Unexpected deliveries keep coming to Jisoo's door...

"Jisoo, calm down!" Lisa tried to soothe her friend, but it was in vain.

"How can I calm down, Lisa? All my stuff! Everything is gone! I had like, a couple of hours with it and in a second it was all floating away!" Jisoo paced around the apartment still in tears. "What am I gonna do? It took forever to save 400 bucks! And I need to pay my rent and bills next week so all the money I get will go straight out! I will have to choose between buying it all over again or putting any extra money in the art school fund. So yea, fun times ahead! I just can't believe this is happening! Wake me up 'cause this must be a nightmare! A really bad fucking nightmare!"

"I know, Jisoo. But listen, we can figure something out. I can take extra shifts where I work to help you, I don't know, I can even get some money off Bambam, I'm sure he would help you."

Jisoo sat on the edge of her bed burying her face in her hands.

"I can't ask for money from your brother. I would never be able to pay him back anyway."

The raven looked at her friend, eyes full of sadness. She watched as Lisa sat by her side and put one arm around her.

"We'll figure something out," Lisa said, reassuring her friend. "I just don't get why you didn't accept when the girl said she would replace it. All things considered, it sounded like your best option!"

"Ugh I know.. I'm stupid, aren't I? You know how I get when I'm angry, I just don't think. I was so pissed off I just grabbed my bag and walked away."

"Did she tell you her name? Maybe we could find her."

"No, she didn't. It was all very quick; I have no idea who she is."

"Maybe you could go back to the park. You said she had a camera, maybe she goes there a lot to take photos?"

"I doubt it. I go to that park pretty much every day and I never saw her there before." Jisoo sighed, feeling hopeless. "I'll go there anyway, who knows..."

Jisoo sighed as Lisa stood up with a smile on her face.

"Let's do it! I'll come with you. Besides, you can use your last two dollars to buy me a coffee!" Lisa said, laughing.

"Are you really ripping off my last two bucks after everything that happened?"

"Of course I am. I'm offended. Don't you know me?"

Jisoo got up on a sigh, reaching for her bag, and jokingly smiled at her friend.

"Unfortunately. Why are we friends again?"

She opened each compartment of her backpack and felt confusion and despair start growing inside of her.

"Oh shit no... Please no."

"What?" Lisa asked, worried.

"Write it down, Lisa. This is officially the worst day of my life," she said, without facing her friend.

"Why? What's going on?"

Jisoo turned around and looked at Lisa raising an eyebrow.

"I've lost my wallet."

She walked into her office with a glum face. Placing her bag on a chair, she sat by her desk and started messing with the computer, not noticing that she was being watched.
