Love's Unspoken Melody

Chapter 10: A Vacation to Remember

The time had come for Seulgi, Irene, and their circle of friends to go on a much-needed vacation. They had all been working tirelessly, and the idea of a getaway filled with relaxation and fun seemed to be a great.

The destination they chose was a beautiful island with pristine beaches, lush greenery, and crystal-clear waters. It was a paradise for those seeking both adventure and tranquility. Seulgi and Irene had done extensive research to ensure that this vacation would be an unforgettable experience for everyone.

The group of friends included Seulgi and Irene, of course, along with Jennie, Lisa, Wendy, Joy, Yeri. They arrived at the island and were greeted by the warm tropical breeze and the sound of waves crashing gently on the shore.

Their days were filled with various activities. They went snorkeling, exploring the vibrant underwater world with its colorful coral reefs and fascinating marine life. They went on exhilarating zip-lining adventures, soaring over the lush jungle canopy. They also enjoyed leisurely walks along the beach, watching breathtaking sunsets, and indulging in delicious local cuisine.

One day, the group decided to go on a hike to the island's highest peak. It was a challenging but rewarding journey, and at the summit, they were greeted by a panoramic view of the entire island. The sense of accomplishment and the breathtaking scenery made it a memory they would treasure forever.

During their vacation, Seulgi and Irene took some time to escape and enjoy quiet moments together. They would walk along the beach, hand in hand, under the moonlight, or sit together on a hammock, gazing at the starry sky. These intimate moments allowed them to appreciate the beauty of their love in the midst of this paradise.

One evening, as the group sat around a bonfire on the beach, Wendy and Joy exchanged loving glances and shared their plans for the future. It was a beautiful moment, with the sound of the waves and the flickering firelight enhancing the atmosphere of love and companionship.

Jennie and Lisa also found time for a romantic dinner by the beach, where they shared their dreams and aspirations with each other. Their love had blossomed, and they cherished every moment they spent together.

Seulgi and Irene, their hands entwined, looked at the friends who had become like family. Their hearts were filled with gratitude for the love and support that surrounded them.

Seulgi spoke up, her voice filled with emotion. "Hyun and I want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of our lives. We're grateful for the love and friendship that we share."

Irene added, "This vacation has been incredible, and it wouldn't have been the same without all of you. We look forward to creating more beautiful memories together."

Their friends nodded in agreement, and Wendy couldn't help but tease, "And who knows, we might have another reason to celebrate soon."

The group burst into laughter, knowing exactly what Wendy was alluding to. With a toast to their enduring friendship and the love that bound them, they watched the moonlight dance on the waves, savoring the precious moments of their vacation.

The next day they planned a date to enjoy as a couple not bothering and interrupting others. Each couple set out to their respective places.

Seulgi decided to take Irene to the movies, choosing a romantic film that she knew would melt their hearts. They settled into their seats, hands entwined, and as the movie began, they were drawn into the passionate love story unfolding on the screen.

However, as the movie progressed, Irene found it increasingly challenging to focus on the plot. Her attention kept drifting to the person sitting beside her, her heart skipping a beat every time she glanced at Seulgi. Her girlfriend's captivating presence and the way the soft cinema lighting highlighted her features made it nearly impossible for Irene to concentrate on the movie.

As the film reached its climax, Irene couldn't resist the temptation any longer. She leaned closer to Seulgi and planted a soft, lingering kiss on her lips. Seulgi, surprised but delighted, returned the kiss with equal emotion, their affection unfolding in the dimly lit theatre.

The movie came to an end, and Irene, her heart still racing, turned to Seulgi with a mischievous grin. "I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll head back to the room. You stay and enjoy the rest of your day, okay?"

Seulgi, slightly taken aback by Irene's sudden change in mood, frowned in concern. "Are you sure you're okay? We can go back together."

Irene shook her head, her expression unreadable. "I just need some time alone. Enjoy your day, Seulgi." She then got up and walked out of the theatre, leaving Seulgi bewildered but respecting her wishes.

During lunch, their friends gathered together at a cozy restaurant by the beach. Seulgi sent Irene a message inviting her to join them, but the text remained unanswered. Seulgi's concern grew as she wondered about Irene's sudden mood change.

As the meal continued, Seulgi's friends noticed her distracted state. Wendy, perceptive as ever, leaned in and asked softly, "Seulgi, is everything okay? You seem a bit off today."

Seulgi sighed, her concern evident in her eyes. "Hyun left during the movie today, and she hasn't responded to my messages. I'm not sure what's going on."

Jennie, who had come to know Irene well, tried to reassure Seulgi. "Don't worry too much. Irene might just need some space or have something on her mind. She'll come around, and you can talk about it later."

"Should I give a call? I'm kinda worried". Seulgi grumbles. "You might make her even more angry." Jennie blurted, which resulted in her quickly covering her mouth.

"Even more?" Seulgi's eyes widened and Jennie swore that the girl was about to cry. The latter found it adorable that Seulgi was in love with Irene. "She's mad at me?".

Jennie shook her head, she actually doesn't know if Irene was mad, she just assumed so since Irene didn't bother to interact with Seulgi for the rest of the day. It's very unusual for Irene.

"H-How about we call her? She's not mad I promise." Jennie smiled nervously. She handed her the phone and Seulgi made a call hoping that she didn't do anything bad.

"Seulgi?"

"Hyun!" Seulgi smiled, knowing Irene was ok and not mad at her. "Hey uhm, are you ma-"

"I...." Irene took a deep breath on the other line and her voice sounded off, "Can we talk? At evening, I'll meet you in your room." Irene sounded like she was hesitating, almost like she doesn't want to ask what she's asking.

"Yeah th-that's ok with me". Seulgi stuttered. She couldn't help but feel anxious over what's to come. Irene usually isn't like that. Seulgi was utterly worries and she couldn't help but think of how Irene bluntly hung up the phone.

What happened?
