When It's Time. | SEULRENE

Irene's POV

I woke up feeling someone caressing my face. I smiled knowing who it is.

"Don't stare too much. You might get sick of it, I don't want that." I snuggled closer to her. She laughs.

"I love you." Haha

"That's so random." I said.

"I just want to make sure, last night wasn't a dream."

"I love you too." I kissed the skin closest to my lips.

She pulled me even closer to her and hug me tighter.

"Bear, I can't breath." She loosens.

"This okay?" She asks.

"Yes."

"Can I ask about that pact now?" I smiled. She's been really curiosious about that.

"It wasn't really a pact, Seul. More a like a promise. A promise that wasn't even needed in the first place, because I was already in love with you then. I never thought of settling with anyone else but you." I said. "I didn't mind you forgetting about it. I got you beside me and that's always what matters more."

"I must say though, a part of me wanted you to remember. I wouldn't have been frustrated every time you deny anything, when I know what you truly feel. I could've had the random I love yous sooner."

"I'm sorry." I scoff and pull away a little to make me see her. I smiled, assuringly.

"It's not like you chose to forget about it. You're---" we all of a sudden heard a knock on my bedroom door.

"Joohyun? Seulgi?" My manager was heard behind it. I look up to Seulgi.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"Nine..."

"Shoot!" I automatically stand up.

"Do you have a schedule today?" Seulgi ask. I look at her and nodd.

"I have a script reading."

"You're having a new drama?" Right. I haven't told her yet.

"My last." I said with a smile. She was surprised by it. 

"Joohyun? Did you forgot what day it is?" Unnie said. 

"I'm already awake. Let me get ready first." I shouted, then I heard nothing again. 

"Your last?" I heard Seulgi said. 

"Yes. It's time." It's time I focus on myself now. 

"You're still in your thirties Hyun." She got off the bed. "Are you really retiring this early?" 

"10 years is enough years already." I have I went closer to her and give her a peck before running my way to my bathroom. 

"Hyun!" she called but I just close the bathroom door. 

I did my routine and got myself ready. Seulgi and Unnie was already settled in the kitchen, talking. 

"Unnie!" I excitedly called her. "I've got good news!" I exclaimed. They look at me both. 

"You look so happy. This is new." Unnie said looking at me amused. She looks over to Seulgi. "What happened?" She asks her. Seulgi gives her and I-don't-know look.

"She's excited to retire?" Seulgi unsurely said. 

"You know about it already?" Unnie asks her.

"Hmm" She nod. "She just told me. What do you think about it, unnie?" I scoff as she ask my manager that.
