Chapter 13: The Clash At The School Festival!

"How did this happen?! We left them all perfectly safe inside here last night!" said Jihyun.

"Someone's trying to sabotage us!" said I.M.

"We have to report this immediately to the Student Council. This is way out of our hands now." said Wonho.

I nodded in agreement. "Yes, let's go."

While on our way to the student council, Wonho placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, everything will be alright, okay?"

"Thanks Wonho. I just hope so."

I knocked on the door of the Student Council's office and it was opened by Namjoon.

"Oh, good morning! How can we help you?" he asked. "Where are my manners, please come inside."

Once we're all settled inside, the rest of the council came out to meet us.

"Is there something wrong?" asked Doojoon.

"Yes there is sunbae. When we arrived at our clubroom, we found all our band equipment, which came from the Music Room, destroyed!"

"What?! Did you lock your club room yesterday?!"

"Yes we did! We left at around 9PM last night. There were some students who left the school at the same time as we did. All of them saw me locked the doors of our club room."

"As in all your equipment were destroyed?" Mark asked.

"Yes hyung. Even the drums!" JinJin said and he began to cry!

"This is terrible! Someone wants to sabotage you guys! Doojoon, what are we going to do?" Sandara asked him.

"We have to make an announcement to the entire school in order to warn everyone. Let's also check their club room for any clues..."

Doojoon was interrupted when we heard someone knocked at their door; when it opened, it was Principal Park!

"Sir! What brings you here so early in the morning?"

"Well, I just like to check on your preparations for the school festival. Oh! The Help Club is here as well! Is there something wrong?"

Doojoon explained to him about our incident.

"WHAT?! Sabotage?! Who could be behind this?!"

"We don't know sir that's why we reported it to the student council." I told Principal Park.

"Because of this incident it's either you guys choose to withdraw from the battle of the bands or unless you find some new equipment, stay on." said Hyuna.

"The countless hours of practice would be all for nothing if we choose to withdraw." said Woohyun.

"Even though my throat's been hurting a little, I haven't complained because I enjoyed rapping." said Jooheon.

"But guys, where would we find a replacement then? It's too expensive if we buy or even rent them!" I said.

"I can help you with that." Principal Park suddenly said.

"You can sir?!" Wonho asked. "How?!"

"Well, I may not look like it but I am a music lover. I have several instruments at home that may help you. Of course, return them after the battle of the bands."

"For real sir?! You're going to lend them to us?!" I asked.

"Yes. Hahaha! Tell me what you need."
