Wenrene Seekers

Between Spring And Summer

"Unnie, what's your favorite season?"

Wendy suddenly takes a look at Seulgi and Irene who's talking at her side. They are currently at the hillside near their school where they always hang out. The wind suddenly blew and she could almost smell the beautiful spring season. As usual, Wendy is reading one of her favorite books while lying in the green grass. She takes a glimpse and Irene suddenly smiles while looking at her sketch pad.

"Ahm, when cherry blossoms bloom." Irene answered.

Seulgi pointed. "Ah! When they are in full bloom?"

Irene shook her head. "Not really."

Seulgi's brows furrowed while holding her pen.

"Between spring and summer, isn't it?" Wendy mumbled.

Irene and Seulgi both looked at her when she answered that. It makes her shy because she suddenly speaks.

Wendy remembered when she needed to transfer school to Daegu from Seoul where she came from because of the conflicts with her parents at work. As the usual introvert person as she is, Wendy is a bit nervous because she doesn't know anyone there. Her first school year seems fine but she doesn't make many friends as she expected. But at least they are nice to her.

She is walking her way to school for the closing ceremony when she suddenly looks at the cherry blossoms. The pathway to her school has cherry blossom trees. It is almost summer and the cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully. Wendy stopped walking for a while when she saw Irene, looking at the cherry blossoms, smiling.

Irene is a very popular girl in their school. Her class is next to Wendy. She thinks that Irene is really beautiful even next to the cherry blossoms. Every boy in her class is making a fuzz whenever Irene passes their classroom. She is a bright student. A singer and a dancer. She's also a member of an art club. And there is Wendy, looking at her from afar, secretly admiring her every move. She is not immune by charm that Irene brings.

Wendy thought that it was silly of her. How can a girl like Irene can actually know her existence? Wendy suddenly stepped back when Irene looked at her. She was caught off guard. She immediately looked away, refraining herself from embarrassment.

Wendy! Irene just caught you staring at her!

Wendy stumbled when she already heard the school bell. She also saw Irene almost jump from being startled. She ran as fast as she could.

Really Wendy? Even on the last day of the school year, you're late?!

Wendy almost trips when she notices that Irene is just beside her, running with the same speed as her. They are not the only ones who are late, she can also see other students running, preventing themselves from being late, too. Irene and Wendy are both panting, with their hands on their knees, inhaling all the oxygen they can breathe.

"We're almost late, aren't we?"

Still panting, Wendy looks at Irene who's smiling between her panting. Her heart is beating so fast that she doesn't know if it is because of running or because of the girl she admired for the longest time.

"Y-yeah."

Is this for real? Irene is talking to me!

Wendy brushes her hair up, fixing her bangs that almost meet her eyes. She can feel the sweat that is produced at her back and her nape from running earlier.

Irene is about to speak again when Seulgi suddenly calls her.

"Unnie! Why are you late? Let's go to our seats."
