Seulgi sighed after Irene brought her out for training.

"What's with the sigh?" Irene asked.

"It feels like they're still treating me as a kid." Seulgi huffed, crossing her arms around her chest.

"You'll always be a baby bear in our eyes." Irene teased and gently pat the younger woman's head.

"Well, what are we doing? Are we going to train?" Irene shook her head before muttering the word later. Irene then asked if Seulgi would like to go for a walk with her to clear her mind.

"E-Eh? A-Are you sure you want to go on a walk with me?" Seulgi tilted her head to the side, unsure.

"I did ask you didn't I?" Irene teased the younger woman who nodded her head with a blush present on her cheeks. 'Seulgi-ah, you're too cute...' 

Irene grinned and led them to a small park within the vicinity, walking in silence. The two then took a seat on the bench and sat in comfortable silence before Irene let out a small sigh. "Seulgi-ah, I have a story I want to tell you. Will you listen?" Irene shyly made eye contact with Seulgi who nodded her head enthusiastically. Irene couldn't help but smile fondly at the younger woman.

"Once upon a time, there were two princesses who loved one another deeply but neither of the princesses knew that their feelings were mutual. They didn't confess to one another either as the two feared of what could happen because it was forbidden and a taboo. They tried to not think about the other but it was fruitless.

"On one fine day, when the two families were holding a party, one of the princesses drank too much alcohol and confessed her feelings towards the other. The other princess was surprised but happy. They started seeing each other secretly but not for long as their families found out the truth." Irene paused, looking up into the sky as Seulgi listen eagerly.

"Back in the olden days, for a woman to like another woman, it is considered a taboo. Not to mention that both of them are the princess to their own respective kingdoms. The act was considered a disgrace to the family and of course, both King and Queen from their respective kingdoms were adamant on letting their children be together. The society back then was not acceptive of this kind of love too but the two princesses did not give up and they both then ran away from their kingdoms." Irene stopped with a small smile.

"Did they live happily ever after?" Irene gave a small nod and Seulgi couldn't help but to let out a relive sighed. "That's beautiful. It felt like all they needed was one another to fight against the world." Seulgi grinned, leaning back into the seat.

"Isn't it weird though? For two women to be in love with one another?" Irene was curious about how Seulgi viewed homouality.

"Nope... I mean, take Taeyeon-unnie and Tiffany-unnie as an example. They both love one another deeply and they believe in each other too." Seulgi ran her fingers through her hair before staring straight into Irene's eyes.

"I don't think gender is a problem. As long as two individuals love another and cherish each other, I think that is more important than some biological gender." Irene hummed in agreement before shying away from Seulgi's gaze.

"S-Seulgi-ah, I have something to confess." Irene fidgets in her seat. Seulgi had a brow raised at the unusual behaviour.

"Hearing your thoughts on h-homouality is rather, reassuring. S-Seulgi, actually I l-like you." Irene confessed, her cheeks burning red while Seulgi had her jaw dropped in surprise.

"I mean, I l-like you too, Irene-unnie?" Seulgi stated in confusion. Irene shook her head and started blabbering. " Kang Seulgi! I mean I like you in an I want to hug you, kiss you, call you mine, sleep with you, have with you and in the end get married with you kind of way!" Irene gasped, a hand covering her lips as she realized what she had just said.

'Oh my Lord... Someone kill me please.' Irene turned into a blushing red mess, burying her face into her hands.

Seulgi stared blankly at Irene before realizing. "You want to have with me?" Irene groaned into her hands causing Seulgi to giggle. Seulgi slowly reached out and held Irene's hands in hers, tracing random shapes to calm the older woman.

"Joohyun-unnie... Before I say anything else, is there anything you want to add?" Seulgi smiled encouragingly at the older woman who slowly nodded her head.

"I k-know you may not like me back but I just needed to tell you how I feel. The way you smile when you see something you like, the way you whine because you can't eat your Pringles,
