I feel like this chapter is a bit.. Messy. I'm sorry about that! I hope you like it anyways!~

Jia's POV:

"Who is it?" I asked, my voice shaking and just above a whisper as Chenle sent me a reassuring smile, before standing up.

"I know you're not the best friends, but I promised to hang out with Yeoreum today.." He smiled slightly, before walking out of his room and a sigh escaped me as I leaned against the wall.

I heard the door being opened and soon Yeoreum's voice echoed through the house, which made me roll my eyes.
Two pairs of footsteps became louder and the door was opened again, before the two walked in.

"And then we- why is she here?" Yeoreum stopped mid sentence and gave me a disgusted look, before sitting down as far from me as possible.

"She's.. Having.. It not.. Easy." Instead of sitting down beside Yeoreum, he sat down beside me and started rubbing my shoulder as she rolled her eyes.

"Still." After that had left her mouth, she stood up.
Chenle kept on rubbing my shoulder as my eyes followed Yeoreum, who was pacing around his room.

"I don't get it." She started off and Chenle lifted his head to look at her. "Why does she have to be here? She thought that I was using you!" She continued, her voice raised, making me flinch slightly and I took a deep breath.

"She's my.. Best friend." My lips curved up slightly at the words he said as I tried to wipe the dry tears away.
"But I'm your girlfriend!" After she had said that, Chenle sighed, before nodding, but he continued to rub my shoulder.

"I'm aware."

"Don't you like me anymore?" I raised my eyebrows slightly at her and I felt Chenle shake his head quickly.

"It's not.. Like that!"

"Then why are you acting more in love with Jia, than with me?" Rubbing my eyes, I moved away from Chenle as he gave me an apologetic look and Yeoreum sat down, before wrapping herself around him.

"Now that I have your full attention.." She started saying, before grabbing her phone and I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes. "I found this really nice shirt yesterday an-"

"I bought you one.. Two days ago." He cut her off, which made her lips turn into a pout and she pecked his cheek, making his face turn pink.
"I know, but I really want this one! You always buy me stuff! Why won't you buy me this one?" Her normal speaking turned into whining and I saw him bite down on his lip.

"I can't.. Keep.. Spending on you.."

"What? I can't understand you." She exclaimed and I honestly felt so offended, since he was trying his best and I glared at her, which made her glare back.
"He said, that he can't keep on spending money on you!" I 'translated' for her and she stood up, before crossing her arms and staring at me.

"I'm his girlfriend an-"

"But I'm his best friend." I could see how uncomfortable Chenle looked and I calmed myself down, before she sat down again.

She wrapped herself around him again and started whispering things to him, like she had forgotten what just happened.
He shook his head as a pout found its way on her face once again.

"What's wrong, Chenle?" I asked him in his native language, making him shake his head once again. "It's nothing."

"If you don't want to buy me that shirt, there's this skirt I found yesterday as well, which is pretty cheap actually!" She started tapping on her phone and I shook my head disappointed.

"Oh, by the way.. When's your dear brothers funeral, Jia?" A smug grin appeared on her face, but she didn't look up from her phone and I felt myself tear up.

"T-that's none of your business.." I mumbled, but she ignored me and shoved the phone in Chenle's face. He didn't seem that interested in it and he lightly pushed her away, before scooting closer to me and rubbing my back.

"Now you're paying more attention to her again." I saw him shut his eyes tightly, before taking a deep breath and he turned to her, before smiling slightly.

"She's sad." This made Yeoreum sigh and she looked towards me.

"I'm sorry.. Now I apologized and she's okay again, come look at this skirt!" She waved him towards her and with a shake of the head, he scooted back to her, which made her grin.

"Isn't it pretty?" This made Chenle shrug and she let out a whine when she realized, that he hadn't even looked at the phone. After giving me a glare, she turned his face, so he was looking at her instead of me.
"Why are you so interested in her?" I widened my eyes at her question and I looked at Chenle, who still had his gaze at her.

"Why.. You jealous?" His question made her scoff and shake her head. "Jealous of her? No! I just don't like how my boyfriend pays so little attention to me! I'm your girlfriend, not her!" I began feeling how the atmosphere became more and more serious as he scooted away from her.

"At least she's nice to me." He mumbled mostly to himself, but I managed to hear it and a tiny smirk appeared on my face.

"Stop speaking that language! For all I know, you could be insulting me and ta-"

"But.. I'm not!" He cut her off and she stood up, making him copy her actions. "For all I know, you could be cheating on me with her! It wouldn't surprise me if she stole another girls boyfriend!" Giving me a harsh look, she gritted her teeth and I felt my jaw drop slightly at her sentence.

"I wouldn't do such thing!" I exclaimed, but she ignored me.

"Trust me.. I'm no-"

"But you might cheat on me at some point!" After saying that, she suddenly started crying, just like I had done yesterday in the halls.
"She's my best friend.. Nothing more!" He tried to reassure her and it felt like a stab to the heart, but I knew it was true.

"But admit it, you find her amazingly sweet and beautiful!" She stopped moving around and looked at him, directly into the eyes.

"Of course, she's my b-" He didn't even get to finish the sentence, before she pushed him away and buried her face in her hands.

"If you like Jia so much, then why don't you ask her out instead?" Yeoreum exclaimed, tears staining her face and Chenle rubbed his face, before turning to me with an apologetic look.

"I'm so sorry, Jia, but could you please leave? Just while we figure this out?"
