The boy was too loud for Yoongi's preference, but he was too desperate for coffee to leave.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" Hoseok says enthusiastically.

"No. The coffee is all I need." Yoongi replies blandly.

He left the front counter to sit at a table, pulling out his earbuds and laptop, ready to search up some jobs.

After a while though, he hears noises that are definitely not part of his music. This was odd, because Yoongi could almost never hear anything else with his volume up.

He takes out one earbud and turns off the current song, flinching slightly when the loud voices are suddenly amplified.

"I DON'T CARE!"

"I CANT PAY YOU IF YOU DON'T DO THE WORK! THAT MAKES NO SENSE!"

"WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO BE PAID BY YOU ANYMORE?"

One of the voices hesitates before continuing in a softer tone.

"Y-you don't mean that. I- you can't..."

"I do." Says the other voice sternly.

Yoongi hears clattering and soon sees a young man storming out of the café.

"Wait! Jiwoo come back!" Yoongi sees Hoseok running after the boy, but it's too late. Hoseok reaches up to his red face, covering it with his hands.

"What am I going to do?" He said into his hands, his voice coming out muffled.

Yoongi looks around, he was the only one here and wasn't sure how to deal with this. He decided to stay out of it. It wasn't his business anyway. He puts his earbud back in and continues working.

Hoseok's POV

What am I going to do!? I lost another employee..
Jin-hyung is going to kill me.

Hoseok takes out his phone and hesitantly taps the contact of his boss with a trembling hand.

Ring...

Ring...

"Hello?"

"Jin-hyung! Hey, uh...can you come down here real quick?"

"Sure, I just need to-- wait, why? Did something happen?"

Hoseok's heart skips a beat.

"Uh, w-well. You see what happened was.."

Jin's sigh was audible on the line.

"Another one, Hobi?"

"I- I'm really sorry, hyung." Hoseok says, tears coming back to his eyes.

Jin could hear Hoseok's voice wavering.

"Hey, look, it's okay. It is, really. We'll just find someone else, yeah? Don't worry, it'll be okay."

"But hyung, the payment is due in two weeks--"

"Don't worry, we'll figure something out okay? Hyung will take care of it. When Jungkook and Taehyung arrive, tell them to spread the word and see if they have a friend looking for a job. We'll be okay. I promise."

"Okay, hyung. I'll talk to you later," Hobi says, wiping his eyes.

"Bye, Hobi."

Hoseok sniffs and rushes back to the staff room.

Yoongi closes his laptop and stands.

He never turned his music back on.
