Left Alone

Wendy woke up, the sound of her alarm still ringing in her ears, she slammed it quiet and rubbed her eyes. She opened her eyes to see the sun poruing in through her slighlty closed blinds. She saw how the light illuminated the pictures hung on the wall opposite her bedroom. The pictures of ten years ago, of her familt and frineds, She smiled as she saw her younger self smiling along with her other members all laughing, her smile turned sourer when she saw the person who ruined everything staring at her smiling at, almost as if she mocking her.

Wendy sighed in frustration and got out of bed, she got dressed in her work uniform, which consisted of normal t-shirt in some old jeans, with an apron which was covered in messy paint and clay. After she left her old life Wendy descided to use her money to open up a little coffeeshop. As Wendy fixed her hair looking at herself in the mirror she saw her older mature face, she didnt look that different from befroe. However her shorter hair which was now tied up, and a light brown colour, seemed too hide her from many, Obviously there were some hwo recognised her, but they never told anyone about her location.

The only one who knew where wendy was apart from her family, was Joy. She was the only one who supprted wendy in the aftermath of Red Velvets split. The others didnt, but Joy helped Wendy when they didnt. Joy kept in contact with her but they didnt talk as much as they did. Wendy assumed this was becuase of Joy's acting career. Wendy did like to look up her members to see how they are. Seulgi, was modeling and was doing well. Yeri was also doing well, modeling acting and was mostly now famous for being an MC. However the last thing Wendy knew about Irene was on a magazine cover in her local convinace store. She saw her emtionaless face on the front cover, it made her drop her basket of products making everyone around her look at her oddly.

Wendy finally finshed her make up smiling at her reflection, she alomsot forgot, she reached over to her bedside table and got her glasses and put them on. One of the last thing she kept from before, her big round glasses. Which she needed but it was alos helpful at disgising herself. Which she joked made her like Superman. She put her make up away, but froze when she saw her bedroom door open slightly. She smirked at the reflection. She quickly got up silently and snuck behind the door before it opened. When the door fully opened she waited for the intruder to enter before she grabbed them in her arms. The small figure squirmed and attmept to break free of her hold but failed as Wendy moved them to her bed.

"So you try to sneak in hmm?" Wendy asked tickling the small figure. who laughed insteaded of answered.

"i...i.....i just ....haha"

"what was that little one?" Wendy asked stoping her tickling attack.

"I just wanted see if you were awake yet mommy" The little girl asked her brown her messy.

"and what then ?" Wendy asked standing next to her bed

"well........i just needed your help" The girl asked looking away guitly.

"hmmmm..... think i know what you mean" Wendy said smiled standing up and leaving the room. Her smile grew when she heared the little steps behind her.

Wendy entered the kitchen and got a jar of cookies of the top of the cupboard. Wendy smikred when she saw the girls eyes lighting up.

"is this what you want Minjin?" Wendy asked smirking shaking the jar.

"Please..." Minjin asked potuing giving her these adorable eyes. Wendy couldnt resist them,

"urgh..." Wendy groaned and undid the jar offering the girl one cookie. "Just one," she said sternly shaking her messy hair. "Now go get reasy for school." Wendy said moving her to the childs room.

"gmh ..ok" The mumbled still eating the cookie

"and dont talk with your mouth full." Wendy said walking away from the room. She entered the kitchen again and prepared her daughters lunch. Minjin wasnt hers by blood. She adaobtive the 5 year old, five years ago, Joy had suggested it. It was one of the greatest thing she has done, the little girl gave her new purpose in live, and a reason to love again.
