A few weeks later you and Jimin were working at the bakery on Friday when the door tinkled and in came a very excited bunny with Namjoon and Jin trailing behind him. Jungkook rushed up to the counter to greet you, bouncing on the balls of his feet as the older men followed at a slower pace. "Hi y/n Noona! Hi Jiminie!"
"Hiya Kookie," you chuckled, reaching up to ruffle his hair as he flashed you a big smile. His owners approached the counter and you inclined your head to them in greeting. "Hello Jin, Namjoon. It's good to see you. I don't believe you've been in before - what can I get for you?"
"Good morning y/n," Namjoon said warmly, resting a hand on JK's shoulder. "I would love some coffee, please. Black."
"Me too, and let's get something to eat as well. Jungkook, What is your favorite thing that your noona makes?" Jin asked, looking at him.
The bunny's eyes widened and his nose twitched slightly with excitement. "I can pick?" He turned his big eyes on you and you couldn't help but smile fondly at the sweet boy.
Jimin poured coffees for the older men and started making a hot chocolate for his friend. "Kookie's favorite are the cinnamon rolls! Right Kook?" He called over the steamer as he heated the milk.
Jungkook nodded uncertainly, his eyes wide. "But everything else is good too..." he mumbled.
You chuckled and shared a glance with Jin and Joon before leaning toward the bunny. "How about we do a sampling, hm?" You said to him conspiratorially, making him nod excitedly. Jimin brought over the drinks and passed them out. "You guys take a seat and I'll bring out some pastries," you said, smiling.
You put one of everything on a plate and let Jimin carry it proudly to the table, Jungkook's eyes widening in excitement as he set it down. "Let us know if you need anything else, and enjoy!" You said happily.
"Hyung, can Jimin sit with us?" The youngest asked Namjoon.
"I don't know Kookie, he is working right now," he answered, looking to you. Jimin was watching you hopefully and you smiled and patted his arm. "I'll let you know if I need you kitten, take a break."
After they had finished and chatted for a while and most of the other customers had left, the group of four headed up to the counter. Jungkook and Jimin were whispering excitedly to each other as they approached you, glancing between the three humans.
"Everything was delicious y/n, thank you. How much do we owe you?" Jin asked. You answered with a number that was half what it should have been. "That seems low," he replied, raising an eyebrow as Namjoon pulled out his wallet.
"Friends and family discount," you said, smiling as Jimin came around the counter to stand next to you, nuzzling your shoulder with his head briefly.
Jin smiled and Jungkook tugged on Namjoon's sleeve as he handed you the money, looking up at him hopefully. "Go ahead, bunny, ask her," the older said, chuckling.
"Y/n Noona, can Jimin come have a sleepover at my house tomorrow night?" He asked hopefully, his eyes wide and begging. You glanced at your kitty who was also staring at you excitedly. "Tae Tae is coming too!" He added.
"Of course he can!" You said, patting your kitty on the head as the boys turned to each other to celebrate.
"Thank you Noona!" Jungkook squealed as Jimin threw his arms around you, making you laugh.
Jin and Joon smiled fondly at the boys. "I know you normally drop Jimin off at Hoseok's on Saturdays, so we can pick him up from there before dinner. I know the boys will have a lot of fun, and the two of us will both be home all evening, so nothing to worry about." Jin said, stroking JK's bunny ears. "And I will definitely be coming here again. I'll be dreaming about that croissant tonight," He gushed.
You smiled and inclined your head in thanks as they headed for the door. "I'm sure they will have fun. Thank you for stopping in!"
"By y/n Noona! See you tomorrow Jimin hyung!" JK called over his shoulder, waving.
Jimin waved back, wiggling excitedly. "Thank you for letting me go y/n! I can't wait we're gonna play video games and read comic books and watch movies and stay up late and it's gonna be so much fun!" He said, clutching your arm excitedly.
"I'm happy for you kitten, it sounds very fun," you said, patting his hand before turning toward the door as a customer came in.

That night you helped Jimin pack a change of clothes and other necessities into a backpack to take with him to the sleepover before the two of you snuggled up in the bed. He laid on his side and propped himself up on his elbow, his tail swishing behind him as he looked down at you, frowning.
"What is it kitten?" You asked, reaching up and poking his furrowed brow.
"Are you sure it's okay if I sleep over at Kookie's house? I don't want you to be lonely...and I promised I wouldn't leave you," he said, biting his lower lip in worry.
You smiled and reached up to stroke his ears, eliciting a contented purr from his chest as his eyes drifted closed. "I think I can manage one night by myself, kitten. As long as you come back to me. But I will miss you lots." He smiled shyly at the idea of you missing him and settled down into the pillows, wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you against him. He nuzzled his face against your shoulder and you pulled his hand up to your mouth to place a kiss on it. "It was sweet of you to worry about me though," you said softly, your lips still resting against his palm.
He squirmed, snuggling up closer to you. "If you're lonely I'll be sad," he murmured.
"I'll be fine," you insisted, laughing.
He sighed, tightening his arms around you and gently kissing the top of your head. "I'll miss you too, baby," he said softly.
"You will not, you'll be having too much fun to miss me," you said, smacking his forearm playfully.
"I will too miss you!" He insisted, squeezing your waist and sounding offended.
"Well I hope you have lots of fun and don't miss me too much and don't eat too much junk food. Now, get some sleep since you probably won't get any tomorrow night," you said.
He sighed contentedly and snuggled into the pillows, breathing in your scent as he drifted off.

You walked Jimin to Hoseok's house the next morning and you hugged him goodbye and told him to have fun with his friends. He released you from the hug and turned his cheek, tapping it and smiling. You planted a big kiss on his squishy cheek and ruffled his hair, hugging him again. He squeezed tightly and mumbled, "I love you baby," against your shoulder before heading in to wake Taehyung up, greeting Hoseok as he passed him.
"Y/n, wait," you heard as Hoseok darted out onto the stoop and closed the door behind him, grabbing your hand. "We don't have the boys tonight and neither of us work in the morning," he said, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he squeezed your hand and wiggled his eyebrows at you. "You and I are going out tonight."
Your eyes lit up. It had been ages since you and Hoseok had done a night out. "That is a great idea Hobi!" You whisper shouted and jumped up and down excitedly.
"Yesss I cannot wait. I'll pick you up at eight." He smiled before heading back in, waving cheerfully.
You headed happily to the bakery. Yoongi was, of course, already there when you arrived. You headed in, locking the door behind you and went back to meet him in the kitchen. You picked up the steaming coffee that was waiting for you and sipped it, watching him as he turned around and leaned against the counter, smirking at you.
You squinted at him over your coffee cup. "I'm not even late today, you're just trying to make me look bad, aren't you?" You asked him in a mock irritated voice.
He rolled his eyes at you, replying. "I just got here. And you are late actually, two minutes," He said smugly.
You turned and grabbed a rag off the counter and chucked it at him and he caught it, laughing. "You watch who you're talking to, kitty cat! I'll write you up for insubordination!" You yelled.
"Ah, but then who would make your coffee in the morning?" He asked, holding up a finger.
"I made my own coffee for a long time before you came along mister," you huffed, swigging from the cup.
"But you and I both know that no one makes it as good as me," he sighed, shrugging and turning back to work.
You squinted but didn't reply, taking another deep sip from the coffee in your hand. He was right, after all.

FYI, the next three chapters won't feature Jimin as they follow y/n during his sleepover.
I'm sorry to do that to you since this is a Jimin book I know most of you are probably Jimin stans, so if you want to skip ahead I'll see you in a few days when he's back. :)
Ps the content in the next three chapters is also of a slightly higher maturity level than what I've done here so far, so this is your warning for that.
Thanks for reading!
