'I could have been dead by now.'

 

 

Wendy looked behind Jennie and saw Irene standing there. 

 

Where is Seulgi? 

 

Why did she let Irene go here all alone?

 

Those are the questions playing inside Wendy's head. She doesn't have to ask why Irene is here. For sure her big mouth of a girlfriend told her.

 

"I...Irene?" 

 

Irene sigh before she smiles at Wendy. "I'll take it from here." She told her best friend.

 

"Alright, I'll be in that corner if you need me." Wendy stood up from her seat.

 

"Okay, Thanks Seungwan." Irene smile.

 

Irene takes the sits that Wendy abandoned. She looks at the woman in front of her. Her head was lower down.

 

"Jennie..." Irene calls Jennie's name. 

 

"Why Joohyun?" Jennie started. Her voice cracked.

 

"I don't know how to answer that." Irene sigh. "But, I want you to know that I did wait for you. Ten years... Fifteen? Sixteen... I totally have forgotten for how long. I waited for you even though you already stop ensuring me that you are coming back." Irene stop for a while then takes a deep breath. "But sometimes you have to stop doing something when you are already hurting. When you are no longer sure that, that person you are waiting for is still coming back."

 

"You stopped because of that woman, Irene! She came between us and ruin everything."

 

"Don't blame her, Jennie." Irene won't let Jennie blame Seulgi." Waiting for you brought me and lock me in an empty room. It was lonely, it was painful. You didn't give any assurance that you are coming back. A word from a seven years old girl and a one-month communication is not enough, Jennie. Don't blame anyone for your own mistake. You promised you will come back, and you did. I promise I will wait and here I am. But I didn't tell you that when you return I'm still the same lonely Joohyun." Irene smile. "Seulgi, save me from the loneline

Chapter 43: Yeri's plan would alienate her not only from Tiffany but also Taeyeon once they catches wind of what she has been doing behind their backs all along. Not only is she sabotaging and draining their company from within, but she is also knowingly plotting and putting at harm's way their real child. While I do get Yeri's pain and applaud Taeyeon's concern of her, Tiffany's right that it is about time that they make an effort to finally inform and formally include Irene to their family. Irene was deprived of a family who would care for her while Taeny lost significant milestones in their child's life. All three of them never had the chance to experience being a whole family and everything it entails. Taeyeon's care for Yeri was nice and all, but at the same time it is stupid to keep on putting off telling Irene the truth. It's like she is choosing one child over the other even if it is not the case. Tiffany obviously didn't mean neglecting Yeri once Irene's there with them. She only meant that she wants to finally be a family to Irene and be there for her like they should have been doing all those years. Never did she say that she is putting more importance on her over Yeri. Tiffany's in the right here because they owe alot to Irene and she could've been with them all along if only they actually made an effort to find her in the first place. Taeyeon wants to be considerate to Yeri, but what about to Irene who is actually their long lost daughter? She is the one who suffered the most over the years spent without them and only having her grandma for a meager amount of years as her source of comfort. The rest of her life was a struggle dotted with a few bright moments with her grandmother, Jennie, and Wendy.

Here's to hoping that Irene's still several steps ahead of Yeri and Seulgi's actually just on stand-by in case something happens. Like, she actually got someone to keep an eye on Irene whenever she is not there to accompany her. Protection detail or even WenJoy would be great.
