The blinding bright morning light peeking through the edge of the venetian blind, illuminating the room little by little. Lots of dirty laundries scatters on the floor near the dirty laundry basket instead of inside it. Books were unorganized, some were on the rack, some on the floor and some at the bed. A few bottles of empty soju can be seen at the table. Above all that, the owner of the room are comfortably sleeping without any disturbance under the warm blanket.
It was a chilly morning since the season will change again in a week, turning to winter. The silhouette continue on sleeping while tucking herself more into the mattress and embracing herself with the warm blanket. She was still in deep sleep and still unconsciously mapped the South Korea with her drool. Even the morning light that trying to reach her face were ignored, or the chirping bird outside her window. Until her ringing phone banging at the nightstand.
Initially, she wouldn't even remove herself from the warm embrace of her blanket and continue on sleeping after letting the ringing stopped. She would just plug her ears with the pillow in case the phone are ring again. And it did for several time before stopped again without she answered it. However, the caller were persistent and keep on calling her after the owner didn't pick up, making her annoyed.
"Hm?" She answer finally without looking who the caller are.
"Where are you?" The caller asked.
"Home." She replied shortly while checking who is calling her early in the morning. 'Witch'
"We were supposed to be discussing about the terms and conditions for the contract. What are you doing at home?"
"What? Can't we discuss it later, I'm sort of busy right now." She replied while getting lull by her blanket.
"Busy sleeping? Be in front of my apartment in 45 minutes. Okay, bye! Safe driving!" the line suddenly went dead.
"UGHHHH!" she shouted into the mattress in frustration. The older girl has been driving her nuts lately. She always command her do things she wouldn't think of doing, like waking up in the early morning just to meet her. It's weekend for food sake, she should be sleep in till evening without worrying for class and playing games or drunk her ass off, cause its WEEKEND. Now, someone just demolish her weekend tradition and it's not the first time. It's three day's in a row already and she couldn't do anything about it. Like, literally.
She spent a few more minutes in her bed before reluctantly start her morning ritual albeit it's too early. With the slight headache that she feel due to waking up too early after slept late, she take her time taking bath. After she finished, she brew herself a strong coffee to reduce her headache. It's unhealthy but it's working. The high amount of caffeine always let her mind be attentive, more concentrate especially with a situation like this. She takes her sweet moment to finish the coffee.
She started to move to the older girl place exactly 45 minutes after she received the call, and her clock shows it's 7.05. She retrieve her car key and her wallet from the nightstand drawer including the phone which was laying on the bed. She step on many stuffs on her way out of her apartment. Even her living room look trash and don't even look at the kitchen. There might be maggots, well actually there isn't since she don't really eat homecooked food. There just dirty dishes and again trash.
