School festival. To many it would be an exciting event because it was like a symbol of youth. Everyone could only get one of their first school festival. A fresh feeling but for Jisung, he didn't quite like it. The place itself was noisy and crowded which he didn't like. Despite being the loud person he was, he didn't like crowdy place.  So, to say that he hated the school festival was an understatement but he didn't want to ruin his friends' happy day.

Right...just smile and act like you're having fun. Jisung hypnotized himself as he stood in front of the mirror, checking out his own outfit. His eyes went to the blue jacket he wore a few days ago and sulked. He picked it up and threw it somewhere in the room. "It's not that tacky! I got it from a thrift store!", He said to his reflection in the mirror. He sat on his bed , still staring at his reflection as he groaned loudly.  "This suck!!!"

Pursuing Na-Eun seemed impossible at this point. "Why must he go after her too?", Jisung mumbled, hugging his legs.

"Han Jisung?! Are you not going to the festival?", Jisung snapped his head to the door and pouted. He really hated going to the festival. If he could, he would already scream, "I'm not! You go by yourself!"

—click!

"You finally open up", but how can he say that when Felix gave him this kind of smile? A smile which seemed like it could brighten up anyone's day but disappear the moment you say no. He didn't want that look to be replaced with Felix cocking his eyebrows upward with a disappointed look. "Sorry, I was choosing an outfit to wear"

Felix nodded, studying Jisung up and down. "You look different"

"How so?", Jisung looked at himself but found nothing out of place.  Felix tapped his chin, looking at the ceiling to find a word to put his thought into. "maybe because I always see you wearing your jersey? That's probably it", Jisung nodded, agreeing. "Should we go now? I called Seungmin to pick us up! He's bringing Jeongin!"

Jisung raised his eyebrows. "Jeongin? What about his leg?", Felix clicked his tongue, waving his index finger. "How can he not come to the festival? Even if he's sick he can still enjoy himself, no?"

"Plus, how sad would it be if your friend is out at the festival but you're sitting alone, eating some hospital food while having your leg casted?", Felix stressed every words he said to emphasize just how much of a suffer it would be had they left Jeongin. When Felix's face came closer to Jisung, Jisung pushed him away. "Alright...I understand. It's a torture for him"

Felix smiled, satisfied before he grabbed Jisung's hand, dragging him out of the dorm.

The swimming team had prepared a simple game and a good stall. It wasn't anything special but thanks to some of the members  who can cook and knew how to smooth talk the ladies, they became the attention.

"Why do I have to do it?!", Hyunjin raised his hands to prevent his seniors and friends from holding him. He knitted his eyebrows and rolled his lips upward, terror in his eyes when he saw the special seat made for him inside a big glass. "We will pay you a lot, Hyunjin-ah!" Hyunjin shook his head frantically.

"You just have to sit in there silently!", Hyunjin still disagreed. He pointed at the glass. "You leave out the part where I'm going to fall into the water if someone hit the bullseye!"

"And?! Why did you guys even choose this game?!", Hyunjin asked in disbelief. Someone pointed out that they were the swimming team and this game was related with water...that was the origin of the idea. "Bullshit!"

Chan sighed, patting Hyunjin's shoulder. "Guys! Don't force him! We could just give it to Kevin!", Kevin snapped his head to Chan and placed an X over his chest with his hands. "But that isn't right, Chan! We need the ace of the team!"

Chan shook his head, "that's fine. Hyunjin can just admit defeat here... I'm sure Kevin will do better than him. I don't think he love water that much. Kevin is not a loser so-", Hyunjin narrowed his eyes and flailed his hand away from Chan. "I get it! I get it! I will do it!"

Hyunjin slapped his phone into Chan's hand before he climbed into the glass, mumbling "who's the loser now?" Sitting with the seniors, Kevin sigh in relief. He was grateful he wasn't the ace for once. He could only eat his rice cake in silence and enjoy the moment Hyunjin fall into the water.

"Na-Eun!", Kevin looked up from his cup and saw the woman who was always around Hyunjin and huffed, not amused. "She's not even that cute"

He wanted to mess around with Na-Eun just to irritate Hyunjin but he gave up on that plan. That woman didn't seem entertaining at all. "She's way too dense. Too dense for me", he mumbled.

"Who is?", He looked up, Minho giving him an eye. He raised both of his hands. "I did nothing. I breathed", he said before picking his things, leaving the area before bumping into Na-Eun who fell on the ground. "Ouch!", Hyunjin immediately climbed out of the glass and ran to her. "Are you fine?" Kevin stared at Na-Eun and Hyunjin before scoffing. "How stupid" he said , walking away.

Na-Eun stood up, pouting as she glared at Kevin. "Jerk", she said, turning around to face the panicked Hyunjin. She smiled brightly. "I'm fine!"

"But what are you doing?", Hyunjin looked back at the glass and smiled shyly. "Do you want to play?"

"Waaah!! The festival!!! My youth!!", Felix ran forward, startling a few students who then laughed at him. Everybody seemed to agree with him. "He's so enthusiastic. I'm jealous. I'm jealous", Jeongin sulked in his wheelchair. Jisung chuckled, shoving his hands into his pocket. "who told you to play too soon? Had you been patient, you wouldn't have fall and you would be able to play freely right now"

Jeongin had his lower lips forward as he pouted. "Don't even remind me about it! I'm so sad right now!", Seungmin shook his head at Jeongin. "So, what? Am I not accompanying you right now? Where do you want to go? We will go to every booth"

"Seungminnieeee!!!", Jeongin's eyes twinkled at the sight of Seungmin as if he was an enjoy. "Your friend here is touched. I'm touched. Seungmin best boy!"

"I want to go to the weightlifting booth...I heard the male weightlifter walk around wearing maid outfit. I want to laugh", Seungmin nodded, he looked at Jisung. "Do you want to go? Or would you be fine by yourself?"

Jisung nodded his head, "you guys go ahead. I will find Felix first. That idiot got too excited, he's probably lost somewhere", Seungmin nodded and pushed Jeongin forward, walking towards the weightlifting maid stall.

Jisung sighed, he looked around for Felix but that idiot had went far away. He tried calling Felix but Felix must had ignored his phone and went astray somewhere. "This guy..."

"Do you want to play?", Jisung turned around when he heard the familiar voice. Hyunjin? His eyes met Hyunjin's who immediately looked away and smiled at Na-Eun again.

Jisung made his way to them. "I want to play.", Hyunjin's eyebrow twitched, the corner of his lips trembling. "But I ask Na-eun-"

"It's alright if I go first, right Na-Eun?", The girl nodded and handed a basket of ball to Jisung. Chan dragged Hyunjin back into the glass before he could complain. "I'm paying", Jisung stated, giving the money to Chan.

"Wait! Wait! This isn't fair. He's a basketball player! He's good at aiming- ah!", Hyunjin yelled when the ball missed the bullseye. Jisung looked at the ball in his eyes. "It's lighter than I expected it to be...", He mumbled before aiming at the bullseye again but this time he didn't just miss, he threw the ball at Hyunjin. "Han Jisung!"

" I missed. Oops", Jisung stuck his tongue out before aiming the last ball to the center.

— splash!

Jisung smiled in victory when he saw Hyunjin walking out of the glass soaked with water. "Pft", he turned his head to see Na-Eun laughing. Jisung's eyes softened.

"Han Jisung you-", Jisung's phone rang. He look at the ID— Haengbok yongbok but before he could answer the phone call, it ended. He tried calling back but Felix weren't answering. Jisung was anxious. Did anything happened to him?

He dismissed himself and apologized to Na-Eun for leaving. "Lee Felix! Where are you?" , He yelled while trying to call his friend.
