Chapter 3

“Oh my God, SeulGi!” Irene shakes SeulGi hard, “Wake up!”

“Huh?” SeulGi rubs her eyes.

“Don’t ‘huh’ me!! Why are you still sleeping?!!! It’s already 7 in the morning! I’ve been trying to wake you up for what seems like eternity! You haven’t even brought me breakfast, you haven’t prepared my things and you haven’t gotten up from your bed yet!”

Irene continues to nag but SeulGi is fresh from sleep to understand anything Irene is saying.

“Do it yourself.” SeulGi sleep-drunk says.

Irene gasps, “How dare you!” She decides to shake SeulGi harder, accompanied by light slaps.

“Okay! Okay! Alright! I’ll get up! Jesus.” SeulGi takes the blanket off her and starts to fix her bed. “Move!” SeulGi commands Irene to get off her bed.

“You slob! What are we paying you for?!”

The question made both of them crease their eyebrows.

“Wait, we don’t pay you.” Irene puts her index finger to , “You do this… to pay us.”

SeulGi continues to watch Irene rhetorically ask herself, or rather, make a fool of herself.

“So, the question should be ‘What are you paying us for’?” Irene’s eyebrows are meeting together already, “I don’t get it.”

“Just let it go, Irene.” A giggle betrays SeulGi, “Just let it go.”

“This is all your fault! If you didn’t oversleep, I wouldn’t be running to class with you!” Irene blames SeulGi as they run to school.

“I’m sorry I’m a heavy sleeper!” SeulGi apologizes – though not whole-heartedly – just to stop Irene from having her fit.

“I will see you after class.” Irene pokes SeulGi hard by the shoulder, “Come fetch me.”

“Will do, Princess.” SeulGi watches Irene enter the classroom, “Will do.”

“Present, Your Majesty of the Asses.” SeulGi fakes curtsy to Irene when the latter called her.

“Here, carry my things. I got a lot of school work to do at home.” Irene piles every textbook she lays her hands on to SeulGi’s, not minding if the taller girl is having a problem holding all of it. “I should totally rally about the amount of school work teachers are required to give. I mean, seriously, who could finish all of these in one night?!”

Irene continues with her rants as SeulGi tries to keep her balance, she says, “Uhmm, Princess? A little help here would be nice?”

“What?” Irene stops packing her things and look at the large heap of books SeulGi is holding, “That’s not even half of it.”

“Are you kidding me?!” SeulGi says in gritted teeth, “No way in hell I’ll carry all those!”

“Yes way in hell you will!” Irene piles another textbook onto the big pile SeulGi is already carrying, “Plus, you’ll help me answering all these,”

Irene smugly smiles at SeulGi before tapping the latter’s nose,

“Bear.”
