yunjin let her eyes glide over the menu, her eyebrows furrowing in concentration as she pondered over what to order. the cherry slushy she had previously gotten before making her choice, slightly melting against the slick countertops of the table, so many good options she thought.
"do you really not know what you want?" chaewon asked, a faint grin cracking across her cheeks as she locked eyes with the red head, "yunjin, you told me you come here often and you don't know what you want??" she asked, a fit of giggles threatening to spill out of her mouth.
yunjin set the menu aside, and gave chaewon a slight glare. "in my defense," she started, taking a sip out of her slushy, "if i had known you were picking my favorite diner i would've been thinking about what i wanted yesterday when i asked to hangout! i'm indecisive chaewonie, you should know this by now." yunjin finished, pushing up the rims of her glasses.
chaewon hummed in response, "you're still wearing my sweater?" she asked, a small attempt to start a conversation with the younger.
yunjin felt her mouth dry up at the sudden question, "uhm, yeah.." she started, her mind quickly trying to figure out an excuse, "i was gonna give it back. figured i'd wear to not forget it." she lied, she wasn't returning it or at least she originally had no intentions on it.
"keep it, it looks better on you anyways." the words seem to leave chaewon's lips effortlessly, a slight crimson blush crept across yunjin's cheeks as the words bounced back.
"oh, thank you.." yunjin mumbled, moving her head slightly to the side to keep chaewon from noticing the blush.
"no need to thank me, simple gesture is all." chaewon mumbled, taking a sip of her soda.
the way chaewon spoke was so effortlessly to yunjin, she liked that. liked how her words seem to be so short yet held so much power to them.
"do you want to do our questions?" chaewon asked, her ears perking up as the words left her lips. despite it not seeming like quite a lot of fun to many people, chaewon LOVED it. she loved getting to know others through the form of questions, because not only does she get to talk to them, she gets to observe the way they answer the questions they're given.
"mmh, is that going to be one of our things?" yunjin asked, giving the elder a sly smile, and quirking her eyebrow up in a flirtatious manor.
"mmhmm," chaewon hummed, "i don't know, perhaps?" she teased, giving a slight smile.
"are you guys ready to order?" the waiter spoke softly as he walked up, giving the two girls a slight scare beings that they were so caught up in their own conversation.
