Yoongi smiled after he shot a quick glance at a nearby clock on the wall. It was a bit after one. “Yes, I can. I have until five,” he informed. Chan offered him a wide, welcoming smile. 

“That is great. You can get tailored real quick and wear an old uniform until we can get you your own suit. Don’t worry, the shop is nearby,” the curly-haired man explained, placing a hand on Yoongi’s shoulder and showing him out. “Eunwoo, cover my shift while we are out,” the man added as he pushed open the staff door. The girlish boy nodded silently and stood, ready to begin greeting customers.

Chan led the way out of the building and into a nearby tailor shop. Upon entry, a small woman with a sharp chin and cute features greeted them from the desk where she sat, reading a magazine. She looked up and froze in shock for a few seconds.

She scrambled out of her seat, dropping the magazine in the rush. “It’s you, Chan! I’ll get Kai real quick,” she shuffled out of the waiting room behind a curtain.

Looking at Yoongi, Chan elaborated. “That’s Kei, she works for the male cousin, Kai, here,” he whispered, eyeing where she disappeared. “It’ll be good to remember them because they do a lot of tailoring for us -- tablecloth and clothes, you know? Anything that requires fabric. If you need anything personal tailored, you can always come to ask them. They’ll give you a discount since you work with us.”

In curiosity, Yoongi couldn’t help but ask, “Why, though? Seems like a loss of money to me.”
Chan chuckled at this. “It’s because Jin saved Kei once upon a time,” he simply stated in his perky yet gruff voice. The male was unable to go into depth of the topic because the girl in question had come back, ushering them to follow her with her hands.

“Kai is currently tailoring someone, but you can go right after he finishes. I hope you don’t mind the wait,” she announced, bowing and gesturing with her arm for them to sit in some patterned, cushioned chairs in the corner. Yoongi followed Chan example in seating himself. Kei bowed once more and left to resume her position at the front desk. 

It was a cramped, suffocating small room with the bland decor. To Yoongi, it was strange to have two waiting rooms, one right outside the tailoring room. Though, neither topics escaped his lips. Instead, he chose a topic that he was not too interested in himself. “Kei looks like she could dominate the world of cuteness,” Yoongi admitted, running a hand over the dark blue plaster. 

Chan gave a snort. “You are right. She created cuteness you can say. She tried to seduce Jin by being adorable once and he was the only one in the room who could resist it. Half the customers were ready to be her sugar daddy. If Jin wasn’t… you know… I’m sure she would have gotten to him too,” the curly-haired butler replied, running a hand up his arm.

Yoongi had to differ. “I think no matter what, she would fail. Jin has the personality of a mom. He’d just want to treat her as a child, even with the cuter she acts,” Yoongi argued, letting himself sink into the cushion of the chair. Chan looked at him with a raised brow, eyes falling on his hair.

“By the way, if you are going to work at the cafe, you’ll need to take care of that hair. It looks like you don’t use conditioner or at least shampoo. And redye it. Black or blonde... or blue, for all we care. Just take care of that unclean look. Trim it while you are at it,” the boy instructed, flinging Yoongi’s hair upward with his fingers then frowning when it stayed up. 

The half-blonde rubbed his neck. “That may be an issue. Purchasing dye, hair wash, and a haircut… I wanted this job for a reason after all,” he responded, shyly looking at the ground.
Chan was quick to fix this issue. “Oh, since its required by our workplace, the cost is taken care of by us too. We have plenty of money to spare,” he reassured. It was a relief to Yoongi’s ears. The door opened, letting out yet another person he did not want to see that day. The guy who was with Bunny Teeth at the gas station the night before. The guy, himself, was talking to another dude, presumingly Kai, discussing about fabric.
