The Story of Us | Chaerlia

10

It wasn't really going that well for Chaeryeong in the past few days. She hardly goes out with her other friends and she always wanted to be alone.

Even at school, she would be alone most of the time even when Yuna would ask if she wanted to hang out she would still say no. It was heartbreaking for Chaeryeong, Lia broke up with her on the day before their second anniversary. She thought everything was alright, there weren't problems in their relationship but Chaeryeong guessed that Lia was right.

She was dependent on Lia, always asking for help with homework and anything that was connected with school stuff. She refused to even eat lunch at school, she said she didn't have the energy to do so.

Of course her teachers have noticed this and tried to talk with her but none of them were able to talk it out of her.

Another thing was that Chaeryeong's parents were starting to worry, Chaeryeong wasn't failing badly but she wasn't just as confident with her own works anymore. She didn't put much effort on projects and assignments that were given to her. The Lees weren't just afraid of that but it seems like Chaeryeong was trying to overwork herself.

Since Lia is now gone, Chaeryeong had to teach herself on her own. She would be out to the library until late evening just to learn the topics that they discussed in school, she would stay up all night just to finish her other homeworks. Let's just say Chaeryeong was taking a pile full of work and it was really unusual.

"Chaery, it's already 11, you have to go home now" Yeji said, well her other friends didn't want to leave her alone especially at this hour.

"I need to study unnie, just give me a few more minutes" Chaeryeong said and Yeji sighed. She went back to the table where Yuna, Ryujin and Minji were. Oh yeah, Ryujin and Minji are together now.

"So?" Ryujin asked

"She still doesn't want to. She's overworking herself" Yeji said and sighed

"I'm worried that Chaeryeong unnie might get sick" Yuna said and frowned

"How long has she been like that?" Minji asked

"More than two weeks already? its been long since Lia unnie left" Ryujin said and sighed as well. Of course it made her sad to see her best friend sad. Chaeryeong was always cheerful, whenever and wherever it could be.

"We can't just leave her alone here unnies. We're the only ones left in the public library" Yuna said

"Should we call Chaeyeon unnie? or their mom?" Ryujin asked

"I think Lee eomma is better, Chaeryeong would listen to her" Yeji said and Ryujin nodded

As they were about to call Chaeryeong's mom, Chaeryeong was already sleeping with her head resting on her arm.

"She already exhausted" Minji said

"Hurry up and call eomma Lee" Yuna said and Ryujin did as so. After a few minutes, eomma Lee arrived at the public library and went towards the girls along with appa Lee

"We're really sorry girls for making you wait on Chaery" eomma Lee said apologetically.

"I's okay eomma Lee, we just want to keep an eye on Chaeryeong unnie" Yuna said

"Thank you so much girls, you can go home now or should we drive you home?" appa Lee asked

"It's fine appa Lee, I can drive us back home. Go home safely too" Yeji said and bowed. The girls then left the public library.

"Chaery sweetie, we need to go home now" eomma Lee said softly to their daughter

They kept on trying to wake her up but the younger won't budge. Eomma Lee then decided that she would bring Chaeryeong's things while Appa Lee will carry her bridal style put of the library.

They put Chaeryeong inside the car gently and then went home. They did the same thing when going back inside the house.

"She fell asleep again?" Chaeyeon asked and their parents nodded.

"I think it's best if we go out tomorrow, to clear Chaeryeong's mind" appa Lee suggested and they nodded

They were all worried for Chaeryeong.....
