If Only There Was A Switch In My Heart It Should Be For 'Reset'.

(Chapter 5A) - Fluffy alternate ending

"What?!" Irene stares at Wendy with mouth agape.

"Please?"

"How desperate and cheap do you think I am?" Irene lets go of Wendy's wrists.

"W-what?"

"You're using me to get over your cold feet?"

"No!"

"Really? Then why are we here in this hotel room, just hours before your wedding, with you trying to... to..." She gulps. "To do that." She gestures at the open buttons on Wendy's shirt. "Can you please button your shirt up?" She swallows. The smooth creamy skin peeking from between the parted shirt is making it hard for her to focus.

Wendy looks down but doesn't do anything about her clothes. "I just wanted to prove something... once and for all."

"What do you need to prove? We both know we can't be together so just marry the guy and go live happily ever after!"

Wendy winces a bit at Irene's loud voice. "I haven't given you my answer yet."

"You getting married isn't an answer?!" Irene then sighs - sitting back down on the mattress. She stares at the carpet. "Stop the games, Wendy. I can't do this. I'm too stupid to say no even though I know this will only hurt me more. So please stop?"

It breaks Wendy's heart to see Irene so helpless. She takes a seat next to Irene. "I'm sorry. It's... confusing." She doesn't know what else to say to describe her state of mind.

"Choose him. It's better that way," Irene weakly says.

"I'm scared."

"Why?" Irene turns her head to see Wendy fidgeting with her nails. "What are you scared of?"

"Everything. Myself... life..." My feelings towards you.

"Why?" Irene's not getting any of this.

Wendy takes a deep breath. "I always give my 150%, remember?"

Irene nods.

"I tried too hard. You once said that sometimes my best just isn't enough and that I should just accept it." She looks at Irene. "But what if my best turns out to be more than enough? What if it starts to change everything? Should I accept it too?"

Irene's officially lost now. "What are you talking about, Wendy?"

"You told me once that it took you quite a while to get used to the fact that you're different."

She nods. "And?"

"And... I think I also needed quite a while to get used to the fact that I've changed." She gulps and looks away - avoiding Irene's gaze.

"What..." Irene frowns.

"Sigh... nothing." Weny kept her head down. "I'm sorry, Irene. I never meant to hurt you. I guess I'm just too much of a coward. A pathetic coward."

Irene starts to understand. "Make your choice, Wendy. But just so you know, choosing me means the beginning of a life that will be tougher and hurtful."
