Someone Like You

"Hey, you cheated!" I laughed. He looked at me with those slightly squinted eyes.

"I did not..." He chuckled, covering half of his face with his fist curled, placing it just to cover his mouth from laughing too much.

Kim Mingyu and I have been close friends ever since middle school. We've been classmates ever since then. Our classmates always tease us. Not with each other, but with our opposite height. Mingyu is usually the tallest in our class and I'm always the shortest.

"Check mate!" I smiled. He pretended like he was shocked and then he just laughed.

"Hey Mingyu, the school festival is already next week, right?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm gonna eat lots of  Okonomiyaki from the Japanese booth!" He chuckled.

"I'm also going to eat lots of candy apple!" I replied.

"Hey..." He added. But before we could even continue with our conversation, the bell rang.

"See ya later." I tapped his shoulder and he just smiled lightly as we head back to our classroom.

"Alright! So the class is already divided into two. First group are for the props making and the second group will be for the maids and butler." Our professor spoke.

He made us spend the whole afternoon discussing individual duties and the things needed for our maid/butler cafe booth.

Someone tapped my shoulder and whispered behind me. "Hey, Ms. props committee!" As I turned around, he was already smiling at me, his cute fangs were showing.

"Right back at you, Mr. Butler!" I replied with a smile as well.

"You guys must be preparing something awesome for us, eh?" He nudged me lightly with his elbow.

I placed my finger on my lips. "Ssh! It's a secret. Just wait and see" Acting cutely, I just smiled and looked down. I continued making a list for the things needed. He chuckled again and went to his group.

A week full of preparation passed and it's already the first day of the school festival.

"Hang those please and tie them tightly. Everything has to be durable for the whole 3 days of the school festival. Thank you!" I sighed. It's still a few hours before the opening of the school festival begins and I'm already half-stressed.

I also checked all the props as I went inside our classroom. Everything seems to be in place and well taken care of by our other classmates.

Our maid/butler cafe is just like a cafe with elegant designs made out of recyclable materials. There were elegant tables and chairs with drapes falling behind every table and chair set to separate them.  The butlers and maids that are on duty for the first day are already getting dressed for the opening.

I stepped outside and checked the design at our entrance. I sighed again and decided to take a breather. I stopped at an open window and leaned my elbows on the window pane. I looked down and watched the students with smiles on their faces, preparing their food stalls at the school grounds just in front of our gate.

"Yo, how do I look?" Someone spoke behind me.

Surprised, I turned to where the person was speaking. My eyes widened as I saw a dashing butler before me. His hair was pulled back with a suave look. He had smokey-eye make up on which complemented his eyes. He was also wearing a black tuxedo with a black bow tie which really looked good on him.

"M-m-ming-?" I stuttered. I was shocked.

He just chuckled and shook his head. He went beside me, closer to where I was standing.
