It was Saturday, finally. Her so-called free day. The rest of the week became almost a restless week for her, not that she do so much things but because of this certain someone named Irene Bae who always popping out wherever she go and always make her felt uneasy just by her presence itself. It's really funny to think that she's like a scared sheep whenever Irene was around, it's not like she did something to her yet. Maybe only because of that piercing eyes who were like trying to burn holes on her poor soul or that smirk of both devilish and mischievousness that always grazing her lips whenever they see each other. Until now, she couldn't still figure out what is that girl up to. If Kyungsoo was right about his assumption, maybe Irene was really planning to do something and she was sure enough, it wasn't good at all. Even the thought of it makes her shiver. Her ears peark up as she heard the door bell rang indicating that someone is outside the door. "Mom, someone's outside the door!" she yelled at the living room while flipping the next page of the book she's reading. "Open it! I'm busy here!" Her mom yelled back from the kitchen. Wendy rolled her eyes. As expected from her so called mother. Heaving a defeated sigh and dropping her books on top of the coffee table, she abruptly get on her feet and walk for the door. She twitch the door knob and with a final click the door swung open revealing the faces of the three musketeers grinning from ear to ear. Her eyebrows raises before her gaze travel downward noticing the three medium size suitcase settled on each of their sides. "You've gotta be kidding me!" she gasped and her eyes automatically widen. The trio continue grinning even when she stared back at them with this horrendous look on her face. "Are you planning to leave here for good?" she couldn't help but blurt it out then squinting her eyes at them, waiting patiently for some explanation regarding on this. The three of them shook their heads as Rose decided to spoke on their behalf, "Your mom told us to bring enough clothes for the whole weekend," her grin widen, showing off her pearly- white teeth and the two nodded in agreement. "What?" slightly parted,"You're staying her until Sunday?" The three nodded their heads eagerly. "Yes!" They uttered in chorus "No way!" "Yes, way!" "MOM!" "You traitor," her face turn into a grimace as she continue glaring at her mother. They were currently in the kitchen. Wendy was sitting on one of the stool next to the kitchen counter while her mom was standing across from her and was busy slicing all the ingredients since she's planning to prepare a special dinner for the night as per requested by the trio of course. Speaking of the trio, after Wendy decided to let them in they already invited themselves to roam around the house and her mom didn't even bat an eyelashes to allow them to do so which of course to Wendy's own disbelief. Her mom tilted her head, giving her a brief glance while smiling before she resume on what she's doing. "Your friends are all nice" "You are obviously diverting the topic," she stated in a deadpanned tone then roll her eyes. Her mom laugh before she carefully pour all the ingredients onto the pan. "Then what do you want to hear then?" Her mom tilted her head and cocked an eyebrow at her waiting for her response. "We'd agreed for only one night but you decided to extend it without me knowing," she frown. The woman leaned on the counter, folding an arms infront of her chest and gave her daughter an amused look, "Aren't you feeling delighted of that?" "Why would I?" "They are your friends," her mother stated matter of factly. She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, so basically I knew them better than you" "I didn't say I did" "Mom!" An unintentional whine escape from her lips and the woman chuckled in response. "You are so carefree," she shake her head in disapproval. Her mom sigh before walking closer to the kitchen island, leaning forward she say, "Why are so sulky about this hmm?" "I'm not sulky" she defended, "I just wanted some privacy and you know they also have their own life" Her mom pursed her lips and nodded, "You're right" "I know, mom" she rolled her eyes and her mom's lips curved into a smirk. "But everything could possibly change my dear daughter," her mother stated, reaching out to playfully ruffled Wendy's hair which only received a soft grunting sound from the younger before she lean back, smiling. "What do you mean?" Her mother chuckled a bit as she say, "The reason why I come up with those decisions was because I think one night isn't enough so maybe I could extend it for 2 nights instead of one" she shrug, "I know you wanted some privacy that's why you're reacting like this, but they are your friends, soon enough you will also treat them more than just a friend probably as a family and so do I. Let just say it's the first stage, just like when you were in a relationship. First, you should need to get to know each other then spend time with him/her and the rest will be up to you to decide." Her mom smiling face and soothing voice was enough to finally soften Wendy's heart. How could she say no to her now? That's really stupid of her if she did it. And so she just nodded her head in defeat and returned the smile. "Fine," she breath out "You're the boss, who am I to object?" Her cheeky comments makes the older woman crack up into a fit of laughter for the nth time tonight and Wendy couldn't help and decided to join her afterwards. "Card games ! I will never play that again!" Rose huffing voice suddenly break the silence in the living room. Wendy roll her eyes as she flip the next page of her books, wanted to pay no interest at the other four who were all sitting around the coffee table playing this card games her mom suggested for them to play earlier. "Maybe you mean you're just a natural loser that's why you couldn't manage to win against us." Kyungsoo mock earning a loud laughter from the rest of them. Rose throw the pillow at him which he immediately dodge with his hand while still laughing. "You are all funny, really. Can I already adopt all three of you?" Her mom cooed making Wendy roll her eyes. "Don't!" she warned, " I don't want to have an additional weirdo here in our house mom," she stated nonchalantly Hearing this, Rose swifly snapped at her. "Oh buddy thank you so much. That's so really nice of you. I really felt overwhelmed, " Wendy's face turn sour at the sarcastic comments as she gave her friend a glare. Rose glare back, but then her mom's cheerful voice interrupted their glaring battle. "Alright ceasefire kids! Chill up. I know you really love each other but please don't do it too much" the older woman chuckled awkwardly while clapping both of her hands to ease up the unpleasant atmosphere. Seulgi and Kyungsoo exchange a knowing look and smile. Rose sigh and Wendy rolled her eyes before she focus her attention back on reading. "Auntie, what do you have in mind?" Seulgi inquire after the long dead silence and the woman stared at her with a warm smile. "Let's play another game!" she cheerfully announced like an excited kid. Wendy could only just sigh at her mom's childish antic. Here we go again. Sometimes she's having this doubt about this woman's real age. Her appearance shows that she's already in her mid-30's but truth to be told she act like a 5 year old toddler most of the time. See the difference? "I'm out!" Rose raised her hand and the rest stared at her. "Wae?" The woman asked in concern. "I knew it!" Kyungsoo pointed a finger at his cousin, a knowing smirk grazing his lips, "She don't want to be called a natural loser again because she will surely lost it, as always!" then he cackled. Rose groaned in response before reaching out to hit another pillow at him. Another fit of laughter filled up the room before it slowly dies down after a couple of minutes. "No seriously kids, you should try this game because it's really fun and I'm sure you'll like it!" Her mom stated after they all recovered from their laughter. "I'm in!" says Seulgi "If this is really that fun, then I'm definitely going to try it," Kyungsoo stated with a grin. "How 'bout you Rose and Wendy?" Mrs. Son glance at each one of them. The two exchange a look, nodding at each other before glancing back at the rest. "No thanks but we're not interested," they uttered in unison. "This two really are a mood killer, eh?" Mrs. Son playfully make a whining noise, the rest cooed except for Wendy who instead made a fake gagging sound. "We're really sorry, auntie but we don't really felt doing it tonight" Rose sincerely apologize, briefly glancing at Wendy hinting her to back her up. Wendy raised a confuse eyebrow but when she finally get's the message she dumbfoundedly nodded her head while faking a smile at her mother's direction. "Oh well, if that's what you want then I guess we're doing it by ourselves." Wendy and Rose exchange a triumphant looks, silently smiling to themselves. "But you should make us a favor as for your compensation for not participating with the game," Their smile instantly drop hearing what the woman said. "What?" "Oh yes! I think that's a brilliant idea, auntie!" Kyungsoo spoiled with a huge smirk on his face. Both Wendy and Rose gave him a glare but he just laugh it off making the two hissed in annoyance. "As for your compensation -" "Who says were going to do it?" "Why? Aren't you going to do it, Son Seungwan?!" Wendy unconsciously shiver hearing her real name being called out from her own mother's mouth. Usually,
