It was a celebration day at their school as a gratitude towards the student council and teachers. Each classes were assigned with a country since they wanted to represent for all the teachers around the world. 

Hyunjin's class got Japan which he was quite excited about. He was learning a new course about Japanese and could speak a little bit unlike Seungmin who could speak fluently. Seungmin learned Japanese since he was young as a second language because he enjoyed learning obviously.

They finished preparing all the props and decorations. They just need to hang them up. 

Hyunjin's POV

"Minnie, you didn't tell him about what we heard that day right?" I asked while fixing the lights.

"No, I didn't. But I did tell my boyfriend and Changbin. I think Changbin might tell his boyfriend. I don't know," He replied while making garlands of cherry flowers. I think it is a pretty nice flower. We were talking about other things in general when Felix came over.

"What can I help?" Felix asked.

"Lix, you can help Seungmin. He is having some trouble with the strings there," I said.

"Okie!" He sat down and started to help Seungmin untangling the strings. I looked around the classroom to see Chan, Changbin and Jeongin trying to fix the tree that we made. I saw Jisung and Minho in the corner painting the flags onto the paper. They were having a lot of fun. I don't want to ruin the fun by telling Minho suddenly about it.

I think I have to wait. "Jinnie, can you hang these on the whiteboard please?" Minnie asked from below since I am on a ladder. "Okay!"

I carefully stepped down and took the garlands to hang on the whiteboard just to realise that I couldn't reach it. (Let's make Hyunjin shorter than Minho in this story) 

I was standing on my tippy-toes when Minho suddenly came over and helped me stick the garlands to the white board. We were so close that I could feel his breath on my ear. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Seems like you're having trouble. So I came to help," Minho offered.

"It's fine. You can help Jisung instead. I will just ask Jeongin for help if I can't reach (which I clearly can't)," I replied. I could see dissatisfaction on Minho's face. 

"We are almost done anyways. Just let me help you, Jinnie," he said. WOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE CALLED ME BY MY NICKNAME. AND IT IS MY MOST FAVORITE ONE. OMG.  I was stunned to be honest by I still continue telling him on where to put the garlands. 

After a few moments we were done. All we left to do was hang the lights. "I will hang them on top. If you could hold the ladder a bit will you?" I said. He nodded and hold the ladder while I climbed on it. I was scared of heights (the opposite in real life but whatever for the story)  so this was a problem and it's not helping either that Minho is the one who was holding the ladder and looking at me.

The steps I took were wobbly but I still tried to carry on. After I finished the first batch, I turned to grab the second one and that's when I slipped. I shouted and waited for the impact but it didn't come. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Minho looking at me. WAIT A MINUTE! DID HE JUST CATCH ME!? I tried to get down frantically calming down my frantic heart.

"Sorry and thank you!" After I said that, I practically run out of the run with Seungmin behind me. "Jinnie, wait!"

I stopped and caught my breath. Well this was going to be a long day.
