Previously in V.........
"No! I can't let you have Joohyun!" He pulled Irene away from Seulgi, making Seulgi remember what happened in the past.
She immediately punched Bogum in the face, causing him to fall, before kicking him in the stomach.
"Are you trying to take her away from me like what you did three years ago?! It won't happen again." Seulgi exclaimed before grabbing Irene and went into Irene's house.

Irene's PoV
'What did Bogum do to her three years ago that made someone cold like her cry?' I thought to myself.
Seulgi had tried to hide her tears but I was able to see her cry through the window when she left my house.
"I hope she'll get better soon." I sighed and said to myself.
"Who is she?" A voice asked.
"Oh, Eomma! You scared me!" I exclaimed. I get surprised easily.
"Well...she's a friend." I replied. 'Wait. Am i even a friend to her?' I thought to myself.
"Oh, that's great! You made a new friend!" Eomma said happily.
"Where's Tiffany eomma?" I asked as i didn't see her around.
Yes, i have two mums. When i was very young, my parents always fought and they divorced when i was 5. Eomma brought me with her and left our old house in Busan.
We moved to Ansan, Gyeonggi Province and that's where Eomma met Tiffany eomma.
They fell in love but Tiffany eomma was married. Tiffany eomma decided to divorce with her husband but when her husband found out that she was cheating on him, he almost killed her.
We were shocked when Tiffany eomma came to our house in the middle of the night, her head bleeding and whole body drenched with water. The following morning, we decided to move to Seoul.
"She went out to buy some stuff." Eomma replied.
[Sound of door opening]
"Tiffany eomma , you're back." I greeted her when i saw her entering.
However, she didn't reply me and started locking the doors and windows in a rush.
"What's wrong?" Eomma asked her.
"I saw him! He's here!" Tiffany eomma said frantically.
"Did he see you?" Eomma asked her.
Tiffany eomma shook her head.
'Who's he?' I thought to myself.
Eomma went towards Tiffany eomma and hugged her tightly. "It's alright, fany-ah. He doesn't know that you're still alive . You're safe, fany-ah." Eomma assured her.
Tiffany eomma tightened their hug. "I'm scared. What if, he wants to kill me again?"
"Trust me. I won't let that happen again. I will protect you." Eomma told her.
'Could he be......Tiffany eomma's ex-husband?'

Next morning in school......
I sat at my place and took out the bracelet from my bag. Seulgi had left my house so suddenly yesterday so i couldn't return it to her.
"Hey Jen, do you know why Seulgi isn't here today?" I whispered to Jennie as i didn't see Seulgi when class had started.
Jennie shook her head and turned back to the front.
'Maybe she's just late for school.' I thought to myself.
A few hours later......
'Maybe she skipped school? Or maybe she's sick? Or maybe she's kidnapped?! Wait, what? That's ridiculous, why would she be kidnapped? Maybe she just overslept, or-'
"IRENE!"
I jumped up in shock.
"Sorry, i didn't mean to shout at you. I called you a lot of times but you didn't hear me."
"Oh, what is it?" I asked Jennie.
"It's break time. Let's go." Jennie said to me before hooking her arm around mine.
"What were you thinking about just now?" Jennie asked as we walked to the canteen.
"Uhh...nothing." I shook my head.
She looked at me suspiciously. "Are you thinking about Seulgi?" She said teasingly.
"No! Why would i think of her? No..." I denied.
She grinned before saying, "You're overreacting. It's okay, Seulgi has a lot of admirers, both boys and girls."
I felt a little...jealous(?) at the thought of others staring at Seulgi.
"Yah, you're frowning."
Jennie leaned towards me and whispered, "Do you perhaps...like her?"
"What?! No! I just met her yesterday, i'm not even close to her, why would i like her?" I replied and Jennie shrugged her shoulders.
'Seriously...why does she have this kind of effect on me? Do i really-no, no' I shook my head.
"Well, i bet you'll fall for her when you see her dance."
"She dances?"
"Yeah. She dances really well, like really well. Actually, i had just a teeny weeny bit of crush on her when i first saw her."
"Crush on who?" A voice asked.
"Oh, hey Jisoo!" I greeted her.
"Crush on you! Right, Irene?" Jennie said and gave me a huge grin, signalling me to help her.
"Yeah, her is you." I replied.
Jisoo eyed us suspiciously but then let it go.

I stared out of the window repeatedly. 'Is she really not coming today? Is she alright? Wait. Why am i thinking of her?' I shook my head.
"Hey, you've been spacing out. You alright?" Jennie asked concernedly.
"H-huh, i did? I'm fine."
She squinted her eyes before grinning. "I know, i know. I'll keep it a secret." Jennie whispered.
I slapped her arm. "Yah! I told you i don't like her!" I whisper-shouted to her.
Hearing what i said, she giggled silently.
"I didn't say that. You're the one who thinks so."
"That's it. I'm ignoring you. Bye." I looked down at my textbook as i felt my face heating up.
