the whole cafeteria was loud as students were setting out trays of korean hot dogs, kimbap, and cups of tteokbokki on the tables all around. yerim herself was holding a box of tablecloths and set it down, taking one out.

"saeron, where's the centerpiece?" she yelled across the room for her best friend to hear.

"it's in the boxes to your right, on the table with the streamers!"

yerim was proud to see how well the centerpieces came out. it had been her first time designing anything like this but she was happy to finally check this off her bucket list. following the high school musical theme, the base was a gold foil cone with some white led lights sticking up in the middle. it was supposed to follow the iconic lettering of the franchise and you could see the idea really well.

"yerim, we have the drinks here," saeron brings the tray of iced tea to the table her friend is at.

"great, we can them organize here," and both girls start to spread the plastic cups on the surface. "the announcement is gonna be on in 5 minutes but i think we're all ready."

"i think so too," the production head looks around and sees all the tables filled with delicious food. "i'm so nervous..."

"you have no reason to be," saeron holds her hands. "the seniors had a lot of faith and you proved you deserve this position, even if you're the youngest. and there were a lot of people excited about this so i guarantee it's all going to sell out."

and she really had no reason to worry. from the moment the pa system said the announcement, the whole room was filled with students choosing what food they wanted and there were theater members going out with empty trays and coming back with full ones.

"thank you so much for your support!" yerim calls to a student who had purchased a roll of kimbap. so far, they had made almost enough to cover the cost of the musical but she was confident they would have extra this year.

"coming through!" saeron makes her way with a tray of ice cream cups, weaving in and out of the crowd. setting it down, she turns to her best friend and gives a bright smile. "yerim, you won't believe how much is being sold! it's amazing!"

the girl just laughs and turns her attention to the students standing in line.

"hi, were you able to find what you like?" but when she looks up, her heart starts racing like it did every time she saw jaehyun. there he was, holding a juice box and hot dog and holding eye contact with her. but before she could continue to stare, yerim snaps her mind back into focus.

"yep," jaehyun hands her money. "i heard the show this year is high school musical."

"yes," yerim awkwardly takes it and tries to hide her blushing face by looking down and focussing on counting the change.

"so i'm guessing this whole event is to help with that?" jaehyun keeps asking.

"yes" the freshmen hands the money to the other. "thank you so much for your support!"

jaehyun smiles and then walks away, leaving yerim sitting down in her chair and sulking a bit.

"wow, you're really hopeless," jungkook approaches the girl with a cup of noodles. "that whole thing was just pitiful to watch."

"shut up, you know how shy i get," yerim takes the money from her friend's hand and gives the change. "did he get the letter?"

"of course he did. but yerm, why are your hints so specific? isn't the whole point of being a secret admirer to be discreet?"

"they're not very specific. i'm a freshmen, musical theater department, brother is on the same team as him, and strawberry milk. that's all kinda vague to me."

"only three guys on the basketball team have younger sisters," jungkook points out.

"jaehyun doesn't know my surname, hence, it's hard for him to guess."

"you mentioned the ring on the middle finger."

"it's a group ring i got with the production crew. that's 7 people."

"your cheeks get really red when getting shy or embarrassed?" the senior raises an eyebrow.

"has he interacted with me long enough to see that happen?"

jungkook had to admit the girl was right. currently, jaehyun couldn't know who she is, even using the hints because as specific as they seemed, they were confusing.

"anyways, can you move out the way, i have customers behind you," yerim points to the line of people behind her friend, who sheepishly moves away and starts to walk towards the door.

"fine, i'm going! bye yerimmie!"
