Keep your head up

-Chapter 1-

Irene's POV

I sigh as I read another article of me, but of course haters will have there way of getting to me. "Just what did I do to deserve this?" I mumble to myself, the judgment towards me wasn't gonna change. And I knew that, but how could I possibly live with it? Don't those people know I'm human too?

I put my phone down and lay down feeling my energy suddenly drained from just pretending to be fine in front of everyone. God where is Seulgi, I need my cuddles. I think to myself and feel even more lonely than before without that dumb bear, my bear.

I get up from my bed and head towards her room. I see her door was slightly open so I knock and peek my head inside when I hear no response. "Seulgi?" I call out to her softly and enter her room, but see no one. "Well that's weird." I mutter and look around her room to see many pictures of us on her wall making me smile. We've made so many memories and we still have many more to make.

A box on her bed captures my attention and I walk towards it. It's for me? I hold it in my heads and it's kinda heavy. The only thing going through my head at the moment was, do I open it? "So are you gonna stand there? Or are you gonna open it?" I immediately jump from where I was standing letting out a little scream.

I hear her laughing enjoying this a little to much. I turn to see Seulgi leaning against the door with a smile waiting for my response. "Well I wasn't just gonna open it without you." I say pouting as I set the box down and open my arms for her to hug me. "Aigoo my baby is so cute." She says wrapping her arms around my waist and pulling me close. I sigh knowing this was my safe place.

"Well now that I'm here why don't you open it?" She says pulling back from the hug and giving me a quick kiss on the lips. I whine wanting more, but she doesn't budge and waits for me to open this stupid box. I sigh and open it carefully and I felt my heart melt at the sight. It had all my favorite snacks and chips with a cute teddy bear which made me giggle. But I caught sight of the letter in the middle of it all.

"A letter?" I mumble as I look at her with confusion as she smiles and nods her head. "Go on read it." She encourages me and I pull it out. I open it carefully and see a beautiful necklace with the letter J & S intertwined. "I wanted you to remember that even though people view you as Irene, a "cold hearted person" you'll always be my Joohyun. Because that's who you really are." She says calmly and I felt my tears slowly make their way down my face and she hugs me tightly.

"Do you want me to read the letter for you?" She whispers and I nod my head as I hold the necklace tightly. She kisses the top of my head before opening the letter.

" Dear Joohyun, my Joohyun,

I've seen the way the world judge you for someone you are stage even though they don't have the slightest clue as to who you really are. Behind closed doors you're someone wonderful and caring, but some people forget to think for a moment about how there's a different person to you. And now I'm here to tell you to ignore their judgement because they don't know you like I do. Their perspective of you is complete bullshit and we know that, but I understand that things like this might get difficult for you to ignore so don't ignore it and push through this. You have many people by yourself side and you know I'll always be standing next to you. So no matter what anyone says about you isn't true because you know yourself better than anyone else. And when things get difficult for you just remember, keep your head up.

Sincerely, your dumb bear <3
P.S (I really love you.)

She puts the letter down to face me as I bawl my eyes out feeling so many emotions. "W-Why Seugli why d-do they hate?" I cry against her shoulder as she rubs my back trying to calm me down. "I don't know baby but they just like being assholes. You don't deserve none of this." She whispers leaving kissing on my forehead as I try to recollect myself.

We stay silent as we continue to hug each other, but she hasn't stop whispering sweet things to me. "Are you okay now?" She whispers looking at me with nothing but love which warms my heart. Seulgi was right, the world will never know me for who I am, but Seulgi does and that's all I need. "I am now thank you Seulgi." I whisper hiding my face in her neck.

"Good because today my Joohyun and I are gonna cuddle and watch all her favorite movies that people don't know about." She reaches down to kiss me gently and in that moment I forgot about everything else. She pulls away and smiles at me as I hug her tighter. Even though I have those who hate me, I'll push through this and as my dumb bear said before, keep your head up
