My head is fucking hurting.
The hangover really makes me feel like I'm going to die. I felt like a truck hit my head because of this extreme headache I'm having right now.
I opened my eyes widely when I realized that I was not in my bedroom. I peeked under the blanket to see myself wearing pajamas I did not own.
"Ottoke!" I exclaimed and stood up from the bed, then started to look for my phone.
Where the hell is my fucking phone?
All of a sudden, I heard the door open, revealing Jisoo with Rosé.
"Where are we? Who the fuck changed my clothes? Did you see me naked? What stupidity did I commit last night?" I bombarded them with questions.
"We are in my house." Jisoo replied nonchalantly.
I looked around and didn't see any proof that it was her house.
:Seriously?" I confirmed it and she nodded. "I didn't know you had a pretty nice house."
"If you forgot, I'm the daughter of the owner of an airline and a hotel." She reminded me, which made my mouth go O.
"Who changed my clothes?" I asked, earning a deep sigh from Jisoo, and she slowly raised her hand.
"I did, with a blindfold." She said in a low voice, looking so embarrassed and shy.
"It means you are already aware of Emily Dickinson." She nodded.
"You shouted last night, so we all know what you had down there." She pointed at my crotch.
"Enough talking, I'm already hungry." Rosé said, and she walked out of the room, leaving us.
"Let's go downstairs. I bet you have an extremely painful headache." Jisoo said, and I nodded.
We went downstairs to the kitchen to eat our breakfast that Jisoo and Rosé cooked for us.
I sat beside Cubby while rubbing my scalp because I felt like my head was beating.
"Morning, Monkey." Cubby greeted me and she pushed a bowl of kimchi jjigae in front of me.
"Thanks." I grab a spoon and drink the soup of kimchi jjigae.
"Liz, can you remember what you did yesterday?" Rosé asked me, which made me think for a moment.
Suddenly, something flashed in my mind that made me feel embarrassed.
"Am I not lovable? Is this because I'm a freak? It's not my fault that I had a fucking Emily Dickinson! I was born with it and I can't change it! At least we have a chance to have a baby without asking for a sperm donor!"
I facepalmed myself and sighed.
"Jennie! I love you, but why can't you love me too, like how much I love you? Is it hard to love me? If you Jennie are not the right one for me, I hope Rosé, Nayeon, Sana, Mina, and Irene are not the right ones for Jisoo, Seulgi, Tzuyu, Cubby, and Seulgi too!"
"Fuck! Did I really act so pathetic last night? " I asked my friends, and they nodded.
"You cry, laugh, play, and then fall asleep." Seulgi said.
"Damn it! I feel so stupid. " I hit my head a couple of times and stopped for a moment because I felt something going on inside me.
I went quiet and everyone was looking at me worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Jeongyeon asked, making me look at her.
"I need to puke." I quickly ran to the bathroom, then I remembered that I didn't know where it was. "Jisoo! Where is your bathroom? "
"Shit! Go to the left, then the last door! " She shouted from the kitchen, and I quickly ran to the bathroom.
I puked everything I ate and drank last night.
I hate hangovers.

I attended my classes today even though I'm still suffering from a hangover. I'm a graduating student, so I have to pass every requirement that our professor gives us.
I'm a bit suspicious about my friends because they did not suffer or experience any headaches or pain when we got wasted last night.
Did they cheat on me?
I felt like they didn't drink as much as I did.
"Ms. Manoban?" I heard my professor, Song, calling my name.
"Yes, Sir?" I got up from my seat and leaning a little on my table to keep my balance because I'm still suffering from a bad headache.
"Are you okay? You've been looking down into your desk since the class started. " He asked worriedly, and I nodded.
"I'm fine, it's just a headache." I told him, and he sighed.
"You are excused from this class now. Go to the infirmary and take medicine, so you will be completely fine."
I didn't object anymore. I picked up all my stuff and left the room.
I was walking down the hallway while massaging my head. There were few students walking around, since the majority of students had classes.
I took a left turn when someone bumped into me, which caused her things to fall to the ground.
"I'm sorry." She apologized.
"I'm sorry too. I didn't see you there." I helped her to pick up her things and handed them to her.
She carries a lot of stuff that covers her eyes so she can't see her way.
"Where are you going? I think I should help you or something bad will happen to you. " I picked up some books from her arms.
"To the faculty room." I nodded and motioned for her to go first.
I noticed the books are all about stars and planets. Based on the books we have, I believe she is interested in astronomy..
"Are you new here?" I asked her, breaking the silence surrounding us.
"Not really. I'm from the business department, and Mrs. Yang asked me to deliver these books to her office." She answered, and I nodded in understanding.
"So, you are a business student?" I confirmed it and she shook her head.
"I'm a business professor." I stopped in my tracks and looked at her with one raised eyebrow.
"You are a professor?" She nodded.
"Why? I don't look like one? " I smiled awkwardly and nodded.
"You look like a student, actually."
"Because I was small?"
"No!" I accidentally raised my tone, which made the other students look at us. I cleared my throat and said, "You look so young and you look like you are around my age."
"That is a very nice thing to hear from a stranger. I'm Lee Ji-eun and I'm already 28 years old and a business professor." She introduced herself.
"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Lee. I'm Lalisa Manoban, but you can just call me Lisa, and I'm 24 years old. "
"Nice to meet you, Lisa. I'm just four years older than you, and since you are not my student, you can call me IU."
"Isn't that too informal to call you IU without any honorifics?"
"I'd prefer you to call me IU than Ms. Lee. I feel so old every time I hear someone calling me that." I nodded in understanding.
We arrived in the faculty room, and we went inside to Mrs. Yang's office. I put the book down on the table.
"I think she is still in her class." IU said, pertaining to Mrs. Yang, who is not here in her own office.
"Yeah." I answered.
We exited the faculty room and we walked beside each other.
"Don't you have class?" She asked.
"I have, but my professor has excused me from today's class."
"Why?"
"I have to go to the infirmary to get some medicine for my headache."
She grabbed my wrist and started dragging me.
"We should hurry then. You didn't tell me you are sick. I made you carry those heavy books." She said
"It's just a headache, IU-sshi."
"I know, hurry." I let her drag me to the infirmary.

Jisoo
I saw Ms. Lee walking in a hurry and she was dragging someone who looked familiar. My mouth went O when I realized that Ms. Lee was dragging Lisa.
I didn't know Ms. Lee and Lisa looked closed. I didn't know they were closed, especially when Lisa is not Ms. Lee's student.
I watched Ms. Lee drag Lisa to the main building. They look like they are talking about something that makes the two of them laugh.
"What are you looking at?" I heard Tzuyu's voice behind me.
I pointed at Ms. Lee and Lisa, who had just entered the main building.
"Who is she?" Tzuyu asked.
"Who?"
"The girl with Limario." I looked at her and she looked like she didn't know Ms. Lee.
"That's Ms. Lee Jieun, a business professor."
"It's my first time seeing her." she said.
"She barely leaves the business department faculty and she looks more like a student than a professor." She nodded in agreement.
I was about to walk to the court when Tzuyu suddenly nudged me and pointed somewhere using her mouth.
I looked at what she was pointing at and I saw Jennie standing a little bit far from us.
"Did she see Limario with Ms. Lee?" I asked Tzuyu.
"Yeah, she did. Before I asked you where you were looking at, I saw her standing there and probably watching what you were watching earlier. " She answered, and we started walking to the court.
"So what now? Did she get jealous or something? "
"She probably did."
We went to the court since we had our last practice before our game this coming Friday.
Jennie arrived about 2 minutes later than Tzuyu and I. She is quiet, and she just sat in the bleachers.
No one has talked to her since the incident happened. I think no one has the guts to do so since we are all upset at her for hurting our dear monkey.
Minutes later, after practicing, Limario arrived, and Ms. Lee walked her to the entrance of the court.
"Yo! Yo! Limario!" I shouted and ran towards her.
I jumped at her back, not minding if Ms. Lee was looking at us.
"What's up, IU?" I greeted her informally since we are close.
"Ceilings." She answered nonchalantly, which made me grumble.
:What's going on between you two? I didn't know you were closed with our dear monkey. " I wrapped my arms around Limario's neck, and she held my thighs to keep me from falling off her back.
"We bumped into each other earlier, then we became friends." IU answered, and she looked at Limario. "I'm going now. You should eat first before you drink your medicine. See you when I see you. "
"Bye!" I waved my hand at IU and Limario smiled at her.
"Peasant, carry me to the bleachers." I said to Limario, and she dropped me to the floor, making me fall on my butt.
"Ouch! Yah! That's painful." I groaned in pain and rubbed my butt to ease the pain.
"I'm not your servant, Chicken." She walked ahead of me, and I caught up with her.
"Are you sick?" I asked her.
"Not really, I'm still having a fucking hangover." She answered.
She laid on the long bench and made her bag her pillow.
"Aigoo, I think it would be better for you to go home and take a rest." I grab my jacket and make it her blanket so she won't get cold.
"It will go away later." She said it in a sleepy voice, which made me sigh.
"Go to sleep." She hummed in response.
I heaved a deep sigh when I saw her condition. It's a bad idea to make her drink. I'm never going to do that again.
I sat on the floor beside Lisa's body to look out for her because she might fall off the long bench and she might need someone to accompany her.
While I was looking out for Lisa, I felt someone looking at us. It's not Rosé who was always worried about her best friend, but it was Jennie who was staring at Lisa.
Suddenly, she stood up from her seat and walked towards us.
It's my fault, right?" Jennie asked, talking about Limario's puffy eyes and condition.
"Who else?" I asked without any emotion.
"Stop being upset with me, Jisoo. I'm going to make up everything with Lisa because I know I hurt her so much. I'm going to give her space for now, but I'm going to talk to her after the championship game. " She said
"As you should." I replied shortly and watched her walk away.
Why can't these two be together without hiding it from everyone?
It's not like we don't want them to be together.
