What are they doing? What's taking her so long? I miss her...

 

Irene hadn't slept all night. She kept thinking about her. She was worried.

 

She looked at the bruise on her hand.

 

If she did that to me, I can't imagine what she's going to do to her.

 

She was sitting on the couch, TV but she wasn't paying any attention.

 

Okay, to be honest, Seulgi treats Wendy like she's a princess. But I can treat her like she's a queen...

 

Now that I'm thinking about it, Seulgi is always good and sweet to everyone. Everyone besides me.

 

She reached to this conclusion after that day when she spotted Seulgi, while she was shopping. She was with a rather young girl with long hair and a slim body.

 

She looked really cute. She mustn't have been older than twenty. They were talking and laughing, while the girl kept throwing all kind of clothes on Seulgi. After that (when they finally decided which clothes they were going to buy) Irene observed Seulgi's behavior, while she was talking with the cashier. So gentle and sweet. A cute smile always on her face.

 

Irene left the shop before Seulgi could notice her. She had seen enough. Seulgi was a pure angel. An overprotective angel.

 

I can't believe I turned an angel into a devil.

 

The sound of keys stopped Irene's trail of thoughts.

 

She's here!

 

"Wendy you're back!" She ran and hugged her.

 

"Woah! Irene it was just one day!" Wendy giggled and hugged her back.

 

"Joohyun..." Irene whispered.

 

Wendy broke the hug and looked at her socked, "Am I not considered a friend yet?"

 

Irene looked at her feet, trying to hide the blush that started to form on her cheeks.

 

"No..."

 

"But..." Wendy started, "Ugh, whatever you think." She continued, looking obviously hurt.

 

"What do you want to do today?" Irene instantly changed the subject.

 

"I'm not feeling really good... I think I'm sick. Can we stay home today?"

 

After a whole day outside in the cold with Seulgi, Wendy seemed to have caught a cold. She wondered if Seulgi had too.

 

"Of course! Why are you even asking?" Irene giggled, "You can go in your bedroom. I'll make you some soup."

 

"Okay." Wendy smiled, "Oh! Irene! I bought something for you!"

 

Irene ignored completely the fact that she called her by that name and asked, "What? Really?"

 

Wendy took her arm and opened her palm, placing a little necklace with a peace sign on it.

 

"I bought this for you because your name means peace... And I thought it would suit you."

 

Irene smirked at the flushed figure in front of her, "How did you know?"

 

"I searched it..." She said and looked at her feet.

 

At that point Irene felt a blush form on her face too.

 

She searched it? She searched something about me? Does she want to know more about me? Does she care?

 

So many questions.

 

"Thank you. Can you help me put it on?"

 

"Sure."

 

She gave the necklace back to Wendy and lifted her hair, exposing her neck.

 

"Wait, I'm so bad at putting these on." 

 

"It's okay. You just open it and..." Irene stopped once she felt Wendy's fingers touch the back of her neck.

 

How could such a slight contact make her face look like a tomato?

 

"I think I did it." Wendy whispered, her hot breath falling on Irene's neck, making her shiver.

 

Did she know what she was doing to her? Did she know how she made her feel?

 

"Th-Thanks." She stuttered, "Please, go lie in your bed now. I'll go make that soup." She continued and pushed Wendy in her room.

 

Oh god I want her.

 

---

 

"Please help me, I'm so weak."

 

"What do you mean?"

 

"Please, feed me."

 

"Wh-What?"

 

"Pleeease?" Wendy whined.

 

Irene sighed, "O-Okay."

 

Wendy moved to the side of the bed, letting Irene sit comfortably next to her.

 

She took a spoonful of soup and lightly blew on it, "Watch out, it's still hot."

 

Wendy nodded and opened . Irene giggled at the sight and slowly fed her until the bowl was empty.

 

"I can't believe you actually fed me..." Said a flushed Wendy.

 

"You told me to do it!"

 

"Yeah, but I regretted it now! I feel like a baby..."

 

"You are a baby."

 

And a damn fine one.

 

"Wh-What?" Wendy asked startled.

 

Wait, did I say that aloud?

 

"I-I mean, you're really cute just like a baby... WAIT! No! That's not what I-"

 

Wendy's giggle cut her off, "It's okay, Joohyun," She smirked, "I know you can't handle yourself."

 

Irene's mouth hang open in shock after hearing that. She could tell that Wendy was just playing around, that her words were just a joke, but she wished they had been true. She wished that Wendy knew how she felt.

 

"I see you finally realised your place."

 

"What do you mean?"

 

"You finally called me by the name I allow you to use."

 

If she wants to play like that, I can play like that too.

 

Wendy's smirk instantly fainted, "Why are you doing this? We are roommates, we've known each other for so many months." She slightly pouted.

 

Such a cute pout.

 

"I can't tell you." Now it was Irene's turn to smirk.

 

"You're so bad." The younger one crossed her arms.

 

"I know," she smiled, "To make it up to you, I'll prepare some hot chocolate for both of us. Do you agree?"

 

She knew Wendy couldn't resist.

 

"...Okay."

 

She knew it. After all these months, she had learned a few things about her roommate. First of all, Wendy couldn't resist her smile.

 

She stood up and went in the kitchen, placing the now empty bowl in the sink and then she took the essential ingredients for the chocolate. Only when she started pouring the milk into the glass did she notice Wendy sitting on the counter behind her.

 

"Why are you out your bed?"

 

"I wanted to be with you."

 

And with that statement Irene dropped the carton of milk on the floor.

 

Thank god it was closed. That would be a mess.

 

"Alright then..." She picked up the carton, "Did the soup make you feel any better?" She continued, trying to change the subject.

 

"It did. But I'm sure this hot chocolate is going to make me feel even better." She smiled.

 

"It will."

 

After a few minutes the hot beverage was ready, its smell all around the kitchen.

 

"Here you go."

 

Irene smiled warmly at the giggling and adorable face Wendy gave before picking up the hot cup in her hands, breathing in the chocolate aura. She sighed in contentment before taking her first sip.

 

Observing Wendy's face she tried to understand whether she enjoyed her drink or not, but her face was expressionless.

 

"Is something wrong with your drink?"

 

At her words, Wendy blushed again for the second time that evening before shaking her head to indicate that the drink was perfectly fine.

 

"No, Joohyun. It's perfect."

The older woman couldn't help but notice the blush grow darker at the other girl's own words. It made a smile crack at the corner of her pink lips.

 

"Then what is it?"

 

Wendy looked away for a moment, staring down at the wooden floor, her index finger lightly rubbing back and forth against the mug.

 

"I just wanted to... Give you a thank you."

 

Irene smiled and couldn't help but think that her roommate was just being too darn cute. She wanted to melt completely. She knew how much she was in love with Wendy.

 

She walked around the counter and sat on the chair next to Wendy.

 

She was about to part her lips to answer back to Wendy's words when she suddenly felt lips grazing against her own. They were warm and soft and had a hint taste of chocolate on them. It took Irene's mind a moment to kick back to work and realize whom it was that was kissing her so tenderly. Her eyes widen in surprise and shock. Her (not so) secret crush was kissing her on the lips!

 

Her mind was telling her to deepen the kiss and taste even more of the sweet taste of her roommate and try a bit more of the sip of hot chocolate in , but Irene knew beneath that, that it was wrong. She didn't want to take advantage of the situation. Wendy was just giving het a kiss for a thank you.

 

When Wendy slowly pulled away, Irene couldn't help but just stare at her in shock.

 

"Irene-"

 

"You mean Joohyun."

 

"Tch." Wendy rolled her eyes.

 

 

"Because you're more than just a friend."
