The days that followed were an uncharted territory for both of them. Chiquita continued to pursue her relationship with Ahyeon—though she found herself withdrawing more and more from the celebration, the parties, the things that used to excite her. She spent less time with her usual crowd, her thoughts often drifting to Asa.
And Asa? She returned to her studies, trying to focus on her goals, her dreams. She didn't know what to make of Chiquita's apology, didn't know if she could ever fully trust her again. But she was willing to give her the time to show that she had changed.
The road ahead wasn't going to be easy for either of them. The past couldn't be undone, and Asa knew that it would take a long time for the sting of betrayal to fade. But for the first time in days, there was a small spark of hope, a fragile belief that things might be different.
And for now, that was enough.
