When It's Time. | SEULRENE

Seulgi's POV

"Seungwanah, just tell me." I nudge her and ask in a whisper.

"Are you sure you don't remember?" She whispered back.

"I wouldn't be asking." She sighed.

"Unnie stop pestering Wendy unnie to tell you, she shouldn't. It is for you to remember what happened, on your own." Yerim called out yet again.

They are all preparing to leave already. They were able to stay until after dinner. The whole time, they were like updating Hyun with their lives.

They still wouldn't tell me a thing about the pact they're talking about though. They said I would want to know what it was, and that it was stupid of me to not remember at all.

"You're not going home Unnie?" Sooyoung asks me. I look over to Joohyun.

"You've been staying here for a while now. Does your manager know? You're not actually hiding from them, right?" Seungwan curiously asks.

"I'm not. Unnie knows I'm here. She's been picking me up here, whenever I needed to go somewhere." I explained to her.

"And you're saying you're still not together, when you already live here." Yeri said in disbelief.

"Yerimah, stop it." I called out seriously. The teasing needs to stop. I just don't want to reach the point where this teasing go out of line and Hyun will feel uncomfortable with it.

"Unnie, it's not that big of a deal." Yeri said.

"It is to me." The teasing is fine but not when the other person involve is here.

"Why are you suddenly so serious? Even Joohyun unnie's fine with it." She said.

"That's enough." Wendy get in between us. "Let's just go now." She went up to Joohyun and hug her. "Thank you for letting us in again unnie." She said to her.

"I should be thanking you for understanding me." Joohyun said.

Sooyung and Yeri followed Wendy and hug Joohyun goodbye too.

After she closed the door she didn't even give me a glance and just walk passed me.

"Hyun..." I followed behind her.

"If you're going to ask me about the pact, just forget about it." She said.

"What? But they said I should remember."

"It doesn't really matter, Seulgi."

"I think it does." She then face me. "If it was a pact made by us, it matters." She smiles.

"We were young back then Seul. It was just a pact made by our younger selves not knowing what the future holds." She said. "What matters is what we have now."

"If it was the reason we've lost you before, don't you think I should know?" I seriously said. "Funny, because you told me your reason for leaving was they found out that you were gay. Now the girls are saying..." I pause realizing what I'm about to say next.

She sighed and avoided eye contact from me. Could it be?

"What did that pact say?" I ask.

"Seulgi, like I said---"

"I was drunk that I wasn't able to remember, but I think I have an idea about it now." I went closer to her.

"Seulgi---"

"One question, Hyun." I said. "Does it really not matter anymore?"

If what I'm thinking is correct, then I should be asking her thoughts about it first. I don't want things between us to be awkward.
