That day was May 1st or maybe a Mayday for wendy, and for the record, not to celebrate anything. It was the day when wendy having a life-threatening experience in her one span lifetime. Call her exaggerating it but she surely has a gloomy aura spreads from her face since a week ago. It’s just, today was her gloomiest day amongst the week.
About on one fine Friday night, her leader got a call from their manager. She could tell from Irene’s serious face shown up and a bit later she has a big smile plastering on her pretty face.
“thank you, oppa,” Irene said as she hung up.
“what was that, unnie?,” seulgi asked as she flopped down on the couch, sandwiches between Yeri and Joy.
Wendy who was being a cheer ball on the floor with Yeri, joking around about not-so-funny things and Joy was judging them hard from her seat, suddenly halt her movement and focusing to her friend and leader conversation.
“remember when I was getting casted for mubank MC? Guess who am I gonna be partnered with,” Irene’s voice full with tingling and giddy sounds, it spins down to wendy’s veins or maybe arteries, she couldn’t tell. It gives her Goosebumps and she doesn’t like what’s about to come next.
“who? Is it a guy? Who is it unnie?,” yeri and Joy chipped in
“as matter of fact, it is a guy,” Irene said while giggling,
That’s right, wendy doesn’t like the sound of it, even for one tiny bit,
“uh-oh, is he handsome?,” this time yeri beat joy before she could ask first, and seulgi sends concern look toward wendy who has her head hanging low, suddenly having a staring contest with the floor,
“he is….cute I think.”
“he is? Is he younger than you unnie? Who is it?”
“don’t tease, just tell us who he is, unnie,” Joy said with her pouty lips, seungwan who has a phone on her hand ready to type the guy’s name, if she was about to be partnered with a guy, it’s better not to be a cute guy or,
“park bogum, he was on cantabile tomorrow.”
Ah I knew that one! a new comer actor, isn’t he 2 years younger than you unnie, HELL HE IS CUTE was echoed from the back of wendy’s head, she was busy typing his name at the moment,
who the hell is he, seungwan thought.
And when the result is out, wendy just staring down to her phone while the girls are being loud with the news,
Damn, he is cute
“unnie? Are you okay?,” Joy asked when wendy didn’t answer her what does she think about bogum.
“y-yeah, why wouldn’t I be?,” wendy suddenly lifts up her head and have a big-fake-smile on her face. But it doesn’t convince Joy, heck, Even seulgi didn’t buy it.
“it doesn’t stop right there,” Irene continues,
“we’re going to perform a duet on our first day.”
Members give Irene a big reaction for that, but there is only one person with a deep frown on her face who was busy with her phone at the moment. little did wendy knows, their leader had been studying the latter’s reaction from the beginning. Her smirk drawn on her face.

“seungwan-nie,” irene called wendy’s name soothingly, peeking through the younger’s door room, joy and seulgi are going out at the moment.
Wendy who was laying down flatly on her belly straighten up her posture and pull herself together, pausing her pity-ing self-time.
“y-yes unnie?”
“can you help me with the song?”
Wendy seems hesitating at first, actually she doesn’t want to care about that day, the day when that guy would be all over Irene or vice versa, even though it wasn't about lovey dovey song but hell, wendy is jealous as duck.
“if you were busy then it’s alright, I’ll practice it by myself,” irene’s small voice makes wendy groans internally,
“of course not unnie, come here,” wendy said while smiling as she patted an empty space on her bed.
Irene practically skipping to wendy’s bed and sat next to her,
“so what do you need me to do?”
“sing his part then I’ll sing mine, correct me if I was off or lack of something,” Irene said as she gave wendy the lyrics.
Wendy can tell if Irene was trying so hard to show her best, she can feel it if confidence has finally grown inside of her leader. Their leader. And wendy couldn’t be more proud of her. Even if she isn’t gonna sing with her on the stage, at least she can help Irene to sing off stage, right?
Right, that’s enough, for now.

“unnie, drink this before you go to sleep, don’t eat oily food and take care of your health,” wendy walks in to Irene and yeri’s room while carrying a glass of warm water and vitamins.
Irene was quiet for a moment, she just staring at wendy who is now currently sitting on her bed.
“unnie? Are you alright?,” wendy’s eyes looking through irene’s causing the latter to trembling and blushing a little,
“thank you,” she simply said with her husky voice. And truth to be told, wendy is the one who were thankful right now.
And the next 3 days are heavens to wendy. She was showering Irene with care since mc Irene is going to debut soon. Wendy makes sure if Irene is eating her meal, help her practicing her song and today she is going to help Irene with dancing part.
“no unnie, you kno
