Irene's POV

The music filled the ice skating rink. Our song. The song that describes my feeling for her.

"Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah
Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah
Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah"
( Stuck on you, by your side yeah
Stuck on you, by your side Yeah
Stuck on you, by your side Yeah)

" Baseurakgeorin soksagim hyeokkeute maejhin
Hogisim tto pyeolchyeobojanha gunggeumhaejinikka
Tumyeonghan nega daheumyeon sigani meomchwobeorigo
Sangkwaehan hyanggiga ip soge pyeojoga"
( A crinkling whisper, curiosity builds up on the tip of my tongue
I’m looking around because I’m curious
Time stops when you transparently touch me
A fresh scent spreads in my mouth)

One by one, pictures of her started to appear. It showed every single expression of her. Smiling Seulgi, Laughing Seulgi, Tired Seulgi, Embarassed Seulgi, y Seulgi, Charismatic Seulgi, Cute Seulgi. And I love every single expression of her. I love her.

" Neoreul mollasseossdamyeon naega eotteohge
Uljeokhan i gamjeongeul useoneomgilkka
Jeongmal gippeo ireon gippeum neowa nanul su isseoseo"
( What would I have done if I didn’t know you?
I’ll just laugh over this sad feeling
I’m so happy that I can share this happiness with you)

Pictures of us during our pre-debut was shown. From our candid photos, pre-debut photos as well as dance practices.

" Sarajijima hangsang meomulleo nae simsullo
Neol kkaetteuryeo hwanaego bochaedo
Eopseojilkka bwa jongil jongil jobasim
Naego boseokcheoreom neol akkineun geu saram narangeol"
( Don’t go away, always stay by my side
Even when I break you, make you mad and push you with my bad temper
I’m so cautious in case you disappear
The person who values you like a jewel is me)

Fantaken pictures of us staring at each other, leaning at each other was shown. The way she looks at me speaks how much she loves me. And I am forever thankful for that. I am thankful for the love and affection she had towards me.

" Chaeksangeul bichun changgae chimdae meorimat
Seorabe nae jumeoni soge neol gadeuk chaeullae
Daldalhan neoui nunbicci budeureoun
Neoui chokgami nal bakkwojuna bwa nollaun byeonhwaya"
(In the window that shines on my desk, in the drawer next to my bed
In my pocket, I want to fill you up
Your sweet eyes, your soft touch
They change me, it’s an amazing change)

Feeling curious, I decided to take a peek. She was still standing at the center of the ice skating rink with hanging open. She was staring at the screen with her hands covering . Clips of her taking care of me was being shown. From fixing my messy hair, holding me gently when I'm walking, to her protective hug every single time the fireworks goes off. I'm way too lucky to have her.

" Doraseomyeon nan tto ne saenggakppuninde
Nae sone an japhimyeon naneun eotteokhae
Ireon tujeong heorakhae jun oneul harudo beautiful"
( When I turn around, I only think about you
What do I do if I can’t have you in my hands?
You allowed me to whine like this again today, it’s beautiful)

Pictures and clips of me looking at her intently was being shown. From simple interviews, radio shows, performances, and award speech too. I never thought I was looking at her that way. So full of love and affection. As if she was my world and indeed she is.

" Sesange naman gajgo sipeun neo nae simsullo
Neol kkaetteuryeo hwanaego bochaedo
Eopseojilkka bwa jongil jongil jobasim
Naego boseokcheoreom neol akkineun geu saram narangeol"
( I want to be the only one who has you
Even when I break you, make you mad and push you with my bad temper
I’m so cautious in case you disappear
The person who values you like a jewel is me)

Clips of us hugging each other was being shown. From different shows, from different eras, from different angles. It was as if everything around us was a blur. As if we are in our own world. Hugging tightly like we wouldn't want to let go.

"Jogeumssik talhaseo eopseojilkka gin hansum kkeonaeyo
Gaseumi ttwilsurok deo eolma mot gaseo nogabeoril tende
Geojismalcheoreom neul yeongwonhi geudaero isseojwo woo- nae gyeote"
( What if you melt away slowly? I let out a long sigh
The faster my heart beats, the faster you will melt
Like a lie, forever stay like that, by my side)

A clip was being shown. I can still remember that day. The way she looks somber. The way she cried throughout the encore stage. My heart was aching during that time. I never wanted to see her cry. Though hesitant, I still engulfed her in a warm embrace. In front of our fans, in front of everyone. I could care less, she's everything that matters.

" Sarajijima hangsang meomulleo
Naui misoga neoui somssingeol"
( Don’t go away, always stay by my side
My smile comes from you)

" Sarajijima hangsang meomulleo nae simsullo
Neol kkaetteuryeo hwanaego bochaedo
Eopseojilkka bwa jongil jongil jobasim
Naego boseokcheoreom neol akkineun geu saram narangeol"
( Don’t go away, always stay by my side
Even when I break you, make you mad and push you with my bad temper
I’m so cautious in case you disappear
The person who values you like a jewel is me)

A clip of us back hugging while holding each others hand was being shown. It was during our debut days. We relied on each other back then. Her smile mirrors my smile. I can still remember the warmth of her embrace. The way our hands fit perfectly. In front of a million fans, in front of a hundred sunbaes and hoobaes, we could care less. The way she smiled at me made my heart flutter. It was the best feeling. Being loved and being in love with the same person.

"Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah
Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah"
( Stuck on you, by your side Yeah
Stuck on you, by your side Yeah)

" Boseokcheoreom neol akkineun geu saram narangeol"
( The person who values you like a jewel is me)

"Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah
Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah
Stuck on you ne gyeote yeah"
( Stuck on you, by your side yeah
Stuck on you, by your side Yeah
Stuck on you, by your side Yeah)

The clip of us singing the same song in the video was being shown. It was one of our outdoor performance. It was raining that day. As the song was about to end, we ended up facing each other singing while sending finger hearts. It was the cutest. She was the cutest. My love, Seulgi. My charismatic bear, Seulgi. My world, Seulgi.

At the end of the video, a collage with our pictures appeared forming a word. "Saranghae, Seulgi-ah". It was everything that I wanted to say to her.
