days of our lives

"mmm!" wendy's eyes widened as she took a bite of the stir fried rice cakes that irene brought back to dorm. "unnie, this is delicious!"

irene watched, shaking her head in disbelief when wendy tried to stab as many rice cakes as she can fit on her fork, before bringing the humongous lump of food to her mouth. wendy closed her eyes and sighed contentedly, apparently savoring the bite.

"seungwan-ah, slow down!" irene laughed. "there's enough of that to go around, you know."

"irrh chnt hllp it." wendy mumbled through a mouth full of food. swallowed. "i've been craving these since yesterday."

irene hummed. "really? good thing i was able to buy some, then."

it was the wee hours of the morning, and irene had just gotten back from filming a commercial in the countryside. as it happened, wendy had been the only one awake when she arrived, thus getting first dibs on the food irene had bought for the members.

"where did you buy this?!" wendy pressed, already preparing her next bite.

irene shrugged. "i can't remember exactly? we just happened to pass by an open stall on the way back, so i ask manager-nim to stop by."

after a few more mouthfuls, wendy licked her fork clean and set it down, finally getting her fill.

"ahhhh~ i'm soooo happy. craving satisfied!"

wendy turned to irene, eyes twinkling, extended her hand towards her, and took a deep breath.

irene eyed her suspiciously. "what are you--"

"DID YOU EVER KNOW THAT YOU'RE MY HEROOOOO~" wendy sang out, covering the distance between them in two steps and grasping both of irene's hands. "YOU'RE EVERYTHING I WISH I COULD BEEEE~"

irene panickedly shrugged out of wendy's grip and backed away. "SHhhhHh!  seungwan-ah! you'll wake the others." though somehow, she can't help but laugh at wendy's silliness.

wendy wagged her eyebrows but obliged, bringing her volume down a notch. "i can fly higher than an eeeeagle." she placed a hand to her heart. "for you are the wind beneath myyyyyyyYyyyyyyYyyyyy wiiiIIIiiiiiiIiiingssss." melismas flying everywhere with reckless abandon.

having finished teasing her unnie (ah, so fun), wendy dropped her hand. she tilted her head and flashed irene a genuine smile. "no, really. thanks so much, unnie. as expected of the best woman of this generation!" she winked.

"you're welcome." irene smiled back. "i better go wash up and get ready for bed. you should do the same. we have that radio schedule later today." she reminded.

"ah!" wendy's eyes widened in realization. "i forgot!"

she glanced at their dining table, quickly moving around to transfer the rice cakes into a tupperware.

"you go ahead, unnie. i'll clean up here."

she grabbed the fork she'd used and threw it in the dishwasher, then looked around for a rag to wipe the table with.

"thanks, seungwan-ah" irene shuffled towards her room. "good night!"

"good night, unnie!"

once inside her room, irene leaned back against her closed door. she took out her phone, opened her notes app to scroll through her checklist:

- wed 12:30am, yerim practice shoes approaching end-of-life.
- wed 4:50pm, kids muscles hurting during practice. buy pain relief patches.

and marked an item complete.
