Warning- This chapter contains violence and fighting.
After lunch, Chaewon decided to explore the campus a little bit more.
"I'll see you guys later," she said.
"I'm going to explore too. Hopefully we'll meet somewhere," Hyejoo said.
Chaewon smiled. "Alright then Wolfie, see you soon. I'll see the rest of you at the dorms."
Hyejoo left first, and Chaewon left in a different direction.

"Hey, Chaewon," a voice called.
When she turned, no one was there. "Chaewon."
"Who are you?"
"You scaredy-cat, Chae," said the voice. Ah.
"Hye, stop scaring me like that," Chaewon complained.
"Who's Hye?" The voice showed herself, stepping out from the shadows.
Chaewon's heart dropped. It was Jihyun, her abusive ex. "Wh-what are you doing here? I thought you didn't make it in."
"I came to see my girlfriend, of course," Jihyun crooned, lifting Chaewon's chin with one finger.
"Ex-girlfriend. I'm not your girlfriend anymore, because you decided to break up with me," Chaewon snapped, slapping her hand away.
Jihyun laughed. Then, faster than she could react, Chaewon was pinned to the wall. Chaewon tried to call out for help, but this was the quietest part of the hallway and her voice wasn't working.
"You lost your senses, now, haven't you?" Jihyun said softly, her voice not matching the sadistic expression on her face. Jihyun grinned wide. "Don't worry, babe, I'll put your senses back for you."
Chaewon gulped. "Help," she managed, but her voice came out as a whisper.
"That's no way to treat your lover," Jihyun said, pouting. "It'll be quick, I promise."
Her hand lifted, Chaewon instinctively covering her head with her arms and bracing for the impact.
However, the hit never came, instead replaced by a yelp and a thud.
When Chaewon looked up, there was Hyejoo, fury burning in her eyes.

Hyejoo was walking down the hallway, when she saw Chaewon walking towards the hall she was in. She ran to meet her, smiling, but stopped when she saw a dark figure. Chaewon looked scared when the figure stepped out from the shadows, but Hyejoo couldn't tell why. She heard Chaewon call the figure her ex, but she couldn't tell whether it was a guy or girl because of the hood. Wait, Hyejoo, you're stupid, she thought. Of course she's a female. Only girls uni, afterall.
The figure slammed Chaewon into the wall, which ignited pure rage in Hyejoo. She never liked bullies. However, she decided to give the girl the benefit of a doubt, because no one would intentionally slam someone as sweet as Chae into a wall. But when the person lifted her hand and Chaewon flinched, covering her head, that's when she lost it.
Hyejoo crossed the distance in a few swift strides and grabbed the person's arm. Time in America did teach her to fight well after all.
Hyejoo twisted the person's arm, making her yelp. She effortlessly slammed the girl to the floor, knocking her nearly unconscious.
"If you dare to even look at her again, you'll get twice as worse as that, you hear me?" Hyejoo hissed, furious that someone would try to hurt her best friend.
"Y-yes," the girl managed, blood now dripping from her mouth.
"Hye," Chaewon's voice momentarily cooled down her fury. Hyejoo shot one last glare at them and walked over to Chaewon, gaze softening.
"Chaewon, are you alright?" Hyejoo asked, her voice soothingly low and soft.
Chaewon didn't respond. "Chae?" she asked again.
Chaewon lifted her face, but stayed silent. Hyejoo stepped forward and hugged her tightly. Chaewon froze for a few seconds, but once she inhaled the familiar flower scent of Hyejoo, her mind let go of all the emotions she had kept suppressed for way too long.

"Chae!" Her girlfriend said cheerfully, her perfect curls bouncing as she waved.
"Hyunnie!" Chaewon called, running to her girlfriend. They hugged, as they always did, and Jihyun gave her a kiss on the cheek.
A guy came over and scowled at the display of affection. "Ew, gross."
"Who is he, Hyunnie?" Chaewon asked.
"He's my brother, Jisung," Jihyun replied.
"Hi, Jisung," Chaewon said, smiling.
"Can I talk to you privately, Jihyun?" Jisung asked, glaring at Chaewon.
"Yeah, sure," Jihyun responded.

When they came back, Jihyun's expression was cold. "Park Chaewon, let's go to a private room. I need to talk to you."
"Sure," Chaewon said nervously, mostly because when Jihyun called her by her full name, it was because she was mad. And when Jihyun was mad, she broke things. Including Chaewon.

Trigger warning- abuse

At the music room, Jihyun stopped, and so did Chaewon. The room was empty, as it usually was during lunchtime. "So what's wro-"
She was cut off by a slap across the face. "You," Jihyun hissed. She twisted Chaewon's arm, making her yelp. "God, don't be such a baby."
Jihyun shoved her away, causing Chaewon to lose her balance and fall.
"How pathetic can you be, Chaewon? Cheating on me? Seriously?"
"I never cheated on you," Chaewon protested. "Please, just this once, believe me."
"When have you ever told the truth?" Jihyun screamed. "You always lie to me!"
"You never give me the chance to explain myself!" Chaewon yelled back. She immediately knew she made a mistake when Jihyun glared at her.
"Did you dare to yell at me?" she asked softly.
"No," Chaewon choked out.
Jihyun grabbed the collar of Chaewon's hoodie and slammed her into the band lockers. Faster than Chaewon could block, Jihyun slapped her, kicked her, and punched her, in the places where the bruises wouldn't show.
Finally, mercifully, Jihyun stopped, breathing heavily. Chaewon was on the floor, curled into a ball. At that single display of weakness, Jihyun picked her up and threw her against the drum set, hard enough to bruise for a few weeks.
"I'm breaking up with you, Park Chaewon. I hate you." Jihyun then stormed out of the room, leaving Chaewon's heart in a million pieces.

"I miss you, Hye... when will you be back?" Chaewon whispered, touching the butterfly charm, tears rolling down her face.

A little Chaewon backstory (also I made up the name Jihyun and Jisung- sorry if there are any Jihyuns or Jisungs out there, or if they're kpop idols; I didn't mean to offend anyone)
