"Two Royal no.9 milk teas, one with double boba?" we heard a worker call out to us. Wonyoung looked at me excitedly and eagerly got up from her seat, skipping over to the counter. I smiled at her enthusiasm, getting up from my seat to follow her.
"Trust me, Verity; this will be the best milk tea you've had in your entire life." she emphasized, grabbing a straw and stabbing it through the top.
"I'll take your word on it." I replied, grabbing my own straw. As we were strolling back to our seats, I felt Hyunjin's gaze on us. I shot him a menacing glare, but we didn't stay long enough to see his reaction.
Once we got back to the counter, I stabbed my straw through the plastic lid and took a small sip, eager to know how it tasted. Wonyoung watched my face in anticipation.
She's right, this really is the best milk tea I've had in my life. The flavor was unlike anything I had tried before.
"So? What's the verdict?" she watched my expression carefully, trying to confer whether I liked it or not.
"That is so good. I don't know how I didn't find this place earlier." I gasped, taking another sip. It was delicious.
"I told you!" she exclaimed, taking a sip out of her own and groaning in satisfaction.
"It has, like, a...fruity taste to it." I pointed out. I had to take another sip to confirm.
"They blend a hint of blueberry in it. That's what pulls all the flavor together. I never thought fruit could be blended into milk tea and taste so good." she explained, and I nodded slowly.
Wonyoung and I continued to drink and chat back and forth. I learned that her favorite color is pink, she's a skincare addict, and she wants to major in cosmetics in college. Her dream is to become a successful beauty influencer.
I figured, because her appearance is so flawless. You can definitely tell she puts time and effort into picking her outfit, her accessories, and did I mention that her face is perfectly symmetrical? I just don't know if I can find the right words to describe how beautiful she is. She's...everything I want to be.
Her eyes traveled right over my shoulder and she took an awkward sip from her drink.
I heard the door bell jingle again from behind me, causing me to whip my head around. And now I've come to a conclusion that I should never come here again unless I want to run into my worst nightmares.
It was Yongbok. He was here, approximately two feet away from me, promising impending doom.
He made direct eye contact with me, and his pupils dilated. I tried to turn away from him before he caught me looking, but I wasn't fast enough.
