More Perks, Less Jerks -II
Monday... ☺
Tiffany's POV
So this is the day! I'm so excited what will happen later. Me and Taeyeon went to the school together, she used her Bugatti Veyron (Grand Sport Vitesse, 2011 -2015). Base price of the Vitesse costs 1.69 million € (without tax and transportation) and this car was limited to 8 units. I'm not really into cars but I guess this is one of the most fastest cars in the world.
Taeyeon went straight to the office of the Dean to meet her godfather Mr. Kim Kihyeon while me, I'm already in our room with Seohyun. Bora wasn't around yet, she's not tardy it's not her usual to be late.
I'm sitting on my respective seat while Seohyun is in front of me. She twirled around to face me.
"Tiffany unnie, do you know that Erika is our classmate?" Yeah, the rumor spread like a wild fire but they didn't know that Erika is Taeyeon... Yet.
I nodded.
"Whaaa... I'm so excited to see her." You already did and I smirked.
"Wait, what's that?" Seohyun narrowed her eyes looking suspicious at me.
"Erika is my friend" I cockily said.
"Kim Erika is your friend!" She shouted, so our classmates glanced at us.
"Yes, she is" Then they muttered things that was incoherent. I don't mind anyway I'm just happy now.
"Ohh daebak!!! You're really awesome Tiffany unnie" Yoona walked passed by and smiled at Seohyun. What? She smiled? They're friends? But I noticed that Seohyun bowed down and I think she's blushing! Omo, so cute.
I looked at Yoona but she just rolled her eyes, maybe she's still mad at me. I deserve that because I hurt Taeyeon, she's really a good friend of the latter. Yoona took her seat and just looked outside the window.
"Bora unnie, you're here" Seohyun said. I turned my gaze at the seat beside me and Bora occupied it. She looked pale.
"Are you okay Bora?" I asked, it's my first time being concern to them. From now on, I will treat them as my friends not minions.
It seems that she didn't hear me. She's not in herself, she's haggard and her eyes were teary.
Suddenly, Prof. Lee arrived and all were seated properly including me and Seohyun.
"Good morning class" Prof. Lee greeted us.
"Good morning miss Lee" We said in chorus.
Then abruptly, our classmates screamed. Taeyeon is here! She's fashionably late.
Erika? She's Kim Erika?
Oh my gosh, she's a goddess!
I never thought Taeyeon whose nerd is Erika the princess...
Her new hair color suits her.
Wahhh, she's so beautiful... she's like a model.
She's so cute, can I take her home?
I can hear them loud and clear but sorry guys she's mine.
Taeyeon bowed down 90 degrees to Miss Lee "Good morning Miss, sorry I'm late" then Taeyeon patted my shoulder and I smiled at her. She took her seat at the back of Yoona, everyone looks shocked even the latter.
"I'm so dead" Bora said and I looked at her "Taeyeon is Erika, I bullied her... now everyone will hate me" She looked anxious. What's her problem?
"Taeyeon so... You're Kim Erika. You look very different today. And you're more beautiful than before." Miss Lee complimented Taeyeon.
Taeyeon bowed again "Thank you Miss Lee" and she smiled.
"You're welcome. Anyway... class, your final exam will be next week. And Bora..." Miss Lee trailed off.
Bora quickly stood up "Yes miss?" She looked nervous.
"You didn't pay for your tuition fee this sem right? Please settle it. I know that your family is struggling right now and..." But she didn't finish her sentence. Bora lowered her head, wait. Struggling? What's the matter?
"Okay miss" Then Bora sat down. I looked at Bora with my confused face.
Seohyun looked at me over her shoulder "You didn't know the news unnie?" She asked quietly. I looked at her and shook my head.
"Their family business is bankrupt, it's all over the news" Seohyun whispered at me. What? Bankrupt?? I feel guilty, I'm her friend but I don't know anything about her life.
Taeyeon raised her hand, everybody looked at her "Yes Taeyeon, what is it?" Miss Lee asked.
"Our scholarship is transmittable right miss?" Taeyeon simply asked as she put down her hand on her table.
"Yes, absolutely. Why you asked?"
"I want to transfer my scholarship to Bora" Taeyeon glanced at Bora and smiled while Bora stared at Taeyeon with her eyes widened. My Tae is so kind.
"Are you sure? But Bora needs to maintain her grades. I'm not judging her but based on her previous grades, she will just gonna lose it" Miss Less commented, she's stating the fact because Bora didn't care about her grades actually. She's not studying I know it, she's always with me.
Taeyeon stood up "I know she can do it miss, I'm very sure" She confidently said.
"Ohh... Okay. I will prepare the form later, just go to the faculty room after the class." Miss Lee said and smiled.
"Thanks you so much miss Lee"
Taeyeon sat down and everybody clapped their hands to honor Taeyeon for her kindness. I told she's really amazing, I'm so proud of her. For what she did, it made me admire her more.
Taeyeon looked at me and winked. Gosh, I know that I'm blushing then she grinned. Now with that I know she's teasing me so I gave her my sweetest eye smile... now who's like a dork? She's looking at me sheepishly and I giggled.
Then the class started smooth. Good vibes ahead. 😊😇👍
*****
In the canteen, it's like a miracle that me, Taeyeon, Yoona, Bora and Seohyun were in the same table. We're facing each other with the round table and we're eating our lunch while chatting.
"So you two are already friends? But why you bullied Taeyeon?" Yoona asked me.
"Ahh... Tiffany is mad that time, it's not really serious though." Taeyeon reasoned out so I just nodded.
"So Tiffany unnie knows that you're Erika?" Seohyun asked curiously.
"Yes, she knows it since we became friends." Taeyeon answered for me and I nodded again.
"Now I get it Taeyeon unnie... You said you can handle it right? Because Tiffany is your friend, she will not hurt you." Yoona said while patting the table. And what was that? What are they talking about?
Taeyeon just shrugged, Bora was just silent playing her food but I know she's listening to our conversation.
"I hope umm... That we're all friends now. And starting today, I will not bully again as my promise to Taeyeon." I sincerely said and Taeyeon smiled at me.
Seohyun clapped her hands "Yehet! I really don't like bullying so that's a good news unnie!" She happily said.
"I like the idea, sure... Let's all be friends" Yoona agreed and gave a toothy smile.
Seohyun held Taeyeon's hand and I raised my eyebrows "Taeyeon unnie, I'm sorry for all the dumb things that I did to you." She turned her gaze to Yoona "I'm sorry too, Yoona." Then she ducked while her face reddened. If I'm not mistaken, our little Seo likes Yoona. I could sense it.
"Nah, it's fine. I don't really mind, just forget about it." Yoona held Seohyun's shoulder "You're so cute, Seohyun" She giggled.
"Th-thank you Yoona" Hmm... I smell something fishy here.
"Are you okay Bora?" Taeyeon asked looking concern to Bora.
Bora stood up rudely, she's glaring at Taeyeon but the latter was just calm. We kept our silence for a moment then Bora bowed to Taeyeon.
"Thank you Erika for helping me" Bora said with her trembling voice.
"You're welcome, I know you can maintain your grades. And we will help you, don't worry." Taeyeon reassured her.
"Why you're so kind to me even if I did bad things to you? Aren't you mad?" Bora asked nervously. I could say she's regretting everything she have done to Taeyeon, and that's what matter. I know Taeyeon could feel it too.
Taeyeon shook her head "Nope, let's forget it like nothing happened. People deserve chances to change and... when we're hurt, it doesn't mean that we have the rights to also hurt others." I'm learning a lot of things from Taeyeon.
Bora can't handle it and her tears fell down from her eyes "Thank you" She mumbled "Thank you so much" She sat and Seohyun rubbed Bora's back to comfort her.
I'm happy because now we're all friends, there's only one thing that I need to do and everything will be perfect. I need to talk to Cheol Woo.
Speaking of him, he just walked in the canteen. Maybe this is the right time to talk to him. I looked at Taeyeon, she saw Cheol Woo too and I signaled her. She nodded at me then I stood up.
"Excuse me guys, I just need to talk to someone"
Seohyun looked around and she saw Cheol Woo "Oh! Cheol Woo oppa, you will have your quality time with your boyfriend?"
I forced a smile while Taeyeon was deadpanned.
"It's okay, you can go Tiffany" Yoona said and Taeyeon agreed. I excused myself and walked towards Cheol Woo.
"Hi" I greeted him "Can we talk?"
"Hello Tiff, sure. Let's sit here." Then we sat not really far from my friends' table.
"What is it my princess?" He asked with a smile.
I stiffened and exhaled sharply "I will direct it to the point Cheol Woo... We're friends right?"
Cheol Woo's forehead furrowed "Yes, is there something wrong?"
I shook my head "But I want to end our act Cheol Woo, let's announce our fake break up."
"What? But why in all of a sudden?" He became edgy.
"I don't want to pretend anymore and I don't want to use you, you're my friend." I said and held his hand "I hope you understand" I stared at him intently.
"No, not today Tiff. Give me a week please? I have my games for this week, I can't focus if you will break up with me now. People will talk about it and I think I can't handle it. Please not today Tiff. This is my last favor as your fake boyfriend" Cheol Woo pleaded as he caressed my hand.
What will I do now? I understand Cheol Woo, it's just a week... Maybe Taeyeon would understand too. I glanced at their table, Taeyeon was staring at us with her poker face. Is she jealous? Then I moved away my hand from Cheol Woo.
"But Cheol Woo-"
"Please Tiff, just a week?"
Whew! I will just explain to Taeyeon, Cheol Woo is my friend. I will grant his last favor to me as a fake girlfriend. And I don't want to let him down.
"Fine, just a week and we will end this act." I demanded and stood up.
Cheol Woo stood up and drew closer to me. He hugged me, just briefly.
"Thank you Tiff, you're the best! Support me okay?" I stepped away from him, I'm kinda uncomfortable with that.
"Okay, see you around" I quickly walked back to Taeyeon's table and sat beside her and Bora.
"Unnie, looks like Cheol Woo is really happy." Seohyun said and I looked at Taeyeon, she leaned back in her chair then tapped her fingers on the table.
"Do you have a date?" Yoona grinned, she's teasing me.
"Cheol Woo really loves Tiffany, I know that. This week is their game play, maybe Tiffany as girlfriend will support him that's why he's so happy." Bora stated, she hit the right note. She seems fine now.
"Is that true Pani?" Taeyeon asked plainly.
"Um... y-yeah... I will support him till NEXT WEEK." I emphasized the last two words, I hope Taeyeon would understand it.
Taeyeon suddenly stood up, I guess she's not in the mood now.
"Excuse me, I will just go to the restroom" Then Taeyeon walked away without looking at us. Is she mad now?
"Is she bipolar? I can feel her negative energy" Seohyun said and she shivered.
I stood up "Excuse me, I will just go to the restroom too." Then I jogged to chase Taeyeon.
In the hallway, I saw Taeyeon outside the restroom she leaned her back on the wall while her arms crossed over her chest. She looked at me, it's kinda glare? I don't know maybe she's mad?
I stopped in front of her "I'm sorry Tae" I said as soon as possible.
"You're still with him?" I nodded and she scoffed.
"It's just a week, it's his last favor. He's a friend so I don't want to ruin his games. It's just an act Tae, I hope you understand" I explained.
"I can't Pani, you promised me but you will just break it. I trusted you in this! I feel hurt and betrayed now, maybe you like him?" Taeyeon eyebrows snapped together.
"Please let's talk about it at home" I don't want her to be mad at me. I broke my promise but Cheol Woo is a friend, I hope she will understand me if I explain it later. It's just a week, not a biggie.
Taeyeon bitterly smiled "You chose him over me... obviously."
"Don't make it a big deal Tae, please..." She's not listening anymore.
"But you promised me!" Taeyeon insisted. Yeah, but why can't she open her mind and try to understand me?? "You know I have my trust issues Pani... even if I love you doesn't mean that I can trust you. I'm really disappointed, I expected too much from you but it's just something that didn't matter to you. Of course it's a big deal because the thing here is you promised me. Don't promise things if you can't do it." Her words are like arrows that hit me straight to my heart. What did I do? Why she's being inconsiderate now?
"I'm really hurt Pani... just don't talk to me for now." Then she walked away, I froze with what she have said. So am I not allow to talk to her?
She's unfair.
I don't understand her.
Why?
I thought it'll be perfect... that everything will be perfect.
I expected too much indeed.
And I sighed. T_T
*****
If you're Taeyeon, will you be mad too? o.O
Who's insensitive now?
