It was getting a bit dark, and the students were milling around near the stage.
The winners were already announced for each year's level, and to Kazuha's delight, their section had won first place, thanks to the efforts of all her classmates who participated in the other events.
With that, the band was being set up and everyone was getting excited for them to perform.
Yuri, Yunjin and Chaewon were with her, and they were sitting around the field while waiting for the next phase of the sportsfest to begin. Yuri had given her a good scolding about what happened. Apparently, she had seen her run and found her just in time after Sakura left her alone. Both Yunjin and Chaewon decided not to hound her about it, much to her relief.
They bought some burgers and fries from the available food booths around and they were happily munching away as they waited in anticipation for the band.
"So, we get to go to the beach this weekend! I am so excited!" Chaewon exclaimed as her cheeks got bigger and bigger from all the fries she kept eating.
Yunjin laughed at her, "You're turning into a baby cheetah again."
"Yunjin, for the last time, I am not a baby cheetah!" she huffed in annoyance. All three girls laughed at her cuteness.
"Awwe you're so cute! Here, where's my baby cheetah? Come on, lemme kiss that baby cheetah! I wanna kiss my baby cheetah!" Yunjin teased, as she cupped Chaewon's face and kissed her several times on the cheek.
Chaewon playfully shoved her away.
"Noooo! Go away, Yunjin!"
Yunjin pouted, "Okay, bye."
Chaewon then threw a fry at her face and laughed as Yunjin pretended to be shocked.
"So this is how it is huh? Alright, you've asked for it, Chaewon-ah!"
Chaewon pointed a warning finger at her.
"No Yunjin! Don't you dare!"
Yunjin had a mischievous smile on her face as Chaewon backed away from her slowly.
"Here it comes!"
Chaewon screamed as Yunjin began to tickle her relentlessly. Chaewon shoved her again and ran away while Yunjin followed after her, taunting her with more tickles.
Kazuha just smiled at the both of them, amused. Yuri chuckled as she observed the two girls.
"They are really cute."
"Yes they are, in small doses." Kazuha told her.
"Oh come on, you love them both."
Kazuha shrugged.
"What can I say, they've grown on me, even with their annoying bickering."
Yuri laughed at this.
"I am sure you still find it cute when they do."
Kazuha just smiled.
"Nice jacket by the way." Yuri remarked without looking at her.
Kazuha blushed, she was still wearing Sakura's leather jacket from earlier.
"Y-yeah. I borrowed it...from a friend."
Just then, they heard some static, and when they both turned, the band had already begun to introduce themselves and were called Day6.
Afterwards, they began to play their first song.
Hyewon also arrived at the same time, grinning happily at Yuri.
