Let Me Help

Amy woke up with a pounding headache. She was in her room, wearing the same pajama from last night, her toenails colored halfway.

"Argh," Amy groaned. The hangover from too much wine is the worst.

She mustered all her strength and walked toward her kitchen.

Ahjumma, her sweet cleaning lady, was in her kitchen preparing a meal.

"Ahjumma, hi." Amy smiled as the sweet lady smiled back warmly.

"I figure from the bottles of opened wine that your head might be throbbing now, sweet child?"

Amy nodded as she sat on her kitchen stool. "Have you seen my phone by any chance?"

"Ah yes," the caretaker pulled it out from her apron and handed it to Amy. "Your soup will be ready in a minute. Do you want me to make you tea? Coffee combined with alcohol will make your stomach uneasy all day," Ahjumma said, her voice sincere and motherly.

"The soup is more than enough. Thank you so much. You're the best." Amy smiled at the old lady.
