With all the preparations for the upcoming race, Jungkook totally forgot that he's on cake duty for his little sister's birthday. With 2 days left, all bakeries he contacted declined Jungkook's custom order (his sister specifically said she wants a...

Jungkook follows the route on the maps and enjoys the cool wind that brushes against his exposed skin as he follows along busy streets. One foot after the other lands on the ground with a thud as he gets off from the bike. He parked his bike in front of a modern building that carries the name 'Sweet Inc' in big letters above the entrance. It's almost astonishing for Jungkook to see how different patisseries can look.
Just before coming here, he thought 'The Cake Whisperer' looked fancy, but this- not only does he have the feeling that if he were to get the dream cake, he would not only do it perfectly but also spend a lot of money which hasn't been his plan.
As soon as he sets foot inside the building, he's greeted by a fancy seller in a red uniform and a fantastic smell of fresh-baked pastries that throws him off. The given examples in the vitrine look stunning and perfectly done. Jungkook couldn't be more astonished but unfortunately so is the price - perfectly calculated on what seems like every gram.
"Welcome to Sweet Inc. How may I help you?" A man in a white uniform welcomes him from the side. His hands are tucked in white see-through gloves and his black hair is tucked underneath a headwear, holding it back from falling into his face. Furthermore, he wears a white apron that is tied behind his back.
"I would like to place a custom order."
"Then please follow me to the counter, so we can discuss all the details," the pâtissier says and leads the way, where he then checks the screen of a computer at the counter and looks up at Jungkook once he's ready to ask for more details.
Relief spreads through Jungkook's chest. It seems like he finally found a place that could manage his order.
"May I know what kind of cake you want and don't hesitate to tell me all the details."
"Sure. It's a birthday cake for my sister and she wished for a fairy themed cake with flowers, and it has to be big." Jungkook explains somewhat sheepishly and observes how the man notes everything down.
"What's the date for the event?"
"I would need the cake in two days."
The hand of the pâtissier halts on the white paper sheets he's writing on, causing Jungkook's stomach to fill with uneasiness. He feels his hands getting sweaty as the pâtissier looks up at him, facial expression unreadable.
"I regret to say the following, but we don't have enough work capacity in this time span. I can only suggest that you get one of the finished cakes from the display if it's urgent."
Jungkook shakes his head, hell-bent on not paying for one of the expensive ones when it's not even something similar to the cake he wants.
"I'm sorry but I need this specific fairy cake. If you excuse me, I need to continue my search and find another patisserie." With that said, Jungkook turns around and leaves the building. Cool, he's basically right back at square one. He groans innerly as he notices the sun setting, meaning that he has only a little time left, and the only other choice left that comes into his mind is searching in the small back streets for a patisserie although it's highly unlikely that he'll find one.
