For my excellent friend and first reader MCHGshortie (happy late bday)😂
Sorry it took so long. 😅
You wiped the counter, then moved on to the tables dotted around the room. "Are you seriously going to sit there and stare at me or sit there and say something?" you paused. You've had to work around him three times now, and your exhaustion is making your patience shorter. "Sorry. I just like seeing you work. You look so focused... It's cute." Despite mumbling the last part, he spun to face you now, turning left and right on the swivel chair at the counter. "Plus you might get hurt if you don't focus." "Well unless I want extremely painful coffee burns every ten seconds, I guess you're right." you remarked,cleaning the coffee machine then tossing your cloth in with the unwashed ones in a box under the counter. "You ready to go?" Jungkook hopped up, eager to change location. "Calm down, I need to get my stuff from the back and put away my apron. I'm not leaving dressed like a vintage baker's daughter." you called from the door.
"That would be cool though. You could hand out bread rolls and baguettes and..." he rambled on, getting way to into it. "Aw. I was hoping I convinced you!" he grumbled, when you came back in your regular clothes, which was just a white shirt, pine green jacket, jeans and guess what? Converse. "You going on about handing out types of bread is funny, but not job worthy. Plus, I couldn't even afford all that bread. I would smell like bread all the time too, and I'd have an apron that always has flour on it. I'd end up giving cookies out to regular customers while they wait and- Wait, how on earth did you manage to make me think of the details?! You're too persuasive..." He laughed in triumph and you shook your head, laughing with him.
"Lets go!" he beamed, dragging you from the doors the moment you locked the cafe. "Someone's excited. Are we going somewhere?" you jogged to keep up without tripping, but he was holding your hand so tight you felt embarrassed. He wasn't one to do something like this, and you two had quite a shy relationship, but occasionally he would be more expressive. When you reached your destination, you laughed. He stopped, and turned to you annoyed. "Why are you laughing? We aren't even there yet." He looked so serious you blushed, and, realising how bold he sounded, he shrank back with a red face. "Oh, um sorry. I was just- I mean um" he mumbled, taking your hand. You pressed your hand against your face, like you often did when he did these things. You could tell he was smiling, so you pushed him gently and looked at the floor so he couldn't see that you were smiling too. "So, how far are we?" "It's only a few stops, the bus should be coming in 4 minutes."
You two sat in a silence that wasn't awkward, but more comfortable. You looked down at your feet, swinging them off the ground and thinking. Jungkook pulled your hand over to his lap so he could hold it with both hands. You weren't paying attention, and just let him while you watched. Things like this were nice to you, times when you would just sit together, not needing to say anything. You noticed that hes been looking at the doodles on your hand and start to explain them. He smiles when he sees his name written in small letters so you pull your hand back. "Wait! I wanna see," he laughed at how badly you didn't want to show him. The next few minutes consisted of a sudden tug of war and attempts to throw each other off with tickles, which thankfully, there was no one and the bus stop to see. "Stop it. The bus is here." he pushed you away weakly as you had been winning and he was dying from laughter. "So, will you tell me where we're going yet?" you tried again whilst fishing for you bus pass. "Nope."
