After that kiss, Seulgi knew that things between her and Irene will never be the same. For the better? For the worse? She didnt know and didn't dare to find out. She didn't assume the better option because she didn't want to get her hopes up.

Seulgi didnt know how to face Irene. Whenever Seulgi saw Irene, she would quickly scurry away in the other direction. She also stopped going to the art room. She knew if she encounters her in school, she would undoubtedly be a red mess.
