Letters [COMPLETED]

Chapter 11 - I 💜 Purple

IRENE

Lisa is getting me all worried. For several days during her stay at the hospital. I know her other best friend is important too but why won't she talk to me over the phone? She'd been avoiding my calls because she didn't want to disturb her best friend. Something I couldn't figure why she can't just go out and take my call. Though she managed to reply to my messages I still could not help myself but worry. I wanted to hear her voice just to make sure. I know I am too clingy but it's our first as in first time ever to be separated that long. My mum was actually considering adopting her to save her the trouble of going back and forth in our house. Besides Lisa does not know to cook and only relies on taking out foods or preheat. She mentioned she will be back after a week and I got confirmation that it is today but she forgot to tell me her arrival time. I should have asked her ahead of time. Why did I miss that detail though?

I didn't have time to do a rain check, I hurried right away to the train station in hopes to see her sooner but hours have passed and I haven't seen even a shadow of her.

I don't know maybe I am acting like this because she's the closest person to me. Well, I have other friends like Joy and Yeri. Joy is a social butterfly and everyone's muse plus she throws a lot of big parties every weekend. Something I am not very fond of doing. I rather read books at home while Lisa is busy with reading her manga comics collections. While Yeri is still in Senior High so I am like babysitting her most of the time. But she thinks more mature than Joy most of the time.

Finally, she picks up my call. "Yaaaaaah, where are you? I've been waiting here at the train station."

Lisa obviously got startled because I yelled at her the moment she answered my call. "Huh? What are you doing there?" She confusedly asked.

"Obviously to pick you up." I gritted my teeth as I grow impatient with her.

"But I am not there. I went somewhere." She sounded like hiding something from me.

"And where are you at? Why didn't you tell me ahead of time?" I am really irritated. She's so dense most of the time. To be honest I am acting like her mother ready to spank her butt anytime.

"We can meet halfway. Can you make it to the park?" She has the guts to request something like this when I already waited for several hours.

"Ugh, I've been waiting for you here, how on Earth I didn't see you arrive?" My frustration is really growing.

"Baechu, pretty please. Just meet me at the park. I promise I'll hurry to get there." As usual, even I don't see her face I know she's acting cute to turn the situation around. Lisa has her way in everything. She's this charming girl that anyone could agree with if she ask for a favor.

"Okay, my feet really hurt standing for hours." I tried to make her feel guilty.

"I am really sorry. I'll give you a massage later. Just hire a cab. I'll hang up now." And she hangs up on me. Gees this fancy girl is really something.

I know I always overreact no wonder Lili would always ask me to date someone than hang out with her. Maybe it is her way to get rid of me because she could not date when I always stick my nose with her personal life. Being possessive with your own best friend isn't healthy but it keeps me going. I can't picture myself dating anyone just yet. And I don't want Lili to date, anyone, either too. I think we are too young to be in a relationship. We have our goals and that would start after college.

Uh, I just hate going places to places. I shouldn't agree to meet at the park because she's at fault. She made me wait for hours. It's weird that even I hate doing things like this. I'll still do it because of Lili's involvement. Like I don't really eat Tteokbokki  that much but when she loves it I learned to love it too and now it's my all-time favorite. For her Korean cuisines are perfect, she loves to eat anything.
