Campus Cafeteria - Lunch Break
The cafeteria was buzzing with the usual midday chaos; students rushing between tables, the clatter of trays, and the endless hum of conversation. Wony stood by the mirror near the drink station, completely oblivious to the madness around her. She was in her own world, carefully examining her makeup, tilting her face this way and that to catch the light.
Her reflection stared back, flawless as always. Perfectly blended foundation. Impeccable eyeliner. Lips glossed to a subtle shine.
"Wony!" Alice's voice cut through her concentration like a knife. She appeared behind Wony, her eyes practically sparkling with mischief. "You're strong, right? I have a super fun idea!"
Wony didn't even turn around. "No. Whatever it is, no."
But Alice was already in motion, launching herself onto Wony's back like an overly enthusiastic monkey. Her arms wrapped around Wony's neck, her legs locked around her waist.
Wony's eyes went wide. "ALICE... GET DOWN... I'M NOT A HORSE—" COUGH COUGH.
There was a small sound, barely audible over the cafeteria noise. A tiny crack. Wony's face twisted in pain, her hand flying to her lower back as she stumbled forward.
Alice immediately jumped off. "Wony? Are you okay?"
Wony couldn't even speak. She was frozen in place, one hand gripping the back of a chair for support, the other pressed against her aching spine. Her elegant composure had crumbled into a grimace of pure agony.

Campus Clinic - 10 Minutes Later
The clinic room was small and sterile, smelling of antiseptic and old magazines. Wony lay face-down on the examination bed, a hot compress pressed against her lower back. Her beautiful dress was bunched awkwardly around her, and her carefully styled hair was a tangled mess.
The campus doctor shook his head as he examined the X-ray. "The back is sprained. Needs three days of rest. No heavy lifting, no sudden movements, and definitely no piggyback rides."
Alice stood in the corner, looking like a scolded puppy. Her usual brightness was dimmed to a flicker. "I only... piggybacked for like ten seconds..."
Fatimah's voice was sharp with anger. "Alice, Wony has a fragile body. Do you know how much her skin care routine costs?!"
Chima was trying to hide her laughter. "So... should we call an ambulance for Wony now?"
Wony's voice came out weak but venomous. "I... will... kill you... Alice..."
Naila, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly pulled out her smartphone. Her fingers flew across the screen with surprising speed.
"Hold on," she said calmly. "I'm ordering an ergonomic pillow for Wony." She began scrolling through an online shop, completely unbothered by the chaos around her.
Chima stared at her. "Naila, are you—"
"Support pillow. Memory foam. Fast delivery." Naila nodded to herself. "Done."
"You're an enabler," Chima muttered.

Three Days Later - Various Locations
Wony had made a full recovery. Her back was healed, her posture was perfect, and her smile was absolutely terrifying.
Alice, on the other hand, looked like she hadn't slept in a week. Her punishment had been officially declared: one week of servitude to Wony.

Scene 1:118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQC6leTzxZ
Alice stood in the middle of the campus courtyard, holding a parasol over Wony's head while Wony sat on a bench, sipping iced coffee. The sun beat down on Alice's face, but she couldn't move.
"You can stop now," Wony said sweetly.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7CmkN9fky
Alice brightened. "Really?"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunuhNpsFIY
"Not yet. Five more minutes."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cuP7TewTD
Alice whimpered.
Scene 2:118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHDkQcJmCZ
Alice knelt on the floor of the classroom, serving as a "living chair" while Wony sat on her back to tie her shoes.
"This is humiliating," Alice muttered.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eCLhIc2F2
"You should have thought about that before you jumped on my back," Wony replied cheerfully.
Scene 3:118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETpWnjFqpU
In the campus library, Alice was forced to read every single comment on Wony's Instagram post (all 10,000 of them) out loud.
"Lovely dress," Alice recited, her voice monotone. "Slay queen. Where did you buy that bag? You look so elegant. I love your—"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBJVkpuOHR
"Next one," Wony interrupted. "Faster."118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlbn57CHcO
Alice took a deep breath. "Wony is my role model. You're beautiful. Come to my country. You inspire me to—"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmD6xkpLye
"FASTER!"118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g4JdaOkc7
Alice groaned.
Final Scene:118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTN5pusvSa
Alice lay sprawled on the floor of the campus cafeteria, completely defeated. Her hair was a mess. Her clothes were wrinkled. She looked like she'd been through a war.
Wony stood over her, smiling triumphantly. She was polished, poised, and absolutely radiant.
"Alright~" Wony said, her voice dripping with magnanimous grace. "That's enough. I forgive you now."
Alice lifted her head weakly. "Really?"
"Really. You've learned your lesson." Wony turned to leave, then paused, glancing back. "But next time, Alice... I won't be so merciful."
Alice collapsed back onto the floor. "Never again. I promise. No more piggyback rides ever."
Naila leaned toward Chima, her voice a low whisper: "Next time, I want to ride on YOUR back."
Chima nearly choked on her drink. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
"Why not? You're stronger than Wony."
"I don't care! Nobody is riding anybody! This is not a theme park!"
Fatimah rubbed her temples. "Can we please just have one normal day? Just one?"
The others looked at her with identical expressions of disbelief.
"Normal?" Alice asked from the floor. "With us?"
Fatimah sighed. "Yeah. I don't know why I keep asking."
She knew the answer, though. Normal was boring. Normal was predictable. Normal didn't involve Alice jumping on Wony's back or Naila ordering ergonomic pillows in the middle of a crisis.
Normal didn't have her friends.
And despite everything, she wouldn't trade it for anything.118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡangMbnk3pn
