Banana Milk || Jikook

1

Okay, this is it. I better not mess up this time. Taehyung gave up the job for me. So I can't get fired again.

Before I walk towards the bright shop lit up with neon lights, I open the conversation between me and Taehyung on my phone, remembering the bits of advice he sent me earlier.

Taehyung- You've got my old night shifts so you have to be there at eight

Taehyung- Your boss is Yoongi hyung. He is a really sweet and caring person if you don't get on his wrong side, but he doesn't like to show it.

Taehyung- Oh and don't fall asleep!!

~•~•~•~•~•~

I put my bag down beside the cash machine with another deep sigh. Yoongi was nice I suppose. Very straightforward. Before settling down at the counter, I pick up a children's banana milk from the shelves. After leaving the correct amount of money in the till, I poke the straw attached to the side through the packaging.

I have this weird obsession for kids banana milk. It just tastes so sweet, smooth and cold and its very addicting. I don't understand why its only made for kids. Adults should be allowed to enjoy it too.

After quenching my thirst, I finally settle down. Its gonna be a long night.

Time ticks by slowly. Two hours....and still not a single customer.

"Jiminnn~" a slightly deep voice calls. My heart lightens at the familiar voice. Taehyung. I get up from the counter hurriedly and I jump at him with a tight hug. The warmth of his embrace makes me want to just fall asleep right there and then. Taehyung chuckles softly, plants a kiss on my head, and gently pulls away from me. "So how's your night been?"

After telling him briefly about my uneventful night, he laughs at my bored tone. "That's why I got fed up with this job" he says shaking his head. "But I need the money" I sigh thinking about the rent I have to pay soon.

"Jimin, forget rent and just move in with me. It'll be so much easier" Taehyung sighs expressing his thought on the subject for the millionth time. I shake my head defiantly. "I don't want to depend on anyone. And I'd hate to be a burden to you. How many times do I have to repeat this?" I tell him sternly. He gives up easily, knowing how stubborn I can be.

"Ooh it's getting late! I need to get back now." Taehyung says suddenly, looking at his watch. "Okay" I reply shortly, sick of this job already. "Hey, don't worry okay? It's alright, your shift ends in another hour" he assures me, sensing my annoyance. I pout, not wanting him to leave me alone. He laughs and pinches my cheeks. "I'll come round tomorrow morning if you are awake, okay Chimmie?" He says. I nod and he presses his lips to my forehead and leaves swiftly.

The bell for the shop door rings for the second time this night. I watch as a tall, young looking guy walks into the shop. For some reason, he completely captures my undivided attention. Dressed fully in black, his face was kinda covered by the shadow of his hood.

I watch his movements as he heads to the drink section picking up something I can't see from the shelf. He looks so familiar with the shop. Maybe he is a regular customer here.

He walks towards the counter, towards me. The boy looks up at me for the first time and he frowns. "How may I help you?" I ask, slightly intimidated by his perfect features. Especially those soft pink lips that looks so kissable. And his eyes that has this attractive never-ending depth. And his pale flawless skin. Oh my god why am I having these thoughts about a complete stranger?! I compose myself as he opens his cute mouth to speak.
