Few days went in a flash and to your surprise Jimin caught up with billing and handling the registry quicker than you thought. He seemed smarter than he looks when it came to numbers while most of us rely on the machine. But he still messes up with preparing the ingredients in the mornings. Him being a bit too over friendly towards you seemed like flirting and you didn't like it. It irritated you a little because he made your heart do weird things to you. 


He seemed oddly comfortable and open towards you like he knows you more than you. Also every time you catch him staring at you or by chance if you lock eyes with him, you feel like he is challenging you with his wistful expressions. 


The soul burning nostalgic feeling  you get when he is near you agitates you to get worked up. Because of him you were not able to think properly or sleep properly. The void in your heart has been replaced with tension and confusion. And it was urging you to fill the hole in it. 


Shaking all these feelings you entered the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. Your eyes widened surprise to see Jimin already there washing the fruits. He was early and working. Your heart started beating fast as you noticed his sharp side profile, white button up with sleeves rolled up exposing his veiny strong arms and the black apron wrapped around his perfectly fit body. He really is astoundingly handsome. Sensing your presence he turned to look at you.


"Hey.. Good morning." He smiles and you just give a tight smile and a nod.


"You are early." He comments trying to make conversation as always.


"Yeah since you mess up the whole kitchen I thought of coming early. I didn't want to deal with the mess at the last minute." You say not trying to sound too sarcastic. You just wanted him to take the hint and leave you alone till you figure out what's wrong with you. Day after tomorrow is the doctors appointment and you just want to go and talk to your doctor soon. 


Jimin did understand what you were doing. Even though your memories are gone, your habits are the same. He figured that his presence was giving you a hard time like it's forcing you to remember him. It was confusing you and he could tell by the way you look at him. And you being you, always runaway from hard situations and push everything away trying to be sassy.  Jimin was amused to see this side of you again. It reminded him of the time you started working for him. And now he was working for you. This love sure is crazy. He thought smiling to himself.


"Be nice. I'm learning." he says smirking and that smirk stirred something in you. It's like you have seen those lips smirk at you countless times before. Frowning you tie the apron around you and grab a knife to cut the mangoes and the strawberries into small squares to make the take away milk bottles. 


As you were cutting them you sensed Jimin coming towards you. You did tensed a little but quickly diverted your attention to the fruits. You secretly wished that it was Lee that you got because he was very quiet and good at what he was doing. Jay keeps saying how nice he is even though he looks tough and less friendly.


"Should I join cutting them?" Jimin asked looking around for another knife.


"Why? To destroy the shape and waste the precious fruits? No thanks. I can do this by myself." You answered in a voice as nonchalant as you could muster.


"That was just one time and one mango. Come on I have to work too." He whined a little. He is right. It's not like you can run away and ignore him forever. It's your job to train him and give work to him. 


"Fine. Prepare the drinks into the take away glass bottles." You say after letting out a sigh. He gives a nod and bring the glass bottles over to where you were standing and started to prepare them next to you. Mentally you wanted to groan and push him away because his intoxicating scent was taking over you.


You tried your best to ignore him and everything what he was doing. But when he carelessly took out a scoop of mangoes and drop into a bottle full of milk your eyes widened. 


"Yahh! What the hell are you doing? Arg!!!" You burst out openly annoyed startling him a bit.

 "How many times should I tell you that you need to freaking dip the fruits in the syrup and then add them to the empty bottle before adding the milk." You groaned out loud grabbing the scoop from him.


"Oh! sorry I forgot." He says scratching the back of his head.


"Forgot? Are you kidding me. This is the third day you are doing this and you still can't get it right.. are you dumb or what?" You snapped at him but on the other hand Jimin bit his lip to hold back the grin that was threatening to escape. He knew if he so much as smiled he is going to get another earful. But he really misses this side of you. 


"I'll do it right this time." He say sheepishly and tries to reach for the bottles.


"Forget it. I'll do it by myself.. Just go crush those dalgona bars." You ordered frowning. 


Jimin gives you a small pout and obeys without a word making you feel bad a little. But as soon as he turns his back to you, his lips turned up into a wide smile. My sassy Princess!

Later in the afternoon the café got less crowded and Jimin was tired cleaning and working around. He wondered how you did all of this before with less staff. All he used to do was sit in a comfortable office and work with his brain. He used to boss you around but now you boss him around like you were getting back at him for the hardship he put you through. 


Seeing you alone at the counter Jimin slowly made his way to you. He wanted to ask you if you want to have lunch with him but before he could even open his mouth, an over friendly guy with big ears leaned against the counter flashing you a big smile with flirty eyes. 


"Hey boo.. did you have lunch yet?" He asks.


Boo? Boo? Who the fuck is he to call her that? Jimin cursed in his head as he glared at the guy who was flirting with you. Jimin clenched his fist when you smiled back beautifully as you replied. "Not yet. I was waiting for you like I promised." 


"That's my cutie pie. Come on.. lets go." the guy says straightening up.


What the fuck.. what is that suppose to mean? Where is this monkey taking my baby. And why is he acting like he is her boyfriend calling her such cheesy names! Jimin frowned not liking this guy's behavior towards you. But he couldn't say anything as you seemed close with that guy.


"Just give me few minutes. I have to balance these receipts." You say and started going through them not even bothered by Jimin's presence near you. Jimin didn't want to move an inch as that guy kept chuckling and talking to you. Jealousy was taking over him so much that he didn't even hear the old lady calling him. 


You snap your head towards him, smile replaced with a frown. "Yah.. are you deaf or something? That customer has been calling for you. Go serve that table." 


Mr. Bo's eyes widens seeing you talk to Jimin like that. He comes to warn you not to do that because Jimin was not an ordinary person and Mr. Bo felt like his pressure was rising because of this. But before he could reach you, Jimin looked up towards him and signaled with his head, not to approach. Sighing Mr. Bo gives a nod and turns to go to his cabin where as Lee was openly frowning at you. Lees job was to protect and defend Jimin which he did perfectly scaring away others and showing their place who ever disrespected his boss. But when it comes to you, poor Lee had to control and look away even if he didn't like the way you treated Jimin.


As Jimin was carrying the empty cups back wit his eyes fixed on you and the guy, Jimin knocked his thigh on a table and almost dropped the tray.


"Shit!" He cursed under his breath as his thigh hurt but he was relieved that the cups didn't break. Or else he knew he would get another earful by his hot tempered girl. He slowly looked up and as expected you were giving him a death glare. Gulping he quickly looked away pretending as if nothing happened and hurried into the kitchen. What the fuck Park.. why are you so dumb and clumsy around her? And why is she so scary but also cute at the same time.


Jimin quickly gave the cups to Jay to wash and head back outside. You were removing your apron to go with that guy. He was going to question you as he was unable to keep himself together, you spoke first.


"I'm going to have lunch with Alex and June. So take over the registry... and please don't mess it up." You tell him and Jimin gives a nod smiling. So this guy is Alex. Jimin relaxed knowing who the guy is because you and June would always scold this poor guy when he is not around. And he knew that he was your friend just like June.

It was a beautiful evening and you saw yourself running in a park which was by a lake. Your heart was pounding and your lips were hurting because you couldn't stop smiling. You felt free and happy. It was not only because of the surrounding it was because you were there with someone special and it was him. The faceless guy, he was chasing you and soon he wrapped you up in his arms and twirled you around as you giggled. 


After that you had series of flashes of a you dancing with him in a room, playing in an amusement park, watching fireworks, a pillow fight and then you heard yourself say. 'Jimin.. Promise me that you will find me.' Then his face came into the view for the first time but still you couldn't see him properly as he replied. 'I will always come for you, My Princess.' 


Just like that you woke up gasping. You clutched your heart taking deep breaths, for the first time your dream was not so painful or scary, it was simply beautiful. You were not snatched away, you didn't see any blood nor did you see anyone disappearing. In fact you heard a name as well. Wait! A name! His name! 


You tugged at your hair trying to remember the name you heard. You were hundred percent sure you heard it along with yours and his voice. His voice.. why does it reminds me of Jimmy.. and so did the unclear face. But this can't be... what was his name? 


Frustration was building inside of you and you couldn't remember a damn thing. Was it Jungkook? No it was not.. maybe it is Jungkook and this Jimmy is messing with my mind. Ever since he came all I think about was him and now he is creeping into my dreams as well. Who the hell is he? Why am I like this? Unable to bare it, you let out a scream clutching your head.


In split seconds Jungkook comes running to your room. "Y/n? What happened.. Are you ok?" He rushed towards you and cup your face in his hands to look at you. You instantly felt guilty seeing his worried doe eyes looking down at you. You didn't want him to stress over you, Jungkook was already burdened with the new project and having a hard time. So you didn't want to add more to it.


"Yeah I'm ok. I thought I saw a bug flying in. So I freaked out." You say scrunching your face. For a second Jungkook looked confused and then broke into a soft laughter. 


"Gosh.. My heart jumped. You screamed like you saw a ghost or something." His morning chuckles made you smile and you hit him with your pillow lightly. "Not funny."


"Oh babe.. It is funny." He says taking both your hands in his. "Come on.. time to get up anyway. I'll fix breakfast." He makes you stand against your will but you didn't fight him. He kissed your temple and head out leaving you alone with your thoughts. You let out a heavy sigh and entered the bathroom deciding to let go of whatever you saw. 


Once you were done you settled in front of Jungkook for breakfast. Like the past few days he had his eyes fixed on his tablet going through work. He never did that before, no matter how busy he was, he used to converse with you and joke with you while having breakfast. You wondered if he his purposely avoiding you because of the non stop questions you bombard him with to clarify your confusions. 


"Can you pass me the sauce bottle please." You say breaking the silence as it made you feel lonely. Without even looking up he passed you the bottle. Attempt failed! You thought and just started eating trying to keep your head busy. But your mind tried to go to the dream you had.


"Jungkook.." you didn't even know why but you just called out his name to avoid your thoughts.


"Hm?" He hummed in response scrolling through some artwork.


"Have we been to an amusement park together?" You ask to test something. Jungkook's fingers topped scrolling and it was not hard to notice him tense up a bit. But still he acted cool and just like you expected he avoided answering with another question without even meeting your eyes. "Why? Do you want to go to one?" 


"No.. Just asked, we were talking about going somewhere to have some fun with the team. June and Alex were suggesting the idea of going to the park.. So I just wondered." You lie, well it was not a total lie. They did want to go somewhere and have fun. It's just none of you are able to pull out a free time. 


"Oh! I see." He gives a half hearted smile and  quickly takes the last bite of his food.

Already with a bad mood you enter the café earlier. You wanted to take a day off but Mr. Bo called in and asked to be in charge of the café today as he will be on leave due to an urgent matter. You have never been in this position before so you were frustrated. The café was getting really busy and you needed everyone to work as much as possible as you dealt with Mr. Bo's work and the registry. 


When the next customer punched in for a hot americano, you were really busy with tallying something very important. You looked around and saw him standing there near the counter. "Jimmy, Please brew this customer an americano."


Jimin looked up in your direction and saw that you were really busy. He could tell that you were in a really bad mood so without aggravating you he went behind the coffee machine. "Please take a seat Sir, I will bring your coffee to the table." He says knowing that he will take time.


 He was really screwed as he looked around the machine and the tools. You did show him once but you never let him try to make one on his own. Mentally groaning he took a handle and looked at it as if its some kind of an alien object. What the fuck is this? I'm screwed. What should I do next? Jimin was internally panicking even though he was acting like he got this on the outside. 


He slowly looked up to see if Lee was around and ready to beg with his puppy eyes to come and save him but to his darn luck he was on the other end of the café serving another table. Poor guy.. Things I make him do. He thought shaking his head. 


"Need help?" A flirty tone made Jimin look to his left instantly. Hana was standing there beaming up at him with her big light colored eyes. Feeling relieved to see her, his lips turned up into a big smile.


"Yes. Please help me brew an americano." 


"That's very easy Jimmy. Watch and learn." She took the handle from his hand and got to work. Standing close to her, Jimin observed her doing the job properly.


"I'll go serve this and come. Will you guide me and check if I got it right for the next?" He asks and Hana gives a nod. Jimin hurries and gives the customer his coffee and returns to try one by himself. But Hana was being a little tease.


Your head snapped up when you heard giggles next to you. A frown cross your face and your heart burned seeing Jimin and Hana flirting and giggling while you were working your ass off. Jimin was flashing a big smile at her and you didn't like it for one bit. Specially not when he stopped smiling at you like that. All you get from him are sad smiles or awkward smiles. The tension between you and him kept growing daily. 


You didn't know what's happening to you these days, You were so not yourself and everything around you was stressing you out.  You tried to ignore them and mind your own business. Take deep breaths Y/n. Take deep breaths. 


But your calming down process was interrupted when you heard a cup breaking along with Hana's loud laugh.


"Shit. Sorry.. my hand slipped." Jimin says taking a step back from the broken cup and spilled coffee. And that moment you didn't know what came over you and ticked you. You just rudely opened your mouth and flipped at him.


"Yahh Park Jimin! what the hell are you doing? Can't you see we are having a busy day. Why are you making our day more hard? Instead of flirting and messing things around, can't you get your useless self to do something helpful. I don't even know why Mr. Bo is even keeping you."


Jimin froze on the spot and he could swear he felt his heart stop in that moment for a minute before it resumed to thump against his chest harder and faster. Lee also immediately came around to stand near Jimin in surprise. Jimin couldn't believe his ears. Did you just call my name Princess? Can you finally remember me? Tears stung Jimin's eyes as he looked at you with so much hope.


"Y/n!" Hana exclaimed with wide eyes.


"What?" You snapped not realizing what you just called Jimin.


"You are being inconsiderate right now.. and also.. who the hell is Park Jimin?" Hana's blunt reply made you feel uneasy.


"What?" This time you said that in a confusing manner as you looked at Jimin. Your heart stung by the way he was looking at you. Hana was right, you were harsh on him and also called him some name. You didn't even know how that name pop into your head. You were not even thinking straight. Everything was eating up your head.


"I'm sorry. I-I.. I don't even know why I called you that or said these things to you. It's just today is hectic and I would appreciate if you all put your best effort." You say letting out a sigh and rubbing your forehead.



 Why am I like this? Y/N.. stop being a bitch! Jimmy has done nothing wrong to you!



"I'm sorry. I should have been more responsible." Jimin says sincerely.



"I'll just go get the mop and clean this up." Hana says slightly annoyed and head towards the store room.


"If you don't mind go wash the plates and send Jay here. I need him here to help around." You say mainly not wanting to be around him at the moment and you could really use Jay's help. 


Without another word Jimin just gives a nod and head towards the kitchen to change shifts with him. Jimin's bubble did burst but now he have his hopes up more. You called his name and that was a big step. It shows that your soul remembers him and fighting
