Sweet Miracle

10

It's weekend morning, Taehyung thought Jungkook would be home but there he goes again-another part-time job he says.

It's actually a good news for Taehyung if Jungkook is not home since he planned to go to Songjeong-dong. He thought he wouldn't be able to go if Jungkook is home as he might ask to tag along with him and he can't possibly take him with him.

But he keeps wondering on just how many part-time jobs Jungkook has. It's true that he needs to earn money for both of them, but working without resting is never good. Maybe that's why Taeun was looking for work as well and contacted the cafe, she couldn't have possibly just sit and wait for Jungkook to earn and bring the bread home by himself.

Taehyung sighs as he look around the house, funny how he's starting to familiarize the place in just a few days.

"I don't think he'll be able to manage alone with only the pays from his part-time jobs for both of us. Should I work too? But where and what should I apply for? There's no documents of her here, not even highschool graduation certificate. Should I contact that cafe again?"

Isn't this crazy? Left his high paid stable and decent job when he was almost promoted and he's now here thinking of working in a cafe. As a woman.
He always believed life can really be unpredictable, but his life really just turned into something unpredictable more than the unpredictable.

If he tells someone what had happened to him, they might think he has gone crazy. Because who wouldn't? He himself would've never believed if someone had told him.

It didn't take him much time to reach Songjeong-dong. The subway wasn't that busy as it usually does since it's weekend. Thanks to that, he could avoid the rushings-he hates that.

With the photograph on his hand, he approached the shops around the area to ask about the two people in the picture but nobody said they knew them.

"Is it because the picture is old? They do look quite young here, but is it possible to not recognize their faces? Why no one knows about them? Or... am I even in the correct place? What if they're not from Songjeong-dong?"

It was hot, the sun was bright-definitely not a good idea to walk around without an umbrella because his skin started to burn.
He rushed to a bakery shop by the corner since there was a big tree beside-enough for a few minutes of escape from the sun under the shade.

"Oh? Do you want to buy cookies?"

Taehyung turned when he heard the shopkeeper from inside the shop.

"Cookies? Oh ye- uh well-" Taehyung hesitated for the first time in buying cookies. He actually like cookies, very much. He would stop to one particular shop he always buy cookies from, he even got regular customer coupons from the shop.
But now, he's hesitating, not because he doesn't like it anymore, but because he doesn't have money. He only got a few cash from Taeun's wallet which was enough only for the return fare.

"Come inside. You can taste it first if you want to try before buying."

"It's... it's alright, I'm not buying. I'm sorry. I was just standing here for the shade."
It's embarrassing, but what can he possibly do? He shouldn't have stood there in the first place.

"It's alright if you're not buying. Just come inside if you're here for the shade. Isn't it hot out there? We have cooler here, it'll be more comfortable inside."

Taehyung tried to say no but from the lady's insist, he hesitantly get inside the shop, and just like she said, it was much comfortable inside.

There wasn't much customer except for a middle aged man trying to persuade his son to get the smaller package of cookies but the son keeps nagging to get him the bigger one.
