Chapter 3 - Unrequited Memories

"Chaeyoung...?"

Chaeyoung felt her heart drop as she looked up to find Dahyun standing at the doorway while she was holding up Mii's pants.

"My my... At least go out on a date first..."

"No! It's not what you're thinking! Her clothes were all wet but she didn't know how to change! And, and-"

Dahyun walked by and placed the keys on the table.

"Here are the keys to the house. I'll leave it here"

Dahyun looked at Mii, who had her shirt half on and her pants half off.

"It's nice to see that Mii's doing well. I'll go home now and let you guys continue..."

"Wait! What the heck are you talking about, Dahyun?! Listen to what I'm saying!"

Dahyun ignored her and walked towards the front door.

"It's a misunderstanding!"

Chaeyoung grabbed her shoulder.

Dahyun stood there for a moment without saying a word.

"Hey, Chae..."

"Do you remember the festival we went to together when we were kids?"

"Festival? Where'd that come from? That doesn't matter right now, does i-"

Dahyun turned around and slapped her on the face.

Chaeyoung stood there stunned and confused on what just happened.

"You really can't remember anything? You can't remember me?"

Sweat fell from Chaeyoung's face as tears rolled down Dahyun's cheek.

"I'm... sorry..."

"I... all along... all along..."

She wiped the tears from her face before running out the door.

Mii peaked around the corner as she heard the door shut.

She came out to find Chaeyoung rubbing her face before falling to her knees and dropping her head against the floor.

"I don't have any memories of being with Dahyun in the past... Why...?"

She exhaled deeply as her stomach turned.

"Still... Dahyun doesn't have to be so angry... What a day. I've been hit three times and two girls ran out on me twice..."

Chaeyoung moved her head to the side and looked at Mii.

"Mii?"

"It's all your fault..."

That night, Dahyun sat at her desk with her head on the table, thinking back to the night of the fesitival 8 years ago.

"Ah! I cracked it!"

"Aww, Dahyun. You suck at calving out Dalgona"

"Then you try it, Chae!", Dahyun pouted.

"Sure!"

Chaeyoung began picking at the cat-shaped Dalgona as Dahyun watched in amazement.
