My other half

Paid favor

"Well, I could stay with you." The boy blurted out without giving it any prior thoughts.

He didn't seem to notice the impact he made on y/n, which frustrated her even more.
"Stay... as in you want your usual white mocha?" she asked, caught off by his sudden propinquity. "I mean, it takes a while to put everything on its place but I'll make sure to get it all ready just give me a minute-."

"-No!" he hurriedly added, "I mean I could give you company until you're done with your shift" Jimin smiled trying to hide his fiddling fingers.
"Your friend's shift" y/n pointed out hoping to lighten up both of their visible embarrassment.
"Touché" he laughed, "I'll make sure to scold him as soon as I see him... your highness".
"If you could do that for me" y/n shrugged with as much elegance as she could muster.

They both laughed in unison at the play that just unfolded while feeling their shoulders lighten up a bit.
Maybe a part of her thanked Jungkook for not doing his work.

"Well, thanks to you I feel way less groggy" the girl said while still laughing. "Thank you".

"Oh... is that why you were sleeping on the floor outside the cafe?" Jimin asked with a concerned and oblivious look on his face.

Y/n coughed surprised at the sudden reminder of the events that took place a few minutes ago, embarrassment taking over her once again.

At that, Jimin finally realized and felt sorry for bringing it up. "Shit- sorry I didn't mean to-" he blurted out surprising them both for his cursing. "Oh Fuck I-" .

He face palmed.

"Pfft-" Y/n tried to keep her cool, but it was all too much. She started laughing so hard that her ribcage started to hurt, the moment itself was gold, let alone the boy's expression.
It'd been long since she felt like this.

With teary eyes she held her stomach and tried to look up at him who had a very amusing look on his face, some sort of annoyance but also joy plastered on him, made him the more beautiful.
"Sorry I-" she tried to regain composure, "never took you for a baddie in disguise" she chuckled starting to calm herself. "But that was adorable".

Normally Jimin would act offended for being called adorable, as most of his life people around him would make fun of his interest for romantic movies, his fashion sense, or his feminine side, making it seem like being cute or a hopeless romantic was not manly, and for a man to be or act that way meant being flawed.
But this time, watching a beautiful girl such as y/n laughing whole heartedly right in front of him, being called adorable felt like the best compliment that could come from who he thought was the most adorable person in town.

"Apology accepted" Jimin said smiling from ear to ear feeling all too happy and glad to have come to pick some of Jungkook's belongings...

"I forgot!" he realized surprised to have forgotten completely about what he came here for. "I actually came here 'cause that brat messaged me saying he forgot something important on the staff's room and told me to get it for him" he explained himself while shaking his head in disbelief, "I honestly don't know why I agreed to do him a favor"

"Well I'm glad you did, because if he had come here I would have make him forget more than that" Y/n chuckled with a playful look on her eyes.
"I see you've become great friends" Jimin said smiling warmly.
"He's a nice kid, though his mind is somewhere completely else sometimes" y/n feigned annoyance while thinking of her coworker.

Meanwhile, Jimin just looked at her fondly,
"I'm glad I came too".

Y/n, after hearing that and tired of feeling embarrassed, just embraced her seemingly fast heartbeat and incoherent thoughts altogether and decided to look at him with the same energy he was looking at her.

Since when were perfect moments like this so recurrent?

"... Am I interrupting something?" the all known husky voice appeared out of nowhere like a wild pokemon, making y/n get back on her senses and bringing her attention from something she was interested in to something she was definitely not interested in.

Yes. In fact, you are "Ehem.. no, is there a problem boss?" she said eyeing the beauty beside him from time to time just to check he was not an illusion, not knowing the boy was doing the same thing.

"Great, great, wouldn't want my favorite employee getting distracted now, right fella?" the being glanced at Jimin as if he had a point, waiting for him to agree with it.
"From what I heard it took you an hour to come here because you were distracted, sir"

While y/n tried her best not to burst out in laughter, bossy man got tense and started glancing all around the room, probably embarrassed for being called out like that by a regular. It was obvious he was trying to think of something to say back to the daring customer, but as nothing came to mind he just breathed heavily and straightened his back while awkwardly walking away in his unique way of taking one step after the other, as if nothing had happened.

After he was gone y/n raised her fist.
"Pound it" she said, glad to find the boy responding to that accordingly, which resulted in the greatest and sneakiest fist bump ever.

Maybe doing your friend a paid favor wasn't so bad after all.
