what's black? it sounds delicious

-

you were seven when you first heard of that word.

it was when lisa got into another brawl with one of the most annoying, noisy boys in your kindergarten class, kai.

little six-year-old lalisa was holding him by the collar, fists clenched tight as she continued to scream angrily at the helpless, poor boy.

"what do you mean that gross, bitter drink in miss bae's mug is black coffee?! it's not even black, it's grey! see?!"

lisa shoved the transparent mug closer to kai's face, causing the greyish liqiud inside it to almost spill all over his face.

"i-it's not grey lisa! what are you talking about?" kai yelled back as he tried to come off as brave as the fuming thai.

it just angered your best friend even more.

"are you trying to make me look stupid?! do you want me to beat you up?" lisa threatened, causing the boy to immediately quiver in fear. you watched as your best friend faces you, tone firm when she asked, "it's grey water, chu, isn't it?!"

you blinked, turning towards the liquid inside the mug to inspect it, yourself.

well, lisa is right. the water inside of it is grey.

you were just about to nod, but kai's voice suddenly beat you to it. "it's not water! and it's not grey! it's black coffee! tell her, jisoo!"

"shut up, kai! it's grey! like chu and i's hair colors - grey! right, chu?!"

you frowned at the loudness of both of their voices.

but lisa is right, though. the liquid inside of miss bae's mug is the same color as yours and lisa's hair.

it's grey.

but the word that kai keeps on yelling at lisa's fuming face caught your attention more, so instead of answering their questions, you turned to face a shaking kai in lisa's death grip and asked, "what's black?"

is that some kind of snack? it sounds delicious.

maybe i can finally take a break from those disgusting rice crispies mom likes to buy whenever she goes grocery shopping.

"what?! are you both dumb?!" kai spat, clearly frustrated. "and you don't even know what black is?!"

"yah! don't yell at my best friend, do you hear?!" lisa yelled before kai's words even sank in on your brain. "apologize to chu, now!"

"no!" kai yelled back as he tried his best to wiggle out of lisa's grip. but your best friend has always been freakingshy strong, so instead of any more helpless attempts to escape, he cried out. "miss bae! lisa and jisoo won't get off my back!"
