jumps on foreign roads

Working

[Y/N] POV

I heard from boss that today Taehyung would start working at the restaurant. From the corner of my eye I saw a very sleepy and groggy looking Taehyung walking down the stairs still in his pajamas. Our eyes met and he froze. His eyes grew bigger and ran back upstairs. To be honest I found his small actions cute. The way his hair was so messy and how his clothes looked so big in comparison to his lean figure. I walked upstairs to find him vigorously brushing his teeth. “Morning Tae, after brushing your teeth get changed and I’ll show you how to run this place.” I said my message and he nodded in response.

[Taehyung] POV

I just met Y/N yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about how nice she is. I was smiling like a fool after the nickname she gave me. In comparison to people back in Seoul she acted like a normal human being. I could already tell that she was warm hearted unlike those back home who only cared about status. With the speed of light I got dressed making sure to look presentable. I grabbed my best dress shirt and pants then made my way downstairs. There she was, her hair shined in the light and she rested her chin on her hand with her elbows propped on top of the table. Clearing my throat I made my way down the stairs and sat in front of her. “Hey Y/N. Um so apparently you are going to be showing me the ropes?” I managed to get those words out of my mouth without looking clammy.

[Y/N] POV

Walking around the restaurant I started showing Taehyung how the appliances in the kitchen worked, how to greet customers and how the general flow of this place worked. I handed him a hat and apron which both had our logo. He looked at me in confusion then later scratched his head. “is there a problem? Never seen an uniform before?” I questioned. “uhm I have but I'm not the type to really wear uniforms.” taehyung stuttered out. I gave him a perplexed look and replied to his statement, “well looks like you have to get used to uniforms.”. Just as our small conversation came to an end Tae’s uncle came into the room. “Hello!” tae and I greeted in unison. He flashed us a bright smile and walked towards us. “hey kids ready to start the day?” boss Kim replied. Then taehyung started to frown slightly as he crossed his arms and answered boss’s question, “Um actually no. I don't really know why I have to wear a uniform. I'd like to work in comfortable clothing.” I could tell taehyung was trying to sound nice and formal, it was obvious enough he tried to keep formality. Boss Kim looked at the boy in the eyes and bent down to keep eye level. “I'm sure you would like to work in comfort but in my house you listen to my rules. In my restaurant you follow my orders. I'm the boss here. Now please, wear the apron.” boss replied. After the statement taehyung scoffed and rolled his eyes. I nudged his arm and gave him a look which later made his mouth “what?” to me. I could hear rustles in the back and it was boss getting all the fruits, vegetables and meats out of his range of plastic bags. Every morning boss Kim would go out into the market and buy fresh ingredients for the meals that we serve in the restaurant. I walked over to boss and grabbed some meats and vegetables then tossed a few carrots to Taehyung. Another confused facial expression crawled onto his face. “put the apron on and cut the carrots, we are opening in two hours.” I said with a bright tone thinking that it would encourage him to work hard.

Taehyung places the carrots onto a table and ties the apron on his waist. Looking at him I couldn't help but giggle a bit for he wore it the wrong way. I asked Taehyung to turn around and let his back face me. Untying the knot I fixed his apron and made sure he wore it right. Only then did I notice his broad shoulders. Later he turned towards me, I am much shorter in comparison to him and his deep dark eyes met mine. My arms rested on his waist and I felt his hands land on mine.“get off.” taehyung mumbled. Shaking my head I took a few steps back and headed back into the kitchen. After an hour of cutting ingredients and constantly checking on Taehyung to see if he was focused boss called me and taehyung. “So kids, I'm going to be on a business trip in three days and whilst I'm gone Y/N will be in charge. I'm going to be gone for a week, two at the most if anything urgent appears.” taehyung and I looked at him in shock. “but why? Dad sent me here and now I'm just gonna be left here alone. He doesn't care about me does he? If he wanted to discipline me so badly why doesn't he just send me to the military at least there I won't be alone.” Taehyung exclaimed and stormed upstairs. Boss and I stood there in silence for a few moments taking in what just happened. “Taehyung doesn't seem to be in the best mood.” I said breaking the awkward atmosphere of the room. “yeah I see that but I hope does understand why I'm leaving, it's very important. You see Y/N I'm thinking of opening a branch in Busan.” boss spoke softly. “well that’s great! You are expanding this business of yours that you clearly put a lot of effort in. Please go on your trip. I'll make sure to keep this place in nice shape and I'm pretty sure I can convince Taehyung to think your trip in a brighter point of view.” I said and squeezed his hands reassuringly.

The next few hours consisted of serving customers and helping out in the kitchen with other colleagues. Taehyung still seemed to be in a bitter mood so I decided to not bug him for now. It was a hectic day at work, it was even busier when the sun started to set. Kids dragged their parents into the restaurant and plopped them onto chairs. Couples with sweet smiles and hands laced together scattered the place. Lastly those who were single enjoyed their times alone with a delicious meal. The clock turned 11 and it was closing time. Once the place was sparkling I took off my apron and dusted the last few tables with boss. I greeted him goodbye and released my hair from the messy bun it was in earlier letting my hair flow in the wind. Whilst walking home I felt a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around and my face lit up. He was tall and the familiar charming smile made me jump on my heels. His dark hair and brown eyes gave me warm feeling that no one could ever replace. This is my friend who always has a special place in my heart. “Hey Y/N~”
