Necklace of Fate

The Growth

"Hey.... is that you? Oji-kun?" Chaeyeon said, walking closer to the figure. She was surprised. It had been 2 years since the last time they met. But, her voice startled the cat, he slowly stepped back.

"It's me, Chaeyeon. Easy boy. Do you still remember this?" Chaeyeon put down the bento boxes and grabbed her brown backpack. She took out some cat foods and went down, trying to give to Oji-kun, he slowly approached Chaeyeon and ate the food.

She looked at Oji-kun with caring eyes and slightly pouted because of his previous behavior. "How dare you to forget me?" Chaeyeon kind of spaced out and some precious memories came back in her mind.

(FLASHBACK)

"Ya, Lee Chaeyeon. Look at this. I got this from my grandma" Hyewon showed Chaeyeon the necklace. It had a triangle shape, a red triangle. It was attached at a small chain by a kind of steel crown.

Chaeyeon just glanced on the necklace and said "Are you going to be rich now?" She smirked and continued what she doing, she was edited some audio for her practice dance.

"Maybe? I don't know. Should I bring it to the jeweler? Hyewon chuckled, exanimating her grandma's necklace.

"DONE!" Chaeyeon unplugged her flash drive before stretching her stiff body. She took a look around and spoke "Did you realized that Oji-kun hadn't come to us for almost a week? Weird..."

"He's done with you. You just gave him dry cat food. You should have fed him with some tasty fishes too." Hyewon spat the fact on Chaeyeon's face with a harsh tone. She didn't even bother too look at the latter and kept staring at the necklace.

"I think I'm the one who's done with you." Chaeyeon stood up and said "I'm leaving, don't forget to bring my laptop in class-"

"Nope. I'm a weak girl, don't ask me to lift this old heavy laptop of yours." Hyewon told her, shrugging.

"BYE" Chaeyeon grabbed her flash drive and walked away without minding what Hyewon had just said. She walked in the school, playing with the flash drive in her hands until she reached the greenhouse.

She saw a long raven-haired girl inside. She was holding Oji-kun. Chaeyeon dropped her flash drive. She quickly hid behind the corner. She could feel her heart beating faster and faster at each second.

"Damn it, my flash drive. Why I am even hiding? Shit. Should I just walk out as if nothing happened and find this stupid flash drive?" Chaeyeon leaned against the wall. She put her right arm on her chest, her heartbeat hadn't slowed down. She felt so nervous, her body getting hotter.

Chaeyeon tried to peek and scanned the area for her flash drive, but she got distracted by the girl. She was busy taking a picture of Oji-kun and a few bonsai. "Stop moving, Oji-kun. Come on. Stand still. You look adorable here". Chaeyeon couldn't help but smile like an idiot because of the other. It reminded her the first time she noticed that girl under the cherry blossom tree.

The long raven-haired girl bent down to put a bowl of food for Oji-kun. She tied up her hair in a ponytail, looking at the cat who was eating. Chaeyeon wasn't even blinking anymore. The girl stood up and kept trim her bonsai. She put a lock of her hair behind her right ear, Chaeyeon gulped and felt her heart stopping beating all of a sudden.

She could distinguish a slight smile on the girl's face and how bright she looked at that time. But the view shattered when the raven-haired girl turned her head towards Chaeyeon.
