You Never Said Goodbye

Swimming in story waters

Irene POV

‘We’re here!’ Seulgi declare as the door to Wendy’s house opens. ‘Woah, whats with the froggies?’ Seulgi ask as she scan the house from the door. Seriously, there’s froggies on the umbrellas, the slippers, the cups, the lamps. There’s froggies everywhere.

‘Heh, those are Keroros’, you must be Lisa’s friends. My name is Wendy please come in. Lisa, Jennie and Chaeyoung are in the living room.’ Says Wendy as she politely bows.

‘Hi Wendy, I’m Irene and this is Seulgi. Its nice to meet you. Thank you for having us over and sorry for intruding like this.’  I said as Seulgi and I bow.

As Seulgi and I walk in hand in hand the sight before us kinda scares me. Lisa’s looking incredibly relieved and yet she gives me an evil eye that reminds me that she remembers I told Jennie her whereabouts. I feel a slight shiver down my spine.

Lisa can be really really scary when she’s angry. Jennie’s sitting like she’s the ice princess. She’s all reserved, uninterested and cold. Not a good sign at all. Chaeyoung aww, I haven’t seen her in ages she still looks the same, she’s smilling at us, but she looks kinda worried as well. I guess I would be worried too if I left like she did. She didn’t just leave Lisa she left Seulgi and me too. Still I missed her.

‘Lisa, Jen, Chaeng! We’re here!’ exclaims my girlfriend. After being screamed at by her throughout the trip here you’d think she’d still be upset but I guess not. She’s just upset with me for telling Jennie. But seriously, what was I supposed to do? Leave the girl hanging like that when I kinda lead her into this mess? I’m sure Seulgi will forgive me though. She loves me.

After a round of hugs and greetings we all sit ourselves around the living room. I’m obviously sitting next to Jennie cause she grabbed my hand and pulled me over to her side. ‘hey, why are you all watching construction documentaries on tv? Are those interesting? I never knew any of you were interested in construction.’ I ask.

Suddenly tension seeps in the midst of us. Did I say something wrong?!? This feels like its gonna be a long day.

‘Lisa seems to think its funny.’ Replies Jennie.

I look at Lisa, she’s blushing and she seems to have shrunk a little in size. ‘Ouch!’ I feel someone smack my thigh. I turn to look for the culprit and I see Seulgi giving me a “what in the world are you doing you better fix it right now” look.

‘Ha ha.. but it is funny! Isn’t it Seulgi?’ I look to Seulgi and she nods her head vigorously. ‘What time is it? Oh! It’s 1130, just in time for lunch. I say we go get some food. What do you all think?’ I ask.

‘Fine lets go eat. It’s better than just sitting around watching construction documentaries or staring at each other.’ Answers Jennie as she gets up. ‘let’s go Lili.’ she offers her hand to Lisa and for a second everyone just watches. Would she take Jennie’s hand or would she not?

When Lisa takes Jennie’s hand, I heave a sigh of relief. As messed up as it is I don’t want Jennie to get really upset and blow her top. Its after effects could be disastrous for everyone.

As we all leave I turn around and I see Chaeyoung walking behind looking lost and just a little bit broken.

‘Seulgi go talk to Lisa and Jennie alright. I’ll talk to Chaeyoung for a bit.’ I suggest as I pat her hand.

‘Alright Bae, go do you best. Hwaitng!’ she replies. Ah! My Seulgi is so cute.

‘Wendy-ah, are you joining us?’ I ask as I walked back towards Chaeyoung.

‘Its ok Irene-ah. I have to leave to give guitar lessons soon. You all go ahead may be I’ll join you all later. Or you could come by the bar later for dinner or something. My boyfriend and his band will be playing tonight.’
