90th story of Book of Visual Couple. Here extra long chapter for you guys. Sorry for late update. This story supposed to update on Saturday but network problem happen so I can't update the story

With love, Mulgokizary

Two months had passed since Irene and Seulgi engaged. Seulgi is the happiest while Irene is still as usual. She is still treating Seulgi coldly. Only Seulgi who actively initiated their talk. Sometimes, she also rejects when Seulgi asks her out for a date. She never begins their text message or call while Seulgi always informs Irene in whatever she does, whether it is about work or when she hangs out with her friends. Seulgi never complained about how Irene treated her. She believe that one day Irene will open her eyes for her and they will live happily like other couple

Today Seulgi goes to Irene’s office and brings food for their lunch. Irene said she not in mood to go out so Seulgi offer to bought foods for them

“Hyun, I bought foods that you craved for since yesterday” Seulgi cheerfully taking out food packs from paper bag

“Irene” the older woman say firmly

Seulgi immediately looked at her fiancé “Huh?”

“Don’t call me Joohyun. Only my family can call me by that name. Just call me Irene”

“Okay, sorry Irene. Now let’s eat”

Both of them eat in silence. No one said anything. Seulgi not speaking because she know Irene don’t like it when someone talk about unnecessary topic during eating

“Are you done?” Seulgi saw Irene stop eating and wipe her lips with tissue

“Yes”

Few minutes later, Seulgi also finished her food. She cleared the empty pack and also cleaned the table. Irene only watches her without initiative to help. Usually when they eat in the office, Seulgi will serve their food and do the cleaning after eating. Irene not bother doing such things

“Your mom invited me to have dinner at your house tonight. I’ll pick you up this evening. We go home together” said Seulgi

“No need, I go back on my own”

“Does your vocab don’t have ‘YES’ words when it comes to me? You can simply say yes to other people without condition but why not with me?”

Irene gives a sharp glare to Seulgi “I say yes to this engagement is good enough. Isn’t this what you want? Don’t question my behavior to you”

“I’m sorry again” Seulgi scratched her head “I got to go now. See you tonight”

“Hm”

Seulgi leaves the office with paper bags that she brought earlier. Moonbyul quickly go to her boss when she saw Seulgi

“Boss, are you done eating?”

“Yes”

Moonbyul quickly took the paper bag in Seulgi's hand “Are you doing the cleaning again?” Seulgi nods her head “Aigoo, Wendy will complain if she knows this. You should call me to clean for you”

“It’s okay, unnie. I’m fine with that”

Joy and Eunbi feel bad seeing Seulgi doing everything when she’s with Irene. She’s doing her best to show her effort in their relationship but Irene never open her eyes for that

“Ms. Kang, we’re sorry for her behavior” said Eunbi

“Next time you can call me to clean the table after you two eating” add Joy

“It’s okay, Ms. Park and Ms. Kwon. I don’t want Irene to upset at you two. Besides, I’m her fiancé so it’s my duty to serve her” Seulgi smile

“But not to that extent, boss” Moonbyul rolled her eyes

“I’m fine, don’t worry. Let’s go. We have a lot of works to do” both of them excuse themselves and leave

Since she got engaged to Irene, Seulgi changed her lifestyle. She stop going to club and drink. She also rarely hangouts during office hour. Seulgi is doing her best to show Irene that she deserve to stand by her side. She don’t want Irene to embarrass engage to someone who have wild life

………..

Tonight Seulgi has dinner with Irene’s family. Irene’s parents treat Seulgi properly while her siblings, Jaehyun, Yerim and Karina are given cold shoulders. Their parents told them not to do so but they are not listening. During dinner, only Mr. Bae and his wife talk with Seulgi while the others eat silently. After finishing eating, Irene helped her mother to clean the dishes. Seulgi offer to help but Mrs. Bae not allow her so she decide to join the siblings lounge by the swimming pool

However, she heard that the three siblings talk about something serious and the topic is her and Irene

“I feel sorry for Joohyun unnie. She forcefully engaged to someone she don’t love”

“You’re right. Noona is not given a chance to make a choice. That woman is so cruel and selfish. She not even thinking about Joohyun noona feeling”

“I hope they break up faster. Unnie is better with Suho oppa. Suho oppa is well manner, unlike her”

“I also often see Irene unnie cry at night. Even though I never ask but I know the reason is that woman”

“Noona deserve someone who can make her smile, not crying”

Seulgi shut her eyes tightly and balled her fist. She turns around and goes back to the living room. No way will she join the sibling who obviously resent her

“Seul, you not join them?” asked Mr. Bae who sit at living room, watching TV

“No dad, I want to sit here. Besides, I need to go home. It’s getting late already”

“Oh really” Mr. Bae checking his watch “Wait until Joohyun and her mom done washing before you go back”

“Okay dad”

Few minutes later, Irene and her mother come from the kitchen. They sit on the couch. Since Seulgi mood already broken, she tell them that she want to go back

“You want to go home already?” asked Mrs. Bae

“Yes mom”

“Tomorrow is Saturday. Joohyun will not go with you?” Irene want to protest like usual but Seulgi quickly answering

“No mom, I have a golf appointment tomorrow so I don’t want to leave her alone at home. Appa and Eomma Hyo visit Grandma Kim so no one at home with her”

“Okay then. Be careful when you go home. Don’t speed up”

“Okay mom”

“Hyun, walk your fiancé to the door” said Mr. Bae and Irene obey to her father

Irene follows Seulgi to the front door. They are not talking to each other “It’s rare that you not forcing me to sleep in your house on weekend”

Seulgi smile shortly “I have appointment early in the morning so I don’t want you to stay alone”

“Usually you insist to bring me along and brag to everyone that I’m your fiancé”

“Maybe not anymore. I have to go now. Bye” Seulgi waving her hand before put on her helmet

Irene not giving a response. She only watches Seulgi start her big bike and slowly leave their house. Just before she enter, she heard sound of thunder

“Seem like rain will pour soon” she sighs and enter the house

…………..

Instead of going back to her house, Seulgi rode her big bike to Moonbyul’s house. She needs comfort and advice so Moonbyul is the right choice. Wendy when it comes to love because she never dated. The least she can do is listening and give support or maybe give warm hug

Moonbyul was shocked to see Seulgi show up in front of her house at that time. Usually Seulgi will contact her if she want to come to her house

“Seulgi? ...” Moonbyul doesn't get to finish her words because Seulgi hugs her “Hey, what happened?” she asked softly while patting Seulgi’s back

“Unnie…I need hug” Seulgi mumble

Moonbyul’s wife, Kim Yongsun or Solar, comes to the door because Moonbyul has not yet come back. She confused seeing Moonbyul and Seulgi hugging each other

“Yeobo, what happened here? Why did you two hug? Seulgi, what with that sad face?” Solar being curious as usual throwing many questions to the duo

“Yeobo, let’s bring her in first. I also don’t have idea what happen to her” said Moonbyul to her wife “Come in, Seul”

Solar makes hot chocolate to accompany them while they listen to Seulgi’s complaints. She assumes Seulgi must be having a big problem that makes the younger girl who comes to them look so sad. Usually Seulgi is cheerful when they meet

“Now tell us what happen to you” said Moonbyul

“It’s about me and Irene”

“Okay…so?”

“Am I making the right decision, unnie?” Seulgi looked at Moonbyul with hesitation in her eyes “I overheard her sibling’s conversation earlier. They said I bring nothing but sadness to Irene. They also said Irene is better with Suho. What should I do now, unnie?”

“This is difficult for me to answer. If Irene still is not showing any progress, you two will not go anywhere. It's just like you two on the same boat but only you rowing while she just stays still. The boat will not moving itself”

“Do you ever try to talk about this issue with her?” Solar asking

“Yes unnie, I tried to talk about this multiple times but she acted nonchalant. She not listening sometimes”

“Aigoo, that's so bad. I have never encountered this case before. This obviously one-sided love”

“Seul, what are you going to do after this?” Moonbyul felt sorry for her boss. Seulgi deeply in love with Irene but the older girl never see that

Seulgi pulls her hair in frustration “I don’t know. Maybe I’ll call off our engagement”

“What?! Seriously? Don’t make decisions in a chaotic mind. You’ll regret it. You two just engaged for two months. It still too early to make conclusion” said Moonbyul

“I don’t know unnie. I’m hopeless”

Solar caressing Seulgi’s shoulder “Whatever happens, please don’t make a decision that you’ll regret. You have rights to determine which path you want to walk but that doesn’t mean you can make quick decisions. Think carefully and follow your heart. If your heart says hold on, please stay until the point you have nowhere to hold but if your heart says leave, collect the broken pieces and leave. Only you who can protect your heart from breaking badly. Don’t feel hopeless or alone. Moonbyul, Wendy, me and your family are behind you. I know it is not easy to decide but I know you can do the best for yourself. You’re strong girl”

Seulgi held her tears when she heard what Solar said. She is so thankful that she met kind-hearted people where she can rely on during her hardest time

“Thank you, unnie. I’ll remember your advice”

“You’re welcome. You don’t have to go home tonight. It rains heavily outside. Just sleep here since tomorrow you not working”

“Okay unnie”

“Byul, bring her to guest room and give her clothes to change”

“Okay yeobo, let’s go Seul” Moonbyul and Seulgi go to guest room while Solar wash their mugs

……………..

Today Irene and her staff go to Black Pearl Holdings for another discussion regarding their project progress. However, Irene noticed that Seulgi is not excited like usual when meeting her. Seulgi only gives a short smile to her. During the meeting, Seulgi was not looking at her like usual. Usually Seulgi steal a glance at her or smiling like stupid but this time she not turn her face to see Irene

“Unnie, is it only me or Ms. Kang is not looking at you during the meeting earlier?” asked Joy when they are on their way back from Black Pearl building

“I see that too, unnie. She immediately left after our meeting ended. Usually she will approach you. Is something wrong, unnie?” Eunbi looked over her shoulder. Irene stare blankly out of the window

“She has not contacted me for three days now. Last time she texted me was at night when she came to have dinner with my family. I don’t know what’s wrong with her” said Irene

“Did you not contact her first?” Irene shake her head as response

“You should at least contact her. It is not wrong if you begin the conversation first. Who know if she have problem”

“Eunbi unnie is right. You two were engaged for two months but I only see Seulgi unnie who keep moving but you are still staying on the same spot. Appreciate her while she’s still with you, unnie. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Regret is hurt, trust me”

“We give advice because we want the best for you. We don’t mean to interfere” all of them stay silent for the rest of the ride

………..

After a week of not contacting each other, finally Seulgi and Irene meet. They meet at the park in the evening. Same as their last encounter, Seulgi is not excited as usual. She behaves like this is the first time they meet. Seulgi behave different and Irene noticed it

“Why do you look so serious? Is something wrong with you? You also have not contacted me for a few days. Have you given up already?” Irene bombard Seulgi with questions while the younger girl spacing out

“Maybe…” Seulgi paused, “Maybe I give up fighting. It’s maybe too late but I realize there’s no way for us to be together. I’m sorry for everything”

Irene furrowed her eyebrows. She doesn't understand why Seulgi suddenly changes her mind “Why? What changed your mind? Do you hit your head somewhere?”

Seulgi chuckled upon hearing Irene’s question “On the first day we were engaged, I used to tell you that I’ll do anything to make you happy. Your happiness matters to me. Lately I realized that your happiness is not with me…with Suho, maybe. If I can’t make you happy as my fiancé, at least I can see you happy with someone you really love. I don’t want to see your cry. It hurts me when I know the reason you are crying is because of me. From now on, I will let you go to find your happiness. Whoever will you choose, I hope that person will make you smile every day”

“Are you sure you’ll not regret taking this decision?” Irene looks at Seulgi whose face turns red. She know Seulgi is holding her emotion

“Regret never comes first but instead of regret seeing you sad and crying because of me, I am willing to regret letting you go for someone who can make you happy” Seulgi bravely took Irene hand and held it for the first time “Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine on my own. I used to lose someone I love. It hurts a lot so I don’t want you to feel it. Few days ago I met with Suho to apologize for what I had done. Same as you, he was also shocked when I said I’ll let you go. After this, both of you can restart again and I hope he will be the right person for you. Suho is a nice guy. I believe he can be the best partner for you”

Irene doesn't know what she feels right now but there’s something heavy that she felt in her heart when she saw Seulgi’s eyes feel with tears that threatened to fall down. Seulgi is trying to be strong in front of her while her eyes can’t lie. Her monolid eyes showing how broken she is right now

“What about our parents? How will I tell them that you call off our engagement?”

“I already told them yesterday. My parents only follow my decision. They let me do what I think is right. Your dad and mom are very disappointed and sad. They entrust you to me but I can’t do my duty properly. I understand if they resent me. I deserve the resentment”

“Seulgi…” Irene speechless

“I’m sorry for whatever I had done since the first day we met. I’m very sorry” Seulgi wipe her tears

“It’s okay” Irene suddenly feel guilty

“Now let me drive you back to your house”

“But I brought my car earlier”

“We’ll ride your car. My assistants will bring my car and follow us. Let me do my duty as your fiancé for very last time” Seulgi pleading

“Okay”

Both of them ride Irene’s car as they go back to Bae’s house. There is no conversation happening during the ride. The two of them only with their own thoughts. 20 minutes later, they arrived at the destination. Seulgi quickly go out to open the door for Irene

“This is the last time I will come here as your fiancé. As soon as I step out of the gate, we’re not each other's fiancé. Once again, I apologize for my annoying and persuasive behavior. Please forgive me”

Irene nods her head “I also apology for my cold treatment to you”

“It’s okay, I understand that” Seulgi reached for Irene's hand then she kissed her backhand softly. Few drops of tears fall down as Seulgi kisses Irene’s hand. After that, she hugged Irene tightly “I’ll miss you. For very last time I want you to know that I love you so much”

Irene does not say anything but she returns the hug. This is the first time they have skin contact. Seulgi never held her hand or kissed her before. Deep inside her heart, she feels comfortable in Seulgi’s embrace. She feel safe and warm when Seulgi hugging her

“I have to go now. Take care and be healthy” Seulgi said after pull back from hug

“Same goes to you”

Seulgi slowly leaves Irene and walks away. Irene watches her now ex-fiancé walk slowly, approaching her assistants who are waiting for her with open arms. As Seulgi gets near, Moonbyul and Wendy run to hug her. Irene clearly saw Seulgi's shoulder shaking when her assistants embraced her. After few minutes comforting Seulgi, they leave the house while Irene also enter

Inside the house, Irene’s family watched the farewell through the CCTV footage that was installed at the car porch and connected to Mr. Bae’s phone. Even though they don’t hear the conversation but they can feel the sadness through Seulgi’s action and expression

“It’s hard for me to let Seulgi’s go but this is her decision. She is very nice to us, especially Minjeong. That kid will surely miss Seulgi knowing how close both of them are since Seulgi often comes to our house. Seulgi also love Minjeong like her own sibling” Mrs. Bae said sadly

“I'm sad as well. I have my faith in her because I know she is trustworthy like her father. Maybe they are not meant for each other. I hope she will meet someone who can love her sincerely. Seulgi deserve the best” add Mr. Bae

Meanwhile Yeri, Jaehyun and Karina are looking at each other when they heard what their parents said then they quickly turn away

…………….

One week had passed since Seulgi call-off her engagement with Irene. She is not fine. Every day she misses the woman that she loves, her first love. Sometimes she feels like wanting to text Irene just to ask how her day is or wants to call her at night before sleep like she usually did. When she remembers that they are not engaged anymore, her tears fall down. Her heart broke badly. They haven’t met again after the break-up. According to Wendy, Irene went to Jeju to check their project progress. Seulgi hope Irene live her life well

“Seul, are you okay?” Wendy carefully put a cup of coffee that she make for Seulgi on the table

“I don’t know, Wannie”

“Need a hug?”

Seulgi looking at Wendy with teary eyes “Yes”

Wendy approaching Seulgi then hugging her boss “If you want to cry, just let it out so that it can lift up burden in your mind”

“It’s hurt…it hurt so much…I don’t know how I can fall in love with someone who doesn’t love me back…fate really messing with my feeling” Seulgi sobbing on Wendy’s shoulder

“You're a strong girl. You can go through this. Everything will be fine” Wendy caressing Seulgi’s back

“Thank you for always listening to my complaint. I feel bad for troubling you and Byul unnie” said Seulgi after pull away from hug

“We’re friends so that's what friends should do. I always tell you if you want to share a problem with someone, just let me know anytime. I’ll lend my ears”

Seulgi stares at Wendy with a happy smile “You two are great friends of mine. I don’t know how I should pay for your kindness”

“You don’t need to give anything. Gifts that you gave us all these while are more than enough. We’re very thankful”

“Okay” Seulgi nods her head “I am not in the mood to work. Let’s go out and play”

“Since we’ll go out, why don’t we visit Solar unnie? Byul unnie called me earlier, she said doctor told them Solar unnie is pregnant”

“Wow, unnie must be happy that they will have their first child. We shopping for gift before go to their house”

“Sure thing” Wendy excited

“Let’s go” Both of them are leaving the office. They ride elevator to the ground floor

………….

“Wendy” Seulgi speak while focus on driving

“Hm?”

“Sometimes I wonder why I don't fall in love with you. You're a nice woman, kind and warm-hearted. You also have girlfriend material” Seulgi stated

“Are you flirting right now?”

“I'm just stating the truth. It is from what I see since we start working together”

Wendy sighs “I only do what my heart says. I can’t see my friend sad. It’ll hurt me too. Same as when I see you sad and cry because of Ms. Bae. I’m hurting even if it's not as bad as you. You're a good person. I don’t know why Ms. Bae can’t lower her ego and try to love you back”

“Maybe I’m not her type. She want a good man, not a bad girl” both of them laughing

“Bad girl also not that bad” Wendy commented

Seulgi turns her face to Wendy and grinning “Really?”

“Yeah, I personally think not all bad girls and bad boys are bad inside out. Their manner may be bad but I believe deep inside they are as nice as other people. There must be a reason why they behave like that. Everything happen with a reason” Wendy reasoning

“You’re right and you also know what make me become a bad girl”

“That’s my point. That’s why I remind myself not to judge people quickly. Now that you have me and Byul unnie to share problems, please don’t drink and go to clubs often. It’s bad for your health. You can drink alcohol but not as frequently as before. If you think the world is against you, remember that you have me behind you. You just need to step back. I’ll hold your hand”

Seulgi was touched by Wendy’s warm words. She feels like she is the luckiest person to have Wendy as her friend. “You know what…I hope one day I can fall in love with you so that I become the luckiest person on earth. People will envy me for having an Angel alive. I’ll shower you with love and affection that you deserve”

Wendy cackles “Don’t fall in love with me. We are meant to be best friends, not lovers. One day you’ll find the right partner”

“I hope that will be you” said Seulgi as she pulled off at the parking lot “We arrived! Let’s go out and shop. We must buy a lot of gifts for Solar unnie. If possible we buy the whole mall”

“Byul unnie will get heart-attack if you buy the whole mall for her wife” both of them enter the mall and shop for gifts that they will bring to Moonbyul’s house later. Wendy can see how excited Seulgi is when it comes to kids. Seulgi love kid so much

………….

Joy and Eunbi are enjoying free time in the office today because they don’t have any appointments or meetings. Irene is not coming to the office. She told Joy that she not feeling well

“Sooyoung”

“Yep”

“Do you notice that Irene unnie behavior is different lately? To be exact, after Seulgi unnie call off their engagement” said Eunbi

Joy taps her chin then she nods “I noticed it but I am not giving any comment. I worry if I say something wrong and offend her”

“I have a feeling that their separation will impact her. Unnie is not cheerful like usual. She also pay more attention to her work and sometimes skip lunch”

“Hm, could it be that she slowly opened her heart for Seulgi unnie but suddenly Seul unnie declared separation?”

“That could be right. Maybe she regret treating Seulgi unnie badly before”

“If she has feelings for Seul unnie, why did she not stop Seul unnie when she wanted to separate?”

Eunbi chuckle “You know Irene unnie ego is so high”

“That make sense too” Joy groan “They could make a great couple if Irene unnie lower her ego”

“She always said she doesn't want to get involved with someone who has bad manners, is a clubber and an alcoholic. I bet Seul unnie will not protest if she talks properly to ask her to stop doing such things. Seulgi unnie is nice and kind. We just met for few months but she treat us like we knew each other for a long time”

“True, Irene unnie is so lucky that she is loved by Seulgi unnie. I can imagine Seulgi unnie willing to buy a country if Irene unnie asks for it. Her body language can tell how much she loves Irene unnie. Sadly Irene unnie never take it seriously when we said that”

“Since we’re free today, let’s visit her at her house. She must need someone to talk with. You know she’s hardly sharing problems with her family. I guess the reason her not feeling well because she lack of rest and thinking too much” Eunbi said

“Good idea. We buy food before go to their house”

“Alright, let’s go” both girls grab their bags and leave their table

……………

Moonbyul and Wendy have been panicking since morning because Seulgi is nowhere to be found. Maid at Kang’s house tells them Seulgi has not been home since yesterday. They thought she would go out with her friends as always but security said Seulgi would not come back at the time she usually arrives if she goes clubbing. Moonbyul and Wendy go to a club where Seulgi often goes but everyone said that it has been a while since Seulgi came to the club. Her friends also said the same thing. They tried calling her phone but it was not active. Both of them are hopeless. They worry if something bad happen to their boss

“Unnie, what to do now?” Wendy lean against the car seat after she talk with Yoona on the phone

“I don’t know. We must continue looking for her. Let’s hope Yoona unnie found a clue or something that could help us” Moonbyul hopes that they can find their boss before night comes. She’s really worry right now because she know Seulgi not in good emotional state since past few weeks

“Seulgi is in a chaotic mood right now. Even though she never tells us, I can notice it. She is obvious. Since she break-up with Ms. Bae, she is not as bright as before. She does not bring us out randomly. Seulgi only focuses on work. Sometimes she is not in the mood to eat. You know you often force her to eat something. Seulgi totally not fine right now” Wendy said in sad voice

Moonbyul massaging her nose bridge “I noticed her changes too. She is not Seulgi that we used to know. She acted strong but deep inside, she broke badly. I don’t know what we could do to cheer her up”

“The only one who can bring old Seulgi back is Ms. Bae but it is impossible to ask for help from her. I know she won’t agree”

“Ms. Bae is playing hard to get. I hope one day she’s the one who chasing Seulgi” Wendy’s phone ringing distracting their conversation

“Yoona unnie calling” Wendy quickly answer her phone “Yes unnie…okay, we’ll check her there...I’ll call her again later…bye unnie”

“How is it?” Moonbyul impatient

“She asked us to go to their mom’s apartment at SM Complex. Seulgi always go there if she want to be alone” Wendy searching for the apartment location in her phone

“Wow, that is a luxury apartment complex. Only rich and famous people afford to purchase apartment unit in that place” Moonbyul amazed “Wen, why don’t we meet with Ms. Bae and ask for help to comfort Seulgi”

“Do you think she’ll agree?”

Moonbyul shrugs “I don’t know but not bad if we try”

“Alright, let’s go to Bae house. After that, we go to apartment”

…………….

Now the assistant duo gather with the Bae family in their living room. Irene and her family wonder why Wendy and Moonbyul suddenly come to their house

“May we know why both of you are coming?” Irene asking Seulgi’s assistant

“We need your help, Ms. Bae” said Wendy

“Help with what?”

Moonbyul and Wendy looking at each other, Moonbyul speak “Help us to comfort Seulgi”

“What’s wrong with her?”

“Seulgi is emotionally unstable lately or to be exact after she call-off engagement. She heavily affected by the separation”

“Seem like she not willing to let go of Joohyun but why she call-off their engagement?” asked Mrs. Bae

Wendy slowly shakes her head “We do know about the reason but we’re not the right person to say that. We don’t want to create another issue. As for now, we only want to focus on her emotion state”

“We hope you can help us to talk to her. Both of us and her family tried so many times to make her talk about her problem but she refused. She said she is fine but we know, she literally not fine” add Moonbyul

“Okay, I’ll talk to her” Irene stated make relieve smile formed on Moonbyul and Wendy’s face

“Thank you, Ms. Bae”

Suddenly Yeri's voice made everyone look at her “Unnie, are you serious that you want to be involved with that woman again?” she asked with cold voice

“Why not?”

“I told you, unnie. Don’t attach to her anymore. She is not a good person. When you two are engaged, she secretly goes out with another woman. She cheated on you. She met another woman that made her cancel the engagement. Why do you still go easy on her?”

“Yerim…” Irene was puzzled. She want to protest but Wendy cut her off

“Excuse me, Yeri-ssi. Do you have any evidence to prove that Seulgi is cheating when she engaged with your sister?” Wendy asked in a firm voice. She not accept her boss accused on doing something she never did

“Yes, I have. I took picture of them” Yeri took her phone then show the picture to Wendy

Moonbyul hissed when she saw that photo while Wendy only shook her head “Why? Still want to deny your boss is a player?” Yeri smirk

“Yeri-ssi, the girl in that photo is Kang Soojung or now she is known as Krystal Jung. She is Seulgi’s twin sister” Wendy stated while making eye contact with Yerim

“If they are sisters, why do they meet like they don’t want anyone to know? Kang Seulgi was wearing a cap, face mask and hoodie while this woman was also covering herself when she arrived at the restaurant. They sit at the corner table. Both of them also not look alike”

“They are meeting secretly because their mother does not allow Soojung to meet with Seulgi, Yoona unnie and their father. They are non-identical twins. Seulgi look like Mr. Kang while Soojung resemble their mom” Wendy looking at Moonbyul before she continue

“Just tell the truth. I’ll take the fall if anything happen” Moonbyul say confidently

Wendy nods her head then proceed with the explanation “After Mr. Kang and his wife, who is Seulgi’s biological mother divorce, Soojung and their younger sister, Kang Giselle, are taken to Los Angeles by their mother while Seulgi and Yoona unnie stayed with their father. Mrs. Kang does not allow Krystal and Giselle to meet with their sister and father. Seulgi's behavior changed since the break up of her family. She is not the old Seulgi. Seulgi becomes a troublemaker, goes to clubs, parties and starts to consume alcohol. When her father asked what made her change drastically, she said she wanted to get her mom’s attention. She knows her mother will be upset if she misbehaves. Seulgi hopes that her mother will come to meet her if she hears that Seulgi creates trouble. Since they were young, Seulgi is the closest with her mother. The separation brought a big impact to her. Seulgi closes herself from anyone including her family. She never shares problems with them. She does anything possible so that she can meet her mother but never succeeds. Until now, Seulgi never stop trying to get her mom attention even though it’ll not work”

“How will she get her mom’s attention if Mrs. Kang is not here?” Mrs. Bae curious

“Her mother have informant, maybe” Moonbyul shrugs

“That is also the reason why Seulgi and Krystal meet secretly. It is their first meeting after six years. Seulgi misses her twin so much. She is very happy when finally she receives a text from Krystal inviting her to meet up. Even just once, it is enough to make Seulgi happy. She talks about Krystal almost every day after their meeting. She happily tells Krystal that she engaged to Ms. Bae and she hopes one day she can bring you two to meet. Seem like it not going to happen”

“I’m sorry to hear about her situation. We never expected she went through a hard time because she was always cheerful when we met. Seulgi is really strong” Mr. Bae feel sympathy at Seulgi

“One thing that makes me curious is why Seulgi has more free time during office hours? Is she leaving her work to other staff? She also easily buy this and that even though the price is unreasonable” Irene asking questions that make her curious since first time Seulgi courting her

Before answering, Moonbyul scroll through her phone gallery then she show the photo to Bae’s family

“These big brands…Seulgi has been investing in these companies since she’s 20 years old. Even if she sleeps the entire day, she still has income. Seulgi’s motto is ‘Work smart, play hard’ so when we have work to do, we’ll do it diligently. Once our work finishes, we go out to play. At first, it feels weird when going out during office hours since both of us have never done such things before. After hearing about Seulgi’s life from Aunty Hyo, we realized that we must be there to make her happy so that she would forget her sadness. Maybe we can’t cover the empty spot that should be filled by her mother but at least, we are there with her through thick and thin” Moonbyul paused for a few seconds “Seulgi is nice, kind and generous. I am not bragging but my life has changed drastically, especially in finance, since I work as her assistant. Recently, she made an investment in her mom’s business but using mine and Wendy’s name. We divide the profit. She only took one per four of the profit and the rest will be ours”

“After you all heard about Seulgi, I hope you don’t think negatively. Seulgi is human too and she made mistakes. I apology on her behalf for whatever she did that hurt you guys whether she realize it or not” Wendy bow her head

“We also apology for what Yerim had said earlier” said Mrs. Bae
