So It's You [COMPLETED]

IX. Chat

IRENE'S POV

I was cleaning out my dresser's drawer. When I pulled my jewelry box an old photo fell on the floor. I picked it up. It was our first photo together. It made me smile. Lisa being the beautiful dork as always. She held me closely for our first selfie. I felt shy at that moment, I couldn't focus on the camera, I was too focused on her face. That day I could never forget how many times I reminded her that she's pretty. But she returned the compliments as well. She didn't want to lose so she kept complimenting me back.

It was just another ordinary weekend hanging out with my friends. It all started with the sns; Joy and Yerim suggested I be part of. I was so killjoy, I didn't have sns so they created one and put all of my information into it. They either wanted me to do hookups or just date from various dating sites. To tell honestly I didn't find anyone interesting. No man could live up to my standards probably at that moment. They were teasing me that I would be an old maid if I didn't do something about it. They even suggested that I should get laid since I was already getting old. I never had a boyfriend. I was just a hopeless romantic but when someone courts me, I just couldn't stand it all. I wasn't very fond of sns, I seldom text. Well, I only call people if there's something important to say.

We were at the cafe when Joy and Yerim were like kids as they cackled. They'd been doing something without my knowledge.

"Unnie, these evil maknaes are up for something," Wendy complained since they did not involve her 'cos they know she's gonna spoil it.

"Wanda, keep your mouth shut!" Yerim yelled. "We will let you know once we are done here."

Joy stretched her phone, the camera in front of me. "Say chiz!!?" She just stole a shot of me, "Good, let me save this as your display photo, unnie." It left me puzzled but ignored the two maknaes.

"Tadaaaaaaa!", Yerim got the phone from Joy and showed it to us, "Now let's follow hottie men here!" She said.

My friends were really hilarious at that moment. Once they had set up that dating account for me. They also followed various people. No one got my attention so far.

"Unnie, please at least try, okay? If you received likes and dms just entertain them. We will never know, we might find you here a boyfriend." Joy explained.

"Yah! Park Sooyoung, don't push Irene unnie, she said she isn't interested."Wendy defended me. She was just like me in all aspects. She believes that true love waits. That a person could wait even if that takes forever.

"Oh well, I got an idea. How about we find Wendy unnie her own hookups? So she won't be this pain in the ass." This clever, Yerim suggested.

I just rolled my eyes. I am thankful enough to have these people who care about my happiness. "Guys, I need to get back to work. Let's hang out again next week, okay?"

"Yeah unnie, thanks for the treat. Same time, the same place." Wendy got up first and took all her books from the table."I should get going also, I can't be late. My lab partner might kill me this time. Bye!" The group's genius and soon-to-be doctor bid her goodbye. She gave me a hug.

Then the dynamic duo also gave their quick hugs and said their goodbyes. "Unnie, please be happy! We love you! Bye." Kim Yerim might be the eviliest but she's the sweetest maknae.

Finally, it's Joy's turn, she wiggled her brows. "Just try, please. This is not for us. It's for you, so the next time we hang out, we will be five here, including your knight in shining armor." She giggled.

Back at my office. The stupid phone didn't ever stop. I don't even know how to turn the notifications off, I've been bombarded with likes and comments on my dp and some dms which I don't even know how to open. Those kids should at least have taught me the basics. I tried my best to familiarize myself with the app. I scrolled down the newsfeed. Nothing's interesting at all.
