You were lying on your bed like a retired burrito, scrolling through your phone and listening to music like the main character of a sad music video. Feeling dramatic, you typed some random lyrics in your notes:
"I'm still at the restaurant."
Not because you were at a restaurant. Not because you were having a fancy dinner. But simply because the lyric hit way too hard at 9:58 PM.
Then suddenly, your phone dinged. A message from Liam Montenegro (my baby💞). Liam: beh You, responding with Olympic-level enthusiasm: "oh"
Then came The Message that made you question your whole existence:
I saw your notes saying “I’m still at the restaurant” can you buy chicken? I’ll pay when you get home, love u beh
You froze.
You weren’t outside. You weren’t dressed. You were literally in your room, messy hair, with chips beside you like a loyal pet.
This man really thought you were out eating in a restaurant because of song lyrics.
Meanwhile you’re sitting there like:
"Sir… I’m still at the bedroom."
You could already picture him, imagining you sitting at a fancy restaurant, ordering chicken like some undercover food agent.
Meanwhile, in reality, you’re half-asleep and haven’t moved in 2 hours.
You try to figure out how to break the news to him gently:
Option A: tell the truth Option B: buy chicken like a hero Option C: send the whole lyrics so he understands it’s a song
You finally reply:
"Baby, that was just lyrics."
Liam, probably dramatically clutching his chest:
"So… there’s no chicken?"
He wasn’t heartbroken about you. He was heartbroken about the imaginary chicken order that never existed.
He ends up saying:
"Next time put lyrics like 'I'm inside KFC buying bucket meal' so I know."
