Brittany had a few drinks that night and was feeling a bit woozy.
When she got back to the apartment, she took a shower and flopped down on the bed, frowning uncomfortably and muttering complaints under her breath.
Grace noticed her discomfort and immediately said to Isaac, "Didn't you notice Brittany's not feeling well after those drinks? Hustle up and make her some hangover soup; take good care of her."
She kept pouring drinks for Brittany, and it was finally kicking in.
Isaac responded and cooked up a bowl of hangover soup for her, bringing it to her bedside.
Brittany was sprawled on the bed, her face flushed and her long eyelashes quivered slightly. She was a looker; Isaac had known that for a while.
"Brittany."
Isaac reached out and gently nudged Brittany, saying, "You've had a bit too much. Here, have some hangover soup."
Brittany didn't want to move, putting Isaac in a bit of a pickle.
Grace, who was peeping from outside the door, was getting antsy.
Brittany looked really miserable.
Isaac sat on the edge of the bed, helping her sit up with one hand. Brittany frowned and grabbed his shirt. "Zakky, my head is killing me."
"Then why are you drinking when you can't hold your liquor?"
Isaac scolded softly, bringing the hangover soup to her lips.
"Open your mouth."
She didn't want to drink.
"Open your mouth."
Isaac repeated, his tone getting a touch colder.
Brittany's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "Why are you being mean to me?"
"..."
When was he mean to her? His tone was a bit stern, and she took it as him being gruff?
Brittany was drunk and seemed to be dredging up past grievances: "When I moved in, you didn't even help me with my bags. You'll never find a girlfriend acting like that! You're always giving me the cold shoulder; you don't even know when I'm being wronged!"
