C15: Did I confess?
In My Dream'Do you wanna know Kangseul more?'
Irene was taken aback by Wendy's question. Slowly she put the plates and cups down the sink and look behind her. She saw Wendy smiling, her eyes were teasing her.
"W...what are you talking about, Seungwan?!" Irene's face was red. "Why would I want to know her more?''
