~ Together by a String ~ (Jiyoo)

~30~

I grabbed the mouse and refreshed the page instead of her and we both anxiously waited for the results. She hid her face in the crook of my neck and waited for my reaction. Everyone did.

"Holy. Fucking. Shit."

I widened my eyes and opened my mouth agape in incredulity. Everyone shouted, asking for the results and I showed them with my fingers, Bora and Handong being the loudest and most shocked ones. Yoohyeon looked at me, trying to read my face.

"Is it.. good?"

"Is 98% good for you?"

"WHAT!?"

She immediately turned her head to stare at the screen and jumped out of my lap into the bed, cheering like a little kid. Yoojung popped up, after knocking this time, and asked what was going on. I pointed at the screen and he widened his eyes, screeching like an actual child. Bora has some competition now. He left the house to buy a cake as a way to congratulate Yoohyeon while I was just smiling at how cute my girlfriend looked while happy.

Yoohyeon got up from the bed and ran back to me, suddenly kissing me infront of everyone and them screaming like little girls. She sat back on my lap and hugged me, excitedly leaving kisses on my lips. I heard Chaewon cough to make us finally stop and called out my name.

"Minji, what about your results?"

I let out a silent "Ah", completely forgetting that I was last to check. Yoohyeon let go of me and impatiently grabbed my phone to see my results. I was anxiously tapping on the desk and waiting for her to refresh the page. The moment she did, I looked to the side and waited for a reaction from her and the others.

But I didn't hear anything.

I turned my head and saw Yoohyeon stare at my phone with a blank expression. So were the girls. I confusingly looked at Yoohyeon, then at the girls, and back at Yoohyeon, waiting for any kind of reaction. Even a sigh was fine but it was just.. silence.

Yoohyeon switched her gaze to me and pursed her lips, me understanding what the result could be.

"I'm sorry Jiu.."

"Meh, it's fine. I didn't expect to pass anyways."

That was a lie. I had high hopes that I might've actually done something good but I wasn't at all surprised by the outcome, just disappointed.

"Pfft-"

I heard a muffled sound coming from the laptop and when I turned my head at the screen, Siyeon couldn't help but burst out laughing. That caused everyone to laugh, especially Yoohyeon too. I tilted my head and Yoohyeon hugged me out of nowhere, leaving me even more confused.

"I know it's not a surprise that I failed the test, but why's everyone laughing so much?"

"Baby, look at your results."

Yoohyeon let go of the hug and handed me my phone. I didn't exactly want to check my results but everyone's reaction got me curious- What the fuck?

"I GOT 65%!?"

I shouted the moment I saw my results and laughed like crazy because I didn't exactly know how to react. I dropped my phone on the ground and leaned back on the chair, staring at Yoohyeon in shock. She was smiling and cheering for me, while I was admiring how happy she looked for me.

I faced the camera and gave everyone a quick salute before leaving the video call and turning back at Yoohyeon. She raised an eyebrow and let out a slight surprised noise when I suddenly picked her up like a bag of potatoes and threw her on the bed, sitting on top of her thighs and placing my hands on the bed above her shoulders for support.
