The Moon and his lover (a forthbeam fanfiction)

Earth part 3

Hello, still there?

On with the story.

Be sure to read the notes at the end.

General Pov.

"Before we start let's make a round of applause for our dear and brave contestants."

Willingly the crowd cheered, catcalls could be heard, the anticipation was palpable.

When the noise died down, the male presenter started:

"This year Star first runner up is...Natedaojit Umnhoy, the Star of the science faculty. Let's applaud her for her."

The crowd cheered, the loudest cheering was from the students of the science faculty. Nate smiled coquettishly while the previous Star runner up put the scarf around her shoulder and congratulated her.

After the clapping died down, the speaker went on:

"And now, the moment we are all waiting for...this year Star campus winner is...Jayjay Wijittan, the Star of the medical faculty."

Aim accepted her scarf from the previous Star campus from the Science faculty, waving at her fans from medical who were making most of the noise.
Beam clapped, glad for his faculty and Aim.

'At least if I lost, they won't be too mad at me.'

The female speaker tried to calm the delirious medical student but it was fruitless.

Yihwa, who was supervising from the backstage, stepped on the stage and walked towards the speakers who were unable to stop the commotion.
She took the mic from the female speaker:

"I don't like to repeat myself so listen carefully. If there is not the utmost silence in the following minutes. I will consider cancelling the event and there will be no more Moon and Star." She threatened with a stern expression on her face.

A deafening silence fell on the auditorium, satisfied with the result, Yihwa gave the mic back to the emcee before exiting the stage.

Trying to go over the awkwardness of the situation, the female emcee cleared a throat before she brought the mic close to her mouth and she smiled at the silent crowd.

"I am sure you are all excited about our next winner." Not expecting any answer, she went on. "This year Moon first runner up is...Mingkwan Daichapanya, from the Moon of engineering."

The engineering students went wild but the Yihwa's warning was still fresh in their mind so they quieted down. The ones who weren't joining the cheering of their junior were Max and Park who were busy shooting daggers at a very proud with himself Pha. The latter was smirking and clapping for the best friend of his boyfriend while ignoring his cousin and brother. Yo, who was standing in the backstage next to Tul, couldn't help but giggle when he witnessed the rivalry between the siblings. Tul was staring in disbelief at his boyfriend's childishness.

'I am glad my family is not like this. It would have been a nightmare otherwise.' Yo thought distractedly.

Forth, who was on the stage, was boiling inside knowing how ecstatic Pha was.

'Earn better when he will be a freshman!' He thought bitterly while smiling thinly at a blissful Ming.

While on stage, Ming was accepting his scarf with a charming smile, going as far as winking at a blushing Kit who mysteriously ended up on the front row. Kit tried to glare but it was lacking the heat it used to have. So he decided to do what he did best, ignoring his fast beating heart and pretending nothing major is happening between Ming and him.
