Your life was fairly mundane. Wake up, go to your dreaded college classes, do homework, go work at the boba shop near campus, and sleep. Rinse and repeat. Every day.
Your job wasn't any better. Whether it was dealing with the snooty teenagers that demanded their drinks look "aesthetic," to the older people complaining that you got their drink wrong when you swear you got it completely correct, some customers just loved to make your life a living hell.
Other than those demons of customers, nothing happened. You sat there, made some drinks, and watched as the time ticked away until you could finally go lay in your bed.
Everything was fine and dandy for the most part, albeit a little boring. You made decent money for a part-time job and it was fairly easy work. However, your job got much more interesting once he began to show up.
The first time he walked into the little boba shop, you were floored. He was quite literally the most handsome man you had seen in your entire life. Your face began to heat up due to the handsome stranger in front of you.
You shook your head, you couldn't think like that about a customer! It didn't matter how attractive he was!
You watched, face still red, as he stood a few feet away, contemplating the menu on the back wall. His voice startled you as he spoke;
"What's your favorite drink?"
Why was he asking you that? Why did he need to know your favorite drink?
"O-oh, uh, well, my favorite is the taro milk tea," you stuttered out. You were surprised you could even finish a sentence in front of him.
The man chuckled, "Well, Y/N, I will have one small Thai milk tea and one small Taro milk tea."
"How did you know my- oh right, my name tag," you mumbled, embarrassed, "T-that will be six thousand won!"
He handed you a 10,000 won bill, laughing slightly, before telling you to keep the change.
He was handsome and generous? Okay, maybe it was your flustered mind talking, but he was basically perfect boyfriend material.
Quit thinking about that!
As you made his drink with red cheeks, you occasionally glanced over at him. He was handsome, you couldn't deny that. You wondered if he went to the same university.
You kept stealing glances at him. That is, until he looked up and met your eyes. You quickly turned away. You wished that you could disappear into the floor right then and there, your whole face scarlet.
You didn't see, but he grinned at your embarrassed state. You were so endearing to him.
You called him up so he could grab his drinks. Once he had both, however, he handed the taro drink back to you.
"Here, it's for you," he smiled, sliding the drink back over to the light blue counter towards you.
In your flustered state, you hadn't realized that the second drink was for you.
"Oh, you really didn't have to do that! I, uh, get a discount off my drinks since I work here, but thank you."
"It's no problem, really. I'd do anything to keep talking to you, cutie." You thought your face was hot before, but now your whole body was burning.
