crash at your place // taekook

2 - "a barista"

taehyung's

"taehyung-ssi! i've prepared dinner. it's on the table, it's for you. i'll be out in a while so i won't be eating dinner here." i felt my sleepy ass snap back awake when i heard jungkook call out to me outside of my bedroom. i checked the time and it was already 7pm. dang how long was i doing this essay? and yes, i'm still not done with this. somehow i'm having a hard time grasping the assigned topic.

"okay! and uh, thanks!" i responded. and then i heard footsteps from outside of my room followed with the sound of the door locking. i breathed out a sigh of relief and ponder about my current situation. "as time passes by, i am starting to regret this impulsive choice i've made. i don't think he's comfortable either with me, a total stranger, staying at his place." i facepalmed myself, "fine. i'll call for jimin instead. ugh why does he live far from the university? doesn't that give him a disadvantage??"

even though jimin is not here with me right now, i so badly want to curse at his stupid face.

instinctively, i grabbed my phone and sent a quick text to jimin before standing from my chair and trudged for the door. might as well eat what jungkook had prepared for dinner, it's bad of me to leave the food alone.

"thanks jungkook. i really owe you one huh." i told to myself once i plopped down on one of the dining chairs. i need to plan out what i am going to say to jungkook once he comes back but for now, let me relish in this delicious food sitting infront of me.

jungkook's

"man, that has got to BE the weirdest situation you've involved yourself with." namjoon hyung told me as he poured the coffee in the cup. i let out a laugh, "yeah, i know. but it's not like taehyung-ssi is a dangerous person."

he nodded, "but you'll never know. oh you poor boy, so gullible. i'm afraid i have to keep an eye on you more."

"what? i'm not a kid. i can take care of myself." then i stuck out my tongue. he just laughed and went on to deliver the two cups of iced americano that he prepared.

after leaving my place about 20 minutes ago, i went to my part time job. i work here in a small cafe known as Big Caffeine to somehow support my financial needs. but it looks like it will now turn into a less of a struggle now that i have someone sharing my expenses with me. the situation i am in is sure weird but at the most, it somehow helps me.

i took a quick glance in the place i am in right now and it's no different than usual. people are still filling this cafe and it looks like the number of people coming in won't decrease just yet. then my mind went back to taehyung-ssi. it's odd, really. to have a stranger, which at the same time is also your neighbor, come right at you and suddenly ask to live with you. "what a peculiar person." in other situations, it would be like a couple coming with the decision of li--

loud voices soon filled the cafe and i can't help but look at where the source was from. they were a group of men, they look rowdy enough to cause a stir in the cafe but not in the bad way. just something that'll shake the peaceful ambience in here.

"YAH JIMIN I THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH YOUR ESSAY?"  wow i take back what i just thought of before, they sure are loud. i heard the jimin guy reply back, "dumbass i AM already done. anyways i'm going to order some drinks, do any of you want drinks?" he stood up from where he was sitting. "a treat?" another guy replied to him and with that jimin just turned on his heel and headed towards the cashier.

oh right that's my position as well. and did i just eavesdrop in their conversation? before i knew it, jimin was standing in front of me. "hello mr.,.. jungkook!" he chirped at me.

"excuse me?"

"oh sorry, it was our nametag." he said cheekily. "no, i mean i'm just surprised you had to greet me like that." i prepared the cash register, "so, may i take your order?"

"i'm going to have the barista's drink. probably grande sized." i hummed in response and typed in his order,  "anything else? like cakes, or cookies?" i suggested. he was about to answer when his phone rang, "ah wait jungkook-ssi." he put his phone in his ear, "i'll have some of that blueberry cheesecake. 2 slices please." he continued. i nodded and finished inputting his order. while i was calculating the total, he said out a familiar name that caught my attention.

"yeah i read your text taehyung. i'm coming over at your place after a few hours. i just need to finish a groupwork." wait, he knows taehyung? and he's headed over to his place......? which would mean....my place? i didn't notice him ending the call and hiding his phone when he snapped his fingers in front of me. wow, for a customer he sure is perky. "how much is it?" he asked.

oh right he ordered. i went off with finishing the input before telling him the total cost and then prepared the coffee. he went back to his table with his friends and my mind went back to his short conversation with taehyung-ssi. "i guess i'm going to have to encounter him again one way or another."

"woah there kid who are you talking to?" namjoon hyung surprised me with his sudden intervention. he just came back from the storage room. "me. i'm talking to myself." i answered him directly while putting the slices of cheesecake on a plate. "sometimes jungkook you scare me."

i snorted, "glad to know hyung."

i wonder, is taehyung-ssi eating the meal that i cooked? if he is, what could be his thoughts on the food?
