Chance
Wendy looks surpised as Irene sits down beside her.
Irene gives her a unsure smile and laces her hands with the others. "There's a few things I need to warn you about, but lets take that after classes" Irene's voice is soft and low.
"Lake?" Wendy asks. Irene nods her head.
"If the warnings aren't enough to have you running away, I accept" Irene says. Wendy furrows her eyebrows. "I accept your confession Irene fills in.
"Oh, that. I thought you would forget about that" Wendy sheepishly scratches her chin.
"I don't forget stuff" Irene deadpans.
"Mmh, I can tell" Wendy gives Irene a reassuring smile and gentle squeeze of her hand. "Thank you, for not forgetting" she says and it snaps Irene far away from the demons that lurk in her mind.
Wendy is different. She must be.
The classes go quicker than she wants them to. Eventough she'd usually fly out of classes with a little skip in her step. Today all she feels is dread.
It must be obvious because both Yerin and Wendy are exchaning looks like shes grown a third eye in her forehead.
The school day is finally over and Irene can't wait to get this all over with. "Irene, don't force anything, i can wait. I promise" bit irene just shakes her head.
"If I dont get it off my chest today, I might actually ens up dying" Irene says. Followed by a few close fisted hits to her ribcage.
"Since when did you turn this dramatic?" Wendy protests but they're already by the lake. And Irene has her by the shoulders so they're standing face to face.
"Listen, it's nothing personal. And I'll try ti say this in the kindest way I can-"
Wendy furrows her eyebrows, already preparing for whatever horrible thing Irene will way about her face, or hair... or god her teeth.
"-I'm not sexually attracted to you, but I'll give the romantic part a shot. I mean the part where we maybe kiss and hold hands and feel good in our hearts and stuff"
Wendy smiles, sighs in relief and giggles at how serious Irene looks.
"What? Im being serious!"
"Oh, i can tell" Wendy's smile widens.
"I don't mind, I mean I am a bit of a germaphobe myself. Not that I'm accusing you of having unusal germs down there or anything" Wendy says.
"Well, oh..okay?" Irene scratches her chin.
"So no sex is okay with you?" She asks just to make sure.
"Yeah, of course. -So can i call you my girlfriend yet or do you want me to get down on one knee-"
"Oh shut up, you twat"
"I'll take that as a yes" wendy declares. Irene grabs her hand and gives ot a firm squeese.
"Thank you, Seungwan"
