Only Chaeryeong

Part 35: Suspicious

Chaeryeong's perspective:

      Lillian and I had just returned from the skating rink that she had rented, and I was going to show her the note that was on her bed. We entered the room and I showed her the note. She ready it quietly in her head.

    "What the hell?!" Lillian yelled. "There's no way that's my handwriting!"

    "Now that I think of it, you're right. Your handwriting is more sloppy. No offense." I agreed.

    "None taken." Lillian replied. We had both figured out that someone was trying to split us up.

    "Who should we talk to about this?" I asked.

    "Nobody. Not yet at least." Lillian answered.

    "Why not?"

    "I'm tired, I'm upsetting that someone's trying to break us up, and I really need sleep after my head injury." Lillian explained. She had a fair point. "And also, it'd be a good idea to analyze people for a week before consulting to anyone about it I think."

    "Alright." I agreed, laying her down on the bed gently. "But no more banging your head against anything, got it? That was really stupid of you!"

    "Yes honey. I'm sorry I did that. I just had a voice stuck in my head that was telling me to do things I didn't want to do, and I wasn't thinking straight. I won't do it again." Lillian apologized. I forgave her. I gave her a kiss on the lips before standing up to go to the couch.

    "Wait, love, where are you going?" Lillian asked.

   "Oh um. I was thinking that you're still a bit upset at me and need some more time off." I reasoned. Lillian shook her head.

   "Nah, it's fine. We both could've done better I feel like. I should've reminded you about our plan together rather than just assuming you already knew." Lillian explained. "If anything, I need you now more than ever."

    With that, I had gotten to bed with Lillian, where we had fell asleep peacefully together. A week later, we had called the rest of ITZY to Lillian and I's dorm. They seemed very confused, so we had explained ourselves. It was early in the morning before anyone went to work as well.

    "I don't think it was any of us, Lillyeong, we all support you and wouldn't do anything to harm any of you two's relationship." Lia explained. "Lillian, I'm the closest one to you, and not even I would do that, you have to believe me!"

    "Chaeryeong and I believe you. That's why we called you four here, you four are the only ones the two of can trust." Lillian began.

    "We need you four to help us both out." I explained. "We're not asking any of you to betray anyone, but we need a list of people who think it maybe outside of the six of us. Trust no one, not even the ones closest to you."

    Lillian handed everyone an earpiece. Ryujin recognized it immediately as she had used it before. Lillian and I had explained that all of the ear pieces are linked, and that when turned on, we can hear everything thing that's going on.

Ryujin's perspective:

      The task that was being placed on me was rough, as I was told not even to trust my own boyfriend. I had walked around, acting normal while studying people. I had bumped into my boyfriend, Seong Jae of Soul.

     "Oh, hello, babe!" Seong Jae exclaimed. That was something new about him straight off of the bat. He never called me babe, or baby, or sweetie. Heck, come to think of it, he never uses any pet names for me.
