August 15, 2025 was the night before a special day, as you're walking along the school halls, you're welcomed to see our students  crying in exhaustion and laughing in madness. Breaking their bones to bless the new memories that might happen in their bland classrooms. Atleast, that's just how it runs along here every year. 

Walking while carrying a box of used decorations, while looking at some kids your age trying on cute outfits, and figuring out how to open your classroom door with the help of the box.

Suddenly, the door in front of you slammed wide. You face up to gaze at a tall funny looking man. 

"Oh! Hey sujin! Do we need anymore supplies? I'm going out to pick up a delivery order for our class. " Said a tall funny looking man gazing deep into your soul.

"MinHo, you're such a heart attack" You pass through him letting out a sigh

He chuckles "I'll excuse myself first then, call me if we do need anything" he casually exits her sight

"Mhm, I will" You spoke at a volume

You set the boxes down and sit on the cold wooden floor, pulling out hoards of paper origami then making origami stars one by one. Enjoying the noisy scenery with tumbling bits of gossips sliding in your ear.

"Haruka! You're pulling the cloth to hard! It'll rip" A silky blue haired girl screamed while dangerously tip toeing on a ladder. "Hey don't you open the door yet! There's a ladder in front of you! I can't die yet!" She continued

"Sorry.. It's past my bedtime, I must be starting to doze off" Haruka replied on another ladder resisting to fall backwards by holding the cloth tight. "Why did we need to cover the windows anyway!" She cries holding her balance together.

"Class president" A young girl appears beside you, all frail and fancily dressed. Plopping to sit next to you.

"Hm?"

"What about we use the money we earn from this festival to go karaoke later?" She puts her tiny warm hands on your arms

"Didn't the whole class agree on using the cash to take a trip to Jeju island?" You pushed her away  "Even if it'll take years, Using it on something more memorable might be better. Don't you think?" 

"Mmmmmmmm" Anya hummed "that's what MinHo wants, and you never say no to him!" huffs and looks aside

"Whats wrong with that? Everyone's all happy with the decision" You pinch her cheeks as she squeals "Don't be so greedy Anya, life doesn't always go your way" You shake her head up and down.

"Nghhhh, I get it- I get it, you can stop now!" Anya fights back with her fullest strength"I'm so not letting you kill me....", causing your face to get kicked in her pink high heels.

...

"I'll call MinHo to buy some ointment" She gets up and runs away, kicking a few stars 100 meters under the tables. She turns back, winking "Hehhehe, sorry president.. I'll make it up to you"

"I'll break all your pencils apart" you stare at that entity running away

Lifting up your hand slowly to carefully touch where you've been injured has turned out to sting the spot under your eye. You felt a small bump slowly forming under your eye. This one's definitely going to last a while

You watched as another woman took the fallen items on the floor. 

The silky blue haired girl handed me over the scattered stars and knelt down towards me to throw them in a plastic bag you had had.

"Anya must've gotten you good" She speaks

"She's such a psychopath, I swear to god" 

"It's a good thing she doesn't blong in our circle, but she's certainly getting close to Haruka"

"Don't worry Xiaoting, as long as we're sane, nothing bad will happen yet"

They both chuckled loudly as they're huddled close counting the amount of stars, I've made. 

"Oh yeah" Xiaoting continued. "Are you going to spend the night here? We've still got a lot to finish before the festival starts" She says as she hands over the plastic bag to me. 

"I think I'm forced to stay over anyway, I won't be alone, don't worry. Haruka and Anya will be there too" You get up to stand "Hmn, I probably made about 100 stars, is that enough?" 

"I think so, I'll scatter them around the floor once we're done. I might be able to stay as well, if my cousin agrees to accompany me home. After all, MinHo will be around, what's there to worry about." She follows

"Whatever, I guess I need to start thinking what's for dinner" You giggle

In the distance, you can hear mild shouting, coming from no one else than Anya

"Hey Anya! Are you calling MinHo? We need more black cloth and a bunch of glitter, just hand me the phone, I'll talk to him" Xiaoting yells towards the girl

"Don't ask him to buy too much, MinHo isn't rich you know!" You smiled

Everyone in this classroom is crazy for MinHo, but I'm glad he's only crazy towards Suji. After all, you promised you'd stay if I played your stupid game. 

Atleast, that's what I think.
