After wrapping up their latest fan meet for their anniversary, the Red Velvet members piled into their van, still buzzing from the energy of the event. The air was light and playful, laughter bubbling up as they decided to grab some late-night dessert at a cozy cafe nearby.

As expected, Joy was already poking fun at Irene before they even reached the café.

Joy: Unnie, you totally melted when that fan gave you the ring!

She giggled, nudging Irene’s shoulder. Irene rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide her soft smile.

Irene: It was sweet, okay? Doesn’t mean I’m getting married tomorrow.

Yeri leaned forward from the back seat, smirking.

Yeri: But if you were getting married, who’d it be? Anyone we know, hmm?

Irene: Yah, stop with the questions!

The van was filled with teasing and chuckles as they arrived at the café. Once they settled into a corner booth, the topic lingered on relationships.

Wendy stirred her drink thoughtfully.

Wendy: Do you think we’ll all end up finding someone? Like… real love? Not just flings.

Joy shrugged, half-serious, half-teasing.

Joy: I don’t know. With our schedules? Love probably ran away screaming.

They all laughed—except Seulgi, who had been quietly sipping her drink, gazing out the window.

Yeri noticed and nudged her gently.

Yeri: Seulgi unnie, you’re awfully quiet. Don’t tell me you’re the mysterious type who’s secretly in love with someone already.

Seulgi smiled faintly but said nothing.

Irene gave her a soft look.

Irene: It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. But I hope whoever it is—or will be—treats you well.

Seulgi finally spoke, voice calm.

Seulgi: I think love is… complicated. But I believe we’ll all find it when we’re meant to.

The others grew quiet for a moment, nodding thoughtfully, the mood turning more intimate and sincere.

Wendy: Whether it’s years from now or tomorrow… I just hope we’re all happy.

Joy: And still sharing desserts at midnight.
