When It's Time. | SEULRENE

The past, before they all went their separate ways...

Irene's POV

"Bear, that's enough!" I try to steal her drink from her.

"Unnie! Chill! This is just a game we're playing." Kim Yerim said.

She's literally having fun seeing her Seulgi unnie take every single drink at every question thrown at her.

"Just change the game already." I said.

"We're still having fun! Right unnie?" She look over to the her unnie that is also not allowed to drink alcohol yet. God!

I look over the two, who are of the same age. Seungwan's still sober because she doesn't avoid questions like Seulgi does.

"Seulgi unnie, just answer our questions. Joohyun unnie's worried about you already." I felt Seulgi's hand land on my thigh.

"Unnie, I'm fine. You don't need to worry."

"Okay!" I got startle when Yerim clapped. Did she mistakenly had a drink? "Next question is for you Joohyun unnie." She exclaimed. I glared at her.

"At what age do you want to settle down?" Huh? Sooyoung ask first. 

"I don't know." I haven't really thought about that yet.

"Drink!" They give me a glass.

"I answered!"

"No, you did not." Seriously, Kim Yerim!

"Maybe in my thirties, or 10 years after we debut." I said. I don't want to drink anymore. I still need to take care of this drunk bear.

"Isn't that too soon unnie?" Seungwan asks.

"They just ask about when to settle, life doesn't end there." I said.

"What if you still won't have someone when that time comes?" Sooyoung.

I look over to Seulgi, who's suddenly so silent now.

"I will have someone." I said. Seulgi look up and meet my stare. By that time, I'll be brave enough fight for what I feel. I think 10 years will be enough time.

"Oh! She's confident!" Yerim teases. "I guess after 10 years my parents will really break up." Is she drunk?

"Which parent would you want to go to with, if it happens?" Sooyoungie join in Yerim.

"Seulgi unnie!" I look at Yeri in disbelief. "I just know she'll be the most broken hearted, if Joohyun unnie finds someone."

"What makes you so sure, I'll find someone before Seulgi does?" I ask.

"Because I will not look for anyone else." Seulgi spoke that caught all of our attention.

"H-huh?"

"I can wait, unnie." She look up to me with her eyes starting to tear up. "If you can't find someone when that time comes, can you just settle with me?"

"What?" Honestly? I'm in shock. What the hell?!

"Yah! KangSeul! Are you really confessing now?" Seungwan told her. Confessi--what?! She likes me?

"I am." She said. I feel my heart beats faster than it usually does.

I look at the younger girls, they're surely in shock too. Okay this isn't something you should be saying while being drunk.

Next thing I know she's in front of me already.

"Joohyunie," she cutely called my name and hold both my hands. "In between those years, I promise to make you fall in love with me like I am in love to you." Am I dreaming? I am not hallucinating, right?
