardly and smiled a little, feeling relieved when he saw a familiar hand waving on the air forming into a thumbs up as he saw the person's face.

"Uhm, first and foremost, I'm not really good with speeches," he said awkwardly, "yeah, I'm the top 1 of our class yet I can't even speak properly in front of many people," he adds earning a few giggles.

"But I'd obviously like to thank the school staffs for educating us very well and also their great hospitality," he smiled looking at every school staffs in the room.

He sighed with a cheeky smile on his face, "I'd like to thank my friends next, thanks for almost ruining my school year by almost getting me in trouble with your stupid ideas," he chuckled.

The audience laughed as Donghyuck pointed a sneaky finger at Mark who was snorting.

"As I said before, I'm not really good with speeches or anything like that. But I want to thank Renjun for being like a mom to me even though it was more likely being bias but I appreciate that," Jeno said

Renjun wipes a fake tear as he cooed while Jeno could tell he was going to be baby him later, "I'd like to thank Mark next," he looks at the boy.

The Canadian looked excited and cheered for him, "I would never forget the times you kept getting grounded because of you and Renjun's prank wars." He giggled.

Mark snorted and muttered something as Renjun who heard it gasped and smacked his head.

"Donghyuck," Jeno looks at the boy who was smiling at him, "thanks for being there for me especially when I cried because of something ridiculous," he chuckled.

Donghyuck grins and nodded at him as a "you're welcome" signal.

Jeno pursed his lips and grins with his eyes starting to shine with tears, "I'd like to thank grandpa who's sadly at the hospital right now for his own health," he starts.

"Even though I misbehaved some of the times, he was always gentle and considering towards me. Although he's my grandpa, I often see him as my own f-father," he croaks.

"He took care of me while my parents couldn't, he treated me like his own son which I'm very thankful of because I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him."

"Unfortunately, he's now sick," Jeno said sadly. The audience "awwed" as the school staffs and students were also sad about the news.

"I don't know if he can win this fight right now," he continued, "but I know he deserves some rest after the times he sacrificed himself for others," he sniffled.

The audience were also tearing up along with him, everyone knew about Lee Donghae. Everyone was friends with him, and to hear such news from the elder's grandson was devistating.

Jeno sighed and bit his lip, "I won't be the one to take over his spot since I'm still young, but I know for sure I would like to have the opportunity next time," he said.

"My uncle, Lee Taeyong, will take over his spot as the school's principal by next year and so on," he glanced and gestures to the man sitting besides the school vice principal.

"My grandpa did a lot for everyone, not just me. And I hope what he taught us will linger in our hearts and we'll apply his advises in the near future." Jeno adds.

He saw Jaemin smiling sadly towards him as Renjun was already holding a crying Donghyuck while Mark was wiping his tears.

"Pops was one of the people I looked up to, he was my hero in my eyes," Jeno smiled, "he was my savior and the light that guided me through my life," his voice cracked.

He sniffled and wipes a tear that ran down his cheek, "I can't thank him enough," he said and smiled through the pain.

He then looks at Jaemin, "I want to th-thank my boyfriend next," he paused as the audience was still crying.

"Jaemin, you're the best boyfriend I could ever have, even though we had a few misunderstandings and arguments, we're destined together," he said.

He smiled as Jaemin gave him his sweet smile, "I know we still have a lot to go through and we're still young, but I love you so much, Nana."

Jaemin wipes a tear as he swallowed down a sob smiling at his boyfriend who was standing on stage, "I have many things to thank all of you about, but I can't just form them into words."

Jeno then smiled with his eyes smiling along, "I prefer to show it than say it," he said as more tears ran down his cheeks.

"Thank you everyone for being a part of my life, we're now going to college soon and I don't know what will happen," he paused and scans the room showing them his smile.

"But I do know we'll meet each other again." He ended and took a bow as the audience stood up giving him a round of applause.

The announcer thanks Jeno as he continued his last announcement of the day while everyone was still sniffling from shedding their tears.

Jaemin smiled stepping out of the car as he walks up to the familiar back of his fiance, although they're in their last two years of college, it felt like it was the right time anyways.

He wrapped his arms around the figure as he heard a sigh, "Jaemin's here now, pops," Jeno whispered staring at the gravestone.

Jaemin hummed and pecks his temple as he greeted back with a mumble, he interlaced their fingers standing there for a few minutes.

"The anniversary is coming soon," Jeno mumbled turning around wrapping his arms around the pink haired's neck.

Jaemin placed his hands on the brunet's hips, "which one?" He asked.

The brunet smiled, "their anniversary is coming soon," he emphasized as Jaemin glanced at the other gravestone besides Lee Donghae's.

"Ahh," Jaemin lets out as he smiled back, "well lets visit here again like we always do," he pecks his lover's forehead.

Jeno hummed and hugs him closer before a ringtone interrupted them, Jaemin groaned taking his phone out of his pocket, "what now Mark?" He hissed.

The brunet giggled at his lover's behavior, Jaemin always got annoyed when someone ruins their moments. You think that's scary, if only you saw the pink haired getting angry when someone touches his Jeno.

Jaemin ends the phone call as he rolled his eyes, Jeno laughed and took his hand intertwining their fingers together. "Let's go home now, we have a test tomorrow," he said.

They turn towards the two gravestone and smiled softly at them, "bye grandpas, we'll be going now." Jeno waved as Jaemin wrapped an arm around his waist and waved as well.

The two got in Jaemin's car and drove back to their dorm to study for their test, atleast Jeno is, Jaemin will be trying I guess.
