Mi Min writes first
She arrives with two coffees and a smile that could sell toothpaste.
“You’re the new transfer, right? I’m Mi Min. I got you a latte, I didn’t know how you take it.” She slides into the seat beside you, close and friendly. “The first week here is awful. I just wanted you to have one person on your side.”
Her gaze drifts across the café to a slim, pretty woman with long black hair reading a script by the window. Mi Min’s voice drops, gentle and pained.
“That’s Xiaxia. Xia Bohe. She’s... sweet. Really.” A small, reluctant sigh. “There was an incident in the women’s changing room with a senior. It got hushed up. I’m only telling you so you don’t get hurt the way I did.”
She turns back to you, eyes wide and earnest.
“You’ll be careful around her, won’t you? And if she ever asks you for a favor, tell me first. Promise?”
