Heartbreak Boy~ Moonbae

This was it, today was the performance, all classes were canceled and you could basically do what you want until 2:00, the show usually lasted two or three hours and parents could come. Mrs. Kim's class likes to spend these days together, going out to eat, playing games, practicing, or just walking around. Making sure I was calm and stressfree. I broke off for an hour going to Sunwoo and Haknyeon but quickly left as I didn't like all the PDA. Next was Eric and Juyeon, we talked a bit but eventually, they forgot I was there. I searched for Hyunjae for a while, only to find out he wasn't even at school, he was with Hyunjoon because the younger fell ill yesterday. Then it was my last resort, bbangnyukyu. I walked around the school and checked the courtyard, that's where they were, having a picnic.

I joined with my class again seeing them head to the gym. Inside were multiple different groups, mine slipt in half, some going to join the basketball game and the rest sat on the bleachers and joked around. I sat next to Shuhua and watched the game.

Jacob. Jacob was playing and he just scored a point for his team, I guess he saw me looking because he mumbled something to his mate and walked towards me. My flustered ass looked away and quickly added to the heated argument about how Mr. Min and Mr. Park got married and not Mr. Min and Mr. Jung. I lived across the street from Yoongi and I can confirm that Jimin and him got engaged in the summer, but have yet to marry. Suddenly, I felt someone's head on my shoulder and someone playing with my fingers, I looked over at him.

"I hope you win, my class voted for Felix, says he gonna do a presentation on how to do Fortnite dances," he sighs, "and you've been stressed this whole time, it would be nice to see you take the prize"

I chuckled, resting my head on his, "I don't care about the prize, I have something else in mind that I want out of this show" he hummed a bit confused but let it be. We sat there for at least an hour, he still played with my fingers and I just looked at all the posters on the walls, most of them were for the graduating seniors on the different sports team for this year. Jacobs banner was up there twice, one for volleyball and one for basketball, I always forget about him graduating this year, him leaving for college and forgetting all about me. That's why I'm so determined to confess today, no matter how scared I was, and no matter if he was confessing to someone else.

I needed to.

'BLEEP' the loudspeaker broke me from my trance, "Hey, its Chanhee- Younghoon get off of me! Anyway, if you are competing in the talent show please make your way to the auditorium, the rest of you sluts can wait another hour, we'll call you to the show by year. That's all for to- Changmin stoooopp" With that, the announcements were over. Sometimes I wonder how Chanhee is even still in the club, he's even the head.

I sighed and waited for Jacob to get off, when he did I stood up and made my way to the exit, my class wishing me luck. I thanked them and was about to leave when I felt a tug on my arm, soon I was pulled in a hug that smelt like vanilla, "Go make Canada proud," I laughed and hugged Jacob back, before letting go and walking away.

I made my way backstage, thinking, 'I nail the performance... Jacob.... when do I go up... Jacob.... Mrs. Kim will be proud no matter what... the confession'

"Oh fuck" I forgot about the confession, my eyes widened, I can't do it.

I stood with the other kids as they crowded around a tall guy, he introduced himself, "Hi,-" he was cut off by a yell in the distance, "Hello, Yuta in the house!!" After that the other guy continued, "And I'm Johnny, I'm the head of the film and production club, I have the placement list. Umm..." he continued to list names and the time they would so on stage if I remember correctly he's Ten's boyfriend. Lived in Chicago before moving here, pretty cool dude if you ask me. "Kevin Moon, you're last after Felix. Good luck y'all if anyone has questions all you have to do is ask." He smiled and walked away.

Great, more time to think about everything.

Time went by as I practiced and soon the rest of the school was already in their seats, chatting and waiting for the show to begin. I tried to calm my nerves by thinking about home in Canada and home here in Korea.

"Donghyuck, you're on-"

"I told you to call me Haechan, only Mark can call me Donghyuck," and with that, he walked on stage.

Slowly, more people came and left, going up there, performing, walking off, and gathering in the hallway. Now it was just Soyeon, Felix, and I, not gonna lie, I was intimidated by Soyoen. If I remember correctly she did a rap with Sunwoo at his birthday party last year. She's good, and pretty, if I wasn't so gay for Jacob I would date her, but she's taken by Yuqi so that's a no.

Johnny called Soyeon on stage and she was excellent, Felix followed after, doing his little demonstration.

Johnny walked towards me and explained a bit more, "After Felix gets off stage, headmaster's gonna make a speech, then the student council is gonna make announcements about graduation and the dance. I'll go on stage and thank the film club and the participants when I'm done I'll introduce you. Got that." I nodded only understanding the last part. He smiled and walked away as the Australian came my way.

He gave me a pat on the shoulder, "Eric and 'em are right in front, the rest of your class is on the far right, around the middle row. Good luck mate." he smiled and left. I was shaking my body while the speeches happened, trying to rid my stress and nerves.

Eventually, I heard, "Now please give a warm welcome to our last performer, one of our fun-loving Canadians, KEVIN MOON!"

'Oh fuck', was all I thought when the spotlights landed on me.

Teeheehee, until next week. Sorry, I had a party yesterday so u forgot to update. Love you, miss you, take care. Bye.
