Aesin had been staring at the cup in front of her, the warm liquid inside swirling around in pleasant, light brown swirls. Her hands had been gently placed around the cup, the only problem was that she wasn’t going to drink it.
She looked up at the other person sitting across from her, then back at her coffee, then back at the person, back at the coffe… And back at the person. She opened her mouth as to say something, but then closed it back up. It was stressing her out.
Aesin finally cleared her throat and leaned in a bit closer, her voice almost a whisper; “Does this look like soymilk to you? It looks… The color is off…”
the loosely scrawled words in her notebook are starting to jumble and blur together — a good indicator that she’s had enough studying for one day. chaeyul sighs as she flips the book closed, her eyes fluttering tiredly before she catches the other looking in her direction. her brow arches; her tongue clicks. she leans forward with her elbows on the table before peering deeply into aesin’s cup, squinted gaze trying to find some kind of clue in the colour or texture.
after a long moment of contemplation, she concludes, “...it looks like coffee.”
chaeyul lets out another sigh as she slumps back in her seat, twirling around the straw in her own drink as she takes an unnecessarily loud sip. “go bother the fella at the counter? i can barely think right now, much less assess whether the milk in your drink is soy or cow or some fuckin’ organic almond bullshit.” she pinches the bridge of her nose. “sorry. uncalled for. this stupid chapter review’s just killing me a lil’.”
