Beyond The Slumber: BTS and Me

Stolen Order (JJK)

I went to my go-to cafe to refuel after a draining workout. As I approached the counter, a barista greeted me.

"Hi! Can I take your order?" He asked with a friendly smile.

I glanced at his name tag for a moment. His name was Chris and he seemed cute.

"Uh, hi, Chris! I'd like the Iced Hibiscus Tea with Pomegrenade please" I said, trying to be a bit composed but deep inside I feel flustered.

"Alright. Anything else?" He asked while jotting down my orders.

"And oh, 1 everything baggel. That's all" I confirmed.

"Great! Now can I have a name for your cup, please?" He asked.

"Cookie" I grinned.

"Alrightie" he replied.

After paying for my order, I looked for the best spot to sit.

While waiting for my order, I found a good spot and opened my tablet to do a little journaling. After a while, I heard my name called.

"1 Iced Hibiscus Tea with Pomegranate and 1 Everything Bagel for Cookie!"

I quickly went to the counter to claim my order, but just as I reached it, a man tried to grab it.

I looked up at him with my raised eyebrow. I've seen this dude from somewhere. He has a pair of big bambi eyes and an angelic face framed by his wavy mullet. My guy feeling tells me he's Jungkook, but I could be wrong or maybe I don't know.

"Hey, that's mine!" he said.

"Sir, this is mine! I know what I ordered," I replied, standing my ground.

He looked confused. "But I heard 'Kookie,' so it's mine."

"My nickname is Cookie too!" I said, pulling out my receipt to show him. "See? This is my order. Next time, sir you need to listen carefully before you even argue with me."

Before the situation could escalate, Chris called out his order.

"Iced Americano for Kookie!"

And just like that, the argument ended.

He looked at me with sad puppy eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Cookie."

"Yeah, whatever," I replied, rolling my eyes out of annoyance as I turned back to my table.

I didn't realize he was sitting at the table right in front of me. As I focused on my journaling, I could feel his eyes on me, filled with a sad look.

Finally, I looked at him and approached him.

"Sir, can you stop staring at me and just tell me what you want?" I asked, my voice a bit sharp.

"Look, I'm really sorry. I'm just excited about my Iced Americano... I want to make it up to you. Just tell me what I can do," he said, sounding genuinely sad.

I sighed, finding it hard to resist his sad eyes. He looked so innocent that I even want to cry.

"Okay, you don't need to make up for anything. Your apology is enough," I replied.

"Thank you," he said, approaching me and extending his hand. We shook hands, marking a friendly end to our little conflict.

I decided to offer him a seat at my table, curious to know more about him. He smiled, accepting my invitation.

Note:
I'm not kidding when I say Cookie is my nickname. When I was in elementary, I used to have a pack of chocolate chip cookies in my lunchbox for recess breaks. Now that I've grown up and loving BTS, I'm embracing this nickname again because Jungkook is my bias and ARMYs call him Kookie obviously! 🤭
