Namjoon makes quick work of cleaning Jimin's bite and dressing it in bandages, whilst somehow still being gentle. He smiles, pleased with his work and asks Jimin how he feels.

"Tired, but better than earlier, thank you" Jimin smiles, meaning every word. He shrugs on the tshirt Yoongi gave him, and is happy to find it fits comfortably.

Before he forgets Namjoon examines his knee, remembering Jimin had said he'd fallen on it. There's a dark bruise flourishing across the knee cap. Carefully, he feels around the joint, earning some hisses from Jimin.

"It's not broken and nothing is torn. It might be a bit tender for a while but I think it's just a bruised bone." He says as he removes his surgical gloves.

"However I'd like to take some blood tests in the morning if you don't mind? Bites like that have a high chance of getting infected, and yours was looking puffy. Don't worry, it's probably nothing, just swelling caused by the trauma to the tissue, but I think it would be better to check just in case."

Jimin didn't like blood tests. He avoided them at all costs in fact. To him, they were the Devil's work. Who even came up with the idea to stick things is their body to drain their life source anyway?

Yet somehow although they had only briefly met, Jimin trusted Namjoon's opinion. He bows his head a little, saying quietly "I really don't like blood tests....but that alley was really dirty and stuff so I guess I should" He pouts but then continues. "Thank you for everything Namjoon-ssi. I think you better treat Yoongi now"

Jin hums happily "Does this mean I can finally put down the light? Thank God, my wrist was really cramping up there"

Chuckling Namjoon smiles at his boyfriend "Don't get ahead of yourself, I'll need your assistance with Yoongi too"

Jimin stands, and moves to curl up in a chair, so that Yoongi can sit next to the doctor. He wonders whether he should leave now that he's been treated. After all Yoongi never said that he could stay. But it's so late, and he feels exhausted. After the ordeal earlier he was honestly a little scared to go back out. A shiver runs down his spine, all the way to the tip of his tail. He decides to stay and see what happens.

He's nearly at his desired chair when Yoongi walks past him, or should it be stumbles? He's unsteady on his feet. Jimin reaches out an arm to help although it's immediately shrugged off, Yoongi muttering that he's fine.

Brow furrowed, Jimin watches as his protector slumps down on the sofa. He doesn't miss the way Namjoon frowns as he puts on a fresh pair of gloves, and starts looking over him, quietly asking him questions.

Before he can sit down, there's a sudden rush of footsteps and Jin is grabbing his hands excitedly. Jimin's tail flicks against the cat's waist in surprise.

There's a gleeful look in Jin's eyes as they scan over Jimin's face again, mumbling: "Yes this is perfect"

Feeling very confused Jimin is stunned into silence, although it's calmed a bit by the fact Jin has such a homey scent, like freshly baked bread... and maybe a flare of cinnamon?

Excitedly the cat squeezes his hands, and says "Jimin, you're looking for a job right?! I kind of forgot earlier in the sadness of your homelessness and all, but this is great, no scratch that, this is perfect!"

It's true that he was desperately searching for even a half decent job. He nods slowly, his tail swishing anxiously, wondering where jin is going with this.

"Work for me! I've been searching for someone new, but I haven't found anybody so nice, or friendly, or cute"

Wait what? Cute? As if that doesn't ring alarm bells.

"What-"

Jin cuts him off, looking a little worried as he suddenly asks "You don't have a problem with dogs do you?" He pouts slightly not even giving him a chance to answer he's so enthusiastic in his cause "That would make things difficult but I promise you Taehyung is lovely! I really think you'd get along so well!"

He looks expectantly at Jimin and it takes a second to settle in that Jin is awaiting an answer.

However, stunned speechless Jimin doesn't know what to say.

HE JUST GOT OFFERED A JOB!

But he has no idea what it is... Only that it might involve dogs?  Or maybe dog hybrids?

"Wow! I'm...super flattered right now.... You didn't even ask for like qualifications or work experience... I don't have any issues with dogs. I think they're super cute actually" Jin nods along looking pleased, although Jimin's hesitance has him slightly on edge.

Why is he rambling? Why can't he just say yes? He needs this job, whatever it is.

"Thank you so much! Really! Just um... what actually is the Job?" He tilts his head as he asks, wishing he didn't feel so awkward, his ears flattened out in embarrassment.

"Oh!" Jin's eyes widen like saucers as he chuckles quietly. "Silly me. I can't believe I forgot that. I own a nice little café. A flower boy hybrid café to be more specific."

Raising an eyebrow, Jin asks confidently "So what do you say?"
