Catch Me

4

"Oh? Your back!"

I'm barely inside the door when I can hear one of the workers talking to us. I glance over at the corner and see I think it was Seokjin smiling at us. I smile back and give a nod to him, quickly I get inside with Jimin right behind me.

"Well, you guys have the best ice cream in town." 

"Almost addicting," Jimin adds walking straight up to the counter and leaning on it. "You went to the show last night didn't you." He asks with a cocky smile. Seokjin nods and glances at me and Jimin. 

"Ah yes. I saw you guys. Your performance was amazing, very talented." He compliments, reaching to his side. "Oh!" He mumbles in surprise as his hands find nothing. "Jungkook! Where did you go with all the waffle cones?" Seokjin yells out to his coworker. With Seokjin's head turned away Jimin takes his opportunity and elbows my side and shoots me a wink. I roll my eyes and groan quietly before we hear a voice call back to Seokjin. It was quiet at first back I assumed it was Jungkook. Sure enough, his head pops out of the back archway and pulls out a tray of chocolate-covered waffle cones.

"Sorry Seokjin, I had to put the cones in a colder place so the chocolate would harden." Seokjin sighs as Jungkook sets the tray down in its place. He looks up and notices me and Jimin. A small smile grows on his lips and his eyes seem to shy away from mine. "Oh hey, we saw you last night." Seokjin groans with a playful smile.

"Well if you were here earlier you would have known that they had seen us in the audience!" Jungkook winces as Seokjin yells at him. He nervously giggles and runs a hand in his hair, ruffling the back. 

"I'm sorry." Jungkook quickly bows his head in our direction and he quickly pulls on a pair of gloves. "What can we do for you guys?" He asks, work mode kicking in. 

"She'd like your number," Jimin says casually as he leans against the counter. I feel a flush of heat rise up to my face and Jungkooks eyes go wide.

"JIMIN!" I hit his arm and his cocky face crumples. His eyebrows contort in pain and silent groan comes out. Seokjin looks over the counter at Jimin worried.

"Sir, are you okay?" Jimin holds up his uninjured hand and gives a thumbs up. A small bruise is beginning to form and I hear Seokjin sigh. "Stand up, come with me. We have some ice in the freezer." Jimin nods and I watch as he follows Seokjin to the back leaving me and Jungkook alone.

"I didn't realize I hit him that hard. Oh god, you must think so low of me right now." I bury my head in my hands, trying to hide my embarrassment. 

"Hand me your phone." I peek an eyeball out and see Jungkook holding a hand over the counter, a small smile showing. "Come on." His fingers do the 'hand it over' motion and so I pull my phone out of my pocket and open it before handing over to Jungkook. 

"What are you doing?" I ask quietly as he swipes and types on my phone. 

"Well, your friend Jimin said you wanted my number, and judging from your reaction he would be correct." He smiles wider before handing over my phone. The screen was open to a new chat. The contact was labeled 'Jungkook' and he had sent a quick message to himself. When I looked up I saw he had pulled his own phone. On the screen was a message from my number. 

"Oh." This was a first. I quickly put my phone back into my pocket as Jungkook's smile turned into a smirk. 

"Now that we have that taken care of, what else can I get you?" He asks and I'm just about to answer before Seokjin returns with Jimin. 

"Oh thank god your alive. I thought he finished you off." This makes both Jimin and Seokjin laugh. I start laughing as well and soon Jungkook joins in. We quickly calm down and Seokjin shakes his head.

"This guy is great. I might just steal him from you." Jungkook makes a face of fake hurt.

"What about me!" He asks looking defeated. Seokjin points to me and shrugs.

"Steal her." He says pointedly and Jungkook shrugs.

"Alright." 

"What!" This causes everyone to laugh again, it could have seemed to strangers we were friends instead of people who have only met twice. We finally get the chance to order our ice cream and Jimin once again pays. Over our friends' shoulders, Jungkook and I keep making eye contact that would end with one of looking away embarrassed or nervous. Jimin takes the receipt from Seokjin and waves goodbye to both of the men behind the counter. Both of them say goodbye as well and I say mine last. 

Getting in the car Jimin is about to put the key in before he turns to me and frowns. 

"Hey, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have blunt like that. It wasn't cool on my part." He apologizes and I grab his free hand in reassurance.

"Well, I shouldn't have hit you." I smile a bit before pulling out my phone and showing Jimin the message. "Besides, it worked." Jimin's eyes bulged out of his head and his mouth dropped. 

"OH MY GOD! Are you serious?? It worked!! SEE I am a matchmaker!" He is so excited he almost drops his ice cream and I quickly grab it from him. "You are never allowed to doubt me again." He smirks putting the keys in and backing up the car. "I knew it. I just knew this would happen." The entire ride he continues to compliment himself and his very hard work. Meanwhile, I enjoy not only my ice cream but his as well.
