Wendy stared at her phone blankly as she waiting for Ayden to reply her text. She noticed that Ayden not texting her frequently like he used to do and he always busy with his work lately. They also haven't seen each other for weeks now and phone call also getting less. Ayden look like don't care about her anymore even when she told him that she is very tired. He not casually comes to deliver her favorite drink like before.

Everything changed drastically after they return from Australia and of course Wendy know the rejection make Ayden distant himself from her. She feels sorry at Ayden but she can't help it. There are a lot of things that she needs to think about before starting relationship. She doesn't want to rush it and she doesn't want to regret her decision. Ayden is good man after all but she doesn't want him to wait for her because she didn't know when she will open her heart to date someone. It better that Ayden hurt now before everything is too late. If Ayden decide to stop seeing her, she will accept his decision. If they are mean for each other, she believes that they will cross path again in future.

Her phone beeping signaling a notification was received and she check it

"Hi, sorry I take too long to reply. I have some works to do. I still at office right now" – Ayden

The text sound bland to Wendy and show no emotion from the sender

"You go home late again today. You should rest" – Wendy

"Don't worry about me. I will be fine" – Ayden

"Have you eaten your dinner?" – Wendy

"Not yet" – Ayden

"I told you already, don't skip your meal" – Wendy

"Wen, don't make me misunderstand more, please" – Ayden

"I just worry about you" – Wendy

"I told you I will be fine. Just go and rest. I have lot of work to do. Goodnight" – Ayden

"Goodnight" – Wendy

It's not first time Ayden texting her coldly but almost every time since the incident. She missed the warm and sweet Ayden that she used to know but she not sure if Ayden will treat her like that anymore.

............................

One fine day at Red Velvet dorm, everyone chill at living room since it was their off-day. Seulgi and Yeri playing video game using Yeri's game console that Ayden bought for her. Joy watching movie on Yeri's VR device while Irene using Seulgi's. Both of them are really into the movie. Sometimes Irene sobbing as the movie is sad while Joy laughing like crazy because she watch comedy movie. The gamers are sometimes bickering with each other because of the game. The only missing is Wendy who goes out to meet someone

"Kang Seulgi, stop playing play your game!" Irene whine after finish the sad movie. She still sobbing that make her face look in a mess

"Yah, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Seulgi asking while still focus on the game

"The movie is so sad"

"That's why I told you don't choose the sad movie. You always crying after watching movie"

"Stop talking, comfort me now" Irene whimper like a kid

"Okay, okay, Yerim we will continue later" Seulgi said

"Aaaa, unnie is such a kid" Yeri complain

"That is movie fault, not me" Irene throw herself to Seulgi embrace as the bear soothing her

"Seulgi unnie, next time when we play game don't let unnie watching movie" Seulgi just giggle at Yeri statement

"You're so mean Kang Yerim"

"Not my fault, your fault" Yeri said while change the game mode to single player "Unnie, why you two not marry to each other and make Kang family come true"

"We're comfortable in relationship now" said Seulgi

"Everybody said you two look good together and even invent couple name like Seulrene or something. I also found lot of video made from our fans about both of you" the maknae stated

"If we're meant-to-be, one day we will get married. We still have lot of things to go after now so we can't make decision. It's enough that we both trust each other and makes things work"

"Glad to hear that unnie. Make sure you don't make Joohyun unnie cry. It's enough that she cry because of stupid movie but don't let it happen because of you. I will kick you out of the dorm if it happens"

"Aigooo, why are you so scary?"

"My baby Yerim is so sweet" Irene smile happily

"It just a responsibility as your younger sister"

"No worry Yerimie, my bear will not doing something that will hurt me. I trust her that she will take care of me. She is not sweet like the other people out there but she has her own charms that make me melt. My baby bear is handsome and she is mine, right bear?" Irene stares at Seulgi lovingly

"You're right" Seulgi peck Irene lips

"Ewww Joohyun unnie is greasy. Get a room you two!" Yeri throw toy stuff to the couple

"Don't act like you never see that. You and Sooyoung always find a way to eavesdrop and peeping on us" Seulgi smirk

"It's not my fault, Sooyoung unnie always drag me with her"

"Both of you are same, don't deny it" Yeri laughing heartily after hear Seulgi answer

Joy take off the VR and sit on the couch "I feel someone talk about me"

"No one talk about you, it just your weird feeling" Seulgi said

"According to elder, if someone often feels that they are mentioned by people that person life will be shorten by 10 years" Yeri said savagely

"Yah, Kim Yerim!" Joy yell and hit Yeri with cushion while the couple just laughing at them

"Hey guys" Wendy just arrive at home and plop herself on the couch

"Wendy unnie, where are you from?" Joy ask

"I hangouts with my friend"

"Aren't your friends busy on weekday?" Joy eyebrows creased

Wendy not answering the question then Yeri asked again "Do you go out with Ayden oppa?"

"No, he is busy"

"Are you seeing someone these days? Lately you acting weird and I guess you have something to tell us" Irene said is serious tone. If she using that tone, she is very serious and the members have no choice but telling the truth. Irene doesn't like it when they lie to her because she didn't want any of them keep secret from each other. The leader is very strict when it comes to discipline and honesty is her top priority.

After hear what Irene said, Wendy don't have choice but tell the truth "I-I go out to meet with...Jackson"

"Jackson the member of Got7?" the maknae looking at each other

"Yes"

"This is not first time you go out with him, right?" Seulgi stare at Wendy

"How do you know?"

"I and Juhyun unnie witness everything on the first time you go out. You even abandon Ayden oppa just because you want to meet with Jackson. In case you don't know, that night he comes to pick you up to have dinner together but he not expects Jackson is a step faster than him. He leaving with disappointment" the bear said

"I'm sorry for that but I really don't know that he will come" Wendy said sadly. She decided to not telling her members about what going on between her and Ayden. Let it just be a secret for a while

"Aigooo, I thought you only seeing Ayden oppa but it turn out you meet Jackson oppa too" said Yeri who sound really disappointed

"We just go out for drink, not a date"

"Just be careful unnie" Joy sighs

"What do you mean?" Wendy puzzled

Irene heave heavy sighs "Whenever we attend program that have other idol on it and Jackson group also happen to be there, he always has his eyes on you. He is eyeing you since long time ago. We noticed that he like you. We don't know what people think even they look innocent. It's not wrong if you want to be friend with him but don't get too close. Please aware of camera. Don't put yourself into trouble. Rumors can happen anytime and it makes you get into hatred. Please take care of your own image. We trust Ayden but not Jackson. Ayden can defend you if something come out but I not sure if Jackson will do since he is idol too and of course he don't want to scratch his own image. Since things not go too far yet, you better lessen your meeting with him. Camera can show up in every angle and we will not aware of it"

Wendy lowered her head as she listened to Irene plus the mentioned of Ayden name. It's clear that her member like Ayden than other male idol. She never has intention to date with Jackson and she also treat him not more than a friend. This time she be careful around someone because she don't want they end up like Ayden and her. She don't want Jackson to misunderstand her action so she decide to stop meeting him

"Okay unnie, I will be careful after this" she looking at the leader

"Alright and I don't mean to stop you make friend with anyone but be careful especially with the opposite gender. Camera are always here and there following us so even our intention is just to meet friend, it will be big news to netizen if someone spot us. This is not only for Wendy but all of you too. Please avoid yourself from nonsense scandal and absurd news"

"Okay unnie" the girls said together

............................

The girls stop doing their practice when their manager coming and call for short meeting

"Girls, I got call from Platinum Corporation this morning. They will held dinner on this Saturday to raise fund for new orphanage at Jeonju. You guys are invited since you're their endorser"

"Okay unnie" they chirped excitedly

"They also request you all to perform 2 songs on that night"

"Not a big problem"

"Good" the manager wink playfully "Choose 2 songs then tell me the title"

"Okay unnie!"

"I go back to the office and if you decided the song, just tell me then start practice"

"Alright"

After the manager leave, they choosing the song that they will sing on that night then Irene text their manager the song title
