Blood Sweat & Tears: A Yoonmin Story

Before The Beginning

I stood in my station at Cindy's Hair, a client in the seat as I was trimming her long blonde hair, she was going on and on about her boyfriend being a dick "Mhm" I would hum occasionally when she'd say something like "Right?" or "Y'know what I mean?" I didn't much care for gossip while I was working, now my station partner did, his name was SeokJin or Jin for short, he loved to gossip and talk with the clients, there were times he even butted in on what my client was saying, which I didn't mind, less talking for me

Don't get me wrong, when the conversation is actually interesting I'd love to chat with a client, but in this case... As for Seokjin, he's pretty funny and we hang out on breaks sometimes but I'd say we consider each other work friends only

I walked out the back door to the small table that was set up out there, I was on break and was going to enjoy my sandwich when my phone started to ring "Ugh..." I pulled it out of my pocket and saw it was my friend, Taehyung "Hello?" I answered "Jimin? I have a baby" I choked on the bite of sandwich I had just taken and stood up abruptly, dropping my sandwich on the ground "What?!" I couldn't have heard him correctly, right?! "I said; I have a baby, come over here will ya?" I marched back into the beauty shop and went to tell Seokjin to cover for me "This better be a game Taehyung!" I hung up the phone and hurried to my station "Seokjin! I have an emergency, cover for me?" Seokjin looked over at me and nodded "Sure, go take care of your emergency!" Seokjin waved me off, I bowed and quickly took off running to my car, well, I say it's mine but really it's my mom's car...

I drove over to Taehyung's apartment and bailed out of the car, trecking up the stairs and to his door, knocking roughly "Taehyung-ah!" I continued to pound on the door till Taehyung finally opened it "Jimin, there you are!" I shoved Taehyung aside and went into the apartment "Where's the..." I stopped in my tracks as I cleared the coffee table there was a baby on the floor with some blocks "Taehyung...there's a baby on your floor" I pointed to the child, Taehyung stood next to me and nodded "Mhm, there sure is" I turned to Taehyung and grabbed his shirt, shaking him "Taehyung! There's a baby on your floor!!" I shook him violently but since I was so much shorter than him I was barely shaking him "Jimin, we've done talked about this" Taehyung rolled his eyes "Tell me why there is a baby on your floor Taehyung..." I let him go and massaged the bridge of my nose

"Well...I was going into Nam's Cafe to see Namjoon and talk to him about performing there and on the way inside a boy comes rushing out and bumps my shoulder, the boy was cute so I asked Namjoon about him" Taehyung paused to breathe "And?" I urged him to continue "Namjoon said his name is Jungkook and he's a single father in high school and works as a waiter there at Nam's Cafe and also works as a stalk boy at CHO'S GROCERIES" I nodded "And? That doesn't explain the child!" I pointed back to the baby "Right! Well after hearing about Jungkook being a high school student with a baby I asked Namjoon if he knew where the baby was, he said the baby, which is named Minho by the way, was at Happy Tots Daycare" I stared at Taehyung, blinking with irritation "You did not" I started but Taehyung was already talking again "So I thought I should help Jungkook out and went to Happy Tots to get Minho, and viola here he is" Taehyung pointed to Minho and smiled

"Dear God, you are an idiot!" Before I could smack Taehyung upside the head Minho started to whine, Taehyung rushed over to him "What's wrong little guy?" I watched Taehyung as he tried to get Minho interested in the blocks again but Minho didn't want them, I sighed and went to the kitchen, getting pots and pans and bringing them to Minho "Here, let him play with these, I loved these as a child" Taehyung took the pots and pans and set them down for Minho to play with, Minho seemed content now

I looked back to Taehyung "You stole a baby Taehyung! A Baby!" I shouted, the realization coming back to me of why this child was here "I didn't steal the baby, calm down" Taehyung rolled his eyes, acting as if this wasn't a major crime "Then why is there a baby here that isn't yours?" I crossed my arms, catching Taehyung off guard before Taehyung could even try to answer there was banging from the front door "Hey! Open this door! Don't make me call the police!!" The banging continued, Taehyung stood up off the floor and headed to the door
