A Saturday today. Taehyung decides to skim through some newspaper, looking for jobs suitable for him. After getting fired from his previous job as an announcer, he decided to try the F&B industry. A barista maybe?
Taehyung held a cup of coffee in his hands while the other holding a red pen, circling the jobs he would go for interview. He wanted somewhere nearer to where he lives, as so he can take care of Ae ra easily after he gets the job.
"Perfect! Kim cafe!" Taehyung quickly whips out his phone and contact the owner of the cafe.
"Aegi! I have a job interview tomorrow! I will ask my good friends to come over and look after you okay?" Ae ra nods lazily, seemingly to have just woken up.
"It's Jimin hyung, Jungkook, and Hoseok hyung! Try to remember their names Ae ra. They are very nice people! You will love them, I promise you." Taehyung nods his head at Ae ra while preparing cereal for her.
"Oh right! I have to enroll you into pre school. I'll check out those nearer to where we live ok?" Taehyung pats her petite hands. Ae ra gladly agrees. She wants to go to school very eagerly.

"Ah, hyung, Jungkook! Please help me look after Ae ra while I head to the interview. Please please please please, take good care of her." Taehyung looks at them sternly, "if not, I'll never forgive you."
"Chill out Tae! We will take care of your Ae ra. Besides, we three love little kids!" Jimin pats Taehyung's shoulders. "Goodluck with the interview. I hope you get the job."
Taehyung nods and thank god for the three of them.

"Hey, mr Kim Taehyung right? I am Kim Seokjin, the owner of this cafe. Thank you for coming to the interview. I desperately need someone." Seokjin laughs.
"So tell me about yourself." Seokjin takes a sip of his freshly brewed coffee.
"So, I am a university graduate, currently unemployed thus why I'm applying for this job. I have a child to feed at home. A single father. I can do latte art, brew coffee etcetera. Just, I'm really interested in working in the F&B industry. If you can give me this chance, I'll give you my best." Taehyung tries his best to persuade Seokjin to accept him.
"Okay mr Kim. So, why did you leave your previous job?" Seokjin questions, adjusting his already, almost perfect hair.
"Ah, I didn't leave though. They fired me. I was doing great in that job, until someone younger came and took my place as an announcer.." Taehyung looks down, embarrass of what he just said.
"Lastly, do you have anything you wanna ask?"
"Ah, yes yes. How long are the working hours and will I be able to pick my daughter here even during work hours?" Taehyung looks at Seokjin intently.
"Yes, you may bring your daughter here during your working hours. Prior that she doesn't disturb the customer and chase them away, I'm fine." Seokjin said. "Working hours would be from 9:00am to 8:00pm in the night."
Taehyung nods and thank Seokjin afterwards. "By the way, you're successful in applying for this job. I could see how you're so willing to try out in this industry and how you needed the finance stability in order to take care of your daughter. Report to work tomorrow at 8:00am sharp! I don't tolerate late comers. I will pass you your uniform tomorrow."
"Really, thank you so much mr Kim! I'll work hard." Taehyung clasps both his hands together and sigh in relieve. "Ae ra, your Appa has gotten himself a job.." Taehyung mumbles under his breathe as he walk out of Kim's cafe with light steps.
