HERSHE - SEULRENE

SR - Anniversary

Seulgi glanced back at the ladies' room entrance to check if the smaller woman is still there. She remembered the woman from yesterday, one of the girls Eric introduced to her, but couldn't remember her name.

"Seulgi..."

She turned around and saw the other girl the small one was with yesterday. "Oh. Hey."

"Do you still remember me?"

Seulgi squinted her eyes. "Mmm, Krystal, right?"

It made the woman clap her hands in joy. "I'm glad you remember!"

"Of course. So, this is where you're at?"

"Yes. We're at the center of this floor. Irene is sitting across mine." Krystal pointed at the table behind her.

Seulgi shifted her eyes to where Krystal is pointing at and saw a table with lots of stuffed toys. The biggest of them is a bunny.

"You remember her, right? She's the girl who's with me yesterday," asked Krystal.

"Yeah, I remember. I can tell she likes stuffed toys, eh?"

"She's a kid at heart," Krystal whispers, "but sometimes a monster."

Seulgi chuckled. "That's cute, though. So, she's fond of bunnies?"

"Yeah. She loves them so much. How about you, what are the things you're fond of?"

"Mmm. I love taking pictures, designing, drawing... anything artsy..."

"Pictures? Like portraits?"

Seulgi rested both her arms on Krystal's terminal. "Yeah. It's a hobby since I was in high school. Guess I've developed a skill out of it."

Krystal stood up from her chair so they could talk closer. "That's interesting. What are your subjects then?"

"Anything interesting; nature, landscapes, animals; but I'm more focused on humans."

Krystal's face lit up. "Wow. That's cool. If I may ask, why humans?"

"I just find contentment from looking at a human shot, a smiling human to be exact. I love smiles."

Krystal nodded. "Do you think I can be one of your models?"

"Yeah, you sure to be not the camera-shy type."

Krystal giggled. "I'm not. Do you usually prefer taking pictures outdoors or indoors?"

"I do both. I sometimes travel to take outdoor pictures. As for indoors, I don't have a studio yet so I usually do it in my place."

Krystal's mouth formed an 'o' shape. "You live alone?"

"Mmm-mmm."

"Where do you live then?"

Seulgi held off answering after getting a glimpse of Irene from her peripheral vision. She was expecting a little welcome from this person. To her surprise, Irene just walked past them and went straight to her terminal without even saying hi.

Getting a bit disappointed, Seulgi turned back to Krystal and played it cool. "Just around the corner."

"Oh. I bet you've already brought a lot of girls in your apartment," Krystal teased.

"Huh? No. No. I'm not that type of person." Seulgi chuckled as she shakes her head. She instinctively looked at Irene and noticed that the latter's head is slightly tilted to Krystal's direction.

"I hate to say this, but with that looks of yours, I don't believe you, Seulgi," said Krystal.

"Haha! I'm not like that. I do things professionally."
