"Chaengie?"

"What's up Lis, I thought you had class right now? Why are you home so early?" Chaeyoung asked from the couch. She had been in the living room playing her guitar, trying to compose her next song when she heard the door click. She thought it was Jisoo because Jisoo had texted her that she'd be home soon.

"Oh, well. Yeah I kind of lied. I just needed Jennie not to know I wasn't busy so that I could talk to you in private without arousing suspicion so I told you all we rescheduled dance rehearsals for today."

"What's going on Lis?" Chaeyoung asked worriedly. "Why would you lie?"

"Well, I had to. I made my first big sale this weekend, with that picture of Santos."

"You made a lot of sales off of that picture though, what do you mean?" Chaeyoung asked curiously. Lisa's studio opening had been a hit after all. She'd sold multiple copies of every photograph she had up and her studio was very popular ever since then. Lisa's photobook already had hundreds of preorders.

"Jessi and Mrs. Kim took it upon themselves to teach me a lesson about the prices of my pictures." Lisa offered.

"Oh goodness, they hustled someone didn't they?" Chaeyoung said, giggling.

Jisoo got her deviousness from Mrs. Kim after all, and Jessi was her best friend so she was obviously just as cunning. She wouldn't put it past them to hustle money out of someone.

"They told me it was for the new university president, the one that took over after Jennie's sperm donor got fired so they had me print out an eleven by eight foot picture of Santos pointing his rifle despite being hurt. They're putting it in the art building apparently."

"I didn't even know you could print a photograph that big." Chaeyoung said, bewildered.

"You can't. I had to print it off in sections and then I'll put it together there. Anyway, the point is that since it's so big and it takes a lot more work, they lied about the price I set.

They both convinced him that since I technically graduated from SNU from photography already because of my fellowship, that it would be great publicity since I won that IPA so he could use that as a recruitment incentive for students interested in photography, so yeah. They hustled him. He took the bait despite it being a ridiculous amount."

"Well, honestly I think they were right. Your pictures are beautiful and you should be charging more but I don't understand why you needed Jennie out of the house to tell me that. You know she'd be ecstatic."

"They hustled him out of thirty thousand dollars Chaengie."

"Holy shit Lis! You made that much for one photo?!" Chaeyoung said incredulously, rushing up to hug her, feeling incredibly proud of her best friend. "Wait, I still don't see your point. This is really great news. Are you trying to surprise Jennie or something so you can break the news?"

"Sort of I guess. It's something like that. I just can't do it yet."

"Why not?"

"Because, that money was the exact amount I needed to finally be able to afford this." Lisa said, pulling out the ring she had bought just an hour ago.

"I knew you were going to propose." Chaeyoung said, smirking when Lisa opened the box.

"Of course you knew, you always know." Lisa said, rolling her eyes good naturedly.
