Pretend

Meeting

The smell of bacon and butter woke her up, her spot next to her on the bed empty. She stretched and yawned, her hair on her face. She was so lazy she left it there, looking like La Llorona.

Right when she got out of bed, her hair was still covering her face. That's why when Irene opened the door, she met with Seulgi standing next to the bed, arms flat and a head full of hair, literally.

Irene screamed, and immediately Seulgi brushed her hair out of her face fast enough to see Irene running down the hallway.

"Baby, why did you run?! What happened?" Seulgi ran and found Irene on her knees in the living room next to the couch.

"Y-you... you scared the fuck out of me, Seulgi. God," she sighed desperately, her heart was about to explode out of her chest and she really didn't want to die right now.

"Because of my hair? I'm so sorry," Seulgi pulled her up and hugged her, kissing her forehead softly to calm her down. She could feel Irene's harsh heartbeat against her chest. She felt horrible, she should've known Irene was going to be scared by that image.

"I'm sorry. I was just being lazy and didn't move my hair at all."

"You bitch," Irene whispered. "I almost peed my pants."

Seulgi laughed and Irene slapped her shoulder.

"You really want to kill me, huh?" Irene went back to the kitchen, her bacon and eggs still on the frying pan. Good thing they didn't burn.

"Never, I love you too much. I'll brush my teeth and come back." Seulgi kissed her neck from behind and left, leaving Irene blushing by herself.

"Did you get the email?" One of Seulgi's colleagues, Wendy, said to her while they had lunch together.

"Email? From who?" Seulgi said with her mouth full. Wendy looked at her in disgust, but ignored it.

"Director. He said all professors should attend a meeting today at 2. Says it's really important," Wendy said.

All professors? There was no doubt Irene would be there. It was going to be difficult to pretend she didn't know her, but she considered herself a good actress.

Irene on the other hand? To say she was worried was an understatement.

"Hey, what you thinking of?" Wendy asked after Seulgi spaced out.

Seulgi sighed.

Wendy was a close friends of hers, they've been working together for 7 years now. Still, she didn't want the secret to be out. Only herself and Irene should be the ones to know.

"Nothing," Seulgi finally answered. "It's 1:30, we should get our stuff ready."

Wendy said her goodbyes and headed to her office, Seulgi heading to her own.

She closed the door behind her, locked it, and texted Irene.

Love of my life❤️

Baby, did you get the email?

Irene was at her own office when she received the notification. She replied instantly.

Wifey🤠

Yeah, you going?

Seulgi saw the text, replying instantly too (a/n: they're whipped for each other wbk).

Love of my life❤️

I am.

Irene smiled, she was a little bit nervous since she was relatively new to this university. She felt relieved that Seulgi was going.
