Yoonbi

We walk in silence till we reach the restaurant, I know he doesn't feel like talking about it and I won't push through. Just like I promised myself not to uncover his secrets before he shows them to me, I promise not to force him into uncovering them sooner than he wants.

I had time to connect the dots together, although his unsure looks towards me were a little distracting. Something happened to Jeon Jungkook before he moved out of Busan, even better something happened and made him move away from his old home. And leave the whole city.

My assumptions may not be true, but I'm just thinking. Maybe even what he said back on the rooftop, when he told me that he felt the need to take his own soul before, has to do with what happened with him back in Busan.

One last thing that I remembered, is the matching time. Jungkook moved out of Busan just around the same time SoMin died, It looks like this time was really tragic for many people. I sigh as we stand in front of Jimin's restaurant.

I attempt to move forward, after Jungkook, and climb the few stairs before the entrance but the dizziness returns. I hold myself still for moments then follow Jungkook into the restaurant.

I jog to the workers' room to put my bag in my locker and change into my work clothes. I open RyungNa's locker and look at her neatly set clothes, "she isn't here yet." I mutter to myself as I struggle to tie my apron around my waist.

I give up and go outside, holding it on my arm, where's RyungNa? She used to tie it for me. "Oh, Yoonbi!" Mr. Park looks at me in relief, "that guy, what's his name!" He starts saying with fatigued breaths, "Jimin's friend, the one who has been serving--"

"Namjoon?" I realize who he's talking about.

"Yes him! He's a monster! He dropped three servings in a span of thirty minutes! Please go and stop him." I smile as Mr. Park complains to me, I mean the first time I met Namjoon he just broke a fridge door. I'm not surprised.

"Of course sir, I'm sorry." I bow.

"Oh no need for that, please also get a change of work clothes for a guy waiting to work outside, his name is Jungkook. Show him the workers room too." Mr. Park says while walking back into the kitchen, there are many people and it's pretty packed today.

I move out and peek from behind the wall till I spot Jungkook still standing beside the entrance, lost and confused. He looks adorable like that, I contemplate letting him stay like that just to watch him but I shake the idea off and wave for him to come. He does as soon as he spots me.

In a hurry, I take his hand as soon as he's in arms reach and pull him into the workers' room, ignoring how he's complaining about me leaving him behind. "Take these." I shove a set of new work clothes into his chest and turn around, taking his bag off his shoulder and putting it into my locker.

"I'll wait for you outside while you put these on, Kookie," I say, ready to run out and go stop Namjoon from breaking any more plates till I remember the apron on my forearm. I immediately turn around and go back to Jungkook to see his jacket already off as his hands reach to unbutton his shirt.

"Stop! Wait!" I tell him after he unbuttons the first two buttons. He immediately looks up in surprise.

"What," he breathes.

"Sorry, but I need your help," I walk back to him and put the apron around my waist for him to tie, "tie this for me." I look up at him waiting for him to turn around and tie it. I'm absolutely taken by surprise when he leans forward and snakes his arms around my waist, touching my hands as he takes the laces from me and ties them.

My face is in front of his chest, feeling the roughness of his shirt against my skin as he pulls me closer against him. His breath is fanning my neck and I lose all senses till he backs off and speaks, "I'm done." He smiles down at me. I'm ready to take a step closer to him till I hear the sound of something breaking from outside, then Namjoon's groan and Mr. Park's cry.

"I-I need to go." I stutter and run outside. I walk to the kitchen to see an order broken on the floor while Namjoon continuously apologizes to Mr. Park and Jin shakes his head at Namjoon. Jin shudders in irritation before going back to cooking, I smile at Namjoon's guilty tall form and take his hand to pull him away from the glass, "calm down and stay here," I frown when I feel his hands wet.

I see blood when I look down at my fingers, "great! You're not only a destruction lord but you're clumsy too!" I run and open a cabinet that I know has a first aid kite inside it, I throw it to Namjoon and tell him to bandage his hands in the workers' room, "and tell Jungkook to get a move on it!" I shout as I take the ready orders and deliver them on their assigned tables.

"Enjoy your meal!" I smile, bow, and do the customer service Mrs. Park taught me. A few minutes later I see Jungkook taking orders out too, and doing the best customer service with such handsome appearance. He's really good at everything, isn't he? I smile to myself and get back to work, not noticing how I'm already falling for Jungkook's charms.

I'm on my way back to the kitchen when I notice Namjoon tripping on his shoelace, my reflex makes me run to him quickly and get hold of the tray before it shatters with the plates on it. Namjoon; however, isn't rescued and he falls, hurting his arm somewhere, again!

"Get a hold of yourself!" I advise him, before I eye the tray in relief and look down at him again, "which table?"

"T-table 9." He tells me, eyeing me in stun. That's when I realize that I moved a little too fast against my accord.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm so fast I know." I flip my hair and walk to table nine with shivering hands and unresting conscious. Did anyone else see me? Maybe Namjoon won't notice much because he was falling but anyone else would have a good view of what just happened.

As I put the food down for table 9, I see all the costumers busy talking and eating. I sigh in relief, walking back to the kitchen with an empty tray; however, my eyes spot Jungkook looking at me and my heart jumps as he quickly looks away, pretending like he wasn't watching me. Shit.

I shake my head and run back to the kitchen when I hear some customers calling for their food, a wave of dizziness overcomes me again so I stop in my tracks before I take the tray of orders into my hold. Using my powers now is another stupid thing I managed to do, I grit my teeth at my stupidness and go to give more orders as soon as I feel capable of walking straight.

The haste in the restaurant goes on for a while longer till I see Jimin and RyungNa coming from the back door with hands full of bags. Mr. Park runs to Jimin and takes from him the bags of vegetables to cook the rest of the orders as RyungNa hands me the bags she's holding and runs into the workers' room to change.

I give them to Jin and watch him professionally wash and chop, then cook. His board shoulders look more prominent as he cooks and I smile at his relished expression. He looks so good with the apron around his neck, hugging his torso. Damn Jin for being worldwide handsome. I think and get pulled by RyungNa as she runs outside.

"Stop gawking at Jin, at least not now. We can totally do it together later." She laughs with me and starts taking the orders. I take a tray as I laugh along, giving the orders on each table. Finally, you're here! I talk as I run back and forth taking and giving plates of food. Whenever I feel the world around me blurring, I push through and for the past four hours it worked well for me. As the end of my shift runs close, fewer and fewer customers come.

"Yah Namjoon," I tell Namjoon as we walk side by side, returning trays to the kitchen.

"Yes?" He turns to me but looks ahead immediately, he's obviously being extra careful courtesy Mr. Park's sanity. It makes me laugh, he's so awesome in many ways.

"When are we going to start working on that science project?" I ask him as he puts the tray down on the counter and Jin takes care of it, taking mine from my hands too. Namjoon turns to me and his mouth opens in an o just being reminded of it.

"Dang." He fists the air as he takes his lower lip between his teeth.

"I thought so too, we have two weeks to finish it all up." I inform as he spaces out in thought.

"Okay okay, I got it. Are you busy tomorrow?" He asks me, I think about it for a while. It's Saturday tomorrow and Dad's staying home because he has it off and mom won't mind me going out...

"I don't think so, but not before noon." I say knowing that I won't wake up before then.

"Cool, then come to my place at two afternoon tomorrow. We'll sort stuff out and go buy everything and plan it." He says and takes out his phone, "just so I won't forget." He mutters to himself and does something on his screen before my phone buzzes.

I take it out and open the text from Namjoon, "oh it's your house's location right?" I ask him as I open and check how far it is.

"Yeah," I hear his voice beside my ear as he stands behind me and leans against my shoulder to look at my screen, "My contact name is Joonie?" He laughs as I half turn my head smiling at his dimple. Before staring back at the nerd face emoji beside his name.

"What's my name in your contact list?" I ask and curiously glance at his phone to see Yoonbi️️️⚡️ with a golden flash striking emoji beside it, "what's that emoji supposed to mean?" I mock and look up at him.

"You just seemed fast at everything to me, you answer quickly, and do other stuff quickly too! It makes sense and it goes well with your name." He laughs melodically. I roll my eyes, pushing his shoulder lightly as I laugh along.

"Take these, Namjoon." Jin carefully shoves a tray to Namjoon's chest before smiling at me and handing me another one lightly, "here Yoonbi yah," he smiles, making his plump lips look too artistic. I smile back noticing Namjoon scoffing and rolling his eyes as he leaves.

"Thanks, Prince!" I wink at Jin as he laughs and we both split back to work, as I walk half blindly outside the kitchen I bump into Jungkook and almost drop what I'm holding, "whoa! Move out the way Kookie." I say while balancing the tray, thankful that the soup bowls didn't spill out.

I look up at him and feel my lips get sealed at his sulking face, he looks so bothered, "you okay?" I ask him, frowning.

"Not!" He retorts in my face and walks past me, it felt like he went right through my heart. I don't know, I go give out the orders quickly and run back to the kitchen waiting for Jungkook to come back from giving an order too.

As soon as he is on his way into the kitchen I pull him by the hand into the empty workers' room and shut the door, I've been having enough with his moods and looks that don't make any sense. "Explain, you've been doing that bitčh act too much lately. One second we're all good and then you're seriously glaring at me out of nowhere!"

I feel so dizzy after my outburst while my feet move back and I slowly lose my balance as the room blurs, I feel Jungkook's arms go around me and hold me in place against the wall. "Yoonbi," he whispers in concern.

His voice pulls my senses back together as I try to push the tiredness I failed to see when I decided to confront Jungkook right now of all times, "you confuse me, Kookie." I say weakly, looking into his eyes.

You confuse me too, he doesn't say anything as he looks back at me but I hear him, I feel a fire inside my chest whenever I see you checking my friends out. You're really naughty, you're too much for me to handle Yoonbi. I feel his sigh fanning my nose as he looks down, ready to let go of me.

I quickly shoot my hands out, wrapping them around his neck and pulling him down to me, letting our lips crash. I kiss him hard, punishing him for not figuring out his feelings yet.

I did want to avoid him figuring out when I first knew, but right now, it's different. Right now, I want him to. I think I like him too, scratch that. I'm sure.

I feel his arms going around my waist and hugging me to his torso, making our bodies press against one another. I let my arms pull him closer too, wanting nothing but to feel more of him. I kiss him deeper and lick his lips before taking his lower lip between my teeth, feeling content as he groans in satisfaction.

He kisses me back and pushes his tongue into my mouth, making me let out an unfamiliar noise at how good he feels. My hands move up, letting my fingers move between his hair and tug at it as he pulls me up by the thighs and wraps my legs around his waist.

We both break the kiss in sync, letting our heavy breaths be the only sound there is as I stare into his chocolate eyes. My fingers move against his neck as I pull his head closer and press his forehead against mine, smiling when his hair tickles my skin.

"You're really slow," I giggle sleepily, feeling a strong sense of weakness take over my whole body except for my racing heart, "I wasn't sure what I was waiting for, but now that I have it, I'm sure that I don't want to let go." I say against his lips and shut my eyes, focussing on the feel of his soft hair against my fingers.

"I don't want to let go, either, Yoonbi." I hear Jungkook say but I can't tell if he said it out loud or not, I'm too dizzy to care. The weak smile doesn't leave my face as my senses slowly fade away, taking the world as I know it and drowning it in black. The last thing running in my head is my latest claim.

  Jeon Jungkook is mine now. Kookie is mine. I'll protect him well, I won't let him go.

//Cough cough*
