“I asked for mini pearls in my bubble tea, not big pearls!! I. haaaate. big. pearls!” 

“Sorry, that was my mistake... but won’t you take it this once? It would be a waste to throw it away.” 

“NOOOOO!” 

Juhee narrowed her eyes at the whiny boy with panda eyes standing in front of her. She silently passed him the cup of bubble tea. He shoved it back at her with a pout. Expressionlessly, she handed it back to him. 

“Why are you guys passing that cup of bubble tea to and fro?” quips a girl with big puffy curly hair, who had suddenly appeared in front of the counter. 

“QING UNNIEEEE THIS BOY IS BULLYING MEEEE STOP HIM!” Juhee broke her deadpan expression and launched into full whine mode. 

“Oh I’ll take this cup and you can make him another one,” replied Qing calmly. She picked a grey straw and handed it to the boy who was no longer whining, but leaning against the counter sulkily. 

“Here you go. It matches your dark eye circles."
