chapter thirteen
----------
As we walked out of the building, the silence was pretty awkward. I didn't know what to say after what happened, and I for sure didn't want to bring it up. I looked at my shoes as I walked down the stairs, they were pretty worn out but I didn't have the money to spend on things like that. I needed to make sure I had enough to pay for my bills and other necessities.
"I'll be heading home I guess?" I questioned when the silence finally got the best of me. Hyunjin turned his head towards me with his lips pursed, "Home? Already?" he frowned "I mean we're done here are we not?" I folded my arms and raised a brow. He looked around rapidly glancing at the stores around us, "I've never had bubble tea!" he blurted out. "You've never had bubble tea?!" I repeated with furrowed eyebrows. He pouted his lips and nodded as a response. "What type of weirdo hasn't tried bubble tea?"
Hyunjin looked around and raised his arm pointing behind me, "There's a store over there, we should try some" he grinned making his eyes disappear. "Cute," I let out "Huh?" I let out a cough and spotted the store he mentioned "I said let's go"
----------
We entered the store and were greeted by the smiles of employees. I returned a slight small back and wandered over to the barista's counter. I admit the cafe was extremely pretty, it was clean and full. The cafe I worked at was pretty minimalist, nothing too crazy just simple. I liked when things were simple but this cafe wasn't too bad either, maybe I'd ditch my boss to work here.
That was a joke.
I waited for the man to finish up the drink he was making, then make his way towards us. "Hey can I get you guys anything?" he gave us a warm smile I turned over to Hyunjin who just shrugged at me signaling to get anything. "We'll have two milk teas, not too much sugar in mine please, and extra tapiocas" I ordered. "Alright! That'll be 12,000 won!" I reached into my bag and grabbed my purse, before I could take out any money, Hyunjin handed his card to the man. I looked at him in disbelief as I hesitantly placed my purse back.
We were lucky enough to find a table even with the number of people there were. "I could've paid," I stated He shrugged and took his seat across from me, "You were moving too slow" he teased I glared at him and placed my chin on my hand, "Whatever" I muttered
Our order didn't take long to come, in fact, it was quicker than I expected. The waitress placed our drinks down with a cardboard holder. Hyunjin looked at the drinks with surprised eyes.
I grabbed my drink and placed it in front of me, leaving Hyunjin's cup in the holder. I gazed at the drink, a beautiful creation it was. Perfect color of gradient brown, decorated with the black tapioca pearls at the bottom.
"Are you on a date with me or the drink?" I heard Hyunjin mutter. I removed my eyes from the drink and glared at him, "I'd rather be with the drink" He scoffed at me and pulled the straw out of its paper wrapper.
He leaned in and took a big sip out of my cup.
"What the fuck?!?!" I spat out
He just put his gross lips on my drink when he clearly has his own...
He looked pleased with himself and licked his lips, "Woah I've really been missing out" he smirked. I snarled my teeth and grabbed his drink pulling it towards me, two can play one game. "Take mine, you already infected the straw" I snapped. He pursed his lips at me and placed his hand over mine pulling the drink back. "I was just tasting it" he nagged
We were playing tug of war with the drink, I was glaring at him but he looked amused. "Let go" I growled He looked at me unbothered, "No way it's my drink" he raised his voice. I let out a groan and tugged hard at the drink, Hyunjin let go of my hand and watched as the drink spilled against my shirt.
You're kidding.
I stared in disbelief at the large wet stain on my shirt, the drink had started to drip on the floor. Hyunjin shared the same expression on his face without moving. "Are you serious?!" I shouted while jumping up from my seat. Hyunjin struggled to grab the napkins on our table "Woah, sorry I didn't mean to let go" he apologized, voice shaky. He rushed over to me with the napkins in his hands, I moved back from him already annoyed. "Stop!" I raised my voice. He did as told and stopped what he was doing, but he still had a worried look on his face. "I can clean myself up" I hissed.
I unbuttoned the shirt of my uniform and removed the soaked clothing. Hyunjin's eyes widened even more from my actions, he rushed over to me, panicked. "What the hell?!?!" he shouted, placing his hands over my chest. I stared in shock at his hands, which were sitting on my chest. I twitched my eye in anger and shot my head up glaring at him. He had his head turned away from me.
I'd be lying if I said the men at our school weren't perverts, always trying to find any revealed skin. I always wore my uniform properly, I didn't see the point of trying to be extra. For obvious reasons under my uniform's shirt, I made sure to always wear an undershirt. Hyunjin who must've thought I'd reveal my undergarments in front of all these people kept his head turned and his hands covering me.
"HWANG HYUNJIN!" I shouted bringing attention our way. I grabbed his arm while making sure I dug my nails into them. He glanced over at me and turned his head in disbelief. He gawked at his hands, while also noticing my second shirt.
"I.."
