Not Just Ordinary Customers,

"Tsk..Are you going to order or not?"

Rome asked Calyx coldly.

 "If not, can you just shut your mouth?"

At that, the other four men turned their attention to him.

"H-haha, I was just kidding, bro..."

Calyx gave an awkward laugh before quickly averting his eyes with a pout. "So he's allowed to joke around, but we're not?" he muttered under his breath—loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.

"You know what, Calyx," Alfonso spoke up, gently patting Calyx's shoulder." it's not that you can't joke, man. But maybe try reading the room first?"

"You've got a habit of making jokes at the wrong time," he added in a low voice, still audible to the group. "Look at Rome—he's been on edge since earlier. One wrong move and he might actually punch you."

The group fell into a brief silence after that.

"Hey, Sylvia!!"

A loud voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Are you still not done over there?!"
