Midnight Shopping

Heesun tossed and turned in bed. No matter what her position was, nothing would distract her from the rumbling in her stomach. She huffed and sat up. Her blankets were thrown across the room as her feet found the cold floor. I mean, it was really cold.

While shuffling through the dark hallway, trying her hardest not to fall, she heard a noise coming from the kitchen. It sounded like a raccoon destroying the fridge. Only a half-asleep person who lives with two other people would come to the conclusion that they were currently being robbed. Also, only a half-asleep person wouldn't have enough sense to run and call the police. Heesun's hands felt around the wall in desperation for a weapon. She stumbled upon some picture that was framed on the wall. She almost cheered, but quickly caught herself before disaster.

She poked her head around the corner, giving her a perfect view of the kitchen. To her horror, she saw a figure hunched over in front of the precious fridge. Taking cautious steps towards the robber, her foot landed on a creaky floorboard. Heesun's breath was caught in her throat as the figure stopped its rummaging. Her first thought of it being a raccoon wasn't too far off, considering the robber's dark eye bags and disgusting hair. Heesun threw the picture at the thing, hitting it in the head. Before she could turn around to see what would happen, she ran to her room and screamed.

"You witch!" it screamed, making Heesun scream louder. She saw her precious room door in the distance and she ran faster. She would've made it if she didn't bump into something, or rather someone. Mai looked down at her elder with dangerous eyes.

"What is wrong with you?! Go. To. Sleep!" Mai yelled in a sleepy haze.

"SHH! There's a robber! Hurry!" Heesun yelled back.

"You are a fool! It's just me." The pair shot their eyes at the voice. Minji stood in the dark hallway with her robe wrapped tightly around her waist, along with the same sunken eyes. Heesun let out an "oh."

"You both are dunces. I'm going back to sleep," Mai started trudging back to her beloved room.

"Well, I'm going to the store," Minji informed the rest as she made her way to her own room.

"Are you insane? It's 1 in the morning!" Mai whipped around to face the other.

"I'm hungry and we don't have food. God can't stop me."

"Can I go, too? I'm starving," Heesun butted into their mini argument. Minji nodded, "sure."

"Wait, wait, wait, I'm not staying here by myself," the youngest crossed her arms.

"Looks like we're all going. Get ready fast or I'm leaving you all."

Ironically enough, Minji was the last to get ready. The trio were all dressed in clothes that still could be considered pajamas. Then again, it is 1 in the morning; Dispatch is fast asleep at this hour.

"Okay, someone connect your phone. I'm trying to drive, so play something crazy and I might not crash," Minji said as she pulled out of the driveway.

"I'll do it," Heesun whipped out her phone.

"Uh, I think not. You have a whole of 3 songs," Mai objected with her whole chest.

"Not anymore! I have like... 30."

"I have 900."

"Just play a song!" Minji ended up yelling again.

Mai thought long and hard about the song to play. Then it hit her, like a car. She typed in the song titled and waited for the reaction. A gasp rung through the Tesla. Next thing they knew, Secret Garden was blasting through the speakers. I mean, blasting. The whole car was shaking, and a couple ear drums might have exploded, but it was definitely worth it. Mai and Minji screamed the lyrics while Heesun sat in the back, fairly creeped out. She's never heard this song in her life, which isn't surprising considering this girl lives under a rock.

To sum up the car ride, there were bad high notes from Minji, Mai seizuring, and Heesun wanting to jump out the car window. But alas, they had made it in one piece.

"And here we are, boys, the 24 Hour Outlet Mall. Let's go to a convenience store."

"Are you sure we can't go shopping for clothes, too? I also need some more rosin for my cello, more pencils, YM said she wanted a calculator, matches, and I'm hoping to buy hand sanitizer."

Minji rolled her eyes and Heesun started thinking of the things she wanted to buy as well.

"Fine," Venus grumbled, "might as well just eat the hand sanitizer." Mai leaned her head closer.

"You what? You're gonna eat the gancer?" She looked at Minji in concern. Heesun belted out a delayed laugh a few seconds after. It was short and loud, causing the other two to jump back.

"You guys are so dumb, let's just get some food. You can order whatever you want when we get home, I'm hungry." Venus led the way into a small store with one person at the cash register.

"She looks really tired," Heesun whispered.

"It's 1:30, who wouldn't be tired? Just grab some noodles or something."

"No noodles for me until I'm 50," Minji said, "not after I got poisoned."

"It's your fault that you continued to eat it after saying it was too salty." Heesun nodded in agreement. Minji muttered a "whatever" and walked to the refrigerated foods.
  The girl was very picky when it came to food. One day Venus will eat anything she sees, but the next day she'll just stick with air.

Once Minji picked out the perfect frozen pizza, she turned around to get her companions out of there. To no avail, they were gone. She clicked her tongue in frustration, "I'm leaving them."

  Making her way to the car, Minji heard her phone ringing. "Hello?"

  "Girl, where the heck are you?" Mai had the decency to sound at least a little worried.

  "Hey, watch your language," Heesun could be heard in the back. Minji scoffed.

  "You're asking where I am? Where are you guys? I'm already in the car, you have three minutes." Unexpectedly, she heard the two bust out laughing from the other side of the phone.

  "We told you already! Ugh whatever, we're going to bed." The younger girls completely disregarded Minji's question.

  "Guys, I'm serious! Where are you?" Minji started the car and already backed out of the parking lot.

  "Hell."

*your call has ended, would you like to make another call?*

Yes
No

    Guys I do not write comedy. I can be funny in real life but it doesn't sound as good unless you hear it in person. Should we start taking requests? Idk I should talk about that with the others. I'll let you know next chapter.
