Wendy would never get tired of waking up next to Seulgi every morning

It had been a year since Seulgi revealed their relationship to all the media in the middle of an interview for a talk show. Their relationship caused a mixed reaction from everyone: there were those who remained neutral, others who openly repudiated and demanded that their careers should be ruined for their 'lack of values' and their 'promiscuity', there were others who defended them with sword and shield and said there was nothing wrong in loving another person no matter their gender

However, the initial problems had already went by. Their careers were still stable if not even bigger than before. Currently Seulgi was recording a mystery drama as a detective that (fortunately, according to Wendy) didn't contain a single romantic relationship. Wendy was in the process of touring all over Asia, she started with two huge shows in Seoul and would soon travel to Japan for the next stop. In the middle of that trip, She got a couple of days off

Days that she didn't hesitate to spend next to Seulgi

They went shopping and had lunch, they saw all of their favorite shows and the films they recommended to each other. Wendy was very nostalgic seeing Seulgi sleeping next to her... today was the last day she had before leaving and she wanted to keep it in her mind until she could see her again. Her manager had been quite clear: the tour should be successful so she could regain her career momentum and that meant putting all of her effort to make it so

Wendy approached her girlfriend and kissed her on the forehead, making sure that her lips made firm contact with her skin. In were kept those three words she saved in her heart throughout this year that went by in a relationship with Seulgi

She was so afraid to say them

Was she able to love Seulgi forever? What if Seulgi only saw this as one more relationship? What if she didn't want to have any ties?

Seulgi was very patient with her, more than humanly possible. Wendy could go days without answering a single message because of her schedule and she had never had a claim, she could complain a thousand times about her work and Seulgi would listen even if she had her own frustrations. The actress respected her limits firmly and with no exceptions

Maybe she was abusing her kindness...

Seulgi started to move after that kiss. She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands and let out a long and loud yawn to then turn her body and hug Wendy by the waist, hiding her face between her chest to keep her scent. She, like her girlfriend, adored all these tender but strange mornings

"Good morning" the actress spoke in a dry voice

"Good morning, baby bear" Wendy smiled and this time she kissed the top of her beloved's head "Did you sleep well?"

"The best sleep I've had in weeks"

Wendy ran her hands through her lover's hair over and over again. The silence that followed made her sure that the actress had fallen asleep once more in her arms and was so comfortable that she didn't even think about moving around or laying back on the pillow. However, Seulgi suddenly broke away from the embrace

"Are you nervous for tomorrow?"

The question was obvious but Wendy didn't want to say anything

"Sure, the concert is in a huge place. There will be many people"

Seulgi chuckled before grinning from ear to ear, her eyes becoming crescent moons that Wendy longed to kiss over and over again without rest.

"That's nothing, I'm sure it's going to be amazing"

The singer then wanted to hide all her frustrations and insecurities with a strategy she had never implemented. Even though there were days when the lust for Seulgi consumed her, she never dared to have with her. Wendy didn't want to make this relationship merely ual, nor did she want to believe they were going too fast, she wanted to take her time. Wendy wanted it to be something special, on a meaningful day. Almost like her character did in that movie where she met Seulgi

Seulgi reacted with surprise when Wendy straddled her and placed her hands on her chest

"Uhm... Wen? What are you doing, darling?"

"What do you think? Tomorrow I'm going on a trip... I need a good memory of you"

I need to make sure you love me

Everything had been spontaneous, Wendy suddenly felt full of lust for that moment even when Seulgi's eyes screamed confusion and doubt. The actress placed her hands on her girlfriend waist and sat on the bed to have a better position, more comfortable

"Are you sure about this, Wen?"

There was Seulgi again, being loving and kind and making the void in Wendy's heart grow a little more. Seulgi was holding back for her... What kind of girlfriend was Wendy if she couldn't meet the needs of whom she loved?

"More sure than ever, Seul"

So that morning Wendy gave herself to Seulgi in the best way she found, allowing herself to love and be caressed in a way that only Seulgi could do. Her girlfriend marked her body with slight bites, her fingers gripping too hard on the soft skin, her sighs and moans would be stored in her mind like a music track. None of the best of Wendy's dreams was compared to the reality of making love with Seulgi.

The delicacy, patience and attention with which her girlfriend acted made the demons inside Wendy's heart muted, more calm, silent.

However, she was too exhausted and tired to hear those important words coming from Seulgi

"I love you so much, Wendy"

 Two months passed

Wendy's Asia tour was a real success. So much, that the directors of her agency decided to promote the recording of a new album for all the fans. Wendy was barely a week away from returning home and singing in front of the audience in the country that made her known to the world

In those two months she never spoke to Seulgi

Her schedule was very tight and between rehearsals, concert and planning she never managed to talk to her girlfriend. Wendy also knew that it wasn't an excuse, she always had a couple of minutes where she could talk to her but she ignored them, she ignored them completely. Seulgi should be worried at this point, no matter how long it'll take her to answer messages it would never take more than two months

What if it she really wasn't enough for Seulgi?

Her demons came back stronger and she couldn't calm them down. Since they recorded the movie a year ago, Wendy already felt that she wasn't good enough for Seulgi and that her girlfriend was flying a lot higher. Now it only made her feel scared because if Seulgi flew much higher then she didn't want to go down and Wendy was still on the ground...

Losing Seulgi would be like losing a part of her soul.

The last stop in Malaysia was about to begin. The arena was at its maximum capacity and the staff made the last preparations to start. In the dressing room of the great artist there was still a doubt floating in the dense air. Wendy looked in front of the mirror in her dressing room and checked the details of her wardrobe and her accessories. If she paid attention to her reflection she could see the marks of that day when she surrendered to Seulgi: she could feel her teeth on her collarbone, or her fingers slipping under her shirt, her wet lips whispering in her ear and working wonders. Wendy still felt so owned by Seulgi...

As per actions of destiny, she took her phone and dial her girlfriend's number (registered as "Baby Bear")

The phone rang three times

The number you've dialed is outside the service area...

Wendy looked at her phone as if it was haunted or possessed and tried once more. The bell rang three times again, with the exception that this time there was an answer. A calm but cold voice, absent of affection and tenderness, absent of evenings in front of the television and empty Pringles boats thrown in the middle of the room

"Everything's alright?"

"Seul... its so good to hear your voice"

There was a sigh on the other side of the line

"Why didn't you call? I know you're busy but... this is too much. What happened?"

Wendy couldn't talk about her biggest pain

"The schedule is tight. I'm sorry"

"I spent days wondering what I did wrong and what mistake I made for you not to call. I thought everything was over and my heart was broken. I thought that after that morning you had what you wanted to leave me"

Wendy felt something in her chest choking her

"You still there?"

"I am so sorry"

A new sigh, longer than the previous one

"Was it because of what we did? Do you regret it?"

Suddenly nothing made any sense for the singer

"Seul, I would never regret it-"

Silence, loud

"Forget it ... it's unimportant. Good luck at the concert"

And now that little relationship they called home at a time in their lives, was filled with coldness and became what Wendy always feared: a memory

By the time Wendy wanted to respond, Seulgi had already hung up the call

From that point on, Wendy doesn't remember anything

She remembers that in the distance she heard the voice of her manager and that of her makeup artist saying she had to take care of the makeup during the first part of the concert because there wouldn't be a long enough break until the middle of the concert where Wendy would go to change. She remembers that some of the audio technicians told something about the order of the songs but can't remember what it was. Everything was blurry

The only thing she is sure of is the guilt that suddenly had become very big

Wendy was so busy thinking that Seulgi didn't love her and that she was a burden on her instead of realizing the true signs of that love. Maybe for Wendy "love" meant kisses, hugs, caresses, laughs and movies or eating ice cream in the park. But for Seulgi it was different: the patience, tenderness, delicacy and respect she had for her was because she loved and respected her not because it was a burden

Maybe those words were needed now...

"Wendy-ah, forget to show you this"

One of her makeup artists left the dressing room for a few moments and returned with a huge bouquet of blue roses. Wendy knew those roses were not natural, there was no such thing in nature but she was sure who they belonged to. She was sure who had sent them

In them, there was a hidden card

For my one and only. I love you

Kang Seulgi

"It's a gift from your love, right?" The makeup artist spoke with a mocking tone without knowing the hurricane of emotions that was beginning to develop within Wendy's heart. An uncontrolled hurricane that destroyed everything in its path just before something as important as the end of its tour throughout Asia

Without thinking about the makeup or the time she had available, Wendy put a hand to and began to cry. Sobs too intense to hide. Both her manager and the makeup artist tried to calm her and joke with her about how sensitive she was but Wendy couldn't ignore the immense love she felt for Seulgi

   And there was only one way to apologize and show her how sorry he was

The concert began, the introduction roared wildly across the stage and the audience shouted excitedly. The first few minutes of the concert, Wendy dedicated herself to delighting her audience with the most intense and active songs she had in her entire repertoire. She pushed the sadness wat the end of her mind and felt to finally order her thoughts

When the second half of the concert was about to begin, Wendy put her plan into action

"This is a song for my one and only"

The audience shouted excited, the singer could see how several people began to record with their phone and Wendy was sure that tomorrow she would be in the main news of her country and many others. She knew that some would accuse her of promoting an agenda and others would tell her that she could be in hell

But Seulgi was worth it

"I love you"

With those words, the first notes of her manifesto began to sound

Time To Love

Wendy returned to her hotel room near midnight

Her staff proposed to go celebrate but she refused. It was a day full of emotions and feelings of all kinds and she was exhausted not only physically but also mentally. She still was a week away from home and she just wanted to forget music for a moment, wanted to sleep and wake up next to Seulgi and mock her for sleeping with open and snoring like a literal bear

She hugged the bouquet of blue roses tightly. When she opened the door of her room she found the biggest surprise she could find

Seulgi was sitting on the bed of the place

Wendy forgot the bouquet and dropped it to the ground to run to her beloved and tackle her against the bed, hugging her so hard like she was about to disappear. Seulgi laughed while she answered the gesture

"Did you really think I'm missing the end of your tour?"

"I'm sorry for doubting you... I thought you didn't love me, I thought I was a burden for you...I'm sorry"

Seulgi said nothing, just kissed her cheek

"I love you. I'll tell you that all the times you need so you never forget"

The actress cradled her girlfriend face between her hands

"Now it's really time to love"
