Irene's POV

After the dinner Serene went to sleep already and after securing her, I checked on Seulgi. She was watching but I can see that she's really out of herself.

I sat down beside her and said, "Penny for your thoughts?"

She looked surprised. Then she stared at me and her tears just started to fall like rain. "It hurts Irene... I just want to be numb of everything." Seeing her like this makes me want to cry as well but I need to be strong for her. I hugged her and rubbed her back. "It's okay Seul. Cry out everything. I'm just here and I'm not going anywhere."

It took sometime for her to stop from crying. She must have endured that pain for so long. As soon as she calmed down I stood up to get a water for her.

"Here drink this." I said as I hand her the water.

"Thank you Baechu. I'm sorry for all the trouble."

I shaked my head. "Don't think about it. You're not a trouble." She smiled and then drank the water.

She was about to stand up but I took the glass and told her to just sit down. After that I sat down beside her and signalled her to lie down on my lap. She looked at me confusedly.

"Come on Seul. Lie down. Put your head on my lap and then rest more."

"Are you sure?"

"Haist this girl." I just forced her to lie down. At first she was a little bit uncomfortable but soon she settled. She was lying sideways facing the TV in front of us while I carressed her hair over and over again hoping to calm her more.

"I was so young when appa left us. We were the best buddies. He will always play with me and will always back me up to omma. We were pretty much happy until he changed. My mom started to cry most of the time while my dad barely comes home. When he left us, we got kicked out in the apartment that we're living in. So we have no choice but to live with a relative that treated us like . I had to do part time job, take care of Yeri and study all at the same time. It's been tough but I managed..we managed to survive. My mom and I worked hand in hand in everything until I've got discovered while performing in school. It saved us big time honestly. If I haven't been an actress, I would have not support my mom. My mom... she was so happy years ago when I told her that I will ask you to marry me." Then she chuckled. "She really likes you a lot, I think more than me and she said that she's really excited to witness our wedding." She paused for a few seconds and then continued. "When we broke up, I've lost myself and I've lost sigh
