Flashback

Oh boy Irene was screwed.. She was literally running from her home to the place she was supposed to be at 10 minutes ago.

..

..

Today was her college interview, and her bad luck was that she woke up late.

Irene had dressed up quickly, grabbed her file and car keys. She drove off and 2 minutes later her car stopped - no fuel.. Well fuck.

She cursed and decided to run. She took a shortcut through the park.

She suddenly lost focus and all of sudden felt a strong hand grip her.

She screamed and looked at what happened.

Oh... She almost ran into the pole.

"Easy there..." The stranger who saved her said.

"I'm sorry and Thankyou" Irene bowed down.

"Watch your surrounding" The stranger chuckled.

"Thank-you I need to go! Thanks again" With that Irene ran off.

The stranger smiled and picked up the pen from the floor.. It was purple and had bunny sticker on it with 329 written on it.

"You forgot your pen..." She whispered and smiled softly.

..

..

PRESENT.

"She didn't see my face back then.. I was wearing a mask and a cap" Wendy looked at her best friend with concern.

"And.. I think I might have a chance to date her"

"Why is that?"

"She's bisexual, and she said she would love it if her secret admirer is a girl". Seulgi grinned.

"I just don't want you to get hurt Seulgi" Seulgi frowned.

"You think she won't like someone like me huh?"

"I never said that Seu-"

"It's fine, I understand tho. I mean, I'm dorky and unpopular" Seulgi just shrugged.

"Seulgi.."

"Seungwan-Ahh" Seulgi hugged Wendy from the side and pouted.

"Let's go eat Seungwan-Ahh" Wendy laughed.

"Let's go, you bear"

Another week passed and it was their project submission day. To say Seulgi was sad. After all she wouldn't get time to spend with Irene.

"Should we read each other's notes before submitting? Kinda curious as to what you wrote about me" Irene gave her notes to Seulgi.

"Okay" Seulgi began reading what Irene wrote about her. She smiled, it was everyyhing Seulgi told her about herself and nothing much. It kinda hurt Seulgi knowing Irene didn't learn anything new about her after 5 months.

Meanwhile Irene was engrossed in reading what Seulgi wrote about her.

Bae Irene, born 29 March 1998
her favourite colour is purple.
She likes bunnies and she kinda looks like one.

She amazingly talented, she can sing beautifully. She would always hum to some tunes while we were working on our project.

After observation I think her favourite singer is Taeyeon and favourite group Red velvet. I must say great taste.

I think she loves fabric softeners? Funny.

She like someone who's playful with words, someone poetic and artistic.

Gets grumpy easily and loves tteokbokki.

She hates chicken, apparently she gets stomach sick after eating chicken. But yes, she loves beef.

She's pretty, popular and amazing.

Getting to work with her on this project was an honour. I thought I wouldn't get a partner since I don't have much friends but she accepted me.

I'm happy, thanks to her...

Irene looked up and saw Seulgi who was nervously fiddling with her fingers.

"Wow..".

"Uh- it's nothing.. Lets go submit our projects okay?"

"Seulgi..." Seulgi quickly put the sheets inside a folder and went towards the desk and submitted their project.

"Done" Seulgi smiled.

Irene just stared at her. "You did the project so well Seulgi... So much information.. I could never do that.."

"It's fine, don't worry"

"Thanks Seulgi.. It was nice working with you on this project".

Seulgi smiled. Her smile faltered as she watched Irene say bye and walk away.

..

..

I feel like I lost you..

On the brighter side, you look beautiful in that big purple hoodie.

Joohyun? I think it's a beautiful name. Beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you.

Irene put the three notes in her bag when she saw her friends approaching her.

"Let's go Rene?"

"Yeah.." Somehow Irene was not happy with the notes today.
