-Three years later after the incident –

Loud sounds blaring in the club as a brunette girl with bangs took a shot sitting in the bar counter, she can never forget what happened on that day, that day she once again made her heart become frozen, more frozen as ice.

Flashback

Wendy closed her eyes while clutching her chest. Drenched in the rain she was lost, heartbroken, confused.

“Wendy!” Seulgi ran holding an umbrella towards Wendy

“Why…” Wendy mutters

“Wendy?” Seulgi worriedly asked

“Seulgi, why…” Wendy repeated

Seulgi just stayed silent, pitying the broken hearted girl.

“Seulgi, call Irene’s parents” Wendy mutters

“I tried, but their numbers were not reachable” Seulgi crouched down and patted Wendy’s back

“Irene?” Wendy asked

“She turned off her phone” Seulgi sighed

“What about-“

“If you’re going to ask Irene’s Social media accounts all of them were deactivated permanently, her e-mail was blocked.” Seulgi cut her off, she knows Wendy will do anything to communicate to anyone.

“Why the are they doing this to me, after all those things I did for her” Wendy gritted her teeth

“Wendy, please calm down “Seulgi said comforting the latter

“All those years, those ing 5 years wasted! Leaving me here all of the sudden, broken and even humiliated of all the people there!” Wendy shouted angrily        

“You’ll ing pay for this Irene, you’ll definitely ing pay for what you’ve done to me” She gritted her teeth

Seulgi could just stay silent listening to words Wendy said. She knew that the old Seungwan is back, it wasn’t a good thing, it was never a good thing.

Wendy stood up firmly, with both of her hands enclosed, shaking. She closed her eyes and heaved a sigh.

 

“I’m back.” She opened her eyes and looked at Seulgi

 

“Take my car home, I’ll walk.” She coldly said, she gave Seulgi the keys and left the scene with her hands on her pockets.

 

Seulgi sighed and turn around started walking towards to Wendy’s parents

 

“I’m sorry auntie and uncle. There’s nothing much I can do.” Seulgi bowed

 

“No need to apologize, dear” Mrs. Son patted Seulgi’s back

 

“I hope Wendy doesn’t do anything stupid. The old personality of hers is back.” Mr. Son sighed

 

“I’ll keep an eye on her, uncle. I promise” Seulgi smiled

 

“Thank you for being friends with her Seulgi” Mrs. Son motherly smiled at Seulgi

 

“She’ll do the same to me if I was her anyway” Seulgi warmly smiled at Wendy’s Parents

 

“There must be a reason behind all of these” Seulgi thought

 

End of Flashback

 

“, not again” Wendy said as she held both her hands in her head, hoping that those memories would pass already.

 

Wendy hated it; she hated it so much that she wished she never met Irene; she hated her so much that she wished she never existed in this world.  After a few minutes, she calmed down and asked the bartender for another shot, or more. She didn’t really care since no one’s there to stop her anyway; even so Seulgi’s there to pick her up when she’s drunk as .

 

“Hey”

 

“What?” Wendy glared at the person beside her

 

“Chill Wendy” Seulgi laughed, she’s used seeing this girl: drunk and cold

“What do you want” Wendy coldly said as she twirling the shot glass

 

 “I come here to pick you up” Seulgi calmly said

 

“I don’t want to, yet” Wendy gestured the bartender for another drink, then she drink the shot in one gulp

 

“Well, it’s late already.” Seulgi shook her head

 

“So?” Wendy furrowed her eyebrows then looked at Seulgi

 

“You have work tomorrow?” Seulgi raised her brow

 

“…..So?”

 

“Never mind” Seulgi sighed, Wendy’s stubbornness sure is irritating. Fortunately the bartender came and handed Wendy a shot of Vodka

 

“Here, take a shot” Wendy handed the shot glass to Seulgi, which the latter accepted and took a drink

 

“Thanks” Seulgi said putting the shot glass down

 

“Another shot, ma’am?” One of the bartenders asks

 

“No thank you” Seulgi replied with a smile, the bartender nodded and left

 

“And someone said she doesn’t understand ‘love-sick-sacrifices’” Wendy rolled her eyes and took another shot

 

“Well, I understood what you said back then when I dated Joy.” Seulgi shamelessly smiled

 

“Whatever I’m out” Wendy clumsily stood up leaving wobbling in the club while Seulgi just shook her head watching the latter struggles walking, she paid the drinks that Wendy drank and left the club.

 

Seulgi sees Wendy leaning in her car waiting for her, she approached at the latter receiving a glare

 

“What the took you so long?” Wendy glared

 

“I paid your drinks idiot, hop in” Seulgi answered calmly, she opened the passenger seat Wendy quickly got in, Seulgi went to the driver seat and started driving heading to Wendy’s condominium.

 

It was a dread silence when Seulgi started driving, Seulgi took a brief glance at Wendy; her elbows leaning on the window while her head resting on her knuckles. She shook her head look back on the road, and then she the radio to lessen the awkwardness.

 

Should this be the last thing I see
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
 

“Turn that damn thing off” Wendy gritted her teeth

 

“Sorry” Seulgi turned off the radio then Wendy heaved a frustrated sigh

 

“Hey, it’s not my fault since its normal to have a mellow songs on the radio in the midnight” Seulgi defended

 

“I hate that song” Wendy remarked

 

“I know” Seulgi replied

 

“It’s ing haunting me” Wendy said out of the blue

 

“What’s haunting you?” Seulgi asked

 

“Memories. Her. Everything. It ing irritates me” Wendy buried her face into her hands

 

“I hate myself for how I can never forget her even if it’s already been three years; it still lingers in every inch of my being” Her breath hitched, preventing tears to fall out.

 

“Every day, memories of her always lingers into my mind and I can’t ing stop it.” Wendy couldn’t control her tears anymore, tears started to fall out

 

“I hate myself for loving her too much and I couldn’t do anything about it” Wendy sobbed

 

“How can I forget someone who means so much to me?”  Wendy closed her eyes and bit her lip, preventing more tears to fall out.

 

Seulgi just let out a sigh; she patted Wendy’s back trying to comfort the girl while the other hand is at the steering wheel since she’s still driving.

 

Not too long they’re reached to Wendy’s unit; apparently Seulgi dragged Wendy all the way from the Parking lot to her unit. Seulgi tossed Wendy’s body to the drunken latter’s king sized bed and heaved a loud sigh with her hands on her hips.

 

“Doing this for the past three years every day sure is tiring” Seulgi thought, but on the other hand she did promised Wendy’s parents that she’ll take care of the latter. Well there’s no breaking off the promise anyway. She thought

 

“How I wish it didn’t end like this” Seulgi sighs and left Wendy’s unit

 

 

*--*

 

The sunlight rays spread across the room especially hitting Wendy’s flawless face; she furrowed her eyebrows and flutters her eyes slowly. Wendy let out a groan holding her head, aching

 

“Damn hangover” Wendy mumbled looking beside her, the lamp table where the digital clock is located. The clock shows 12:00 in the afternoon, too early for someone who’s drunk last night she thought.  She stood up and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and shower.

 

After she took a shower she dressed in a casual outfit: a plain V-neck t-shirt and a black skinny pants, she dialled her supervisor that she’ll be taking a 3 day off, which the supervisor reluctantly agreed due to the fact the Wendy is badly needed in the office, but a thoughtful supervisor he is, he let Wendy to take a day off.

 

She walked by the Kitchen and spotted a note with a couple of aspirins on it:

 

For your headache you idiot, you shut down last night

 

-Seulgi

 

She chuckled at the note, she’s glad having Seulgi as her best friend. She took a glass and poured water and then she took one aspirin and drank the water. She took out her phone and texted Seulgi

 

From: Wendy

To: Seulgi

 

Hey, thanks for last night. Appreciated that

 

Sent: 12:30

 

To: Wendy

From: Seulgi

  

No problem, I’ve been dealing with you since childhood anyway. Enjoy your day off.

 

Sent: 12:35

 

She put her phone to one of her jean’s pocket and leaves her unit heading to the café, the usual stuffs she does every day if she’s on a day off or in weekends.

 

Seulgi is on her home working on some paperworks that somehow irritates her, blame the secretary who suddenly shows up with a ton of papers, she almost fired her but she stopped from doing so since it’s the first time that her secretary did that.

 

Suddenly, her doorbells rings indicating a guest, she got up from her seat and headed downstairs, as she opened the door and her eyes widened at surprise, it couldn’t be.. is it really her?

 

“Irene?”

 

“Seulgi-ah” Irene said in a small voice

 

Seulgi furrowed her eyebrows, why did Irene suddenly show up?

 

“C-can I come in? I have something to tell you...” Irene continued pleading.

 

“You have some explaining to do Joohyun. Come in” Seulgi glared and she let Irene go inside to her home, this is going to be a long day. Seulgi sighed and rubbed her temples then she closed the door.

 

*--*

 

An Audi R8 ADV1 stopped in front of the café where she always chill and hang out with Seulgi, even if this was the place where she and her met, this the only place where Wendy call it her 2nd home. She locked her car and started heading to the café.

 

One of the waiters greeted her, as always she would always give a slight nod and heading straight to her usual seat, near the window.

 

“The usual Wendy?” Ten, one of the waiters in the café approached on her table holding a service tray

 

“Yeah” Wendy simply said without looking at the waiter, she crossed her arms then looked at the window. Ten bowed and left preparing for her usual order.

 

Her order arrived in just a few minutes; a packet of cigarette, lighter, coffee, ashtray and a steak.

 

“These things could kill me.” Wendy thought, but she shrugged it off and started to slice the small piece of the steak and started eating.

 

After she was done eating, she took a cigarette and the lighter. She inhaled, puffed and looked outside the window. Her elbows resting on the table while holding the cigarette. This was her u
