Lalisa Manoban is exhausted after a long day and arriving back home is always the best medicine.

Especially if that medicine is her gorgeous blonde girlfriend.

Lisa sighed heavily as she unlocked her apartment door and walked in. She put down her camera on the hall stand and stretched, her aching muscles finally finding relief. She immediately took off her shoes and walked to the bedroom to change into more comfier clothes. She changed out of her formal wear and put on a pair of grey shorts and a pink graphic tee before walking to the kitchen.

It had been a long day of taking photos for her latest gallery showing, meeting up with a client who wanted a commission and finally meeting up for tea with Seulgi, a close friend from high school, and her latest project as she was in charge of taking photos for her bestselling children's' books. The twenty-one year old smiled as she remembered the good memories she had with Seulgi when they were together as she got a packet of biscuits from the cupboard. She arranged the biscuits on a plate and made a cup of tea.

While the kettle boiled she hummed one of the indie songs she had stuck in her head and once the water had boiled she prepared the tea and walked out of the kitchen. She walked into the tastefully decorated lounge area, a palette of cream and dark reds, and spotted the person she had been looking forward to seeing ever since she left their apartment that morning. Chaeyoung, her girlfriend, was sitting at their dining table, her face screwed up in concentration, as she typed on her laptop.

After graduating from college at the age of twenty, she stuck around for a while, waitressing and occasionally visiting her parents back in Thailand. Lisa stayed because of Chaeyoung. Not too long ago, a drunk driver hit her sister in a head on collision, and she passed away immediately. Chaeyoung was never really the same after the accident. She seemed deep in thought at times, thought before she spoke and somehow cherished life a little more.

She still had her cute habits, had the blonde hair that she occasionally dyed pink, but she seemed a little happier. She visited Alice's grave every weekend and Lisa would accompany her to lay down flowers. Then Chaeyoung would catch up Alice on all the things she did that week. Lisa did find it odd at first but she realized that Chaeyoung was trying to find closure. Lisa found it strange that Chaeyoung, who wanted to leave Seoul the second she got the opportunity, stayed longer than she had thought. Eventually the day came.

"Lis, let's go."

Lisa didn't need any more clarification because those words held depth and she just knew that they needed a new change of scenery.

Leaving Seoul at the age of twenty, Lisa never thought Chaeyoung would go back to her old nature loving self. Lisa remembered how much Chaeyoung loved being outside when they were younger and how she had been a straight A student, but after Alice's passing, it looked impossible. After having spent some time working at bars in Bangkok, Chaeyoung had decided she wanted to study again and go into Earth Science.

Part of it was so that she didn't have to rely on Lisa constantly to pay rent but the other part was for herself. She liked working at the bars because watching people get drunk was fun but she wanted to do something she loved, and her love was the Earth. It had been a hectic few months with Chaeyoung studying to get her school-leaving certificate.

Mr. Ruiz, surprisingly enough, allowed her to write her final exams and Lisa couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness when she saw her girlfriend with the certificate. Jennie was already balling her eyes out with Jisoo looking prouder than ever. Chaeyoung then moved onto studying full time with the help of a scholarship (Lisa actually cried when they received the news) and after a few years, she was now part of a team of research scientists, working on different projects on environmental sustainability.
