“Ha? What breakfast?” Alexandra was confused. Kim immediately shook her head and waved her hand in front of her face. “It’s nothing. It’s nothing. It’s just a friendly competition between cousins,” Kim explained but did not elaborate on what competition specifically she was having with Charles. Looking at Kim’s glittering eyes and secretive smile, Alexandra did not press her to explain anymore. Whatever competition was that, it might be one of those stupid bets cousins and friends made between them that was not for other people’s listening. She and Chunnie used to have plenty of those when they were younger, like when they bet on whose grades would be higher, and the punishment was to get a nip ple ring. Yes, a nip ple ring. Alex had two and Chunnie had one because he lost once to her.
