No One POV

"Chaeyoung-a, where were you this afternoon? You said you were going back home but Mina said you-"

"Aaaaaaah!!"

Chaeyoung's scream surprised her and she immediately turn back cause Chaeyoung is walking behind her. When she turned back, she saw Chaeyoung is squatting down, closing her eyes and her ears while screaming and crying. Seulgi immediately dashed toward Chaeyoung and shook the small girl's body.

"Chaeyoung-a!"

"No! No! I have to be quiet! Chaeyoung have to be quiet"

Seulgi widens her eyes. Chaeyoung is back to her past.

"Chaeyoung-a! Wake up! Chaeyoung-a!" Seulgi kept shooking the latter's body and in the edge of bursting out crying seeing her bestfriend is back with her trauma. Finally, Chaeyoung opened her eyes and she looked at Seulgi.

"Se-seulgi-ya.."

"Chaeyoung-a.. You're okay now." Seulgi tries to smile despite her worries to Chaeyoung.

"Se-Seulgi-ya! We-we have to help my dad! He-he's alone! Seulgi-ya help me! Seulgi-ya!!!"

Chaeyoung tried to break away from Seulgi's arm but Seulgi keep her arms around Chaeyoung and hug the latter tightly while caressing her hair. But Chaeyoung keep struggling to free away from Seulgi's arm and keep yelling that she has to help her dad. Seulgi can feels this tightening feels on her chest because she's suppressing her tears on her eyes. She has to be strong for her bestfriend.

"No, Chaeyoung-a.. It's only in the past.. He.. He's gone.."

By saying that, Chaeyoung immediately calmed down and her stressed eyes also become softer and she let Seulgi hugged her. She only stared at the far place can't stop her tearsfall from her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Seulgi said caressing Chaeyoung's hair and back. She let go off the hug and cupped the girl's face wiping the tears with her thumb. Chaeyoung just stare blankly and can't even focus. Seulgi attached her forehead to the small girl's and let her tears fall down freely. She can't see her bestfriend being like this again.

"Seulgi-ya.. I want to go home."

"Yeah, ofcourse. C'mon." Seulgi gets up helping Chaeyoung to get up with her own feet and bring her home.

"Can I sleep with you tonight? I don't want my mom be worried."

Seulgi just nodded her head and held Chaeyoung's shoulder while keep caressing it.

FLASHBACK

Chaeyoung's POV

7 years ago when Chaeyoung still in her 5th grade

The teacher told me to draw my family. It's easy ofcourse. There're dad, mom, and me. I draw it on my paper and colored it with my crayon. I will show it to dad later. I know mom won't be home today because she's on her business trip while dad said that he has no cases for this entire week so he will be home quickly. The bell rang signaling it's time to go home!

I grab my crayon and put it inside my bag and say goodbye to my teacher. About my drawing, I keep holding it on my hand while walking. Seulgi then called me.

"Chaaaeeeeyyyooouuuunngggg" she called me while imitating how Dory in the finding nemo calls the whales. Moonbyul get out from the class and saw Seulgi do it, so she followed her. They keep calling me with that annoying sound. I turn my back.

"Ah! My ears!"

They just smirked and I keep my feet to walk out from the school.

"Hey! You won't coming home with us?" Moonbyul said while running toward me followed by Seulgi behind. I shook my head smiling and showed them my picture that I have been drawing in the class earlier. "I'll show this to my dad!"
