Seulgi was busy fixing her things in the dining table when Irene got there. The latter silently approached the taller girl and put her bag in the table as well. Seulgi quickly brought her gaze to Irene when she noticed the latter's presence

"Oh Hi Hyunnie! Good Morning!" Seulgi flashed her signature eye smile

"Good Morning too, Seul" Irene said softly and smiled at the taller girl as well. Seulgi goes back in fixing her things, filling the entire house with an awkward silence

Irene wasn't used to that kind of atmosphere, because Seulgi is never quiet, not when they're together, so she coughed nervously and tried her best to initiate a conversation

"Ummm... Hey... About what happened yesterday..." she bit her lip as Seulgi looked at her, feeling anxious "I wasn't able to thank you yesterday... T-thank you Seul, F-for saving me" she then looked down, unable to keep an eye contact. 'God why am I feeling so nervous?' She thought to herself. She was brought back to reality when Seulgi finally speak

"Oh. It's nothing" the taller girl said with a wide smile and head to the kitchen counter to pack her lunch her lunch

Irene followed the taller and stood beside Seulgi on the edge of the L-shaped counter

"Ummm..." She began, trying to think if she should asked what time did she got home or not. But was faster than her brain so she still did "I didn't see you last night... Got home late?" She fidgety asked

"Yeah... " Seulgi chuckled not minding to look at the girl beside her "Later than usual" still busy packing her lunch

But Irene's next question made her turned to her, only to find Irene already staring at her

"With Wendy?" Irene asked while staring straight in the other girl's eyes, slightly pouting in the process

Seulgi took a step closer to the latter and leaned too much for Irene's liking. Their faces was so close that they could even count each other's eye lashes. She placed her right hand in the counter trapping Irene and making the latter lean back against the counter

Irene in the other hand stared at the girl who is trapping her in the moment as confusion began to cloud her mind. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Seulgi decide to lean in closer, stopping when there were just a few inches away from Irene's face, making the older's heart pound loudly, seeing Seulgi's face as close as that

"And Sooyoung" Seulgi smiled innocently as she answered. Irene released a relieved sigh as Seulgi's answer made her somewhat happy. 

They both got startled like a kid caught in act with their wrong doing, when they heard a familiar voice from the other side of the kitchen. 

"What are you two doing?" Yeri asked quizzically with a raised eyebrow and a crossed arms

Seulgi quickly grab the tissue papers behind Irene and head back to the dining table to put her packed lunch in her bag, walking past by Yeri, obviously avoiding the younger's question making Yeri look back at Irene, still with a raised eyebrow

"What? We were just talking" Irene said in a matter-of-fact tone, like it was a normal thing to do

"Talking? That close?" Yeri asked again, not satisfied with her unnie's answer, making her sound like she is the older one between the two of them

Irene only gave her a chuckle as an answer and walked close to her and placed her hand in Yeri's shoulder with a smile

"Just come on, were gonna be late" Irene happily remind her and ruffled the younger's hair. 

She walked out of the kitchen, grinning like a fool, leaving a puzzled Yeri behind

"Sometimes I don't know who really is the younger one between the two of us" Yeri said to herself with a deep sigh, and followed her unnies in the living room

Yeri and Seulgi was about to get out of the house when they both heard Irene yell a "BAE YERI! KANG SEULGI! GET BACK HERE AND GET YOUR UMBRELLAS!" sounding like an angry mother, that will explode any minute now

Seulgi and Yeri looked at each other and tried to muffle their laughter at the sound of a yelling Bae Joohyun. Seulgi quickly gets back to the living room while Yeri just stand there while staring back at the living room with a chuckle

"I guess she really is the Older one" She said to herself before running back, afraid that her unnie might explode if she doesn't hurry

The busy hall was filled with different noises, laughter and students that were preoccupied with their own worlds. Irene and Seulgi was walking down the hall, with Irene's hand on her stomach, as they both laughed at whatever silly joke that the other girl has told her. Seulgi really enjoy this kind of moment. Her, telling some funny stuffs, making Irene laugh like there is no tomorrow. She always liked it when she's the reason why there's some tears in Irene's eyes, from extreme laughter of course.

They stopped midway as Irene tried to recover herself from that hilarious joke. She was busy wiping her tears when something caught Seulgi's attention. The other girl studied it carefully with a slightly opened mouth and curious eyes. 

Irene's laugh finally died down and grab Seulgi by the wrist when she noticed that the other girl is distracted by something

"Yah~ Seulgi. What are you looking at?" She asked as she carefully swayed Seugi's arms to catch her attention

"Oh. N-nothing.. " Seulgi answered 

"Come on we're gonna be late" She said and dragged Seulgi to their classroom

The two proceeded inside the classroom and head to their respective seats. Joy, who is seating in front of them, turned over the two with excitement. 

"Hey Irene! Let's go for a date after class. My treat!" She said with sparkling eyes and a wide smile, anticipating Irene's answer

But her smile disappeared when Irene gave her a worried and a sad look. She knows Irene too well, that there is no word needed to know the answer

"No?" Joy sighed and looked away, and brought her gaze back to Irene "Fine" she added bitterly and gets back to her proper seat, not minding to ask why

"Hey, Sooyoung... " Irene tried to catch Sooyoung's attention by gently tugging at her uniform "I'm sorry ok? It's just that, the principal asked me to do something in the office" she tried to explain

Sooyoung creased her eyebrows and answered Irene without even looking

"You can spare time for Bogum, but can't for me" She said 

Irene was about to say something but someone shouted

"Ok class! Let's start. Turn your book into page 376" Mrs. Hwang as she got inside

Irene sighed and closed her eyes, with a sad expression. Wendy and Seulgi was just staring at two and shared a worried look. 

The class has already ended and Joy was still avoiding Irene. They were all heading home and Wendy bid goodbye to Seulgi and Irene but Joy only bid goodbye to Seulgi and walked away hurriedly 

It was heartbreaking for Irene of course. She wants to hang out with Joy but she can't. The principal is expecting her there. She sighed for the hundredth time that day, and Wendy patted her back and gave her a reassuring smile before going after Joy.

Irene turned to Seulgi with closed eyes, trying to fight back her tears. The blonde sighed and wrapped her arms around the smaller girl, caressing her head. Irene can't take it anymore and broke into tears when she felt Seulgi's caresses. Oh how comfortable it is to cry on her shoulders, feeling somewhat protected and safe. 

"It's ok. Everything's gonna be fine" the blonde said as she hugged her tightly while slowly closing her eyes

-----

Irene asked Seulgi, not to wait for her. She didn't know what time she will be done so she told Seulgi to go home already. Seulgi didn't agreed immediately, but after a lot of convincing, she finally agreed to go home without Irene

She was walking down the hallway when someone approached her

"Hey!" A boyish girl shouted while running, trying to catch Seulgi. She stopped in front of Seulgi as she tries to catch her breath

"You walk pretty fast ya' know?" Still panting. Seulgi eyed her confusingly 

"By the way, I'm Amber" she brought her hand in front of Seulgi and the blonde took it "Seulgi" she said, still with a confused look

"I saw you staring at our Booth earlier... " Amber pointed at their Booth as to remind Seulgi where "That... Are you interested to join?"

"Ummm... I'm not sure, I don't know how to dance" She replied kindly

"Oh that's ok! We're welcoming everyone. If you don't know how to, we will teach you! Haven't you heard our motto? Everyone can do Everything" Amber said with enthusiasm and a chuckle "So... What do you think?"
