charisma starter (5/5) for @yoohyeonrk

It’s finally the weekend, which meant that both Jaemin and Yoohyeon’s schedules are relatively free. Rather than go see a movie where neither one of them can talk, Jaemin had suggested earlier in the week they meet up for some milk tea. He doesn’t go that often and for some reason the sugary drinks had been calling out to him all week. After a bit of bickering, Jaemin pays for their drinks and they sit down. The environment of the cafe is surprisingly luxe yet comfortable, with its plush furniture and fake chandeliers. On one wall is an LED light with “spill the tea” written in bubbly handwriting.

“Aren’t you glad I suggested we go somewhere other than your work?” Jaemin asks, while scrunching his nose. Yoohyeon’s work is a cute comic and cat cafe but it didn’t make sense for him to suggest that they hang out at her work. No way they could gossip with her coworkers lingering around. He hadn’t seen Yoohyeon since Halloween and it’s already the end of November. Projects have piled up for Jaemin, taking up all of the free time he used to have. “I’m glad we got to meet up! We barely got to chat at the Halloween event, which is my bad. I had to take photos of everything.”

Trying to sound nonchalant, Jaemin breaks eye contact to look at the LED sign on the wall. “So, got any tea to spill?” With his lips puckered, his eyes trail back to Yoohyeon. “New man? New drama?” After unwrapping his straw, Jaemin stabs the top of his milk tea with boba, with a bit too much force. The cup breaks open on one side. With a high-pitched scream, Jaemin tries to cover up the hole. “Ah! No!” He rushes to the counter with his drink. After the employee takes his drink and makes him a new one, he quickly runs back to clean up with some napkins. “Maybe you should stab it for me.”
