HERSHE - SEULRENE

SR - Moments

"Are you done yet?" asked Irene while she grooms herself in front of the mirror.

"Two more minutes, okay?" said Seulgi from the bathroom.

"Ugh! You're so slow."

The bathroom door creaked open. Seulgi stepped out. "Slow? You're the one who woke me up late, like five minutes ago, asking me to get ready right away."

"Well, I never knew that it would take me a lot of effort to wake you up, honey."

Seulgi approached her. "Are you done yourself?"

"Yes, I'm ready. Hey, what's that!" Irene was surprised to see Seulgi's face still drenched in water, having an I-just-woke-up hairdo.

"What? I washed my face."

"And you're going out like that?" Irene grabbed a towel to dry Seulgi's face. "Tsk. You're such a kid, Kang."

"Mmm... I wasn't planning going out like this, f-y-i," said Seulgi, her voice muffled against the towel.

"Whatever." Irene dropped the towel and stared at Seulgi's hair. "What are you gonna do with that?"

"This?" Seulgi brushed her fingers through her hair while peeking in the mirror. "Let's just leave it like this."

"Tsk. No!" Irene cupped Seulgi's shoulder and turned the latter to face her. "It's better this way." She fixed Seulgi's hair.

"Now how do I look, honey?" asked Seulgi, her thumb, and forefinger against her chin.

Irene couldn't help but admire her hair art. Seulgi has changed into a new pair of a button-down shirt and baggy pants for dinner. The funny thing about it is the simpler she looked the more her charm shows up.

"You're okay."

Seulgi pursed her lips. "Just okay?"

"Yeah. What were you expecting me to say?"

"Anything but okay, you know."

"Ahm. Okay. Then what adjective would you like me to use?"

"I don't know. Maybe striking would do." Seulgi beamed, causing Irene to roll her eyes. "Or maybe attractive, gorgeous, stylish, or dazzling."

Irene cocked her head to one side. "I didn't know you were conceited, honey."

"Why, thank you, honey." Seulgi bowed. Suddenly, the door buzzed. "I guess that's our call."

Irene went to get her sling bag while Seulgi opens the door.

"Hi, bear!"

"Hey, chick! Looking pretty tonight, huh? Where's Sungjae?"

"He's almost done retouching his makeup," said Joy. Seulgi laughed. "Well, you look charming yourself. That shirt looks perfect on you."

"Charming your face," Irene muttered when she finally found her cell phone on the couch.

"Yeah? You're the one who gave this shirt, remember?" asked Seulgi.

"I know. I know. See? I always choose what's best for you."

Irene made a face before approaching and looping her arm through Seulgi's. "Honey, I'm ready."

Seulgi turned to her and touched the tip of her nose. "Hey there, beautiful." She went back to Joy. "Okay. Shall we?"

"Wait. Let's fix this first." Joy stopped them to fix Seulgi's collar. Seulgi stayed still.

Irene rolled her eyes.
