Follow me || Red Velvet & Seulrene

Chapter 78

The clock was ticking and ticking, the black clock hand was still resting over the seven. This couldn't be real. Hadn't it been there since five minutes? Or ten? She groaned. Wednesday was really one of the most boring days. History resembling the worst part.

Her gaze landed on the northern tract, the red morning sun reflecting in its windows. Three weeks ago, she had finally solved the mystery around the school. Finally, this disaster ended.

She could still remember the small office-like room that was hidden behind the old door. They found hundreds of self-written papers, studies about this school, old diary entries of Arnold Priston etc.

In a black safe under the desk, they found all the predicted money this old dude made with the competitions. And that was the point as they realized that they should maybe talk to Bang Chan and the school.

All in all, Jisoo and her friends didn't have to leave the school, they just needed to explain the police every detail about the complex and the history of St. Priston. Now, the northern tract was locked up since a big fence surrounded the building.

And the complex.

The mechanism Tzuyu, Ryujin and Minho activated was turned off. The task was just to open the entrance door of the hidden room, and as they did, they also out an end to this shit. Seulgi could live in peace now... Okay, maybe just sleep better.

Bang Chan wasn't very amused at first as he heard the story from Seulgi, but as the police declared the money they found as property of the school, his eyes sparkled. Now they didn't have to deal with the finance people anymore...

Slowly but surely, the daily live returned. Jihyo, Chae and her began to play soccer again, to Jeongyeon's surprise since she already thought about giving up her team.

Mina's new living place became the library, now having Chae beside her who read books about plants and the nature. The girl finally found a hobby, and with the help of Mina, she really improved her biology skills.

Jisoo established a chess club with Irene so they could teach the game to new students. Yeri signed in for fun, but now having her signature on the paper, Irene forces her to come every week to the meetings. It was always the same whine Seulgi had to endure.

And Seulgi? She finally took some time for herself and her relationship with Irene. She had not even realized how stressing her life had been, and how she had pressured herself. Now was time for herself. And she would use that.

With the fat history book under her arm, she walked out of the class, leaving the negativity of this room behind her. Worst part of the day: Check. For the rest of the morning, she just had to sit in art class.

Seulgi walked down the corridor, calming her senses once to gain more energy. The weather was nice today, especially since it wasn't too hot or too cold. The winter rope was warm enough.

Her phone started to ring as she passed the middle tract. She rapidly got rid of her bag and grabbed her phone, seeing that it was Jihyo.

"What the hell Jihyo, you should be in class?!", Seulgi answered the call.

"Dumbass. Shut up  and come outside. There is somebody for you", Jihyo said with excitement in her voice.

"Huh what?"

"Just come. " With this, Jihyo ended the call. Seulgi furrowed her eyebrows. Somebody? Who the fuck was somebody?

She stopped, suddenly realizing what Jihyo could have meant. Was it possible-?

Seulgi started to run, leaving her bag in the middle of the corridor. She left the building, now stepping on the school yard.

Jihyo was standing at the southern entrance, waving her hand. Irene was there too, just like Jisoo. Seulgi sprinted, her lungs almost dying.

She saw her after a few more seconds of running.

How she turned around, the eyes glowing, the lips slightly apart. Seulgi stopped.

"Seulgi" It was the only thing she whispered. "I am so sorry."

Feeling the tears running down her face, Seulgi ran to her and hugged her tight. "I missed you so much, Wendy", she managed to say. 

"I missed you more", Wendy sobbed into Seulgi's embrace. "Please forgive me Seul for hurting you", the girl cried out and hugged her even tighter.

Seulgi just nodded, not wanting to break this hug.

"Never leave me alone again with all those crackheads", Seulgi laughed while sobbing. Wendy smiled, promising that she would never do that again. 

"Everything has changed here", Wendy said after they broke the hug. "You really managed to stop the mechanism..." Seulgi eagerly nodded. "You need to tell me everything!"

"I will", Seulgi said and linked her arm with her best friend's. Jihyo, Jisoo and Irene behind her. "Let's start at the beginning", Seulgi suggested and walked inside the building.

"Follow me."

Thank you for reading this fanfiction. I appreciated all the support and love people showed for this book! I am currently thinking about publishing all my One Shots I wrote for follow me since I kinda made small side plots for the characters and wrote down things the readers might not know when they just read the main story. Spoiler: Michaeng's relationship or Irene's past.

If you are interested in more Seulrene stories, you can of course read Reveal (a rather short story about Seulgi's and Irene's hidden relationship while being in SM Entertainmet) or Step 7 (my personal favourite, a story set in a former convent with a dark atmosphere and nice characters).

If you are into Twice, you can wait for my new story 'QED' which will be a collaboration with @luneelara and seriously a masterpiece :) 

I wish you the best and thank you again for reading follow me, it was a pleasure for me to publish this story and to see your comments.

love you!
