--- "He can't hurt you anymore." ---

We were setting up the coffee shop. I flipped the open sign over and after just about two minutes, a man walked in, brownish black hair covering the sides of his head. He was dressed in a light pink, button-up shirt, and black skinny jeans. "Hello sir, what can I get for you?" I ask him, once he comes up to the counter. "Uh" he whispers, "I'm sorry?" he asks. "I'm sorry, what could I get for you?" I ask him. "Oh, can I have a caramel mocha, a vanilla frappuccino, two chocolate milkshakes and.." he trails off. "I don't know what everyone else wants" he says, pushing hair away from his face, looking up. Oh shit. "Oh my- Um yes, sorry, one moment." I say. I just took Jin, and presumably the majority of BTS's order? I walk to the back and prepare the four drinks. I come back out and put the drinks on the counter.

"Jin?" I ask, he walks up, looking at me weirdly. "How'd you know my name?" he asks. "Oh shit sorry, Um, I know BTS and listen to them a lot. I didn't mean to" I say, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear from where it lay in front of my face. "No, no, it's cute. Thanks for staying a part of A.R.M.Y!" he says, flashing a smile at me before grabbing the drinks and sitting around a table. I walk into the back and sit on my phone for a moment, I hear the little bell ring on the door and get up, walking to the front and see the other six members of BTS sitting with Jin. I walk over with a small notepad and pen. "When you ordered, you said you didn't know what three of them wanted?" I say looking at Jin. "Yes, Kookie, Tae, Hobi?" He asks and I look at Kookie.

"E?" he asks. "Kookie." I confirm. "Oh my God" he says, moving Namjoon over to get up and hug me. "How are you. Whats up?" he asks, mumbling his words into my hair. "I'm good, my mom is better, what about you? What's happening with all this?" I ask, ushering to the rest of the boys. "Sit with us, I'm confused" Namjoon says, I sit down in the eighth seat at the end of the table. "So, what's your name?" Taehyung asks me. "Eiko. Nakamura Eiko" I say. "You took your mom's name?" Jungkook asks me. I nod and he shrugs. "My mom was so sensitive about it so I took her name, my assignments and things you know?" I say. "If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" Jin asked. "Oh, when I was fourteen, my dad left me and my mom and brother back in New Hampshire, and left back to Japan. I lived there until I was seven, then I moved to Busan until I was eleven, that's how I met Kookie, then I lived in new hampshire until now." I clarify, "Where is Kesh?" Jungkook asks me. "He has been in Germany for studies for two years now actually." I say, he nods, "Oh" I looked around at the people I fantasized about and ended up seeing that Hobi looked tired, "Hoseok, coffee?" I aks and he nods, "Thank you" he says. Anything else for you guys when I'm up?" I ask. "Can I have a caramel macchiato?" Jungkook asks. "Ok, I'll be right back" I say, standing up and going to making the drinks. "Mom?" I asks and she comes out of a corner with a bit of chocolate on her cheek, I wipe it off with my thumb and smile. "Yes?" she asks, "Jungkook is here." I say and she smiles widely. "Where?" she asks, she always liked Jungkook and never thought he was the bad kid of my friend groups. "He's sitting down with the rest of his band." I say and she bows slightly, a habit of hers, "Thanks" she says and kisses my forehead, walking out to where BTS sat. I made the drinks quickly and walked out, putting a small sticky note under Jungkook's drink with my name and number on it.
