Hey what's up heheh hope you had a great day because I felt like a stupid the whole day.

Jimin's POV
I press the button to turn off my alarm, I wake up excitedly, it's my first day at my new job; I now work at In-N-Out Burger and I haven't had a job in 4 years.

I slide on my black vans and red shirt for the job. I'm excited to meet new people. I only have one friend right now and it's Jin.

I grab my phone and keys and walk out of the house.

I hop into my white honda CRV and pull out of the garage, shutting it when I leave.

———-
"JK look it's the new guy" I hear in the distance as I want into the joint. "Yeah he looks scared. Why don't you say hey and welcome him?" I hear a different voice say.

I walk up to the counter and smile. "Hey I'm-" I get cut off by a man with purple hair. He looks me in the eyes, he has pretty brown eyes and a button nose.

"Jimin, right?" He says smiling, revealing perfectly straight teeth. "I'm Namjoon, but everyone calls me Joon, I'm the manager and pretty much everyone that works here are my friends, this is Jungkook, he goes by JK or Kook, and this is Tae, or V" he says pointing at different men, Jungkook has small lips and a rather big nose. V has a defined nose and blue eyes, but contacts and he has pink hair.

"We're all a big family. We didn't really want to hire anyone knew because we wanted to keep it with friends, but who knows" he says smiling, he leads me to the back and hands me a headset. "We don't have many customers today" he says laughing as JK pulls out a speaker from the back.

JK whips out his phone and I manage to see what's on it. 'this is:Drake' I laugh as he presses play.

"Trap, trap money" it plays without noise until they all join in singing except Joon, his arms are crossed, but not in a stern way.

V and JK are following the lyrics like the Cupid Shuffle but more intricately, their hands move in unison and I'm wondering if they've ever practiced this.

Namjoon walks over me to; I'm mesmerized by them dancing to even notice him.

"They do this all the time, it's normal." He laughs leaning on the same freezer I am on. We have the same stance but I don't think it was on purpose.

A little after 3 songs we get one customer, his nose is long and his hair falls in the center.

I move to the register and get ready to take his order.

"You got this Jimmy" Joon pats my back, kind of hard, I laugh but then I straighten my face when he comes closer.

"Hi," he smiles, right away I notice his smile, his teeth are big and he has a big smile. "Can I just get a hamburger" the way he says that is super cute, for a person; not in that way. Tae comes from behind.

"I got this order" he says scooting me out of the way. "Anything else" V looks really happy for some reason.

"Oh, AND SPRITE" he says excitedly. His smile grows wider, as well as V's.

Joon is already making the order and JK is sitting in the back bench on his phone. Before I know it his order is ready and I hand it to him.

He sits at a table alone and V looks at him from afar.

"Hey, he looks lonely, should I sit with him?" He asks me and I smile. I know what's going on. He likes him. I find this very cute; V looks like he hasn't had love in a while.

"I think hes fine, but if you like him, go for it" his smile doesn't fade as he lifts up the door and pulls up a seat by his table; he flips the seat around and talks to him.

I can't hear what they're saying but I can imagine it's cute. I wish I was in an early relationship again. Suga and I used to be like that. I frown a little.

"Hey do you have any itch cream? My back is killing me!" Namjoon comes up from my side. He's trying to imagine what they're saying. "Oh sure!!!!! Just hand it right back" he says in a higher voice, this time he's impersonating the customer. In real time, The man is hanging V his phone and he's typing something into it. "I thank you!! I needed that sooooo bad. I think I have crabs!" He says and they both laugh at the table.

Namjoon and i look at each other at the same time. His smile makes my heart skip a beat but I don't think it's in a weird way.

"That was funny" I say. "I think Tae is happy though" I say sincerely. "Does he every act like this?" I ask him and he looks around.

"To be honest with you, I've never seen him so happy. Sure he's always cheerful, but never with that look in his eyes" he says; he looks happy for his friend.

"That is so cute." I respond in awe.

It's now 9:30 pm and I was supposed to leave at 9. As I'm cleaning the registers I see Suga in the doorway. He is knocking on the glass door.

I unlock the door for him but warn him about he slippery floors. He walks carefully towards me.

"Come on, lets go", he says, grabbing my wrist. I get upset at this. I have to close and I don't have time for this.

"Suga I have to close. I'll be home in like 25 minutes." I turn to leave and I see Joon's face in the corner, he's looking at me while mopping the ground around the stoves. We make eye contact before suga pulls me a little his way.

"Please be home soon. I don't want to wait around all day for you" He says with a faint smile and leaves the building.

"Who was that?" Joon asks. He looks sincere, like he's dying to know.

"He's my boyfriend. We've been dating for 4 years" when I say that, his eyebrows raise.

"That's a long time, no offense but he seems kind of overprotective or controlling?" He says, I can tell by the tone of his voice that he is slightly concerned.

"Yeah. Sorta, he's been changing." I say, clearing my throat. Tears well up in my eyes; I try to bat them away but they don't move before Joon sees the sadness.

He leans the mop up against the stoves and walks over to me, cleaning the counters.

"Hey I don't know you that well, but I know it's gonna be okay, if things don't get fixed with him, maybe it's not meant to be" my eyes get more watery because I understand what he's saying. He grabs me a tissue from under the registers. "I'm sorry. I truly am" he grabs my right shoulder and squeezes a little before returning to his job.

I just met him but I know he's a great person. I wipe my tears and finish up.

I throw the used wash cloth in the dirty bin and grab my stuff from the back. I move towards the from of the building, locking the doors behind me.

I walk out in the cold air, I shiver slightly before unlocking my car.

"Hey if you need anything, I'm here, remember that" i hear his voice from my right, and I turn to see him.

The street lights his his face at an angle that makes his every feature look attractive. He crawls in his car, low to he ground, and before he closes the door and raises his hand up, his fingers are in a fist but his index finger is pointed out and his thumb meets his index finger at a right angle. I wonder what that means.

Before I drive home, I open my phone
