"I only opened your message because I thought I was going to lose my job."
"And I only made you think you're going to lo...
There was a long stretch of stunned silence as my anxious self went into an entirely mute state, blinking my wide eyes up at Lee Minho, who seemed extremely humored by this behavior of mine. He was patient with me, however, and simply waited with eyes squinted in amusement as I eventually gathered myself enough to stop staring at him.
"U-Umm, so," I cleared my throat to avoid my voice cracking as my skin felt insanely hot to the touch and I was mentally cursing myself for not putting on foundation today to shield the obvious blush that was now creeping up into the skin of my cheeks. "Our taro milk tea is good..." I attempted to remain professional and answer the man's earlier question.
Minho let out a little laugh at my response, causing me to grow even more self-conscious. "Okay, I'll have a taro milk tea," he ordered, causing me to internally sigh in relief when I was given something to type into the touchscreen register so I had an actual reason to avoid his eyes. There was a brief moment of quiet as I did so while Minho reached into his wallet to retrieve the due amount for his beverage.
"Name for the order?" I spoke up, half-joking in an attempt to make myself feel less weird.
Minho stared back at me for a moment, as if trying to determine if I truly was making a joke or if I was just that stupid.
Without flinching or giving it away on his expression, which I could only see a little of anyway, he answered, "Bibi's father."
It took absolutely everything in me to not choke on my own spit in shock at his deadpanned response, but I somehow managed to remain calm in my body language. My eyes, however, were about to send me into another bout of humiliation, causing me to raise one hand and use it to shield my gaze, and I'm sure it appeared as though I were catering to a migraine.
