I'm so so sorry it took me so long to post another chapter in the last week or 2. I had these chapters set up and then they sat. So I combined 2 to make a really long chapter to make up for it!

Chapter 9
The next day I baked my cupcakes and pastries and with time to spare I started making batter for gluten free ones. I had cleaned off a different station to bake on that didn’t have any flour and from previous times I did have a gluten free flour that was made with almonds instead. By the time I put them in the oven I was opening for business. Bringing the timer up front with me I put down the chairs and set up the front. I was in the middle of the opening procedure when the door opened. We doubled as a coffee shop so not too surprised that even with it being seen in the morning people would come in. The day got started.
After I got off shift around noon I packed up the cupcakes and cookies I had made, left a few for the others on shift to try and see if they would be good to sell. I made my way to the studio to see Bree at work. It didn’t surprise me to enter and see her talking to several people at the reception desk. When she saw me her eyes lit up and she basically dismissed the people she was talking to.
“Sunny!” Bree exclaimed. A few heads turned but they didn’t pay any attention to me.
“So how did it go?” Was the first thing out of her mouth.
“How did what go?” I asked confused.
“The date” She said point blank.
I stared at her.
“What Date?” I asked slowly trying to understand.
“You and Namjoon, watching the movie together” Bree stated. I just stared at her for a long minute before I burst out laughing.
“That was not what it was. It was two friends watching a movie together that everyone else bailed on” As I spoke my wheels turned. “Wait did you set it up so no one else would stay” I questioned.
“Well Duh, You need a push and I thought I pushed enough” She said. “Apparently not” She said out of half her mouth and slightly muffled.
“You bitch!” I accused her. “I do not need a push.” I told her. “In fact I had a great time with a friend last night and if you go down this road one more time no more treats for you!” I declared. Her arms crossed over her chest.
“You won’t go through with that” Her eyes narrowed.
“Oh you wanna bet” I pulled the basket and box off the counter.
“What kind are those?” She eyed the box. I grinned at her.
“A new recipe for cupcakes” I told her. Bree’s mouth parted and I heard a whimper. “Tempting” I told her.
“No, nope I’m still gonna meddle in your love life” She shook her head and took a step back.
“Fine your loss” I told her and grinned as I thought of someone else I could bring them to. “Can I go in than” I asked her.
“What No! Do you want me to loose my job” Bree’s mood changed and she was in business mood taking her job seriously.
“No, Alright I have other means” I grinned setting the box and the counter and pulled out my phone. I sent a message to Namjoon to see if they were in the building and got a reply right away.
BTSRM: In a practice room, Why are you here?
SunnySkys: Yup I’m down stairs with a goodie bag
BTSRM: Be right down.
“Who were you messaging?” Bree inquired.
“Bo. . . Who do you think” I lied.
“No you didn’t” Bree shook her head. “He isn’t here” She added. “You messaged Namjoon”
“Maybe I did” I raised an eyebrow.
“HA! It worked. I got you to meet him again” Bree exclaimed than did a little happy dance.
“No you didn’t. Besides I am friends with him” I told her.
“Friends with benefits” She chanted. I shook my head and turned my back to her just to see Namjoon stepping out of the elevator. Turning around I grabbed a cupcake and shoved it in Bree’s mouth to shut her up. I really didn’t need Namjoon to hear her dancing around and chanting ‘Friends with benefits’
“Damn, these are yummy. There isn’t a lot of flavor though, it looks like vanilla is that what it is?” She said making me groan.
“No don’t say that. I thought I put enough flavor to cover the rice flour taste. Its supposed to be Dulce le creme, in the middle there is the caramel frosting, not the artificial with corn syrup but the sugar cane kind” I looked at her.
“The frosting is good, its really moist too, but it taste like Vanilla cupcake” She said with cupcake in her mouth.
“Sunny” I heard Namjoon say my name. Whirling around and stopping myself from my next sentence to Bree I saw Namjoon coming towards us.
“Hey Namjoon” I whirled around and looked at him.
“Didn’t know I would be seeing you today” He said.
“Yea I didn’t know either, surprise” I shot back at him. “I ended up making a bunch of gluten free cupcakes and muffins and thought I would bring some buy for you and your friends” I told him.
“That was nice of you” he said taking the box from me. “I would have you come up but right now the guys are in the mode and don’t want to take a break” He said. I could see that he had a baggy shirt that looked twice the size of him on showing a lot of skin and baggy sweatpants. It was the most ordinary clothes I could see on anyone, including all the guy friends I knew.
“Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt” I said now feeling bad I was intruding on his work time.
“No your fine” He chuckled and I saw him smile which made me feel a little better.
“Okay” I said soundly shy. Crap that wasn’t right.
“Sunny was talking about making these gluten free cupcakes and the cake is so moist, Namjoon you have to try one” Bree cut in and started rambling about the treats.
“Yea, we were talking about it last night” Namjoon slanted a look at her but than shifted his gaze back to me.
In the background I could hear music playing and looked around to see where it was coming from. The elevator doors had dinged and someone was walking out playing music. It was BTS Fake love I recognized than saw that it was one of the members.
“Namjoon are you coming back up or are you taking a break?” Taehyung asked. His gaze went towards the reception desk as he looked at Bree.
“I was going to come back up” Namjoon said.
“Oh, I was coming down to take a break with you” Taehyung said. “I thought we’d go to the cafetera to grab a drink. Bree do you have a break soon?” He asked looking at Bree.
“Um” She looked at her watch. “I have another half hour before I’m done. My break was earlier than this” She said. “Sunny and I were going to head out to get food after that” She said.
“Oh” He sounded a little disappointed and I was curious as to what was going on there.
“Would you mind if I joined you two ladies?” Namjoon asked.
“Of course you can Namjoon” Bree exclaimed excitedly making me want to groan but I suppressed it. I knew what she was doing it.
“Yea, the more the merrier” I said looking at Taehyung. If I got someone else to go then even if Bree ditched out there would be someone else there and it would be a group of friends hanging out.
“I would love to join” Taehyung said
“Great” I grinned at him.
“Um are you sure you don’t need more practice?” Bree asked him. Taehyung looked at her and I looked at Taehyung to see he was looking a little hurt.
“Are you kidding. Tae has perfected the dance already, he’s just been working extra hard to get timing down and he already did” Namjoon clamped a hand down on Tae’s shoulder and Tae looked like he was happy for the compliments his leader was paying him.
“See, so the four of us in a half hour?” I double checked.
“You can see if any of the others want to come too” Bree pitched in.
“We’ll see” Namjoon winked at me. I had no clue what he was winking about or what he was thinking but I grinned when I looked back at Bree.
Namjoon and Taehyung went back upstairs leaving us at the front desk.
“Is there something going on between you and him?” I leaned over the counter to ask Bree and her cheeks reddened.
“No, and nothing is going to happen. I’m not jeopardizing my job let alone I have no time or desire to be with anyone” Bree said.
“Hmm or is it you don’t think you can make room in your schedule for someone else?” I raised an eyebrow.
“Or that he would” She sighed and hung her head almost having it rest on the counter.
“There we go” I chuckled. “So can I choose wear we go?” I asked.
“But I wanted to get Pizza” Bree whimpered.
“Hmm, Oh what about The Place that has the bomb pizza?” I snapped my fingers at the thought.
“What place is that?” Bree questioned.
“The Place” I repeated.
“Yea, what place? I know the one in the mall but if taking those two I don’t think that would be appropriate” Bree said.
“Yea I know that which is why I’m suggesting The Place” I told her.
“Again what place?” She raised a brow. Sighing I pulled out my phone and looked up The Place and showed her that it was the name of the restaurant.
“Its underground and so far is not to busy in the late afternoon” I pointed out.
“Oh that’s what you were talking about. Alright sure that sounds good Plus I get Pizza and I bet they have chicken wings” Bree nodded agreeing to the place.
I called up The Place to make a reservation just in case we needed one and got a table for four.
I Talked to Bree for a bit while she waited to get off work. When the next person came to cover the front desk Bree took a moment to change clothes to go out and by than I was sending a message up to Namjoon that we were heading out soon.
