Cutting Strings

Chapter 3 ● Persuasion

Tiffany is in a very very good mood. Her eyes shine as she walk to the meeting room.

Nichkhun is by her side, speaking with Kyuhyun, a third year and an important member in the council. To her right, is Choi Minho, nudging her to tell what's going on.

"Come on, how did it go?" Minho wraps his hand around hers "From what I see, you two are still together" he says again, trying to whisper so Nichkhun can't hear.

Apparently he did.

"We broke up" Nichkhun confirms.

"WHAT!?" This surprisingly come from Kyuhyun who suddenly stops walking. The rest of them stop walking too to laugh at his shocked face.

Kyuhyun points at Tiffany and then Nichkhun "Y-you two really separate?" He actually stutters.

"Yeah, but please be quiet Oppa" Tiffany scolds him but then Kyuhyun gives her a smirk before he wraps his hand around her shoulder.

"I figure you're ready for another relationship?" Kyuhyun starts to walk again with Tiffany by her side "Because Oppa is better than... Ow!"

Nichkhun just pinched his arm and pull Tiffany out of his grasp "Careful there. Her jealous ex is here" he says, but with a hint of joke in his voice.

They laugh, except Kyuhyun who pretends to pout.

"Come on then or we're gonna be late" Minho is now the one who put his hand around her shoulder and pull her along.

Kyuhyun looks at Nichkhun but he is just walking behind them with no intention of separating them.

"Hey that's not fair" He protest, pointing at Minho who did the same thing to her, and Nichkhun chuckles "He always did that even when we were dating. Minho is no big deal"

Meanwhile, walking some steps in front of them, Minho is still pestering Tiffany "But how did he react? Did he say he also want to break up? Tell me!"

Tiffany laughs and pushes him off her  "I'm gonna tell you tomorrow when Taeyeon is there too" if he tells Minho and Taeyeon separately, it will only tire her.

Minho groans and proceed to tell her that he is curious to death and keep begging.

"Minho, please tell me you bring the attendance list this time" Nichkhun suddenly catch up to them and nudge Minho's side.

Minho look at his senior with a guilty expression. They finally arrive at the council meeting room.

"It's okay. I got it." Tiffany put her bag on the table and take a sheet from it. She always get everything ready eventhough different people has been assigned to do it. Nichkhun sit beside her, like usual, while giving smirking Minho a warning look.

Minho sit across them, "I know I can always count on Tiffany, ow!" He groans.

"If you can't do your job I'm sure it will be easy to kick you out" Another girl suddenly goes in and slap Minho's head in the back as she walk to sit on the other side of Tiffany.

"Hi Sooyoung" Tiffany smiles happily as Sooyoung is the closest girl in the council to her. Sooyoung smiles back "Hi Tiff, oppa, and oppa" she nods to Nickhun and Kyuhyun whom both nod back.

"You only ask five people from ours and their side right?" Kyuhyun ask from beside Minho to the president of the council, Nickhun nod in affirmation.

Just in time, the five representatives from the school gang has arrived. They all take the remaining seat on the oval table.

Tiffany knows their name. They are always the representatives.

The senior year jjang is Jiyoung, and he knows Tiffany very well since he dated her bestfriend. They often hang out together and so Jiyong smiles at her as he walks in.
