"Let's start with the slogan, what should it be?" Jimin mumbles as he looks at the cardboard intensively.

"How about 'classroom café but feels like home'?" Haruki imitates in a dramatic voice like he is acting out a historical play. He was so proud of it!

So it was like this, since Jimin and Haruki were free after their school ended, they decided to come and help Natsuki, Fumiya and Taehyung with the different activities.

"Nah! That sounds weird..." Fumiya scrunches his nose in disapproval.

"Then... 'taste the exclusive student coffee made by students' How does that sound?" this time, everyone grimaces in disapproval of Jimin's idea.

"You both are no help." Natsuki shakes her head.

"Um, what about using this, 'sweet coffee for sweet students'?" Taehyung tries to think of something.

"That sounds decent," Natsuki says, thinking before speaking.

"Oh yeah?" Fumiya exclaims, eyeing Natsuki.

Natsuki just huffs a breath out of annoyance.

Ever since yesterday, Fumiya hasn't stopped teasing Natsuki about Taehyung. He finds something to tease her about every now and then and it was honestly frustrating her but she couldn't even say anything because it was not like Fumiya's teasings were baseless!

"Let's just use it, my brain is tired." Jimin groans, scribbling the words in his notebook.

"Yeah, it's better than using 'exclusive coffee made by students.'" Haruki snorts, teasing Jimin.

"Whatever!" Jimin rolls his eyes at him, secretly sulking with a pout.

Taehyung has the camera hung around his neck with a strap attached to it as he occasionally clicks the shutter of the camera, gazing through the viewfinder and smiles at the picture, satisfied with the results.

Fumiya and Jimin are helping Natsuki in making the cardboard slogan signs and banners which can be hung on the walls in and out of the classroom. Haruki just helps anyone who needs help.

Kaito is taking the help of some other students to create a layout of the decoration which they will be doing inside the classroom to turn it into a cozy-looking café.

Emiko and the other girls are helping the chef choose the perfect menu for the festival and also deciding on the rules for the waiters and other staff members.

Some other students are also making banners, preparing for the decoration and sorting out which type of theme they would be going with!

Taehyung has only one task, which is to click pretty pictures of everyone's work and show how all the classmates are working in unity as one team. He even records little clips now and then, so that they can be added to the film.

"Fumiya-kun, look here!" Taehyung gestures to him to look at the camera for a picture while Fumiya is holding a bunch of paintbrushes in his hand, his uniform shirt is slightly sprinkled with yellow colour at the corner as well. He is probably going to get a scolding once he gets home but he doesn't care.

The sun is setting as everyone works silently yet noisily in the background and Taehyung presses his finger on the shuttle as a clicking sound goes off, eyes looking into the viewfinder while Fumiya gives him a wide smile in front of the camera.

Taehyung gives him a thumbs up and he looks at the newly added picture, it was perfect! Fumiya continues his work and Taehyung does the same.

Natsuki is in charge of filling the colours in the giant letters on the banners. Jimin was the one who wrote it all.

Jimin has also helped her in choosing the colours and shades that go well together and now it's her job to fill them with beautiful colours.

Fumiya goes to help her as she is sitting on the floor, beside the stage, dipping the brush in a light blue colour and smearing it all over the cardboard with care.

"What can I do?" Fumiya asks, sitting right beside her and in the process, their knees align together, touching ever so slightly.

"I could use some help in this one part." she shows him a narrow part where the red colour is supposed to go and Fumiya nods before leaning towards his left where Natsuki is sitting because the colours were put on Natsuki's left side.

A click of the shutter goes off while they're working. It startles Natsuki and she looks up to find Taehyung looking at the camera screen with a perplexed look.

"Is something wrong?" Natsuki asks as she notices his expression.

"Uh? No, nothing is wrong." he smiles, rubbing the back of his neck and turns around to leave, still looking at the screen.

"Is that what jealousy looks like?" Fumiya whispers to Natsuki after a while.

"What?" she has no idea what he's talking about.

"Jealousy!" Fumiya sings, his words extending a bit too long.

"Jealous? Who is jealous?" Natsuki still has no idea.

Is she pretending to be dumb or she's actually dumb? Both of the cases make her look stupid!

"It's because Fumiya-kun is sitting so close to you and he got it in the picture." Jimin chimes in, being nosey.

"What are you doing here?" Natsuki whispers again.

"I'm just listening to you." he shrugs like it was the most common thing to do.

"That's stalking!" Natsuki accuses him.

"That's not!" Jimin protests back and they keep bickering while working.

"Yukio-kun! Can you take a picture of us?" a loud voice echoes in the classroom which catches Natsuki's attention.

Curiosity gets the best of her and she listens closely to their conversation.

What an irony!

"Sure, why not?" Taehyung replies, taking the position before the girl who just asked him and looks through the lens to take a picture.

The classroom is filled with students scattered around here and there which leaves not much room for everyone to work individually; they have to adjust.

The girl, Emiko to be precise, smiles at the camera, her eyes never leaving Taehyung's figure as she watches him even after he is done taking the picture.

"Yukio-kun, are you free after the cultural festival?" she trudges closer to him and attempts to start a conversation.

Natsuki is watching this exchange from a distance and it is honestly distracting her now.

"Uh, I'm not sure," Taehyung answers awkwardly.

"It's alright, um, can you click another picture for me? I want one for myself only," she smiles, batting her eyelashes at him who clearly seems troubled but is too shy to reject her request.

"What? This is ridiculous, he is clearly uncomfortable. Can't she see it?" Fumiya whispers to Natsuki. Seems like, it was not only Natsuki who was distracted by the annoying sight in front of them.

"I know right?" Natsuki grips the paintbrush tightly in her hand.

"Uh, yeah, maybe..." Taehyung's words trail off.

"So, can you send it to me via line? Oh, I don't have your line ID. Can I have it?" Emiko now inches closer to him.

"What the hell?" Fumiya glances at Natsuki, enjoying the change of expressions on her face.

He almost chuckles out 'loud.

"Exactly!" Jimin is still there too, watching everything unfold in front of their eyes.

"Suki-chan- wait, what?" Fumiya starts but he is surprised when Natsuki gets up, stomping her way towards Taehyung and Emiko, who are still conversing.

"Excuse me Emiko-san, but this is only for the cultural festival. We can not use the pictures for personal use." Natsuki gives her the sweetest smile she could manage to make and stands beside Taehyung.

Taehyung, however, is thankful that Natsuki came to his rescue. He seriously didn't know how to deal with such people.

Listening to Natsuki's words, Emiko's face falls, she pouts and mutters an 'alright' before turning away from them.

"Thank god!" Taehyung turns to her, sighing in relief, "thank you, Natsuki, for helping me out there." he says, wearing a light smile on his lips as he speaks.

Natsuki's heart warms up at the sight and as if all the blood in her body has turned towards her cheeks, she blushes red like a lush red strawberry.

"It's nothing," she mutters, reciprocating the smile but looks down, not able to meet Taehyung's gaze.

Fumiya clears his throat as Natsuki turns around, "is everything alright?" he asks, smiling like he knows everything and approaches them.

Who knows? He probably does!

"Yes, Natsuki helped me in time," Taehyung says to him.

"Oh, that's right! She practically ran here to rescue you from the girl who was clearly trying to h-" Before Jimin could complete his sentence, Natsuki pressed her hand on his mouth, preventing him from speaking further.

This time, Fumiya couldn't hold back his laugh and so, he laughs his heart out, bending over to catch his breath at Natsuki's panicking state.

Everyone looks at him confused. Is he possessed by a laughing ghost?

"I'm sorry," Natsuki apologies to Jimin and releases him but quickly turns to Fumiya who is busy laughing his ass off, "and you, Fumiya Takahashi, we need to talk." with that, she holds him by the wrist and practically drags him out of the classroom.

Uh oh!

"What happened between them?" Taehyung asks Jimin who is still standing there with him.

"I don't know, man!" he replies with a shrug of his shoulders, "but, I think it's something serious seeing how pissed off Natsuki-chan sounded." Jimin visibly gulps. There's a possibility that he knows what happens when she uses the full name to address someone. It simply doesn't end so well.

"Maybe they're just having lovers' quarrel?" Jimin suddenly mumbles, which catches Taehyung's attention.

"Huh? What do you mean? Are they...?" something inside him shifts at the mention of the word 'lovers'.

"Oh, I don't know. But, don't they behave like that? I used to ship them a lot before." Jimin laughs at the memories.

"Used to?" Taehyung questions, picking up the keyword from his sentence.

"Well, I used to but then one day, Fumiya kind of was in a relationship with someone else a few years ago so, I had to stop it from there," Jimin pauses, giving Taehyung some time to process it and continues, "but they broke up pretty quickly, you know? It wasn't anything serious." he shrugs.

Taehyung is deep in thought as he looks over at the classroom door, wondering what she is talking about with Fumiya.

•~•~•

"What do you think you're doing, Fumiya?" Natsuki folds her hands as she stares deeply into Fumiya's eyes.

Fumiya gulps, nervously shrugging his shoulders. A habit he has whenever he is nervous is to shrug his shoulders.

"Well, there's no denying now, Suki." he folds his hands too, trying to intimidate her.

"Aren't you just... too obvious?" Fumiya asks.

"W-what?" now, Natsuki has forgotten all her savagery.

"You like Yukio-kun, don't you?" there's a specific type of smile on Fumiya's face which screams just how confident and sure he is about his words.

They're best friends! Nothing can be hidden from each other when they know so much about each other.

It's a blessing in disguise of a curse... or it can be the other way around!
