"Why do they call it a crush? Because that's how you feel when they don't feel the same way in return. And I don't know why I am still hoping..."

The first day of the school festival finally started. Saint had been extremely busy since the morning opening. He had to attend every event for speeches, sign attendance at each booth, and run errands assigned by teachers. His fellow council members, including Orn, were on the front line managing tickets and welcoming guests. Saint checked in with them from time to time to ensure everything was running smoothly.
After a busy day, Saint finally had a chance to rest at 6 PM in their council's office, knowing that there would be a fireworks display in an hour. He decided to take a nap during his break, with Seng, his closest classmate, keeping him company. Seng, fully absorbed in playing a mobile game, lost track of time. With only five minutes left until the fireworks display was set to start, Seng was panicked when he realized. He abruptly woke up Saint, who had been peacefully napping, causing Saint to jump in surprise.
"Wake up, wake up! We gotta hurry! The fireworks are about to start!" Seng exclaimed in panic.
Saint checked his phone and found tons of messages and missed calls from teachers and council officers, mostly looking for him. He and Seng quickly ran to the school grounds, but as they were going downstairs, Saint lost his balance and tripped over a step. Unfortunately, he ended up with bruises and grazes on his knees and left elbow.
"Shit, man! We need to get you to the clinic," Seng said, helping him stand.
"But we don't have time—"
"It's fine. I'll just tell them you got hurt. Come on, get up," Seng insisted, urging Saint to move.
They went to the clinic, and Seng left Saint there to inform the council members that Saint was injured and they could start without him. He assured them that Saint would join them shortly after receiving treatment.
"How did our President get hurt on such an important day?" the nurse sighed as she patched up his bruises.
Saint couldn't utter a word and just kept sighing in disappointment, feeling let down by himself for being clumsy.

Meanwhile, Zee and his friends arrived at Thai High just before the fireworks display started. The area was bustling with people, and Zee even recognized some from his university. They strolled around, looking for a good spot to watch the fireworks display.
