"Wendy, you can't be serious," Seulgi groaned, viciously shaking her gaming controller. "I said I would get the package and you cover." The baby bear sat on her huge velvet couch playing alongside her best friend Wendy. She was wearing her usual long grey sweater, her hair in a ponytail and her glasses attempting to escape her face every couple of minutes. Wendy, on the other hand, was a bit more presentable. She was more exposed to the outside world and often went shopping, returning to her best friend a few hours later. She'd come back with the hottest fashion labels and the latest trends but knowing Seulgi, it was useless attempting to have her try something that isn't black, white, grey or a sweater.

"Hey, it was a part of my plan," The Canadian laughed, fumbling around with the joystick in front of her. Sure enough, Wendy's plan worked only causing the baby bear to whine more. "I'll be back, you big baby." She winked, shooting finger guns towards Seulgi, who is already packing her mouth with Pringles to ease her hurt ego.

Waiting for Wendy, Seulgi played some solo missions to pass the time. After a few hours of not hearing from her best friend, the baby bear went to go check up. Opening the Canadian's room Seulgi immediately drops her video game controller.

"W-Wendy?" Seulgi's suddenly lost the ability to speak. Instead of being greeted by her best friend, she is greeted by a broken window, the sides coated in blood. Shocked, she immediately runs out of her house to check perhaps where she went. The giant, sharped gates were wide open for the first time in years. Something tugged at the girl, resulting in the baby bear running as fast as she could; running past the gates, running away from her fears of the outside world. All for her.

All for Wendy.

She ran out into the streets; the stars and galaxies coated the sky resulting in a beautiful yet lonely collection of vivid colors. The scene only resulted in tears running down the girl's face. This is what I was missing out on all these years. Seulgi collapsed from being overwhelmed, shielding her red face with her sweater. The sound of breaking porcelain could be heard in the distance, followed by rushed footsteps coming closer to the overwhelmed baby bear.

"Oh my goodness, Joy we have to help her!" A voice shouted, turning over the sobbing Seulgi to look at her face more clearly. Seulgi rubbed her eyes to take a look at the owner of the voice. Seulgi couldn't deny how beautiful this girl looked. Her skin was near flawless, her hair was in a ponytail drawing more attention to her face. She wore a barista outfit, making Seulgi assume she worked close by. The mysterious girl inching closer and closer only made Seulgi's heart jump to her throat. "Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine," The baby bear muttered, getting up quickly to prevent the girl from getting any closer. "Sorry." She quickly fixed her hair then started to walk back towards her house. Wait, Seulgi thought to herself, stopping in her tracks. Because of her running aimlessly through the streets, she couldn't figure out where her home was. I'm really screwed right now.

"You look lost, are you new around here?" The other girl, Seulgi assumed her name was Joy, asked. Joy's hair glistened despite it being night time. She also wore the same barista outfit as the other girl.

"No, I live here," Seulgi deadpanned, avoiding the glances of the girls. "I'm just new to these parts."

"Well, we can show you around," the mysterious girl chirped, patting the baby bear's shoulder. "I'll treat you to some coffee. My name is Irene." Irene smiled, gesturing towards the cafe across the street. Irene, Seulgi smiled to herself. What a kind name.

Irene and Joy lead Seulgi across the street as if they were parents helping their child with their first steps. the trio stopped in front of a small cafe called, "Red Velvet". As they enter the quaint shop, a voice can be heard from behind the counter.
