"Lia, come on, you need to eat now" her sister called out but no one was responding.
"Lia" she called out once more
"Can you leave me alone?!?" Lia said back, she was crying again, she kept on crying since last night. She wanted Chaeryeong to be with her, the little bubble always cheers her up, just seeing her face and talking to her makes her day better.
Lisa then walk towards Karina, she wondered why her daughter was there.
"What's wrong?" Lisa asked
"She won't eat eomma, its kind of worrying me because she might get sick" Karina said and sighed
"You just need to give her time Karina, come on, let's eat first downstairs and we'll bring her food" Lisa said as she and her daughter went to the dining room to eat lunch.
"I'm so sorry Ryeong" Lia cried, she was definitely broken but she knew that Chaeryeong would feel worse than her, the other girl was more fragile and sensitive with her emotions.
Suddenly her phone rang, hoping it would be Chaeryeong.
::::::
"Ryeong?"
"It's me, Yeji"
"Oh..."
"Sorry to disappoint you but, I was just wondering how were you, Chaeryeong doesn't want to call you personally because she'll be more broken if she does"
"I'm probably going to die soon" Lia joked
"Yah, don't say things like that"
"I'm sorry... its just- I can't take it anymore"
"We all know"
"I haven't ate ever since I got here"
"What?!?! its been three days!"
"Yeah, well, a little though, Karina would watch me eat even a little and Niki keeps giving me snacks for me to stay alive... somehow"
"Well, at least you're eating"
"Why? is Chaeryeong okay? please tell me what happened to her"
"Well, she didn't want to eat much, but she tried. She definitely misses you a lot. She never leaves her room, unless her sister would let her eat at the dining"
"I feel really bad for her, I just hate it that mom forced me to go back here"
"Same, well, we're going to try to get Chaeryeong out of her place later, she needs sunlight to be honest. You do the same, Chaeryeong wants to know that you're healthy and safe there"
"Tell her I am, thanks for the update Yeji"
"You're welcome"
:::::::::::
Lia sighed, she turned off her phone and then laid back down on her bed.
"Where's Lia?" Irene asked as she went to the dining
"She doesn't want to eat" Karina said nervously
"She's just being dramatic" Irene said
"You know that we should give her time Irene" Lisa said
"She's just crying over things" Irene said and then went up to Lia's room.
"Julia, open this door" Irene said and knocked on the door for a couple of times but Lia didn't care
"This girl..." Irene then went to get the spare keys and then opened the door.
"Lia, eat downstairs now"
"I don't want to"
"I'm telling you Lia, you eat your lunch with us" Irene said sternly
"Just leave me alone" Lia answered back
"What has gotten into you? You should put yourself together" Irene said as she tried to pull Lia up.
Lia got mad, she suddenly stood up, shoving off her mom's hand
"Lia!" Irene shouted
"Mom! I'm so tired already okay! Can you just like leave me alone! I don't want to hear you or even talk to you now!" Lia shouted
"You can't talk to me like that Lia, you will eat with us downstairs whether you like it or not"
"I don't freaking care mom! I don't care if I die here, starve to death, It's your fault why I'm like this. If you haven't forced me to leave then I would be fine! You know what? I hate my life now.... I HATE LIVING LIKE THIS, LIVING WITH YOUR RULES AND ALWAYS FOLLOWING WHATEVER YOU WANT. Well guess what?! I DON'T F*CKING CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY MOM! I HATE YOU!" Lia said as she cried hard, she ran pass her mom and ran out of the house.
"Lia!" Karina called out
"Yah! Come back!" Karina shouted once again
Irene went back down, she saw her son Ni Ki already crying.
"Shh, its fine Ni Ki don't worry" Lisa cooed to her son.
"Mom, Lia is broken, if you really knew, you would've understand her" Lucas said and suddenly stood up from his seat. He was frustrated as well. He went out of the house to find for his sisters...
"Hey cheer up" Natty said, she tried to bring the girl to the café to at least make her a little bit more happy
"Thanks for this Natty but, can we go somewhere else?" Chaeryeong asked
"Umm sure, where do you want to go?" Natty asked. She would do anything for her friend of course even by means that she would be scolded by her girlfriend, Somi.
"Shopping? Hopefully it will let me off" Chaeryeong said and sighed
"sure Ryeong" Natty said and smiled softly to her friend.
They left the café and went shopping around the area, it actually didn't help Chaeryeong a lot coz it only made her remember Lia.
"Hey, it's okay, let's go back to your place mhm?" Natty asked and Chaeryeong nodded
Natty was afraid that her friend might suddenly breakdown outside.
When they reached Chaeryeong's place, someone was already there.
"Mrs. Lee? Mr. Lee?" Natty asked in shock
"Eomma! Appa!" Chaeryeong suddenly cried as she hugged her parents
"Thanks for bringing her Natty" Mr. Lee said and Natty nodded
"I'll get going now Ryeong" Natty said and patted Chaeryeong's back
"Thank you Natty" Chaeryeong said and Natty nodded. She then left to go to her place.
"Chaeyeon told us something" her mom said and she just nodded
"I'll cook you dinner okay?" Mr. Lee said and Chaeryeong nodded
Chaeryeong and her mom went to the living room, sitting down on the sofa.
"Eomma, I miss her already" Chaeryeong cried
"I know sweetie, but her mom wants her back there, you know that all moms just want what's best for their children right?" her mom said and she just nodded
"I want to be with her eomma, I don't know why it's so sudden that she need to leave. Does her mom hate me? Doesn't she like how I look? maybe I'm just not up for her standards" Chaeryeong said, she was having those negative thoughts again
"Sweetie no... don't ever think like that okay? You're gorgeous, you're talented and you're the sweetest person I know. Don't ever doubt yourself Chaeryeong-ah. You will always be beautiful, remember that. And if her mother thinks that way, who cares? Lia loves you for who you are" her mom said which made her cry more. Thinking about Lia breaks her heart.
