“Since that day the things between us were the same… I never knew she was the one crying inside that bathroom till well… you’ll know”

“Tell me more mommy”

 

After that day the two girls haven’t talked. Joohyun was like her usual self and so was Seulgi. What no one noticed was the dark circles under Joohyun’s eyes, the ones she tried to hide with her make up. Well no one noticed except Wendy. She was really observant and was dead worried with Joohyun.

“Hey guys” Wendy said receiving everyone’s attention on that table “What about we today go to that bar? The one with Karaoke where Seulgi slayed” Wendy stated, everyone agreed while Seulgi shrugged and Irene just sighed “Irene?”

“Hm?” The girl asked back and faked a smile

“Are you coming?” Everyone was staring at Irene well… except Seulgi

“Sure… Sure I’ll go…” Irene faked her enthusiasm

“Okay we are leaving for classes” Joy said while getting up and dragging Yeri

“Me too” Seulgi said simply and left

“We are going too” Solar, Moonbyul, Jennie and Jisoo said at the same time then giggled

“Well I guess we all are going to class” Rose said making Lisa nod

“Yeah let’s go” Wendy got up and walked to the same direction Irene was going “What’s wrong?” Wendy asked

“With me? Nothing… I’m fine why do you ask?”

“Well… the other people may not notice but I do…”

“Notice what?” Irene acted like she was confused

“The dark circles under your eyes” Wendy said

“I-Where?”

“Joohyun…” Wendy reprehended

“I’m just… not sleeping well” Irene said

“Now the truth” Wendy said

“I’m fine… Seriously…”

“Yeah… That’s why you space out staring at Seulgi” Wendy said

“I-That’s not true” Irene tried to deny

“Tell me…”

“I…” Irene sighed “Since Seulgi sang that song I saw how hurt she was… I saw that I was the fault of all that pain… I realized that I ruined her… I… I put her like that… I’m sorry Waan-ah I stole your friend and-”

“Irene… It’s not to me who you have to apologize… You two were kids but still… Seulgi was so deep for you, you really broke her that’s true… But you never apologized” Wendy

“I tried but she ignored and-”

“Of course, she ignored do you expect her to talk with you and befriend you? Someone she loves? Joohyun…” Wendy sighed while Irene stared at the floor "No one knows why you did it and I want Seulgi to know it first then all of us because she deserves it… I have this idea… She sang a song for you right? Why don’t you sing a song for her? Today”

“I-I don’t know what to sing” Wendy sighed

“Well it’s up to you… think I’ll be expecting a song hm?” After that Irene nodded

“I will…”

 

Later that day the group of friends were already on that same bar. Joohyun was so nervous, she spent the whole day reading the lyrics of the song she choose. Seulgi was quiet as always only observing them and chuckling sometimes. Some of them went there to mess around a bit while singing, like Joy and Yeri. They also found out that Solar has a beautiful voice and the other girl’s too

“It’s my turn…” Irene said

“The grandma is going to sing?” Joy teased, everyone laughed except Irene and Seulgi as always. When Joohyun left the table, she was followed the whole time by Seulgi’s curious eyes

“Hi… Hm… Can you play hm… Kard’s Trust me, Somin and BM’s version?” Irene asked the DJ that was drooling at her “Hm sir?” The boy snapped and nodded. Joohyun positioned herself on the front of the mic and waited for the song to start

(A/N: I suggest you hear Kard’s trust me but Somin and BM’s version. I tried to find the right lyrics, but it was hard to do so, so if something is wrong I’m sorry because there was a lot of translations in English and I don’t know what’s the realest one, btw)

 

Irene sighed when the song started playing

 

Come on, you

I missed you

How was it today?

Yes, I did my best

What's going on

Why do you keep avoiding me?

Come on, look at me

I have something to tell you

 

Irene stared at Seulgi while singing that was frozen staring at the oldest one

 

Sometimes when I'm serious, I'm scared

But you're always bright

Today is strange

There's no point in breathing

When there is something uncomfortable

I told you honestly

Sometimes when you're out of power

I was rather laughing

 

Wendy was cheering Irene up silently while Irene was staring at Seulgi and Seulgi only

 

What's going on?

I don't like the look

That's right

I feel sick

 

Trust me, hold me

Trust me. I love you

 

I will never be disappointed.

Trust Me

Keep me warm in your eyes.

Trust Me

 

Seulgi’s mouth was open while she was watching the girl she loves singing for her

 

My love will never change.

Trust me.

No matter what,

Trust me

I’ll protect you,

Trust me.

 

Trust me. Hold me.

Trust me. Hold me.

Trust me. Tell me.

Trust me. I love you.

Trust me

 

Trust me. Hold me.

Trust me. Hold me.

Trust me. Tell me.

Trust me. I love you.

 

Irene sang the chorus and sighed when she knew that the most intense part was now, the rap part

 

I know I've been a lil distant lately

Been trying to figure things out in my life

Negative thoughts in mind

Been a little bit crazy

Trying to find a place to let it out right

 

It’s a cold world and
