The color of Hyung’s favorite bubble tea has always amused me. It was a light purple that was soothing enough for the eyes, but vibrant, nonetheless, to immediately attract customers. Its unique hue, I realized, was what made it so popular.

Noona, however, hated the color purple. It was ironic, because taro tea was probably the only bubble tea she did not hate with a burning passion.

I didn't know why, though.

“Aw, Noona, I thought you were starting to like chocolate bubble tea,” I whined the moment I saw her carrying our drinks. Of course, hers was green tea.

She shrugged, sitting beside me. “But I didn't say I would order it on a daily basis. I'm not addicted to it like you are, Se Hun,” she teased, pointing at my drink. My cheeks felt at hot at her words. 

“Hmmm,” I pondered, tapping my fingers against my plastic cup, and scooting closer to her. “How about taro tea? You like taro tea, right?”

She shrugged again. “It’s the most tolerable.”

My face fell. That , that really . I wanted her to like Chocolate bubble tea.

“But you hate purple," I mused. "So...Why?” I prodded, determined to get answers from her.

“Because Lu Han.”
