ROSÈ.
Waking up in my room confused me knowing i was in the living room sketching a cover design for my album. I fixed my bed and put my hair on a bun as i washed my face in the bathroom.
It's 10AM and i don't have a schedule. I really had a good 8 hours sleep. I will missed this because soon, i will have to wake up early and go to sleep late. I'm not complaining.
I can confirm that i'm workaholic. Whenever i have a project, i made sure everything is perfect and i don't want any less. I'm also glad my team would let me have an opinion and to the workers we teamed up.
And now that it's my album we are working on, it's a must to give 200% of perfection.
When i walk into the living room, it was cleaned but there was a comforter on the couch.
Only one person has the spare key of my apartment. And i smiled as i know who is it.
My doorbell buzz and a minute after, my mushroom bestfruend came in with a take out food
"Lisa!!!" I shouted and run to her.
"Chaeyoung! Haha! You missed me that much?" She said trying to hug me back despite the plastic bags on her hands.
"Of course! I always miss you! Were you the one who put me to bed?" I asked not letting her go in my arms.
"Yeah. I bought breakfast. Let's eat?" She asked.
"I'm starving, let's eat."
I help her brought our breakfast in the dining table. She bought rice meals and pancakes and waffles and Starbucks coffee.
We didn't bother to put the take out in plates. The food are arranged in a wooden box so yeah.
"How you've been, lis? You forgot you have a bestfriend in Seoul." I asked, pouting.
"L-O-L Chaeyoung. You're the very first person i visited after finishing and passing my final term paper." Lisa chuckled.
"Good then. So how was it? When's the big day? I'll ask my manager to save the date for me so i can support you." I answered.
"It's on the 15th next month. 6PM. It's okay if you can't be there. You're preparing for your album right? I saw the sketches and sheets."
"I should be there. I'm your bestfriend. I must be there like how you were there on my d-day. And yes, i'm preparing for my very first mini album." I smile widely.
"I know. I'm not asking for you to be there when i know you're busy."
I sip some ice tea.
"So.. did you get the 3rd highest honor?" I changed the topic and i saw how her smile drop and face grim.
"Someone decided to use her body to get it." She sighed.
"That's not fair!"
"It is not fair, yeah. But everyone has been offered."
Her eyes are sad. I know how a big deal getting the honor for Lisa.
"I thought..i thought i did great choosing the uni where my family has no connection on it. But, gosh, i was wrong! I asked the past honors and they did slept with the professors just to claim their title."
I held her hand. "I'm so sorry you have to experience that. You've work so hard and you didn't get what you deserve."
"I lost my motivation. I lost my will to be what i want to be. God, they are all f--ng lawyers! Professionals, judges in the town and.. and--"
I stood up and hugged her. Her head is in my tummy.
"There will be people.. There will be peple who will take advantage of a situation just to have what they want. But please don't blame yourself. You did the right thing, okay? If they can't give you that honor, work on topping the licensure exam. Or just.. be on the Top 5."
She sobbed. "I don't know what will my parents say. They are expecting me to be on top 3 of the class."
"To hell with their expectations! Even if you tell them a valid reason, they won't accept it. Please, Lisa. Don't live wanting approvals from everyone." I broke our hug and held her face.
"You own your life. You control your own life. Don't let people treat you like some puppet, okay?" I smile and go back to my seat.
"I spoil this night, i'm sorry." She said.
"It's fine. We ask how's each other so.." i shrugged.
"Lisa." I called after a while.
"Mmm?"
"Please don't walk away to what makes you happy..please don't walk away on your chosen field just because some people tainted it. You have to power to change it."
"Thank you, really." She smiled at me. "I saw your sketches. How about you tell me about it?" She changed the subject.
I smiled widely, excited about the good news. "The company is going to release my first mini album!" I almost shouted.
Her face lit up. "That's amazing!"
"I was surprised myself when i read my manager's message and i couldn't help but try to design my album."
"You should. You know arts. You do arts. And i know your fans will be happy to see you pursuing your love for arts."
Lisa knew everything. Like i tell her everything that happens. I even tell her how was my fan meets and who i meet. She's my human diary (kind of) because i have few secrets i couldn't confess.
And despite our distance, the friendship we have breaks it. We mostly leave our phones or laptops on so we could catch up in anytime we see it open. We broke so many laptops for that but we didn't care. We love what we are doing and it's fun.
In one of my lives, i told my fans my love for arts and showed them some of them.
"And i know you dreamt of opening a gallery or maybe an exhibit. And i'll be the first to line for tickets." She said. "I'll make sure i'll be the first one to get before your fans."
"You know that i can reserve one for you or just be my VIP." I chuckled.
"Nooo! You know i always love to wait for my turn or be a normal fan."
I smiled. Then i thought of her stay and my smile was gone.
"What's wrong?" She asked immediately.
"I'll be busy. I won't be with you in your stay here."
Oh god, i missed her so much i wanna be with her during her stay here but works comes in.
"It's fine. I can send you to your work place and fetch you at night. I can bring you lunch if you want. You know there's so many ways to be together. It might be short but at least we see each and be with each other, right?" She gave me reassuring smile.
The bright smiles that always reminds me, she'll be with me no matter what and that she's proud of me. That bright smiles that's telling me everything will be fine.
"Thank you, Lisa."
"I say the same."
And we had an amazing breakfast as we catch up on our lives.
