My other half

Your name

"Well in that case, I'll bring Jk's stuff to you afterwards, did he say what it was?" y/n asked while starting to move and prepare the cafe before any customers came in.
"Um he just said it was a small bag... wait, afterwards? after what?" the boy realized while taking off his coat.
"You said you will wait until my shift was done, right? Can't take your words back now" y/n beamed happy to have his company for the rest of the evening.
"Oh that, right! I did said that" he smiled.
"So you did" the girl laughed.

While y/n cleaned the counter, placed the desserts and switched on all the machinery, Jimin decided to look around the different and stylish cakes and macaron displayed on the main showcase.
"Do you make all of these?" He asked surprised by how good the desserts looked.
"Actually, no. Jk knows how to bake and he is in charge of the cakes most of the time. The rest are precooked mostly" y/n explained, busy with the expresso machine.
"What do you do then?" Jimin asked.
"I can make great white mochas" y/n turned around facing him and smiling.
"So you do" Jimin laughed. "I guess I'll have one white mocha from the expert barista and whatever piece of cake you recommend"

"Got it" y/n said while starting to make the mocha guy his usual coffee.

While the rest of the evening went out smoothly, and mocha guy and y/n shared inside joked from time to time, making it more delightful. The boss had been somewhere else for the past few of hours, and that, even if he was laziness itself, made things hard for y/n.
["Where could that jerk be now?"] y/n asked herself over and over again while taking her customers orders.
Tables were starting to get dirtier, and as customers came in, it became hard to handle it all by herself.

"Y/n! I'm going out for a while take care of things while I'm gone" a sudden voice almost shouted behind her.

Her boss.

"But- you've been out for two hours!!" y/n exclaimed, although her complaint was to be heard by no one as her boss was already reaching the door and going out of the cafe. How much of a jerk can he be?
Y/n sighed while reaching for mocha guy's table to sit down for a bit. No customers coming.

"I can't stand him, why did I even..." y/n sighed  again.
"If you need help with anything..." Jimin offered with the nicest tone, despite feeling really angry about y/n's boss.
"Thanks for offering, but I don't want to have you cleaning all this mess," she said, pointing the tables that needed someone's attention "you're a customer after all".
"But won't it be hard to handle it all by yourself?" he asked concerned.
"Nah, it'll be a piece of cake" she teased to keep the boy from worrying about her.
"Pfft, alright, but don't mind me if I decide to clean out the tables near me, I am a customer after all and I feel uncomfortable seeing such an expert barista as yourself overworking herself because of some jerk" he said.

y/n grinned.

"Thank you..." y/n stopped and as if she had been daydreaming and suddenly fell into reality, making the kind of expression anyone would worry about.

She still didn't know his name!

"...is everything okay?" Jimin asked confused.
"Y/n!" the girl suddenly exclaimed while raising her hand, in the aim of going for a handshake.

At that, Jimin was terribly confused. What did he have to say in order to follow the joke? Wait... was it a joke?

"Y/n who?" he asked, still confused but trying hard to guess what she was up to.

"What?" y/n asked, leaving them both bewildered. "No!" she said, "I mean y/n is MY name. It's just... I realized I still don't know... your name" she explained herself, growing quieter as she kept talking.

"..." the mocha guy was processing it all, not being able to tell if the situation was funny, awkward, cute or his reaction to her saying her name just plain stupid.

As seconds flew by fast another customer entered the cafe, meaning y/n had to leave.
She quickly turned around and started walking away, still regretting her introduction.
Time to get more orders, she guessed.

"Jimin!" the boy shouted, loud enough for her to hear it.
y/n got startled and looked behind her.
"That's my name, Park Jimin" he beamed, happy to see y/n smiling back at him.
"Got it!" she said, adding a little finger gun.
