Far Away (BTS Hybrid Au)

A Bad Morning Shift

Eun-Jae's pov

I woke up being cuddled by both Jungkook and Taehyung, squished in between the two. Jungkook's arm was draped over mine, his other one tangled in his hair. My back faced him, while I was facing Taehyung's chest. His leg draped over my waist, his face squished into the pillow while his arm was laying on top of the arm Jungkook had draped over me. I let out a small yawn, reaching up to rub my eyes and tried to shift so I wouldn't wake them. Sometime very early this morning, we were all woken up because Yoongi and Jimin had managed to surprise Namjoon and get downstairs. I remembered just how angry and aggressive Yoongi sounded and it really freaked me out, he has never, ever been like that before. Not even when they first started living with me, Yoongi had always somehow kept his control so that he wouldn't harm me during his heat. It was the same for Jimin, both of them taking so many different precautions in order to keep me safe from their frenzied state in heat. I knew that once Yoongi came out of that daze where lust had taken over, he would realize what had happened and wouldn't stop apologizing to me. I rubbed my eyes, carefully shifting as to not wake the two beside me and peered over Jungkook's shoulder to look at the clock. It was about ten in the morning and my shift started at 12, so I needed to get up and moving if I wanted to be ready for my shift on time. I carefully flipped onto my back, scooting up some to sit up. I leaned back against the pillows, carefully removing both boys' arms and laid them on their side. Jungkook shifted, he turned his body over and faced the clock while Taehyung gripped the pillow beside him. With me successfully managing to get clear a way for me, I slowly crawled out of bed, I planted my feet softly on the ground, managing to crawl over Taehyung and headed to the door. Luckily, I didn't wake either of them and unlocked the door to get out. I looked back at the boys, smiling to myself and headed out of the room. I quietly closed the door, heading towards the kitchen where I smelled something good cooking. I peeked around the corner, perking up as I saw Hoseok in the kitchen cooking. I blushed as I watched him cooking, he looked so handsome and at peace while cooking. It was adorable to see him like this, his eyes shining brightly as he stood over a pan stirring something. His ears twitched, a smile appearing on his lips. "I can tell you're watching me, Pup." He said, a smirk crossing his lips. "So what if I am? I mean, you are my boyfriend, aren't you?" He looked up at me, the spatula he had in his hand waved slightly.

"That I am." He smirked, "You have a shift today, don't you?" He asked, turning off the stove as he had finished cooking. "Yeah, I do. I won't be back until later this evening." I sighed, "You want me to pack you a lunch?" I gave him a small smile, "Nah, Felix and Hyunjin are treating me to lunch today."

"Still haven't heard from Han?"

"Nope. But it can't be helped. If he wants to hate me, then I'm not going to stop him. After all, losing his mom the way he did was painful enough. He's not ready to fully accept this." I shrugged, heading over to him. He leaned down a bit and pecked my lips lightly, "I'm gonna go get ready. Yoongi and Jimin are sleeping, right?"

"They should be."

I glared down at my small writing pad, writing down the order that was being given to me by one of the customers who had come in with her friends. They all were acting like they were better than everyone else in the café, like they owned the damn place and it pissed me off. What's worse is that I had to deal with all of this so early in the morning. After taking down the order, I went to the counter and told Sehun what it was she ordered. When he told me that we didn't have it today, I sighed and inwardly groaned as I would now have to tell her that we didn't have that particular pastry today. "Oh, cheer up, Jae. She really can't be that bad." Suho patted my back, I shot him a look and he quickly backed off. I had told them a few days ago that I was the mate of all seven boys and they were all platonic soulmates, me being the only romantic mate to them. They were all happy about it, but it seemed that Sehun was a little worried about the whole thing. Sensing my horrible mood, Baekhyun handed me a small chocolate covered pastry. "You're gonna need it." He smiled, his ears twitching ever so slightly. Jin was not with me today, he had to take care of Jimin and Yoongi. So he opted to stay home with them, Hoseok filled in for Yoongi at the music shop and Namjoon had just gone to do his shift at Jin-young's bookstore. That left Jungkook and Taehyung, Tae went with Hoseok to help cover Yoongi's shift at the music store while Jungkook decided to come with me to fill in for Jin. I took a bite of the pastry, giving Baekhyun a grateful nod and swallowed it. I handed the leftovers to Jungkook, picking up my notepad and readied myself to deal with the customer. After informing the customer with the fact that we didn't have what she wanted, she then proceeded to throw a fit. I walked away feeling extremely pissed off but that's not what made everything worse.

"Come back here, you lousy good for nothing bitch!!! I'm not done with you!!" She screamed, her blonde hair shaking with her. This caught Jungkook's attention, as he poked his head out from around the corner. The pissed off customer tried to throw her drink on me as I had my back turned but instead, she had thrown it onto another customer who was passing by. That customer happened to be one of the sweetest customers we ever had in the establishment for months and her boyfriend, well... He wasn't too keen on people who picked on her, especially because she was a very shy Red Panda hybrid.

"Oh no...." Baekhyun muttered, "Hyung?" Jungkook called. I turned around slowly, catching sight of the large tiger hybrid who easily towered over the young woman who had thrown her drink. Seeing how distressed our friend looked made me really pissed and before anyone could do anything, I threw down my notepad on the counter.

"Wait, Jae!" Sehun called, but I didn't listen to him.

"Hyung? What's wrong? Why do you look so panicked?" Jungkook asked, looking over at the trio standing behind the counter. "Jae.. Is gonna kill that customer." Baekhyun shook his head, rubbing his face in his hands.

"Huh? I don't get it." Jungkook shook his head, wiping his hands on his apron before wiping down the counter with a rag.

"Just watch..." Suho trailed off.

"How dare you throw your drink all over my girlfriend?!! She hasn't even-" I cut off the boyfriend, stepping between the woman and him. "Excuse me, but I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." I said with a sickly sweet smile on my face, "Excuse me?!! Leave!! Yeah, that's not happening-"

"Oh, but Ma'am, it is. You see, we can refuse service to any customer. And if that customer is causing fights or problems with other customers and staff, we have the full right to kick them out." She let out a horrified gasp, "Now, since you are in that category of disruptive, rude and starting a fight. I have full right to ask you to leave. So I'll say it again." My smile dropped, as a dark look spread across my face. "Leave." With that being said, all of her friends grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the café. I turned around, apologizing profusely to the customers behind me and walked into the locker room to give the young red panda hybrid a new shirt.

"And that is why.. We never piss off Eun-Jae at the cafe." Sehun said, clapping Jungkook on the back as he went to get another customer.
