For Weeks, Seulgi Had Been Courageously Courting Irene, Trying To Win Her Affections With Sincerity And Genuine Care. Each Passing Day, They Grew Closer, And Seulgi Believed They Were On The Cusp Of Something Extraordinary. Little Did She Know That Fate Had A Different Plan In Store, One That Would Challenge The Course Of Their Blossoming Romance.

As The Gentle Breeze Carried The Scent Of Wildflowers, Seulgi Looked Up To See A Familiar Figure Approaching In The Distance. Red Velvet Members Are In A Café. Her Heart Sank, Recognizing The Newcomer- Bogum, The Alluring And Charming Rival Whose Very Presence Made Hearts Skip A Beat.

Bogum's Eyes Locked With Irene's, And A Soft Smile Graced His Lips As He Approached. Seulgi's Stomach Churned With Unease, For She Knew That Bogum Had Been Irene's Mc Partner In The Music Bank And She Knows Bogum Has A Crush On Irene. As Much As Seulgi Tried To Quell The Rising Tide Of Insecurity, It Was Hard To Ignore The Bond That Bogum And Irene Shared.

Irene: Bogum Ssi What A Coincidence

Bogum: Hello Irene Ssi

Irene Intoduced Bogum To Her Members And They Exchange Greetngs , Irene Asked Him To Join Them

Irene: So How Is Life Bogum Ssi

Bogum: It's Fine Irene Ssi. What About You. You Are Glowing More Than The Last Time I Saw You

Irene: (Blushed) You And Your Asusual Sweet Mouth

Bogum: What I Just Told The Truth. Anyways Are You Single Irene

Irene: Yes (Glances Seulgi)

Bogum: Perfect. Irene This May Sounds Strange But I Like You When I First Saw You In The Music Bank And I Was Too Coward Back Then To Confess My Feelings. Now I Don't Want To Waste Any Chances. So Will You Allow Me To Court You Irene

Irene: (Heart Skips A Beat) I Don't Know What To Say Bogum Ssi

Bogum: Please Take You Time Irene And Answer Me When You Are Ready.I Will Wait For You

They Both Exchanged Numbers And Bogum Bid His Farewell And Went

Wendy: What Are You Going To Do Unnie?

Irene: I Don't Know Seungwannah

Joy: What Do You Think About Him Unnie?

Irene: I Think I Have A Crush On Him Sooyoungah. And I'm Going To Accept Him As My Suitor

She Doesn't Know That A Bear Looking Member's Heart Is Crushing Because Of Her Words

Yeri: But What About Seulgi Unnie?

Irene: (Glanced Seulgi And Sighed) That's Why I Told Her To Stop This Nonsense. I Can't Love Seulgi In That Way Yerimmah.

Seulgi: (Got Hurt Because Of Her Words)

Joy: Unnie Can You Atleast Try To Appreciate Her Efforts.

Irene: I Don't Want To Give Her False Hope

Seulgi: Don't Worry Unnie I Won't Expect Anything. But Don't Stop Me From Showing My Love Towards You. I Still Have Time. I Will Stop When You Have Someone To Take Care Of You Unnie(Smile Slightly)

Irene: Whatever Seulgi. But Don't Blame At Last (She Stood And Went)

Wendy: Please Don't Hurt Yourself Seulgi Yah~~(Concerned Tone)

Seulgi: I Will Be Alright Wannah Come Let's Go. Don't Make Unnie Wait

A Week After The Café Incident Irene Allowed Bogum To Be Her Suitor And She Told Him About Seulgi Being Her Another Suitor But He Didn't Mind That And Said That He Will Be Fair And He Doesn't Want To Be Rude To Seulgi

The Next Few Days Were Marked By An Underlying Tension, And Seulgi's Heartache Grew With Every Encounter Between Irene And Bogum. Seulgi's Genuine Affection For Irene, However, Did Not Waver. Determined To Prove Herself, She Planned A Special Evening For Them At A Quaint Café Overlooking The City Lights, A Place That Held Fond Memories For Both Of Them.

As The Evening Sun Dipped Below The Horizon, Casting An Ethereal Glow Over The City, Seulgi Poured Her Heart Out To Irene. She Spoke Of The Joy She Felt In Her Company, The Warmth That Enveloped Her Heart When They Were Together, And The Unyielding Hope That Their Love Could Transcend The Shadows Of Bogum's Presence.

Though Irene's Heart Fluttered By The Efforts Done By Seulgi. She Denied Them And She Didn't Give Any Importance To Seulgi. Mostly She Will Cancel The Plan At The Last Minute And She Will Lash Out At Seulgi For Being Childish.
