Chapter Text
Zoeys grip on the knife tightened as she tried to make kimbap from scratch, okay, now I need to add the rice, then HAHA! SUCCESS! Now I have to cut it
Zoey reaches for the knife that she put on the counter, she picks it up and then slips, sending the knife flying and her falling on her bottom
Ow.
“Shit, I think I nicked my hand” Zoey looks at her hand and yep, she had cut a bit of skin, ouch mira was not exaggerating when she cut her hand when cooking yesterday
She grabs the knife from the floor and puts it in the sink and opens the cabinet, “Toothpicks, paper plates, AHAH! Bandages!”
Mira had noticed the clattering of the knife and poked her head through the door “you good?” Zoey puts her hand behind her back “yeah I’m good”
Mira noticed her hand behind her back “Your a terrible liar, show me what you’ve done” Zoey reluctantly shows mira her hand “Zoey! You could have just asked me to bandage that for you and I wouldn’t have cared! Are you okay?”
Zoey finally looks at Mira’s face “yeah, yeah I’m okay” Mira sees the hesitation in her eyes “stop lying, tell me”
”Fine, no it hurts quite a lot actually but I really didn’t want to worry you”
Mira’s expression immediately softens “I wouldn’t have worried much if you would have told me! Please just tell me next time if you need help and I will!”
”Alright then, I will”
-
It was early in the afternoon and the sun had just started to set- the once blue sky now melting into a slight pink and orange tint near the sun
Her phone was propped against the salt shaker on the table as she called rumi, who was at the store.
One ring, two ring “hello? Zoey?” The speaker crackled
“Hiya Rumi! What ya doing?”
“Just looking at clothes at the store, why?”
“No reason, just curious but can you get me some shrimp crackers? I’m starving and I don’t wanna cook and we have no snacks”
”Alright, I’ll get your shrimpy crackers AND some snacks if, you do the laundry for the week”
Zoey huffed, rolling her eyes dramatically “fine, but you have to also get ice cream.”
”DEAL!” And she hung up
okay, god forbid she asks for snacks without having to do laundry
Zoey sighs dramatically, shoving the clothes into the washing machine
“where’s the other sock Mira?”
no response
“Mira?”
Again, no response, maybe she’s asleep? Zoey looks at the time: 22:42 oh my god, how long had she been doing laundry for? She checks the time she phoned rumi, 22:01
okay, damn
the doorbell chimes as rumi walks in the door with snacks
“RUMI!”
“Hiya zozo, where’s mira?”
”dunno, she didn’t respond when I called her so maybe asleep?”
Rumi rolls her eyes “Classic mira, I’ll check”
”okie but where are my shrimp crackers?” Zoey starts digging in the bags
”they’re here, now stop digging in the bags before they get everywhere” Rumi sighs, clearly tired of her antics
“YESS!” Zoey exclaims “VICTORY!
-
Rumi knocks on the door,
No response
I guess Zoey said she might be asleep, but it’s a but early, she knocks again
Nothing
“Mira are you awake? I’m coming in”
From inside rumi could hear rustling then nothing. Okay, nothing to worry about, right?
A pause, then more rustling, then another pause
Oh
“I KNOW YOUR AWAKE!
”Am not!” Mira retorted
“Am to!”
“Am not!”
”Am to!”
”Am not!”
”Your literally responding to me!
Silence
Rumi opens the door and sees Mira ‘asleep”
”okay if your ‘asleep’ then I guess your not getting any snacks bye bye”
Again, silence
“Okay more for me!”
Then rumi shuts the door. Odd much?
whatever, I guess I’m going to sleep to.
Night Zoey, night mira
“Night Rum!” Zoey responds from her bedroom, sleepily
Rumi smiles, “Good night, love you”
Silence
Rumi realises her mistake and makes a run for her room and slams the door
Okay. I’m not having a nervous breakdown imagine I didn’t just tell my friend I love them
Rumi can feel the heat rising up her neck
Okay, that didn’t work. I’m going to sleep
She settles into bed and finally closes her eyes, for a much needed sleep
