they finished their classes. seulgi thought about what yeri said, to make a move on irene.

but what should she do? at this rate she's just gonna keep renting irene.

ask irene out but not as renting her? maybe i'll do that later when we're closer, she thought.

~at their class the next day~
 

seulgi decided to sit next to irene today. i hope she wouldn't mind, seulgi thought.

after class

-"hey here's my personal number,"irene wrote it on paper then gave it to seulgi

-"thanks! but i thought you don't give it to your customers? why give it to me?" seulgi was confused

-"if you're not renting me i consider you as friends. but don't worry you can still continue to rent me if you want!" irene said

-"so we're like friends that fake date for nothing at all?" seulgi asked a random question 

-"yeah i think so, like that" irene giggles

so they're friends now. 

i guess i mean something to her so it's safer to ask her out, seulgi thought again.

💬

seulgi: YERI I GOT HER NUMBER

yeri: yess now ask her out not as renting her

seulgi: i'm thinking to..she consider me as friends if i'm not renting here is it safer to ask her out?

yeri: i think so. you should do it some time soon.

seulgi: okay, thanks yeri

there's just one thing she is worrying about. her friends believed that irene is her girlfriend. she couldn't say they broke up because it had just been a short time since they knew about irene.

she texted irene to meet up and said she isn't renting her this time

💬

seulgi: can we meet up?

irene: okay

seulgi: not as renting

irene: okay so where

seulgi: come over again? you know the address

irene: i'll come!

~at seulgi's house~
 

-"i'm here!" irene said

-"okay," seulgi said

-"so why are we meeting up?" irene asked

-"so since our friends believed that we are dating, we have to like fake date?" seulgi asked

-"you know, just tell them the truth,"irene said

-"they wouldn't believe it-" seulgi said

-"i will go with you and explain," irene said

-"really? you would do that?" seulgi asked

-"yeah, you know we can't fake something for so long. you can still rent me tho!" irene said

-"yeah but we gotta keep an eye out for them-" seulgi said

-"yeah," irene nodded

they looked at the sky

-"oh look, the stars are beautiful tonight," irene said
