They keep on talking, playing, dancing and just doing all the random stuff in the world.

Dahyun is having a lot of fun, but then she notices Chaeyoung and Wendy aren't here yet. Herself, Jin, and Hyunjin are the only ones in their group who were not drunk. She looks at her watch, it had been 15 minutes since Chaeyoung just got up and went away and she still hadn't returned.

They're sitting again, after a lot of dancing. Ms. Kang and her friends are still sitting with them. She can't say she isn't enjoying it, they're really fun people to be with.

They're all drinking, but she doesn't drink much, not because she doesn't like it or anything but because she knows she can't just waste her money like that.

Not when she has way more important things to attend to.

Yoongi has already passed out and is now sleeping on Namjoon's shoulder, who doesn't seem to object, adjusting him from time to time so he can be comfortable.

Jeongyeon giggles and says something to Nayeon which is not audible to Dahyun. They both start laughing loudly after that.

After a minute or so Chaeyoung finally comes back. But she has this concerned look on her face.

"Dahyun I'll be leaving, please make sure you all safely reach the company." She hastily speaks, catching her breath. She then looks at Jin and he just nods knowing what she's trying to say.

But Dahyun notices Wendy's not with her so she asks.

"What about-"

"She's with me." Chaeyoung interrupts her, scratching her temples.

She suddenly stares at Ms. Kang weirdly, almost in anger. When she's still looking at Ms. Kang Dahyun notices her red eyes.

She didn't drink that much. Did she cry?

"Chaeyoung-ah is everything alright?"

Chaeyoung stops looking at Ms. Kang abruptly and looks at Dahyun again.

"O-of course D. Don't worry, just get them back safely." She points at Sana and Yoongi.

She's about to leave when one of Ms. Kang's friends speaks.

"Uhm d-do you need a ride?" Jimin squeaks. "I-I mean we have a car, we could drop you off if you want."

"Thanks a lot, Jimin, but I'll just take a cab. I hope we can meet again sometime?" She says absent-mindedly. Dahyun knows she's thinking about something else and is just being professional right now. But Jimin quickly nods and Yunho hits his back multiple times, teasing him.

Chaeyoung was never this bold, she never talked, it was always Wendy, but these past few days it was like something happened and their positions swapped. Dahyun couldn't help but notice some tension between the two. They must have fought or something.

She quickly runs off and disappears into the big club in no time.

Dahyun is worried about Chaeyoung and Wendy, but she ignores it for the moment as Sana shouts.

"If we have butterflies in our stomachs, do they have humans in theirs?"

--

Rosé is in the cab, with Wendy.

The older is resting her head on her shoulder, Rosé doesn't dare to say anything. She then hears light snores, Wendy's already asleep.

She takes Wendy's hand and holds it tightly. She looks at her face and caresses her hair. She looks peaceful, unlike some minutes ago.

"Don't suffer alone, you hamster."

She remembers what happened when she went to find Wendy and it still sends shivers down her spine.

As soon as she entered the washroom, she saw Wendy.

She was crumbled up like a ball on the floor, holding her knees tight with her head down, rocking back and forth. Her breathing is uneven and very heavy.

She was panicking.

Seeing Wendy like this broke her too, tears welled up in h

Chapter 38: Wow, what sad news, I really had hope for this story. I mean, even if things didn't turn out the way I expected (Like Joohyun confronting Seungwan the first moment he saw her about the daughter she just took away and Joohyun misses so much or the revelation of Joy's supposed other relative where she only discovers that she didn't really have a father but a mother?) And of course, even though Joohyun knew that Seulgi was back in contact with Seungwan, she never confronted either of them about the whereabouts of her other daughter, which makes us wonder what kind of parents Joohyun and Seungwan are who don't bother to look for or finally reveal the truth to Joy and why does Seulgi continue to collude with both sides when she considers her niece so much?
Despite everything, what really saddens me is that despite everything, the flashbacks to their past were without a doubt the best part of the story, I really kept waiting for more of them. I don't know if you intend to go back to this story and rewrite it, but I would particularly love it if you could show us their past in full. I think exploring what you've already done here would be a way of reusing this story that had so much to show.

Anyway, thank you for everything so far, I hope you are well and come back soon, author-nim!

Chapter 38: Oh i see the problem now. The seulreners want more seulrene moments.

Though i've always thought this is wenrene fic with how often Wendy's pov appears. But i agree that the story's really dragging. And so many side character povs.

I always look up wenrene tags coz that's all i'm interested in and this story was really promising. But i suggest if you're writing a wenrene fic, just use wenrene tag and don't add seulrene and vice versa if you're writing a seulrene fic to avoid being accused of clickbaiting and confusion.

Thank you for your work author! Please keep on writing.

Chapter 37: Heavy seulrener here and yes the story is dragging. This story is similar to wenseulrene fic titled 'Unrequited' in terms of the structure where it's clearly a seulrene fic with wendy as the 'heartbreaker' but for some reason the pov heavily came from wendy perspective. I think other readers already mentioned it out: Seulrene is clearly still going strong in this fic but for some reason, they have less moments compares to Seulgi with Lisa. This wenrene/seulrene bait & switch is clearly not working because now people started to criticize Irene, Seulgi and Wendy characters (similar with that fic 'Unrequited') and it's not even because they don't understand the concept of flawed characters, it's just they're getting tired of the story and the characters. I just don't get why most wenseulrene fics authors always have the same concepts and settings when they wrote their dynamics and it made me wonder if they really see each individual irl like that, because let's be real here, yes these are fictional characters, but they are real person fictions (rpf) characters. Even in kdramas, triangle loves don't always have the same dynamics. It's like these fics' authors are actually on one camp, but they pretend to care about the third person (in this case wendy) so that people would think that these authors actually like both camps. Might as well make it a polymorph relationship.

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Well I'm still reading this though the story is undoubtedly dragging its heels before moving a fraction of an inch for whatever plot there is. I get that the characters are still stuck in some of their past, but it doesn't mean that the story should be too. Stuck at a snail pace, I mean. The Joohyun and Wendy arc has the two agonizing every now and then in addition to the Joy issue keeping this story going in circles. I'm interested enough to keep on reading this but something has got to happen soon and change the pace to get things moving. The Seulgi and Wendy talk finally happened, but any attempts of figuring out how to approach Wendy and Joohyun closure as well getting Joy known as the missing child is not even on the horizon. I've also not seen a solid Seulrene tidbit here that is solely about them and not a segway to enter another Wenrene flashback and Wenrene agenda. I get that this story is about past Wenrene and daughter Joy, but I think there has been more Lisa-centric chapters/POVs than a Seulgi one that is not related to past Wenrene. Seulrene doesn't even shine that much other than small stolen moments here and there.

my two favorite fics right now: The Internship and this one (Family). Seulrene with pathetic pos Wendy, yes that's my kind of romance.

Chapter 33: What I don't get about this whole thing is why are they talking around Irene instead of just telling her the truth? This will all blow up in all of their faces once Irene finds out that Joy is her kid and that Seulgi is keeping things from her. It's bordering stupidity at this point. Seulgi is well aware of how devastated Irene was when Wendy left with their kid and now that said kid is back, instead of telling her outright, she goes and hides it from her. I mean who does that? There's no justification as to why she's doing what she's doing at this point. And not just Seulgi even, the same goes for Wendy. She has every opportunity at this point to stop beating around the bush and get her daughter and Irene to meet. But she keeps delaying things.

I don't even get Irene's reaction when she first met Wendy again either. I'd have been angry on the spot and demand to see my child. Why is she so passive?

Still curious to see how this runs through but I'm also getting frustrated at how this is turning out.

Chapter 32: First thought comes to mind when the revelation happened like- what the hell was Irene thinking volunteering for that? Everything became SO messed up after that. I don't even know what to say
