In Denial |Seulrene|

Happy Birthday :( pt.2

Seulgi's POV
Really? Is that really Wendy?
How could she!? How could she do that to her best friend?

When she killed my parents, I was left asking the same thing.*smirk*
Would you look at that?
History just keeps repeating itself.

Dad suddenly spoke up:
Are you sure you want to drive, Seulgi-yah?

He really reminds me of Irene tho.
I wonder if she will show such concern to me after her birthday?

Seulgi?
He asked again.

Oh! I'm sorry, dad. I was just thinking.
I finally let out.

Then he just smiled at me. A smile like hers –sweet smile that could melt all the troubles away.

Cha! Let's switch our seats, okay?
I'll drive this time.
He then patted my head:
It's a long drive and you should rest your mind.
Just then, he smiled again and got out of the car to switch.

Now, I get it why my Baechu is like that.

-

Joyri are already asleep and I've tried but I just can't sleep.
So, I looked at the view outside the window.
And at that moment, I got it why she's always been looking at the window when we drive.

What if she really gets hurt?
Of course, she will, stupid!

What if she forgot about the promise?
Goodness! I can't afford to lose her.
But that's the only way to keep her alive.

What if...ah! Jinja! I don't know anymore!
Screw this shit I got everyone into!

Seulgi? I know you're thinking about what may happen but let's at least stick to the plan...okay, son?

I'm sorry that it had to be this way, Sir.
I'm sorry that Irene had to get hurt and I'm sorry because I couldn't do anything about it but to apologize.

What are you saying, son? Didn't I tell you to call me "dad"!?
And yes, he's kinda terrifying like her when they don't get what they want.

Ye-yes, dad.

Plus, you don't have to blame everything on you, Seulgi.
Listen, it's not always your responsibility to keep everyone safe.
It's not your fault if you couldn't protect everyone.

I think I'm gonna cry. But no! You have to be strong in front of your future dad-in-law. (if the engagement will still run smoothly)

He continued:
You're just a human, Seulgi...a bear as Joohyun likes to call you. And it's okay if you make mistakes and be sorry for them.

Thank you, Sir–I mean, thanks so much, dad. You made me feel better.

Then, he pulled over just to give me a hug:
Joohyun is right. You really are a protective bear and at the same time, a precious one.

-

Come what may...I'm ready!

*ding dong X18*

Irene was about to shout as she opened the door but:

Dad! You're here!
She hugged her dad so tight and I could tell...Mr. Bae's having a hard time breathing.

Joohyun.Sweetie.I.Can't.Breathe.
Dad tried to say as he hugged Baechu back.

Oh, sorry, dad. *chuckles*
Just then, she let go of him.

And I have a present for you, sweetie!

What is it, dad?
Oh, that aegyo voice of hers is so sweet!
