Chaeryeong took a shower as well and then went back to the dining to eat along with Ryujin.

"Does something else hurt?" Chaeryeong asked worriedly as she sat across the girl. Ryujin just shook her head.

"Let's eat, you might've been starving" Chaeryeong said and chuckled to lighten up the mood. She was glad that the other girl didn't refused to eat. After eating, Chaeryeong washed the dishes and let Ryujin stay at the living room. Suddenly her phone rang.

"You busy unnie?"

"Apparently I am Yuna, why?"

"Oh, I was wondering if you want to come over"

"Sorry Yuna, I can't maybe next time, well, I have some company"

"Oh really? sorry then unnie, well maybe next time. Goodnight"

"Goodnight"

Chaeryeong turned off her phone and sighed. She then walked towards Ryujin who seems to be off.

"Is there something wrong?" Chaeryeong asked, she sat beside Ryujin but not too close.

"My necklace..." Ryujin trailed off, she was looking at her necklace that was on the coffee table

"Oh yeah, We can go get it fixed tomorrow, if that's okay with you" Chaeryeong said and Ryujin just nodded slowly

Ryujin kept staring at the necklace, she remembered something. A tear suddenly fell to her cheek.

"Ryujin?" Chaeryeong called out softly but then, Ryujin cried hard. Chaeryeong didn't think twice, she suddenly hugged the girl to calm her down. She knows that when someone is crying, it's best to hug them than to ask what's wrong.

"Hey, stop crying now" Chaeryeong said and patted the girl's back gently.

"I- I miss my mom" Ryujin said, Chaeryeong's heart suddenly felt pain. She didn't know why but when Ryujin started crying she just felt pain.

"I'm sure she misses you too Ryujin" Chaeryeong said. Chaeryeong gets emotional but, she held back her tears.

As Chaeryeong kept comforting Ryujin, Ryujin suddenly hugged Chaeryeong back, it did shocked Chaeryeong but she didn't mind it at all.

After that session of Ryujin crying, Chaeryeong insisted that Ryujin should sleep at her bed. Ryujin wanted to refuse but the other girl just said that she needs to sleep already. Chaeryeong ended up sleeping at the couch.

"What's taking Chaeryeong long? she never arrives at school pass 6:30" Lia said

"Maybe she had business to do" Yeji said

"Yeah, unnie told me she had company at her place, so of course she would be busy" Yuna said and the other two nodded

The three girls were waiting for Chaeryeong as usual. Lia got a little impatient which is why she was acting that way.

————————

Back at Chaeryeong's place, the two were already up and were getting ready for school.
Ryujin opened up to Chaeryeong a little, telling her why she became like that and why she takes care of her necklace. Chaeryeong also promised not to tell anyone else about it. She wanted to help Ryujin to change back to her happy self.

"I'll change this now okay?" Chaeryeong said as she pointed to the bandage on Ryujin's neck. Ryujin just nodded as Chaeryeong grabs a new one. She put some ointment on the wound and then carefully placed the bandage.
