Taehyung got a phone call while he was in the middle of getting his pizza out of the oven. He had been very focused on not burning himself and getting the pizza perfectly on his plate without messing things up. But the sudden loud ringtone made his hands flinch which effectively made the pizza fall on the table by slipping over his hand, the tomato sauce burning his right hand.
"Ah fuck shit", he cursed before quickly patting his pockets in search off the goddamn phone. He found it sitting in his back pocket and lifted the device up to his ear with his not burnt hand.
"Hello?", he answered as he pushed his right hand underneath the cold water running out of the old creaky faucet.
"Hello there Kim Taehyung", he heard a familiar voice which seemed to be very amused, almost as if there was a smirk on his face.
Taehyung rolled his eyes as he bathed in the feeling of his hand cooling down, "You know my name, woah, big deal. Now what's up. Do I have the job or not?"
He really hoped he did, even though he sounded very casual on the phone. He needed the money or else he'd be kicked out of the apartment. He hadn't been paying his bills for the last two months and he was surprised the landlord hadn't noticed yet. That, or the man just pitied the twenty year old.
"Yeah you have the job. We didn't have many job applicants in the first place", Jimin replied, "Your first shift starts tomorrow. I expect you here at 1 pm sharp".
"Alright. I'll be there", Taehyung said, shutting down the faucet.
"See you tomorrow".
He heard the beep signalizing Jimin ended the call and Taehyung froze.
Wait- he's going to be working there too? Ah fuck that.

Jimin smiled at the new customer who he also recognized as the cute schooler who had seemed to have taken a liking to him.
"Hi there Jungkookie. How are you?", he cooed, ruffling the boy's hair when the boy smiled at him.
"I'm awwight", the student spoke up, a pink lollipop stuck in his mouth as he hummed along to the song that was playing in the second hand shop.
A sudden thud surprised the youngest and he turned his attention to a guy who was picking up the clothes he had dropped. The green hair was a quick indicator to who it was.
"Taehyung's working here now. It's his first day", Jimin smiled, "He's a little clumsy from time to time but I guess we'll have to live with that".
Taehyung shot a quick glare to his co-worker as he was stuffing the clothes back into his arms, "I can hear you, you know".
"Taehyung?", Jungkook asked, pulling the lollipop out of his mouth, "His name?"
"Yep, I've finally found out what his name is", Jimin smiled, watching Taehyung wobble to the storage room with a pile of clothes that threatened to slip out of his grip.
