The Story of Us | Chaerlia

28

The rest of the time, Chaeryeong was clinging onto Lia like a koala, not wanting to let go of her.

"Baby, I have to go to work soon" Lia said, both of them were in Lia's room, they were on the bed watching a movie a minute ago

"Do you really have to?" Chaeryeong asked and started to whine

"I have to baby..." Lia said and sighed

"How about I bring you to work? will that make you feel better?" Lia asked and Chaeryeong looked at her and nodded. It made Lia chuckle, seeing how her girlfriend acts cutely to her.

"I'll go and grab some clothes that you can borrow okay?" Lia said and Chaeryeong nodded, waiting for Lia to give her some clothes to wear

Lia was deciding on what Chaeryeong could wear but suddenly she remembered that Chaeryeong loves to choose whatever Lia has.

"Umm... why don't you pick what you want baby? I mean, you can wear anything that I have in my closet anyways" Lia said and scratched the back of her neck

"Really?" Chaeryeong asked and Lia nodded with a smile

Chaeryeong then excitedly went to Lia's closet and chose some clothes that she could wear for herself. She chose a simple blazer and skirt set and a black undershirt to go along with it.

"Will this do?" Chaeryeong asked, showing Lia the clothes she chose

"You'll look wonderful in that baby" Lia said and chuckled and it made Chaeryeong smile, she hurriedly went to the bathroom to get ready as well. Lia on the other hand waited for her as she was sitting at the edge of the bed. A few minutes later, Chaeryeong went out of the bathroom already dressed and her hair was tidied up.

"So?" Chaeryeong asked as she did a little twirl

"Beautiful my baby" Lia said and went towards Chaeryeong to hug her. she couldn't resist on how beautiful and cute the younger was that she really need to give her a hug.

"I love you" Lia whispered softly

"I love you too Lia" Chaeryeong said back and kissed Lia's cheek, causing the older to chuckle

They both got their things and went down so that Lia could drive them to her work. Once they were both inside, Lia helped Chaeryeong with her seatbelt, making sure that the younger was now comfortable.

"Need anything else baby?" Lia asked

"I'm fine, thank you" Chaeryeong said and giggled

Lia then nodded and put on her seatbelt as well and started the car, when she was starting to dive, Chaeryeong noticed that they were going to another direction.

"Umm... I thought you'll be going to work?" Chaeryeong asked

"I will, but I do have a little appointment at a different place, don't worry it won't be too far" Lia said and Chaeryeong nodded

During the ride, Chaeryeong had fallen asleep and Lia kept glancing at her just to make sure she was okay but later on, they arrived at the destination.

"Baby, wake up" Lia softly said as she caressed the younger's cheeks

"Hmm.." Chaeryeong hummed sleepily

"We're here now baby" Lia said and Chaeryeong slowly fluttered her eyes open, it made Lia chuckle a little

"Did you had a good nap?" Lia asked as Chaeryeong sat up properly

"Yeah... by the way, where are we-" Chaeryeong was cut off when she noticed where they were. They were at her parent's house, it confused her because she thought Lia would bring her to work.

"Why are we here?" Chaeryeong asked as she watched Lia get down from the car and went to her side to open the door for her

"Your parents called me a while ago, asking where you were. I had to bring you home baby, they were worried" Lia said as she removes the younger's seatbelt. Chaeryeong pouted, a little bit sad knowing that she wouldn't be able to spend more time with the older.

Chaeryeong then got down and Lia offered her hand, she accepted it and they both went up to the door. Lia pressed the doorbell button and immediately, the door was opened by Mrs. Lee

"Oh my, thank you so much Lia dear for bringing Chaery home, we got worried as soon as you told Chaeyeon about it" Mrs. Lee said and hugged Lia, thanking the girl

"No worries eomma Lee" Lia said and chuckled as Mrs. Lee let them in

It confused Chaeryeong, how could Lia call her mom as eomma when they didn't even know about it yet. She was sure her parents didn't like Lia much anymore unlike before.

"Did you two had breakfast already? want something to eat? to drink?" Mrs. Lee asked

"W-we're fine eomma.... we already ate" Chaeryeong said, a little bit weirded out about the atmosphere around

"Are they here now?" they heard, it was Mr. Lee, he was just from the kitchen

"Ah there you are, thank you Lia for bring Ryeong home. We wouldn't know what to do without you" Mr. Lee said and hugged Lia as well

"No problem appa Lee, I'll always bring Chaery back home safely" Lia said with a smile

"What's going on?" Chaeryeong asked, now really confused on what's happening

"Lia dear, why don't you go up to Chaeryeong's room first?" Mrs. Lee said and Lia nodded with a smile. The older went up to the younger's bedroom, leaving Chaeryeong down with her parents, confused.

"Eomma, Appa, what's going on?" Chaeryeong asked

"What do you mean?" Mr. Lee asked

"Obviously you're soooo kind to Lia..... I thought you didn't like her much anymore" Chaeryeong said

"Calling her dear, hugging her, letting her call you eomma and appa again..." Chaeryeong added

"Well Lia here asked permission from us if she could date you again. At first we weren't okay with it since we were afraid that she'll leave you again and you get hurt" Mrs. Lee said

"But we already talked with Mr. Choi and it's confirmed that Lia's staying here from now on" Mr. Lee added

"And?"

"We already know that you two are girlfriends again, Lia promised to tell us before she made sure to confess that she still loves you" Mr. Lee said with a smile

It made Chaeryeong tear up, thinking about what her parents would say made her anxious, she thought they wouldn't accept Lia as her girlfriend anymore but she must've doubted them

"Thank you eomma, appa.... thank you for trusting Lia again" Chaeryeong said and hugged both of her parents.

"No need to thank us sweetie, we know that Lia makes you happy so much and we know she'll take care of you" Mrs. Lee said

After parting away from the hug, Chaeryeong hurriedly went up to her room and saw Lia seated on the edge of the bed but she immediately ran towards the older, engulfing her into a hug.

"How did it go?" Lia asked

"Gosh... I love you so much" Chaeryeong muttered, almost sobbing onto Lia's shoulder

"I love you so much too my sweet baby" Lia said softly and kissed the younger's temple
