Farmer Lover | Taejin✔️

Chapter 9🌴

Jin looked around the farm and he felt little creepy to stand there alone in the vast land. He jogged behind the farmer and the other didn't worry about him. After settling the animals in their respected small homes that Taehyung built, he looked back to see Jin standing there without knowing what to do.

After feeding the birds, Taehyung walked to Kim Seokjin who was keeping his nose closed by the stinky smell from the poultry.

"Come with me." Jin felt shivers running down on his spine when he heard the deep voice. He was sure he felt intimidating. Without questioning further, Jin walked behind Taehyung like a lost puppy.

The hot sun didn't bother him anymore since he was finally relieved to step into the farm house. He was thankful that this house was cooler though outside was freaking hot. He could tell Kim Taehyung had worked hard to build this house.

Jin stopped on his tracks and hit his forehead behind Taehyung when the other halted. He lightly winced in pain and rubbed his forehead before looking at the farmer who was already looking at him.

"So what were you doing out there, Mr.Kim?" Jin gulped by seeing Taehyung standing there cool with hands inside his shorts pocket.

Jin left a heavy breathe before speaking.

"Like I said I am helping you in farming. B-But this animals were chasing me and scaring the shit out of me." Taehyung gave a light chuckle before furrowing his eyebrows.

"It's the other way round. You are scaring the animals not them, Mr. Kim." Seokjin was taken back by the sudden harsh words.

"What the fuck? I am scaring them?" Jin asked in disbelief while the farmer simply nodded to his question.

"You know what, your animals are just like you, farmer. They are dumb and not listening." Jin shook his head in disappointment and looked at Taehyung when the other cleared his throat.

"Since you think we are dumb, why don't you prove us that you are clever?" It was Jin's time to furrow his eyebrows in confusion.

"What are you trying to say, farmer?" Jin tilted his head while waiting for Taehyung to speak further.

"Do you not remember our challenge or perhaps you forgot, Mr. Kim?"

"I do. And you are the one who didn't give any tasks for me." Jin said making Taehyung to nod in response.

"Good and just so you asked for the tasks I am giving you." Jin happily clapped his hands like a seal and was ready to do any task to win in this challenge.

"What is it?" A little laugh escaped Taehyung's lips by seeing how eager Jin was.

"It's hatching season now."

"And?"

"Since you are not good with animals, I want you to take care of the poultry farming. Your duty is to take care of the chickens and their eggs carefully. Once the eggs are hatched I want you to bring the little chicks to me or atleast inform me."

Jin was jaw dropped by listening to the words that the farmer just said. He wasn't sure what the heck did Taehyung said just now.

"How do I know if the chickens are laying eggs or they are hatching?" Kim Taehyung was not shocked to hear such a stupid question. He in fact expected it, since it was the great Kim Seokjin.

"Well it takes 21 days for the eggs to hatch. And it's been three days since the hen have laid the eggs. I want you to take a close watch and make sure that the hens give the warmth to the egg. Sometimes not all eggs would hatch but if we are lucky we would get all alive."

Jin was busy in remembering all the things that the farmer was saying. He had come across companies where they use machines for the poultry farming but he knew he can't expect it here. He could also not say to Taehyung to inject the animals or the eggs.

"Now I am going to cook for lunch. And I want you to take up the task right after we finish eating." Before Jin could say anything, Taehyung was already heading to the kitchen. Jin released a heavy sigh before plopping down on the sofa in the living room.

He wasn't sure how he was going to do. But he was happy that atleast he got a task to prove himself. But he didn't know what this would do to him. He cursed himself for doing some stupid challenge when he could enjoy his life in the city instead of burning here.

But he also wondered how could Taehyung stay in a place away from the city. He looked aside to see the farmer preparing lunch for them. Jin must say this guy was a hard worker and he never expected anything from others.

Jin felt lonely and bored with the loss of signal in his phone. He didn't have anyone to contact or speak with when his phone had no signal. All he had was Taehyung and he knew that if he was going to stay in this farm house for the next six months he must befriend the farmer.

Jin stood up and decided to take a small bath before helping Taehyung. He decided to atleast get to know about the farmer in the mean time.

Taehyung was busy in stirring the soup and cutting onions on the other side. He doesn't eat much and his appetite was small. But after being with Jin for two days, Taehyung understood that Mr. Kim would eat without any count if the food was delicious.

A smile was creeping on Taehyung's face by thinking about Jin. Though the man looked tough and cold, he was literally a baby in Taehyung's eyes. His fear towards those harmless birds made Taehyung realize how innocent the other was.

But he was not going to show pity or love towards Jin. He knew the motive of Kim Seokjin and reason for his stay in his house. If he wanted the land he want the other to earn it. But deep inside Taehyung knew that Kim Seokjin would lose in his life for the first time.

Taehyung turned back when he heard someone clearing their throat. He saw Kim Seokjin standing there fresh and neat by wearing his casual clothes.

"You are kind of wasting water if you change your clothes for every time you go out, Mr. Kim." Taehyung shook his head and hid his light blush when he found how cute Seokjin looked in his dress.

Kim Seokjin was not bothered by those words. He lightly brushed his wet hair before walking towards Taehyung to talk.

"You know, farmer. I am going to be living here for the next few months. And I don't want us to be in bad terms. In fact I need your help in learning about farming. I know I am not your type, neither you are mine. So let us try to be good to each other."

"Wow, never expected such a confession from you, Mr. Kim. And I must say I am touched. But I hope you don't take my hospitality as an advantage. And if you want to have lunch, come and cut the veggies instead of talking shitty things."

Kim Taehyung said firmly before scooping some soup in the spoon and tasting it. Jin mentally cursed at himself for trying to be nice for once in his life to a stranger.

"Stupid farmer." Jin said little loudly which clearly traveled through Taehyung's ears. But without bothering to reply he gave the knife and spring onion to Jin to cut it. With a lots of mumbling Jin cut the spring onion without looking at the farmer who was indeed had a big grin.
