It's You | Ryuryeong

Months Later.....

Chaeryeong was always happy to do dance and she spends most of her time with Natty since she's the only one she's very close with even though if she have other Japanese friends.

"Ryeong-chan, you did great yesterday!" one said and clapped happily

"Thank you, you did great as well Rima-chan" Chaeryeong said and chuckled

"When's the next performance?" Chaeryeong asked

"Its next month since they said we can get a two week rest or vacay after and then get back to school right away" another said, namely Mayuka

"Oh okay then, thank you" Chaeryeong said with a smile

They were all at the practice room and Chaeryeong was just waiting for Natty to get her so that they could go have lunch together outside.

After a few minutes, Natty finally arrived

"Ryeong-ah~" Natty said and it made Chaeryeong giggle. She bid goodbye to some of her friends and left the classroom with Natty.

"How was your class?" Chaeryeong asked Natty

"Makes my throat sore but I'm fine, water would help I guess or maybe your mom's special tea" Natty said and chuckled

"I'm sure mom would gladly make you tea" Chaeryeong said

"Oh also... some kids are thinking that we're dating, its not that I find it disgusting.... its just weird" Natty said and her face scrunched up

"What? eww that's gross, the two of us dating? that will never happen dummy" Chaeryeong said

"I know idiot, like, we've been hanging out since kids and ever since that we used to do embarrassing things together so us dating is definitely a big no" Natty said and shook her head

"Agreed, and I'm sure Somi doesn't know all the weird things you do" Chaeryeong teased

"Oh god don't remind me about that, I hate it back in those days" Natty said and both of them chuckled and went off to eat their lunch outside.

"Its friday today right?" Natty asked and Chaeryeong nodded

"I'm really expecting a big dinner later" Chaeryeong said

"Of course you will, why again tho?" Natty asked, probably forgetting the purpose of the dinner.

"Kkura unnie and Chaeyeon unnie are getting married soon, which means that they'll be starting some arrangements and mom and dad wanted to have dinner with them before they handle all the things they need" Chaeryeong said and Natty nodded

"Then let's hurry up so then we can get to your house and eat a lot" Natty said and both of then excitedly went off, awaiting for that dinner in the evening.

Lia's POV

Should I tell her now? I'm already done with college and both of my parents are wanting me to go to the US to see them, what if Ryujin doesn't want to?

Maybe she wouldn't care since she's too busy with her training for being the CEO, its been months already

I'm just getting frustrated here, I badly want to see my parents, I don't know what me and Ryujin are on this thing already and I'm feeling very bad just thinking about Chaeryeong in Japan and her living a life without her very close friend.

I felt like crying that's why I didn't stop mg tears, I let it out as I covered my face, I didn't want anyone to see me, especially that I'm out in public.

"Lia?" I heard and my heart started pounding, she was the reason. The reason why I'm like this and why I question my feelings towards Ryujin.

"Are you okay? hey?" she then sat beside me and patted my back

"Yeji, not now please" I told her and continued to cry

"I told you that you can tell me anything remember? I'll be here to listen Lia, whether you like it or not" she said and I swallowed the thick lump in my throat.

"I don't want to" I said to her and wiped away the tears that were falling to my cheeks

"Is it about Ryujin? you can tell me about it and I'll talk to her" she said

"No Yeji, its about everything, including you" I said and looked at her, she looked so worried, was she worried for me?

"Me?" she asked

"Yes Yeji, even you. Right now all I want is to clear my mind off. I badly want to see my parents in the US but I don't know if Ryujin will allow me. Adding to that I don't know where me and Ryujin stand anymore in this relationship of ours. She's always busy. I can't understand my feelings anymore, especially when you came up. You were always there for me, we're classmates Yeji and you always find a way to make me happy when me and Ryujin argue. You try to reassure me that Chaeryeong is fine in Japan. You're always there to make me happy, to cheer me up, to take care of me. Yeji, do you like me? because right now I'm not gonna lie, I'm starting to have feelings for you and I don't hell care if I'm Ryujin's girlfriend right now" I said and looked at her once again. Her face showed a little bit of shock and worry but I could also see a little bit of happiness in her eyes.

"Lia, I have feelings for you too but right now, you have to talk things out with Ryujin, its you two and I don't want any of you to be in a misunderstanding" she told me and I just sighed and closed my eyes

"Its your choice Lia, you make the decision but no matter what, I'll be here for you" she said and brought me to a hug. I hugged her back as she caressed my hair. This, this was the kind of thing that I was finding. Someone who'll always be there, willing to wait and someone who can give me advises in my life, maybe I should tell Ryujin. I need to clear everything up
