Drama Queen Roommate’s Organs Reveal Stomach Cancer

Ever since I was little, I have been able to hear what human organs were saying. My sickly roommate was overjoyed when she found out about this. “Lena, you can hear organs talk, and I’ve got gastritis. You must’ve been sent by the heavens to protect me! From now on, I’m putting my health in your hands, okay?” After that, she came up with endless ways to make me wait on her. “Lena, I sent you the pickup code. You know I have gastritis. I can’t walk too much.” “Lena, I want pasta tomorrow. Make sure you hurry back with it. If it gets cold, it’ll hurt my stomach.” Every time, I would simply let out a sigh and agree. It was until one day, when I came back after grabbing something to eat, I accidentally overheard her talking on the phone. “What, organs talking? If Lena could really hear them, wouldn’t she have figured out that I’m faking it by now? If she wants to play along, I’ll play along too. “Some people are born to be the heroine of the story. Others are born to be servants. Perfect timing. I picked out a dress today. Just watch how I get her to pay for it.” I pretended I had not heard a thing, I pushed open the door. The moment she saw me, tears welled up in her eyes. “You’re finally back! Lena, I asked ChatGPT today and it said my gastritis has progressed into a stomach ulcer. I might not have much time left. “There’s this three thousand dollar dress I’ve wanted forever. Consider it compensation for neglecting me. Think of it as granting my final wish!” I let out a sigh and placed the order for her anyway. The instant I checked out the item, I caught the smug look in her eyes. She thought I was stupid. What she did not know was that I really could hear her stomach speaking. It had been telling me that it was turning cancerous. Chapter 1 Right after I bought Chloe the three thousand dollar dress, my phone rang. Chloe answered, “Hello? You’re the delivery guy? Okay, sure. I’ll have someone come down to get it!” After hanging up, Chloe turned to me with a completely unapologetic expression. “Lena, my extra spicy chicken wings are here. Please head downstairs and get them for me.” I could not help but frown. Extra spicy chicken wings? I hesitated for a moment before trying to advise her. “Chloe, your stomach isn’t doing well. You really shouldn’t eat something this spicy.” The moment I finished speaking, a familiar voice rang in my ears. It was Chloe’s stomach. Its voice was so emotional it almost sounded like it was crying. “Ah! Lena, you understand me! You’re an angel! Please convince her! I don’t want to die!” I opened my mouth, about to say something, when another voice interrupted me. It was Chloe’s brain. It let out a cold scoff. Its tone was full of contempt. “Damn, this is such a pain! If I knew faking a stomach ulcer would be this much trouble, I would’ve chosen a different illness. This idiot would’ve believed anything I told her anyway.” I froze for a moment. The words were stuck in my throat. However, Chloe’s face showed none of that. Instead, she pouted and acted spoiled. “Lena, I know my own body best! If you really care about me, please transfer me five hundred dollars to prove it.” Some people just could not be convinced. I let out a sigh, picked up the keys from the table, turned around and walked out. Behind me, Chloe called out, “Don’t forget my food! Hurry! My tummy is growling!” I went downstairs and brought her delivery back up. When I returned to the dorm and opened the door, I saw Chloe lazily lying on her bed, scrolling through videos. The moment she saw me, she glanced at the time and immediately frowned. “Lena, where did you go to slack off this time? “Last time you got my food in five minutes. This time it took seven? Don’t you know my stomach is delicate? If I stay hungry too long, stomach acid will burn my lining. Can you take responsibility if something happens to me?” I was rendered speechless. She could eat extra-spicy chicken wings without worrying about damaging her stomach, but somehow me being two minutes late made me a murderer? I held back my anger and placed the food on her desk. Chloe took the bag and waved her hand at me. “Whatever. I’m kind enough. I won’t hold it against you.” Then she paused for a moment, hugged the food protectively, and looked at me suspiciously. “Why are you still standing here? Don’t tell me you want some. No way. I’m starving today. If you eat my food, I’ll be so hungry I'll roll around all night!” The corners of my mouth twitched. “I’m not eating. I already ate.” Then, I turned and walked back to my own desk. The moment I sat down, I heard Chloe’s stomach let out a desperate scream. “Damn it, extra-spicy chicken wings?! It’s over! It’s really over! I don’t think I’ll survive today!” Chapter 2 I put on my headphones and turned the volume all the way up, trying to drown out the screams coming from Chloe’s organs with music. Unfortunately, it did not work at all. Her stomach kept letting out sharp, desperate cries. “Why isn’t she stopping me?! What am I supposed to do if she doesn’t stop me?!" “Holy, I feel like cancer cells are surrounding me and taking over!” “Lena, you’re a murderer, a murderer of stomachs!” Her liver chimed in. “Not only is she a stomach murderer, she’s also guilty of intentional liver damage! At this rate, I can’t even detox fast enough. I might as well die!” The voices took turns attacking my brain, shouting so loudly that my temples started throbbing. I could not take it anymore. I took a deep breath and slammed my headphones onto the desk. Fine. I would warn her one last time since we were roommates. I took another deep breath and walked over to Chloe’s desk. The plate of extra spicy chicken wings on the table had already been completely devoured. Beside it were several opened bags of extra-hot spicy chips. I let out a deep sigh and kindly reminded her, “Chloe, for the sake of your stomach, you should eat less of this stuff. Eating spicy food like this every day will only make your condition worse.” Chloe paused for a moment. A flash of annoyance crossed her eyes. However, her brain reacted first. “This idiot is back again? How annoying. Why does she always stick her nose into my business?!” “I’m just fooling her here, yet she’s actually falling for it. So stupid. If she cares so much, why doesn’t she just pay for all my meals too?” I almost laughed out of anger. Me? Stupid? Were it not for her stomach literally begging for help, I would not have let myself be treated like a punching bag. Chloe finally finished chewing her spicy chips and wiped her mouth. “Lena, I didn’t realize you cared about me this much. I’m so moved. “But if I don’t eat, my stomach will hurt! My body is just so delicate. I need to eat enough to have the strength to recover!” She spoke with such sincerity that her eyes even turned red. “Besides, if I don’t eat, I’ll be in a bad mood. Do you really want to see me suffer?” The corners of my mouth twitched. Meanwhile, her stomach weakly groaned in my ear. “Can you please have some shame…” When Chloe noticed that I did not respond, Chloe thought she had successfully guilt-tripped me. She wiped away imaginary tears and suddenly changed the subject. “But if you really feel bad and want to do something for me, why don’t you wash the clothes I’ve been saving for half a month?” Chloe pointed at the pile of dirty laundry sitting on the floor. “You would not want me to get a stomachache from washing clothes, would you?" The pile was practically a small mountain. Sitting right on top was a pair of underwear. I frowned in disgust but did not move. When Chloe noticed that I was not following her orders, she put her hands on her hips and started lecturing me. “Lena, you seriously won’t even do this little thing for me? I’m already this sick! You can’t be this selfish and heartless! “What if something happens to me? You’ll regret it when it’s too late!” She acted as though she were the one suffering the greatest injustice in the world. It was like I was some unforgivable villain. My expression softened slightly. She was not completely wrong, but... Chloe waved her hand and replied impatiently, “All right, Lena, stop standing there. Go wash my clothes!” “Oh, and don’t use the washing machine. Wash them by hand! My clothes are precious, just like me!” Feeling Chloe’s stomach getting weaker and weaker, I finally let out a resigned sigh and walked toward the pile of dirty laundry. At that moment, her brain spoke again. She was as arrogant as ever. “She actually agreed! A fool like this deserves to be my servant for the rest of her life! Hehehe, I wonder what else I can make her do later.” My hands paused as I grabbed the clothes. I shook my head. Soon, she would not be laughing anymore. Chapter 3 While I was washing Chloe’s clothes, the other two roommates came back from class. Their footsteps stopped when they reached the balcony to wash their hands. Their eyes instinctively swept over, and their expressions immediately darkened. They recognized the clothes in my basin at a glance. They were Chloe’s. The two exchanged a look, their expressions changing. Maya was the first to walk straight over to Chloe. She angrily pulled out her earphones. “Chloe, you made Lena wash your dirty clothes? Aren’t you going too far?” Chloe froze for a moment. Then she quickly reacted. Her eyes turned red with grievance. “Maya, you brute! Why are you yelling at me like that? You scared me!” She rose to her feet, crossed her arms and let out a smug snort. “Are you jealous that someone cares about me? What can I say? I'm a delicate little beauty with a weak body!” “Someone as strong and healthy as you could never understand. Even if you’re jealous, you’ll never be able to act like me. Hmph!” After saying that, Chloe rolled her eyes, put her earphones back in, and leaned comfortably against her chair. Maya’s chest rose and fell with anger. Yuri walked straight over to me, looking completely disappointed. “You’re still washing them, Lena? You’re seriously letting Chloe bully you like this? You’re not even going to fight back? Where’s your dignity?” I was still scrubbing the clothes when I looked up at her helplessly. “I know you’re both trying to help me, but Chloe really is sick…” Before I could finish, Maya walked over and interrupted me. “What kind of nonsense is that? You still can’t tell she’s pretending?” “What sick person eats extra-spicy wings every day? Lena, she’s treating you like an idiot!” I heaved a sigh and looked at them with a complicated expression. “You two don’t understand…” Just then, Chloe’s voice floated over from outside. “Lena, are you done washing my clothes? If you are, change my bedsheets too. “Oh, and I just asked ChatGPT. She said washing feet is good for my stomach, so come help me wash my feet later! “Make sure the water is warm!” Maya suddenly turned around and stared at me. Her eyes were almost popping out. “Lena, you’re not seriously going to agree, are you?” Meanwhile, Chloe’s feet were practically celebrating. Their inner voice bounced around in my ears. “A dying person deserves a little kindness, doesn’t she? Well, who knows how many more times she’ll be able to serve me?” I frowned and hesitated for a moment. Right, a dying person… Maya laughed out of anger when she saw me hesitating. “I finally got it. You two are both choosing this. One keeps pushing, and the other keeps taking it.” Yuri let out a cold laugh. “Come on, let’s go! If she wants to be someone’s servant, that’s her choice. What can we do about it? My own stress levels can’t take this either!” Then, she grabbed Maya and dragged her toward the door. Maya clenched her teeth and yelled at me, “I’m done trying to convince you! Go ahead and be her servant for the rest of your life!” I helplessly shook my head. Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated. I dried my hands and picked it up. It was a message from the class monitor in our group chat. [The health checkup reports from last week are ready. Please send a representative to pick them up from Girls’ Dorm 407 or Boys’ Dorm 606 as soon as possible.] I narrowed my eyes as I stared at the message. Last week, that was exactly when Chloe’s stomach had been screaming the most painfully… Then I heard Chloe’s stomach speak excitedly beside me, “Oh my goodness, am I finally going to be exposed? Too bad, it’s already spread everywhere by now…” Chapter 4 However, her stomach was still surprisingly optimistic. After complaining, it paused for a moment and then said cheerfully, “Actually, this is great! At least I won’t have to suffer through her extra-spicy wings and hot chips anymore. Freedom!” I said nothing. I wrung out the last piece of clothing, hung it up to dry and walked back into the dorm. Inside, Maya and Yuri had returned again. They were holding four medical checkup reports. Yuri placed them on the desk and waved toward me and Chloe without even looking up. “I picked up everyone’s health reports while I was there. Come get yours from my desk.” I thanked her and was about to walk over. After only a few steps, a blur suddenly flashed past me. Before I could react, Chloe, the girl who always claimed she was too weak and delicate to do anything, jumped off her bed at lightning speed and blocked me. She pressed down on the top report, quickly pulled it out, and hugged it against her chest. I looked at her in confusion. Chloe stared at me nervously, forcing a fake smile. “Why are you looking at me like that? I was just worried that seeing my health report would make you feel guilty and upset! “I’m just looking out for you. What if something bad shows up? You’d feel so sorry for me you’d cry!” I raised an eyebrow. Looking out for me? I thought about it. Actually, maybe she was right. During this time, I had done everything I should have done and said everything I needed to say. When someone ended up crying later, it definitely would not be me. I did not say anything. I walked around her, picked up my own report and returned to my seat. Maya had seen everything clearly. She laughed coldly and leaned her chair back. “Still pretending? She’s obviously just afraid that once the health report comes out, everyone will find out she’s been faking it this whole time. Then she won’t be able to boss certain people around anymore.” Yuri chimed in sarcastically, “So what? We’ve tried to convince her how many times? Did she ever listen? Chloe only has to wave a finger and some people will come running over like they’re her servant. What do outsiders like us even have to say?” Maya opened her own report and rolled her eyes. “Forget it. If someone wants to be a maid, that’s their choice. Why should we care? She’ll just accuse us of meddling again later.” I tightened my grip on my report paper and bit my lip. However, I did not explain myself. They would understand eventually. Then I lowered my head and opened my own report. Fortunately, all my results were within the normal range. Aside from the mild neck strain and my eyesight declining a little faster than expected, everything else was completely healthy. I let out a sigh of relief and put the report down. At that moment, the mirror on my desk happened to reflect Chloe behind me. She was hunched over with her back facing everyone, secretly opening her report. Her brain spoke first, trying to comfort itself, “What are you panicking for? It’s definitely fine. My appetite was so good yesterday I could finish ten bags of spicy chips in one sitting!” Then her stomach responded, “Sure. Keep lying to yourself.” Her heart was pounding. “I’m doomed, I’m doomed. Why am I beating so fast?” Chloe’s hand trembled as she pulled out the report. Still, before she could finish reading it, the dorm room door suddenly flew open. The class monitor stood there with a panicked expression, clutching her phone. “Emergency! “Chloe, the hospital just called me. They want you to come in for a follow-up examination as soon as possible. Your results indicate signs of stomach cancer!” The mocking expressions on Maya and Yuri’s faces instantly froze. They both fell silent. Thud! A heavy sound came from behind them. Chloe had fallen to the floor, chair and all. Her face was completely pale, and her lips trembled. “What did you say? Stomach cancer? No... no way…”
