The buzzing of her phone made the girl grab the device and look at it. A smile formed on her lips and she quickly typed a reply and sent it away. Her hand reached out towards the pen when it had placed the phone of the desk surface and se began writing on the paper she had in front of her.
Her smile never left her lips and she stood up from her seat and made her way towards the wardrobe to find clothes that would be fitting for her plans for the day.

The girl on the bed didn’t even react as the door to room opened. She glanced at the person that had entered but quickly went back to read her book as she saw the girl slowly closing the door behind her before she made her way towards the bed.
“Hi!” Jessica said and stopped beside the bed where Taeyeon was lying. A kiss landed on the girl’s forehead and she looked up at Jessica that beamed a smile at her.
“Where have you been the whole day?” Taeyeon asked as she had expected Jessica to show up earlier.
“I was taking care of Cameron, Harley, Jess and Kim Jr., and then I went shopping with my mom and Krystal.” Jessica said and took a seat on the bed beside the girl.
“Oh, I see, was it fun?” Taeyeon asked and returned her focus to the book in her hands.
“Not exactly.” Jessica said and frowned. Her eyes widened as she just remembered something and she shook Taeyeon’s leg to earn the girl’s attention.
“Did you know we’re wearing plants?” Jessica asked wide eyed. Taeyeon blinked confused before she looked down on the t-shirt she was wearing before she looked up at the girl again.
“You’ve completely lost me now.”
“No, but I realized it when mom and Krystal was buying clothes. Clothes are made of cotton, right? And cotton is from plants. So we’re technically wearing plants.”
“Yeah, so?”
“But it’s so weird! Plants wither, but cotton doesn’t. You can wash it with weird chemicals and everything but nothing changes, except for the color but that’s also a lot of weird chemicals. It’s so strange! We’ve gone from wearing animals’ furs to wearing plants!”
“We still wear animal furs though…”
“Yeah, I know. But it’s so expensive! Human always wore animals’ furs before and it didn’t seem like much of a big deal, but now when people do it they’re associated with luxury and wealth.”
“Ah…yeah…”
“It’s so weird!”
“Yeah, I get it. It’s weird! Humans are weird. Evolution and change are weird. I get it.”
“I need to know more.”
“Huh?”
“About cotton. Can I borrow your laptop?”
“Sure.”
Taeyeon watched as Jessica got up from her bed and made her way to her desk where her laptop was. She shook her head and went back to read the book. A smile formed on her lips as she thought about how Jessica must have reacted at the clothe store when she had realized what the clothes were made of.
She was pretty sure Jessica must have had a lecture about it with her mother and sister, and also informed the staff at the store about what the clothes actually were made of.
It might sound crazy but Taeyeon had wanted to be there to witness it. And also be the one Jessica could complain to when it turns out the employees at the clothe store didn’t take her informative speech seriously.
