DERANGER - SEULRENE

025

"taetae, what the hell are you doing?" tiffany stands from the chair to stop her wife, who's already walking out of the bar's office where they took you after you broke down.

"i am calling that wanker over." taeyeon presses the phone next to her ear. "she needs to take responsibility for what she's done to my cousin."

"take responsibility for what? it's not like she got irene pregnant!"

"i don't care. i need to teach that kid a less--" taeyeon stops. "hey, seulgi. are you done with yuri yet?"

"unni, please don't--" you are about to stand, but taeyeon signals you to stay seated on the couch as she walks out of the office.

sighing, tiffany shakes her head and goes back to sitting beside you on the couch.

"how are you feeling?" she places a hand on your lap.

"ashamed," you whisper as you fiddle with your fingers. "it's not seulgi's fault i'm having a hard time dealing with this. we both wanted it, and i was the one who asked us to stop."

"yeah. but it's also not your fault that you fell in love with her, you know?"

you shift your gaze to tiffany, then back to your hands. you nod.

it's something you've never acknowledged before, your feeling towards seulgi. you were too afraid to label it, knowing you're not supposed to feel something like that towards a woman--especially a much younger one.

but now that you've told tiffany and taeyeon about it, it feels like a weight was lifted off your shoulders.

"i wonder tho..." tiffany taps your leg, getting your attention. "given the number of flings seulgi had, can you confirm if she's that good in bed?"

you blush at that. "unni..."

"come on. don't be shy now." tiffany playfully nudges you. "you wouldn't be like that if she didn't give you a good time. and she's still young. i'm sure she's as active as my byuntae--if not, even more."

you shyly look away as you run a hand up and down your arm.

"and now that you've tasted both sides, which one do you prefer?" tiffany asks further, making you blush even more.

"unni... i... i don't think it's about the gender," you shyly say, not meeting her eyes. "i think it's about the person. if you like the person, you'd feel good for sure."

tiffany gives you that serious-looking smile before she tidies your hair. "awe. you really are in love, aren't you? our baby bunny is all grown up now."

your moment is disturbed when taeyeon comes back in, a devious smile adorning her face. she cracks her knuckles.

"okay. she's coming over. imma break some bones later."

---

taeyeon asked you to stay in the office when seulgi confirmed she's arrived at the bar.

tiffany followed her wife out to make sure no one would get murdered tonight.

so, you sit and wait, not sure what to expect. it makes you nervous knowing seulgi's in the same area as you--just a couple of metres away for you to touch.

is krystal still with her tho?

and what could taeyeon be telling seulgi right now? gosh. you wish it's not something you'd be embarrassed about.

the music penetrating from the bar alerts you when the door opens.

your heartbeat rises at the sight of a figure holding the door, still in that familiar white dress shirt, head turned away talking to somebody outside.
