~ Together by a String ~ (Jiyoo)

~30~

"I liked the new petname.."

"Which one? Puppy? Do you want me to call you my puppy now, hm?"

She answered with a shy nod and grabbed my shirt and helped me put it on, kissing my neck the moment she saw my skin. I giggled at the ticklish feeling and kissed her cheek before sitting on the chair and her sitting on my lap. She turned the laptop to face us again and unmuted herself and the girls immediately gasped the moment they saw us and teased the living shit out of us.

"The two lovebirds are finally back after fucking~."

"Can't believe you two were doing stuff right infront of us! So naughty~"

"I swear I can see a hickey on Yoohyeon's neck."

"Isn't that an old one though?"

"Girl, she has hickeys all over her on a regular basis that I don't even know anymore."

We both rolled our eyes and laughed at their jokes, checking the time and there was a minute left. I pulled out my phone and patiently waited while Yoohyeon was refreshing the site every few seconds. We decided it'd be best if we went in a random order, so first was Bora, then Siyeon, Dami, Handong, Chaewon, Yoohyeon and lastly me. We heard the girls' mumbled voices and the moment the clock hit 10 AM, Bora's screams were heard.

"Holy fucking shit, I passed with 89%!"

We all cheered for her and waited for Siyeon, but she was silent for a solid while. I called her name a few times but she just stared at the camera without an expression.

"You didn't pass?"

"I don't think so.. I got 25%.."

Bora widened her eyes and shouted a loud "Huh!?" and ran away from the camera, popping up in Siyeon's screen in a flash. Bora leaned to look at Siyeon's screen and mockingly scoffed, hitting the latter's shoulder.

"You fucking idiot, your phone is upside down! It's 52%, not 25%!"

"Oh!? I passed guys!"

We couldn't help but laugh at Siyeon's silliness and heard a sudden happy shout from both Dami and Handong.

"We both got 71%!"

Yoohyeon congratulated them but it was turn for Chaewon who was unusually quiet. I leaned closer to the screen and noticed her trying to hide a laughter, so I called her out for it, teasing her.

"Chae, you didn't pass, did you? You little idiot."

"No stop, I literally have 30% and that's the minimum for passing. And I studied like hell just to almost fail?! Fucking bullshit."

Me and Siyeon mocked her but Chaewon pointed at what seemed to be me with a cheeky smile.

"Kim Minji, you're gonna be on the failed side so don't laugh too hard!"

I was laughing but I honestly was scared that I might have failed it. Chaewon was really smart, so her almost failing the test meant I probably had no chance. Yoohyeon felt how tensed up I got and wrapped her arm around my shoulders and smiled, whispering "I believe in you".

Bora clapped her hands and everyone's attention was plastered on her.

"Girls, it's Yoohyeon's turn so shut up!"

I turned to look at Yoohyeon and nodded, motioning her to do it. She held the mouse with her hand but immediately pulled back and hugged my neck, getting scared like a little puppy.
