Enjoy Reading😊

I got off from my van earlier and went straight to my designated tent. I've been awake for 32 hours now. Tired, but not complaining. As i sit, my Manager approached me.
"Coffee or Tea?"
I can't help but smile. He knew i was never fan of both. I grew up on chocolate drink rather than coffee. Tea has never been on my list, it's too bland for me. Well, until Jennie came.

It was Sunday and I've long accepted that Sundays won't be rest day anymore--well atleast for a while since i have a practice and photoshoots from Monday through Saturdays and meetings on Sundays.
"Lisa, coffee?"Jennie approached me with two cups at her hand. She gave me one and started sipping hers. She spoke again after a while."Heard you don't drink coffee."
"Uh. I drink, but not too much"I said. You sipped your drink again with your eyes closed, i stared at you and gave attention on how you enjoyed that one sip--from how your lips touched that little opening on the cup up until your third sip.
"You know, i love coffee so much. Its like, my day can't go on if i don't start it with coffee. Do you know its magic? Its like, it awakes your senses through its taste, but people can alter its sweetness or bitterness up to their liking."I chuckled with your blabber. I love how you're opening up more to me these days.
"But what i like more about coffee is its deception."You said and stared at your cup. I did not speak to encourage you to continue.
"People often buy it because of its aroma. It can smell sweet. But once it reaches your taste buds, it isn't as sweet as what you expect."And then you looked through the crowd."Just like people. People give you sweet smiles, then they still give you bitter treatment. And once you get dose of their personalities, they would write badly about you, they would treat you indifferently no matter how good they appear on the outside."
You taught me about expecting less. But with you Jennie, I always get more than what I could have wanted.

I was about to answer my Manager that i could use up some coffee, when i saw him drinking his own tea.
The breeze in Seoul has never been kind to us. We could only get having the comfort of our scarfs. Luckily that night, we had more spare thick sweats fresh from laundry. You lent me your Black one knowing i won't wear the Pink...
"I got us tea!"Your face is gleeful. I could stare at you this happy, forever.
I gulped down a pour from our cup, afraid that it might cool down because of the cold midnight gust.
Surprisingly, it's not like what i have expected. It's not bland but not the hollow bland; it's almost tasteless but i can fully taste a hint of sweetness. And surprisingly, i did not dislike it. On a freezing night, i feel its warm gush on my throat and soothe the chill away. It pacified the elation of my senses. Like your hand Jennie. One touch and all my worries would go away.
You taught me to try something out of my comfort zone Jennie, and you--you always be my calmness in the midst of our perturbed world
Now i am really confused what to get. The thing about you Jennie is you leave marks on whatever you touch. You leave memories on places you go. And you bring a beautific change to whoever you meet.
"Took you long enough to chose..It's just Coffee or tea."I hastily looked over where the voice is coming from and smiled.
Then you linked your arms to me as you stoop down to bestow a gentle kiss on my cheek, before whispering
"Or do you want me instead?"
You. Naughty you.
But of course, love. Of course i would always choose you in a heartbeat, because in this world full of rage you calm my mood. In this world full of deception and lies, you are my only truth...
