Liquid Courage
Parallel LinesSeulgi really didn’t give it much thought. Ang alam niya lang, she’s recklessly trying to hurt her first love. In retrospect, if she does this in the future, she’d be a bad lawyer. Ever since mag-migrate si Wendy in fourth grade, Seulgi had to carefully plan her actions. Her dad is an epitome of a perfectionist and her mom is just always in the limelight. On the outside, they seem to be the perfect family. Her dad’s a lawyer of a telecommunications company, her mom is a top prosecutor, and she, well she is their perfect daughter racking up awards academically. Pero ang hindi alam ng lahat, all of it is a façade and the truth is Seulgi’s parents were never home.

True, the news has been really overwhelming for her. She isn’t really the type to step into the limelight since she’s a very simple person. The only reason it’s been big is because it’s with Irene. Mukhang hindi niya napag-handaan ng mabuti ang outcome ng deal na ginawa niya, pero nandito na ito. There’s no use crying over spilled milk.
