" i'm proud ! and we can always converse in korean if you ever want to practice ! " having been going to seoul back and forth since she was young and with her dad having multiple assignments in the country, it was quite easy for her to pick up on the language, though millie of all people knew how hard it is to learn a completely new vernacular the older one gets.
allowing adriana to order first, giving her an encouraging smile as she orders and even doing a lil' clap afterwards, she breezes through hers, knowing exactly what she wanted and what kind of toppings she wanted, going for the egg and nori combination. " must be that ! weirdly though, the galbi in LA tastes better than around here. isn't that odd ? " she also frequents that city a lot, having tons of relatives in there.
" girl oh my god, we should get a massage soon ! make a spa day out of it, maybe ? " millie knew just the place. it wasn't cheap, that was for sure . . which is why, she needed to get the truth out as soon as possible so it doesn't eat her alive anymore.
pausing for a moment, she reaches for adriana's hand across the table, " well, i haven't been completely honest . . with anyone, really. except now. "
she prefaces her story with that before continuing, " okay, so, i don't— like, no one knows in my inner circle that i do this. simply put, my family, well, my parents will be livid if they ever found out i dance over at a place like nabi. " millie can feel her chest loosening the more she spoke, and so, going along with this good feeling, she adds, " i'm more of a university, academia kid when the sun is up, if you know what i mean ? my parents are hella strict, too. " felt good to finally say something to her new work bestie and soon-to-be bestie, " i do it because it makes me feel . . free. "
