The Story of Us | Chaerlia

It was Monday already, Chaeryeong and Lia were together in the library and as usual, Lia was teaching Chaeryeong about a lesson they have.

"So you just have to make sure that you can identify it quickly okay?" Lia said and Chaeryeong nodded with a smile

"Thank you for teaching me again, I know it's not that easy for you" Chaeryeong said worriedly

"Hey, it's fine baby, don't worry about it" Lia said and kissed the younger's temple.

After theur little teaching in the library, they went to class once again and their teacher was giving out some activity sheets. Unfortunately Chaeryeong and Lia werenMr seated together which made Chaeryeong kind of nervous to answer the activity.

Nonetheless, she tried her best to answer it without the older beside her. She was happy on how she accomplished it and it didn't worry her too much.

"How was the activity for you?" Lia asked the younger

"It was okay, I'm satisfied with my answers actually" Chaeryeong said with a smile

"I'm glad to hear that, hmm, should we go out with Yeji and Yuna today after class?" Lia asled

"Sure!" Chaeryeong said happily and they went to their extra classes first before going out with Yeji and Yuna.

Chaeryeong had dance class along with Yeji while Yuna had some extra academic classes. Lia on the other hand was waiting for them by the stairs like always. As she was waiting she suddenly received a call from her mom.

::::::

"Have you decided already Lia?"

"Just wait mom okay? I'm trying to figure something out"

"You better be or not you're not going to study in the US anymore Lia. We're not definitely helping you when you continue to study here"

"I know mom, just wait. I'm waiting for something"

"And what is it?"

"Just give me some time and I'll finally give you an answer"

"But you only have a few days left Lia. Finals are coming and if you rank first along with Chaeryeong again you know what will happen to you"

"I understand, but give me time mom, I promise I'll tell you as soon as possible"

"As you should"

:::::::

Lia sighed as she ended the call. She thought of something and think that it was better if she went off to study instead of hanging out with Chaeryeong, Yeji and Yuna.

She sent a message to Chaeryeong saying she had something important to do back in their house in case Chaeryeong finds for her.

As soon as Chaeryeong was done with dance practice she saw the message.

"What's wrong?" Yeji asked as she saw the younger's expression.

"Lia unnie can't join. She has something important to do" Chaeryeong said and Yeji nodded

"We can still hang out tho, Yuna wants to go out today actually" Yeji said and it made Chaeryeong smile.

Chaeeyeong then just joined Yeji and Yuna for their hang out today. They went to a café and talk a little. Yeji and Yuna even drop her off at her and Lia's place.

"Baby~ I'm back-" Chaeryeong was then silent when she realize that Lia wasn't at their place. She forgot that the older was at her parent's house. She sheugged it off and went to her room to rest.

Few days passed by and Lia was being a bit distant from Chaeryeong. Chaeryeong wondered why but decided not to bother her girlfriend. Maybe she's just really busy right?

She didn't have a problem with that but she was curious why Lia doesn't stay in their shared condo much anymore. Lia would always say that she had important things to do or she had some academic classes out of school.

"You seem thinking hard" Chaeryeong heard and turned her head to see her sister

"Oh, hi unnie" Chaeryeong said and forced out a smile

"What's wrong?" Chaeyeon asked her

"Lia unnie seems to be distant from me recently. I don't know what's wrong with her"
Chaeryeong said and sigjed

"Maybe she's just busy" Chaeyeon said

"Busy enough to not message me back? she's been ignoring me for days now. We're not sitting together during class like we used to. She doesn't teach me anymore because she said she has this stupid academic classes out of school" Chaeryeong said

"Maybe a family matter?" Chaeyeon guess

"She hates her parents, no way she would do something for them" Chaeryeong said and crossed her arms.

"Just be patient Ryeong, maybe she's preparing for your gusy anniversary. It's in two days now" Chaeyeon said

"I guess so..."

"Did you got her anything?" Chaeyeon asked her sister

"Mhm, I got the both of us some matching necklaces. It looms pretty actually since it jas a heart pendant" Chaeryeong said with a smile

"I'm sure she'll love it when you give it to her" Chaeyeon said and Chaeryeong nodded with a smile

Since it was almost dismissal time, the two went off to go home. Chaeyeon decided to bring her and Chaeryeong to their parent's house since Chaeryeong doesn't have anyone with her in the condo.

"How was school my babies" Mrs. Lee greeted as she gave each of her daughters a kiss on the cheek.

"It was okay, eomma, aced my math test" Chaeyeon said with a smile

"How about you Chaeryeong?" Mrs. Lee asked

"It was fine... I guess" Chaeryeong muttered

"I got a B+ in physics" Chaeryeong said and sighed

"Hey, that's a nice grade already sweetie, I'm proud of you" Mrs. Lee said and hugged her daughter

"Go on and get changed, I cooked tteokboki for you girls" Mrs. Lee said and it made Chaeryeong smile.
