Cutting Strings

Chapter 10 ● Intersection

Sehun is the last person out of the room. He closes the door softly that it only makes soft click sound.

Tiffany, with her heart hammering in her chest, walk toward the only bed in the room, and stand beside the end of the bed. She swallows her own saliva in nervousness.

Kai's eyes are staring at her that her hands shiver.

"Do you know it is incredibly stupid of you?" He finally says with a raspy voice, eyebrow raised in question.

Tiffany crooked her neck to her right like a bird looking at a worm, "I've done a lot of stupid things, which one do you refer to?" She pats herself in the back mentally that her voice didn't waver.

"Helping me, and to come here" Kai gestures to the hospital with his hand.

The brunette beauty chuckles, "Helping you is a must. There's no choice in that" she shakes her head of the sheer ridiculousness. There's no way she'll let a man die just like that.

"What if you find our rival school's jjang in the same state as mine was. Will you help him like you did to me?" He asks again, eyes searching for answer in Tiffany's face.

And Tiffany is taken aback. She honestly don't know what she would do. There are questions she just can't answer, "Let's not talk about what ifs" she says, dismissing the topic.

Kai looks amused. The corner of his lips twich.

"Your coming here and your relationships with our members will be kept secret..." he says but stop when Tiffany has wrap her hand around his wrist softly, afraid of hurting him eventhough he is not.

"I can't speak to your members again, then?" She bites her lips in a worry state that it confuses Kai, but he doesn't show it. He looks smug even.

"Do you want to?"

Tiffany nods in a heartbeat "Ofcourse! They are wonderful people. I can't stop talking to Baekhyun and Yuri so suddenly" she almost pout but tries to restrain herself.

She fail.

Kai smiles. One actual genuine smile. And he looks very good at that. Tiffany's eyes avert to his pink lips for almost two seconds.

Tiffany can admit Kai really is handsome. Especially when he smiles.

"I was about to say, before you cut me, that you will be kept secret, and to be careful to interact with" Kai finishes with a deep chuckle that Tiffany can feel heat coming to her cheeks. It didn't help too that she realize her hand is still wrapped around his warm wrist.

She pulls her hand to her side shyly, Kai chuckles at that.

"So I can still talk to Baekhyun and Yuri, right?" She asks, and when Kai about to answer, she continue "and Jiyong Oppa, Top Oppa, Chanyeol, Kim Suho..." Kai cuts her by laughing out loud.

His laugh is contagious that Tiffany also giggles.

"Yes, and you can meet us if you like"

Her face lit up like its christmas. She doesn't know Kim Kai, the said scary, mysterious, and cruel is actually a good person, with a charming smile.

Tiffany suddenly remembers something and then open her bag in a hurry. "Damn, your phone" she takes his phone and thrust it at him.

Kai gives her a half-smile, and he did it so perfectly Tiffany might swoon. But he doesn't take his phone from her hand.

Tiffany question him with a raise of her eyebrow.

"Have you add anything to my phone?" He suddenly asks, ignoring Tiffany's hand.
