CHAPTER 4: School Festival (4)

"Noona, here are the prizes that you wanted! Where do you want to go next?" I didn't notice that he was already done with the game. I didn't stare at him that long did I? I hope I wasn't drooling while looking at him! I avoided his eyes as if I was trying to look for any fun games to try when I noticed someone… "Hey, Mingyu isn't that….?!" Before I was able to finish what I was saying, Mingyu had grabbed my hand, quickly ran and dragged me away somewhere! What the hell is his problem? "Oi, Mingyu! Why did you drag me away? I just saw your friend from your club, why did you run away?" I asked him, I was puzzled why he suddenly run away when his friend saw us and was about to go our way. Wouldn't that be awkward for them when they see each other again at their club room? What was his name again? While I was trying to think of his friend's name, Mingyu's face looks sour. "Hmph! So what? He's with his friends he wouldn't mind it if we suddenly left!" He said while looking a bit irritated.

"Haah?" I asked him. I don't get it why he was angry. It was his friend, I know they get along well since I saw them hanging out and goofing around with his other club members. Did something happen between them? "Did you fight with your friend? You should go and make up with him, you are friends so I know you will work it out with him. What's his name again? I think his name is Xu M@#$p!" He covered my mouth with his big hand and I almost can't breathe because he also covered my nose! His big hand is so frightening it can suffocate me! I slapped his hand and shouted at him! "What the heck are you doing?! Are you trying to kill me!?"

"I just don't want you to say his name. Is there something wrong with that?" He looked at me straight in the eyes and his face serious. I was so shocked at how serious he was I subconsciously asked him: "Why? Is there any reason why you don't want me to say his name?" Augh! My stupid heart started beating fast again! I'm anticipating what his answer will be. He looked at my eyes and seriously said: "It's because… He has a very sharp hearing! He will be able to hear us call his name and will come to our place, and when that happens we're done for!" What the!? Is your friend a mythical creature where once you invoke his name he will suddenly appear?! I couldn't help but smack him at his arm since I can't reach his head! "What the heck are you talking about?! Well, whatever… What do you want to do next?" I looked around the area we're in while asking him what he wants to play next.

"Look noona, that looks like fun!" He pointed at the ring toss game while dragging me to it. We played and won prizes at the ring toss and since the place we are in has lots of game booths and food stalls we just eat and play all day. When it was about sunset, I just remembered my report that I need to finish and pass today. I turned around, waved goodbye to Mingyu and about to walk away when he held my hand preventing me from going. "What? I need to go, you know I need to finish my report and pass it to Mrs. Park right? Or have you forgotten that I have something important to do?" I tried to wiggle my hand free from his grip but he isn't budging! "Noona you don't need to do it. I already did it for you!" I stared at him dumbfounded. What is he talking about? How can he finish it when I'm from a different year and class from him?

"Don't believe me? I passed it for you earlier when I got us drinks I also went to the faculty room and gave it to Mrs. Park. Of course, I checked your work first before I gave it to her and your report was fine since Mrs. Park didn't say anything and even more, she smiled while holding your paper!" He said proudly and smiled at me as if waiting to be praised that he did well. I still looked at him in doubt, it could be that the reason Mrs. Park didn't make any comments and just smiled was that she was just busy ogling Mingyu and I bet this guy didn't even notice! I just sigh and hope that the report he gave Mrs. Park is good enough to pass.

"Well, since you already passed my report then I'll just go home then! See ya!" I waved goodbye to him and walked away from him while holding the bag of prizes that we won earlier. When suddenly, someone grabbed the collar of my uniform pulling me back! "Hey! What's the deal?! What are you doing to me!? Let go!" Does he even think I'm a girl?! He pulled my collar and dragged me like a doll!

"Nope, not possible! We are not done yet! There's a special event later tonight! Let's eat first, then head to the rooftop!" I can't see his face, but he sounds happy for some reason? Since I have no choice I just let him drag me somewhere. We ate at the udon shop near our school, and after eating our fill, we headed back to school and sneakily went up to the rooftop. "I don't know why we need to head to the rooftop! Aren't you afraid that a teacher might see us and get scolded!? What's the stupid event anyway?" I was really curious about what the event was since he hasn't provided any details. "Relax noona, just a little bit and it will start. I know you will love this that's why to see it better we can watch it at the rooftop!" He smiled at me and it made my heart go "Doki-Doki"! Stop it, stupid heart! I looked below and don't see anything different. When I was about to nag at him again about what the event was, suddenly there was a loud boom and I can see the multicolored fireworks that look like flowers blooming in the sky!

"Woah! So beautiful!" I could not help but exclaim! So this is the event that he was talking about! I looked at him and smiled, I like watching fireworks, it has that magical feeling and the ambiance is good for confessing. Wait… Should I try it? Well, in mangas and manhwas the FL will confess and then the ML will say that the feelings are mutual… Or it will end up in rejection… But, there is a chance that when I confess, the fireworks will make a loud "boom" sound and he won't be able to hear it! Yosh! I'll go with the wimpy type of confession! Confessing while not confessing at the same time! While waiting for the right timing… The fireworks shot up again, this is it! It's now or never!
