Eight: The Festival (Part One)

Keep Me

"Oh my god, stop doing nothing." Jinwoo almost screams when a few of his classmates were just loitering around. They only have a few days left

and Jinwoo wants their rendition of Snow White to be absolutely perfect. "Here, have a glass of water. You're too stressed." Seungyoon holds a glass

to Jinwoo. "Thanks." Jinwoo says, tired eyes focused on the scene playing in front of him. Seungyoon can't help but smile a bit. Seungyoon stood up

beside Jinwoo and he ruffles Jinwoo's already messy hair. "Yah, don't overwork yourself." Seungyoon reminds him and Jinwoo finally looks at him.

"I won't." Jinwoo replies, slowly easing into a smile that Seungyoon likes to see on the boy. "Don't I need to tell that to you though? Your role is the

prince and I can't see you without the script in hand, memorizing the lines and practicing your facial expressions and everything." Jinwoo adds,

nudging at Seungyoon's side playfully. "Nah, it's just that... it's been so long since the last time I worked like this you know? It's nice. I mean, I

kind of missed this. I forgot how fun it actually is to work with your friends and I'm really talking like a nerd now am I?" Seungyoon shies away but

Jinwoo grinned at him. "No you don't. At first I thought you're a lost cause, honestly. I mean you were mean to me the first time I saw you but you're

nice." Jinwoo says and he noticed Seungyoon's ears turn bright red. "Plus, you're babbling is cute not nerdy." and that sentence from Jinwoo made

the flush on Seungyoon's face worse.

Taehyun found an empty classroom and decided to  stay there for a while and do some progress in his work. He pulls out all his pictures that he

printed last night at home. Taehyun loves this. Looking through each picture and remembering where and when he took it. There were black and

white and colored ones. The pictures came on different sizes just like what he needs. "Doing some work?" a voice asked behind Taehyun that 

made him almost cry out loud in surprise. Taehyun looks up from where he was sitting on the floor and he was greeted with a smile he came

to love. "Mmm, yes." Taehyun grins and returns to his photos. Taehyun felt Mino sit beside him and a few minutes passed with Taehyun 

deciding whether to put the picture up for his exhibit or not and Mino humming and smiling at Taehyun. "Jinwoo aked me to look for you to help

in preparing our booth but I guess you are busy." Mino finally says after some time. "What? Then we should go and help him." Taehyun says and 

started picking up his things. "Nah, I'll just say I didn't see you. Besides, I don't want to see Seokjae's face there. It ruins my day." Mino tells

and Taehyun understood what he's feeling because Taehyun doesn't want to go there too if it means being stuck working with Jeon Seokjae.

"Plus, I love seeing you like this. You really love doing this huh?" Mino asks and Taehyun laughs a little. "Yeah, I guess. We've got an

exhibit during the festival." Taehyun informs him. "Ehh? How can you manage doing a lot of things? I can barely memorize my part in the play."

Mino pouts and complains like a child. "Oh, come on, Song Mino. Your part there is only a tree. You just have to stand there wearing a tree

costume!" Taehyun says, laughter resonating inside the room from both of them. "Exactly. You're so good at what you do, Taehyun-ah." Mino

smiles and Taehyun may or may not bushed at that (okay, he definitely did).

The weeks flew by fast with less Jeon Seokjae incidents than what Jinwoo expected and finally, they only have two days until the festival. Jinwoo is

having a really good time because the play is almost polished. The booth was handled well by Seungyoon and Seunghoon who turns out to have a nice

sense when it comes to music. Jinwoo notes that Taehyun seems cheerful nowadays too, specially when Mino helps him with his exhibit. Everything

is going well until now. Jinwoo wants to cry. Well who wouldn't if the lead female is currently hospitalized because she's sick? Jinwoo paced back 

and forth and his other classmates seems worried too because, hey they did participate in making this thing a success right? Only Seokjae and his

'gang' were somehow a bit happy with the news and Jinwoo's blood boiled at the sight. 

 

"What are we gonna do?" a pretty concerned classmate asked Jinwoo who currently has his hands on his face. He lets out a muffled 'I don't know'

which made everyone a lot more nervous for the play. It figures they would lose confidence because Jinwoo's been their energetic ball of nagging

since day one and to see him say that? Well, you can picture the rest. Taehyun rose from his seat and sat in front of Jinwoo, face to face, with a

slight from. "Ya, Jinwoo-hyung." Taehyun says and Jinwoo knows that voice. It's whenever his younger friend scolds him for being careless and not 

looking on both sides of the street before crossing or being too carefree and forgetting they got a project that's due the next day and he still hasn't

done a sinhle thing. "What?" Jinwoo sighs, still muffled and he's on the verge of crying now so he decided to keep his hands on his face. "You told

me you want to be responsible right? Like this opportunity is the best one to at least do something for others. To prove that I can trust you in doing

things. Belive it or not, I do trust you now. Look at these people. Our classmates. Friends. I'm not the only oe who trusts you now. We've come a long 

way for this play. No one wants to see this play fail. I am quite sure you want this to be great. So it up and get your working because I

know that you can do something about this hyung." Taehyun tells Jinwoo with an even tone. No one was payng attention to them, everyone's freaking

out with the last minute change in this play. A minute after Taehyun's intense gaze at their class representative, Jinwoo finally uncovers his face and 

looked around. "Oy, stop freaking out guys. I have a plan. Although it involves me and a major embarassment on my part, I just can't let you guys to 

be upset with this play. We've worked hard together and I promise you I'll do my best to make this work." Jinwoo says and a beat after that, cheers

erupted inside the room.

"Oh my god." Mino says as he sees what's at the backstage of the play. 

 

"Is it okay?" Jinwoo asks.

 

"Jinwoo.... are you sure you're going to do this? I mean.." Taehyun asks, unsure about Jinwoo's plan.

 

"I can handle it." Jinwoo says firmly.

 

"But I think Seungyoon can't. Look at him." Seunghoon cuts in.

 

"Ya, Seungyoonie." Mino calls out but the boy pretends not to hear.

 

This is going to be something big. Seunghoon thinks with a smile on his face.
