About a Girl

Chanyeol hasn't been back after studying in Japan for 3 years, he wasn't so sure about what was he was going to expect on his way back to Seoul. He ordered his last sushi from Japan and savored it with Sehun and Suho the night before their flight would take them back to where they all started. They're currently on their senior year, so young, so innocent and both Suho and Sehun still do not know where they're heading, but as for Chanyeol. He is very certain. He'd be a detective and no one can stand in his skeptical side.

"You're not so ready for it, aren't you?" Sehun tried to take Chanyeol's attention but he still wouldn't budge.

"Chanyeol is closed today, sorry, no entry" Suho tried to stop Sehun before Chanyeol could ever throw a fit at him.

"Chaeyoungie.." Chanyeol put down his chopsticks in an aggressive way, to sum it up, its as though he slammed it onto the table, startling the two men.

"Aish, Chanyeollie, we'll have plenty of time to talk about that, just eat your dinner now!" Sehun demanded

"We have a flight to catch tomorrow, you don't want to be left here struggling to eat your meal on a late night, right? so eat up, we're leaving tomorrow at 4:30 AM" Suho advised in a calm manner.

"If I talked to her before I came here, she would've remembered me." Chanyeol still hesitated to take another bite, so eager to fly away back to Incheon University.

"Aish, What did I tell you!?" Sehun lost his temper this time.

"Even I miss Lisa too but I'm patient about it." Sehun clarified himself to motivate Chanyeol to do the same.

"But impatient with me." Chanyeol coldly replied.

"Exactly." Sehun calmed down, in relief for Chanyeol who just found out that Sehun is very impatient with him especially in times when Chanyeol looks like a very mad giant just like this very moment.

"Ya, Chanyeollie, if you cannot eat dinner now, you can try eating heavy breakfast tomorrow. I'm on the dishes, Chanyeol, please, find time to rest, your piano recitals is over, and I really just think its time for you to rest." Suho gave Chanyeol a pat on his shoulder as Sehun helped him collect the dishes, Chanyeol stood up and went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth while the other two helped each other in cleaning the utensils.

Sehun tapped Suho's shoulder, starting a whisper-filled conversation knowing that Chanyeol was just in the bathroom washing up.

"What's up with Chanyeol?" Sehun asked

"He's just regretting things. It's normal for people to regret things when the journey's over." Suho explained in a very brotherly understanding way.

"Who is... Chaeyoung?" -Sehun

"Ya, you don't know the Park Chae-Young?" Suho was surprised that Sehun did not know this lady.

"She's one of the best students around Incheon University, don't you dare underestimate her, she's had her ups and downs, and Chanyeol was there with her."

"If I'm not mistaken, is she the reason as to why he was so serious in the airport?" Sehun asked still whispering as Suho passed a mug to him, soaking it with bubbles on his sponge.

It didn't take long until Chanyeol had finally come out of the bathroom, Sehun tilted his head to his direction and broke eye-contact due to the now-slippery mug that could split if Suho wasn't beside him.

"It's a shame I haven't met her yet."

"She's amazing, especially when it comes to guitar and Japanese language." -Suho

"I'll put that on my checklist. 'get to know Chaeyoung Park' once I return to Incheon."

The two men laughed about it, and thats when Chanyeol found Chaeyoung's instagram account. Well, for sure, no one can beat his popularity on social media, he's also very handsome but seemed to keep very few good friends. "@chaey.park hm, with only 23 posts... she has 100,000+ followers..."

"Chanyeollie, go to bed now please." Suho must've overheard Chanyeol speaking to nobody on his phone.

March 11th 7:30AM
On the way to Seoul, South Korea

Chanyeol wasn't very fond of streetfood places, especially now that there was a COVid breakout, he had to keep extra precautions in that case. Through Taxi, Chanyeol, Suho and Sehun took some time to apply as a return-student at Incheon University, waiting for the results to come out in about 3 days in time before the classes starts.

"Ya, Chanyeollie, isn't that the Park ChaeYoung you were talking about?"

"And is that Kim JiSoo?"

"The KIM JI SOO?" Both Sehun and Suho looked at each other. Chanyeol rolled his eyes at them showing a sign that he cared very less for people he was not interested in. As Chanyeol walked through the hallways of the senior high school department and on the way to the accounting office to pass his application papers including Sehun's and Suho's.

A lovely voice greeted Chanyeol from behind, still quite unfamiliar with this lady who had approached him, she tapped his shoulder which grabbed his attention in the long line as she stood by as the next person to him, "Its me Chaey, don't you remember me?" And at that moment, Chanyeol had completely frozen. "I guess you can't recall." The beautiful young lady stood back in the line behind Chanyeol. "Oh, yes of course I do. You're Park Chaeyoung from class 1 back in high school." He tried to look genuinely happy. The last few memories of him and Chaeyoung were all very hopelessly sad.

Chanyeol wrote Chaeyoung a very heartbreaking letter 3 weeks before his flight to Tokyo, Japan had occurred. He couldn't help but hurt in his heart to remember how much he hurt her, and how much he regretted making her feel like she was just a rebound. He managed to gather himself and leave the senior high school department and left to Suho and Sehun at the park.

"I saw her today."

"Man, you're really obsessed, aren't you?" Sehun seemed to be so annoyed at Chanyeol whenever he felt so negative.

"I'm not... Hopefully."

"What did she say?" Asked Suho.

"She approached me and just said hello, as if nothing ever happened between us." Chanyeol had been feeling so empty in his last 2years in Japan, knowing and remembering the fact that he'll return to the place where he first broke a girl's heart and where he had his first love.

"first love never dies, Yeollie." Suho gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"She's gotten better." Chanyeol stared at the ground, felt so foolish in the past 2 years, why did it only start to hit him like this now?

"If this is what was bothering you in these past 2 years, then you should really do something about it, Chan." Sehun advised.
