248 I need more money (1/2)
”I'm done. You can take your shower,” she told her usual roommate, Mika.
Mika jumped to her feet and dropped her phone onto the bed. Then, she made a beeline into the bathroom. Ryn, when she entered the bathroom for her shower, already brought Mika's personal hygiene items in and arranged them on the sink. Well, her own items were not that much.
Ryn changed into the clothes Mika chose. Instead of re-wearing the same clothes she kept wearing for days, Mika brought some clothes from her brand for Ryn to wear. Of course, being in the cold country, the material Mika chose was suitable for the climate.
”And this is for dinner?” Ryn checked her outfit in the mirror. Mika chose for her to wear a red plaid dress. Underneath was a black legging. Then, there was a brown overcoat. Too much in Ryn's mind but seeing the same outfit next to hers, only in green colour, she changed her mind of rejecting the clothes and put on her usual clothes.
She sat on the couch and checked her phone. Her diary was opened on the current month as she checked her schedule again. With the additional date for filming, she needed to recheck none of her work, including the pre and post-filming, would interrupt the wedding preparation.
Mika was not yet a bridezilla so far but she would turn into a bridezilla once they started to work on this officially. Of course, what was left was not a lot with so many decisions were made by the Dowager Long and Madam Long. But what was left would still give pressure to poor Mika and as her sole bridesmaid, it was Ryn's job to help lessen the stress.
”Are you going to be busier after this?” Mika asked. She was wrapped in the fluffy white bathrobe. Her hair was wet and her hands were busy drying it with a towel.
”Hmm… I guess I need more money in order to upgrade the house. You know I plan to buy a freezer just for my steaks.”
”Do you even need a freezer for meat? Don't you fill your refrigerator with steaks?” Mika groaned, rubbing the spot between her brows. Why would her stingy best friend want to buy a freezer just for steaks?
”Well, I have to take consideration when my parents return to live with me and they… well… mom always complain about the livestock ruining the smell of her healthy ingredients,” Ryn pointed it out.
”They are moving back?” Mika cocked an eyebrow as she dropped the towel into the rattan basket and grabbed her legging to put on.
”Of course. One day.”
Mika stopped her movement and pursed her lips thoughtfully. ”You… haven't moved into your new house, right?”
”Not yet. The renovation hasn't finished yet,” Ryn replied. She put both her phone and diary onto the round rattan coffee table. She stood up and walked to the vanity table. She reached for the hairdryer and connected the cable.
”Sit down,” she told Mika, pointing for her best friend to sit on another chair. She did not give the hairdryer to Mika, wanting to help Mika drying the hair faster.
”Why are we wearing so nicely for dinner?” Ryn asked, already turning into another topic.
”I just want to be as pretty as you when having dinner tonight,” Mika shrugged. She played with her phone then an idea hit her mind. She quickly opened the camera application and set for the video.
”Hi, we're preparing for… Ryn, switch off the dryer for a while. I need to record this,” Mika told Ryn, patting her thigh with one hand while another holding her phone.
At first, Ryn did not notice it. Her focus was solely on helping to dry Mika's hair. Her hair was getting longer now so it would take more time to dry. Then, she noticed the pounding on her thigh and quickly shut down the hairdryer. ”What is it?”
”Hi, after days didn't post a video, today I've decided to do one for all my viewers. You can see behind me is Ryn. She's helping to dry my hair because both of us will be going down for our dinner. You are invited to join us,” Mika ended it with a wink.
