" So ? How was your days in the hospital ? " Minju asked her friend, who seems in a deep thought.

They've been staying in a café for an hour already yet Chaewon seems so lost around them.
Whenever they would bring up a topic, she could only nod her head as if she was listening at all.

Though she isn't, she's completely spacing out to the point that Hyewon didn't hesitate to lean at Chaewon and placed her both hands on her shoulder, Shaking her body violently.

Chaewon blinked multiple times, as she came back to her senses and that's the time Hyewon sat back to her chair which is just infront of the psychiatrist.

" Sorry, are you saying something ? " Chaewon looked at them and instead of answering her question, Yujin just asked her something back.

" Are you okay unnie ? you seems off " The others nodded their heads in agreement.

They're supposed to hangout this morning since they haven't seen each other for too long, but guess they're in a wrong timing.

" You must be tired unnie " Wonyoung added. Worried visible on their faces and Chaewon hated it.

She hates it whenever someone felt pity on her, no other reasons she just hates it.

Chaewon could only let out a sigh and shook her head before grabbing her iced coffee and take a sip on it.

" Don't worry, Im fine " She showed them a small smile.

" You don't seem like fine " Yuri spoke. " Like really really fine "

Chaewon didn't dare to response, how could she deny that ? Her friends know her too well after all to the point that she can't lie to them, and even if she did she'll get caught in the end.

" Im fine really, maybe Im just sleepy " She hopes they will buy her excuse and when she saw them nodded her head. She silently sigh in relief.

She don't want to get interrogate now by her friends, not now that she can't even think properly.

" If you say so " Minju spoke.

As they Continued to talk randomly, Chaewon was able to join their conversations properly. She's not spacing out that too much like earlier.

She just thought she should have payed attention to her friends first other than the thoughts in her mind which wouldn't help her day to be better.

Those thoughts would just make her loss focused again.

" You know I can always listen, we can " Minju suddenly spoke beside her.

They finally left the café and parted ways, for reasons they have something needed to do. Minju insisted to walk Chaewon on her house.

Chaewon's house isn't that far from the café besides she also thinks that maybe she could talk to Chaewon while they're walking.

Though she swears she won't force her to open up.

Chaewon look beside her peripheral vision. She can see Minju looking at her direction, probably waiting for her response.

" I know you Chaewon, I know somethings bothering you and Im always here to listen " Minju was worried for her friend.

It's her first time seeing her being so lifelessly, she's thinking that maybe it's because of her parents death that's the only reason she could think of.

But she can tell there's something more than that.

The latter let out a sigh and raised her head to look at her way.

" Thankyou Minju, But Im really fine " She sighed. " Im just tired " She don't know why she's tired she didn't do anything that's tiring this morning.

So she thinks maybe her body is not tired, maybe her heart is.

" Okay " Minju smiled. Like she said she won't force the fellow to talk if she don't want to, she just want her to assure that she's always their beside her no matter what.

Chaewon's all alone, she have nothing left on her family. She only have her friends.

" Im going now "

They just arrived infront of Chaewon's house after the silent walked.

Chaewon nodded her head and faced her. " Thankyouu "

Minju gave her a smile and walk towards Chaewon to gave her a hug, Chaewon might be quiet but Minju knows she needed one.

She needed a hug.

Chaewon didn't hesitate to hug her back, she herself knows she needs it.

" Don't think twice to message me, okay ? " She assured. " I'll be here " She reminded.

As they pull away from the hug, Chaewon nodded her head and wave her hand to Minju and watch her walk away from her position.

And she wished everyone could stay, everyone will be there beside her and won't leave her alone even after death.
