Chapter 15

Moonbyul

This is all Yonghee's fault. I would have been in my bed right now, watching movies, writing lyrics, eating delicious meals, and not in this nerve wrecking situation I got myself into.

This is Yonghee's idea, why do I have to do this!

Irene is sitting infront of me looking like a whole goddess while telling the order to the waiter in charge. She keeps glancing at the menu back and forth while dictating her picked orders. She would unconsciously bite her lip while doing so and I swear to God it made me swallow the lump in my throat that is slowly forming every time she licked her lips.

How can she be so perfect just by doing nothing? 

"Is everything okay? You look tensed." Irene commented.

I shook my head and opened the two top buttons of my outfit as I cleared my throat at the process.

Why does it feel so hot all of a sudden?
-----

Little did moonbyul know, Irene is silently watching her as she slowly moved her hand while unbuttoning her sleeves and Irene wondered what it feels like to be touched by her. Irene took a lot of courage to look away from the sight infront of her. It's giving her unusual thoughts in mind.

"I- nothing. I'm just.. nervous." Moonbyul spoke.

And she is really nervous. It's her first time taking someone out for a date and not just for a normal dinner. It's also the first time that the one she's taking out is not one of her members, not Yongsun.

Yongsun. I wonder what she's doing. Moonbyul thought.

She internally cursed herself for thinking of yongsun in this kind of situation. She's on a date (that's what she thinks it is) with Irene but her mind is still occupied with someone who dumped and rejected her feelings. It's been quite a while since they talked but the scene is still fresh in her mind. 

"I know something's bothering you, or I guess someone?" Irene said that made moonbyul sat straight.

She didn't expect Irene to notice her discomfort, and she just wants to kill herself for that.

Irene raised her eyebrows out of amusement. She was just teasing the younger girl but it turns out someone was bothering her with the way she made an expression. Irene knows she isn't the one who's in moonbyul's mind and that made her heart clench a little.

"Spill the tea byulie. Who's bothering you?" Irene pursued to guess.

Moonbyul on the other hand is sweating so hard with the way Irene questioned her. The room is fully air-conditioned but the heat she's feeling is not normal.

She doesn't know if the girl is mad, disappointed, or just interested to know.

"What are you talking about? No one's bothering me, you're delusional Joohyun-ssi" Moonbyul said as she prayed Irene will no longer ask her about it.

Irene crossed her arms as she look at moonbyul in disbelief.

"What happened to the unnie?"

It's not that she's offended by moonbyul not calling her unnie. She's just shocked to hear her name rolled out of moonbyul tongue so smoothly as if her name is made just for moonbyul to say. It gives her an unknown feeling.

"Your name is unique and it's a shame if I won't address you that. Why? Do that concern you, Joohyun-ssi?"

Moonbyul's flirty voice said as she placed her arms at the table while slowly leaning in into Irene.
