02 ~ Muffin
Edited.

The hell couple entered.
This will be fun.
Alex waltzed in the door with Jimin following behind her. She picked the table in the middle of the room, probably because she likes to be the center of attention.
Shocker.
You grabbed two menus from the counter and walked over to them. You greeted them politely. Alex looked up from her phone and scoffed.
"Oh, look who's here Jiminie, the slut bag from school" she stated, laughing at her own joke.
Jimin did indeed look up, but he remained silent. What a wimp.
"I don't want any trouble, can I please just take your orders?" You ask politely. You really can't afford for Alex to complain to your boss and have you end up fired.
You needed this job. Otherwise there would be no income in your house. Except for state benefits, which can't pay for much.
"Oh well you're going to have to beg me so" she smirked evilly. You sighed and smiled, you copied the same exact smile that she does. A fake one.
"Oh miss Alex, may I please,please serve you? It would be such an honor" you say sarcastically.
"You have a bit of an attitude-" Alex started but was then cut off by the cowardly man.
"Alex leave her alone" Jimin interjects causing a scowl to appear on Alex's face.
The scowl was later replaced with a some what smug smile. She reached over and grabbed his hand, an uncomfortable expression immediately showing on Jimin's face from the touch of the girl. You struggled to hold back your chuckle from the scene in front of you. Jimin noticed and couldn't help but smile also.
"Sorry Jiminie. I'll have a latte" she demanded. You nodded and scribbled down the order and turned to the smiling boy.
"I'll have a double shot espresso and a-" he looked up at the counter to see what could he choose as a snack. "A muffin, a chocolate muffin please" he smiled. You again took down the order and started walking back to the counter.
He probably needs that double shot espresso if he's with that witch the whole time, you chuckle at the thought of your joke.
As the machine is brewing the coffee that they both requested, Alex hurried out of the building on a phone call. You glanced at her momentarily but returned your focus to your the order, because you are full sure that if you mess this order up, you will never hear the end of it.
It is when you hear footsteps approaching you that you are awakened from your focused trance. You turn around to attend the customer, only to be met with the one and only Park Jimin.
He sat at one of the stools at the counter, and began talking to you.
"I'm sorry about Alex" he said sympathetically.
"Yeah whatever, it is what it is" you sigh and brush him off. His facial expression immediately saddened.
You turn around, trying to get away from Jimin before the bitch comes back and taunts you for speaking with her precious boyfriend.
You got their beverages ready on a tray as Jimin stayed and watched silently, just observing you as you work.
You got his muffin out from the cooling cabinet and walked over to put the baked goods with the rest of the order.
Being distracted by the pouty boy who was watching you intently, you tripped over your own foot and sent the chocolate muffin into the air, only for Jimin to catch it with one hand.
You sigh in relief, at least you didn't have to pay for that because you need to save as much money as you can at the moment considering your father probably gambled or drank away your last paycheck.
You looked up over to see Jimin sitting in the same spot, with the muffin grasped in his hand, and a very smug smirk. He held the muffin out to you, "Here you go muffin" he said and that damn smirk only got wider.
"T-thanks" you stuttered, still shocked from almost falling, and Jimin catching the muffin. But in all honesty, you were most shocked at the pet name he just called you.
"No problem" he beamed.
You put the muffin on a small plate and place it on the tray before bringing it over to their empty table.
You placed the beverages and the food on the table and turned around to walk back to the counter but you were stopped as when you turned around Jimin was standing dangerously close behind you.
You jumped a little from the surprise but then just huffed and shook your head.
This guy is unbelievable, what the heck was he doing?, you thought.
You walked around him and continued to your place behind the counter, only to be followed by him.
"Is muffin still moody?" He teases.
You look up at him and sigh, "you better not start calling me that permanently" you warned.
He leaned closer over the wooden counter, "why not?" He asked with another smug smile.
What is with him and smirking?, you ask yourself.
"Because you and I both know that, that girl outside this cafe is already mad at me for breathing the same oxygen as her, so I think if she knew that her beloved Jiminie was calling me muffin, she would make my life more of a living hell, and I would rather not deal with that" you state. You can see that he is taken aback from your words, but you couldn't care less.
"Whoops, that's the only name that I know of to call you. Unless you would introduce yourself to me~" he sweetly smiled. For once, it's not a smirk.
You couldn't help but let a small smile feature on your face, "y/n" you put out your hand for an introduction handshake.
He returned the smile "I think Muffin suits you better" you chuckle. "I'm Jimin" he returned the greeting.
"That's funny! Because I thought asshat suited you better!" You joke and Jimin immediately bursts into laughter, his gorgeous disappear as they shape into small crescents.
Cute.
"And don't worry, if Alex has a problem with your new name she will deal with me" he said kindly.
"My new name? Is everyone going to address me as muffin now?" You asked but Jimin immediately shook his head.
"No muffin, that's our thing" and with that, your. Heart. Palpitates.
"Ahh I see. So it will be muffin and asshat?" You asked, making him laugh yet again.
"Yeah I guess so"
The laughter died down to small giggles, then Jimin got curious.
"You go to my school, right?" You nod. "Yeah I was thinking that you were the girl who was reading this morning.
"The nerdy girl?" You ask. Jimin looks up from surprise.
"What just because you read? Because I read a lot too" he smiles.
"Well asshat I must say you're just full of surprises" you smiled.
"Thanks muffin, means a lot" he chuckled.
You grew more nervous about Alex returning and witnessing the current scene in front of you.
"You better drink that up before it's cold" you said, pointing to his beverage on the table, "plus I need to continue working, otherwise I'll be in trouble" You weakly smile.
Jimin nods slightly and started to return to his seat, "it was lovely meeting you Muffin"
"Ditto, asshat" you smile cheekily.
Unfortunately, what you didn't notice was the figure standing at the door only hearing the end of the conversation in the room. Anger bubbles inside her like a volcano. She began walking to her table, taking long strides as she walks. She turned to face you as you were drying cups and glasses.
"Well are those drinks ready yet?" She grits out.
You smile politely and gesture to her table, "they're ready for you over there"
"Oh good, now I would suggest you stop talking to my boyfriend and keep your head and work you little gold digger" she seethes as you bow your head and nod in understanding.
Alex went to sit back down but Jimin walked past you and whispered in your ear discreetly, "Don't mind her, I like talking to you Muffin" he smiles as he sits down without Alex knowing a thing.
You smile and nod as a gesture of saying thank you, which he winked in return for, causing your cheeks to flush pink.
You try to distract yourself from that particular table, and you go tend to an elderly lady that visits the cafe everyday. Her name is Mrs. Lee. She has told you to not be so formal around you, but you always continue to use that name. She is an astounding woman and she deserves to be treated with the upmost respect.
"Evening, Mrs. Lee" you greet and she looks up and smiles.
"Evening, y/n !"
"Was everything okay today?" You asked in reference to what she ordered.
"It was great as always" she beamed. She pulled out her purse from her bag and paid you for the service. And as always, she added a small tip. She was too kind.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lee"
"No problem! Now I'm afraid I must be off, and don't let the bitch over there affect you. In my opinion she has nothing going for her" she scowled over at Jimin and Alex's table causing you to chuckle.
"Of course" you reassured.
She then hobbled out of the cafe, leaving you on your own with the tension seeker and the asshat.
But you didn't mind the asshat here.
"Waitress, check" the shrilly voice hollered. You sighed and brought the check.
Jimin puts the exact amount for his order.
And his order only.
Alex frowns and puts her half on top of his, a pout present on her face as she sulks silently.
And she calls me a gold digger, you sigh.
As you were about to pick up the money and put it into the register, a hand slaps down on yours. Your alarmed eyes meet the sight of Alex's as she scowls.
"Now make sure that all that money makes it to the register, and not your back pocket" she spits.
How dare she think that you would steal money that wasn't yours, you would never.
"Stop being salty just because your boyfriend didn't pay for your meal too. If you're going to call someone a gold digger, I would make sure that you aren't one already" you snap.
Jimin's eyes widen at your sudden confidence, only one thought going through his head: she's one badass muffin.
He sees Alex's fury grow and grabs her arm, leading her out out before things got worse.
"I'll talk to her Alex, I won't let her get away with this" he said before returning to you inside. Unfortunately for Jimin, you heard is little speech.
"I'm sor-"
"Save it, I don't care, just run along back to her. You can forget I exist if you want, everyone else does anyways. We can forget our little chat today never hap-"
"Oh shut up muffin!" He exclaimed, "I just came here to thank you, but if I told her that I would probably have her shoes shoved down my throat" he sighs, you look at him in disbelief.
"So why don't you leave her?! She's toxic!"
"It's very complicated" he explains. "Anyway, here's a tip for you" he smiles.
"I don't want pity money" you slide the money back to him.
"That's good to know. I'll tell people not to give you pity money. And as for the matter at hand" he slides the money back to you, "here's your money" he smiles, putting the money into your shirt pocket. "Now usually I would ask for a kiss on the cheek, but I'll let you go this time" you chuckled.
"But I don't want-"
"Have a lovely night muffin" he waves, cutting you off. But before you can react, he's gone out the door.
You sigh and start to clean the cafe before locking up.
As you're cleaning, you find yourself smiling.
I've never met such and asshat before, you chuckle.
Some people use the term 'asshat' as a bad meaning, but you can't help but not feel the same about the word anymore.
Asshats might be a good thing now,
Or a good person
TBC
