Mina POV

Woah, right now I'm busy with my cooking club as I'm the president. Yes, now I'm the president as they vote me to be the president as my achievement from the valentine event. The school decided to give us a field day the Friday after break. After being stressed studying, this going be my another level of stress.

"That's a lot of backdrops." I said as Nayeon and Momo busying prepare for their booth.

"Yeah, the cheer team partnered with the art club. So, they painted all this. Our booth kind of photo booth." Momo explain.

"That's cute." I said.

"I had to beg my coach to let me be in the hula skirt and Jeongyeon to be a crab." Nayeon said.

"Isn't super hot? Jeongyeon okay with being in the stuffy crab thing?" I asked her.

"Well, we told the boys we might be doing a kissing booth, they totally freaked out. Then, we voting and Jeongyeon win." Momo and Nayeon giggles.

I just laugh hearing that. The boys totally whipped for the cheer girl. They can do anything for them. I'm glad and happy for them. While, Jihyo and Sana still strong together. Tzuyu? The good news is, she now found another boy that have a same interested with her. The boy was cool even he's not popular as Chaeyoung but still everyone know about him. Now, entire school voting for them as hot couple, Choi Tzuyu and Jeon Jungkook. I make my way towards our bustling booth.

"The fryers working?" I asked.

"Yep. They seem fine." Seulgi confirms.

"The cheese machine?" I check.

"Yep." She replied.

"The coolers are chilled?" I check agin.

"Yep." Short replied.

"We had enough?" I asked.

"Yep. Mina, calm down okay. Everything its perfect." Seulgi assured me.

"Sorry. I'm just worried since its my first time I running something. If there's something wrong, its all my fault." I said.

"Nahh, everything is perfect. You already did a great job. The food looks great, Mina." Seulgi pat me on shoulder.

I start assigning people to their stations and showing them how to operate as a team. The most difficult was picking people who actually knew how to work a fryer and fully cook the food without burning our booth down. I leave a clipboard, next to the dingy organizer, with schedule for each person to take break and enjoy the fair. Slowly, the field day begin and people start to line up.

"Hey Mina." Seulgi pointed to Nayeon.

"I will be back guys. You guys can handle things?" I asked.

"Yup." They reply in unison, staying busy with the running booth.

I jog over to find Nayeon and Jeongyeon busy with posing in front of the backdrop.

"Hey." I greet them to announce my present.

"Mina. Thank god you're here. Would you mind covering for me? The other girls got sick and Momo on break. I and Jeongyeon want to take a look around." Nayeon explain.

"Hmm, sure. Go and have fun you lovebirds." I said.

"Lets go. I will give you my outfit." Nayeon starts to drag me away but I stop.

"Eh? I have to wear that?" I asked.

"Yes. Then what?" She asked.

"I thought I just going to watch the backdrop." I said.

"Eh? Why? The backdrop was fine. And you will look super cute with this." She squeals.

"Can't I be the crap." I whine.

"No. Chaeyoung is." She said.

"Wait. Chae-." Someone cuts me.

"I don't mind wearing the hula skirt." Chaeyoung joins in.

"You're okay with that?" Nayeon surprised.

"Yeah. Mina doesn't like dresser and skirt. As long as she don't mind the stuffy crab." He said. I just nodded agree with Chaeyoung.

"Fine. Follow me. Hopefully its fits." Nayeon and Chaeyoung retreat inside while Jeongyeon starts wiggle out of his costume.

"Are you sure Mina? You're going to be steamed crab in this thing." Jeongyeon sigh holds up the sweaty and red abomination.

After managing to get my costume on, Chaeyoung finally emerges with Nayeon. He seems to have managed to fit into the grass skirt. Its become a mid-thigh hem for Chaeyoung. His chest is bare only slightly covered by the lei made from colourful plastic cutouts of flowers. Soon, the line for the beach backdrop was the longest after the girl seeing Chaeyoung.

"You look crabby." Chaeyoung smiles.

"You look grassy." I replied.

"Isn't hot in there?" He asked.

"Yup. I should taken of my sweater, but its too late. This thing was harder to get into than I expected. You?" I said.

"I can feel the breeze." He grins.

"You-hmm, have something under that skirt right?" I asked.

"Yup. Shorts. Why?" Then, he dramatic gasp.

"You're pervert Mina." He tease.

With that, my face reds. Dang! Luckily, it fits with my red crab costume. With each pictures, the girls get closer and touchy with Chaeyoung. Some might grab his arms and giggling profusely. If my claws worked, I would be pinching every one of them. Well, maybe I'm too getting much into the character. After an hour, Nayeon and Jeongyeon finally return same as Momo and Dahyun releasing me for this hell. I can't tell what was worse, baking myself alive or watching a line of people grinding near at Chaeyoung.

"Thanks for covering." Nayeon and Momo helps me take off my dangling claws.

"No problem. I should be getting back to my booth." I sigh.

I try to outrun Chaeyoung, but its faster for him to kick off a grass skirt, lei and pull on a tshirt. I went back to my booth and Chaeyoung walk behind me following me.

"Hey, Mina. Its time for your break." Seulgi said.

"Ehh? I just on it." I said.

"You're covering for your friend. So, its an exception. Go and have fun." She said.

"No. Its-." Chaeyoung cuts me.

"Great. I can steal Mina from you guys right?" Chaeyoung catches up with me.

"Go ahead. We got it. Oh, take some snacks." Seulgi hands us some churros and chips.

"What lemonade?" She asked.

"Mint and strawberry. I will pay for them later." I replied.

"No worries. Everyone in the club got a freebie." She said.

I hand the strawberry lemonade and chips to Chaeyoung. He automatically follows me to sit somewhere in the grass without me telling.

"Strawberry?" He asked.

"Yeah, I know how you so addicted to strawberry." I blunt out, but Chaeyoung seems happy by my words.

"What was that about?" Chaeyoung sudden asked.

"What?" I'm confused.

"Crabby things. You were frowning the whole time." Chaeyoung said.

"It was hot." I replied.

"You should worn the skirt then." He said.

"No. I won't looked as good in that." I said.

"You think I looked good in it?" He grins widen.

"That's beside the point. How ironic how girl can't show shoulder but you, a male, could be shirtless." I said.

"So you were upset I was shirtless" Still grins.

"Yes-no, I just point out the unfair school policies." I replied.

"So, you want guys to not be shirtless or girls able to?" He asked.

"Just forget it. I just in character. You know, a crabby crab." I said.

"Really? Cause I see a jealous crab." He said smirk.

"No, I'm not. Why should I be?" I scoffed.

"I'm just teasing you." He said sigh. His face dropped and he turned away.

"Gosh, it's hot." I started peel off my hoodie but my shirt crawl up with it. Chaeyoung gently held down the hem for me.

"Thanks." I said. He just nodded and quietly coughed afterwards.

"Well, I still got forty minutes. Might as well do something. Wanna walk around with me?" I said look at him.

"Yeah, sure." He reply.

We threw away our trash and left my hoodie behind the booth alongside everyone else's belongings. Walking around, Chaeyoung and I were not sure what to do. Suddenly, we got pulled aside align with few other people. The track coach coughed a few times before turning on the mic.

"We are going to have a friendly competitions. Its piggy back race. Winner gets a prize that will be revealed later! So, gather around the track and watch." He said.

He clicked off the mic and turned to the group to briefly explain the event.

"So, one person per partnership is going to carry the other. Don't drop them. Whoever make a whole lap first wins. Simple right? Have fun." He said and walk away from the track.

"Hmm, I think you should run. Unless, you want me-." I suggest awkwardly.

"Yeah. I will carry you." Chaeyoung said.

"Cool." I replied.

"Get in your positions people." The coach yelled.

Chaeyoung kneels down, so I'm able to climb on. I wrap my arms around his neck and he hooks his arms under my legs. The memories from fall break seems to wash over me and its feel like yesterday.

"Ready, go!" The coach shoot.

Chaeyoung starts to bolt, my wandering mind takes time to readjust to the present. Almost as quick a it started, it ended.

"Congrats to Chaeyoung!" The coach cheers.

"You two just won a couple of free tickets to prom." He hand us each a slip a paper.

"We start selling them today. If you're interested, there's a booth in front of the school." He add.

"You're really fast." I said awkwardly. He just smile.

"Well, I better get back to my booth. Bye, thanks for.. this." I said wave the prom ticket.

"Oh, thank for being my partner." He said.

I just smile and nodded. We walked away, giving Chaeyoung last glance, I tucked the ticket into my pocket and got back to my booth.  From then on, it was long struggle. Its a bit exciting when Jihyo, Sana and Tzuyu stooped by but the rest it was boring. It was already dark by the time we finished clean up. Everyone else had pretty much already left, but it was worth it. We raised more than the last five fundraiser. I reach into my pockets for my keys, but they aren't there. Panic, I try to remember then I realise that I don't drive as I came here with Nayeon. I sigh. Guess I'm walking. I walk through the parking lot when I someone catch my eye and making me yelp.
