ideas, where art thou?

“Are you sure Seulgi is okay with this?” Eunha asked.

“She’s out with her family and friends too. We both agreed to have time with our friends. It’s been a while.”

 

Joohyun is with the squad somewhere far from the busy city. She brought her friends from school too. Mina and Sejeong got along with them pretty well, especially Mina and Sana.

 

“I bet that consists of a lot of nagging and whining on your side.” Eunbi said.

“Partly, yes. She gave me restrictions.”

Sana’s eyebrow shot up. “Like what?”

“Well, I can wear what I want if only we both agreed to it. And if I’m gonna post my pictures, I should have to show it to her first before posting it. That is vice-versa by the way.”

“Cool.” Sana commented.

 

“Send me every picture you’re gonna use for all your SNS accounts.”

“Are serious?! That’s too much!”

“I can’t have my wife flaunting her body without her wife in a beach full of s. Do you get me? I’m not there to see those erts look at you like a piece of meat. I need you far---very faaaaaar from their sight.”

“I’ve got my friends and Wendy and Yeri!”

“I know. But they should have their own fun in one way or another so you’ve got to make me updated. At least by the end of the day. Okay?” Seulgi patted her wife’s head.

Joohyun thought about it. “You’ve got a deal! But!”

“But what?”

“You’d do the same.”

“Deal.”

 

“Yeah… cool.” Joohyun smiled.

“Taengoo-ah, let’s fix you up. Mama’s waiting outside.”

“But Papa, I don’t wanna tie my hair.”

“Mama Joohyun wants it tied up because you know why right?”

 

Taeyeon nodded.

 

“Come on now.”

 

Six years old Taeyeon walked to Seulgi let her mother do her hair.

 

“Papa.” Taeyeon called.

“Hmm?”

“I wanna cut my hair like the boys in my school.”

 

Seulgi can clearly visualize the future of her child.

 

“We should just cut your hair short instead of making it like your boy classmates’ hair. How ‘bout that?”

“Uh, how short is that?”

“This short.” Seulgi pointed at the child’s jaw.

“Okay!” Taeyeon agrees.

 

Silence.

 

“Papa, is Ppany gonna be there?”

Seulgi smiled. “You like Aunt Wendy’s kid too much.”

“I don’t! We’re just friends!”

Seulgi laughed at her daughter’s blushing face. “Arasso.” She patted her head.

 

Taeyeon ran back to her bed and took her doll with her.

 

“Can I bring Mr. Jack?” she asked Seulgi.

“Sure.” Seulgi carried Taeyeon and her baby bag downstairs where Joohyun is waiting.

 

A very irritated wife was standing by the stairs.

 

“What took you so long?”

“Papa has to redo my hair three times!” Taeyeon showed her four fingers to her mother.

Joohyun giggled and folded Taeyeon’s finger. “There, that’s three.”

"Hey Wen. Where's your girl?"

"Still sleeping." Wendy smirked. "Looks like you ain't leeching to your wife this time."

Joohyun raised a brow. "We just talked--if you must know."

"Good then. Because Amber just sent me a picture."

"Why do I feel like you know something that I don’t?"

"It’s been like that ever since you made me your secretary Ms. Bae." Wendy playfully mocked.

 

No girlfriend can stay calm after that.

So Joohyun demanded for a video chat.

 

"Hey Bae. I knew you couldn’t resist me." Seulgi grinned.

"Oh shut up bear. Why don't you tour me around your family's vacation place?"

"Oh sure." Seulgi started walking.

 

Seulgi walks inside a vast room which Irene thought is a living room.

 

"Umma! Hyunnie's on video call. Say hi."

The surprised old woman greeted her daughter in law. "Omo. Aren't you too beautiful for my arrogant daughter?"

Joohyun chuckled while her wife whined. "Umma!" Seulgi exclaimed.

Appa Kang was also there. "APPA!" Joohyun greeted.

"I can see that you’re very excited to see me."

"I haven’t seen you for ages! What do you expect? And I don’t have anyone when Seulgi harasses me."

Seulgi quickly turned her phone to her gaping face. "You don’t lie in front of my parents Kang Joohyun."

Joohyun only stuck her tongue out. "You wish."

“I gotta get out of here.”

 

She went to the huge front yard where the others are camping out.

Seulgi went inside her squad’s tent.

 

“Hey homos, Joohyun wanna say hi.”

“Hi Joohyun! Seulgi’s having a very good time here!” Jungyeon exclaimed.

“Her secretary’s here too—!” Lisa covered Momo’s mouth.

 

Out. Out. Out. Why did I even think of going to these idiots? All these loved ones I cherish, and they’re all turning their backs on me. Seulgi thought.

Seulgi rushed out of the tent and quickly went into Krystal and Amber’s.

 

“Ooh, another vid?”

“Kang Seulgi everyone.” Krystal introduced to her Go Pro camera.

“Yah Kang Seulgi!” Joohyun, on the other line, shouted.

“Joohyun-ah~” Amber cooed.

“Stop. It’s disgusting.” Joohyun commented.

Amber faked a hurt face. “That’s unfair. Only Seulgi gets on your sweet side.”

 

Joohyun ignored the irritating Llama.

 

“Hey Joo.”

“Hey Jung. How’s life?”

 

Seulgi passed her phone to Krystal and let the women talk.

 

Meanwhile Amber, “Yes Amber. I’m only sweet to my cute little Ddeulgi and not to anyone else.” Said while imitating Joohyun’s voice.

 

Seulgi eyed the talking Llama weirdly.

“Hey Krys, what’s up?”

“Um, I don’t know how to say this. But…”

“But what Jung Soojung?”

“Seulgi kind of drowned.”

 

Seulgi.

Drowned.

 

“WHAT?!”
