赤い糸 - Red String of Fate

Chapter 40- two hundred thirty

Jeongyeon put down her phone after the chat with Mina. Then she starts to clean up the table. walk slowly to the rubbish bin and walk back again to wipe the table, couldn't wipe as fast as usual since her waist wouldn't let her to.

This pain is so troublesome!
How long for the med to reach my waist?

Jeongyeon take her phone and search on google, 'how long does painkiller work?'

20-30 minutes, huh?

it has been like *look at the time* 29 minutes, the med is taking it's time to work, huh? Lazy med~

I should stay still, maybe it will work faster.

Jeongyeon sits back and rests her head on the couch, counting the time second by second while she closes her eyes.

"one, two, three, four"
.

.

"hundred thirty seven, hundred thirty eight, hundred thirty nine,"

.

.

"two hundred twenty eight, two hundred twenty nine,"

"two hundred thirty" Sana voice was heard.

Jeongyeon felt a soft touch on her forehead before she opened her eyes, Sana already upstairs taking the pillows and blankets.

"excuse me?" said Jeongyeon while wiping her forehead.

"what, honey?" Sana going downstairs.

"w-who g-gave you permission to kiss my forehead?" Jeong flustered by the sudden Honey.

"Can't I show affection to my beloved girlfriend?" Sana put those pillows and blankets beside Jeongyeon.

"cannot," Jeong said in monotone.

"Get out from the couch, I'm going to extend it" Sana ignoring the disagreement.

"Are we going to sleep here?" Jeongyeon stands up and moves beside.

"you want to slowly go upstairs and down with your injury like that?"

"Hehe, no"

Sana chuckles while extending the couch.

"Isn't it too early to sleep now?" Jeongyeon asked.

"Just rest, you shouldn't move a lot, anyway i put the ice pack plaster in the fridge, just tell me if it's not cold anymore"

"okay,"

Sana switch on the TV, open the blanket and tuck in herself.

"What are you counting just now?" Sana asked.

"Nothing, I'm just bored"

"two hundred thirty one" Sana continues that counts.

"Lol staph" Jeongyeon laughs.

"ㅋㅋㅋㅋ" Sana chuckles.

"our room number is 230," Jeongyeon said slowly as she was thinking.

"Then?"

"coincidence?" Jeongyeon turns her head to Sana.

"hmm?" Sana puzzled.

"your shoe size is also 230 right?" Jeongyeon asked again.

"yep, how do you know? are you my stalker? ㅋㅋㅋ" Sana giggles.

"pfft, Sana-ya, we have the exact same shoe size"

"really?" Sana gets off the couch and walks to the entrance to check on their shoes.

Jeongyeon watching her from the couch.

"whoa," Sana surprised at her shoe size.

"Told ya~" Jeongyeon smug face.

"Is there more cool things?" Sana walks back to the couch and tucks in herself.

"The 230 already shocked me tho," said Jeongyeon with a poker face.

"so are we 230 couples?" :)

"ummm, yes?" ._.

Sana giggles again, "Lemme think, we met for the first time at... at...

"Near the school entrance" Jeongyeon complete the sentence.

"yep, before that, i saw your bracelet afar, so I walked that way and not even a minute after I picked it up, i spilled your americano"

"lol," Jeongyeon grins.

"i still remember your pissed face, ㅋㅋㅋ" Sana teasingly smile at her.

"Sorry about that, i just very frustrated at that time, i thought i really gonna lost my bracelet" Jeongyeon chuckling at herself.

"ㅋㅋㅋ, and we got each other number from the 'Lost and Found' office"

"Hahahahhaah," laughing at each other.

"anyway, Jeong"

"hmm?"

"months ago, you had a nightmare about this" Sana lift up her hand, the one with the red string.

"yeah, and you being scared of thunder, By the wayyy, there is a thunderstorm two weeks ago, but when I looked at you, you stay still in your bed, I thought you gonna scream or else"

I'm screaming internally you baka!

If I just scream, i gonna wake everybody from their sleep.

Sana awkwardly laughs, "Hahaha, don't throw the topic to me, I still have a question"

Jeongyeon smiled, "what?"

"so you're not afraid of it anymore?" Sana timidly asked.

"hmmm, if i was afraid of that thing, I might have escaped to Mars or Jupiter, when the red string start to grow - but honestly! this is kinda weird, I didn't get any anxiety attack when I saw your wrist that night"

"Eh? that fast? you were crying so bad that time, hehe"

"You also screamed so LOUD until my eardrum almost explode because of you" Jeongyeon pouts and slowly slide down from sitting to lying on the couch.

"yah... I'm still scared of thunder, okay..." Sana joins the pout.

"And now my conclusion is I'm not afraid anymore, okay?" Jeongyeon still pouting.

"alright alright, let's stop this dumb debate, i gonna switch the TV channel to something else" Sana took the TV remote.

"Tss, let's watch some stuff"

Sana switches channel by channel, looking for something nice before going to sleep.

"this"

"this?" Sana rewinds the channel and took a glance at her.

"yea lets just watch this" Jeongyeon eyes stuck on the TV.

Sana just laughing inside herself, didn't expect Jeongyeon to like cartoons.
