9 - VACATION

9 — VACATION : Namhae : Day 1

"Everything in Namhae is so beautiful!"

"Hell yeah!"

"Why so loud, Kim Yerim?"

"German Village, done." Irene murmured. "Next spot, Boriam Temple." she announced, making the youngest whine.

They started arguing with Wendy on their side. Seulgi suddenly looked at Joy who is staring at nowhere. She's sure that Joy didn't felt her presence because she didn't even moved an inch. "Gwaenchana?"

"I'm going to fool myself if I say I am." Seulgi already knew what happened. She looked at Irene.

I am sure I'm in love with this girl.

"Unnie.. it hurts.." her voice almost cracked, a sign that she's in deep pain. "Why does it have to be my sister?"

"Everything happens for a reason—"

"Unnie, do you love Irene-unnie?"

Aish, this kid. Can she just at least finish my words of wisdom?!

Seulgi just smiled. She gave her a sigh and followed the trio who's now heading to her car. "Yah! Answer me!"

She stopped walking as she heard footsteps running towards her. "How dare you leaving me—"

"I'm afraid." she suddenly uttered. "Yes, I do. But I'm afraid."

"Why? You don't have a reason to be—"

"I do."

Joy couldn't speak. She's shocked, confused— she can't explain her feelings. She felt like there's a secret hiding on each other's personality. But she's sure in one thing.

This is not the Seulgi that she met before.

"I have a reason. I'm afraid it might happen again." she gave her a grin. "Gaja. They're waiting for us." she last said before walking away.

Are you hiding something from us, unnie?

"Aren't you going to visit your mom?"

It's 9 pm in the evening. They decided to spend their night at the nearest hotel they found. They booked for 2 rooms and separated into two groups: Seulgi and Wendy will sleep on the other room.

"Why would I?"

"Don't you miss her?" Irene froze. "You'll be born few days after this day."

"I know."

I couldn't feel any excitement, I wonder why., she thought to herself.

"Why don't you change your whole past, too?" she looked at the younger with a what-do-you-mean look.

"I'm afraid to do that."

"Why?"

Irene sighed. "It might affect my existence." she continued brushing her teeth. After doing her night routine, she saw her sister sipping a cup of black coffee. She sat in front of her and sighed. "Spill it."

"Spill what?"

"Everything."

Joy hesitated first but sighed after. "I'm not sure if I should ask this."

"Just ask."

"Is there something going on?"

She remained silent. Joy knew nothing. She didn't bothered to say anything because she's scared of what will happen next. But it's making her feel like she's stealing her rights to know everything.
