Both decided to shop for new clothes. They tried to dress casually for themselves to do not become obvious from the public. Irene and Wendy were both wearing white T-shirt paired with denim jeans, a hat and white sneakers. No matter what they do though, they both looked gorgeous.
They went to their usual favorite shopping stores where expensive clothes are being sold which means less people could afford equals to less people visible. Irene and Wendy separated ways but still within the same store. They were both calm as they choose their clothes peacefully away from the public eyes. They have decided to stop in one shopping center where most of their clothes were bought. New arrival came to the store 2 days ago too which means there were so much options to choose from. They were more than happy.
But after an hour of choosing and fitting the clothes, their peace ended instantly. It all started when Wendy's hearty laugh graced Irene's precious ears. She instantly looked for the source of her favorite laugh and caught the 2 female sales ladies entertaining the love of her life. As much as Irene wanted to thank the people around the store for assisting them well with extra entertainment, she also wanted to rip anyone's head for giving too much attention to her girlfriend. In Irene's dictionary, too much is defined as someone taking too much time of Wendy without her permission. And again, in her own dictionary unforgivable is someone that makes her Wendy laugh without her knowing. Right now what she's witnessing is both too much and unforgivable.
Irene subtly made a move to put this flirting scene in front of her end instantly.
"Son Seungwan, come here." She said loud and clear without even looking. Wendy immediately obeyed once she heard her without doubting anything happening to Irene's head. The smile from the two sales ladies' faces turned into frown.
"Yes?" Wendy asked as she approached Irene. Irene then turned to her with whatever piece of dress she took from the display and place right in front of the blonde faking she's studying whether it fits Wendy or not. She smirked as she glanced at the two frowning sales ladies.
"Uh, don't you think that's oversized for me?" Wendy stated an obvious fact as the dress was extra large in size.
"Yes. You're right." She then put back the dress on display and dropped all the clothes she found which she think was nice for her but because of those 2 flirty sales lady, Irene was no longer in the mood to buy them. "Nothing fits us here, let's go the other store in front."
"What? But let me pay for these clothes I've seen. These are really nice." Wendy argued as she looked at the clothes she picked from earlier.
"I said, let's go!" Irene glared at her. A sign that Wendy needed to abide or something would badly happen.
"O-okay." She dropped the clothes regrettably and immediately walked beside Irene to go to the other store.
When they transferred to another store, and both separated again as they roam around the display of clothes. Irene was more than happy as she picked new clothes that fit to her liking. She throw a few glances towards her girlfriend, as if checking whether there are threats to eliminate. But so far, everything went smoothly.
Not after half an hour when she saw a man assisting Wendy, flashing an incredibly bright smile and occassionally touching her arm. To Irene's dictionary, this is a form of flirting. Again, Irene dropped all the clothes and went straight towards her girlfriend.
"No. That's not good. You're not taking that!" Irene said waving her hand shooing away the sales man.
"What? Why? I think that was really cute on me." Wendy pouted as another dress she really liked gone out of reach.
"Everything looks cute on you, but not that." Irene pointed nonchalantly.
"Unnie.. we have wasted already 2 hours of time and we haven't bought anything. The clothes I picked earlier and just now were really fine, why don't I pick my clothes and pick yours?" Wendy huffed as she gets a bit annoyed at Irene's non sense wondering whether she's on her monthly period or whatever. But she's becoming unreasonable right now.
"We're done here. You may leave us." She said to the salesman before she turned to a now disappointed childlike female beside her. If Irene wasn't furious she'll think it was too cute of Wendy and probably kiss her right away. "Let's go to the other store."
When Irene was about to leave, Wendy held her wrist for her to stop.
"Joohyun unnie, is there a problem?" She asked and Wendy knows whatever problem that was needed to be resolved right now or else the day would end without them buying anything.
"There's none so let's go now before the sun sets." Irene walked away. She'll never admit that she was jealous.
Wendy then dragged her feet, shopping was already out of her mind. She just wanted to go home now.
When Irene and Wendy went inside a new store, the blonde went straight to get seated at the lounge area. She already lost her urge to buy new clothes, who knows when will Irene tell her to drop those clothes she picked again in a matter of time? She no longer wanted to waste time and energy.
Irene caught that action and she feels guilty. She knows how Wendy was so happy to go shopping with her earlier and now because of her jealousy everything went worst.
"Seungwan-ah, I'm sorry." She approached and seated beside the girl as she grabbed her waist.
"Unnie, not here. We're in public remember?" Wendy carefully reminded the other but didn't do anything to push her away at all.
"What? We're always hugging in public. They will probably assume that we're just super close friends like they all used to." Irene said in a flirty way as she placed her head to the other's left shoulder.
"Whatever, unnie." Wendy still disappointed not looking at her.
"Come on Seungwan. Let unnie make it up to you." She said huskily, her warm breath gracing the crook of Wendy's neck causing her to blush. This is becoming dangerous.
"U-unnie..." Wendy nervously looked left and right the store, trying to see whether someone is looking at them. "You're becoming too close."
"Why? I thought you said you want me always close to you?" Irene said seductively as her fingers intertwining with Wendy's. Irene is now side hugging her with a very possessive grip.
"I.. I did?!" Wendy gulped, why did they even ended up in this position? And worst in a public place?
"Yes." Irene was about to kiss Wendy on the neck when the blonde heard steps nearing them. Someone's coming their way.
Wendy immediately stood up along with Irene. She hurriedly hugged Irene to stop her from doing something more intimate at the same time it's an action that came to mind that would not hurt the latter's feelings by just pushing her away. She was very considerate of her girlfriend all the time. Wendy laughed awkwardly trying to change the mood to look friendly for the sales lady now in front of them.
"Ha-ha-ha you're so funny Joohyun unnie." Wendy acting with all her might praying to the gods that the sales lady won't sense anything weird.
She pats the Irene's back playfully while the latter just hugged her back and started drawing circles. "Uhm yes?" Wendy asked the sales lady as if not knowing what she intended to say or do.
"Hi Ms. Wendy and Ms. Irene, may I assist you in picking the clothes you like?" The saleslady smiled, professionally doing her work.
With that, Wendy thought that Irene was right and probably everyone just sees them as friends and nothing more. Well that's thanks to her instincts too that she swiftly noticed someone coming or else Irene would have made something out of what friends usually does that her awkward acting won't save them both. Like kissing on the neck or lips to lips. Knowing Irene very well, she knew it was bound to happen just earlier.
"No, we're fine. We'll just pick clothes ourselves. Right, Seungwan?" Irene turned her head just enough to face the sales lady, her head still resting on Wendy's shoulder and hands on her waist. Not letting any space in between.
"Uhm yeah. Well let's go now unnie." Wendy was about to push Irene away when the latter tightens her grip. This time Wendy knew that Irene does not want to let go.
"Joohyun unnie let go now so we could resume shopping." She said nervously while noticing that the sales lady was still in front of them, staring.
"You, is it weird shopping for clothes while we're hugging?" Irene called the attention of the sales lady whose smile still not wavering.
"No of course. I see a lot of close friends hugging and walking hand in hand just like you both. Last time we saw Ms. Taeyeon and Ms. Tiffany, they were like BFF goals." She said with sparkles in her eyes.
Irene and Wendy looked at each other knowingly. Even their couple sunbaes do such ridiculous thing as them. They can't help but giggle.
"Okay then. You may now leave us." Irene dismissed her. Before looking at a flushed Wendy.
"I'm sorry about earlier. I promise I won't stop you anymore. Just don't leave my side so I could watch over you." Irene said with a pleading look.
"But don't you think it's difficult to move around? I mean you could still watch over me if we walk side by side right?" She paused the started again as if realizing something. "And why do you need to watch over me anyway? We're just in one place."
Irene who doesn't want to admit she's jealous, retracted her arms from Wendy's waist and just transferred to Wendy's left arm with same amount of grip. Her head comfortably lying on Wendy's left shoulder. "Better?" She asked innocently.
"Well. Better, at least I could now breathe." Wendy teased.
"Sorry. I'll just watch you pick your clothes. I'll reschedule mine."
"Why?"
"To make it up to you. You were really disappointed earlier, right?"
"Well yeah. But that was earlier. Past is past." She showed Irene her reassuring smile.
"Really?" Irene jolted happily.
"Yeah. Your warmth is more than enough to make up on everything anyway." Wendy said as she wiggle her eyebrows gaining a giggle from Irene.
"You're so greasy. But I like it."
And there they resumed their shopping. Irene was already over the moon, busy latching on Wendy to welcome any jealousy.
Finally, they were able to buy some clothes.
