Perfect Timing

Chapter 12: Breakfast at Tiffany's

Y/n's POV:

   Tiffany shook my hand, and I sat down in the booth. The breakfast place wasn't very crowded and it had a strong diner like appeal. Four menu's were already at the table along with a cup of water for each person.

   I looked around. "Nice to meet you, I'm Y/n. Sorry I'm late, I didn't give myself enough time to get ready." I was only a few minutes late, but seeing everyone looking ready to order made me embarrassed.

   Tiffany looked reassuringly, "Oh, I've heard all about you. I know your sister from biology."

   My sister Marie chimed in, "Yea! Out of nowhere, this morning she texted me insisting she got to meet you. So, I invited her to our Saturday breakfast."

   "Oh, uh thank you." Tiffany was speaking politely, but I couldn't quite tell if it was genuine or not. "Oh right I think I saw you yesterday. Do you know Jungkook by chance?"

   Her smile faltered a bit, but she quickly fixed it. "I was pretty sure you looked familiar. You and Marie looking strikingly similar you know." She tapped the table, "You asked about Kookie? Me and him go way back! My parents love him. Always asking him to join our company." She smirked, "He's so handsome right? So many girls are falling over him. Probably why he doesn't date anymore."

   We were interrupted by the waiter who asked what we wanted to eat. "Hiya, my names Jimin, can I take your order?" He looked very familiar, but I couldn't recall from where.

   My sister was the first to chime in, "Oh hey I didn't know you worked here?" She looked towards us "We see each other at the gym sometimes." They were chatting a bit, but then he stopped when he made eye contact with Tiffany.

   "Oh right, I should get the orders..." he sounded hesitant now.

   I didn't mind, I was starving, so I spoke up eagerly, "I'll have the chocolate chip pancakes please! Oh, with hashbrowns on the side!" I thought for a second, "And a chocolate milk too" Jimin smiled to me as he wrote down my order.

   Tiffany smirked. "Awe How cute, she's like a little girl." She ruffled my hair messing it up a bit.

   My sister and Tiffany ordered next which was the same meal. A souffle thing? It sounded fancy, but it basically looked like strawberry topped pancakes with eggs on the side.

   The strawberry blonde haired girl put the menu down after studying and proudly said, "I'll take what Y/n's having" and she pointed to me, so the waiter could write it all down.

   I grinned and leaned forward, "Awe yea, sick choice Jess!" We high fived across the booth creating a loud snacking sound "chocky milk and pancakes!" Jimin chucked.

   "Alright, I'll have that right up for you." He winked at me and grabbed our menus from us.

   Tiffany's eyes follow him but looked to at me as soon as he was out of ear shot. "So Y/n, how long have you known Jungkook?" She twirled around her plastic straw between her fingers. They were decorated with flawless red nail polish. "You look like you could make a perfect little sister for him." She smiled and poked my nose.

   I looked down at my oversized hoodie and Jeans. Did I really look like that much of a kid? I compared it to Tiffany's attire that looked very expensive. Her shoes alone were probably the cost of my entire oufit.

   I wriggled my face. "Oh uh, thanks. I haven't known him too long." We sat chatting about school, and what events were coming up when we saw Jimin return with our food.

   My eyes felt like they were bulging out of my head. I hadn't eaten since before the party last night, and this breakfast looked delicious. He carefully placed our meals in front of us. "Ahhh! Thank you so much! It looks amazing," I grabbed my fork and knife about to start when I noticed the smily face made from whipped cream on the chocolate chip pancakes. "You guys look! Even my breakfast is happy!" 

   The waiter looked pleased with my response, "Awe you're cute, no wonder Jungkook was talking about you so much," I quickly blushed at the comment. He must be friends with him.

   "Oh uh thank you," I embarrassedly looked towards my happy pancakes reaching for the maple syrup. The rest of the table chuckled at my embarrassment. They too thanked him and he proceeded back towards the front counter.

   Tiffany looked at me, "You must make quite an impression, his friend even knows about you. I would be careful, you're going to upset a lot of girls if you stay around him." She smiled and ruffled my hair once again. By now it was getting a bit much, "wouldn't want his little sister getting hurt." The term little sister left a bitter taste in my mouth.

   Layering butter on my pancakes, "haha, I guess well see." I laughed off her comment, but I was getting a less friendly feeling now.

   Jess chimed in, "Of course they'll be jealous of Y/n. Everyone is already jealous with or without a guy." I felt that she was sensing my growing uncomfortableness with the situation.

   After my first pancake, I noticed I must had spilled some maple syrup on my jacket and excused myself to the bathroom. I stood up but tripped on someones foot underneath the table. Reaching for the table for support, I ended up spilling my chocolate milk. How does this keep happening to me?

   "Omg Y/n are you okay? Ah so clumsy," my sister looked at me embarrased.

   I quickly tried to wipe up the mess, but Jimin ended up bringing out a mop instead.

   I apologized profusely, "I'm not normally like this I swear!" I sighed noticing at the stains splattered on my jacket. "Well...now that I think about it..." my mind trailed to my lunch yesterday.

   After apologizing and finishing our food we said out goodbyes out front. I was waving and walking in the other direction when Tiffany ran back up to me and whispered, "You really made a mess of yourself today kid. Maybe it's best for you to stay away from him. Leave the adults alone, okay?" She smiled attempting to ruffle my hair again, but I swatted her hand away. She then hastily made it back to Marie and Jess who were across the street now.

   I wanted to punch her in her pretty face. Time travel and dump my drink over her. But it wasn't worth passing out again. I sighed and walked back to my dorm.

Jungkooks POV:

   I woke up exhausted from last night. The place around me was still Kevin's house. I must have fallen asleep on the couch. The brown couch wreaked of alcohol and sweat and I'm assuming the scent probably lingered on me.

   I stood up and stretched. After a yawn, I checked my phone that started buzzing. More emails. Ever since I came to school here I have gotten email after email about joining a record agency from the same company. I checked It out one time, but I quickly realized it was Tiffany's family that owned it. I declined their offer quickly. Other company's that reached out to me never answer when I email saying I'm interested. Not once actually. But Tiffany's company seems a little too invested.

   I sighed and swiped the notification away. I went to the bathroom and cleaned up a bit before staring into the mirror. I looked exhausted. Nothing a filter couldn't fix, I opened my snap chat camera and proceeded to take a selfie that screamed I didn't just wake up. Once I got a good one I wrote a comment that said good morning in large font. This is usually how I send my morning snaps to keep a streak.

   I scrolled through for the names with numbers by them, clicking as they passed. I was about to send when I wondered if I should send it to Y/n too. Is that too forward? I shook my head no to myself and proceeded to send it to her as well. Well, it's done now.

   I clicked my phone screen off when I heard a knock at the door. I looked around, but it seemed no one else was here. "One minute!" I shouted heading towards the front. I clicked the unlock button and opened the door.

   "So you ARE still here."
