Bound to Love You

15- As Fragile As Glass

The next day, the Irene decided to make breakfast for the girls before they went to the filming location. She wanted to prepare hot soup to help with the girls' hangover and to discuss something. As soon as she finished arranging the table, Wendy came.

"Good morning Unnie!" she said gleefully.

"Morning, can you please wake the others so we can have breakfast before we go?" Asked Irene.

"Sure Unnie," she replied.

Soon enough, everyone sat at the table and began to eat.

"Thank you for the food, Unnie" said Seulgi before she dug in.

"No problem. How's your hangover?" she asked.

"A little better thanks to your amazing soup," Seulgi replied as she devoured the food.

Irene laughed and handed Seulgi some tissues.

"Anyway, before we go, I needed to talk to you because of what happened last night." Irene started.

Seulgi's eyes widened. She immediately got up from her seat and went to Irene and grabbed her hands.

"Unnie, I'm so sorry for getting black-out-drunk last night. Did you get in trouble with the Director?" she asked worriedly.

"No Seul. It's not that. But thanks for reminding me." Irene raised her hand and flicked Seulgi's forehead. "Stop drinking too much."

"Ouch! Unnie... " she whined.

Wendy and Yeri laughed.

Irene sighed. "Be grateful we didn't leave you outside last night. Now go back to your seat."

"Ne!" Seulgi smiled.

"Anyway, what I wanted to talk about was what happened with Yeri last night." Irene continued.

"Oooohh.." Seulgi and Wendy uttered simultaneously.

Yeri glared at the both of them.

"I knew this was a trap!" Yeri said as put down her utensils and faced Irene.

Yeri was about to stand up and leave when Irene called her.

"Yeri, please tell us what happened so we can help you." Irene encouraged her.

"Wait, Unnie. What happened with Yeri?" asked Wendy.

"Nothing happened." Yeri interrupted.

"Yeri... " Irene called her once again and went to her side.  She crouched down, grabbed her hands and looked up at her.

"If he hurt you in any way, please tell me. I- no we, don't want you to bottle it up and keep it to yourself until you end up hurting yourself again." Irene comforted her as she rubbed Yeri's hands with her thumb.

Their beautiful maknae, whose as tough as nails on the outside, was especially fragile on the inside; as fragile as glass. She had been through alot in her young life and they were afraid she would break anytime.

Yeri sighed. She knew Irene was right.

"I know Unnie. Thank you but it really wasn't a big deal. I guess I was just expecting he was different." she said.

"What did he do?" asked Seulgi who was now also at Yeri's side.

"Nothing serious really. I guess I was just assuming things." Yeri aswered somberly.

"What did he do?" Wendy asked as well.

Yeri looked at them, she was a bit hesitant but she knew her Unnies will always understand her.

"It's just that he kept on bothering me, flirting with me and being sweet and thoughtful...and at some point, I thought maybe he actually really liked me but.." she paused. "Last night, I found out...he already had...a girlfriend."

"Wtf! I'm gonna kill that guy!!" yelled Seulgi.

"I'll join you," added Wendy.

The girls were definitely angry but Yeri knew she had to soothe their anger.

"Unnie, just let it go. I'll just ignore him. I don't want to disrupt Irene Unnie's work." argued Yeri.

Irene stood up and looked directly at Yeri.

"Yeri, you're more important than my work." Irene assured her.

Tears were on the brink of falling from Yeri's eyes. "Thank you Unnie but, please. I really don't want you to get in trouble because of me."

Irene sighed. "Fine, but he will get a long ass lecture from us."

"That's right! I'll ask Jimin to decipline him too." Seulgi added.

"That Yoongi guy seemed pretty serious and strict. Maybe I can ask him to beat that as*hole up a little." Wendy continued.

A smile finally appeared on Yeri's face. God may not have given her a good life when she was younger but she's still grateful beacause, being with her Unnies right now is the best life she could ask for.
