"What are you doing here?" you asked, trying to steady your racing heart.
"Hi," Jungkook said unbothered by your question his voice low and smooth. "Do you remember me?"
You straightened keeping your posture stiff. "I remember," you replied coolly.

Alba's POV
Jimin gave a small nod, his hand brushing against yours. "You okay?" he asked, keeping his voice low so the others wouldn't hear.
You nodded, though the knot of tension in your chest hadn't entirely loosened. "I'm fine. Just... it's a lot to take in."
Jimin's eyes softened. "I get it. I didn't thought Taehyung would do that to make things awkward for you with your coworkers. I just didn't know that."
"I know," you said, managing a small smile. "It's just going to take some time for everyone to adjust."
He nodded, his gaze understanding. "I'm not going anywhere, Alba. They can take all the time they need."
His words brought a sense of calm that you hadn't realized you needed. "Thank you." you murmured, squeezing his hand briefly before letting go. "For being patient with all of this."
Jimin smiled, a soft, genuine expression that made your heart flutter. "We're in this together. No rush."
You nodded, feeling a bit more grounded. Jimin leaned in just a bit closer, his voice dropping to a playful whisper. "I wanted to ask you out after your shift. Thought we could spend some time together, just the two of us."
His words caught you off guard, and a warmth spread through you at the thought. "That sounds nice." you replied, your smile growing. "But you didn't have to go through all this trouble just to ask me."
He chuckled softly, the sound sending a pleasant shiver down your spine. "Well, I wanted to see you anyway, so I figured I'd make it worth the trip."
You couldn't help but laugh lightly, the tension from earlier finally starting to dissipate. "Consider me convinced. I'd love to go out with you after my shift."
