Cutting Strings

Chapter 4 ● Butterfly

Tiffany looks at herself in the full length mirror in front of her. Her bright brown eyes scan every inch of her body.

She always looks good in uniform, Minho and a few of her male friends has said, but she needs more appeal today.

She needs to look hot but proper at the same time. She wants Sehun to look at her and sing praises to the God to even let him know her.

Speaking of, the handsome man has answer her dm with:

Great choice Princess, meet me at the back of the cafeteria under the emergency stairs after school. Try not to get recognized by anyone.

Which she only read and not bother reply.

Tiffany pulls her skirt a little higher so it ends in the middle of her thigh. Now she looks like every school boy fantasy, which is what she aims for.

Then she gather her hair and put it on a high ponytail. Now she looks sexy and badass. Like a butterfly getting out of its cocoon for the first time.

On second thought, if Sehun doesn't appreciate her, she is sure she can easily get herself a new boyfriend.

"Damn, Nichkhun will cry blood when he sees you"

Tiffany turns around to see Taeyeon leaning on her opened dorm door. She is eating an apple and then throws her one.

"Hope not. I'm through with him" Tiffany answers, biting the apple and check herself on the mirror once more.

"Good girl. Where's your bitch of a roommate?" Taeyeon asks, looking around.

Tiffany lets out a laugh while grabbing her soft pink backpack, "Out early, she hates my face". She honestly can't wait to be a senior where she will have her own bedroom dorm for herself.

Junior year must live in a dorm, sharing with four students in one room. Tiffany met Taeyeon this way. Sophomore year has two students in one room, and senior year has their own room per student.

When Tiffany is about to walk out of the door Taeyeon stops her by pulling her wrist.

"One more touch please!" She says excitedly before she rummage through her own bag, Tiffany lifts one eyebrow in question.

Red chapstick. That's what Taeyeon pulls out. "Put this on and you'll look fire" she shoves it into Tiffany's hand, "and it isn't fiery red, it is soft red that makes you look kissable"

If Taeyeon is the salesperson of the chapstick Tiffany will buy them off the shelves.

But her judgement is right. Tiffany does look more appealing than before, if it even possible.

"Now Nichkhun Oppa will cry blood" Taeyeon giggles. Tiffany shakes her head while openly laughing.

Minho's jaw drops when he look at her closest girl friend walking out the female dorm. She never look so fierce and sexy before.

Taeyeon closes his mouth with her index finger when they finally stand in front of him, "You've done it boo, even Minho is broken"

Tiffany shifts at her feet and look at Minho through her lashes, "Oppa" she teases him with a cutesy voice and a pretty pout. The boy in front of her splutters and blushes. Taeyeon laughs so hard people start to look.

Hooking her hand with Tiffany, Taeyeon starts to pull her along, leaving still gaping Minho behind. "Minho is so easy" Taeyeon shakes her head, she can never forget her friend's stupid face. Tiffany laughs along.

They hear rapid footsteps behind them and then Minho walking alongside them, "What's your aim? Giving the virgin nosebleed?" He sounds annoyed as he has been shamed.
