The Story of Us | Chaerlia

12

Lia was on her way to school, driving to the campus like she always does but then she got a random message from an unknown number

[ Hey Lia, I was just wondering how you're doing there in the US ]

Lia furrowed her eyebrows but she ignored the message and continued to drive to school. Once she arrived, she parked the car and then made her way to her class. When she reached the classroom, her phone was buzzing with notifications once again.

"Aren't you going to check that?" Somi asked Lia, she's sharing a class with her today.

"Maybe just some spam notifs" Lia replied and Somi nodded

"Hey, I just wanna ask, are you going back to Korea if ever you're done studying here?" Somi asked her

"Why the sudden question?" Lia looked at her confused

"Just asking because you might want to come along with me, I'll be going back after graduation" Somi said

"I'm not sure, I don't have any reasons to go back anyways" Lia said and Somi just nodded

"Didn't you have like a girlfri-" Somi was cut off when Lia glared at her. It made Somi wonder why Lia doesn't like people mentioning she had a girlfriend

"I told you not to mention it" Lia said and looked at Somi angrily

"I'm sorry, I was just curious and wondered why did the two of you broke up. It would be weird if you guys did it just for studies" Somi said and rolled her eyes on Lia. She was getting annoyed by how the older girl was acting.

Lia rolled her eyes back on Somi and continued to what she was doing, which was reading her book.

"So all you have to do is show the solution and then you write the final answer here" Nayeon said, she was teaching Chaeryeong right now since she always noticed that the younger was having a hard time studying.

Chaeryeong nodded in response and continued to do her homework.

It was lunch time and Chaeryeong's next class was not until 2pm. While that was happening Chaeyeon was now rushing around finding for her younger sister.

"Oh my gosh, I was finding for you everywhere!" Chaeyeon exclaimed and brought Chaeryeong to a hug. She got so worried when her sister left the house earlier than usual.

"I just went to school unnie" Chaeryeong said

"I know but you should've told me you would go earlier. I would've come with you" Chaeyeon said and sighed

"It's fine Chae, Ryeong was just doing her homework as usual" Nayeon said, trying to calm down Chaeyeon

"I was just too worried unnie" Chaeyeon said and Nayeon nodded

"Is Ryeong unnie here?" they heard and turned their heads to see Yuna with books in her arms.

"What is it Yuna?" Chaeryeong asked

"We should go and get ready for class unnie" Yuna said and Chaeryeong nodded quickly.

"I'll get going first now unnies, oh and thank you Nayeon unnie" Chaeryeong said and walked out of the library along with Yuna.

"You're worrying too much Chae" Nayeon said and patted Chaeyeon's back

"How can I not? she was sick two days ago and she just got better last night. She's being too hard on herself lately and she doesn't even get much sleep just to study" Chaeyeon said, almost tearing up. She cannot afford seeing her sister in pain, more on when she loses her.

"That's why we'll keep an eye on her, don't worry Chae, she'l be fine" Nayeon said and Chaeyeon nodded

Nayeon then went to class after leading Chaeyeon to hers.

Chaeryeong was now in class, along with Yuna. She was listening peacefully to their teacher when suddenly a knock on the door was heard. The teacher opened it and it revealed one of their other teachers.

"May I excuse Ms. Lee?" the other teacher said and Chaeryeong was then excused. She went out of class and talked to the teacher

"What is it Ms. Park?" Chaeryeong asked

"Well, I just wanted to tell you some good news" Ms. Park said with a smile

"Really?!" Chaeryeong asked excitedly and Ms. Park nodded

"You got an A on your last quiz and then your other teachers are so happy that you're doing great in class" Ms. Park said and it made Chaeryeong smile widely. All her hard work was paying off, she couldn't be anymore happier.

"Thank you so much Ms. Park! eomma and appa will be so excited to hear this" Chaeryeong said and it made her teacher chuckle

"I'm sure they'll be so proud. Go on back to class,we can talk about this again later" Ms. Park said and Chaeryeong nodded. She went back inside the classroom and sat beside Yuna.

"What was it unnie?" Yuna asked curiously

"I'll tell you later" Chaeryeong said and Yuna nodded

Time Skip >>>>>

"Can you tell me now unnie~" Yuna asked cutely to the older

"Ms. Park told me I got an A in my quiz" Chaeryeong said and Yuna was happy to hear the news from the older

"Really?!" Yuna asked and Chaeryeong nodded. Yuna then immediately hugged the older

"I knew you could do it unnie" Yuna said cheerfully and they parted away from the hug

"We should celebrate unnie, and tell the others" Yuna said and Chaeryeong nodded with a smile.

They called for the other unnies and told them they could all wait at the café. Chaeryeong just needed to get something from the faculty before she follows them there.

"I'm so proud of Ryeong, she finally gets something she deserves" Jihyo said and the others agreed

"eomma and app will be so happy" Chaeyeon said with a smile

They were all waiting for Chaeryeong at the café and Chaeyeon was on the lookout, she was making sure that Chaeryeong would get to them safely as well. She then saw her sister who was about to cross the road but then....

"CHAERYEONG!!!" Chaeyeon screamed, causing the people in the café to look at her
