@soliloqued (Kore)
With autumn falling into winter, his favorite cafe has been forgoing their pumpkin spice, apple cider, and Halloween specialties in favor for a more festive feeling for the winter solstice, or what humans would call the Christmas season. Peppermint mocha latte; why ruin a fresh herb with something so thick and heavy as chocolate syrup? Caramel brulee latte; sickeningly sweet. Gingerbread latte; why not just eat the gingerbread? It’s bound to have the same amount of sugar and calories. Eggnog latte; what even is that? Toasted marshmallow latte; ....
Kyungsoo hesitates softly as he reads the last festive latte flavor. Since he’s arrive he hasn’t strayed from his order of rosehip milk tea, hot. Marshmallows on their own were very sweet, but when roasted (or toasted) over a fire they lose of of that sweet and get a slightly bitter taste to them which Kyungsoo enjoyed greatly. He’s left with the biggest dilemma of his nineteen years of life. Does he deviate from the normal and try something new? What if he bought both? Technically it would still keep his track record of ordering rosehip milk tea each time, but it would also still technically mean he’s deviating from his order since he’ll be getting two drinks. Honestly he was giving himself a headache now.
Rubbing at his temples he only has one more person in front of him before he has to make up his mind. It seems like an impossible task at hand. Perhaps he’ll make a friend just so that he’ll get them to order the toasted marshmallow latte for him. That was a good loophole isnt’ it? Technically he didn’t order it...he was gifted it. So far that’s probably the only reason he wants to make a human friend.
Sighing in defeat he sticks with his normal order, but stops in his tracks as he reads the name on the woman’s name tag.
“Kore?”
He says a little taken back. That was his mother’s name before she took Hade’s hand and started to rule the Underworld by his side for half the year. It made him narrow his eyes at the woman, he had head of Gods and Goddesses presenting themselves as humans to experience some of their every day life, or to check up on (meddle with) some humans. Was his mother here to spy on him? Did she really think he’d forget her Goddess of Spring only name?
...This couldn’t be a coincidence, could it?
