Letters [COMPLETED]

Chapter 13 -2015 What ifs?

Lisa was on her phone. "Hey, you aishhhh!  Okay, you are really testing my patience, huh. This is my 15th message. If ever you got this voicemail kindly give me a callback. We are in Seoul and I want you to meet someone, you idiot!" Lisa left another message and stared at Joohyun.

"What?" The small girl asked because the tall one was giving her an apologetic look.

"I am sorry but I think we won't be able to meet her today. I called her mom yesterday and she also does not know where her daughter is. After she went for her therapy session that annoying best friend of mine didn't bother to go back home. I already told her about our visit last week when I met her. I wonder where is she actually right now."

"Maybe she's just busy and shy?"

"She's not busy at all. I should have put a tracker on her wheelchair. That grr aish." She was being frustrated since she planned this ahead of time. She thought everything was set.

"How is she by the way? It's been years since her accident why is she still doing therapy sessions?" Irene asked being curious.

"I really don't know. I am not a medical expert but she's hurting whenever she tried to put on some weights on her right leg."

"She's been a mystery to me. Why don't you show me her photos so at least I have the idea? Or her name so I can search her on SNS. I should have added her long before." Irene curiously asked. Lisa has been talking about her grumpy best friend for three years but they haven't got a chance to officially meet each other. They planned this a week ago when their schedule wasn't hectic anymore. She decided to accompany Lisa to Seoul. Lisa asked if it is okay with her to stay in her family's place. Irene seemed not to have a problem with it and was excited to meet the Manobans but too bad she's not able to meet Lisa's family since they flew to Thailand for a business trip.

"I purposely do that so you don't have any impression about her. All I know is she could really turn straight girls into gay so you better guard yourself." Lisa warned her.

"Yah! Are you trying to match me with your other best friend? This is not funny. I only agreed to meet her because she's close to you." Irene is so aware of Lisa's other best friend being formerly in a relationship with a woman. She's just clueless about what she looks like and her name. Somehow she secretly wishes Lisa isn't straight to being close with a member of lgbtq+, she does hope something like that is possible. She's actually excited to meet the other best friend. Anyone that is close with Lisa, would really take time to get to know them.

"Baechu, why are you always jumping right away, huh? Come here, Bunny."  Lisa locked Irene in her arms. "Gosh, you smell so good. That's illegal you know. You can hypnotize men with that scent."

Irene blushed because of their closeness. Lisa isn't fond of skinship but she really got comfortable around Irene over years. She then wrapped her arms around the tall girl's waist. "Just men? What about women? Who knows this might also work with women, right? Are you not affected by my scent?" She loves teasing Lisa like this because she wanted to get the same reaction over and over again. A cute red face Lisa. She made sure to tighten her arms around Lisa to keep her close.

"Yah, of course, I am immune to your intoxicating scent even with your farts," Lisa said with her face getting so red.

Irene smirked "I don't think so. Do you know sometimes my curiosity wants me to go beyond what is normal? I wonder what would be your reaction if I kiss you?"

"You can't be serious, Baechu, right? Is this some kind of social experimentation? I won't vouch for it." She tried to distance herself.

"What if I am serious? I rather lose my first kiss to my best friend and I don't feel it weird if we do it." Irene challenged.
