    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."
