Hello Everyone!


Sorry for the long wait, I have a big favor to ask! I am looking for someone who can help photoshop a picture. I am writing a new story but I need a picture for the poster. I have a few pictures that I want but I can't photoshop Chaerin's and Jiyong's face in. If one of you guys can help me,I would really appreciate it. Please send me a direct message and I'll send you the pics :)

I will fully credit you for the picture and I'll send you the first chapter of the story as soon as it's done and before I post it here for everyone ;)

Now on with the story, please enjoy!

 

Two weeks later,

Chaerin sat next to Seunghyun, these past few weeks he has been by her side at all times not giving her a chance to hang out with Minho as much. He has been waiting for Jiyong to arrive to question him as to why he didn't tell anyone about Chaerin as soon as possible.

The couple has been away and is meant to be back on that day, Seunghyun has been inviting everyone out for dinner because he wanted to be the one along with Dara to announce that Chaerin has been found safe and sound.

"Be ready by 7:30, I'll be picking you up" he told her as they were watching a movie

"Everyone will be there right?" She asks in a tone that her fear could be heard.

"Yeah" he answered nonchalant as he didn't pick up the tone of her voice.

"Uh- a friend is actually picking me up.. I don't want to be at the restaurant while everyone is arriving.. I will get there once everyone is there" she confesses

"Who's picking you up?" He asks as his eyebrows furrow

"A close friend of mine, I told him that he could come with me.. I need his support" she confesses

Seunghyun felt a sting on his chest as he heard her words, he wanted to be the one whom Chaerin leaned on for everything.

"It's a family gathering"

"He's family to me" she add

He didn't wanted to push the subject more so he just nodds "fine, be there by 8"

"I'll be close by, I told unnie to let me know when everyone arrives" she admits

He just nods

"Is Bom unnie going to be present? I want her to be there" she confesses

"I don't know" he responds coldly

Chaerin remembers the second time she met Bom when Dara dragged her to a lunch..


Chaerin thought that Bom was close to HaeYin that's why she had that reaction when she first saw her but she was wrong..

 

Chaerin sat next to Dara while Bom sat across them, they had already placed their orders

"So are you dating Seunghyun now?" Bom asks bluntly as she eyes the blonde beauty, jealousy could be read in her eyes

Chaerin was taken aback with the question "what? No" she answered confused "he's someone I grew up with and has been helping me"

"He's with you all the time now" Bom shots back at her

"Bom" Dara raises her voice for her to stop

"He's been super patient and helpful trying for me to remember but we're not super close, I'm as close to him as I am with Dara and YB" she admits

"He likes you" Bom's voice hinted sadness

Chaerin now looks at Dara surprised and Dara nods "I- I didn't know that, he's always so close and trying to help me all the time but I didn't know that it meant something else for him" she admits

Dara looks at Bom then at Chaerin "he wanted to date and propose to you after Jiyong and HaeYin got married" Dara told Chaerin

Chaerin's face was surprised "I-" she shakes her head "I don't see him that way"

Bom smiles now

Chaerin saw her change in behavior quickly, she then spoke to her "please don't think that I like him.. I only see him as an older brother.. I thought his persistence to being close was to help me and not with other intentions"

Bom nods and smiles "thanks for clearing it up for me Chaerin"

"She's very blunt" Dara tells Chaerin

Bom smiles at Chaerin "I have a feeling we'll be good friends"

"Are you close with HaeYin?" Chaerin suddenly asks

"Blunt too.. I like it and yes we're friends but not close" she admits "she likes to keep to herself" Bom adds

 

By the end of that lunch Chaerin was comfortable with Bom and they hugged goodbye, Chaerin had reassured her that she doesn't see Seunghyun in any other way other than a brother.

 "I'll give her a call" Chaerin told him "I'll see you tonight oppa"

He nods "see you tonight"


 

7;15pm

Chaerin felt nervous as she dressed that night, Dara told her to dress formally as the restaurant was a bit known for being formal. She had seen as Dara left the house in a red dress with a coat on and she was planning on the same thing.

She wore a black short dress paired with a black coat, she put a pair of black Louboutins heels and her blonde hair straight and her usual make up. She looked very much like the girl on the pictures but for some reason she felt as if the girl on the pictures looked sweet while wearing those clothes while he felt cold, she felt like she looked intimidating.

She shook her head when she heard the door bell ring, she opened the door and saw her friend and confidant Minho. He looked handsome in his black trousers and black shirt, he looked casual yet dressed up.

"You look beautiful" he complimented her with a grin

"Thanks" she smiles "you look handsome"

He smiles "all for you"

She grins "should we go?"

"I think so, it's a few minutes drive" he admits

Chaerin nods and walks back inside to get her purse before she locks the door and walks out to meet him, she walks to his car and with his help she gets in the passenger seat.

It was about a 10 minute ride and they were finally in the restaurant parking lots.

"are you nervous?" He asks her while she only looked outside the window, he could tell she was nervous.

"I am, everything will change and I don't remember much" she admits

"What do you remember?"

"Almost nothing, I know I was close with Dara, YoungBae and Seunghyun, I don't remember my relationship with my sister much.. Dara told me Jiyong and I were super close and started drifting apart when he started dating my sister" she admits

"And Bom?"

"I just met Bom, she wasn't a part of my past"

Minho nods "Maybe talking with her will help you clear your head, asking about everyone's character, how they are and behave.. it could help coming from a neutral perspective"

"You're right, I need to talk with her" she said then all of a sudden she got a text from Dara saying everyone was there, and that the name she needs to

But the only thing i didnt get was haeyin's hatred towards chaerin.she wanted to get jiyong because she didn't want her sister to have him but not because she loved him.I'm just curious on what caused haeyin to hate chaerin somuch.Were they treated differently like one was favoured n other was ignored???
I enjoyed the fic a lot and thanks for writing this.

Chapter 25: I am more than pleased to see Jiyong and Chaerin finally together but I'm quite disappointed that Haeyin won in the end by having her parents side with her. Sorry but I disagree with Chaerin for not telling her parents. I'm disgusted with the way her parents treated her. Unreal!

This story had such an interesting premise with lots of potential angst within the characters but it ends up with cliche black or white figures without depth
