The Runaway II.

" Sir, you want me to take care of your nephew?" Joohyun asked,

" If you heard me correctly,yes," Taehyung nodded his head, setting Yejun next to him before he fluffs his hair quickly and changes his slippers into a pair of even less distinguishing worn out grey converse shoes.

The sagging sweatpants and the accompaniment of a baby blue oversized t-shirt that read "2 CoOL for SkOol" didn't help even the slightest in making Taehyung look less like a college dropout.

Joohyun gave Taehyung a stern look.

" Sir, I came here hoping that you would need something important to do."

" Oh?" Taehyung raised an eyebrow and stood up, walking over to Joohyun, toppling over her height.

" If anything, the presentation slides for this month's meeting is still undecided. Maybe I can...choose yours this time."

The opportunity hit Joohyun, letting it soar into her thoughts of all the higher up clapping for Joohyun's well deserved spot light-

" Bae Joohyun, can you hear me ?" Taehyung asked, leaning down to snap abruptly in Joohyun's face.

" Yes sir." Joohyun unsnapped from her thoughts and turned to see Yejun wiggling to the ground and falling abruptly before waddling to Taehyung.

" TaeTae Hyung." Yejun said, giving Joohyun a glare and pulling Taehyung away from her.

" What is it Yejun? " Taehyung asked, poking Yejun's cheek with his pinkie.

" Mmmmmm she's a witch." Yejun points to Joohyun, who was coincidentally wearing a black laced blouse with dressed pants.

" She does look like a witch." Taehyung chuckled, ruffling Yejun's hair softly.

" So you think you can take care of my lovely nephew?"

•••

4 years of college.

2 years of interning.

And finally becoming Marketing Manager.

Joohyun could not believe she was sitting in Kim Taehyung's room, watching a three year old glare daggers at her. The little ponytail was starting to loosen as Yejun moved around, the mini cars barely fitting into the clutches of his doll hands.

Joohyun takes a moment to dig her fingers into the crevices of her palms. What did she do with this..child? What if he cried? What if he needed to use the bathroom? What if he just threw a tantrum on the floor?

The thought made the hair from the back of Joohyun's neck rise. She could deal with lost scripts, and any problems within her comfort of NEX for that matter.

" I wanna see hyung."

" No Yejun. Your hyung is busy." Joohyun says, shaking her head.

But this unpredictable time bomb that was clearly not fit for her mental nor physical capacity to handle.

" But I wanna see hyungggg." Yejun whines,

" Sorry Yejun but-"

" Let's play hide and seek." Yejun says, a frown visible on his face. Joohyun scrunches her eyebrows and turns to see the boy standing in front with his arms folded.

" And if we play, you can't say you want to see hyung, alright? "

" Okay." Yejun nods.

" You have to close your eyes and count to 10."

" Okay." Joohyun nods, walking iver to Taehyung's desk and turning around.

" Ten."

" Nine."

"Eight."

Joohyun smiles proudly as she starts counting.

" Seven."

" Six."

" Five."

" Four."

" Three."

" Two."

" One."

" Ready or not here I come." Joohyun unclasp her hands from her eyes and turns to see the room, lacking one small three year old boy. Joohyun looks around, shuffling through cars and checking every corner.

" Yejun? " Joohyun calls, before her eyes widen once she sees the door of Taehyung's office, left widen open.

Yejun's escaped.
