Lifetime [Seulrene]

Chapter 2 - Baby Blue

•°•°•°Seulgi's POV

I woke up with a monstrous headache. I drank too much last night, desperately trying to forget about the pretty brunette.

But I actually didn't. I remembered her even more because of my drunken state last night. The only thing I remember I did last was getting in Jackson's car, him taking me home, and as soon as I went to my room and laid on my bed, I was off into deep slumber.

Which explains why I had the same clothes I had last night.

I groaned as I got up. Every step made my headache get worse. I was never going to drink that much ever again. I'm a teacher, I'm not supposed to drink anyways.

I go to the bathroom and freshen myself up. The cold water hit my face as I look at the mirror and see my pale lips, my cheeks with a tint of red due to being flushed because of the alcohol last night.

I immediately take off my clothes and take a shower. The headache was starting to die down, but it was still there, so after I showered I went to the kitchen and took hangover pills and drank a glass of warm water.

I looked around to see if I was going to do anything today, but I had nothing to do. There were no papers to check, and no assignments to mark.

I decided to just look around the boxes I had kept in the top of my closet. I was missing Seoul these past days, so why not look at the things that I brought from there. I opened the things one by one seeing some familiar things that I brought fron Seoul. I saw my mom's small piggy bank that she had packed for me so that I could save up just like how she did.

I saw some of my father's most precious DVD's that he gave to me so that I could just watch them if ever I missed him.

There was my favorite notebook from when I was in high school, where I kept most of my poems.

I really loved writing.

I looked further into the box and there I saw an unfamiliar object that was sticking out from the bottom. It was a baby blue notebook that was wrapped in plastic cover.

A bit dirty and dusty, but I could still see the writing infront of it.

Irene's Journal

What the fuck?

How did this get here?

I immediately grab it and place back the things that I took out of the box neatly. I close it and go to the living room, still holding the notebook. I sit down and start to scan the pages.

Each one having a specific date, that dated years ago. I didn't know Irene had a journal.

I quickly took a peek behind the journal and saw the last words written. I didn't read all of it, but it was safe to say that she had put this in the box last minute before I left, because it had the exact date when I left Seoul. She probably fixed it so that I wouldn't see it right away.

It read:

I know she might not read this, but Seulgi I will miss you. I hope we get in contact soon. I hope you're able to read everything in this journal, so that you would come back soon.

See you soon, bear

Love,
Baechu, your favorite girl

p.s. i just put myself as your favorite girl, because you tell me that I am.

p.p.s. I will definitely miss you a lot.

Was it bad that my heart started beating so fast when I realized that all her thoughts were inside this notebook. I was supposed to discover and read this years ago, but I never opened the box.
