Chapter 36: When Everything Comes Crashing Down

As the days turned to weeks and then turned to months, it was very much noticeable that Eunwoo and Seolhyun have become clingy to me and Wonho. Both were asking for something like to do this stuff or go to this place which was in fact, separating us from each other. We didn't want to think that they have bad intentions (except for Eunwoo) I mean they are our friends but, it's become a bit worrying because it's working.

We started to have less time for each other. Yes, the school and café are still the places where we could always meet each other but other than those two, the list is getting shorter and shorter.

Eunwoo would ask me to accompany him when he has errands since he doesn't know Seoul that much yet while Seolhyun would ask Wonho to visit their bakery; he ends up helping her father, being the gentleman he was. Our friends were becoming suspicious too but, Jihyun and Myungsoo's continued disappearances in the afternoon is becoming obvious to our friends as well.

Multiple times, they would ask where they would go and the usual answers are:

"To the bookstore of course." said Jihyun.

"Dad's office. He needs help and frankly, I am enjoying it." said Myungsoo.

Sometimes, we would catch them talking to each other while holding a small notebook, some papers and their phones open with a picture on the screen. They would immediately keep them once we're beside them and will say it's for a book review.

"Aish, my twin is becoming more and more like a nerd." said Woohyun.

"Why should you care, soccer boy!" Jihyun retorted back.

There may be suspicions but, we didn't let them get in the way of our friendship and of course, the club's activities.

The school festival was nearing and once again, all the classrooms would be turned into booths. Our class chose to turn our classroom into a 'karaoke café' where anyone would be free to sing to their heart's content while snacks and drinks could be served. Once again, like last year, my brother was approached to ask for his help in doing the menu.

And, just like last year, ALL CLUBS are required to join the Battle of the Bands. We all decided to sing FT Island's "I Wish".

The Music Club made a request to help them advertise the Battle of the Bands which they would be sponsoring during the school festival. We planned and decided to go all out with the advertising: we would make posters, flyers and post it on our website, encouraging everyone to attend. All the other clubs helped as well and did the same things as we did. Since they are the sponsors, the Music Club won't be joining the Battle of the Bands. The Student Council too wouldn't be joining since they plan to focus entirely on making the festival will be a success.

21ST REQUEST COMPLETE!

Like last year, we have the problem of where to get our instruments. The Music Room's instruments (the one Jongin paid for since he destroyed the old ones) were already borrowed by another club so we had to look else where. Thinking of borrowing again from Principal Park would be too much.

It was Jinwoon oppa, one of my brother's friends who helped by lending his band's instruments to us. With that problem taken care of, we can now practice! Everyday, after school, we would practice at our clubroom. Jooheon and the others said they would support us once again with huge banners just like last year. Saeron, MJ and their friends said they would do the same thing too!

To make sure that the clubs won't be sabotaged again like last year, the student council ordered that no instruments would be left in the school the day before the festival starts.
