6 President Seungcheol's Deal

After the funeral, you went back to school. To your return, President Seungcheol wanted your immediate presence at the Student Council Office.

You stared at the door first before knocking. 'What does he want from me?' After the moment of staring, you took a deep breath and opened the door.

Seungcheol made a smile when he saw you open the door of the room. That smile made you felt shiver down to your spine.

"{Carat} come in." he said and you followed.

"Uhmm... I hear that you called for me President Seungcheol." You said and then gulped nervously.

"Condolence." He sadly said and you nodded.

"I saw you are with my cousin last time." He said continuing on writing some papers on his desk.

You blushed remembering that evening that Soonyoung comforted you and as he walked you home you met President Seungcheol and Soonyoung's father along the way. They both invited you to join them for dinner but you wanted to go home that time. They even thought you were Soonyoung's girlfriend.

"President Seungcheol, I'm not Soonyoung's girlfriend." You clarified.

He raised a brow at you, "I'm not even saying you're his girlfriend."

"But your face is giving me a hint that you think of it that way."

"No it isn't. My face is just handsome."

You felt a feeling that you wanted to hit this guy.

He stopped writing and looked at you, "I also wanted to sorry, even Uncle, because we didn't know your grandmother passed away that night, instead of comforting you we even teased you to Soonyoung and forced you to dinner even if you wanted to go home already. So forgive us for being shallow minded."

You smiled, "Don't apologize. It is also my fault for not informing you because I wanted you to have a happy and peaceful dinner. I also told Soonyoung not to worry about me and have fun with you guys."

He suddenly laughed awkwardly, "The truth is the dinner was really peaceful, silent and awkward but I think that dinner already brought happiness to my Aunt since he wanted to eat with Soonyoung ever since he came back."

"{Carat}." He called you and looked at you seriously. "Can you help me?"

"What kind of help?" you asked.

"If Soonyoung's mother isn't married to Jihoon's father, I'm just Soonyoung's cousin but they're both my cousins now so I'm greatly concerned about their relationship specially Soonyoung's relationship to his current family. I didn't want Soonyoung to be so far away from them." He sighed. "Uncle, who is his step-father, until now still hopes that Soonyoung will accept him. As a concern School President, friend, cousin, schoolmate and relative I wanted them to have a happy family."

Seungcheol stood up from his sit and walked towards the window and looked at a faraway sight, "I tried everything to make the two get along but I always failed until now I finally had an idea to make both of their teams perform together for the Festival but I lost my hope in that plan because when I talked to both teams they almost caused a war."

You remembered that time you excused them.

He faced you and walked towards you, "But a new hope came, I got this idea since you're the reason why Soonyoung had dinner with us after a lot of years."

Seungcheol held both of your hands, "{Carat} I want you to help me."

You looked at him so unsure of the situation.

"Help me get those two along; you're also concerned at the two of them."

You took a deep breath to process your thoughts. You like Jihoon and Soonyoung has become one of your friends, and of course this concerns you and worries you.

"You want Jihoon to be happy right? So help me?" with that look at his face you blushed.

He grinned, "You just have to make them do a join performance of their team for the Festival because I'm sure that their parents will watch plus it might be the start of their beautiful friendship."

"Fine, I'll help you. I really wanted the two of them to be happy. Plus Soonyoung also had helped me in facing something." You said, taking seriously this agreement.

"I'm really thankful {Carat}." Seungcheol said continuously shaking your hands.

'Perfect.' Seungcheol thought.

"How about you start persuading Jihoon first?" you froze to what he has said.

"I'll just start with Soonyoung." You suggested.

You felt him pinch both of your cheeks hardly.

"Are you an idiot or something? It is your time, chance and opportunity to talk to the person you like." He said pinching is harder.

"Ouch!" he let go of your cheeks.

"Can I ask something? I keep noticing that you have an idea that I have feelings for Jihoon. From whom did you know that?" you asked looking annoyed while gently rubbing your cheeks which are now red from the pinch not from blushing.

"From the Trio Rappers..." he answered.

'The Trio Rappers!? Mingyu, Wonwoo and Hansol, prepare to get my punishment later.'
