16 (Not) Thinking about the Letter

I wake up really late when my mind couldn't give me my sleep. It takes hours to reckon who gives my favorite flowers and chocolate and the letter. The love letter. I'm kind of flattered when someone appreciates me. And so, I can't move forward just because of these wonderful gifts. 

"I feel like I'm a very important woman. Do you think so, my lovely Yang?" I ask Yang, who's lying beside me. 

She 'meow' as if she does understand me. Well, she's a very smart cat. I strived to place a plastic wrap around the space of my room, she didn't buy it. 

Shortly after, I jolt on the bed when hearing my phone rings. I hurriedly reach my phone on the stand and answer the call. 

"Where are you? Why are you so late? Did you know it's almost 12 noon? Are you okay? We are fine since we don't have many customers today so it's very lucky for us. I called Yoongi to get here so he could cook the lunch menu since you're not here before us." He babbles on the other line without letting me explain. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep so I woke up late and I will be there soon. Tell Yoongi that I'm sorry if he needs to get in the shop since I told him not to work for today." 

"It's okay Mia. I just get back to the checkup before coming to the shop. Just take your time, it doesn't have many customers so we are good. Just eat lunch before going to the shop." Yoongi says to the other line.

"That's good. I will be there soon so you could get back home and have a rest." He just grumbles as he disconnects the call. 

"He doesn't even let me thank him, " I mumble as I roll my eyes. 

I grab my chocolate to eat one bite to give me energy for the morning start. I get two pieces of bread and toast it on the toaster. While waiting for the bread, I crack some eggs and cook on the pan along with the bacon. After that, I assemble the toast so I could eat my brunch on the road. Shortly after, I walk out of the kitchen and ready all my things before bathing my body.

As I walk inside the coffee shop, they're glancing at me with a bother inside their eyes. I sigh as I step inside the locker room to place my bag. I grab the letter that was given to me before wearing my apron and slowly wander outside. 

"What is that?" Jennie asks me while looking at the letter. 

"A letter that was given to me last night, "

"That's why you are late for work because you're thinking about the letter," Jennie murmurs with a teasing voice.

"I-I'm not t-thinking about the letter. I-I was watching movies." I look away to avoid eye contact with Jennie.

"Really? You're watching movies... As far as I know, you don't like watching movies since you are a nerd." Jennie wrinkles his eyes and she rubs her chin, gesturing as if she's thinking.

 "I don't but people change," I mumble as I place the letter in my pocket. 

Promptly after, Justin yanks the letter out of my hand. My mind fusses when Justin starts opening the letter. 

"Ohoho, this letter was interesting." He asserts as he looks at me with a smirk on his face. I bite my lips, regretting that I bring my letter with me.

"Read it aloud! I want to know what's inside." Theo exclaims as he jumps at Justin's back. I run towards him as I attempt to reach the letter when he lifts his hand up yet he's very tall.

"Don't read it!" I screech. Justin stuck his tongue as he read the letter out loud. I look down, attempting to suppress my shame. 

'I yearn this floor to halve and digest me!' I scream inside my head. 

"These variegated tulips are as beautiful as your eyes, Which brightens my hopeless heart. As the red tulips resemble your kind and pure personality, that every man in this world could get easy fall in love. What a very poetic man." Justin comments while smirking. I bury my face into my hands when a blush forms all over my face. 

"Justin! Stop teasing Mia and back to work." Yoongi scolds and Justin freezes with his eyes wide. 

Justin gives the letter back without looking at me. I ruffle his hair when seeing him pouting. 

"It's okay Jus. Don't be sad." I contend. He lifts his head whilst giving me his cute big smile with his teeth appear, like a bunny.  

"Yoongi mad at me because I teased you." He whispers.

"No, he's not. He just stops you from teasing. You should get back to work before Yoongi scolded you again." I say. He nodded as an answer

Afterward, I step inside the office to work on the budget and the ingredients that will be needed next week. Suddenly, someone knocks on the door. 

"It's open!" I announce with my eyes sticks on my paperwork. 

"Mia?" I hear Yoongi call me, I look up and smile. 

"I need to get back home. I need practice for my performance."  I put out of my glass and leans my chin to my inner palm.

"Okay, you can go home. I will finish this paperwork then I'll do your work. Tell Theo that I will help them as I finish this paperwork." I comment whilst smiling. When I get back to work, I notice Yoongi doesn't leave the room.

"What is it, Yoon?" I ask.

"I-I want to remind you to watch me perform at t-the u-underground." He reminds me whilst he avoids eye contact with me. 

"Of course, I won't forget. You know I always support you." I smile.

"Thank you, Mia," Yoongi says as he walks outside my office.
