Once Seulgi got outside, she ran a couple of blocks before finding a bench to rest on.  She tried to calm herself down, to stop crying, but she couldn’t.  Seulgi didn’t want to cry, but she couldn’t help it, everything was just... wrong.

Wendy was dating Irene.  That was not okay.  It made Seulgi mad just thinking about it.  But Seulgi was also starting to feel a little guilty about what she said to her best friend, Wendy.

Wendy made a point.  She did deserve to be selfish.  But Seulgi also has a right to be selfish, right?  Seulgi hates questioning everything, it was making her head hurt, but she couldn’t go back to the dorm without a game plan.  After all, everyone heard the confrontation.  Even Irene...

“Hey Unnie.”

Seulgi suddenly looked up to find Yeri smiling down at her, holding out a jacket.  Seulgi smiled, despite the tears, and grabbed the jacket offered by the maknae.  She scooted over, giving the younger girl room to sit on the bench, which she did.

“How are you feeling.”

Seulgi figured Yeri heard everything, so she didn’t even bother sugarcoating it.  “Pretty horrible.  I said some mean stuff to Wendy, but I’m still angry with her... I’m just really confused.”

Yeri hummed.  “I think I can help, but you gotta tell me everything.”

Seulgi nodded, fully aware of Yeri’s secret wisdom.

“Obviously you were mad at Wendy for dating Joohyun.”

Although it wasn’t a question, Seulgi nodded in affirmation.

“Wendy assumed it was because you like her, which is very plausible, but I have a hunch it’s because of something else.”

Seulgi cocked her head in confusion “What do you mean?”

“You are upset that Wendy is dating Joohyun because Joy likes Wendy.”

Seulgi’s eyes widened.  “But w-why would I be upset with that?” Crap.  She basically just confirmed Joy’s secret.  Seulgi was trying her best to keep Joy’s affection for Wendy a secret, even going so far as to not deny Wendy’s claim that she liked Irene, but it looked like it was for nothing.

“Because you like Joy.”

“N-no, I don’t...” at least, Seulgi didn’t think she liked Joy like that.  She just wanted her to be happy, and Wendy being with Irene prevented Joy’s happiness.  “I just, think she deserves to be happy.”

“And Wendy?”

Seulgi’s face scrunched in confusion.  “What do you mean?”
