Cutting Strings

Ch. 1 ● Party and Bullshit

The party is in full swing.

The lights are blinding eyes as it flickers and dance on its own. The music breaks eardrums and it won't stop anytime soon. Sweaty bodies are on the dance floor, swinging to the music.

A girl with long thin legs, waist length brunette hair, petite figure, and small light brown eyes is sipping her drink quietly from the more silence corner of the party.

She is leaning on the bar table, facing the crowded dance floor. Her clouded eyes are staring lazily to the people dancing.

Most eyes are stealing looks from her. Either appreciating her radiating beauty, or because of sheer curiosity on why is she alone at the most hip new year's eve party.

Tiffany Hwang is her name. She is pretty famous around the school.

She is active as the vice president of the school council, a very important member of the theater club, and is always busy on positive volunteers.

She is the best student a school ever hope for.

Tiffany sniffes in disdain at the alcohol on her grasp. It reeks, but it taste good. Lucky for her, she is a very good drinker. Two glass of it won't faze her. She maybe is a model student, but she also enjoys her youth in the process.

When she look upon the dance floor once more she catch her bestfriend's eyes. Her bestfriend dances in the arms of her boyfriend, and she points at Tiffany's drink, warning her with her eyes to not drink too much.

Tiffany nods before averting her eyes to something more important.

How her current boyfriend is dancing with another girl. Not just casual dance at that, it's the chest heaving, body sweating, booty out kinda dance.

He is drunk. Tiffany can confirm that. But she can not wait to break up with him in the morning.

Nichkhun is a great boyfriend, before tonight. He is in a year above her, third year. He is the president of the school council, so him and Tiffany are almost always together.

They have an on and off relationship. Two months together, separate for a month, back together for three months, separate for two months, and back again.

Taeyeon, Tiffany's bestfriend, had talked to her about it. How Nichkhun is ruining her youth. Tiffany has rejected several love confessions because she is waiting to get back with Nichkhun.

She is also get depressed everytime Nichkhun and her had a big fight and had to separate.

Tiffany knows how her relationship with him is toxic. She also knows she can move on to the better, but sometimes certainty is much better than guessing.

But not for tonight. She isn't sure for tonight. Right from the start of their relationship until now, Tiffany never once seen Nichkhun with other girl. Even in their break up state.

Currently, still her boyfriend, is laying his arms on a girl's waist while they dance. How revolting.

"That's not a nice sight" says someone from beside her.

Tiffany look up to meet the eyes of the boy leaning to the bar beside her. His sweaty hair swept back and his hazel eyes are looking straight into her soul.

"Oh Sehun, fancy meeting you here" she replies lazily, eyes back to the dance floor.

Oh Sehun is also on the same year as her, but different class. He is a complete opposite of her.

He is famous as a playboy. You never seen him with a same girl twice. It changes everytime that Tiffany doesn't know where he can find all the girls.
