No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 6: New Beginnings

"Nothing," she mumbled, "you should get back to work, tell me all the deets later."

Bora groaned as she hopped over the countertop, heading into the kitchen and grabbing some finished cupcakes. Chanwoo entered into the cupcake shop, throwing his backpack onto the coat rack and successfully throwing it right onto it's hook. He took off his headphones and entered into the kitchen.

"I'm late, I know, I just have a really big calc test tonight and I just had to study." He rambled on as the two girls stared at him with amusement. "I'm late, you can deduct as much money as you want but I just really had to study because this test is important."

Seoyeon stared at him, grinning and Chanwoo looked at the two of them with one eyebrow raised. Chanwoo bit his lip, "what?"

"No worries, I definitely understand your situation." Seoyeon smiled, before tossing his apron into his face. "And you're not late, you dork."

Jungkook stopped a few metres away from the cupcake shop, looking at the screen at his phone and back at the store. The lights were still off, only one dim light was the only thing lighting up the cashier desk.

He felt his heartbeat speed up with every step he took. But it was if the smell of cupcakes pulled at his heartstrings, making him hesitate to get any closer to the store.

"Red velvet cupcakes," he whispered, sniffing the air that was filled with the aroma of cupcakes that escaped the shop.

He walked across the road, sitting on a bench that was located right in front of the store. Pulling out his camera, he scanned through all his photos and even checked if he had enough space for the day.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

"Hello?" He answered his phone.

"Yah, did you find the store yet?!" Jungkook pulled his phone away from his ear, wincing at the loudness of Jimin's voice on the other line.

"I did, I did." Jungkook replied, chuckling. "Thanks for the telling me the directions, they didn't help one bit."

"They were simple, Jungkook." Jimin rolled his eyes and Jungkook knew that he was probably face palming. "I just told you to take the 24 bus and get off at the 14th stop, is that hard? No."

"I was just playing with you, I managed to get here way too early." Jungkook glanced at his watch, 8:07 am.

"Well at least you have some time to prepare yourself," Jimin smiled, "she probably got prettier the last time you saw her and you're going to be so speechless about it. This is why you should prepare yourself."

"What does she look like?" Jungkook asked Jimin, knowing that Jimin has been to the cupcake shop for quite a while.

"Well, she still looks the same from what I've seen in your pictures." Jimin explained, before scratching the nape of his neck. "But then again, she matured, and she definitely looks beautiful."

"I can't wait to see her.." He whispered and Jimin giggled.

"I was kind of disappointed when I found out that you guys knew each other," Jimin sighed playfully. "If you didn't like her, I probably asked her out already."

"Yah! You're no help at all!" Jungkook exclaimed, knowing that Jimin was only joking.

"I was joking, you know that I'm already taken." Jimin teased, and Jungkook grinned. "I'll see you later, I gotta go take out my lady for some breakfast."

"Yeah, yeah, I never needed you anyway." Jungkook mumbled and Jimin smiled.

"Oh look at my little dongsaeng, he's growing up. Don't drool when you see her though." Jimin chuckled, "see you later!"
