Within an hour, Eun Ji and Lisa were back at their hostel, feeling relieved to find out they still had an hour and a half left before the special course.
The tension of their interrupted day still hung in the air.Lisa hurled her bag onto the bed and flopped down beside it, letting out a frustrated groan.
"I can't believe this! A single peaceful day, that's all I ask for!" Her voice was tinged with annoyance as she threw her hands over her face in exasperation.
Eun Ji couldn't help but sympathize.She understood that kind of frustration, the feeling of having a day stolen from you.
"I know, Lisa," she said with a tired sigh, leaning back on the cushion near her table. "But we don’t have much of a choice. If we want good placements, we have to keep our scores up. We can't slack off now, not this close."
Lisa peeked out from behind her arms, her face scrunched in irritation. "Still, does it have to be today? We barely had time to relax." She pouted, clearly unwilling to let go of the day’s potential.Eun Ji nodded quietly, staring at the books on her desk.
"Yeah, I get it... I wanted a break too. But it's not worth risking our future over. We'll make time for a proper day off later." She knew she was trying to convince herself as much as Lisa.
Eun Ji scrolled through her mobile wanting to know more details about the special course they were to attend sacrificing their peaceful holiday.
"Art students are going to visit the Studio of Alchemy?" Eun Ji exclaimed, staring at the message in disbelief. "Alchemy? Like, the one from chemistry?" Lisa chuckled from across the room, her amusement at the absurdity evident in her tone.
"I've literally never heard anything about it," Eun Ji continued, shaking her head in frustration. "Are they seriously expecting us to learn something about alchemy? What does that even mean for art students?" She let out a deep sigh, her patience wearing thin. "They are literally trying to break my last bit of sanity.”
Lisa laughed softly. "Relax, Eun Ji. Maybe we'll turn metal into masterpieces or something." Her teasing was light-hearted, but even she seemed puzzled by the odd topic.
Eun Ji groaned. "I signed up to paint, not to become some medieval potion maker." She flopped down onto the cushion, rubbing her temples in exasperation.
Lisa's phone buzzed, upon seeing the ID she groaned “Now what's with him?”, she picked up her mobile “WHAT?” she screamed, she was still laying on her bed.
“Who is it?” Eun ji asked with concern all over face, not for Lisa but for the well being of the person on the other side of the mobile.
“Jungkook, I knowingly didn't let you know about the trip to Gangnam” Lisa Exclaimed, she rose up and sat straight, completely avoiding Eun ji.
“He is so dead now.” Eun Ji whispered knowing the temper of Lisa.
"I’ve heard enough. Let’s meet in the afternoon," Lisa said flatly before hanging up, her frustration palpable. She quickly headed to the washroom, needing to change out of her clothes before heading to college.
Eun Ji remained still, her mind wandering back to the book. The moment Lisa stepped out of the room for a quick walk, Eun Ji found herself unable to resist. She approached Lisa's bag, hesitating for a brief second before pulling out the book.
