come to my house /\ taekook ✔

《💝》i figured it out

You see,, I kept wondering what to get Jungkook. "Maybe a watch", "maybe a belt", "maybe some clothes" I thought.

Then I had to slap myself because he's homeless for heaven's sake, Kim Taehyung you're so dumb. What would he do with a belt? Put it for sale? Or clothes. Where would he put his clothes? The only things he has are my coat, the clothes he's wearing and that thin blanket.

Maybe I should put him in a motel...no, then I would stop seeing him.. That sounds awfully selfish but I still want to see him often and help him at the same time. There had to be a way to make it possible.

And then I realized.

I. Am. A. Genius.

If I want to see him every day but at the same time make him happy and get him a place to live... I'll ask him to move in with me! Kim Taehyung you're amazing. My mind!

Now, I might be moving too fast...Okay I definitely am moving too fast,, so I thought I should wait a little more.

\/ 2 weeks later \/

The next two weeks passed by painfully slow by the way. But TODAY....well TOMORROW was going to be THE day.

"Kim Taehyung are you seriously going to ask a homeless man to live in the same house with you for free?" Jin whisper-shouted. We were at work.

"I mean yeah-"

"You don't know anything about him and he doesn't know anything about you! What if he'll think you're some kidnapper trying to lure him-"

"Okay stop! First of all-" I raised one finger. "I know he's 22 years old and has been homeless since he got kicked out by his parents because of some reason he didn't want to say. Second-" I raised a second finger making a peace sign "He knows my name, my age, my workplace and knows that I'm excellent at cooking." I said proudly and raised the peace sign up. "Peace, Jin!"

"wait you give him homemade food?" he asked in disbelief. "You don't give anyone food made by you!"

"Yea I make him pancakes and other things sometimes." I said smiling and thinking about his smile when he first tasted my pancakes. He was so happy, he even cried a little, which made me feel quite sad.

"...what if I was homeless?"

"what if you were homeless?"

"would you ask me to move in with you?"

"No. I would bring Namjoon and he would ask you to move in with him." I said and smirked seeing Jin blush. But honestly thinking about it, yes I would. I hope I don't make a habit of asking homeless people to live with me.

"Alright but that Jungkook guy won't move in with you for free Tae, you know that"

"Why not? I can give him anything he wants.." I pouted. Well, almost anything. Depends on what he'd ask. But who would turn down such an offer? Especially with these circumstances.

"Everyone has this way of thinking, you know? He'll feel bad if he gets all that for free. Like food, a place to live, nothing to pay or work for. It'll make him feel like a burden." before I said anything he added "And before you say that he would never be a burden to you, that doesn't solve anything." and with that he left my office.

Oh...

So I can't get him to move in with me if he won't be able to do something to pay for it. Maybe an easy part-time job or something. Or maybe I should hire him to do some chores.. I've never thought about it but can someone hire a person to breathe around them and pay them-

Be rational, Taehyung. Right.

I got off work a little late and when I gave Jungkook my lunchbox I also sat next to him because I was tired. I did this before. The first time when I sat next to him, on the ground, he kept saying that I'm embarrassing myself sitting next to a homeless person and eating a sandwich. He got used to it after I did that more.

Today he was worried. I gave him my lunchbox but he kept staring at me. His eyes were SCANNING me. I started overthinking that maybe I look ugly or I have something on my face when he just-

"I was worried about you. It's the first time you're leaving late." he said but then looked away and continued. "I-I mean it's not like you should uh give me an explanation..I'm not someone important" his smile faded while saying that and he stopped eating.

The streetlight shone on his face and made it shine. I was mesmerized by the art in front of me for a moment before I processed what he said. I pulled him in a tight hug and whispered:

"You are very important Kook. I might seem like a creep for saying this but you are really important." I pulled back and our faces were a few inches apart. "I'm sorry I made you worry. I'll make sure it won't happen again." I smiled and pinched his cheek before pulling back and finishing my sandwich.

He didn't say anything more and neither did I. It was a comfortable silence. I think we stood there like that for more than half an hour. I finally stood up about to go.

"Oh before I forget. What's your favorite color?" I asked.

"Purple" he said and looked confused.

"Mine's green. Then, I'll see you tomorrow"

"I'm not going anywhere" he said and we both chuckled.

I guess I figured it out, Jimin. He won't leave.

Tomorrow was going to be Saturday, so it would be just the perfect day to ask him to move in with me. But until then, I had to think of something I could hire him to do. He most likely didn't know how to cook. Maybe cleaning around the house or something.

When I got home I went to clean the guest room which was right in front of my room. There wasn't much to clean. It was just full of white so I changed the bed sheets with some dark blue ones and the curtains with some of the same color as the bed sheets. That was the closest color to purple that I had. I just hope he'll accept all of this, job or not.
