Irene's POV

Flashback

"Irene?", she whispered. "I love you so much!"

After that incident in the bar and the closure Seulgi and I had in the hospital, I can't get her out of my mind.... her face....her monolid-eyes.. her voice when she told me she loved me, her embrace.. Did I really made the right choice? I love Jennie more right? Oh no, I only love Jennie I mean and I just don't want her to suffer so I needed for her to let go of me. I was so down lately, I haven't seen her too. I felt like she's really avoiding me. Uggh do I like to see her? 

"Joohyun are you okay? Is there something bothering you?", Jennie worriedly asked.

"No, I'm okay."

"Is it because you're going home today?" I didn't say anything. 

"Don't worry, you'll be okay. I will be right beside you." Jennie is always kind and caring. She took care and love me in those times that I felt really lost because of my memory loss. She made me happy in so many ways and for the past three years she's all I have.

"Thank you so much hon. I'm so lucky to have you." Then I gave her a kiss.

Jennie and I heard honks of the car outside. Lisa and Seulgi must be here. 

"Hey, are you guise ready?" Lisa said with so much energy and excitement. She looked really beautiful. I looked at Jennie and she looked lovestrucked with Lisa. If it's the usual me, I would be jealous but I don't know, I felt like there is a change in me. Then I looked at the person on the driver seat. She didn't give any greeting or didn't even look at me, she was just seriously typing at her phone. I wonder, who is she chatting to. Then I saw she smiled at her phone and then she looked at me and smiled. O_O so pretty! My hearts skips a million times faster again like when we were in the bar. I felt like my heart has a mind of it's own when it comes to Seulgi. 

"Geez, you don't have to be so loud Lisa. Yes, we are!" , Jennie replied.

We just followed Seulgi's car for I don't know how long until we stopped into these very elegant house. It's not too big nor too small. My heart was really raicing so fast as I felt that this is my forgotten home. I saw Seulgi and Lisa down the car giving us sign to park and get down. Lisa helped Jennie parked while I stood in front of the gate.

"So, is this my home Seulgi?" I asked Seulgi and she immediately nodded her head. 

I was so nervous that I started shaking. And then Seulgi holds my hand and looked at me as if I'm the most beautiful creature in the world. "Don't worry Joohyun. You will be fine. Your mom loves you so much and she will be the happiest to see you. Just be yourself, if you can't remember don't push yourself. Like you said you are not Irene anymore, so just be Joohyun." With Seulgi holding my hand and with her words, my body stopped from shaking. 

"Let's go!", she guided me inside the house never letting go of my hand.

I looked around inside the house and it feels really weird. Seeing myself when I was young and some moments I seemed to forget, drives me nuts a little bit. I was busy observing the house, when a very beautiful woman came out whom I believe is my mother.  

"Irene?" , she started crying hysterically while hugging me. "I can't believe it's actually true. You're alive! Oh my Lord, Thank you so much for bringing back my daughter." she added. 

"Eomma?" I softly said. "Yes my darling, I'm your mother. I'm so so happy that you're back. I've been so lost all these years you were gone"

"I'm so sorry mom!", I started crying as well. "No, it's not your fault. I love you Irene."

After a couple of minutes, Lisa and Jennie came.

My mother looked at Jennie.

"And you must be Jennie?" and Jennie nodded. "Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. I owe you big time."

"There's no need to thank me Mrs. ???.

"Mrs. Bae but you can call me ---" She looked at Seulgi and then Seulgi smiled like assuring her that it's okay.

"Eomma!" Jennie was a little bit surprised but she's happy I can tell.

"Got it eomma. Like I said there's no need to thank me cause it's really Irene that saved me."

I found out that Seulgi have already informed my mother about everything. She had prepared her for this day and I'm actually thankful for that. My mother said that she was able to prepare all my favorite food as well because Seulgi gave her a heads up. 

Everyone of us were getting ready for lunch when Seulgi excused herself. 

"I'll be goin

Chapter 17: A perfect sequel!! Drama, action, twists, comedy, mystery and romance all packed together in fun story telling and a diverse cast and their perspectives. I loved how everyone had to put an effort in to make these relationships work and the difference in how! Like Seulgi was very patient and sacrificial while Lisa was more instinctive and positive on outcomes, it's interesting to see them contrast, same as Irene and Jennie. I'm very glad everyone got their happy ending too with all the memories back to Irene and Lisa! Rose put in hard work to make them get back together lol.
This was an excellent read and you're seriously good at keeping me on my toes, every chapter had me surprised. I wouldn't be able to guess what was coming up next at all XD!
Thanks for this sequel and sharing so much of your hard work. I'm grateful that both this and it's first part are finished and here to read :D
Until next time!

Chapter 14: BOGUM CAME BACK?! You're not pulling any punches here!
Irene took that hit and now he wants to play teary-eyed even though he was ready to kill Seulgi, he deserved his beating. That was plain cruel and pathetic to still be harboring such hate. Can't get over a girl /HE/ cheated on, smh.
Seulgi really does just have the worst luck in the world.

Chapter 13: Every new twist you bring up in this story has me shocked every time! A twin sister who got sent away wow! And who chloroformed Irene?? This is insane XD
Rosé and Risoo did well in making them see and finally act!
Catmanager #7
Chapter 11: Ohhhh, who is Rosé's special someone!? Or friend as she said lol
Her plan seems to be in motion already, now if it'll work is the question XD
I love jealous Irene and Jennie, they're so obvious lol, just get your girlfriends back! They want you back too hahaha

Chapter 10: Irene is getting closer and closer to truly remembering Seulgi or at least the extent of their feelings, she just needs to be careful not to hurt Seulgi if she has second thoughts. Seul needs to get better soon so she can get through this with Irene! All that working and stress probably took its toll :( And Lisa and Jennie are close too but what made Jennie deny her I wonder? Jennie seems sure of her feelings so I wonder if she thinks it's too soon.

Chapter 5: Rosé enters the scene! Now that the truth has no choice but be revealed what will Jennie tell Joohyun?
And Irene seems to be becoming surer of her feelings for Seulgi in comparison to Jennie, maybe she can start trying to remember more too. At least her and Lisa are in the same boat of having lost memories of people that really loved them :(

Chapter 4: Seulgi.... still always trying to be positive in the face of misfortune. She's so kind :')
Also Lisa needs Jennie to talk to her too, so she can know why she feels the way she does.
Maybe as they visit Joohyun's mom they'll be able to understand more.
