Honorary Student Council Member

for ggomowie who asked so nicely <3

««««-»»»»

"I told you," —Jin crossed his arms— "you can't be here," he said, voice as stern and as stiff as his posture. He stood directly between the doorway, effectively blocking a pouting Byulyi who had been trying—and failing—to enter the student council office for the past 10 minutes.

It was the second weekly official student council meeting but the first time Byulyi was trying to get inside their headquarters. He was surprised he even found the room since their headquarters, like all the classes in the old building, was relocated to this building.

"Why not? Irene-ssi's here," she mumbled, gesturing to Irene inside the room who was happily chatting away with Yongsun and Chorong.

Jin rolled his eyes. "She's VP of course she's here."

"Yong's here too."

"She's secretary."

"Then I'll be very quiet."

Jin clicked his tongue, an exasperated look on his face. "Byulyi."

Byulyi clasped her hands together in a plea. "I'll be quiet I promise."

Jin's eyes stared at a pleading Byulyi with a frown. He knew how hard-headed she could be when she wanted to and he honestly didn't have enough patience to deal with that today.

He turned around to look at the Secretary. "Yongsun-ssi? Help?"

"Byul-ah, get out."

"No."

Yongsun, likewise knowing full well how stubborn her friend was, gave a half-assed shrug. "I tried. Sorry Seokjin-ssi."

Jin opened his mouth to argue some more with Byulyi when Jaebom walked closer.

He placed a hand on the President's shoulder, momentarily distracting the latter from their intruder. "Jin, we should probably start the meeting already," he said.

"I'll be there in a minute."

Jaebom nodded, a tight-lipped smile on his lips. He started walking away but turned around again. "Just let her in. She probably means well. Right, Byulyi-ssi?"

Byulyi nodded vigorously, eyes shining earnestly at the one ally she found. As Jaebom returned to his seat, she beamed loudly at a frowning Jin whose scowl seemed to deepen from her smile. She slithered past him who couldn't do anything but sigh.

As Jin walked to the front of the room, he saw Byulyi walk towards Yongsun who shot Jin an apologetic smile but whose eyes twinkled with amusement. She flicked a dismissive hand at Byulyi, causing the latter to smile cheekily at her.

Jin reached the desk in front and the room stilled for a moment.

"Should we start?"

Only when the meeting was halfway did Jin had the chance to sit. They were done with the general details and it was now time for individual years to present their suggestions. He called first year representatives, Jungwon and Seoyoung, to the front.

Jin sat down on the seat nearest to him on the first row. He heard the sound of faint rustling and the soft tap tap taps of footsteps the moment he sat down. Metal scraped against the ground and a second later, Jin found Byulyi seated beside him.

"Aren't you going to sit beside Yongsun-ssi?"

"Nope," she said, plopping her bag on the ground next to her and placing her notebook on the desk.
