Hi Stranger? | Seulrene

Chapter XXVII

Irene's POV

I heard a knock on the door just when I exited the bathroom.

"Come on in." I said as. I went to the vanity table to get hair dry.

"Hey." I heard Seulgi's voice, when the door opened. I look over to her through the mirror.

"Where's Selene? It's almost her bedtime." I asked.

"Can she sleep with me tonight?" She asked. I smiled at her.

"She can." I continue to blowdry my hair. "Just don't let her sleep late." I said.

"How about you?" I stopped what I'm doing and look at her again. "Will you be okay sleeping here alone?"

"I'm fine. I'm used to it already." I know exactly what she's trying to do now.

"I see. I... I just thought you might be lonely without Selene." I shook my head at that. "Maybe you want to..."

"Sleep with you?" Our eyes met and her expression is in shock.

We've been staying here at her house for days now. We're staying in different rooms. Me and Selene are staying in one of her guest rooms.

Since she just got her memory back, I just don't want to put too much pressure on her when it comes to our relationship.

Now I just can't help but smile at how she's trying...

"No. I-it's not what I mean... I mean there's Sel-Selene is with us."

"Don't stutter love." I stand up and went to her. "I'll sleep with you." I said, teasing her. Haha. I walk passed her and go out of the room.

"Hyuuun!!" I heard her whine behind me.

"Unnie! Good, you're here now." Yerim said as I reach the living room.

They were all watching TV. Yerim came up to me and hand me over her Ipad.

"Do you want me to attend on your behalf again?" Huh?

I look over what she just gave me. I read what was written.

"You can stay here, if you don't want to fly back yet."

"Fly back?" I got startled when I heard Seulgi spoke next to me. She look down at what I'm holding. "Do you need to go?" She face me.

"Actually, she doesn't." Yeri said before I can even answered. I turn to look at her. "What? You never go to this meetings"

"Why?" Seulgi questioned. "Not all authors can have the opportunity to make their books turn in to moving pictures."

"And not all stories needs to be seen in moving pictures." I said. I give Yeri back her pad.

"I guess that's another rejection." Yeri said.

"Another? So there's been..."

"Tons!" Yerim exclaimed. "But sometimes some people just really wanted to know who's behind those books, that's why they set up these meetings."

"I wanted to ask why are you hiding your identi... Oh." The moment I face her again she realizes why I really did it. It must've slipped her mind that I did that to hide.

"It was for the better Seulgi unnie. Imagine putting a face behind her famous name. She would have more admirers than she already has now. It would've been a problem for you." Oh God.

"Yerim." I warned her.

"It's true. Remember that rich guy who loves your books so much, that he was willing to spend thousands just to meet you in person?"

"What?! Did get he to meet you?" I was startled when Seulgi made me face her and questioned it directly at me.

"Hmm." I nodded as an answer.

"He even became unnie's suitor." My eyes widen at what Yeri just said, because it was a lie.

The guy just really want to meet and ask questions about the books, because he loves reading so much. Plus, that guy was still in his teens. Now what the hell is Kim Yerim saying?

"He didn't." I denied. I look at Seulgi and shook my head.

"I already found you now. Do you still want to keep yourself hidden from the rest of the people who wants to know you?" She asks.

"My works are loved and it's already enough for me. I don't need attention for myself." I said to her.

"That's good to hear." She faintly said.

"Huh?"

"You two are really something." Yerim spoke before going back to the couch.

"Baby are you not sleepy yet?" I called and asked Selene, who's just watching what's on screen.

"Mama can I sleep with Auntie Sooyoung and Auntie Wendy tonight?" Huh? I thought... I turn to look at Seulgi.

"You didn't asked her first?" I said almost in a whisper. She shook her head.

"Unnie, we'll take care of her. We'll just finish this movie and head to bed after." Sooyoung said. I only end up nodding at what she said.

Next thing I know Selene's in front of me already.

"Mama, do you not want me to?" I loo at her and smiled.

"No baby. It's okay." I leveled down to her and kissed her head.

"Mommy can sleep with you." I pause at what she said.

"W-what?" I said. She smiled at me like what she had said is normal. At least to her it is. I mean I teased Seulgi with the same words earlier, and now it's back at me.

It doesn't even take a minute for the three to laugh at what Selene just said.

"Yeah unnie! You two can sleep together." Yeri said as she's holding back her laughs.

"Shut up Kim Yerim."

"Little one, say goodnight to your Mama and Mom now. Maybe they're sleepy already." Wendy spoke. Oh God!

"Yaah." I said to them. Not her teasing us too. I felt Selene kiss me in the cheek.

"Good night Mama." She then went to Seulgi. She asked her to go down for her to reach her and give her a kiss too. "Good night to you too, Mommy."

"G-good Night." She stutter that made me  scoff. Well then...

I stand up. I look over to the three persons on the couch. I smiled. Might as well give in to their teasing. I look at Seulgi.

"Let's go love." She look up to me surprised.

"H-huh?"

"Let's head to bed already?" I said. I offered a hand to her. She accepted it and stand up.

Selene then went back to her Aunties and settled between them.

"Auntie, play it back." She said requested to them.

"Oh okay." Wendy said. I smiled at their reactions. They all went silent after what I said. I face Seulgi again.

"Your room or our room?" I asked.

"Are you really..." I cut her off.

"Your room it is." I dragged her on the way to her room.

"You never change." She said as soon as we enter her room. I went to her bed and face her. "You're always a tease."

"Did you want me to change?" She shake her head.

"No." 

I pulled her to the bed. "Come on. I want your cuddles."

"Just cuddles?" I laugh a little at that.

"Yeah. Just cuddles"
