It was another busy school day. Two popular, beautiful girls were walking together in the lobby. In comfortable silence, holding hands and lost in their own thoughts. 

 

Irene, always been the most beautiful human to exist in Wendy's eyes. The way Irene will give eye-smiles at the most simple things. She will be content with what she has and will work harder for her dreams to come true. Irene was everything Wendy ever dreamed, desired, wanted and hoped for. There is no reason for not to fall for Irene. Anyone with or without eyes can see how much Wendy has fallen for her. The only problem is that Irene is too oblivious to see honey dripping eyes. No one can blame her, she was sure she made a record by rejecting 30 guys and 20 girls in one day, but who's counting not Wendy though or maybe she is and this is what stopping her from courting Irene, the fear of getting rejected and chance of being with her even as her best friend. The title 'best friend' itself feels like a dream and changing it to 'girlfriend' is next to a miracle. Wendy is happy with having Irene by her side all time even just as her best friend. Being able to get nagged,hugged and occasional kisses on cheeks, etc makes Wendy the luckiest girl on earth. Wendy wants more but for now she will be happy with what she has. One day she might con-

 

"Wendy-ahhWendy-ahhh!!" Wendy snapped out at Irene's scream and frantic shaking. 

 

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" 

 

"Shouldn't it be the other way around?"

 

"I'm sorry"

 

"Are you okay?"

 

I wish "Yeah yeah"

 

"You don't need to lie to me"

 

"Huh?"

 

"Wendy"

 

"Umm ahh-ehh"

 

"....."

 

"Unnie I-"

 

"Wendyyy unnnnieee"

 

Out of nowhere Joy jumped on Wendy's back startling the older girls 

 

"Aaahh Joy.. " Wendy grunted at the sudden impact on her not so old back 

 

"Joyssi, stop jumping on Wendy. How many times do I have to tell you this?"

 

"Irene Unnie, how many times do I have to tell you not to be jealous?"

 

"Joy, stop"

 

"Irene unnie, we know Wendy is all yours, isn't it Wendy unnie?"

 

Both girls were flushing at Joy's question 

 

"O-off course, I'm her best friend" Wendy was a stuttering mess whenever Joy abruptly asked the unwanted questions. While looking ahead, beside her, she missed the slight sullen look on Irene's face which vanished like it never happened. 

 

"Well, Unnie, I heard from Seulgi unnie that you are going for a field trip with Sua unnie and her group, Is that true?" Joy asked while trying to control her growing smirk as her eyes were on a very fuming bunny 

 

"Oh, yeah, it slipped my mind. Yep we are going together" Poor Wendy's smile vanishes as she feels a dark aura surrounding her, she hesitantly turns to her side, witnessing a literal living volcano. 

 

There's no lie that everyone in school knew how much of a charming princess Wendy is and how much of a flirty butterfly Sua is and that's very unsettling for Irene because she doesn't want her Hamster to be traumatised by the direct,overwhelming ,forward actions and words of Sua. Sua, her very major source of headache these days. Irene is not complaining but why in the hell Wendy has one different class! And that class is the last class, which means they can hangout after school as much as they want… why? Cuz Irene will be busy with the council work. Being a Student council is prestigious but at the cost of your bff bonding time. Irene still can't put a finger on why she feels this certain way towards Wendy. Why of all people? And to all her amusement she has the answers too. Because no one in this entire world can understand her,not even herself, like Wendy does. Wendy can tell what she is feeling without even expressing. She is hungry and she gets the food. Wendy even knows what she is craving. She is feeling cold and another second is in a warm hug of Wendy. No jacket, no problem, because Wendy always carries a spare one for her. No umbrella, Wendy got a big one, they love to walk under one umbrella, sticking close, side by side. Wendy knows Irene on the back of her hand. Wendy gives everything that Irene wants. And she is everything that Irene needs. She is scared to lose Wendy. She can't imagine a single minute without having Wendy in her thoughts. Irene will not say she is in love but she sure is falling, only if she realises it, and it's dangerous. Wendy is a very very dangerous drug. And she only wants to get intoxicated,no one else. She is super jealous, possessive and territorial. Not to mention Wendy is nothing less but super protective, supportive and understanding. They both complement each other so well, very compatible. It's safe to say they are more than friends, without realising and without labels. Loving someone is very much new for both, loving the same gender is frenetic and loving your best friend is another story. They both are playing around each other, moving in circles, crossing small barriers and without acknowledging the depth of their feelings, they are slowly falling. 

 

But for now Irene can't stand this situation. She doesn't tolerate Sua's advances for 15 minutes, she can't even imagine what might happen on the field trip with Wendy being naive and kind. 

 

"ah Ire-" Wendy was cut off by Irene's glare

 

"How come I wasn't informed about this before, Wendy?" Irene's eyes were enough to deliver the anger but the way she spelled her name made it clear that Wendy is in big trouble. 

 

"A-as I sa-aid I-It slipped my mi-ind" Wendy was sweating. Yes, it's very ironic how Wendy loves and hates Irene's eyes. One moment she is swimming in the brown pools and another moment getting lava drowning her. 

 

"Well, Seulgi knows that?" Irene raised her eyebrows 

 

"Because we are in the same class" She answered right away. 

 

"Is she going?"

 

"Umm m-maybe not" 

 

"What?"

 

"What?" 

 

"Why?"

 

"Irene, what; why?"

 

"Why are you going then?"

 

"Because I want too" 

 

Wendy immediately looked away. The way Irene was glaring at her, was enough to run for her dear life only if it wasn't for Joy holding her in place 

 

"You will not go." Irene made the statement. 

 

"But why?" Wendy pouted. She really wanted to go on this trip. 

 

"You are not going. End of it." Irene has this challenging look that made Wendy purr in sadness 

 

"You didn't tell Irene unnie, cuz you knew she won't allow you" Joy smirked as she saw Irens lips twitching and Wendy's wide eyes 

 

"Is it true, Wendy?" Irene asked with a blank face, which is more dangerous, because you can't interpret what she is actually feeling and that scares the living daylights of Wendy. 

 

"Whha.. What? Nooo-no-no" Wendy frantically moved her hands and shook her head to deny the accusation that might cost her life. 

 

"Don't lie to me" Irene still said with a blank face. 

 

"I swear,unnie, I just forgot to mention. It was a sudden plan by our professor. He was talking about natural living and bonding. happened and he volunteered me to go there and evaluate everything so that we can apply for the whole school to participate. As your council is busy with prom, others with nationals final… they only had us, we the arts council.. So we had to do it and as the president, I was the only one and Seulgi is going for finals so instead of her Sua will manage. I swear I was going to mention it today but you forgot your notepad and I had to run back to the dorm but I promise I was going to tell you before my parents and they really don't know what I'm up to. Unnie, please don't be mad. I will be careful next time. Give me another chance. Please forgive me" Wendy joined her hands and closed her eyes while praying to Lord to not make Irene unnie mad at her after her long rant and acrobatic hand gestures. Wendy doesn't want Irene to ignore her. Because in the beginning Irene will yell at her and after that full ignore mode which always made Wendy feel like a kicked puppy.. 

 

Irene smiled at her cute and tiny hamster (she scoffed at her own self calling her tiny) Well she wasn't expecting Wendy to blow up like that but it was amazing to know she had such a strong impact on her. 

 

"Whipped" Joy mumbles. Ignoring her, Irene smiled at Wendy's cute figure. 

 

"Wendy-ah, unnie is not mad. Look at me." Irene tried to make Wendy look at her and Wendy did, and she suddenly ducked her head down again with a pout  "Omo why are you such a cutie?" Irene blurted out, being smitten by Wendy's cuteness which led her to Red face. Wendy blushed so much that her ears turned red. 

 

"Extra whipped Gaybies" Joy scoffs at the Sappy live K-drama "Are you both going to kiss or something?" That made Wendy to hide her red face behind her palms whereas Irene's flustered self punched Joy in the stomach 

 

"Geez grandma, try to take jokes. Damn you hit like a boxer" Joy rubbed her aching stomach 

 

"Call me grandma again and you can say goodbye to your pretty face" Irene glares with her fist raised 

 

"Just so you know you called my face pretty"  Joy smirks as Irene only scoffed "and BTW Wendy unnie is in old wome-ouchhh" Joy was cut off by hard punch on her arm

 

"I'm not" Wendy eyes Joy in annoyance 

 

"What's with you oldies and punching?" Joy pouted 

 

"Yucks, stop. It was so traumatic to see you pout" Irene closes her eyes in pain 

 

"And yucks, stop. It's so traumatizing to witness you stare at Wendy unnie's all the time " Joy smirks as Irene has wide eyes, jaw dropped, with Wendy blushing looking at her feet. 

 

"I-I don't st-tare at her b- all the time"  Irene tried to play it cool but Joy has different plans 

 

"Not all the time but you do. Why don't you make it your hobby? I mean you enjoy doing it, don't you? Wendy unnie's is the best, right? " Joy was smirking. At this rate it was impossible for Irene to confirm or deny the embarrassing matter in presence of its owner, so the best thing she could do is to divert the topic 

 

"Wendy you are not going" 

 

"And we are back to square again" Joy mumbles 

 

"But I want to go. And I have to, no other choice is left" Wendy pouts 

 

"Here we go again" Joy mumbles again 

 

"Will you stop adding your background comments"  Irene angrily turns to Joy and that makes the girl mum. After thinking Irene shocked everyone 

 

"Fine if you want to go then go, only if I'm going too." 

 

"Wait,... What?"

 

"I'm going with you on this field trip"  Irene didn't inform, she gave her final statement 

 

"B-but what about your council meeting?" 

 

"It's not that important and they can sure manage without me" 

 

"WOH IRENE BAE SKIPPING HER DUTY!" Joy was the one in shock 

 

"Can you keep your dying duck like voice down, we are in lobby, people are looking at us" Irene hissed at Joy after getting few odd looks from the passing students 

 

"Unnie, really it's not necessary for you to join me, it's just an inspection thingy, we are not gonna be there for long. Only one day mayb-" 

 

"ONE DAY! It's one day, Wendy. And anything can happen. I have to be there for you. What if you slip and fall down or you get separated from the group. I can't leave you on your own. It's not safe." Irene eyes were filled with worries and that made Wendy's stupid heart to beat fast 

 

"Excuses-excuses, Miss Bae… Miss Son,please take her with you. She can't stay away from you. #Wenrene is real as fffuccckkkk ouchhhhhh" Joy rolled in pain as both Irene and Wendy punched Joy hard. They both high fived at Joy's painful expression 

 

"You deserve it. Spewing nonsense all the time" Irene scolded Joy who was groaning in pain 

 

"I told you to behave,Joy. Didn't I?" Wendy asked with a disappointed look as she was also worried for her dongsaeng 

 

"Fine, I'm the bad . this I'm out. You guys are hopeless" Joy leaves the shorties alone while mumbling curses for tiny unnies to confess already 

 

'God knows only when these stupid tiny lesbians will confess and have babies.' 

 

..

 

"I hope we didn't hit hard,"  Irene said to no-one. Wendy smiled as she knew how much Irene loves Joy. But they both are short tempered and very stubborn. Truth is Joy and Irene are someone you can rely on. They will listen to you and will silently provide you strength. And no one can compare to their beauty and competitive nature.  They bicker all day but in the end they can give their own life for each other. Truly a mother-(unwanted) daughter sitcom. 

 

"She is just overacting, you know" Wendy smiles at Irene's relaxed expression 

 

"I sometimes forget how much of a dramatic whiny baby she is" Both burst into laughter , in fact Joy is their baby, if they ever realised that. 

 

"Unnie, I'm not asking you because I know you are going to do what you want. But make sure you don't get in trouble. You know how much prom is a big deal" Wendy stares at Irene

 

"I know. It's better I go with you then being in stress all day. I know you can't even find your own socks" Wendy blushes at Irene's words. 

It's true because Irene is the one who does the  laundry for both. Irene keeps all the clothes and because of that Wendy can never find her clothing, and also Irene borrows her clothes without asking, which is actually good to know how comfortable they are with each other. They both share a room. Yes and it's the hardest thing to endure
