Remnants of You

Remnants 02

Seulgi park their car on a corner. She turned off the engine and get the keys. They are currently at the basement, where Wendy's birthday party is upstairs.

Irene still didn't say a word after their fight. Seulgi already wanted to say sorry but Irene still giving her the silent treatment and distance.

"Honey, here's the key." Seulgi took the key as an excuse to talk to her wife.

But Irene continued ignoring her. "Did you bring your bag, Seulhyun?" Irene talked to their daughter instead.

Seulgi take that as a sign that her wife is still mad at her and still doesn't want to talk to her. That left her no choice but to wait until her wife is ready to speak to her again.

"Yes." Her daughter answered lowly. Seulgi was going to take off Irene's seatbelt but Irene was faster to do it. Her wife opened the door and immediately jumped off of their car. She opened the back seat door and forcely carried Seulhyun with her then they both went inside the building. Seulgi slightly jumps when Irene closed the door loudly. Irene just left her alone in the car.

A tear suddenly fell from her eyes. She suddenly remembered, almost the same situation happened before. Irene runaway from their home once, without her knowledge, because they had a fight. She remembered the feeling. She was so scared that day. She did her best to find her wife and her daughter everywhere, and to win her back.

She brushed off her tears away using the back of her hands. This is not the perfect time to cry. She told herself.

Seulgi takes one glass of wine from the waiter's tray after the long hours of entertaining people, and drink it all in shot one. She thought this celebration would gave her a break in talking but she was wrong. The moment she step her foot on the venue, the crown immediately talked to her. She leaned her back against the wall.

"Did you guys had a fight?" A familiar voice approached her. She turned around just to see the birthday girl.

"How did you know?" Seulgi asked.

"Well, it's written all over your faces." Wendy chuckled. But shut her mouth immediately when she saw the sadness in Seulgi's face. "What exactly happened?"

Though Wendy is originally Irene's college best friend, she became Seulgi's best buddy in a short period of time too. They have a lot of similarities. They are in the same age. They loves singing. They love talking about dramas, shoes, sometimes business which Seulgi likes the most, and lastly girls.

They both leaned their shoulders against the wall, facing each other. Seulgi glanced at her wife, who is busy talking to her college friends, quite far away from where they are standing.

"We had a fight, just as you guess it." Seulgi was playing her glass. "She wanted me to clear all of my schedules next week."

"That is not that bad. What did you do?" Wendy whispered. She wanted this conversation to be just between them. It is their privacy in the end.

"I did what she told me."

"But?" Wendy already knows what's going to happen. Seulgi is the first one to share their problems to Wendy whenever the lovers had a fight. And the way Seulgi spoke to her today, she knows there is something wrong. So, she better ask in advance.

Seulgi looks at her with defeated expression. "Actually, she got a job as a fashion designer in New York. Wendy, it's fashion designing. It's her dream job." She emphasized the words dream job. "I immediately gave up when I heard it's fashion designing. I know how much she loves fashion. You should be the one who knows it best because you were classmates back in college, but I also know how much she loves the job. Her dream job was to become a fashion designer one day, Wen. But she didn't get the chance because she got pregnant after our honeymoon. She have to watch our child than to work. So, she sacrifice her dream for me, for the sake of our family." Seulgi continued while Wendy was listening to her attentively. "And now that the opportunity is already in front of her, in her hands, she doesn't want to lose it obviously. Plus, it's the company of her dreams. But to grant all of her wishes, I have to clean my schedules for a year to look after our child."
