"Okay, okay. Good! Nice job Yoongi," Jin praises proudly. "Just add a tablespoon more of baking powder and we'll put this in the oven!"

He pats Yoongi on the back, walking over to Hoseok on the other side of the small kitchen.

The experience of learning how to bake had been, messy. Flour coated the floors and countertops like a thin layer of snow.

Yoongi had accidentally cracked a few eggs onto the floor due to Hoseok jumping around the kitchen.

Yoongi wasn't sure if he would be able to work around such a hyper person. However, he decided to stay because he needed the money.

He adds the last measurement of baking powder.

"Alright! Nice job guys. Let's put these in the oven yeah?" Jin asks in an upbeat tone.

"YEAH!" Says Hoseok excitedly. He starts flapping his arms around before picking up his small pan and handing it to Jin. In turn, Yoongi did the same.

As Jin places the dishes into the oven, he suddenly extends his leg backward and hooks his foot around a mop that's leaning on a counter behind him. When he stands, he brings his leg forward, catching the stick with his hand. He swiftly closes the door to the oven afterward and puts his other hand on his hip.

Hoseok looks at his hyung with gleaming eyes.

"Wow hyung! That was so COOL!" He exclaims, jumping up in the air.

Jin chuckles. "Thank you, Hobi. I am pretty cool, aren't I?" He smirks as he starts cleaning up the floor.

Who's Hobi? Yoongi thought.

"Yeah, hyung," Hoseok chimes, "You're not only cool, you're leJindary!" He bursts into a loud laugh.

Jin starts laughing too. The sound resembling something like windshield wipers to Yoongi.

All actions slowly halted when the sound of the bells on the door chimed. Someone was here.

"Who could that be?" Wonders Jin aloud, "We don't open until 1:00 pm on Saturdays. Hobi, did Jungkook and Taehyung say they would be coming in today?"

Hoseok only shrugs.

Jin puts down the mop and walks over to the staff door, opening it smoothly, Hoseok follows. Yoongi decided to stay where he was until he knew it was safe.

"Hey! It's TAEKOOK!" yells a voice a few seconds later.

"J-Hooooooopppee!" two other voices holler back in unison.

Yoongi peeks his head out of the door. There are two guys standing with Hoseok and Jin. One of which Hoseok has in a semi-headlock of a hug. Jin stands, laughing and patting the other on the back.

The first boy seemes to be pretty young. Yoongi can't necessarily distinguish his features properly due to Hoseok's death-grip on him. However, he can see the huge rectangular smile covering his face. The boy's skin has a wonderful tan shade to it. And he has on striped pants with a black V-neck that surprisingly go well together. Yoongi can tell at least one thing for sure, this boy has a good sense of fashion.

The other, who is talking with Jin about something Yoongi can't hear, seems even younger than the first. At least that's what his face portrays. However, his physique does not match the assumption. His muscled arms are visible through his white long sleeve shirt. And his toned legs can slightly be seen as the blue-jean fabric hugs them. Jin must have made a joke because the boy's front teeth poke out of his mouth as he smiles cheerfully.

He looks like a rabbit.

"Actually, Hobi here managed to hire a new part-timer. He's--" Jin turns and Yoongi ducks back into the kitchen swiftly. "Ah, I guess he's still in the kitchen. Yoongi! Could you come out here?"

Yoongi grimaces but steps outside. He hates meeting new people. It only adds bricks to his walls. And that was becoming tiring.

When he's finally before the four other guys he gives a small wave and drops his arm back to his side, keeping his face neutral. "Hello I'm Min Yoongi."

The boy who had been in a headlock by Hoseok flashes another rectangle smile and walks up to Yoongi, waving. "Hi! I'm Taehyung," he stuck out a hand, "you can call me Tae, Taetae, Ailen, anything you want, really. Oh, and Taehyung of course," he giggles. Yoongi shakes his hand a bit limply, leaning away from the odd boy slightly. He glances over at the other boy and then back at Jin who, once again, only shrugs his shoulders and gives an encouraging smile.

Hoseok smacks his hands onto Taehyung's shoulders. "Come on Tae, you're scaring him," he said with a chuckle. He pulled the now pouting Taehyung backward gently and Yoongi looked back over to the other unknown young man in the room.

"Hello, I'm Junkgook," said the boy with a bow. "I'm 19 and a major in music and arts at this school. I work here whenever I can and I will do my best if we work together. Oh, well I mean I always do my best but...you...I-I mean, that is, uh..."

Jin places a comforting hand on the malfunctioning boy's shoulder. "That's alright Kookie that was an excellent introduction," he says with a smile.

Jungkook chuckles nervously as he looks up at him. "T-thanks, hyung."

Jin winks at the younger quickly before turning and addressing all of them. "So, since we've lost yet another employee and we've only just gotten a new one, I've decided to change a few things to provide a little more stability. I'll have to assign a set schedule for you two to keep things balanced," he gestured to Taehyung and Jungkook, "And as for you Hoseok, I may promote you to manager to keep your authority from being questioned again."

Hoseok nods, a smile on his face.

"And you, Yoongi. I'll keep an eye on you for about two weeks, to make sure you follow the rules and get the hang of things. Hobi will help show you the ropes and how to deal with customers. When would you be able to work your shifts?"

Yoongi scratched the back of his neck. "Evenings I suppose, my classes are in the morning so I'm usually free after about 12:30."

"Perfect!" Jin says, clapping his hands together. "You can work a shift with Jungkook then. Taehyung and Hobi, could you both work in the mornings?"

"Not a problem," pipes Hoseok.

"Uh, yeah sure! I should be able to." Said Taehyung with a small smile.

"Great, it's settled then. Now, we've cleared everything away, all we need to do is clean the place up and get ready for opening." Jin says. He turns back to Yoongi. "Welcome to the team," he says with a warm smile.

Yoongi nods awkwardly.

"Uh, hyung?"

"Yes, Jungkook?"

"Is something...burning?"

----------------------------
Oops.

I think Yoongi may need a few more lessons...or maybe just a timer.
I hope you enjoyed the chapter!

See you soon!
