"It's been two years since Irene unnie moved to LA, right?" I ask. "How are they?"
Seulgi unnie takes a deep breath. "She and [Y/N] got married again. And they have a new son; [Y/N] named him Henri."
"Oh, yeah, I heard about the wedding. Did you attend?"
She drinks from the bottle of beer before she answers, "No. I couldn't bring myself to. I couldn't watch the woman that I love get married to the same person who broke her. I think Joohyun made a terrible mistake. I want no part of it."
She looks straight ahead, as if she were searching for Irene unnie in the empty space.
I look at the woman that I love and watch as she dances and laughs with her lover. After all these years, seeing them together still shatters my heart into millions of tiny pieces. I would give anything just to have her look at me that way.
I look away, afraid that I'd break down in front of Seulgi unnie if I keep watching the two of them.
"Soo-young said that [Y/N] has changed," I push on, desperate to temporarily forget about the image of the woman that I love dancing with her beloved.
Seulgi unnie chuckles. "Of course she'll say that," she retorts, scrunching her nose. "[Y/N] is her best friend. She'll always take her side. But as for me, I don't believe any of it; I call bull. I just don't trust [Y/N] anymore."
I laugh at her; she looks at me sharply, but I don't stop laughing. "You should've made a move on Irene unnie the moment their marriage was crumbling. You could've had her by now."
The older woman hits my shoulder, and I wince; she is strong.
"I was going to. I really wanted to. But she told me she didn't want anybody else. For her, it was just [Y/N] or no one else at all." Once again, I look at the woman I love; Seulgi unnie follows my gaze. "When you found out about [Y/N]... Why did you tell me?"
I shrug. " I wanted you to tell Irene unnie."
"Why?"
"Because she deserved to know." I lock eyes with the older woman. "And because I knew you loved her and you wouldn't want for her to be clueless."
I reminisce about the times that I told on [Y/N]. I think I did it more for my friend Seulgi than for Irene.
When I saw the necklace on Rosé, I immediately told Seulgi about it because I knew it came from [Y/N]. Rosé thought I was unsuspecting but the moment they walked in together, I just knew.
And when we were in Thailand, I called Seulgi when Rosé snuck into [Y/N]'s room, thinking that I was fast asleep to even notice. I called and told her that Rosé came with [Y/N] even though Irene thought they'd broken up.
It wasn't an easy choice to make because Rosé has been one of my best friends in the world. And up until now, I still hate myself for betraying her.
But I thought that if it had happened to Jennie and no one helped her, I would probably kill everyone who had ever known. I wouldn't want for Jennie to be clueless if it had happened to her.
And so, I came to Seulgi. Because I knew that she loved — loves — Irene. And just like myself to Jennie, I knew that she wouldn't want for the woman she loved to be clueless neither.
"Thank you," Seulgi says, breaking me out of my reverie. "Thank you for helping me, Jisoo. You had to betray your friend and I know that it was not easy. You helped Irene, too."
I shake my head. "I told you, Seul, not Unnie. I didn't help her, you did."
"Chu!" Jennie calls, interrupting our conversation. She looks at Seulgi. "Unnie, I'm sorry but I want to borrow Jisoo. We'll play billiards."
"Why don't you play with your girlfriend?" I ask, rolling my eyes at her.
She shifts her attention to me. "Lisa wants to catch up with Joy for a couple of minutes," she answers, pointing at the two who are drinking beer and laughing. "Please, Chu. I wanna play with my best friend."
I sigh. Even though I am not in the mood to play, how can I ever say no to Jennie?
Anything for the woman I love, I think to myself as Jennie Kim, the woman who will never be mine, pulls me from my seat.
