10 Years Apart | Wenreneseul

"I can't believe this!" Seulgi stomped her way to her seat in their classroom. Her aggravated presence can't go unnoticed by her bestfriend, who is her seatmate as well.

"It shouldn't be bad as you imagined it to be. Who knows, your soon to be younger sibling would turn out to be adorable." Irene said trying to lighten up her mood. Seulgi called her last night crying but mostly whining about what she described to be a disastrous news that her parents decided to adopt a new kid. But what does she know? Irene has a younger sister and she will never understand what an only child like Seulgi would feel about such matter. A matter that her parents suddenly dropped and what's worse was that, Seulgi's opinion didn't even count. Her parents already said the adopting papers were already near completed and that the new kid will be home with them by next week. Perhaps she could understand a bit of that disappointment of not having heard so she took back what she said. "Okay, maybe it is bad but what can you do about it? The new kid's probably being prepared to be delivered at your door."

"I hate mom and dad, they didn't even asked what would I feel about this. Or if I ever even wanted a sibling." Seulgi said as she sinks in her chair. It's only morning but she's already having a bad day.

"Did they mention if it was a boy or a girl?"

"Well, yeah. It's a girl and that's the worst!" Seulgi almost cried. Of course, she was an only child who's like a princess in their household, her parents attention were all on hers. But now? Not anymore. She can't imagine how she'll cope up with this at all.  It's awful that it was a girl and it's younger than her. Great! How can she compete with that?

"So if it's a boy, you'll be okay with it?" Irene probes.

"Maybe, and if it was older. Irene, I don't know what to do. Maybe it's my punishment for stealing desserts in the fridge when mom and dad said no." Seulgi fakes crying but it almost felt real to Irene. Perhaps this new kid could somehow change this childish Seulgi and become mature enough to bring out an unnie out of her. Irene thought that Seulgi surely is a great child but heck they are already in senior high school, 16 to be exact, and she acts like a baby most of the time, if not spacing out. But hey, Irene knows she act one as well but not as much as Seulgi, she knows her limit and the other doesn't.

The teacher came in to their class and their conversation halted at once.

---

"Are you okay with it now?" Irene asked Seulgi as they await for the new kid's arrival to the Kang family's household. Irene was not sure how she ended up in this situation, in the living room where Seulgi's parents asked them to wait, but maybe she was just too soft for her bestfriend when she begged for her saying she needed her at this moment. Irene obliged to the request but didn't forgot to ask permission to the elders of course.

"I don't know. What if she happened to be a freak, ugly and disgusting? What if she's a snob, a whiner, and has attitude problem?" Seulgi said as she imagined the worst. Yes, she hated this kid already even before she could see her but she can't imagine how she'll become of she turned out to be something even more hateable? Ugh.

Irene laughed. "Where is that judgment even coming from? Seulgi, she's only 6 years old. And besides, it's your future little sister not your future lover."

"I'm not judging, I'm just just expecting the worst."

"It would be better if you expect the best. But knowing your stand about the kid, that's impossible right now, huh? Hmm..." Irene sighed and her imagination was soaring as well with the what ifs of Seulgi. Her bestfriend's negativity is rubbing off on her. Sure, she likes and takes care of her own little sister and that she likes other 'cute' kids but not if they happened to be not so adorable and whiny that brings only headaches and heart attacks. She's easily startled by anything so she hopes the kid would be not so energetic or else, she's done in here and she'll go straight home.

"Oh my god! They're here!" Seulgi stood up from her seat and started pacing back and forth the moment she heard the car's engine.

Irene was left amused by her bestfriend, it looked like she's actually watching a panicked father waiting outside the labour room. Irene laughed and Seulgi automatically glared at her.

The front door opened before Seulgi was able to attack Irene with words and she had lost it.

"We're here!" Seulgi's mother announced happily. She was way too happy, as far as Seulgi could remember. She somehow felt a pang of jealousy building inside her.

The two elders went inside to which Seulgi and Irene went puzzled as to where the new kid was. It took them a few seconds to realize that the little girl was actually hiding behind the father's back. Her little hands grasping the pants of the man, afraid of the two teenagers in front of her.

Seulgi was eager to see her face but it was difficult for her. Her curiosity is killing her and Irene felt the same.

"Don't be afraid Seungwan, they're your big sisters Seulgi and Irene. They wanted to see you." The mother said playfully, obviously caught up by Seungwan's cuteness.

Seulgi and Irene thought that the name sounded boyish but that thought immediately ended when they finally saw little Seungwan's shy stature.

She was nothing but adorable. Seulgi admitted, fighting a squeal. She glanced at Irene who's still sitting on the sofa, checking if she caught her building adoration for the new kid, but then she realized that it wasn't only her that was charmed by Seungwan. Irene was completely caught off guard as well.  Seulgi smiled then turned and examined the new kid again. Seungwan's face was so endearing with that shy expression and she wonders what would she look like if she finally smiled. For a six year old kid, Seungwan was actually really small and the big white cottony dress that she's wearing gave off a squishy feeling. Seulgi can't help but wonder if she's actually real, her cuteness was something she could compare to any cute pokemon character. Seungwan's cheeks are so puffy that she can't wait to poke. Her eyes were so inviting which offers only soft gazes  that you'll be left with an impression that she's kind and easy to get along with even for a child. Damn Seulgi was supposed to be angry with her, what was happening?



"Good girl, Seungwan. Now go to your sisters while we prepare our lunch okay?" The father pats Seungwan's head earning a little giggle from the girl to which Irene and Seulgi immediately melted from the scene. Their eyes were both sparkling, anticipating to play with the new kid.

"Seulgi, I entrust to you your little sister. Be a good unnie and play with her, okay?" The mother said almost threateningly but smiled along the way when she saw Seulgi's reaction towards Seungwan. She was relieved that perhaps there's really nothing to worry about. She then turned to Irene who was also radiating the excitement to play with the younger girl. "Go play with her too, Irene. Please take care of our Seungwan if Seulgi happened to snap at her." Irene nodded earnestly.

"I kinda doubt that though." The father laughed after seeing her daughter, Seulgi. Then they both excused themselves leaving Seungwan standing awkwardly at her original place with eyes gazing at her.

"Come here, baby. Come." Seulgi gestured Seungwan to come closer to them and Irene finally stood up from her seat and went close to Seulgi.

"Looked like she doesn't look like a freak, ugly and disgusting. She's far from it, isn't she?" Irene smirked at her friend to which Seulgi just rolled her eyes.

"Yeah whatever."

Seulgi then looked at her little sister and transformed into a happy sunshine instantly, forgetting Irene's remarks. "Come here, Seungwan. Let's play?"

Little Seungwan finally gave in and started walking towards her. Irene and Seulgi were enthusiastic just by watching the little one walking towards them like it's the most adorable thing in the world. They both can't help but smile however it immediately changed into horror when Seungwan tripped on her way.

Holy Shit.

"Omo!!!" Irene got her first, a second after Seungwan's body meet the ground. She put her up in her arms and tapped Seungwan's back delicately. "Ssh.. it's okay, darling. Don't cry." She hugged her and comforted her but Seungwan wasn't really crying. She was fighting it.

"Yah! You're not her older sister! Give her to me, I'll be the one to comfort her." Seulgi instantly snatched her little sister away from Irene.

"Why are you so jealous? I'm not competing to be her older sister here. I was just fast I caught her first." Irene argued but quite saddened that the little ball of warmth vanished from her arms.

"Sorry, Rene. I just... maybe I just wanted to be the one she'll like first. You know.. maybe it's the older sister kind of thing? I don't know..." Seulgi explained herself almost inaudible but Irene understood. She was sure that Seulgi was having a sudden change of heart towards the sibling thing and she wouldn't really ask how or why just because she had witnessed it with her own eyes. Seungwan was really charming.

"I understand Seul, I won't get in your way of course. You're her older sister after all." Irene winked at her. They laughed for a few second sharing this moment together but was swayed away by a little adorable voice.

"I'm okay, unnie." Seungwan spoke as she kissed the cheek of Seulgi.

For a few seconds, Seulgi and Irene looked at each other, trying to comprehend what had just occured and then they look back to Seungwan.

"Kyaaaaaa! You're so cuuute!!!" Seulgi finally lose it and she hugged the fluffball even tighter, playfully swinging her away.

"Yah! How about Irene unnie? I was the one who got your first. This unnie wants a kiss too!" Irene pouted acting like a baby. She really wanted some kiss from little Seungwan as well.

But Seulgi kept the kid busy so she had not heard the request. Damn, Seulgi surely is enjoying this. Irene was left sad the entire day, it haunted her not having a kiss from the child.

---

"You looked really happy." Irene smiled as Seulgi approached the chair beside her. They were quite early today for the morning class, so they have time to chat about their favorite topic named Seungwan.

"Seriously, it has been just a few weeks and I'm so delighted by her. I didn't know I needed a little sister like this until she came to our life. I can't believe I was against at first about having a sibling. But Seungwan's so adorbs I can't stop myself from playing with her and making her happy." Seulgi said with so much joy and Irene was really happy for her.

Irene witnessed how Seungwan changed Seulgi for the good. Before, Seulgi was always spacing out for unknown reason to her but lately she's very attentive at everything and when she asked about it, Seulgi explained to her that she once spaced out while Seungwan was left in her care and the little one bumped her head on the edge of a chair making her cry out loud. It made Seulgi's heart broken right away and she had swear to become more attentive for Seungwan. Irene sees Seulgi becoming responsible and thoughtful as well, before she just wanted everything to herself but now she always thinks of Seungwan. The candy that she bought, the hair clip she treasured, and even the flowers being given to her by her admirers were all given to Seungwan after school. Speaking of after school too, Seulgi does not hang out anymore in the karaoke, shopping malls or wherever until late night. She always went straight home playing with her little sister. Seungwan was really the angel brought to them to correct whatever Irene and Seulgi's parents can't correct with her bad habits before.

"Aw. I wish to see Seungwan too. That little muffin I'm missing her so much." Irene said. The last time she saw the child was when she was brought to the Kang household. After that, Irene wasn't able to find time to visit the household due to exams week. "I could only hope she still remembers me."

"Of course, I always talk to her about you too you know. She wouldn't forget you, I won't let her." Seulgi encouraged her and Irene was ecstatic about it.

"Finally I could pay her a visit later after school. Thank god exams are all over today."

"Oh about that, can you come home without me and just play with Seungwan first? I was asked by mom to buy some groceries, Seungwan's needs to be exact." She pleads.

"Sure then. I could finally have Seungwan all for myself." Irene grinned, teasing her. She knew how Seulgi became over protective of Seungwan in such a short time they've spent together.

"Ya! You don't you ever brainwash my Seungwan! She liked me more than you coz I'm her big sister."

Irene laughed. "It's a good thing that Seungwan adjusted so well to her new environment. She isn't a snob, a whiner or has an attitude problem like you once imagined her to be."

"Aish. You really like bringing up the words I said in the past, huh?" Seulgi said annoyed but soon her features softens when she thought about how Seungwan's like a people's person. She's really not picky when it comes to people, well at first meeting she's shy and all, but once you got her trust and attention she could really get so bubbly. And it was painful for Seulgi to watch that Seungwnan likes everyone kind to her, because Seulgi just wants the kid all to herself. But she knows that it's impossible so she worked on at least being Seungwan's favorite person, that would be enough for her.

"Later, Seul. Teacher's here." Irene announced as she saw the teacher coming to their way.

---

Irene knocked on the door only to be opened by Seulgi's mom with a bright smile on her face.

"Irene! It's been a while, I'm glad you're able to come by." Mother Kang hugged Irene and welcomed her inside. Irene was always welcome to this household and she's more than thankful for them.

"Sorry, Auntie. But exams are over so I could spend more time here." She smiled genuinely.

"I'm glad about that. I'm sure Seulgi and Seungwan would be happy to have your company in the house."

Irene looked around the living room, she was checking where she could find an adorable ball of fluff. And Mother Kang was quick to catch Irene's troubles. "She's upstairs, inside her room. The one next to Seulgi's room. She's sleeping right now but since it's already dinner, please help me wake her up."

Irene carefully went upstairs as instructed by Seulgi's mom. To be honest, she's quite not feeling good about waking up Seungwan. Of course who in their right mind would want to disturb a child sleeping? That's probably heartbreaking to deprive someone a good sleep and worst for any child? Irene doesn't have the heart to do so especially imagining how peaceful Seungwan's face might be sleeping.

The moment Irene stepped into Seungwan's room, a pair of delighted eyes targeting her made her captivated. She was surprised that Seungwan was actually wide awake opposite of what her mother assumed. It didn't took long for Irene to notice the brightness of the child, jumping constantly upon recognition of her presence. Her doubts of Seungwan forgetting her was tossed immediately outside the window, and she smiled.

"Hello there, little Seungwan. Guess who's here?" She slanted a bit and clapped her hand as she gesture the child to come and welcome her with a hug. And being adorable as Seungwan could ever be, she made her way to Irene while skipping on her tracks excitedly. Finally this missing unnie she once got acquainted from a long ago had made an appearance in front of her again. Irene was quite impressed at how sharp Seungwan's memory in recognizing people.

The child literally threw herself in Irene's embrace that garnered a giggle from the teenager. "Aw, Seungwan you missed me that much?" She smiled and closed her eyes as she succumb to the comforting smell oozing from the child. She smelled like a baby. As much as Irene wanted to tighten her embrace over Seungwan, she knows she'll hurt her. So she had to control herself from the urge of squeezing the child due to her irresistible cuteness and pull back.

"Do you know who I am?" Irene started with a smile that doesn't go away the moment she saw Seungwan.

For a few seconds, she witnessed how the child tilted her head slightly and furrowed her eyebrows, a sign that she was trying to recall something. Irene immediately fight her urge yet again.

Aw, this cute adorable little sunshine.

"Pretty unnie." Seungwan pointed at her with a wide smile on her face, which Irene was slightly taken aback. She imagined the child to give up right after she feigned of recalling something from a memory that doesn't actually existed. Not that she had expected Seungwan to really recall her name anyway but to describe her like that was something she didn't saw coming. She remembers Seungwan as someone very shy so... the good remark from her was something that actually made her day.

"Aw. Really? You think I'm pretty?" She pinched Seungwan's cheeks playfully earning a chuckle from her before nodding in agreement.

"Irene unnie is pretty."

Irene gasped upon hearing her name. Aw did she really said my name? And calling me pretty at the same time? Aw Seungwan is so cute. What on earth did Seulgi tell her little sister to remember me this way?

"Up. Up."

Seungwan gestured to Irene that she wanted to be lifted up and so she did despite knowing that even though Seungwan is little for a 6 year old, she's still no longer a lightweight. But Irene didn't mind, just because the child was so endearing and it melts her heart once Seungwan pecked on her left cheek.

Aw. Can this child be even more adorbs?  I want to take her home now. 

---

Seulgi joined the dinner after half an hour that Irene had spent with Seungwan. Then they all gathered and shared dinner together. Mother Kang and Seulgi took turns to feed Sungwan even though the child was constantly giving them both signal that she could actually feed herself just fine. But the two were quite worried that Seungwan might choke herself. Irene find it funny considering how Seungwan was pouting all that time she's being fed just because the adult around her were getting super protective of her even in her own food. She couldn't blame them though, if by chance she was seated near the chair of Seungwan then she might have done the same. Having a cute child in the family surely does bring joy and entertainment in the family especially when the child was actually very tamed unlike any other spoiled and hard headed ones that brings nothing but headaches and constant heart attacks. Irene's aware and she knows that the Kang family knew too how precious and rare of a kind Seungwan was. Being able to adopt someone like that makes them so lucky.

After the dinner and helping a bit on the chores, Irene and Seulgi played with Seungwan upstairs. Irene decided to stay the night as insisted by the Kangs since it'll be Saturday anyway tomorrow. The fact that she's been like part of the family, some of her clothes were already stocked in the house so there's no problem if any sudden overnights occured.

"Even though Seungwan has a room of her own, she always sleeps here at night."

"Oh, was it because she's scared?"

"Nope. She's a brave little girl, Rene."

"So you asked her and complied with your request."

"Can't help it. Never really thought I would be this fond of having a little sis, even though she's not my sister by blood. I don't know, maybe because Seungwan is so likeable that it's easy for me to adjust and accept her as part of our family." Seulgi said as she checks her little sister watching cartoon on the TV.

Irene also gazed at the child and she couldn't agree more to Seulgi's statement. There was just something about Seungwan that drew them close to her. If it were just any other kid, she thinks it would be impossible to have this urge to get closer to her in just a small amount of time. There really has to be something and she just couldn't point it out directly yet.

"Maybe..."

Irene looked at her bestfriend. "Maybe what?"

"Maybe she's my soulmate." Seulgi concluded and sheepishly grinned at the idea. To Irene, this type of grin is out of Seulgi's odd behavior when she's settling in for an idea that wasn't really well thought of. Something that just popped into her head and settle with it without proofs just to end an unendurable curiosity.

"I'm guessing you'll grow into a lady having a sister complex." Irene joked but this is by far a guess out of observation of the now. Seulgi is becoming more and more attached to Seungwan as day passes by.

"Yah. I just wanted the best for Seungwan. She's my lil sis after all." Seulgi said with a smug on her face. It's like saying, 'she's my lil sis so I do whatever I want so back off' kind of way.

Irene laughed. "Aw, too bad for Seungwan's future lover. I'll pray for his soul." She feigned praying.

Meanwhile, Seulgi was flabbergasted, eyes almost popping as she heard Irene. Realizations came gushing in and it caused her panic. "Omygod! Rene, my baby Seungwan is too young for that!"

"What? Time flies so fast, one thing you know Seungwan's already keeping a lover." She continued teasing.

"Irene, you'll be the death of me. I won't let that happen. Omygod I can't even imagine." Seulgi said with eyes starting to glisten due to the tears forming as she watches Seungwan still busy with TV. Her imagination travelling about the far future and Irene can't help but release her high pitch laugh enough to startle the little one.

"Pretty unnie? Are you okay?" Seungwan asked softly while her eyebrows furrowed. Concern was showing from her face and the two teenager was swooned.

"Sorry Seungwan, I made you worried. I'm okay, I just really laugh weirdly. Go watch TV again." Irene assured the little one and smiled at her. Seungwan then nodded upon understanding and resumed watching but not after she smiled back at her.

Upon watching the two's exchange, Seulgi was definitely not happy. "Holy cow, Irene. What are you teaching my lil sis to call you?"

"Come on, Seul. I don't know what you're talking about. I thought you're the one telling things about me to her?" Irene defended.

"I did tell her about you but never once I instructed her to call you pretty unnie?"

"Oh." The only sound that came out from Irene's mouth.

"Don't 'oh' me, you flirt. Stop flirting with my Seungwan, Irene. She's only 6 years old." Seulgi exageratedly reacted. Perhaps it's the sister complex kicking in but that's way too severe, Irene thought. Just because Seungwan called her pretty doesn't mean she earned it by flirting. Yes, Irene has a reputation of being a playgirl at school but there's no way she would stoop low and pick on sweet and innocent little boys and girls.

"Seulgi, stop accusing me of such. There's no way I'm gonna play with kids." That sounded a bit off so she corrected. "I mean I will play with her but not the play I play at school. Ugh, you know what I mean right? I swear, don't accuse me like this, I suddenly feel awful of a person."

Seulgi eyed her. "If Seungwan grew up into a beautiful lady, which I know she will, don't even think about it." She stated like she was joking but it came off like she's actually threatening.

"Oh god, Seulgi. Stop! I won't okay? She's only a kid! Do you really think I would  do that to Seungwan?"

"Promise?" Seulgi has to be sure.

Irene looked at her in disbelief, "Seulgi may I remind you, I'm your bestfriend since we were kids. You should know me by now."

"Exactly. I know you, so promise me pleeeeaase?" Seulgi wasn't the type to act tough for a long time so this time she settled in for an aegyo to have her way.

"Augh. Fine! You're disgusting good for nothing bestfriend accusing me of things." Irene gave in and pinky swore with Seulgi, earning the bear's signature smile where her facial features forming thin curves. She's a real emoji and Irene giggled.

Seulgi was satisfied and she joined Seungwan in watching. Meanwhile, Irene contemplated a bit. She watches the two from behind, she can't help but wonder about Seulgi's words. She's not the type to be into young ones right? There's no such trace in her dating history so why would Seulgi say such? Was she joking? But why did she want her to promise? Sister complex, it has to be. Then Irene's attention was fully caught when Seungwan's head tilted left and right then turned to her.

Is she looking for me?  She thought.

Irene observed Seungwan giving her signals to come to their side. She was adorably displaying her cute dreamy eyes, puffy cheekbones, and bright smile like usual. Features of Seungwan that are very inviting, enough for Irene to do whatever the child wants her to do. A smile crept her face and forgotten what she had been contemplating about as she stood up and walk her way to Seungwan and Seulgi's side.

Off Shoulder | Wenrene

Irene has done it again, and Wendy couldn't take away her eyes from her mobile phone. Apparently, someone posted yet another enticing photo of her not only for Wendy's eyes but for all. As far as she could recall, she have warned the older female to do not post something daring to her SNS account and her excuse was because she wasn't around her. A lame one and a bit confusing, but she couldn't really tell that she's selfish when it comes to seeing Irene in her sexiest form. Well, everything Irene does is sexy in Wendy's eyes  even if she's just normally breathing or just blinking.

Wendy thought that she made Irene agree to her by nodding her head, but what she's seeing now is unbelievable. To be fair, Wendy isn't really the kind of girlfriend that wanted to control everything about Irene. Whatever the latter wants, she obeys or give in. Luckily for Wendy, Irene is a type of girlfriend that doesn't do anything that would make her agitated, angry or jealous. They understood each other very well which is why they have been together now for so long, 4 years to be exact.

But that proud thought about her girlfriend diminishes the moment she sees Irene's latest post from their La Rouge concert in Fukuoka, Japan. Since she's still recovering from her injury, Wendy wasn't able to come with them to perform. As much as Wendy wanted to keep Irene to herself, probably by covering her with a blanket most of the time, she can't just do so because her girlfriend is way too beautiful and sexy to be hidden from the world. She is proud of her, but sometimes Irene could still be that idol wanting to tease her fans as a kind of fan service. And that teasing is impossible not to be directed to her as well. She could only sigh and probably pray to every gods out there that Irene would stop showing more and more skin.

She messaged Irene after drooling over her latest photos on IG.

"I saw your post, I thought we agreed you'd stop or at least lessen showing your skin. That is too much" Wendy huffed as she writes her message.

"So you like what you see?" Irene replied quickly. Wendy was sure Irene is yet again doing her playful antics towards her. Irene knows how to play her game, and win it.

"I do like it, probably way too much. But I thought you'd listen to my warning. I don't want them seeing most of your skin." Wendy was now pouting while she typed, and Irene could sense that right away.

"That's the most they could see, babe. The rest are for your eyes only." Irene replied that made Wendy flushed. Damn this girl knows how to wrap her around her fingers. She was sure the girl on the other line was enjoying this coversation way too much as winking and evil emoji followed her message.

"Yah!" Wendy does not know how to get back on such kind of message from her girlfriend. It was true though, she have seen everything that Irene has to offer and just by thinking about it she can't help but feel over the moon.

"Don't worry, Seungwan. I'm all yours, just make all my post your motivation to quickly recover and come by my side and stop me from posting." She dared. That was exactly her intention, Irene knows that Wendy is very protective of her and she misses her presence so much. Irene always do her best to help Wendy in many ways for her to recover, be it by feeding her, helping her change clothes, support her during her physical therapy and as an emotional support to her as well. But it was just too impossible to rush her recover because she knew all too well that healing takes time.

Even so, she'll continue to support and take care of her. And recently as if a light bulb pop inside her head, an idea of posting daring pics and sexy dance vids of her on instagram came to her mind. That was to make her girlfriend get motivated to do her therapy successfully. She knows Wendy is having a hard time in her healing process and in order for her to stay inspired, she has to make her spirit alive most of the time. And Irene was proven right with Wendy getting even more alive and motivated when she saw her reaction towards her recent IG posts. Now she can't stop teasing Wendy. It amuses her how Wendy was reacting, it just made her miss her even more whenever she's not by her side.

"Just you wait Bae Joohyun, I swear I'll cover you up with any blanket out there when I get back to your side." Wendy outraged on the phone. "Or maybe I'll mark your skin so you won't show them."

Irene can't help but giggle at the reply, it gets her very excited and can only anticipate what the other could tell more. She knows Wendy's choice of words are now driven by her over protective self.

"I can't wait, Seungwan. I love you." Irene needed to tell her that all the time. She needs to remind her that no matter what, it is Wendy whom she loves and no one else. For this case Irene knows that those three words would make it up for her teasing. She knows by that she'll be forgiven.

Psycho | Wenrene

"What's wrong with you?! I don't know what to do with you anymore!" Irene enraged, voice echoed the entire room.

"What? In case you forgot, you're the one who started this." Wendy retorted back in the same manner.

"For god sake! Seungwan I'm your girlfriend! And a girlfriend does not want to witness any form of betrayal from their partner! You should have known that before you even agreed to start this relationship with me!"

Both Wendy and Irene came back from their schedule, they were both chosen to do an MC job with Eric Nam as special guests in a music show. Once the main door swung open from their dorm, Irene immediately exploded and thrown Wendy all the grudge she held back during the show as she noticed the unbearable closeness of the two.

"Betrayal?! Do you hear yourself? I told you, oppa was just being friendly because it's been long since our song collaboration and today we meet again! I've explained that to you earlier right? You nodded okay, so what are you complaining now? You're giving me a headache." Wendy ranted as she stomped her way to settle on the sofa.

"Friendly?" Irene snorted. "You call that friendly? When his face was like all over you the entire time? That's stupid of you to even call that friendly!" The older woman stood firmly in front of the sitting female on the sofa, her hands on her waist and eyes shooting daggers. If looks could kill then Wendy must have been dead by now.

"I'm so tired of you and your jealousy! You're becoming unreasonable! I'm losing my mind every time you're being like this!" Wendy's veins on her neck went visible as she expressed her extreme emotions. She's radiating the same anger as the latter.

"So, you're tired of me?!" Irene scoffed as if not believing what she's hearing. She should be the one telling that to her and not the other way around, she thought. "Then the feeling is mutual! I can't believe I dated an asshole like you! I should have known better! I deserved better than you, better than this rotting relationship!" She added while raising her right hand ready to slap the other. But before the hit could land on Wendy's face, she stopped right away. Despite the intensity of her anger and spur of venomous words, she could not bring herself to hurt the other at all. Her eyes shed tears while glaring at Wendy who's left agape to her choice of words and action.

"So you want to hurt me physically now? Then go ahead!" She stood up and harshly grabbed Irene's hand and helped her to do what the latter had intended to. Wendy started hitting herself with the use of Irene's hand. "I can't believe you're saying that now as if I forced you in this relationship with me! Yeah maybe you're right! You should have chosen your other suitors instead of me in the first place! Your suitors who are rich, famous, better looking and more importantly.. are all men! Who knows? They might have longer patience than mine!" Wendy was trying to keep a strong front but the latter's words were too damaging for her to handle. She then painfully looked at Irene who's struggling to retrieve her hand from hitting her. Wendy immediately stopped, shoved Irene lightly and walked away to her bedroom.

Irene's legs weakened after that and dropped on the floor. She cried heavily with her palms shaking covering her face.

"Whoah! Whoah! Seungwan, what's happening. Why are you guys so loud?!" Seulgi asked the moment she bumped to Wendy in the hallway. The blonde didn't dare to look at her and went straight to her room. She slammed the door closed expressing the greatness of her pain.

Seulgi did not pry anymore once she saw Irene on the carpeted floor in the living room. She hurriedly went to her side and helped her to move on the sofa. Seulgi quickly understood the situation. She knew that this was yet another fight between the couple, just like the previous days. The first time they heard and witnessed the lovers' quarrel, Seulgi, Joy and Yeri weren't able to speak normally. Their faces shows immense  worry for the couple. The 3 loved and supported the relationship and they could only wish for their long lasting happiness. However, they noticed how the couple's fights were becoming frequent which ignites their worry and fear that anytime they would see the two fall apart. As much as they wanted to help them resolve things, they just couldn't do so for they respect both person's privacy and decision over their own relationship. They could only pray for the betterment of the couple.

"Unnie, it's okay. Whatever happened, I know both of you will resolve this together. You guys just needed to cool down." Seulgi comforted Irene who's still non stop bawling. Joy and Yerim went out of their rooms as well to learn what's happening but halted and remain on the side as Seulgi eyed them and shook her head.

---

The next day, the group were scheduled to do a guesting for a variety show. Seulgi thought this type of work was untimely because of the couple who are refusing to talk or even look at each other. Joy and Yeri tried their best to brighten up the mood and Seulgi did the same knowing that they cannot do anything about them. Luckily, both Wendy and Irene know how to set aside their personal problems and work professionally. But that doesn't mean every words thrown last night were forgotten.

It was during their break the tension was raised yet again, when EXO's Suho who happened to be included in the guests of the variety show spoke to the members at their waiting room. He seemed to be smiley to all but the attention he's giving was obviously more for Irene. Wendy wanted to just ignore, however knowing Suho was one of those suitors of Irene before made it hard for her to do so. Especially after Irene blurted that she should have chosen better than her. It really made Wendy's insecurities resurface, it felt like there was an open wound inside her heart. Even if Irene did not meant her words, the damage has already been done.

Irene was casual though, despite Suho being a natural flirt to her, she didn't linger her gaze and smile towards him or do any actions that would leave the guy hopeful. She was cautious of her actions and Wendy was able to catch her glances towards her as if showing discomfort.

Wendy does not know if that discomfort was caused by Suho's presence or hers. But considering their fight last night, maybe it was her after all. Wendy wasn't even sure if Irene and her are still together so she felt like she lost the right to move to Irene's side and take her attention away from anyone. The last thought prompts her to politely excuse herself and went outside the room to give them space.

"Seungwan."

Wendy stopped from walking in the hallway when she heard her call her name. Irene's voice was back to being soft and lovely to Wendy's ears. She turned around to meet her gaze.

"Hey." She smiled but she couldn't bring to wear the one displaying from ear to ear.

"Can we talk?" Irene said softly as if testing the waters.

"Sure." Wendy gave in thinking that this could be their chance to clear whatever that is left between them. "Let's go to an empty waiting room." She started walking again with Irene behind her.

---

On the other room, Wendy slumped comfortably on the sofa. She could feel the heaviness of eyes as well as the weariness of her body. She wasn't able to sleep well last night, thanks to Irene.

"You okay?" Irene asked as she occupied the sofa in front of the tired Wendy.

"Yeah, just a bit sleepy."

Irene could tell, Wendy was obvious how she's having a hard time to stay awake now. She was always an early sleeper and she knew very well that their fight caused her the lack of energy.

"We still have an hour break, do you want to take a nap first?"

"No, I'm good. So what are we gonna talk about?" Wendy no longer beat around the bush and went straight at it.

Before Irene could talk, she sighed deeply. "About last night... I'm sorry. I was carried away by my jealousy and anger that I spit out words that shouldn't have said. I hope you didn't take it seriously." 

Wendy remained silent and looked anywhere else but the girl in front. Irene took this as cue to talk more and explain her side. 

"I really didn't know what I was saying and it all dawned to me how stupid it was to say those things just to hurt you back. I know it was childish but I was really hurt too and afraid that you'll be taken away from me." She was fighting back the tears by blinking many times. "I'm really sorry, Seungwan. Please say something." 

The silence was torturing Irene, she's nervous how Wendy took her harsh words last night and she's afraid everything would end right then and there. 

"We've been fighting a lot lately and I'm contemplating where the problem is coming from." Wendy started. Their eyes finally met. "After what you said last night, I realized that maybe the reason was you never wanted to be with me in the first place... that everything was just a mistake for you." Wendy's lips quiver, the pain in her chest arising yet again.

"No. That's not true, Seungwan. I love you so much, way too much that I cannot imagine a life without you. I haven't felt this way to anyone and I know I'll never will if it isn't you." Irene's eyes started pouring tears as she approached Wendy on the other side of the sofa. Clasping both of her hands with hers, she continued. "Believe me, there's no one out there I would choose than you. You're all that I needed and wanted." She embraced Wendy tightly as if her life depended on her. 

"B-but.." 

"Please Seungwan, forgive me." Irene struggling to talk as she's crying too much, it took all her energy to embrace Wendy even tighter causing the latter to cough.

"I-Irene, I can't breathe." She tapped the girl's back.

"S-sorry." Irene then loosen her embrace but still didn't let go.

"You should know how much I love you too, Joohyun. Maybe more than you'll ever know. And I will not do something that would hurt you, I will never betray you. Eric oppa was just a friend, a co-worker from before. That's all there is." Wendy explained gaining a nod from the other female.

"I know. I'm sorry." 

"It just hurts me when you're doubting my loyalty to you." Wendy finally breakdown and cried. 

Irene panicked at the situation. She immediately crawled on Wendy's lap, legs wrapped around her waist and resettling her embrace upfront. She rubbed the back of Wendy, trying to calm her and her head lays on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Seungwan. Just please give me another chance. Don't leave me." 

"But no matter how painful it is lately, I still choose to be with you and I still do after what happened. Because I just love you way too much." Wendy managed to say despite the difficulty. She nestled her face to Irene's neck as if smelling her scent up close would give her strength. "Ain't it weird to feel this way?" 

"It probably is weird but I feel the same way as you do. It makes me go crazy for you." Irene confessed outright. 

"Well I'm all yours, Joohyun. That's why we're together right? Are we still together though?" 

Irene pulled away to face Wendy. Both eyes reflecting each other's doubt and sorrow. 

"D-do you not want to be together with me anymore?" Irene had to ask while her heart was pounding so hard from her chest. She knows to herself that she will never be able to move on from her, but she had to respect Wendy's decisions too. So she just silently prayed and hoped that Wendy would not choose to break her heart even more.

Wendy didn't think twice, she caressed Irene's face and pull her in for a passionate kiss. The latter kissed back with the same amount of hunger. They shared a kiss as if it was their first and last. No words needed to come out from their mouth anymore to say how madly in love they are still for each other. They understood that they have chosen to stay together no matter what consequences there will be. Be it another fight or whatever else, they will accept suffering through the bad times together than to be apart.

"Seriously, you unnies are so strange." Joy giving a 'I don't get these two' vibe while she's looking at Wendy and Irene who are currently gawking at each other. The smile on their faces were unbreakable.


"...and foolish" Yeri added shortly shaking her head in disbelief.


"But they are cute though." Seulgi said in contrary of the negative teasing remarks from the maknae line.


Wendy and Irene just laughed at them, still cuddling. "You girls are so funny. One day you'll understand us." The eldest shrugged.


Both Joy and Yeri exchanged looks before they united in making a gagging sound.


"Ew. Never." Joy said playfully.


They all shared another round of laughter. Everyone seemed bright whenever the couple is also in their happy moments.


"It's disturbing though. Both of you always fight like it was your last and then hug each other the next day as if nothing really happened. How is that even possible?" Seulgi asked so innocently that finally gained a serious attention from the couple. But before Wendy and Irene could respond, the youngest members dealt with her.


"Well... it's obvious they just like each other way too much that they can't stay angry with each other for too long." Yeri said as a matter of fact.


"They are control freaks, they just wanted to control each other so they need to make up right away." Joy said rolling her eyes.


"Yah! You two, can you all stop?" Wendy retaliated, she need this topic to end or else she'll die out of embarrassment. Irene could only gaze at her lovingly, amused over the reaction her lover is giving.


"I still don't get it though." Seulgi stated while she slowly trying to understand what had been said.


"You don't need to worry about us, Seul. It's alright if we fight each other, it's normal for any couple. In the end, we'll be okay as long as we love each other." Irene finally spoke, reassuring the still confused girl.


"That's not normal, unnie. If I were you two, I--" Joy was interrupted by Irene's glare, enough for her to shut up.


Then their manager, lyricist and music producer joined inside the conference room, saving Joy's life from a threatening Irene. They all gathered because SM's upper management had scheduled their comeback in 2 months so they have to rush and start brainstorming for a concept.


"So what are you guys talking about?" Their manager asked, curious why everyone was so vibrant. By that time, Wendy and Irene separated in a space enough to make each other breathe like normal friends do. It was only the members who knew about their relationship after all.


"Nothing. We're just discussing for possible lyrics on our latest song." Irene professionally dodge the previous topic by using her leader position. Wendy could only smile proudly.


"Well, our concept will be around the Velvet theme so we need something lush and you know kind of bit dark. So, what were your ideas you said?" The music producer asked.


The members talked with their eyes knowingly. Garnering enough signs how to properly respond to that inquiry. They were surprised that it was Seulgi who spoke first.


"What do you call a person that stays in a relationship even if it was already toxic?" Seulgi asked leaving the girls wide eyed. They forgot that Seulgi is the type of person that does not understand hidden messages by looking at each others' eyes. Damn.


"Uhh...hmm..." The music producer was taken aback with that, contemplates and finally considered the idea behind that question. "That's interesting." He said.


"That can be categorized as something dark, which is quite nice for a concept of Velvet huh?" The lyricist joined in, she thought they begun brainstorming when in fact Seulgi was just asking out of confusion from the members' conversation earlier. Seulgi haven't moved on from that yet.


"Ain't that person psychotic?" Their manager finally answered Seulgi's question which Irene and Wendy almost choked.


"That's it! That's brilliant! Why don't we call the song Psycho for short?" The music producer excitedly announced as if he hit a jackpot.


"But that's majestic right? I mean, staying inside a relationship like that. It's beautiful and sad at the same time." The lyricist was left awestruck.


"Exactly my point, kids nowadays are like that. Too stubborn to let go. I think this song will be a hit because everyone could relate." The music producer explained, still impressed.


Seulgi just nodded, Wendy and Irene both flushed while Joy & Yeri looked at each other knowingly then smiled from ear to ear. They were fast to make evil plans.


"How about the lyrics?" The lyricist asked.


"Consider it done, unnie!" Yeri said boasted, grinning.


"We got a lot of ideas. We're just gonna sort the words from our conversation with the members earlier." Joy then winked at the  lovers.


Wendy looked like someone stole her soul while Irene is displaying her poker face but deep inside she has a burning desire to skin Joy and Yeri alive.


And from there they created their hit song, Psycho, all thanks to Seulgi.

Shopping | Wenrene

If there is something that could replace a koala from hugging a tree, then Irene would definitely fit the job. However in this case, Wendy is her tree.


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.

More Than Just A Pretty Face | Wenrene

Irene flipped through the pages of a magazine and sees several familiar faces. She has been featured in a magazine which she shooted last month. It was a prestigious magazine and being able to pose for it with other famous celebrities is truly an honor for her. She scanned every page and can't help but get mesmerized by the other celebrities' poses. The context of the feature was highlighting young females with beauty and talent that takes over the world. Aside from her, she sees idols like IU, Blackpink's Lisa, Twice's Nayeon, Girl's Generation Taeyeon, Bae Suzy and Krystal Jung. As for actresses there were Kim So Hyun and Kim Yoo Jung. Surely with these big stars, the magazine will get sold out instantly.


After looking at her photos the second time, she closed the magazine and placed it on the center table. She sighed deeply and contemplated on the description written for each featured celebs, mainly on the talent portion. She didn't really dwell on how the writers describe their facial beauty at all, it was already given. Therefore she looked at how they defined their talents. For other celebs, if she'll summarize, they were described as 'born to be singers with high or wide vocal ranges', 'great actresses full of emotions', or a combination like 'a singer with unexpected talent in acting', 'exceptional dancing queens', etc.


Irene felt a slight insecurity inside her when she was reading hers. Those other featured celebs were like leading the kpop and kdrama as of today. She feels like that they were really fitting to be featured, truly beauties with outstanding talents.


'The leader of a top girl group red velvet with sweet voice, rap skills and graceful dances.' Those were the words defined her. There were more explanation, but this phrase summarizes it all. At first, Irene was satisfied and thankful for it but she became inconfident as she started comparing herself to the other featured artists. Was she deserving to be featured along with them? Or was she featured only because Red Velvet is one of the top girl right now? Those negative thoughts engulfing her, forgetting her own set of skills.



"Oh it's already out?" A voice startled her a bit ending her train of thoughts. She looked up too meet a pair of curious eyes with a smile on her face.


"Yes." Irene replied shortly.


"Wow. Joohyun unnie, you're the best! Wow! You're so deserving to be with these line up." Her companion joyfully stated as she accommodated the space beside her on the sofa.


"Do you think so, Seungwan?" Irene said with a poker face, naturally hiding the emotions she's feeling right now.


Wendy looked at her, with a reassuring smile. "Of course. Out of all the featured artists here you're the best, unnie."


Irene could only return the smile, but it wasn't a genuine one. "Thanks."


Silence shortly welcomed again as Wendy browsed the magazine.


"But you know as I read the description each artists, yours is quite not on point."


With those words, the negative thoughts that ravaging her mind slowly showing to her face. She maybe right for thinking that she was not fitted for being featured because she's lacking in terms of talent.


"I know, right?" She said with a low tone thinking that perhaps those praises were really just meant to make people believe she's worth to be highlighted on the magazine.


"Yeah. It's confusing they should elaborate more in describing you. They aren't near my impression of you." Wendy yet again caught Irene's attention, slightly forgetting her thoughts.


Irene became curious what Wendy thought of her, so she asked. "If you were the writer, what would you put there?"


Wendy looked at her still all smiles. "Well on the beauty description, I'll say that your eyes are like a deer's, eyes are like stars, you have a high nose and your mouth forms a v line whenever you smile. People cannot look into your eyes for too long or else they will fall in love with you. You're really really pretty, Joohyun unnie."


A genuine happy smile graced Irene's face as she listen to Wendy describe her. Her face heated and forming a tint of red out of the other's greasiness. But knowing Wendy, she knows she's just telling what was really truly in her mind and heart. Irene's feelings were slowly hovered by her heart racing, her insecurities being tossed away one by one.


"And for the talent area. It should be 'has a voice that melts everyone who listens. Has a perfect harmonization skill that blends Red Velvet really well. A rapping skills that gets everyone excited and has an exceptional dancing skills. Truly a tambourine dancing, sexy fairy.' Woooo!!" Wendy said as she reminisces Irene's hot solo dance from their La Rouge tour.


Irene squealed in laughter. She was genuinely happy by what she heard and how Wendy describes her even with hand gestures to make her point. There were no pretense in her voice, just pure adoration coming out from Wendy's mouth. And Irene could feel the authenticity Wendy is giving.


"You finally laughed." Wendy said excitedly as she pull Irene in a warm embrace.


"It's because you're so funny. Your words are like of  elementary and is like a child describing their hero. Don't you think so?" Irene couldn't contain her laughter as she snuggle towards Wendy's arms.


"Aren't I cute, Joohyun unnie?" She kissed the cheek of Irene and sniffed her enticing smell.


"You're so cute. I love you." Irene pulled away and gazed lovingly to Wendy. Smile still visible in her features.


Wendy kissed her lips slightly before she talked again. "Unnie, you have to be confident in yourself. And believe me when I say that you're the best woman of this generation." She smiled widely.


Yet another round of hearty laughter was produced by Irene. Wendy knew her very well, it's hard to hide away her emotions to her. Since they have been together for 4 years now, Irene was sure that Wendy could read her like an open book. She knows her happiness and she knows all her worries.


"You are very talented, more than you'll ever know. You're more than just a pretty face."


"Thank you, Seungwan. I love you so much." Irene said with tears forming her eyes, grateful towards the love of her life for knowing her so well.


"I love you too, Joohyun unnie. I'm so proud of you."


All negative thoughts forgotten, confidence boosted as she knows that there will always be a Son Seungwan who truly believes in her and truly loves her no matter what.
