Irene abruptly wakes up from her sleep when someone smack her on the face. She was about to attack the person until she realized that she isn’t in her own room and the person who smack her is Iris. Iris is still fast asleep and her leg were propped on Irene’s stomach.

“Oh gosh, I must have fallen asleep while reading for Iris.” said Irene to herself. Irene slowly removes Iris’s leg off her, and slowly get off the bed. She tucks Iris and cover her expose tummy with the blanket. Irene search for her phone to check on the time and she was so shocked when she saw that it’s already 630am in the morning.

“Ah …” she mentally cursed, she afraid what Wendy is going to think of her. She slowly leave Iris room and once she steps into the living room she could smell the wonderful food smell. She goes to the bathroom to wash her face and brushes her teeth, she thank herself for bringing her toothbrush and toothpaste to anywhere she goes. 

Wendy woke up early to prepare breakfast and lunch box for the kids, and she prepared porridge for Ryujin and Iris. 

“Good morning.” Irene softly greets.

“Good morning princess.” Wendy replied back which almost give Irene a heart attack, did Wendy knew she was a princess? Why did Wendy greeted her like that?

“Why did you called me a princess?”

“Because you are, no correctly, you were a princess...aren’t you?” Wendy said.

“You knew?”

“I run a background check up on you because at first I couldn’t believe in your story…but after I found out that you were a princess, and I asked myself why would a princess want to do any harm to me and my family…”

“Wendy… I really mean you no harm, I just...wanted to befriend with you again… never in my life have I ever felt what I felt in my dream. It was pure bliss and happiness...I want to feel that feeling again.”

Wendy turn off the gas, and approaches Irene, she wipes the tears that were threatening to fall down from Irene’s eyes. Irene flinches because she was afraid that Wendy would do something to her, but she relax when she felt Wendy’s warm hand touching her face. Wendy other hand reach for Irene’s hand and she guides Irene’s hand to her chest. She places Irene’s hand on her chest and stares into Irene’s eyes “This heart… it’s been awhile since it beats like this.”

Irene can feel her face getting hotter and her heart rate is increasing at Wendy’s gesture and the fact that both of their bodies are getting closer.

“Am I crazy for feeling this way?” Wendy asked as she leans in closer to Irene. Irene takes a few steps back until she is trapped between the cabinet and Wendy. She kinda like this bold Wendy compared to the shy Wendy in her dream.

“Tell me Irene...is it normal for a human heart to beat this fast?” Wendy asks again.

“Nno…” Irene stutters when she answers and she never stutter no matter in what situation.

“Then… can I ki…”

“Good morning~”

Irene pushes Wendy away when Chaeryoung’s voices disturbed their moments. Wendy falls on her when Irene pushes her away. Chaeryoung was bewildered when she enters the kitchen and saw Wendy on the floor.

“Unnie, what are you doing sitting on the kitchen floor?” Chaeryoung asked innocently.

Wendy glares at Irene who throws Wendy an apologetic look, Wendy chuckles and then she laughs while shaking her head, she looks up to the confused Chaeryoung and say, “I fall.”

Irene helps Wendy to gets up and apologizes again, before Irene could walk away, Wendy grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her closer to whisper to her ear “We need to talk, later, when the kids all go to school.” 

Wendy let go and then turn to Chaeryoung “Chaer ah, can you go wake the other up? Breakfast is ready.”

“Oh!! Alrighty!” replied Chaeryoung happily and she hops to the others room to wake them up.

Wendy plated the bimbimbap and scoop the soup for into a big bowl. Irene asks if she could help, Wendy asked Irene to put the plate on the dining table. Irene still couldn't shake off the feeling she felt earlier. The thrill and the electricity that shoot down her spine. She steals a glance at Wendy and she quickly look away when their eyes met. Wendy smirks at Irene’s reaction, and she thinks that it’s cute.

Yuna comes in first, followed by Yeji and Chaeryoung who is holding a sleepy Iris in her arms. Wendy goes to get Iris from Chaeryoung “Unnie, Iris woke up and look for you.”

“Thanks Chaeryoung. Iris ah, you’re a good girl that you didn’t cry.” Wendy praised her daughter and give her many many kisses. Iris feels ticklish and she tries to reject her mother. 

“Anyway, did you wake Ryujin and Lia up? Yeji is here why didn’t you wake the two of them together?” Wendy asked Chearyoung.

“I moved to Chaeryoung and Yuna’s room last night after Ryujin kicked me out of bed.” said Yeji with a yawn.

“Oooh~ bimbimbap!” Yuna exclaims as Irene serves breakfast to them.

“Unnie, you should go and wake her up.” said Chaeryoung.

“Ohkay…Irene here, hold Iris for me.”

Irene takes Iris from Wendy and she puts her in the baby chair.

Wendy went to Ryujin room, she didn’t even think to knock on the door and just walks in “Ryujinie, Lia breakfast is ready! OH MY GOD!!!” Wendy quickly cover her eyes when she saw her adopted daughter is half in her bed. “Ryujin!! You’re a still underage!! What are you doing with Lia!!”

“UNNIE!! CHILL!! IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!!” Ryujin shouted as she panicked, and she quickly cover her body with the blanket.

“Ryuddaeng ah, where do you put the clean...oh Wendy unnie.” Lia greeted Wendy with a calm voice.

“Lia! What did this rascal did to you?!” asked Wendy as she grabs on Lia’s shoulder.

“We didn’t do anything...” said Lia calmly.

“Then why the heck is she half ?!”

Lia looks over to Ryujin who shyly cover her body and then to the enrage Wendy, she laughs and holds her stomach.

“Unnie, I think there’s a misunderstanding, I was going to help Ryujin to wipes her body, since the doctor asked her to avoid taking a shower. I asked her to take off her tops so it’ll be easier to wipe her body.” explained Lia to the angry and confused Wendy.

Wendy realized her mistake and she takes a step back, “Oh…well you two carry on, I ugh...you can come out to join us for breakfast later. I have made your favourite porridge Ryujin.” Wendy dashes out from the room and calm herself before joining the girls.

“Your mom is cute…” said Lia to Ryujin.

“I can’t believe she thought we’re having .” said Ryujin with a pout.

Lia blushes when she heard what Ryujin said, and Ryujin saw the blush, she immediately tried to change her statement “I mean we can’t have ! I mean I wanted to, but not now, I mean...we’re still too young, but I really wanted to have with you, but not now!” said Ryujin panickedly.

Lia climbs up on the bed and approaches Ryujin, their faces got closer and Ryujin was expecting a kiss from Lia but the latter only got a cold cloth planted on her face. “Yah unnie!” Ryujin whines in disappointment.

“Come on Ryujinie, we’ll clean you up after you had your breakfast okay? The others are waiting.” said Lia as she handed Ryujin her tops. 

***

“We heard all of that.” Said Yeji and Yuna in unison “That’s why we didn’t dare to even go in that room.” Chaeryoung added.

“Nope, they are not doing what I thought they were doing, so everything is fine.” said Wendy with an awkward laugh “Anyway girls! Tomorrow is Saturday, do you girls have anything to do?”

“Not really. We don’t have extra classes.” said the girls.

“Great, let’s go to the amusement park tomorrow! It’s all on me, don’t worry!” Wendy invited them.

“Wow really unnie?!!”

Irene was too busy feeding the sleepy Iris her porridge, she heard that Wendy invited the girls to go, but she wishes that it was only her and Wendy, but she knows how much Wendy treasures the girls, so she let it slide.

RV Dorm

Joy woke up early and tried to cook some breakfast for the team, but she failed miserably. Her toast burned and her sunny side up eggs turn out to be a total disaster. Joy sulked and she throws all of the failure into the rubbish bin, and decided to call for delivery.

Yeri was the second member to wake up. She yawns and stretches herself at the living room. Yeri turns on her bluetooth and play some music. She plays blackpink forever young on the bluetooth speaker and even start to dance to the song.

“Can you not be so loud in the morning?” Seulgi complained when she comes out of her room with tired eyes.

“You should thanked me for waking you up~” said Yeri with a smirk.

Seulgi just ignores Yeri and went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of milk for herself. She spotted Joy sitting on a stool at the kitchen counter. “Morning.” she greeted even though she is still a little angry at Joy after the kiss incident.

“Morning unnie~” Joy greets back in a joyful tone “Oh unnie! Let’s go to the amusement park tomorrow! I’ve bought us express tickets!” said Joy excitedly.

“Hmm...I rather stay at home and rest.” Said Seulgi with less enthusiastic tone.

“But Seulgi unnie, it’s been awhile since the three of us go out together!” Said Joy with a pout.

“You and Yerim go, I’ll just stay at our dorm.”

Yeri who had heard the two of them talking in the kitchen walks to the kitchen to help Joy out. 

“Unnie, let’s go. If you don’t want to go because of Joy unnie then do it for me.” 

Seulgi drinks her milk while eyes stares at Yeri and then diverted to Joy. She exhales after she finished her milk and nods “Fine, I’ll go.” Seulgi said reluctantly and she left the kitchen to go watch TV in the living room. 

Yeri approaches Joy and said “You owe me big.”

“It’ll be all on me tomorrow.” Joy said with a grin, “Did you manage to find a date for tomorrow? You know I got a friend if you need one.”

“Jennie unnie said she’ll call her friend but it seems like there’s no reply from her side, so I guess I’ll go as a third wheeler.” said Yeri with a loud sigh.

“Oh shush you don’t have to be a third wheeler, I’ll invite my friend to come.”

“Your friend who?” Yeri asked while sipping on her strawberry milk.

“Your crush Kim Saeron.” said Joy cheekily and Yeri almost spits her milk out.

“Wait no! Not her!!”

“Why not? You always told me you likes her and since I got the chance to work with her currently, and I already got her number~ consider this as a favour from your unnie.” said Joy, ignoring Yeri who tried to snatch the phone away from her.

“Yah Park Sooyoung if you call her I’m not going to call you unnie anymore!”

“Oh even better~”

“Yah!!”

 

Jisoo House

“Do you really have to go?” Jisoo whines when Rosé gets up from the bed. Rosé puts on her clothes and turns to Jisoo to give the girl a quick peck and said “Unnie it’s 10am now, I have classes to attend.”

“You’re dating the college’s chairman Chaeng ah, you can skip classes any day you want~”

Rosé scoffs and crossed her arms “That’s exactly what I don’t want to hear especially from you unnie. Do you know that I’m having a hard time at college because people are spreading rumors about us? They said I get good grades because I dated you and not because I spend sleepless nights studying till my brain cramp.”

“Woah woah, slow down there, is this why you were super angry with me last night?”

“No...I wasn’t angry at you, I was angry at those people who spread false rumors… I was happy when you asked me to be your girlfriend, but it’s getting out of hand…”

Jisoo sits up on her bed, she gently tap the empty space next to her and asked Rosé to sit, Rosé comply and she sits there, with pouting face. Jisoo caress her lover’s cheek “Gosh, I really love you...and you know I wanted the best for you… and I expected these things will happen but Chaengie-ah, sometimes it is better if you just ignore them and be who you are. I know how sensitive you are when it comes to negative comment, but I want you to know that no matter what happens, I will always be here for you. So screw all those people that spread rumors about you. If they care for you they won’t believe the rumors.”

Rosé feels a little better after listening to Jisoo’s advises. She is grateful to Jisoo all the times, Jisoo may act childish and sometimes she is so random that Rosé doesn’t know how to deal with her randomness, but whenever the girls had problems, Jisoo is the one that give them the best advice and she was the most mature one when it comes to problem dealing moment. 

“You can go to college, I will drive you there, just give me 10 minutes to get ready.” Jisoo said with defeated tone.

Rosé smiles and she leans in to give her girlfriend a kiss but Jisoo rejected it “No~ I’m afraid I might lose control.” said Jisoo.

 

Lisa’s Apartment

“Leo! Luca! Lili! Louis! Time to eat!!” Lisa called for her cats. They all come in racing with each other and attacked Lisa’s feet.

“Ouch Leo! No scratching mommy’s foot!” Lisa yelps when Leo accidentally clawed her foot. She puts down the bowls and the cats attacked the bowls.

Lisa left her cats to eat at the kitchen and she went to her room to wake her girlfriend up.

“Nini~” she calls for Jennie as she climbs up her bed, she spoon Jennie from behind and Jennie moans a little upon the skinship “Nini wakes up, breakfast is ready.”

“1 more hour…” Jennie mumbles.

“Yah, usually people asked for 5 more minutes not 1 hour.”

“I’m tired Lili…” she groans and she pulls Lisa even closer to her body “Let me sleep.”

“I’ll let you sleep again after we had breakfast okay? I made us breakfast…” 

Jennie eyes slowly opens when she heard that Lisa said she made breakfast “You made us breakfast? Lalisa Manoban cook for me?”

“Yes Jennie Kim, I cooked for us~”

“I must be dreaming.” said Jennie and Lisa pinched her chubby cheek which causes her to yelp in pain “Ouch! What was that?!”

“You said you were dreaming! So I pinched you to test whether you’re dreaming or not!” Lisa justified her action.

“But you didn’t have to pinch me that hard.” Jennie pouted and Lisa grins at her cuteness.

“Aigoo Nini ah you’re so cute, I wanna eat you up.”

“Please don’t~ let’s go eat breakfast before you eat me up!”

 

Zimzalabim Café

After dropping the kids, except for Ryujin and Lia at JYP high, Wendy drive straight to her café to check on her employees. Lia decided to skip school so she can take care of Ryujin and Wendy can go to work. Although Irene told Lia that she can take care of Ryujin and  Lia can go to school. Wendy however, agreed to Lia’s plan because she really needs to talk to Irene privately, without the kids around and keep on disturbing them. Wendy doesn’t worry about Lia skipping school because Lia is a bright student, so skipping school for a day shouldn’t be a problem for her.

They drop Iris at the daycare before stopping by at Wendy café. Once Wendy had sort things out, she asks Irene to go out for lunch. It was an awkward lunch, neither any one of them are talking to each other. Wendy was too engrossed in her phone while Irene keeps stealing glances over at Wendy.

“So…” Irene decided to break the ice when she got bored over the silent lunch “You said we need to talk… what is it that you wanted to talk about?”

“Oh…” Wendy finally looks at Irene “Why did you abdicated your place as a princess?”

“Have you ever feel like you’re not meant to be at that place? You know deep down I wanted to be someone else but not a princess. The restricted lifestyle isn’t what I wanted.”

“And this life is what you wanted?”

“I’ll be honest with you Wendy. I fell in love with you in my dreams, and we were in a relationship, then you were gone and reappear again, with no memories of me, just like now...but we manage to fall in love again, we got married and had a kid together, and you know what? You name our daughter Iris too...and there is when my dream ended and I woke up from my coma...then I found you. The real you...and I hope this isn’t dream anymore. I’ve lost you twice and I don’t want to lose you again.”

“Wait...what? We were married?”

“Yes…”

“Why didn’t you tell me that?”

“Can you imagine a stranger comes up to you and tell you ‘Hey I dream about we got married and had kids together, and please accept my love.’ That is going to be creepy isn’t it?” said Irene.

“Well, uh yeah...a little,” said Wendy.

The two went silent again, and both are staring at the food on their plate then Wendy lift her head up “Do you still love me even if I’m not the Wendy in your dream?”

“I will always love you Wendy… even if it’s in my dream or in reality.”

“Hmm...you know what? Let’s consider today as our first date. I’ll take a day off from work and we can do whatever you wanted to.” said Wendy.

“Really?”

“Yep, I maybe don’t feel what you are feeling but I know I feel something whenever you are around me, but I can’t say that it is love. It’s very vague...so I want to try it, to fall in love with you.”

Irene is happy when she heard what Wendy said. Wendy holds Irene hand and she kisses it, sending jolts of electricity through Irene’s spine. They two continue to eat their lunch and Irene suggested that the two of them go for movie. Wendy excuses herself and she goes to the toilet to call Henry and asked him to pick Iris up from the daycare and she will go to Henry house to pick her up later.

“Why? We already got a trouble maker here and you want me to take Iris in?”

“The daycare closes at 6 Henry, and I’m afraid that I can’t make it, so please do a favour for me?”

“Well this is the first I heard you can’t make it for Iris.” said Henry over the phone.

“Ugh...I got a date.”

“A date?!! With who?!”

“The princess…”

“You hook up with Irene?!”

“Slow down your voices Henry, people can hear you!”

“Oh wow, who would’ve thought that you will move one and go out on a date with the princess! I thought you were a little scared of her?”

“Oh, that was before I got to know her better, now I know why she did what she did, I can trust her, beside she’s beautiful, dating her wouldn’t be so bad.”

“I’m so proud of you Wendy! You go girl, you don’t have to worry about Iris, I will take good care of her.”

“Thanks dude.”

“You’re welcome.”

Wendy hangs up and calls Lia.

“Hello unnie.”

“Hey Lia, how is Ryujin? Did you two ate your lunch?”

“I just finished washing the dishes, Ryujin is resting now, do you want to talk to her?”

“Ah no, I don’t want to disturb her resting, I’ll be late today, so if you’re hungry, just call for delivery. There’s a debit card that you can use, you can ask Ryujin where she keep it.”

“Oh, okay, but what about Iris?”

“Henry will take care of her, until I finish my business.”

“Ohkay~”

“Make sure Ryujin is resting! Don’t let her play too much solitaire on her phone!” Wendy can hear Lia is chuckling on the phone.

“Yes unnie, I will make sure she is well rested. You don’t have to worry about us.”

“I’m not worried about you Lia, I’m worried about Ryujin, she’s a stubborn person.”

“I know but that is her charm isn’t it?”

“Yeah...well I gotta go. Thanks Lia, I’ll buy you an ice cream tomorrow!”

“Unnie it’s freaking winter now and you’re offering me an ice cream?”

“Okay, then cakes, or crepes.”

Lia laughs and she said “You already give me something worth than that, you gave your blessing for me and Ryujin and that’s enough.”

Wendy was touched by Lia’s words, she sniffles and pretended to wipe her nonexistence tears “You’re a good child Lia. Thank you for loving my stupid Ryujin. I really gotta go. See you later!”

“Bye~”

Wendy hangs up and she checks herself on the mirror and gives herself a light smack on the face and said to herself “Wendy Son Seungwan, please don’t mess this date up!”

Irene was scrolling her phone and posted on her instagram the food that they just had with the caption ‘My first date’ and she giggles to herself. Then she saw the comments that her followers had left in the comment section.

OMG with Seulgi unnie?

Dang Seulgi is so lucky to have such a beautiful angel for a gf

OMG I thought you two broke up a year ago?!

Seulrene!!

I know that you’re already resign as RV’s manager but I still ship you and Seulbear together!

Irene frowns at the comments, she knows Seulgi made it public the day she proposed to her, and she is happy that none of the fans bashed them but they wishes for their happiness. Though there are some delusional fans who curse at her for stealing Seulgi from them. Irene ignores the comment though she is tempted to reply to all of the comments telling them that she and Seulgi had broken up. Wendy taps Irene on the shoulder and she almost karate-chop Wendy.

“Nice reflex.” said Wendy, she tried to keep her cool but for a brief moment she was scared and could see her life passes before her eyes.

“Sorry!” Irene apologizes.

“Well ready to go?” Wendy offers Irene her arm, Irene smiles and she links arms with Wendy and they walk out of the restaurant to go watch the movie that Irene chose. 

The date goes smoothly, Irene was enjoying herself, so did Wendy. Irene couldn’t help but laugh at everything that Wendy does. She especially enjoys it when she watches Wendy got scared when they watch the movie that she chose. She purposely chose a horror movie because she just want Wendy to get scared and leans to her but her plan backfire when she herself got scared at the jump scare scene and she ended up burying her face in Wendy’s shoulder.

Wendy tried to keep a straight face after the jump scare but then when the ghost suddenly appears, she screams and it was so loud that the whole theatre complained. Wendy nudges Irene who had been hiding her face on her shoulder.

“Is it over? Is the ghost gone?” Irene whispers.

“No, the movie is still playing, I don’t like this movie, let’s go.” said Wendy and she grabs Irene’s hand and they left the hall.

“Damn, that movie was scary AF.” said Wendy as she sighs.

“Sorry for choosing that movie.” Irene apologizes.

“No, it’s okay. I enjoy that you’re clinging to me.” said Wendy with a smug face.

Irene nudges Wendy with her elbow and Wendy laughs when she sees the red shade on Irene’s face. “Let’s just go to the arcade~ do you like games?”

“Not much, but I am very competitive.” replied Irene.

“Then good, let’s make a bet, whoever loses, will pay for tomorrow’s date, that’s include all the Itzy’s kids expenses.” Wendy placed a bet.

“It’s a deal.” said Irene confidently.

Wendy is well known for her bad luck and she loses all the rounds against Irene. Irene jumps up and down in happiness while making fun of Wendy’s luck. Wendy gives up in trying to win and she even make a bet whoever loses have to buy the other person and drink and she keeps her promises and buy Irene a drink. They went for a drink then for dinner, they laugh a lot and Wendy learned that Irene actually afraid of water just like her. Wendy suggested that both of them should go and try to challenge themselves to cure their fear of water.

The two end their date when they see that it’s already 9pm and Wendy didn’t want to let Iris wait for them for too long. They drive to Henry’s house, and Henry informed Wendy that Iris had fallen asleep while waiting for her. Wendy thanked Henry for his help and she went inside to get Iris. Wendy slowly lifts Iris up from the couch and once again she thanked Sunny and Henry. Irene offers to drive back so that Wendy can hold on to Iris in the car, because she was afraid that Iris might wake up if they move her too much. Once they reach their apartment, Irene helps Wendy to open the door and Wendy immediately goes to Iris room to tuck the little girl in her bed. After she makes sure that Iris is tucked in, she goes to Irene.

“Did she wakes up?”

“No, she didn’t, thank God.”

“Well… I guess I should go back to my apartment. Thanks for today Wendy. I really enjoy it.”

“Don’t mention it...I’ll see you tomorrow, let’s make it 9, we’ll go have breakfast together before we go.”

“Sure...I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Do you need me to walk you back?” Wendy asked.

Irene laughs at Wendy’s offer and said “Wendy-ah, I live next door to you. I’ll see you tomorrow. Good night.” and she turns toward the door to exit the apartment.

“Wait Irene!” Wendy stops Irene and make her turns around to face her.

“What is…” before she could answer, Wendy’s locks her lips with hers. Irene was surprised by the kiss but she enjoys it. She misses the kiss and she was a little disappointed when Wendy breaks the kiss.

“Good night.” Wendy wishes her and she slowly closes the door, making Irene look like an idiot standing there with a flushed face. Irene walks back to her own apartment, she opens it and enters it. She went straight to her room and throws herself on the bed. She couldn’t hide her smiles, she takes the pillow and cover her face to muffle her excited scream. She feels like a teenager again, it’s been awhile since she felt such bliss. She hopes tomorrow will be more exciting event.

 

To be continued…

A/N: Ooh okay, so the amusement park date is going to be very very messy! Give me some time to write it out~~ A little drama will happened too.
