Knowing Ms. Know-it-all (TXT Taehyun X Female OC X Enhypen Jay)

Ch. 38: A Scare at the Festival

A week passes by, and the day for the music festival finally arrives.

It was definitely a busy morning for the school as everyone was getting ready to see their schoolmates off. The ones who have competitions to join, that is, as they would be heading to another school for the venue. Goodbyes and wishes of luck filled the air of the school ground as students surrounded the bus that would take the contestants, and among those students stood Heejin.

With a packed lunch box in her hands, she stands in the middle of the crowd, waiting impatiently as her brother seems to be taking his time to get to the bus.

"Hey. Is Heeseung-hyung not around yet?" Taehyun asks as he appears beside the girl.

Heejin turns to him in response, before she frowns and shakes her head. "Not yet. He went straight to the music room as soon as we arrived to school a while ago, but I haven't seen him since."

"Really? What about Geonu-hyung?" Taehyun continues to ask.

"They went to get the drum set," Jay soon interjects, joining the conversation as he appears in between Heejin and Taehyun. "Kai had some troubles with it apparently so Heeseung-hyung and Geonu-hyung went to go help him."

Heejin sighs in relief upon hearing him. It's almost evident that she's really bothered by something, and that definitely catches the attention of the two boys... But they barely even get to speak when they hear a high-pitched voice cutting through the crowd.

"Make way! Band equipment coming through!" Kai shouts from the other side of the crowd, soon naturally causing the crowd to part to, indeed, make way for him and his older schoolmates to get the drum set to the bus.

Heejin eventually finds Heeseung, reassuring her that her brother is still well and there. Though he probably doesn't look too comfortable carrying all that equipment with him. Geonu seems to be carrying just as much, too. And yet, the drummer himself is only carrying his drumsticks all in one hand as he proudly passes through the crowd.

Jay soon scolds him when the kid gets to where he stands along with Heejin and Taehyun. "What do you think you're doing making your hyungs do all your work for you?" he asks the boy, right after smacking him in the back of the head.

"Ah! Ow..." Kai whines after being hit, rubbing his head as he frowns at his schoolmate. "Well, they offered to help–"

"That doesn't mean you can abuse them?!" This time, Heejin smacks him in the shoulder, causing the boy to yelp again before he starts rubbing his shoulder instead. "And weren't you the one who asked for help? And isn't that your equipment??"

"Hey, that hurt..." Kai responds, only to yelp again when both Heejin and Jay raise their hand again to smack him. But they both stop short, especially when both Heeseung and Geonu finally reach them and Heeseung speaks up for Kai.

"Alright, you two. Leave Kai alone. It's true that Geonu and I offered to carry all of this," Heeseung tells them calmly. Jay rolls his eyes in response, and Heejin only frowns.

"Thank you!" Kai shouts, meanwhile, as if he had just been saved from a life-threatening situation. His eyes sparkle as he looks at Heeseung... but that doesn't last long because the older boy decides to continue.

"Yeah, after all, we all know you're too clumsy to carry anything safely onto the bus."

Kai's expression drops when Heeseung speaks those words, and at the same time, Geonu laughs loudly right behind Heeseung. "Ah, hyung!"

"What? You know it, too, though, don't you?" Heeseung asks playfully, summoning yet another frown on Kai's face.

Eventually, Jay would offer to take the equipment from Heeseung to load onto the bus. And Geonu and Kai would follow suit while Heeseung is left with Heejin and Taehyun.
