After washing their dishes and cleaning the table, awkward silence filled the room.

Sooya tried to break it...

"So... you think I'm beautiful, huh?", said Sooya after what Lisa said earlier.

Lisa's eyes got big and her lips smiled even if she tried her best not to.

"I think we should go back to Revelove now. Sal should be hanging around that area now.", said Lisa in an attempt to change the topic. 

Sooya simply nodded and grabbed the purse she almost lost the day before. Lisa was surprised to see Sooya walking ahead. Sooya seemed more confident now. Lisa couldn't resist getting her phone out and taking a picture of Sooya.

"Hey... What are you doing back there?  You said we should walk beside each other. Come on!", said Sooya not realizing that Lisa just took a photo of her.

They begun walking side by side back to the bar. The night was a bit cold and Lisa noticed that Sooya was shivering a little.

"Sorry, I should have brought a jacket for you. Here, take mine.", offered Lisa.

"What about you?", asked Sooya

"I'm used to the weather here so I'll be fine. By the way, there's a small store along the way that sells chargers. I can lend you money to buy one.", replied Lisa.

"I actually borrowed a charger from the girl on the ground floor... Clea, was her name, I think."

"Wow. You know more people in my building than me. Was she Italian? Russian?", jokingly asked Lisa.

"Filipina, actually. I charged my phone to 50% and returned the charger.", Sooya said with a smile

"Finally, now I can just call you whenever I get worried.", said Lisa without realizing it. She originally planned not to get attached to Sooya since she would leave anyway but she forgot all of that now. She just enjoyed the now that they had together.


"Ohhh...I don't know why you'd be worried about me, but sure. Does that mean you're asking for my number, Lisa?", asked Sooya while raising one of her eyebrows and holding her phone away from Lisa.

"Don't make it sound weird! Give it here, I'll save my number on your phone.", said Lisa while reaching for the phone.

They played for a bit until Sooya was suddenly caught in Lisa's embrace. She quickly handed over the phone to Lisa and when Lisa returned it, the number was already entered under the name "Pretty Lisa".

Sooya simply smiled and looked at Lisa as she typed something on her phone and pressed ok. Lisa started walking again. Sooya stayed behind a bit and allowed Lisa to go ahead.

"Now, its up to you to call me if you---" ***BZZT***BZZT***

Lisa was interrupted by her phone's vibration. She quickly answered it. "Hello?"
