chapter two

awkward silence suddenly fills the room.

"sex". Irene said while she puts both of her hand at her back.

"ah, sex" Jennie reacted absentmindedly.

All of them froze at the remark Irene gave, and all their heads turn towards Irene.

"eh?" they said in unison.

Irene just stares at them innocently. "Sex" as she repeats again.

"sorry, I seem to be having a little difficulty hearing you properly, could you say that one more time". Wendy was the one who breaks the silence as she walks closer to Irene, tilting her head as she touches her ears leaning closer to Irene.

"Sex". She immediately responds, and this time she made loud and clear for everyone.

That makes everybody in the room froze on their tracks, Lisa who was the one holding the book drop it unknowingly.

"Sex, it's a completely unknown territory, there are so many famous writers who write about this field too, so dying without knowing the least bit about it seems..." she said she crouch down to pick the book lying on the floor.

"Y-You! haven't I kept telling you that there's a difference between literature and pornography?! Wendy said hysterically as she points her hand towards Irene.

"Eros is just a concept, it's not something that's..."

"Yes, What I'm seeking is not just a concept but the thrusting kind." Irene interrupted Wendy and finally standing up and handing the book to Wendy.

"Thrusti..." Wend;y said, not able to finish her words as her knees felt weak at the sudden emotions.

"The things, I want to do before I die." Irene walks towards the table where her lunch was and picking it up.

Jennie was just standing there looking intently to Irene.

"I've been wanting to give some careful thought to it". She walks towards the door and reach for the knob and stop.

"Because it seems like, I'm going to die very soon." She added emotionless.

"What do you mean?" Seulgi was surprise by the sudden words of Irene.

And Irene finally open the door stepping outside the clubroom.

"Well then, please excuse me." She bid farewell and closes the door.

Jennie suddenly came outside to chase Irene.

"Irene!" she shouted as she tries to run to catch up to Irene.

Irene stops and faces Jennie

"What do you mean earlier, about dying. Don't tell me, its... an incurable disease or something". Jennie said worriedly.

Irene looks at jennie and she let of a sigh.

"Jennie do you have a concept of time?" Irene suddenly asks.

"eh?"

"let's just think about the things we want to do or experience. Because we don't know what might tomorrow brings to our lives," she said.

"Yes, I sort of got it.." jennie nods her head.

Irene flash her smile to jennie and turns. "Then, see you.".

Jennies just stood there watching Irene's back as she walks away.

"See you after school". Jennie whispers
