It was laundry day.

Irene went to the other room in their dorm and saw the two 94 liners playing with their phones while on their bed. She called Seulgi’s attention and asked her to help her wash their clothes.

“Why just me? Can’t Wendy come and help us too?” Seulgi asked while pouting. Irene resisted the urge to punch the younger girl in the face. It was cute. She was cute. But it was the type of cute that calls for a punch.

“She already cooked us lunch earlier and even washed the dishes. She deserves a break.” Irene explained.

“Aww~ Thank you, unnie~” Wendy chirped. “Just go and help her, Seulgi. Be a good dongsaeng to our unnie.”

Not wanting to complain any more, Seulgi stood up from her bed and placed her phone in between the hem of her shorts and her tummy. A part of her shirt got tucked in with her phone too, but she didn’t notice it. Irene noticed it though. She wanted to fix it but she let it be since she found it cute. Everything Seulgi was cute.

They got their basket from the laundry room and gathered the clothes from the hampers in their own bathrooms. Irene wanted to help Seulgi carry the basket, but the younger girl insisted that she could carry it alone.

“I don’t want grandma Baechu’s back to hurt.”

True, Irene’s back didn’t get hurt, but Seulgi’s arm did.

After loading the washing machine with their used clothes, Irene puts in the detergent soap and fabric softener inside the machine. Upon smelling the scent of the soap, she sighs in delight and feels very happy. This doesn’t go unnoticed by the younger girl and she couldn’t help but smile. She thought that it was cute that Irene liked the smell a lot. She then remembered how Irene declared that she would always do the laundry during their first day at the dorm. She found it so cute. Irene was cute.

They moved to the living room after they switched on the washing machine. The both of them sat lazily on the couch with the two of them sitting at each end. Irene reached over for the remote control so she could watch tv while Seulgi took hold of her phone. She wiped off the moisture it had on the screen after it was squished between the hem of her shorts and her tummy.

When Irene was channel surfing on the tv, she noticed that Seulgi would take selcas from time to time. She knew that the girl liked taking pictures, but taking one after every 5 minutes? Irene was starting to wonder if Seulgi was okay. Seulgi isn’t this vain, she thought while looking at the younger girl taking another selca.

“Don’t you have enough photos of yourself in your gallery already?” Irene teasingly asked while watching something on tv.

“I’m not taking these photos for myself, unnie.” Seulgi laughed while taking another photo.

Irene couldn’t quite grasp what Seulgi said. She said the first thing that came in her mind, “You’re sending photos to a boy?”

“Does it matter?” Seulgi asked while secretly taking a photo of Irene and sending it to a friend. She saved the photo and looked at it once again in her photo gallery. The older girl had this cute confused expression that Seulgi has always liked.

When Irene was about to protest, Seulgi heard Wendy calling her from their room. She left her phone on their couch before going to the room to check on Wendy.

Irene was tempted to take Seulgi’s phone and see what the younger girl was really up to. She hesitated a lot. She took hold of the phone, then she put it back on the same spot where Seulgi left it. Took it, placed it back. Took it, placed it back.

“Oh screw it.”

She took the phone and hoped that Seulgi hasn’t changed her passcode yet. Upon seeing the phone unlock, Irene giggled in excitement and started to explore the younger girl’s phone. She checked the recent apps that the girl used and saw one unfamiliar app.

“Snapchat?”

Suddenly, she heard Seulgi talking loudly to Wendy and Irene quickly locked the phone and placed it back where it was before.

Seulgi took out the newly washed clothes from the washing machine and Irene felt like hugging every piece of clothing that was handed over to her. The smell of the fabric softener filled her nose and feeling the softness of the fabrics tickled her skin. Irene smiled in glee because she just really loved doing the laundry.

While Irene was folding the clothes and occasionally smelling them, Seulgi took this chance to take a video of Irene for her Snapchat story. She tried her best to keep her giggle but when Irene took a really long sniff off her shirt, Seulgi couldn’t hold it in anymore. Irene turned her back when she heard Seulgi laughing and saw the younger girl taking a video.

“Ya!” Irene quickly shouted and as if on que, the video reached the ten second limit. “What are you doing??”

“Nothing!” Seulgi quickly hid her phone behind her back.

Irene stepped closer to Seulgi and looked closely at the younger girl’s face. Seulgi had this stupid grin on her face and she was nervously laughing and telling Irene to not worry about anything. But Irene knew better. She could hear Seulgi’s laugh and her shout on loop even if the younger girl tried covering the speaker of her phone. She was about to pull Seulgi’s arm, but the younger girl quickly turned around and ran to her room.

Seulgi quickly locked the door when she got inside. She rewatched the video and she laughed even harder than she did earlier because of Irene’s facial expression that was caught on the video. It was a mix of anger and horror. It was even funnier because the video ended right after Irene shouted at her.

“What the hell is going on?” Wendy asked while looking at Seulgi. She could also hear Irene hitting their door and shouting Seulgi’s name.

“Watch this!!” Seulgi excitedly said while walking closer to Wendy. “Unnie is so cute.”

“WENDY, DON’T WATCH IT!” Irene shouted from the other side of the door. “STOP SEULGI!!!”

Wendy was confused. She wanted to open the door and let Irene in before their door breaks but Seulgi was already beside her and the video was playing right in front her. She giggled along with Seulgi while watching their unnie fold and smell the clothes. When it reached the ending, the two friends laughed so hard together.

“KANG SEULGI!! STOP IT AND OPEN THIS DOOR.” Irene continued to shout.

Seulgi saved the video on her phone and posted it on her Snapchat story with the caption “I got caught kk I love doing the laundry with unnie.” Wendy saw this and took it as a sign that she could finally open the door. The door took too many hits from Irene. Wendy felt bad for the door, those hits were meant for Seulgi.

As soon as Wendy opened the door, a raging Irene went inside and started attacking Seulgi.

“Give me your phone!” Irene shouted while tickling Seulgi’s sides.

“No!” Seulgi managed to say while laughing. She couldn’t really handle a raging Irene very well, most especially when her hands are all over her.

Irene doesn’t really hit Seulgi when she’s mad. She always tickled her until she gives up. But this time it was different. She felt Irene’s hands go up to her armpits and they didn’t do anything. Seulgi looked up at Irene and saw the older girl giving her a serious gaze.

“Did you post it? The video?” Seulgi felt Irene’s finger tracing her armpits. It was weird.

“Uhm…”

“YOU DID POST IT!” Irene shouted and pinched Seulgi’s armpits.

Seulgi screamed in pain.

Wendy was still standing beside the door and witnessed everything that just happened. It was her first time to actually see their unnie snap like that. She felt bad for Seulgi. She wanted to do something, to save her friend’s poor armpits, but she doesn’t want to get hit by Irene too. She quietly went out the door and hoped that things would get better between the two.

After a couple of hours of folding and smelling the newly washed clothes, Irene has finally calmed down and decided to talk things out with Seulgi in her room. During that process, Irene asked why Seulgi kept taking photos when they were doing the laundry and the younger girl explained she was using an app called Snapchat. The younger girl explained what it was and Irene felt bad for hurting the girl’s armpits just because of an app she doesn’t know.

“Do you want to try it out, unnie?” Seulgi asked while opening the app on her phone. “It’s really easy. I’ll show you how.”

Seulgi started to explain how the app works to Irene. After explaining how to take pictures and videos, they sent one to Wendy, who apparently was the person Seulgi kept sending pictures to when they were doing the laundry. Seulgi also explained how to put in text and all the other things you can do such as drawing, putting on emojis, putting the time on each photo, etc. The older girl found it all a little complex at first, but she was slowly understanding whatever Seulgi was telling her.

“There are filters too.” Seulgi explained while showing the different filters. “But Joohyun unnie wouldn’t need filters. She’s already pretty.”

Irene playfully hit Seulgi’s arm. She loved it when the younger girl compliments her out of the blue.

“I should give this app a try.” Irene said while taking out her phone to download the app.

“Waa~! Joohyun unnie’s making Snapchat!” Seulgi shouted excitingly as she ran to their room to tell the other members.

Irene couldn’t help but smile. Seulgi was so cute.

When the app finished downloading, Irene opened it and started to make her own account. It asked her for a username. She couldn’t think of a username. She wasn’t good at this.

“Seulgi!” She shouted. “What’s your username?”

“seulgi210! All small letters, no space!” Seulgi shouted from the other room.

Irene typed joohyun329 on the username box and she was lucky because the username was still available. She started to fill in the other details in the sign up page and soon was ready to use the app with all its glory. She added Seulgi as a friend and all the other people she knew that Snapchat suggested her to add.

She explored the app first and watched Seulgi’s story. They were mostly photos of her drawings and some videos of Wendy and Joy that she secretly took during the night. She was surprised when she saw a photo of herself watching tv on Seulgi's story. She found it so sweet that she felt like giving Seulgi a hug but then her video of smelling the laundry started to play on Seulgi's story and now she just wanted to pinch the younger girl's armpits again. Then at the last part of her story was a selca. Seulgi had her cute smile on where her cheeks looked so squishy and her eyes were curved into an eye smile. Irene quickly took a screenshot before the story ended.

After looking at Seulgi’s selca again her gallery, she took a selca while doing a small pout and added the caption “Am I doing this right?” before sending the photo to Seulgi. A few seconds later, she received a notification saying “Seulgi took a screenshot!” and she kind of panicked.

“That means… Seulgi also got a notification when I took a screenshot?” Irene’s eyes widened at the thought.

She looked at her phone again and saw that Seulgi just sent a photo. She opened it and saw the younger girl giving her a thumbs up. The photo was followed with another photo of Seulgi pointing at her armpits with emoji tears on her face along with the caption “It still hurts T^T”

Irene felt bad. Really, she did. She didn’t know how to express herself through a photo so she decided to take a short video.

“Mianhaeyo~” she said cutely and apologetically, her tone rising and falling with each syllable. She watched the video again and it made her cringe. She quickly sent it to Seulgi before the video played again.

She eagerly waited for Seulgi’s reply and it took a good minute before the younger girl sent her something. It was also a video.

“Gwenchanayo~” Seulgi said with the same tone Irene used in her video.

Irene felt like she was dying. She also felt like punching Seulgi. She was so cute.

She refreshed her feed and saw that Seulgi sent her a photo to her even if she hasn’t replied to her cute video reply yet. She opened it and saw another selca of Seulgi smiling. No caption. Just a photo that she could look at for ten seconds and she did look at the photo for the entire ten seconds. Irene took another screenshot, not really caring if it gives the other girl a notification. She also took another selca before sending it to Seulgi.

And they spent their whole day like that, sending each other selcas without any captions even if they were just under the same roof.
