Night Sky [J.HS x Reader]

- T w e l v e -

It was a very busy day at the cafe today, which made it go all the more slower- which was surprising. The whole day involved everyone running around in the small space that we were provided with, trying to take orders and make them or trying to clear away dirty dishes.

Jimin has section us off into teams so that we had a specific job to do, Jin was to remain out the back to make the food that was ordered and Jimin was going to help him if things got too overwhelming for him. Jimin and Yoongi were in charge of cleaning he dishes and making sure that there were mugs and plates for every work station at all time.

That left Hoseok and I to prepare the drinks that were ordered by customers as well as taking them. It was difficult because we were backed up with orders already, but because Hoseok was a much faster barista than me- I took the orders when customers appeared.

"What can I get for you today?" I asked with a tired smile to a customer that was reading the assortment of drinks that were displayed on a board over my head. She tapped her chin in thought before returning my smile and saying what she would like.

"An Americano, to go please." She said and I nodded my head as I wrote down her order on my notepad with a pen, "can I grab your name please?"

"Ji Wo." She said with a grin, looking past me to Hoseok to see if it gained a reaction. Apparently it did.

"Noona!" He beamed with pride and a smile as wide as anything as he recognised the name. The woman smiled and chuckled as she made her way around the counter and embraced Hoseok with a grin.

My jaw dropped and my heart felt like it was going to combust from the amount of pressure that it felt at once, I slowly ripped off the order ticket and slid it onto the order line as I began to make the drink in a quiet nature. Luckily for us, it was nearing closing time and the number of customers were much lower.

"I didn't expect you to come here," Hoseok said as he pulled away from the woman's embrace and furrowed his eyebrows, "what are you doing here?"

The woman giggled as she pinched the taller man's cheeks while giving him a cute pout, "What? Can't your older sister visit you at work?"

I nearly dropped the coffee press but luckily my reflexes are heightened when I'm tired, yes it is strange but it always works in my favour, and I was able to catch the press before it fell.

Hoseok quickly glanced my way to check I was alright before turning his attention back to Ji Wo, who I now knew was his older sister.

What confused me most of all was the fact that I felt upset to see him embrace another woman. I had no idea why my heart felt like it was going to collapse and disappear entirely- and I didn't like it.

"She almost never does unless she wants something." Hoseok joked and Ji Wo punched his arm with a playful grin while her eyebrows flicked up  with mischief. I was almost in envy over how beautiful she was, anyone would've been on their knees for a woman like her.

I quickly put the lid on top of her drink and handed it to her with a grin, she took it into her hands and gently bowed her head to me before returning her attention to her younger brother.

"I'm asking you for a favour. I have a new collection dropping tonight and I need a male and female model to fill in for two who evidently got sick on show night. It's only trying some swimmers! Please hoseokieeee." She begged cutely while holding her coffee cup up near her chest.

I could tell by the way that Hoseok sighed that he was used to his older sisters begging and was definetly not a stranger to it. I was cleaning down the machine and listening into their conversation while I also watched the remaining customers leave. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I was curious as to how Hoseok would react.

"Ahhhh Noona, you know I don't like modelling. Everyone can see me, everyone knows who I am." Hoseok sounded adement on the fact that he didn't want people to know who he was.

And I didn't blame him either. Attracting a lot of attention is not a good thing for the people that don't want it. It can become suffocating and unimaginably inconvenient when the only thing you wish for is some privacy.

"Pleaseeeeee! I'll take you out for a nice dinner if you do it!"

That was what had Hoseok sold, something told me that he would do anything for a good meal. He immediately agreed and they were both rejoicing with one another before Hoseok was the first to stop.

"Wait you said you needed a female model, didn't you?" He asked and his sister nodded as she took a sip of her warm drink, gently licking the residue from her top lip.

"I did, I'll still have to ask around for-"

Hoseok quickly leaned over and grabbed hold of my wrist as he pulled me into his side with a wide grin towards his sister, "then here she is!"

Immediately I felt my cheeks flush and I began to shake my head with a nervous laugh, "no I can't, I have no past with modeling- I'd probably get stage fright!"

But Ji Wo wasn't having a word of it. She had sat her drink down and held my face in her hands, her palms gently cupping my cheeks. She stared at me for a moment before her eyes began glowing and her smile widened to match Hoseok's.

"Jackpot!" She exclaimed.
