SMILE FOR ME AGAIN

SMILE 23

Seulgi squirming on her bed and found no one besides her. She open her eyes and she was alone in the room. She assume that Irene has wake up earlier than her. She doesn't remember what time she went to sleep last night. The only think that she remember was she left her room after the unexplainable kiss she received from Irene. She sit at the living room while thinking for the meaning of the kiss until her mother reach home from their restaurant. She had a small talk with her mother until it was past midnight before her mother told her to go to sleep because she look so tired and sleepy. Irene had fall asleep the moment Seulgi enter her room last night and she went to sleep after that.

The idol pull up from her bed and she tidy up her bed and do her morning routine. She do light stretching to completely wake up. After that she walked out of the room to take her morning shower to fresh up her body and her mind. Yes, her mind which messed up since last night kiss. After she took shower and dressed up, she strides down the stairs and pave way to the kitchen.

She can hear her mother's and Irene's voice chatting and laughing as she gets closer to the kitchen. Seulgi stop her way at the kitchen doorway to observe the other two woman interacting with each other. She leaned her body on the kitchen door as she stares at Irene's back side who is currently talking to her mother. The idol feel so glad when Irene look comfortable around her mother. Irene is helping Mrs. Kang preparing breakfast and they look like a family although they just met yesterday. She didn't realise that she had been staring at the older for almost a good 5 minutes without making any move or sound. Staring at a goddess can make you lose track of time sometimes.

"Just wake up, your Highness?", Seulgi snapped from her reverie once she heard her mother's teasing tone. She straightened her body and she noticed that her mother was smirking at her.

Irene turns around when she hears Mrs. Kang's words. She looks at the doorway and her eyes meet with Seulgi, who currently flustering from her mother's tease. Seulgi shyly smiled at her. Irene slowly looked down. Suddenly feel so shy because of last night's event. She turned around and back facing Seulgi.

"Aigoo mom. I'm sorry I just woke up ", she said and hugged her mother.

"You sleepyhead. It's so hard to break your sleeping habit. Thankfully Irene is here to help me", Seulgi glances at Irene who continued her cooking.

"Thank God I brought her together. Thank you Irene", she softly said.

Seulgi whines when her mother hits her arm. "Aww"

"She is our guest. Don't you dare treat her like your manager here", Mrs. Kang warned her.

"I'm not. Never. She's my friend. A very special one", Seulgi grinning.

Irene's heart fluttered when she heard Seulgi's words but she bit her inside cheek to hide her smile.

"Stop grinning and help setting the table", Mrs. Kang pushes her daughter lightly and gestures Seulgi to the dining table.

Seulgi was so happy when she saw her favourite dish placed on the table. She quickly picked up her chopstick and picked beef bulgogi with it without even waiting for the other two womens in front of her to take their seat. She gives her thumbs up after savouring the taste. Indicating that she agrees with the taste.

Mrs. Kang turned to her daughter and asked, "Tasty right?".

"Yes. As usual"

"Irene cook that"

"What? Really?", Seulgi shocked and looked up to Irene who just took her seat across the Kangs.

Irene smiled shyly.
