When It's Time. | SEULRENE

Chapter XX

I notice how their reaction turned confused seeing other people here. Then they saw me.

"Seulgi." Joohyun called worriedly. "Everything alright?" She went to my side. I give her a nod.

"Can we help you with something?" Unnie gives off a strong aura as she speaks to them. I can already see them scared and nudging each other.

"I think they just got curious, unnie." I help them out. Unnie can become scary at times.

"Go back to your respective works now." Unnie said and they all went to the side of th elevator and waited for it to comeback.

I brought out my keycard and use it to the door for us to enter.

We were met by a sudden shout that startled us.

"Was that Kim Yerim?" Hyun asks me. I nodd before we run to the room for the media team. It was open, that's why Yerim's shout were loud.

"Why is she wearing a gaming headphones?" I ask to Hyun.

I look at the Yerim in disbelief. I went to her to see her playing in one of the computers. The people here were just looking at her amused.

I look at the screen and her character is close to dying already. I waited for it to happen before removing her earphones.

"Yaaah! What are you doing? This is not a gaming room."

"Unnies let me do it. They told me I can use one of the computers since we aren't using it yet. Even Joohyun unnie lets me." She explained.

"Just let her." She said. Yerim always gets what she want with Joohyun. I know that since trainee days.

"She and Sooyoung helped us with the improvement of the designs for aesthetic we're going up to." One of the team said. "They actually had great ideas. We were just taking a break that's why we let her play."

I then see Yerim stick her tongue out. Aah this girl!

"See? Now if you'll excuse me... I have revived." She put back her earphones on.

I heard laughs from everyone.

"Where's Sooyoung?" I ask.

"I know she's with the creative team. She said she wants to help them. She's very hands on with everything." Tiffany unnie said, then face me. "As for you, it's your time to record. Taeyeon's waiting for you."

"Why don't we give her rest first." Hyun said to unnie. "She was busy the whole week and she just came from their company."

"You can rest at the recording studio." Unnie said before going out of the room. Hyun and I followed behind her.

"Unniee!!" Hyun whined.

"Stop whining, I know you just want to spend time with her. Why don't you go together, cuddle each other there."

"You just said Tae unnie is waiting there." Hyun said. Unnie stopped and face us.

"Exactly! She's waiting." Unnie look at me. "She's been missing you to death these days. If I am you, I'll finish what I have to do here, for you to be able to go home and she can have you all to herself already." she said it like it's a really serious advice. "As for me, I still have work to do. I'll leave your girlfriend to you." Unnie patted my shoulder before finding her way out.

"Hyun. I think it's unnie who needs a break and have some rest, not me." I said looking at unnie until she disappeared in our view.

"You think so?" I face her and nod.

"After all this, let's gift her a vacation." She agreed to that.

I hold her hand. "Want to watch me record?"

"Would love to."

We walk ourselves to where Tae unnie is waiting. We knocked before slowly entering.

"It's good that you two are here." Unnie said as soon as she sees us. "I'm working on your unit song and I seriously need your voice in it already." She said the last part to me. "Have you been practicing the song?"

"Yes unnie." I said.

"You wanna hear Irene's part first before you enter the booth?" I excitedly nodded.

"I would love to." I said. We took a seat on the couch

When unnie played it, I was stunned. I look at my girlfriend in shock.

"Her voice suits perfectly with the song." unnie said. "You were right, she can really sing. Her voice is unique... Wait! Are you surprised?"

"I haven't really heard her sing in a long time. Now I wish I had kept hearing that singing voice from her." Hyun scoff at what I said.

"What are you saying?" Hyun said shyly.

"It's true." I smiled proudly. "Right unnie?"

"Even I am impressed by your singing voice. I'm pretty sure a lot of people will too." unnie said.

"Thank you." Hyun said to unnie. She smiled back at me. I know she took that complement to heart.

We were just looking at each other.

"So..." Unnie spoke that made us look at her. She chuckled. "Let's start?"

"Right. To the booth, I go." I stand up and went to the booth.

When I went inside, I see them talking and laughing without me hearing.

Hyun was standing already, I think asking unnie how to let me hear them, because the next thing I hear were their voices.

"Love, this is the first time I'll hear you record first hand." she excitedly said.

"Looks like Tiffany's right. Nothing really bothers you two." I saw Hyun. squinted her eyes on unnie.

"When did she tell you that? During your date with her, the other day?" I was surprise to hear that.

"What?!" I exclaimed. I see Unnie steal the thing to Hyun that made me not hear them again.

"Let's start already." unnie said. I heard Hyun's laugh from the other side.

I'm glad she gets along with the team. It's still with the team, but at least she's opening up to others more now.

Not gonna lie, I feel more excited working on this secret album than the other. Maybe because I feel free with this, or just the fact that I'm where I'm suppose to be now.

I look at my girlfriend and mouthed an I love you to her.
