Irene looks.....beautiful.

Well, that's not something unusual. Her room as expected is a huge mess.

Wendy moves quickly, not wanting to do anything more than she's supposed to. Quickly, but quietly. She can't dare to let Joohyun wake up, she doesn't know what she'd do if the sleeping beauty did wake up. She doesn't even know what she wants to say to her.

(She actually does.)

Wendy quickly picks stuff up from here and there making sure not to look at anything personal. After some time everything seemed in it's place.

Guess there's only one thing to do now.

She sighs as she moves towards Joohyun. She just wants to make sure the woman is okay and is sleeping peacefully. Back in thier days, whenever Irene was sick she could only ever fall asleep with someone, and that someone was always Wendy.

Something about being warm.

Wendy wonders if Seulgi keeps her warm.

She quietly sits on the floor right next to where Joohyun is sleeping. And she suddenly doesn't know what to do. She just sits there, looking at her past.

She doesn't know how but tears quickly threaten to spill out of her eyes, she blinks quickly in an attempt to stop them. That's something she learned from Irene.

Where are all these emotions coming from? It's beem 12 years, over a decade. Joohyun has moved on, and happy with her life, Wendy has moved on. More importantly, Wendy chose this, years ago. She wouldn't regret it now, would she?

As she's looking at her, her sight suddenly falls on her hand, her watch. It was already 12.10. Seulgi might arrive anytime soon, though she doubts it. She decides to leave, not really fulfilling her purpose of coming here.

What was it, exactly?

To cuddle with her, cuddle with Seulgi's girlfriend?

Funny how it still seems weird to say that.

Her thoughts come to a halt as she jerks up a bit. Joohyun moves slightly, facing her now. But her eyes are still closed.

"Seulgi-yahh......" Joohyun mumbles from her sleep, she definitely isn't seeing a dream and is not sleep talking. At least she didn't do that at that time. Wendy figures the other is just too tired to open her eyes. And it's good that way.

Wendy also can't say anything, because Joohyun will be able to tell immediately. And the last thing she wants is for her to take any stress right now.

She moves again, manages to get up this time but as soon as she starts to move a hand lands on hers.

Joohyun's.

She winces at the touch. She convinces herself she didn't miss it too much. She's too busy to notice a fact, all her memories clouding her. But when she does though, she's alarmed.

Joohyun is burning.

Even her hand is at such a high temperature. Wendy's features soon sport a very concerned look. She has to do something and she has to do it quick.

Joohyun turns again. This time faces the other way as Wendy sighs in relief. The panic in her rises again though as Joohyun takes her hand and wraps it around her waist. Wendy tries not to put it on her bare skin, the little which shows as her baggy t-shirt is lifted up due to her sleeping position. She moves it a little, maybe she applied a little too much force though, as Joohyun chuckles.

"You're...soo.....warm today..." Joohyun says in her sleepy voice. Wendy doesn't know how to feel, it was normal for her to hear that. But the older woman still remembers her touch, well not that, but her warmth. Joohyun giggles again. "You are....my bear right?"

, , .

This feels so wrong, on so many levels. Joohyun thinks she's Seulgi, of course she would. She even questioned her if she is, but she can't speak now or detach her hand, she would surely open her eyes and see. She also has to do something for Joohyun's fever to drop. She figures she'll get up and do something in a while.

"I'm....sorryy, Seulgi-yah..." Joohyun still sounds like she's half asleep, doesn't know what she's saying, but she does. Joohyun always does.

But the apology, Wendy mulls for a while and the only normal time when someone says sorry is if they did something wrong.

Or they had a fight.

Maybe that's why Seulgi was almost sulking, drinking so much. Dancing to the point where her legs would give out.

She still uses dancing to take it all out.

Now Wendy feels even more wrong, she's disrupting an important moment between the two. Whatever history she has with Irene, she has no right to do anything that's beyond her limits.

That's Seulgi's girlfriend.

Joohyun takes her other hand and sets it on the bottom, intertwining thier fingers. And just then is when she notices, the ring. It's definitely the one Seulgi keeps fidgeting with.

It's not just her girlfriend. It's her fiancée.

"I...need it today....the warmth....I missed it." Wendy feels like Joohyun is talking to her. It all feels too unreal. Would Joohyun ever say this to her? That she missed her?

"Don't leave like that again, ever. Okay?"

Tears fall out.
