Chapter 47

Wendy's POV
"Did you talk to Seulgi oppa yesterday, Wendy unnie?" Yeri asked me while we were having dinner.

I nodded and swallowed my food. "Yeah. I went to his condo to make sure I could talk to him."

"Did he tell you why he left his team?" Joy asked.

I glanced at Irene unnie, who was busy eating but seemed to be listening to our conversation. Honestly, in the past week, I didn't assume something happened between her and Seulgi. She still acted the same way. That's why I was so surprised after I knew that she was the reason why Seulgi left.

"He did," I answered.

"What was his reason?" Yeri asked curiously.

"He was afraid he might steal me from D.O. oppa because he was completely smitten with me. So, he decided to leave so as not to cause trouble." I laughed after I answered.

They sighed, including unnie. "Ahh unnie~. Tell us what the real reason is." Joy whined.

I laughed softly, "What will I get from you if I tell you?" I asked with a playful smile.

"I'll cook tteokbokki for a week for you, unnie," Joy said after seconds of thinking.

"I'll do the laundry for you, Wendy unnie," Yeri said.

Irene unnie shook her head, as if tired of listening to us, before drinking her water and standing up. "I'll go to my room, girls." She spoke, and we nodded at her as a response. She put her plate in the sink and washed it.

I looked at the two when unnie left the dining area. "It's no deal. I don't trust what you will do. I'd rather cook and do laundry for myself." I said and finished eating.

"Unnie, please tell us. We're curious." Yeri still insists.

I shook my head and swallowed my food, "Curiosity won't kill you." I said and laughed. I drank my water and left them in disappointment.

After I washed my dishes, I went to unnie's door and knocked on it.

"Come in." I heard her say inside. So, I opened her door and saw her lying on her bed and busy on her phone.

I entered and closed the door. "Why did you do that to Seulgi, unnie?" I asked while walking towards her and sat on the edge of her bed.

She looked at me in confusion before sitting up on her bed. "Did what?"

"Why did you push him away from you like that?" I asked calmly.

She looked taken aback by my question but recovered quickly. "Is that the reason why he left?"

I sighed, "You shouldn't have done that to him, unnie." I said, not answering her question.

"That's not what I meant. What I mean about that is to do it whenever I'm with Bogum." She explained with a frown.

"But still, you shouldn't have told him that, unnie. He's your friend." I said, still trying to compose myself.

"Do you think I didn't tell Bogum that Seulgi was my friend when he told me to distance myself from him? I did, Wendy, but he answered to me he is my boyfriend." Unnie said in frustration.

What I heard from unnie added to my irritation. So, Bogum oppa told unnie to stay away from Seulgi? Does he not trust unnie? And he wasn't satisfied about that. He also did something awful to Seulgi.

"Yes, he's your boyfriend. But who's the one who was there for you to accompany you whenever you were feeling down? We, your members, know you talk about your problems with Seulgi. So, we were happy because even if you didn't share anything with us, you didn't bear it all to yourself. Yes, Bogum oppa is your boyfriend. But is he always there for you when you need him for the past years? He isn't, right? He only came back into your life not long ago, but you still chose him over Seulgi, who became your crying shoulder."

"I didn't ask Seulgi for help. He's the one who insisted on it." I looked at unnie in irritation at what she said because I felt hurt for Seulgi. "Yes, you're right. Bogum recently returned, but I'm afraid I'll lose him again if I don't do what he said. You don't know how much I waited for the day we could be together again. You don't understand me because you are not in my situation. You didn't experience what I experienced, only to see him again. You didn't feel what I felt when I wanted to be with him. You don't understand me because you're not me, Wendy." She said with a hint of irritation.

"Yes, I'm not in your shoes, but I will never choose my boyfriend over my friends, over you, unnie," I said and stood up. "I hope you won't regret it in the end." I walked out of her room before slamming her door.

Joy and Yeri, who were watching in the living area, looked at me in astonishment. "What happened, unnie? Did you two fight?" Yeri asked worriedly.

I shook my head and walked towards them. "It's just a little misunderstanding."

Joy raised her eyebrow. "A little, but you slammed the door, huh?" She said sarcastically.

I sighed and stood at their side. "I'm just going out to calm myself down," I said before leaving them.

Irene's POV
I sighed in frustration after Wendy left. Of course, I will choose my members over Bogum. But it's different when it comes to Seulgi and Bogum.

I think it's just right to choose my boyfriend over Seulgi because, before Seulgi, Bogum used to be the one who was there for me. He used to listen to my rants and problems and cheer me up when I was downhearted.

I didn't mean what I said about Seulgi earlier. I really appreciated what he did for me. He helped me a lot, and he was undoubtedly my crying shoulder. I was just annoyed by what Wendy said.

I knew Bogum was not there for me when I needed him for the past years, and he just now came back into my life. But it's not that he wants that to happen, that he wants us to separate.

Wendy doesn't know how Bogum tried to be with me again. She doesn't know his effort. So, I was annoyed at how she talked like that about Bogum.

I looked at my phone when it rang. It's Bogum. He must be wondering why I didn't reply to his message because we were texting before Wendy came to my room. So, I composed myself first before answering the video call.
