One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood- Lucius Annaeus Seneca


Three weeks passed my wounds were healed and was going to get discharged. But still, the police haven't found the killer or my attacker. This made me irritated. I want to find the attacker so bad. I took shower wore comfortable clothes and went to the kitchen I was hungry and was sick of hospital food. What I saw was just a mess. I cross my hands cross over my chest and was staring at the scene in front of me.

Tau was trying to cut tomato but made a mess of its juice all over her. Tae Joon was frying something in a pan and he tried to hold the pan with his bare hands. He yelps in pain and same time Tau jump in surprise and cuts her finger, she yelps too.

What would I do of these two?

"What's going on?" I draw their attention to me. "Making lunch for you," Tau said and I scan my eyes all over the kitchen counter where they had made a mess. I shake my head and left them to get the first aid box from the bathroom.

I could hear them arguing about something."Out of the kitchen now!" I yelled from the bathroom. I took the first aid box and went to the kitchen and removed the beer bottle which was in the freezer. They both were in the living room examine their cut and buries. I walk toward Tae Joon and hand him a beer bottle, he looked at me in confusion. "Just hold it" I order. I went to Tau who was sucking her finger. I hold her hand and put a band-aid on her cut."Now tell me what were you both doing?" I asked crossing my hand over my chest.

"Just trying cook food" Tae Joon mumbled. "What was the need? You both don't even know how to boil water and were trying to cook? Couldn't you just ask me? Or order?" I scold them. They both look down. "Well, we're trying to take care of you. You shouldn't eat unhealthy food when you just got out of hospital" Tau answer."And you think your food won't kill me?"

God, what did I do that I got such caring friends?

"We were trying," Joon said and push his hair back from his forehead when I saw the red mark. I walk towards him and saw the skin was burned. "Were you cooking with your head?" I took out antiseptic from the box and apply on his burnt skin. "You two are not allowed to cook. It's a luck that you didn't burn the house." I sat next to Tae Joon and removed the beer bottle from his hand. His fingers had turned red; I applied cream of his fingers too. "You two sit here I will make something"

"Oye! You're not allowed to cook too." Tae Joon said. "You just came from the hospital you should be resting"

"Well, I'm hungry," I said and walk into the kitchen and seeing that mess looks like there was a food war over here. I clean the kitchen and that made me tired maybe because I took my meds? I made fried chicken. I don't even expect anything in Tau's apartment. She always eats restaurant food or frozen food. I filled three plates with chicken, two plates with one for Tau and me, and mild one for Tae Joon. We spend the day just like old times joking, playing around, and watching horror films. I wish life could be this simple and problem-free.

"Adya!" I heard Tau's voice but I hide underneath the pillow. "I'm going to the hospital and I don't think I will be free till night but had told Tae to stay here with you. Did you listen?"

"Go away" I shout and took blanket over my head. Next time I woke up when I hear the doorbell. I tried to avoid it but it rang continuously. "Ugh! Can't a girl have her sleep?" I mumble in anger but got out of bed. The bell rang again and again. "Coming!" I shouted. I open the door and saw Tae Joon taking a sip of his tea. He saw me and spills his tea out of his mouth."What?" I asked him, leaning against the wall as I was still sleepy."How could you-" he stop in mid-sentence and looked around. What was he doing?
