Chapter 14

She was seriously considering it now.

"Good morning!" Chaeyoung's high-pitched, melodious voice sounded like a hammer to the head that morning.

"Don't yell at me," Lisa groaned. The smell of fried egg and fish was so strong that it made her nauseous, she had to cover her mouth to avoid an arcade and walked to the refrigerator in search of ice water.

"I just said good morning?" Chaeyoung tilted her head with a confused tone, chuckling, and served the food on dishes. She worked hard on Saturdays in cooking, she was an early bird and appreciated the importance of the first meal of the day.

Lisa scrunched her nose, opening her mouth as she felt the water burn her dry throat all the way to her stomach, the cold gave her chills. "I feel so bad," she said in a raspy voice.

"Yeah, you should," Chaeyoung agreed, walking around. "You were so wasted last night"

No shit, Rosie.

"Let's not talk about that," Lisa needed to get distracted before shrugging into a ball in the corner and bang her head against the wall as punishment for the idiocy that her drunk self had done.

"Take a pill," Chaeyoung recommended, pointing a finger at the drawer in the kitchen that had a pink container full of medication. Lisa obeyed without complaint, practically jumping towards that Advil.

"Lisa, I don't want to be harsh but"

Oh, Lisa knew that tone and she wasn't in the best state to hear it but she simply sighed, rubbing her forehead after taking the pill. "You're going to be harsh," she nodded resignedly, her eyes burning with the light coming from the balcony.

"Yes," her best friend finished serving and sat elegantly on a kitchen bench, her blue silk pajamas looked as soft as all of her in that morning. Lisa wondered many times how on earth Chaeyoung always looked perfect while Lisa had remnants of mascara making her look like a raccoon. "It was so late last night, 2AM exactly," her tone was disapproving, Lisa didn't roll her eyes because it hurt her physically to do so.

It was not the first time that her best friend did this.

"I hate sounding like a mom but Lisa, your grades came out so low in the last midterms and you still are going out?"

She had a point, Lisa sat down in front of her plate of food and just noticed that beautiful hangover soup, a recipe sent by the gods, a Korean dish that illuminated her face with a song of angels in the background.

Symbolically... I think.

Chaeyoung was an angel, no matter if she was disapproving her night outs, she was always there to cook her a good hangover soup and take care of her.

"Thank you," she sighed gratefully and stroked her friend's arm, who just smiled softly. "I wasn't going to study a Friday at night anyway," she returned to the point, after taking a spoonful.

"But still, it ain't right. You have to focus. You know how it is with your parents," Chaeyoung scolded her as she ate, filling her cheeks with food and looking like a judging squirrel.

Lisa nodded, massaging her temples. "I know, I know, you're right, but it was just one night. I'm going to focus again," she promised, it was also a bad grade among four good ones and she had never been good at studying history, even if it was about photography. "It's just that I've been so busy," her voice became high-pitched as she explained herself, feeling like a little girl.

"I know that but I don't get why you overwork yourself and even get new works, some of them unnecessary, when the time doesn't help you"

Lisa fyrrowed her brows while swallowing another spoon of soup. "All my works are necessary?"
