Crooked

My Stubborn Keeper

Irene paced back and forth, getting really tensed. She shouldn't be but everything is making her head pain. She even drank two large smoothies but it didn't help her at all. Moreover, it's already the weekend and still the thought of Kim Yerim haunts her. “Are you okay?” Jisoo asked fully concerned for her sister who had been pacing like the world was ending or something dramatic like that. Jisoo had just finished her lunch date with her colleagues this fine Saturday, but seeing Irene all stressed up for the past few days and even now made her worried. Irene greeted Jisoo, which happens rarely but it does happen. She slowly scowled and shook her head, “Nothing is going fine. That woman showing up and now even her daughter…” Jisoo almost spat her saliva, “Your sister!?” It was unbelievable to hear something like that, Irene had kept tracks on her half baby sister since she was born and she had vowed to never ever meet her personally or so. “Apparently. She came to meet me a few days ago…” Irene mumbled as she sat down on the fluffy couch which she had ordered from a fancy shop. It was really good and made her feel like she was sitting in some cloud. Jisoo thought for a second and she sighed, “I can imagine you locking her out. You probably said some like ‘get out’, am I right?” Irene kept quiet because it was true, what was she supposed to do anyway in that matter? Mingle with her half blood baby sister whose mom had destroyed her life including her loving father's? Was she suppose to invite her for tea? That was bizarre. “She doesn't mean anything to me so I have no reason to chit chat with her.” Irene subtly said and it was quite aggressive but Jisoo didn't believe her, I mean who could when Irene still keeps her sister’s newly born picture around? Irene just acts strong outside but Jisoo knows how fragile she is. “Tell that lie to someone else, not me. You can't blame her for your mother’s mistake.” Jisoo sipped her lemon juice as she questionably looked at Irene, who seemed that she needed some good sleep. Irene paused, looked at Jisoo and dropped her head low for a reason, “I don't blame her….it's just I don't want to…I can't get attached to her.” The air around Irene suddenly got cold and Jisoo knew that it was the moment to stop Irene to overthink and possibly let her cry, so she stood up, smiling as big as the moon visible from the large window. “Let's go out for now. It's Saturday after all, we need to party and booze.” Jisoo mentioned as she took out her phone and typed crazily, Irene looking her confused as ever. “I texted Jennie and Lisa. You call up Seul and your cute bodyguard.” Jisoo said followed by the wink that made Irene roll her eyes. She quickly did what Jisoo told her to, she didn't want to go out and just laze around the house but she knew that she needed this. She wanted to drink the thoughts away. Irene quickly hit up Seulgi about it but didn't contact Wendy. Irene knew the schedule of Wendy and moreover she had given the latter the day off because of it, Wendy worked at a bar over the weekends. “I know the perfect bar that could suit us” Irene said to Jisoo, smirking a little bit and going over her closet to dress up. Jisoo agreed on whatever place Irene decides on because she knows Seoul better than Jisoo, who had already forgotten routes to her own house. Jisoo also went her room so she could be ready, already excited about tonight. She definitely liked going out but she had to make a quick call to someone back waiting for her, she still feels giddy thinking about that dear person. She has yet to say it to Irene, that could wait for awhile. It was certainly more chilly outside than they both had predicted. Those short dresses didn't help them at all, so Irene quickly ordered the maid to bring a fur coat for her. But, Jisoo didn't complain and just rolled like it, that's the fun part of it anyway. Irene with her little black dress hugged to her perfect body and her hair perfectly loosened over her shoulder made it breathtaking. Every boy could faint for it. “You dressed up way to much” Jisoo chuckled. A scoff made it's way from Irene’s mouth as she examined the car. She clicked her tongue, “We are not taking the SUV this time.” “What car would you like to take, Young Lady?” One of the maid asked before Jisoo would complain, she was fine with the SUV but Irene thought otherwise. Irene turned towards Jisoo, “Dad got me this brand new car for getting good grades, I haven't driven that.” “What's the point of gifting you a car when you don't even know how to drive?” Jisoo rolled her eyes totally baffled by how much their dad spoiled them. He even bought a private jet in Jisoo’s name so she could use it to travel and especially come back home. She liked the gesture but it was really…not needed. Irene grabbed the new car keys from the hands of the maid and walked towards the end of the garage where her shiny black convertible BMW M6 stood. With a grin on her face, she jumped happily, “We are so riding this today. You drive” Jisoo almost stumbled trying to catch the keys Irene suddenly threw at her. She sighed and nodded, she knew how to drive and she didn't want to upset Irene by saying ‘no’. “Come on, get in. Lets leave the roof open, we need to feel the breeze!” Irene settled down peacefully at the shot gun, gesturing Jisoo to come already. Throughout their lovely windy ride, they didn't speak, just sang through the song’s lyrics. Both of them had a very unique and distinct voice and they could seriously be singers if they had taken that path. “We need to go shopping tomorrow, I need new clothes.” Irene suddenly said. “Yah! You had a bunch of clothes in your huge closet!” Irene sighed and groaned, “They are out of brand now, new ones must be mine.” “Dad spoils you too much…” Jisoo muttered which gained a glare from Irene, who wants to disagree. “You can't say that to me when he gave you a personal plane!” Irene fired back. “He gifted me that, I didn't even ask for it. I don't even use it!” Jisoo said while stopping the car when the lights turned red. Irene shook her head, not believing Jisoo at all, “He gifted me the car and his card…I didn't ask for it” “You could've returned them you know, not the car but the card?” Irene looked Jisoo with bored eyes, “How dumb can you be? Why would a daughter deny her father’s love? Not me” Jisoo couldn't do anything than just laugh it off, starting the car again after the lights turned green. She had no win with Irene so she just let the conversation slip, “Let's not talk about it, we’re not here to fight.” “As if you could win anyway…” Irene grinned, enjoying the wind and the starless sky above. All she needs now is a drink and to see her bodyguard. (…) “Why are the ones that invited us late? Not so punctual” Jennie commented as soon as Irene and Jisoo went over the table they were relaxing on. Jisoo laughed and apologized while Irene replied, “Stars always come late” There was a huge laughter heard and it was non other than Seulgi, who had clutched her stomach. Irene gritted her teeth because Seulgi idiot was messing with her. “Stars always come late” Seulgi said again mimicking Irene’s voice, which sounded like a dying horse with all those sudden laugh in the middle while mimicking. Irene couldn't help but smile as she looked away, “Are you already drunk, Seul? How much did you drink?” With what Seulgi replied by grabbing her glass and showing it to Irene, “It's non alcoholic.” Irene nodded but her eyes seemed to go over that familiar spot behind the bar and grinned as she saw who she had been expecting, Wendy. Irene almost melted because of Wendy’s work attire, it made her look mature and different. “Don't stare at her too much, if you want her that much then just go and talk.” Jennie broke the ice by saying it bluntly. Everyone had thought the same but only Jennie had the guts to talk with Irene like that especially when it came to Wendy. Irene turned to stare Jennie, who had a playful smirk and Irene didn't like that at all, “Shut your face, I didn't even know she worked here.” Irene thought they would believe it but almost slapped the out if Lisa when that kid blurted out, “But you threw a fit last time when we came here. You were all over her, unnie” Lisa had a happy smile while remembering it, not getting the intention of Irene’s death glares. Just how oblivious can this girl be? There was a reason on why Irene glared Lisa but why was Jennie glaring her lover too? Jisoo and Seulgi looked dumbfounded. “What the hell are you pissed at?” Jisoo questioned while nudging Jennie, who seemed frozen and furious. Jennie coldly stated while grabbing Lisa, “You came to this bar with Irene?” Lisa started to sweat, Jisoo sympathized the latter because mad Jennie is ba

Chapter 20: This story is really funny, I had a good laugh, thank you authornim. I love their banter, sarcasm and especially Wenrene's dynamic from the beginning until the conflict.

I felt frustrated though with the klimaks. The way the pull and push each other, I guess you really got me there. Ngl, I even need a little break for that, to calm my mind

I understand where Seungwan is coming from, she did that because she was upset and scared. I'm also glad with Irene's character development tho I didn't quite get why she left Wendy just like that and came back like nothing happened. If I was Wendy, I would be angry too. But then again, Wendy was being unnecessary dishonest about her relationship with Eunwoo, so I guess they just love being annoying to some extent

Overall, I love and am satisfied with this fanfic. Thank you for making this authornim
