Right when I walked through the gates, I spotted her talking to her friend that was with her at the club.

"Yah, what's wrong?" her friend analyzes her.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Yah, your eyes are totally swollen. Have you been crying??"

"Oh! It's nothing, I was just up watching dramas," Chaerin let out a laugh. But for some reason, something tells me she was lying, and that dramas was not the case.

After talking some more, they both went their own ways and she started walking towards my way. I wanted to call her name to get her attention but there was something about her that wasn't right.

"You know, sometimes it's better to talk it out with people than to keep it in."
