Taeyong had never worked a day in his life. He didn't chose for this to happen, in fact when he was in college it was his dream to run his own music cafe, where people could write, play and listen to music whilst in the calm environment of a cafe. However, this idea went down the drain when on Halloween night at a college party, Taeyong met a man called Konyo, who got him pregnant on the first date.

Taeyong was able to finish the last few months of college and then moved out of his parents house, into a small apartment, welcoming his first child Rocco into the world. Konyo and Taeyong were a somewhat happy couple, until 2 years later when Taeyong found out he was pregnant again. That's when his world really started to fall apart. Konyo no longer wanted such a big responsibility, so he kicked Taeyong, Rocco and his unborn child out of the apartment and never spoke to them again.

This brings us back to the current day. Rocco is now 5 and Rico is 3. After being kicked out, Taeyong and his kids had no where to go. For the past 3 years the small family had been going from shelter to shelter, and food banks to stay alive. Taeyong had started a few jobs but lost them all nearly straight away when the manager found out he had brought his kids with him, unable to afford child care.

Today is Rocco's 5th birthday and as a treat Taeyong had saved up some money to take the boys to a cafe for dinner.

"Okay boys, what would you like?" Taeyong asked.

"Milkshake!" Said Rico. "Me too!" Said Rocco.

"How about you share one? They're quite big."

"No, me want my own. I'm big boy." Argued Rico. Taeyong being the kindhearted Father he was, agreed. It just meant that he wouldn't be eating tonight... again.

"And can we have food Dad? And cake for my birthday?" Asked Rocco.

"Of course you can." Replied Tae.

"Okay thanks Dad. Can I have the chicken nugget meal?"

"Yeah me too." Said Rico.

"Yeah sure, what cake do you both want?"

"Chocolate!" They both shouted excitedly.

"You two are so alike." Taeyong laughed. "Okay, you stay here and I'll go order."

Taeyong went to the counter and greeted the man there. He looked very young and handsome, Taeyong might have blushed a little bit. His name tag said 'Jaehyun.'

"Hi what can I get for you?" Said Jaehyun.

"Hi can I have 2 chicken nugget meals with milkshakes and 2 slices of chocolate cake please?"

"Of course, and what can I get for you?" He asked, noticing that Taeyong had only ordered for the 2 children he was with.

"Oh um, I'm okay thanks." Taeyong smiled, embarrassed.

"Okay, your total is £10.89" Said Jaehyun.

Taeyong started to panic, he didn't realise how much it would be. In the heat of the moment he said yes to everything his kids asked for without adding up the cost. He was 0.89p short.

"Um, actually could I only get one milkshake instead of two please?" Taeyong asked. He couldn't make eye contact with the other man. He felt so humiliated. 

"Sure." Jaehyun replied. "That'll be £9.30"

Taeyong handed him the money, all in change as most of it was pennies he had picked up off the floor. "Sorry about all the change." He said.
