THE NEXT DAY, you and chaeyoung repeat the same morning routine, walking to school together stuck beside each other like glue.

"penny for your thoughts?" you ask chaeyoung, noticing how she wasn't talking and instead staring off into space.

she looks up at you, eyes holding sadness and and doubt in them. chaeyoung rests her head on your shoulder, bringing her hands to encircle around your wrist, walking closer than before.

"i think i like this girl," she says.

you stop walking to stare down at her, but she doesn't notice and continues, however your arm is still in her grasp which causes you to be pulled forward.

"chaeyoung, it's only the second day of school," you say, catching up to her. "who are you talking about?" it suddenly dawns on you who she may be talking about—perhaps a dark haired girl you met yesterday. "dahyun?"

she doesn't say anything. "i will not confirm not deny that statement, however i am asking for your help."

"what do you need help with?" you are sort of surprised she needs your help, seeing as this is chaeyoung you are talking to.

"i don't want to like her—i mean i do, but," she says the last part under her breath. "i don't want to get hurt again."

you sigh, pulling chaeyoung closer to you.

your second year of high school, chaeyoung was in a relationship with a girl named lisa. she would always ditch chaeyoung to hang out with her three other friends, and at times, would even invite chaeyoung somewhere just to tell her they were no longer hanging out, only after she had already arrived and waited an hour. however, chaeyoung never listened to you when you had pleaded her to break up with lisa, knowing how toxic the relationship was. she only did what you asked after the night they had sex—or more like lisa barely wanting to touch or even look at chaeyoung while sharing an intimate moment.

the next day, lisa woke up extra early and threw chaeyoung's clothes over the balcony and into the pool, yelling at her to get out of her house and calling her a slut when she said 'i love you.' it really did suck because the entire time they were together, lisa had another girlfriend also named chaeyoung, but she was from new zealand. lisa ended up dropping out to live with new zealand chaeyoung.

ever since then, chaeyoung had become much more careful with her heart, only giving it to kai and handing him the key, making sure chaeyoung wouldn't make any more stupid mistakes.

this incident explains why she is the way she is, confidently scary to her peers who fear her yet love her.

"i don't think dahyun is like that, chae," you reassure her, causing her to elbow you, mumbling 'i never said it was her.' "fine, fine. let me rephrase that. not everyone is like that. you need to let someone else other than me in at some point, and dahyun—sorry, this person may be the one to change the way you look at things."

chaeyoung takes a deep, shaky breath. "maybe you're right."

"now will you tell me who this person is?" you plead, turning to stand in front of her and taking her hands in yours, shaking them. she smirks as if knowing she would get this reaction from you. "please?"

you continue to shake her now by her shoulders, chaeyoung's loose brown hair getting messy by the constant movement.

"ok, ok," she pleads for you stop, so you do. "i'll tell you. it's—"

"nayeon, no!" you hear a small voice chatises and in a second, two girls come to stand witj you.

tzuyu is behind dahyun, nervously pulling down her skirt that seems to bother her, her tan legs in view for everyone to see. you don't know why that bothers you. her white school shirt is tucked in, her thin waist on view for everyone to see. you don't know why that bothers you. for once, her long brown hair is up in a neat ponytail, her face on view for everyone to see. you don't know why that bothers you.

it's not that she doesn't look pretty. of course not. it's that she looks too pretty.

"tzuyu and i," dahyun starts, taking tzuyu by her arm and pulling her forward. "wanted to say hi, how's it going?"

you move your gaze to chaeyoung who looks a tad better than yesterday, less red in the face and more...pink.

"it's amazing now that you're here—wait what?" chaeyoung stops herself, regaining the red color from yesterday. dahyun's eyes widen in amusement, leaving you and tzuyu to watch the scene unfold. "i mean not like that—of course not. it's just it slipped out of my mouth, and you know when words slip, ha. silly things happen, woopsie daisy," all three of you look to her in confusion as she stares into all of your eyes, blinking rapidly. coughing, she regains her cool persona. "it's going gucci, thanks," she says, her voice deepening slightly.

when dahyun turns to look at tzuyu questionably, chaeyoung turns to you. "nailed it," she whisperes, arm raised in a high five, which you do not give her because she did not 'nail it.'

"anyway, we've got to get to class," dahyun waves, hooking her arm with a shy tzuyu who finds the ground to be rather interesting. "see you around, chaeyoung,"

the attention makes the shorter girl turn almost purple and once dahyun and tzuyu are out of sight, chaeyoung releases a big breath.

"god that was close," she sighs, rubbing her face. "let's get to class."

"yeah whatever," you tease, pushing chaeyoung in front of view as she mumbles bad words under her breath about you.

but, as the universe loves, someone cuts you off again.

"nayeon, no!" you hear voices say and in a second, a tall dark haired girl is clinged to your arm, frowning.

"i saw you with another girl," nayeon says, voice getting smaller and fake by the minute. the other two girls come to stand beside her, panting after running across the school yard to chase their friend.

unlike tzuyu, nayeon didn't care that her skirt was riding up. actually pulling it up higher. but of course you cared, so you reached down, pulling it so i covered the correct length.

"yes, i was," you say, she tightens her grip, now pouting. "but that is none of your business. nayeon, you shouldn't let people see so much of your skin, it's not very respectful to yourself."

she smirks, bringing her face closer to yours. "are you jealous?"

you shake your head, frowning a little annoyed. "nayeon, you should get to class, chae and i have to go."

nayeon kisses your cheek, walking to class with a bounce in her step. after she leaves, you start walking as well. "come on, chaeyoung."

chaeyoung is left behind, watching you retreat before she turns to jungyeon and jihyo.

"what are you still doing here? your boyfriend left," jungyeon says rudely, making jihyo roll her eyes and walk away.

chaeyoung scoffs, hands on her hips. "you know what, go eat nayeon's ass."

"i sweat to god—"

"chaeyoung!" you shout for her again to follow you.

"jungyeon!" jihyo shouts as well.

they both storm off the opposite direction, scowls on their face. if you couldn't tell, chaeyoung and jungyeon really dislike each other. for chaeyoung cared for you and jungyeon cared for nayeon.
