Chaeryeong's POV

What if unnie can't find my necklace? I won't be able to have it with me anymore. I can't lose it, that's the only thing left I have that reminds me of Lia unnie, I can't take it to lose that as well if I already lost her.

"Chaeryeong, I'm sure Chaeyeon will bring it back to you" Yeji unnie said but I just nodded slowly. I don't feel very well at the moment, I don't have much energy to talk to them.

"Unnie, do get better. We miss you already" Yuna said as she held my hand. I miss them too but I'm not sure if I could go back to school at the moment, I'll be having a hard time again.

While they keep on encouraging me to get better and comforting me about the necklace, someone went in. I looked up and saw both eomma and appa, they both look at me with a smile

"You're finally awake sweetie" eomma said with teary eyes as she went over to me on the bed.

"How are you feeling sweetie? does anything hurt?" appa asked me and I shook my head in response. Eomma then kissed my temple and hugged me from the side, I guess I made them worry too much that they even have to go here immediately after work.

"I found it now Ryeong" I heard and then saw Chaeyeon unnie enter the room. She went over to me and then put the necklace around my neck.

"What's that sweetheart?" mom asked Chaeyeon unnie

"Oh, she told me to get it, she won't stop crying a while ago" Chaeyeon unnie told them

"Who is it from sweetie?" appa asked

"Lia unnie" I simply said. I know they wouldn't be very happy about it but I just don't want to lose the necklace that we both had for the first time of being girlfriends. I don't care if I lose mine but hers was more important for me

"We'll be leaving first Mr. and Mrs Lee, and Chaeyeon" Yeji unnie told them and my family nodded and bid them goodbye. I knew why, maybe because eomma and appa wanted to talk to me

"You miss her, don't you?" eomma said and I just kept quiet. They might go on and on telling me that I should forget about Lia unnie.

"Hey sweetie, your mom is talking to you" appa said and I sighed

"You all know I miss her, I don't have to explain it to you guys anymore" I told them and laid down on my bed and covered myself with the blanket

"We're just worried sweetie, you can't just go on with this" eomma said, I was about to talk but then Chaeyeon unnie cut me off

"Eomma, appa, I think it's better if we leave Chaeryeong be. She misses Lia and we can't do anything about it. They've shared a lot of memories together and Chaeryeong just doesn't want to lose any of those" Chaeyeon unnie explained to them and both eomma and appa just gave in.

I tried myself to go to sleep because I wasn't really in the mood. The doctor might go here in a while to check on me and let me eat.

Days after....

"Yes, thank you Somi I really appreciate it" Lia said to the taller girl

"No worries, well I do hope you get to see Chaeryeong again. I'll be off now" Somi said and waved goodbye to the older

Lia then went to call for Yeji to pick her up if she could since she doesn't really know the place where her dad got her a condo.

"Lia!!" she heard and she turned her head to see Yeji walking towards her along with Yuna

"Oh hi Yeji" Lia said with a smile and waved hello

"Thank god your back, we thought you'll stay there forever" Yeji said and hugged Lia
