"Oiya, the bike is correct that"

Yuta's loud voice caught my attention.

"Seriously? Is it still intact?" I asked

"Yeah, it's like new again"

"What bike? Since when did you ride a bicycle?" asked Johnny.

"It's really mean, Jae, your own sister is told to ride a bicycle." Winwin oppa shook his head.

Jae let out a resigned breath, "It's not her bike, I don't know"

My face brightened as soon as I got a reply message from Taehyung

"Well, if that's the case, I'll just go home with Yuta oppa, okay?" I said quickly.

"Why?" Jae asked

"Yes... you can" The man from Japan agreed. "I'll take you then"

"No need! I'll go home alone!"

"Hey don't be weird!" Jae hit my head.

"why!?" I screamed, then rushed to reply to Taehyung's chat.

Please share the location, I want to go there! |

That evening without realizing it, apparently Kim Taehyung was able to make me smile just because of the little things he did.

"Son, please deliver this order to the two people sitting near the window okay?"

The black-haired man nodded firmly while letting out his best smile, in a bandage. Red apron around his waist, Taehyung lifts a tray containing two bowls of steaming prawn ramen.

He didn't go to school today, he worked. But he didn't skip classes for work. The child was sick, but Taehyung's pain was not like other children who would have a fever and shiver in bed without being able to do anything.

Taehyung is not like that.

Wiping his sweat, he rushed towards the kitchen. Do whatever he can do. Since then he has done all the work well.

Washing dishes, cooking noodles, delivering orders, cleaning tables at the tavern, mopping floors.

Uncle Shinpaman is good

The kind uncle Shinpaman who gave him a job and treated him like his own son had no other workers besides Taehyung. The shop wasn't too crowded, but it wasn't empty either. A small shop that people like because their ramen is famous for being delicious and also cheap.

Taehyung has known Uncle Shin since two years ago, Uncle Shin is like a second home for him, and also as... his parents. He's the one who always takes Taehyung's semester report cards like what Renjun meant.

The boy sat down on the bench after he finished washing the dishes of some customers who had just left. Wiping his sweat with the back of his hand, Taehyung took a small note tucked into his back trouser pocket.

schedule today

09.00-17.30 School

08.00-10.00 delivery newspapers ✔ 10.15-17.30 uncle shin shop ✔

17.40-20.00 Luna florist 20.10 21.00 Namsan BBQ

Taehyung put a tick mark on Uncle Shin's shop with his black ballpoint pen. He glanced at his schedule one more time, then glanced at the clock on the wall above the tavern's back door.

"You want to go home after this?" Uncle Shin's voice made him turn his head in the opposite direction.

Then, the boy nodded. A wide smile showing a row of neat teeth.

"Go straight home? Is this for dinner, have you already eaten? Or do you want to eat first and then go home?" the half century old man handed me a small brown paper bag containing a serving of noodles in styrofoam.

Taehyung hurriedly wrote on his little note.

"I have eaten, thank you uncle"

Uncle Shin couldn't speak sign language, so Taehyung had to write down what he said on a note just like before.

"Straight home right?"

Taehyung shook his head.

"I have to sell flowers after this, then go to a barbecue restaurant in Namsan"

The shop owner then smiled and sighed. His smile was more like pity. Then he patted Taehyung on the shoulder like a father.

"After that, go home soon, you have to go to school tomorrow, okay?"

Taehyung smiled and nodded.

"The trash is full again, I want to throw it away"

"Yes, after that you can go straight home" Uncle Shin smiled.

Putting his note into his pocket, Taehyung immediately stood up, he walked and left through the back door after picking up a large bag of trash in the corner of the room.

And out of nowhere, I, who at that time was riding his bicycle while being guided by Google maps, found the figure of the child putting garbage into three different bins.

Taehyung in a black shirt, black jeans and an apron looks so tall. He has a good body, on par with Jungkook

"Tae!" I shouted,...
