Chapter 4: The Stranger's Things

Murderer. That was the first thought that came into Lisa's mind as she stared at the woman outside her door. Her second thought was that she smelled like shit. Jennie was stinking, and Lisa meant it literally that she felt like she could puke her entire stomach out. The smell of garbage, puke, fart, and anything horrible you could think of, you mixed it together and that's what Jennie smelled like at the moment. It was a collaboration of the most unpleasant smells in the world (but of course Lisa was just exaggerating, Jennie smelled like shit but it was tolerable as long as you won't breathe around her).

"Aren't you gonna let me in?" Jennie asked and Lisa could feel that the woman was trying to act calmly as possible.

"Not in that state." The Thai replied, putting both her hands on her nose and look at Jennie with judgment. "Why are you covered in blood and mud?" Lisa asked accusingly like she was ready to call 911 any moment the black-haired initiate to do some illegal things, like for example, attack or murder her.

Jennie opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by a loud hiss followed by a nonchalant meow coming from a grumpy looking cat that started to enter Lisa's apartment, unbothered by everything that was happening around him.

Lisa squealed at the sight of her cat. "Leo!" But her cat continued walking like he was not even a bit happy to be home, or more specifically to see Lisa.

"Because of him." Jennie said, pointing her muddy finger towards Leo.

Lisa raised her eyebrow as if asking what her son did to this poor woman. Jennie sighed and looked at her with almost pleading eyes. "I'll tell you everything but please at least let me take a shower first?"

After minutes of arguing and Lisa telling Jennie to not go into the bathtub, to only use her liquid soap, and to clean her bathroom after using it and explaining that there should be no traces of mud and blood on her bathroom floor and walls to be found, Lisa finally agreed to let the woman take a shower. Lisa shook her head and shouted when Jennie was about to step her muddy feet on her carpet, telling her how expensive the carpet was.

Lisa angrily wiped her wooden floor that Jennie walked through, murmuring to herself why the hell did she agreed to let the woman in again on her life, while Jennie was on the shower.

Leo was roaming and hissing around her living room, but unlike Jennie, her cat was a bit clean. Lisa suddenly wondered why it felt like this was the first time she saw Leo for a long time, she thought when was the last time she saw her cat but she couldn't really remember. Heck, she didn't even think about him and was too focused on herself that she didn't realize that Leo was actually missing for two weeks until now. What a poor, poor cat.

After cleaning her floor, Lisa dialed doctor Jisoo's clinic. She wanted to tell them the state Jennie was in, she was sure that they would not be happy that their employee caused an inconvenience and Lisa hoped that they would take her back and never let her return. Besides, they want a complaint and now Lisa's giving them one.

She was about to open her mouth when the other line answered, followed by a grumpy "hello" from doctor Jisoo's secretary, but her attention moved to somewhere else when her bathroom door suddenly opened and Lisa felt like she had forgotten how to breathe.

Jennie was standing outside her bathroom, looking clean and fresh with water dripping down her neck and legs, wrapped in Lisa's small yellow towel that hangs just below her bottom and just above her well-rounded breasts. It was a sight Lisa didn't expect to see. Sure, Jennie was an attractive young woman and anyone in their right mind can see that but Lisa had only been seeing her as an annoying freak and especially not after she saw how ugly looking Jennie was just about an hour ago. But the sight in front of her was something else, it felt like she suddenly saw Jennie from a different perspective and Lisa didn't like what she was feeling at all. She was supposed to hate Jennie, not adore her curves and physical beauty.
