C'EST LA VIE (Completed)

Chapitre 37 - Libération

Gyeonggi-do | 2020

"Please sign this, Miss Son"

Chaeyoung signs the papers.

"Also this"

"Here's your belonging, you may want to check it first"

"Okay, thank you, officer"

"Yes, enjoy your freedom, and don't come back here, Miss Son"

Chaeyoung then opens the door and the police open the big door for her. The sun comes and greets her, being able to see the sun outside like this is a fascinating memory for her. The past year she could only enjoy it in the field guarded with so many police and also from her tiny window cell.

She put her bag down, and she open her arms to the air feel the breeze and smells the fall weather. She's officially free now.

"Oh my God, you're so tacky" A voice interrupted her.

"Oh my God, what are you doing here?" Chaeyoung ask.

"My parent kind of pushed me to pick you up"

"Since when you listen to your parents? Oh, come on Gabriel, admit it that u miss me"

"Miss you?" Gabriel then laughs, "No way".

"You are so cruel, Gabe. I know that you're a busy guy, but really for the whole year, you can't really make your time and visit me here, really? Only a few times you called me? Really?"

"I am sorry. I was in Singapore the past year. Anyway, here" Gabriel throw something to Chaeyoung, Chaeyoung catches it.

"Whoo, you're so thoughtful bringing me tofu. Sweet"

Yugyeom feels irritated because Chaeyoung teased him.

It's funny seeing their relationship now, Yugyeom used to teased Chaeyoung a lot and bothered her. But now, Yugyeom kinda tries his cool approach to Chaeyoung, but still, he cares about his best friend a lot.

"Let's go"

Chaeyoung then hops on to his car.

"Don't tell me that my parents throw a homecoming party or something?" Chaeyoung ask.

"Kat, please, don't expect too much, you'll get sad once you find out no one waits for you"

"Whoa, that's hurt. But I know them, for certain that all of my colleagues will be there"

"Overconfident!"

Chaeyoung then rests a bit in the car seat, looking outside and just stare and the road. Can't believe that she just spent 15 months in a prison.

"Don't tell me that you miss that place already"

"Me? Hem kind of" Chaeyoung put her head to the window.

"You made friends there, really?"

"They're not all bad people. I mean, yeah what we did was bad, but we all repent for our mistakes. Besides, I like it there, it was quiet and peaceful"

"Wow, prison suits your personality well"

Chaeyoung smirk.

To be honest she's scared now. There's this anxiety in her life that she knows that she could never pass on. Coming back home, meaning she'll be back to Seoul again, to her jobs again, and it means all the memories about everything about her will all pop out.

She misses her.

She misses her so much.

"Before you ask, I just want to tell you that I don't know either. They both disappear. Minseo handed her resignation soon after the trial, and I was offered to another job and had to train overseas, I had no news on them after that. Some say that they moved to another city, some say they migrated as well. We don't know for sure"
