[JiKook au] Say my name

Worry

Jimin's POV

Jungkook dropped me off and only left until I waved at him through the window. I wonder what Yoongi-hyung said to him. The kid is cute like a bunny when I ran my hand through his hair. Everything he said and did to me were horrible, but I never keep something negative in mind so therefore, I've never hated him.

Taehyung is the same age at me. We met two years ago and he is a very nice person. I adore everything about Tae, he is handsome, successful, kind and sweet. I like him a lot. I really want to be something much more than friend with him. Something like... bestfriends!

I took a shower, turned on the laptop and starts working on the recipes for Taehyung's party. I must have put all of my passion into it since when I finished, the sun is already rising up.

Jungkook's POV

I got off the bus just like any other days. I wonder if Jimin is here already or not. I don't know why but I really want to see him.

Turn the back door handle, it's still locked. I guess Jimin is not here yet. I take off the coat, put on my apron and uniform, start sweeping and putting out the chairs and tables.

10 minutes later, Jimin arrives.

- Ah, morning-

I said but stopped and smacked myself in the head. He can't hear, Jungkook, you dumb rabbit!

I then approach Jimin as he turns his back to me and touch his shoulder.

I must have startled him since his little shoulders raised up a little bit.

- G-Good morning.

I said, not too slow nor too fast, letting him read my lips.

He smiles and moves his mouth just like he's saying "good morning" back to me but it's just that there is no sound.

I smile back, looking at him put on his apron but it's inward and the straps are twisted.

- Um...

I tried to do something but a coward that I am, I hesitated.

Again, I gently tap on his shoulder, the sad eyes look back at me as I take a step back.

- Ah, your apron is... um...

I tried to speak but fail, not until I noticed my action, my hands have already untied my boss' apron.

His eyes open wide, staring at me as my face and ears are turning bright red.

- I am so sorry!

I said and crouched down, covering my ears in embarrassment. If he wasn't mute, I'm sure he would be laughing out loud at me right now.

He also crouches down to pat me on the back, clearly has no idea why I am acting like this.

- Your apron... you wear it inward and the straps are twisted too. So I was just... you know... trying to fix it for you.

I said as his face is slowly turning pink. He must be feeling embarrased by it. I was not trying to make fun of him or anything. I was just trying to help.

Jimin quickly fixes his apron and bows to me as a thank you.

Our day starts just like any other days, but there is just one thing that is odd, Jimin.

I watch him the whole time, he looks tired. He gave out the wrong order, twice. He almost put salt in the cupcake mixture which would have been a disaster if Namjoon-hyung hasn't been there to stop him. He just looks blank.

- Hyung.

I called for Namjoon-hyung as he is putting on his jacket, it's the end of the day.

- Don't you think Jimin is a little bit zoning out today?

He looks surprised, probably at how I suddenly concern for my boss.

- Yeah. He looks tired. I saw him drowsed away behind the counter for a couple seconds this noon.

- Is it possible that he's sick?

I asked, I'm really worried for him.

- Probably. You can ask him. But be nice ok?

- I will!

I whined but understand why Namjoon-hyung said that.

Finally, there are only Jimin and I left. Talking about Jimin, where is he?

I walk back to the front of the shop and stop at a fairly peaceful scene.

My boss, Jimin, is sleeping while cleaning. He is sitting on one of the chair and resting his chin on his hands, balancing himself on the broom stick.

A gentle smile appears on my face, I was just standing there, staring at him for a whole 5 minutes. And when I finally snapped out, I see Jimin is losing his balance.
