Rainbow

Chapter 8

Irene's POV
"Where are you?" I texted Seulgi after I finished my vocal lesson.

I was waiting for the elevator to open when my phone vibrated. I looked at it and saw Seulgi's reply.

"I'm on the rooftop of SG building, my woman. Why?"

I didn't respond to his message and entered the elevator when it opened. I pressed the rooftop button and waited to reach the rooftop.

When the elevator opened, I saw Seulgi leaning on the rooftop railing and looking down.

I crinkled my nose when I smelled the smoke of cigarettes, so I stopped meters away from him. He didn't notice me because he was busy smoking.

"Seulgi," I called him.

I was sniffing my sweater cuff hole when he turned around and smiled after he saw me. "Feel cold?" I shook my head and stopped smelling my sweater. He looked at the cigarette between his fingers and looked at me again. "Don't like the smell of cigarette smoke?"

I nodded, "I actually hate it."

"Oh, sorry." He died it down first before throwing it in the trashcan. He kept the distance between us and looked at me. "Why are you looking for me, my woman?"

"I just ---" He cut me off when I was about to step closer to him.

He faces his palm to me. "Wait. Don't come closer. I smell cigarette." He said and scratched his head in mortification.

I laughed softly and walked towards him, "It's fine. I only don't like cigarette smoke." I stopped walking when I was in front of him. "Here. Blackvelvet album with their signature." I stretched my hand that held the album.

His eyes widened, and he took it quickly. He looked at me after seconds of looking at it and smiled widely. "Thank you, Joohyuna! You don't know how you made me happy today!" He said merrily.

I laughed at his reaction. He's so happy that he didn't call me my woman, huh? "Don't mention it." I walked towards the railing and leaned my back on it because I'm afraid of heights.

"Anyway, where are your members?" He asked.

I glanced at him and saw he was busy looking at the album. "They have solo activities. So I just decided to go here to have my vocal lesson and give that to you."

"You're not going home yet?"

I looked at him, "You will send me away after you get what you want?"

He looked at me and shook his head immediately. "No. It's not what I meant. I'm just asking. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." He explained in panic.

I laughed softly. Adorable. "I'm just kidding."

He looked at me dumbfounded and sighed in relief. "I thought I offended you."

I smiled and shook my head. "Anyway, I'm wondering who is your favorite on Blackvelvet members? Or what they called bias, right?"

"Yeah. You're right." He flipped the pages of the album and showed the picture of Jisoo. "She's my bias."

I nodded, "Why?"

He looked at the album and smiled. "Because she's pretty. I also like her unpredictable and quirky 4D personality. Honestly, she's my second crush in celebrity."

I nodded, "If you didn't have a girlfriend and given a chance to date her, would you grab it?"

He chuckled and looked ahead while leaning his back on the railing, "Of course, I will." I was about to say something when he spoke again. "If she's not an idol and just an ordinary person."

I raised my eyebrow. "Don't you want to date an idol?" But he's currently dating an idol.

"As much as possible, I don't want because we need to hide every time we date, and we can't do what normal couples do. But I think I have no other choice but to bear with it if that happens to me." He said and laughed.

"Yeah. You can't do anything when it comes to love." I commented and looked in front of us. "What about your bias wrecker?" I glanced at him and saw that he was looking at me. "Who is your bias wrecker on Blackvelvet members?"

"The other members are my bias wreckers. I love all their personalities. It happened that Miss Jisoo is ahead of them a little." He answered and chuckled.

I looked at him. "What about in our group? Who is your bias?"

He smiled at me. "Of course you." He winked at me after.

I laughed softly as I rolled my eyes. "Don't lie to me, Seulgi."

He laughed, "Honestly speaking, my bias on your group is Wendy. So, I was so happy when I became friends with her. Frankly, she's my first crush on a celebrity."

"Really?" I asked in surprise. He nodded. "That was why your eyes were sparkling as you looked at her when we first met you."

His eyes widened. "Is that really happened?" I laughed softly and nodded. He groaned, "That's humiliating."

I laughed, "That's okay. I think I was the only one who noticed it because my other members didn't talk about it."

He sighed in relief. "I hope so."

"Then, why isn't she the one you call 'my woman?'" I asked, quoting my fingers in the air.

"Because I prefer you to call that." He wiggled his eyebrows playfully.

I laughed, "Whatever, Seulgi." I shook my head. This man is really a flirt. "And who's your bias wrecker/s in our group? And please don't answer that it is me."

"But you're really my bias wrecker. And I'm not lying." He smiled at me after.

I stared at him for seconds and realized that he is not just adorable, but he is also handsome.

I flicked his forehead lightly after. "You talked nonsense." He just laughed and looked in front of us. I looked at my phone when it vibrated and looked at Seulgi again after I read it. "I have to go now. Manager Dohwan is already in the lobby, waiting for me."

He looked at me and nodded. "Let's go down together. I'm also going to leave now."

"Okay. Let's go." We walked towards the elevator. "Why are you here, by the way?"

"I always go here after our practice to do my session."

I frowned at him. "Session?"

He nodded and glanced at me. "Yeah, smoking session."

"When did you start smoking?" We entered the elevator when it opened.

"When I was in my second year of college. I think it was 12 or 13 years from now? My former classmate said to try it, so I tried it. But I stopped smoking when Chaeyeon told me to stop. I just doing it again after we broke up."

"How much do you smoke a day?"

"This year, I smoke a pack per day. And it increases every time I'm stressed."

I nodded, "How many cigarettes are in a pack?" We went outside the elevator when it opened.

"Twenty cigarettes."

I looked at him in surprise. "Twenty cigarettes?! It's bad for your health."

He laughed, "I know. But I can't stop it. I'm craving for it every time."

I just shook my head in disbelief at what I heard. After that, we bid our goodbyes and parted ways when we reached the lobby.
