LOVE SICK : The Chaotic Lives of Blue Shorts Guys

Chapter 23 : GREATEST DAY

Finally, the soccer tournament has arrived. You think that all those practices were tiring? The real day was even worse. I didn’t get to sleep last night since I was so busy with the uniforms,taking care of the instruments and a bunch of other things. I took a nap around 2 in the morning,but then Om kicked me and woke me up at exactly 2:25 am because there was a problem with a horn.

What in the holy hell? I fixed this piece of crap just the other day. Maybe it is time to buy a new one.

Basically, I’ve only had 25 minutes worth of sleep before I needed to drag my exhausted and barely

functioning body to Suphachalasai Stadium, even before the roosters are awake.

The morning sun was shining at us with no mercy,several of the underclassmen marching band

members had fainted. I had to rush and grab the first aid kit that we fortunately brought along with

us. So I ended up holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and the first aid kit in the other. Nevertheless, I constantly needed to fix some of the instruments that broke down. Occasionally, when we were in

dire need of something, I had to ask some of the underclassmen who were free to run to Siam and

buy them. It has been a chaotic day so far.  “Yo! Don’t faint! Don’t faint!” Here we go again. I quickly turn and catch nong Ae, the clarinet player,

whose face is completely void of any blood. I grab a wet towel and dab his pale face. Not only I need to make sure these guys stay alive, I also need to keep an ear out and reply to the messages from the walkie-talkie every now and then. I’m getting

pretty dizzy myself.

“Bank to Noh. Is the band ready?” I flinch when I hear my name from the headphones. I hastily reply back.

“Noh replying to Bank. We’re ready.”

“Then please get into position.” Here goes nothing.

Fighting. I pat the band members on the back to get their attention so they would get up before I try to reach Film via the walkie-talkie. He seems to have disappeared on us.

“Noh to Film. Please get into your position. I’m about to send the band over.” “Film replying to Noh. Yes. I am on my way.” I bet he was checking out the girls here. I shake my head before I walk over to lead the underclassmen to where they’re supposed to be. But then, I hear

a voice calling out my name from the walkie-talkie. “Earn to Noh. Don’t forget that we made plans,okay?” Eh, this bastard. Where the heck did he

come from? I stare at the walkie-talkie with a puzzled look before I reply.“Noh replying to Earn. Yeah, just lemme finish up first.”

The walkie-talkie goes silent momentarily before somebody else says something. “Please don’t play

around with the walkie-talkie.” I couldn’t help but let out a laughter. The underclassmen nearby turn

to look at me with confusion in their faces.

Heh, that was Phun’s voice.

The marching band begins to walk into the stadium, which means that my job here is done and I no longer need to stick around (because Film

and Om are already taking care of the rest). My new job, however, is rushing to the area under the stands and check the monitors to see whether everything is going smoothly or not and report to Film.
