My Gardener, My Husband

A new start.

Small get together, small get together?

It will be everything but small, not if Yoongi can help it, or Jimin himself, the two were quite rich and very well known.

Taehyung stood in front of his closet, "what do you even wear to these things" he thought to himself.

Taehyung looked at his watch, it was seven, the party starts at eight. Yoongi had texted earlier that he wouldn't be able to pick him up and he should take a cab. The drive would take about forty minutes.

He looked at himself one last time in the mirror before heading out, "I look fine, right?"

The drive was pleasant since the taxi driver seemed to have good taste in music. Taehyung was actually a bit disappointed when the driver announced that they had arrived.

He straightened his clothes and brushed a few strands of hair from his face before ringing the bell.

There wasn't a response for a bout a minute, when there was voice from the little speaker, "name?"

"Uhm- Kim, Kim T Taehyung" he said nervously, a few seconds later, the gate opened.

He hurried along the path towards the mansion.

"I knew it, I am totally underdressed" he muttered to himself when a servant came to open the door for him.

He held tightly onto the gift bag that he had prepared as he looked around hoping to see Yoongi or Jimin.

"Taehyung?" he heard someone call his name, when he turned around, it was the last person he expected to see.

"Mrs. Ha?" he asked in disbelief.

She gently took his hand and lead him to the kitchen.

"What-what are you doing here? I haven been trying to contact you? she asked.
"eh?" Taehyung was still very confused.

"I didn't hear from you since last week, I figured you picked someone else" Taehyung replied. "No- we picked you and you never replied to our email, I even tried calling you"

Taehyung's mouth went wide in realization there were a few new numbers that had been calling him, but because he was bummed out about not getting the job, he never picked up.

"But-but I never got your email" he replied.
"Have you checked your spam folder?" Mrs. Ha asked.

Taehyung slapped his forehead realizing how dumb he had been. The email was there, three of them to be exact, delivered at 7am on Friday.

"Am so stupid" he mumbled.

"Well if you don't show up for work tomorrow, then you are really stupid" Mrs. Ha said with a smile. "wait, you are still offering me the job?" Taehyung asked, quite surprised.

"Seven o'clock tomorrow Mr. Kim" she said and then walked away. "O my God, thank, thank you Mrs. Ha, thank you" Taehyung said repeatedly as he bowed.

Now he was feeling very giddy as he went back to look for the couple, no longer self conscious about how he looked.

If his neck could stretch any longer, it would. Somehow it still hadn't occurred to him to just call Yoongi as he still kept looking around.

There were too many people.

He was about to give up when he spotted Yoongi a distance away, "oh, finally" he breathed.

He was so focused on Yoongi that he didn't notice the person in front of him as he bumped into him.

There was a groan from Taehyung as he fell to to the ground, what was that? a rock?.

"Am so sorry, I didn't see you" he said as he slowly got up, patting his now painful butt"

The stranger was trying to lend him a hand, but was more focused on the gift bag, hoping what's inside is not ruined.

"It's okay" the man said before disappearing into the crowd.

When Taehyung finally decided to pay attention to him, he was gone. He figured it was for the best, what if he had stained his suit or something, then he would have to pay for dry cleaning. "no-no, am too broke for that" he said shaking his head.

He finally got to Yoongi and Jimin, he gave his gift and apologized for being late, even though he wasn't.

As the night went on, Taehyung got to realize that maybe he had his assumptions about Jimin all wrong. And maybe Yoongi was right and not only trying to defend his boyfriend.

Taehyung had excused himself to go to the bathroom and when he returned, he found the pair talking to someone.

He was tall, with long wavy hair, Jimin kept playing with his man bun and he didn't seem to mind at all, neither did Yoongi, they must be close he thought.

He only saw his back, but he knew that he didn't know him so he figured to wait until he left to rejoin the others.

"Tae-Taehyung!" it was Yoongi calling him and signaled him to come over. Taehyung let out a breath of relief when he saw Jimin walk away with the stranger.

"That was Jimin's older brother, but he had to leave, sorry I didn't introduce you" Yoongi explained.

"O, no it's okay, I will meet him another time" Taehyung replied.

They chatted for a bit, Taehyung was still in awe at how big the place was, it reminded him of where he was going to be working.

"Ah, Hyung, I go the job" he said with a big smile on his face.
"Wait, really? I thought-"
"Me too, but I met my new boss here, turns out there was a small mix up, but she said to show up tomorrow"

Yoongi was very happy for Taehyung as he hugged him, "oh, my baby is all grown up" he said ruffling his hair making Taehyung laugh.

When Jimin returned, the two were caught up in their celebration that they didn't notice him at first.

"What's the good news?" Jimin asked as he joined them.

"Oh, our Taehyung here just got a job" Yoongi explained. And just like last time, caught up in excitement, Jimin hugged Taehyung as he congratulated him. Taehyung didn't mind.

The party carried on, Taehyung secretly snuck away from the couple after a while. He figured he could use a few moments of some alone time to think about tomorrow.

Taehyung was taking a stroll in the garden, today Yoongi was coming back.

After Taehyung settled in the mansion, Yoongi finally told him that he was going to be away for a while for business.

He could have left sooner, but he wanted to make sure that Taehyung was settled before he did. So he waited for two months after Taehyung moved into the mansion, and now three months later, he was back.

All the rumors he had heard, turned out to not be rumors at all, but in fact, the truth.

He had only seen the master of the house, not more than three times, and that was from a distance. The man was always travelling for his work and when he returned, he spent a lot of time in his study or his room.

Taehyung did also tend to the flowers inside the house, but still, it's as though the man didn't live there.

Besides his boss, everything else was true as well. Mrs. Ha was just as nice as she was the first day he met her, and the existing staff were all very kind.

He soon got to find out that he was actually the youngest of all the people that worked there and they loved to pamper him.

Earlier that day, he had asked for permission from Mrs. Ha to leave the mansion for a while, he wanted to go and meet his brother, Yoongi.

Now it was time as Taehyung exited the garden.

The pay was really good so he had saved up a lot and planned to treat Yoongi to a good meal.

With his bag hanging over his shoulder, he headed for the gate, he couldn't help but smile as he thought about finally seeing Yoongi again, "does he have a beard now?" he wondered.
