"Noo! I don't want to dad. Pweease don't take me to Korea. Felix say there are monstor, big big monstor, many monstor."

A seven year old Wendy was completely against the idea of shifting, her parents had gotten new and better offers in a different country but the child was afraid to leave her home, Canada.

So her dramatic started telling(and enacting) stories of how 'monstors' were eating people in South Korea.

Her parents were giggling and enjoying how cute thier little daughter is, they didn't want to upset her, but they needed these offers financially. For them it was gradually becoming hard making ends meet in Canada.

"And then big mouth open and take the girl in mouth. AHAHHAHHAH! He laugh like that very av-uhhh- avll." The little girl was throwing her hands up in all directions and acting like a 'monstor'. She then moved her legs far apart and created a 'fireball' and threw it at imaginary people.

"Honey, I think you mean evil. Come here my little angel...Aahh! No the monstor is attacking, will superhero Wendy save her old father?! Oh oh oh noo it's close."

"Yaaa....boom haiiyaaa, you now gone monstol. My name supelheloo Wendyy......yaaaa."

Rosé was very worried. She had went out of the conference room, where Wendy currently is, to fetch some water. She doesn't understand how Wendy can be in such a state, she is never like this in all the time she has known the older.

As she's walking through the hall, she remembers what happened just now.

"No. No. I-I we...uhh..we can't take this j-job."

She saw Wendy stutter, a sight that's not normal to see. She saw as Wendy teetered her way to her chair, as if her legs have completely given up. Rosé can't see her like this, catching every breath that's coming as if she's pleading her body for air, as if all the air in the world is gone, her whole body shaking, all her fingers curled on the edge of the table for support.

Without thinking, or even knowing why Wendy was in such a condition, Rosé just sat in front of the brunette and cupped both of her cheeks, found herself forming lines on the older's face with her thumb, and just repeatedly said the 4 words she's so used to saying,

"I will fix it."

"I'll fix it."

"Don't worry, we won't take it if you don't want to, it's just a job Wendy."

She finally reaches the conference room and she enters inside.

--

Wendy is thinking.

She's thinking about so many things at a time.

She thinks about the company, the statistics. Mina wasn't joking when she said this could be the biggest project of thier company till date and she also acknowledged the fact that Korea does have a huge market and investors.

But she also thinks about her past.

She can't just simply throw that away but she also can't just be selfish and not think about others. In fact that's what she's always done.

Thinking about others.

She then thinks about Rosé, how the younger was able to calm her down. When she was fragile, about to break into a thousand pieces, just one touch and those words were enough to calm her down.

I'll fix it.

They were different though, she wasn't used to those words and to Rosé calming her down, seeing her like this. It had always been someone else.

"Oh my god, does it hurt Joy? Tell me is it bad?"

"Uhh...what?" Joy is conf

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
