SMILE FOR ME AGAIN

SMILE 12

Seulgi walk Irene home after their small confession session at the park. Seulgi feel much better after she confessed to Irene regarding she stalked her. She feel happy because she is walking besides Irene. Compare to before, she always walk at least one meter behind Irene. She can't believe that she is walking besides her now. She can't help but keep steal a glance at the older and small smile keep appearing on her lips. Even though Seulgi wear a mask, Irene still can see it clearly that the taller is smiling every time their eyes met. Since the taller eyes always change to crescent shape everytime she smile. Seulgi saw how Irene keep holding her front hoodie. Suddenly her face feel hot when she remember Irene's hand so fit with hers. She shook her head to left and right to calm her heart. Irene saw it and ask "Are you okay? Do you feel dizzy?", she sound so concern.

Seulgi wave her hand mid air. "No. I'm fine. Don't worry", she replied.

After awhile, they arrived at Irene's house. 

"So, here we are", Seulgi turned to Irene and said. 

Irene nod. 

Neither of them say anything for seconds and Irene feet glued in front of Seulgi. Eyes on the ground. 

Seulgi clear her throat and say "You should go inside and take a rest. You must be so tired", she softly said.

Irene lift her head to face Seulgi and nod.

"Okay, bye..umm..See you tonight?

Irene shyly nod.

"Oh, before I forget. I still don't have your number. I gave you my number before. I hope you still have it", she scratch her back neck. Seulgi so nervous. She hope Irene get the message that she want her number.

Irene pull out her phone from her jeans pocket and dial Seulgi number in front her. Seulgi's phone vibrated. She pull out it and saw Prank Call ID on her screen.

"Eh? This...", she suprised. It is the same number who leave her a missed call before. She saved it as Prank Call in case she receive call from the same number again. 

Irene hit the hang up button. "It's my number", she said and put back her phone. 

"So it was you", Seulgi raise her brow playfully.

Irene nodded shyly. She know what Seulgi mean. Suddenly she feel guilt for hang up without say anything when Seulgi called her back then.

Seulgi let a small chuckles when she see Irene cute face. She caressed Irene's head gently. 

"You should go now" , she said and gesture Irene to enter her house. 

Irene walked towards her house. Seulgi wait for Irene to enter her house before she leave. Irene turned around before she enter her house. 

"Seulgi, thank you again", she said and she enter her house after she saw Seulgi replied with a nod and eye smile.

They become closer after Seulgi saved her that day. Irene think is time for her to open her heart for Seulgi after she saw how earnestly Seulgi want to be her friend. It feels natural and normal for Irene to have Seulgi walk her to work and after her shift end. Although Seulgi can't always do that because of her busy schedule, she will definitely do that during her free time. There's time Irene tell her to tone down a bit and don't push herself too much by always walk her and protecting her but the younger said she feel happy by just doing that and at least they have some time together since both of them are busy with their work. So Irene just let Seulgi do it.

"Irene-ah", Seulgi broke the silence when she walk Irene to her work and look at the shorter.

Irene looked up to Seulgi face besides her and hummed.
