It has been 2 hours into the festival, there was music playing- people cheering and swimming in the beach. A lot of people at the ticket machine and lining up for the rides and games. Jungkook was proud with how things were turning out, he went to all the stores checking in to make sure everything was okay. 

Jungkook bumped into a few people he knew from his college and found out that the festival was going viral over social media. It made the male feel more confident about reaching their goal. He excused himself as he walked towards the edge of the grounds where the grass met the sand. 

He placed his hand in his pocket to grab out his phone when he felt it vibrate. 

Sarah: Hey handsome I know you have been missing me and so I thought I would come to the festival your holding 

Sarah: be there in 10 kisses xx

Jungkook sighed and clicked on her profile and jogged up to the security guards. 

"If you see her, dont let her enter- I dont care if she does have a ticket, she wont be coming in" Jungkook said showing the guards a picture of Sarah. They all nodded. The male sighed and walked towards Taehyung who was playing one of the games at the stall. 

A smile reached Jungkook's lips as he saw Taehyung jump up and down when he won and got handed cotton candy. He saw Jimin standing next to him with his arm wrapped around the male's shoulder as they both jumped in excitement. 

He was glad Taehyung was having fun, that the male was enjoying his time with the people around him and that he did not feel scared. That was all Jungkook ever wanted. 

"Aye Kook" Jungkook heard someone say from behind him, he turned to see Taehyung's dad with his mother. 

"Mr.Kim how are you" Jungkook smiled extending his hand for the older male to shake, he smiled when he gripped his hand and looked around the place. 

"You and Taehyung did so well, it looks amazing" He said 

"Mum helped as well" Jungkook said looking at his mother who smiled. 

"Oh mum your stand of products sold out already this is our fourth time sticking the shelves" Jungkook said 

"Are you charging full price?" Mr. Kim asked causing Jungkook to nod.

"Very clever marketing" He nodded 

"Where is Taehyung?" 

"He is with Jimin playing a few of the games" Jungkook replied

"I am so glad he is having fun" Mr. Kim replied with a small smile. 

"Oh Kook, I bumped into one of your teachers today when I was at the mall and he told me that he looked into how much the counselling stuff for the school is going to be and he said its changed and its higher"

"Shit" Jungkook groaned "How much are we talking?"

"How much councillors were you thinking?" She asked

"Around 5" He said

"Its gonna be around 32,000" She replied watching her sons reaction to see him tilt his head down. He nodded and smiled at his mother and Mr. Kim. 

"I should get back to work, please enjoy your night- when you go to eat show them these rainbow cards and you wont have to pay for the food" Jungkook said handing them both the cards before rushing off. 

Taehyung sighed as he took off his shoes, feet touching the sand. He walked to a less crowded area and sat down. Listening to the waves crash against the ground was one of his favourite things. "There's my partner in crime" He heard from behind him causing him to turn his head to see a happy Jungkook walking towards him. 

"You found me" Taehyung replied smiling as the male sat next to him. 

"Its going so well" Taehyung said looking at the ocean "A lot better than I expected" 

Jungkook agreed, looking at Taehyung before saying "So the price for the counsellors has gone up" That sentence made Taehyung turn his head towards him. 

"How much?" 

"Around 32,000" Jungkook replied feeling the same way when he heard Taehyung sigh. 

"Lets not think about how much we could get, lets figure that out later" replied Taehyung 

"Of course" Jungkook said



The festival had just end and Jungkook kinda felt relieved, he felt so tired- his feet were so sore. Taehyung felt the same way. The fireworks and mini concert was a blast and a lot of people had fun during this time. The kissing booth was a huge hit and the boys seemed to love it. Jack felt so happy and was very giddy as he got some girls numbers. 

Jungkook went to all the stalls and grabbed the money that they had raised while Taehyung went to the ticket machines to gather the money. "You got it all?" Jungkook asked Taehyung who nodded and grabbed their things. Everyone had left except the security who stay there for longer. 

Jungkook put all the money into a suit case and let Taehyung put the stuff in his bag in before they both hopped into the car. 

"It sounds like your dad had an amazing time" Jungkook said turning around to Taehyung who smiled

"Yeah your mother was saying, Im happy to hear they both had fun" Taehyung said watching Jungkook drive. 

They got to Jungkook's house very quickly and both walked inside, Jungkook placed the bag of money on his couch. They both were finding it hard to keep their eyes open. Taehyung laid on the couch closing his eyes. 



The next day came by so quickly, Jungkook and Taehyung had just walked into the bank will their bag of money. They were by the counter waiting for the lady to finish figuring out how much money they got. 

"Would you like to know now or for me to write a cheque and put it in a envelope?" The lady asked

"Envelope please" Taehyung said suddenly feeling really nervous. 

A few minutes went by and they finally got the envelope. They both thanked the lady before walking out the bank and into Jungkook's car. "Where should we open this?" Jungkook asked Taehyung who was biting his nails, feeling nervous. 

"Lets go to yours" Taehyung replied. 

Just like that they were at Jungkook's, sitting on his bed. Taehyung watched as he opened the envelope and pull out the cheque. His eyes looked at the cheque when they both looked at the number. 

They both gasped as they locked eyes. 

85,000

"Oh my gosh" Taehyung said 

Jungkook could not believe the number they were seeing, they both thought they would get so far below this. They would be able to afford to pay for the counsellor and could get funding for something else. 

"We did it" Jungkook said smiling at his friend who was still in shock

"We did it" Taehyung whispered.
