‘She is a problematic child’   Irene grew up hearing that words, so she wasn't amazed or stunned by it; she was used to it. She was a shy child, couldn't speak a word but everything changed drastically after that night. She didn't want anyone; not she wanted to be nice. She just did what her mind told her too.    She is beautiful and that's no lie, for that she takes the advantage of playing around. Love is useless to her, she doesn't believe in those fated stories and about happy ending. She could rather laugh and hang out with others while luring them on loving her. She didn't love anyone yet she wanted the attention and love from others.    Irene is the type of girl to snatch what she wants.   Wendy, a mere girl and very humble. Irene despises those kinds of people; sweet and enthusiastic. She had noticed the girl few times around school but she didn't give any about it. But their encounter at the roof made Irene realize how interesting of a person Wendy truly is. She didn't feel alone that day, rather amused by Wendy’s actions and panic face.   She could be avoiding this type of scenario but she unconsciously wants to go near Wendy. Irene likes to be alone and doesn't want to invade her thoughts, but Wendy does. Her every reactions amuses Irene for some odd reason, no one has ever wanted to get to know about her but Wendy wants to, that ticked off Irene in a good way. She hadn't felt this nice in a long time.   Irene invited Wendy for the Saturday stroll because she wanted to have some time, but for reason she doesn't want to go. What would Wendy do if she ditched her? Crossed her mind so she planned a sudden date with Kai, whom she totally doesn't care.    Irene does go to see Wendy though, if she could be waiting. Irene’s heart ached when she saw Wendy sitting at one of the wooden bench. That remorse look in Wendy’s face thrilled her.    She then just smirked and went away, leaving Wendy to be.    Of course Irene apologized to Wendy the next day, making excuses and stuff but she was happy inside. She was clear on her goal, Wendy is interesting and she wanted Wendy all to herself. She wanted every ounce of attention from Wendy and she could go crazy if that doesn't happen.   Irene described Wendy as a easy going person who could give all the love she has for the person she cared, and Irene wanted to be the one. So, she didn't like Seulgi at all.    Wendy was too sweet to Seulgi and they looked really good together, Irene didn't like it. She didn't like how Seulgi could get Wendy’s attention and be so close to her. She had to eliminate Seulgi  in a way.    Irene sat casually playing with her phone, dialing Wendy’s number. She knew that Seulgi was there, and she needed to break their moment. So, she did what she was best at. She faked a scenario. She sobbed,   “Please…save me”   Irene ended the call and switched off the phone she rarely used. She jumped back on her bed and sighed,   “Now, you'll only worry about me, Wendy”     ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪     “Kai told that Irene doesn't have a phone, she calls him through her house telephone” Seulgi got off from the phone after having a little chat with Kai about Irene. Wendy was getting worried and Seulgi didn't like to see that, so she called up Kai.   “Are  you sure it was Irene?” Seulgi slowly asked to calm down Wendy, who was lost in the moment.   Wendy nodded her head and stared at her, “It was her. What if something happened to her?”   “Why would she call you? How did she even get your number?” Seulgi questioned.   “That's not the point, Seulgi. What if she needs help?” Wendy said, pacing back and forth, leaving her joystick on the ground and thinking about Irene.   “Come on, calm down. Are you even sure that was Irene? She wouldn't call you this late at night, you guys don't even talk.” Seulgi pointed out the facts so that Wendy could just go to sleep and worry less about Irene.   “We've talked few times, and I'm sure that's Irene.” Wendy said as she looked Seulgi impatiently.   “Let's just go to sleep and go search for Irene tomorrow. She'll be back at school tomorrow, don't worry.” Seulgi comforted her but she seriously needed to ask Wendy on how they started to talk next time. Now, she had to soothe Wendy in a way.   Wendy looked as if she didn't want to sleep yet but what choices did they have? They didn't know where Irene lived, or anything. So, Wendy just went to bed, still hoping that Irene is fine.    “Wendy, you worry too much. You shouldn't worry about Irene, it might be a prank too. Kai is there to worry about her, don't get involved around her.” Seulgi whispered.   Wendy could only reply,   “You don't understand.”   That broke Seulgi’s heart.     ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪    
“I'm single.” Joy casually confessed the next day and Yeri choked. Seulgi just gave a small reaction, still not over the fact that Wendy looked worried. Irene was absent today and that just made Wendy really anxious and nervous. She couldn't focus the whole day.   “He dumped you finally.” Yeri smirked but got a smack from Joy afterwards.   “More like I dumped him.” Joy rolled her eyes.   Seulgi chuckled, “You were so in love with him.”   “It changed. I mean, we don't quite fit in with eachother anymore. It was a mutual break up.” Joy said and Yeri gave her a tissue, saying ‘don't lie and just cry’.   “Wendy? Are you alive?” Joy called out but Wendy didn't answer. She was patiently waiting for Kai to come so she could inquire him about Irene's whereabouts.   “So, now you don't even reply me.” Joy said dramatically but Wendy just gives a fake smile.   “You should date Jackson.” Wendy replied because she wanted Jackson to date someone so he could stop bothering her even after she has rejected the latter so many times.   Joy shook her head, “He only loves you. You should date him.”   “But I don't love him. There's a difference, Joy.”    “Can we stop talking about love? It's gross.” Yeri interfered and Seulgi could only agree more.   Just then, Kai and Jackson walked towards their table, talking between themselves.   “How are you guys?” Kai greeted even though he had in the morning.    “Wendy, could I sit here?” Jackson asked because he wanted to stay beside Wendy.    Wendy nodded her head and turned to face Kai, who was smiling while eating his lunch. She opened to ask about Irene but Yeri beat her to that.   “Where is Irene unnie?”    Kai smiled, “Oh, she went to Daegu with her mom and dad. She'll be back after few days.”   What?   Wendy furrowed her brows as the confusion grew.   “Did sh
