Ch5 Suga's Bakery

"How are you baby Koo?" Jimin asked him next morning.
"I am fine"
Jungkook felt warm inside that the baby reapers are concerned for him.
"Where is Jinnie hyung? He is gone by the time I woke up"
"Baby Jin went into town" Hobi said.
"We can go out of dorms?"
"Yes we can. We can even live outside if we want. But no baby reaper would do that. We all stick together cause we are low on spirit energy. In numbers we find our strength," hobi smiled at him.

Jimin clung to Jungkook's arm.
"I am scared to go out too, but I go to the bakery in front. I can take you there if you want" Jimin crinkled his eyes with a smile.
"Okay. But I don't have any money."
"We all get money from Master V. It will be in your lockerbox. Your desk will have the key" Jimin went and took out the key from his cupboard.
"Master V, fills the locker box with money for us to use. He is like our caretaker" Jimin explained.
They went to the locker room where each baby reaper has a big locker. Jimin helped Jungkook open it. He took out a cloth bag with coins.
"What are these?" he asked looking at the casino like chips.
"It's money here, the coins are made of energy which is the only thing everybody needs here"
"How do you use it?"
"You rub it in your hands and your body absorbs the energy" he explained.
"Master V must be really powerful."
"Yes he is. After all he collects most of the spirit energy"
"Can we collect it too?"
"Yes but I don't know how yet. It gets collected in your scythe after you strike a spirit"
"Ohh okay"

"Be careful Baby Jimin and Baby Koo" hobi waved for them.
Jungkook felt excited to go out. Jimin giggled as he clung to Jungkook. They both crossed the big road and went to Suga's bakery.
"Aww, the little baby Jimin is here" the shop owner beamed.
"And he brought a little new baby reaper too. Is he your friend?"
"Yes!" Jimin beamed.
"Jungkook this is Chef Suga, but we call him Yoongi. Hyung, this is Baby Koo"
"Helloo baby" he shook Jungkook's hand delicately.
"Hiee"
"I am the best at baking here. What do you need?" he showed them the seats.
"I want lemon cake!" Jimin raised his hand.
"How about you Baby koo?"
"Uhh I strawberry one" he smiled.
"Alright, lemon for Jimin and strawberry for ..ehm..Koo" he nodded and went into the kitchen.
Jimin spoke with Jungkook, but Jungkook could sense Jimin's eyes are elsewhere. He looked at Chef Suga working around the bakery.
They got their cake after a couple of minutes.
"Here's two chocolate chip cookies on me", Jungkook and Jimin looked at eachother with wide eyes.
"Thank you!!" Jungkook exclaimed as the Chef moved onto other customers. Jimin ate the cake messily. Jungkook laughed and he bit into the large cake making a mess. Both of them laughed at each other.
"Baby Chimy, I have some cookies made for other baby reapers, please come and collect!!", Chef suga called him inside the kitchen.
Jimin blushed and Jungkook smiled at him.
"Ohh baby chiimmyy..huh?" Jungkook teased Jimin and Jimin blushed more.
"I-I-I'll be right back" Jimin bit his lip going into the kitchen.
Jungkook smiled as he took the cookie to eat.
"Waittt.. don't eat meee"
Jungkook stopped abruptly. He looked at the cookie and looked around confused.
"Hiee Jungkook"
The cookie talked..it's talking..
Jungkook panicked leaving the cookie.
"I know Yugyeom.." the cookie whispered.
Jungkook widened his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I am shooky"
Jimin and Yoongi came out of the kitchen.
"Shh", Jungkook grabbed the cookie and put it in his pocket.
Jimin brought a bag full of cookies, a big smile on his face.
"Yoongi hyung is..is..uhm he gave cookies for us all..shall we go?" he asked shyly.
Jungkook nodded helping Jimin with the bags.
"Wait" Jimin called.
"I have to give a hug to hyung and thank him".
"Uhmm sure" Jungkook nodded smiling.
"Thank you"
Jimin went and hugged him. He gave him a kiss on the cheek too.
Jungkook would have teased him, but he felt nervous because there is a talking cookie in his pocket.
He dragged Jimin away as Jimin waved to Yoongi hyung.
"Bye hyung!"
They went back to the dorm. There is small closet in the dorms. Jungkook slowly slipped unnoticed and went to it. Jungkook got up the ladder and went into the dark attic in the top.
He took out the cookie in his pocket.
"Cookie?"
"I'm shooky not cookie" the cookie shrieked at him.
"Shhh..shh" Jungkook shushed it.
"Y-You mentioned Yugyeom..please tell me  how you know him?"
"I met him..he is my friend..I came here searching for you...he is scared.."
"Where is he?"
"He is in a dark place..he cries all the time saying he is scared..he never come out...so I decided to help him and find you for him"
Jungkook cried listening to the cookie.
"B-But but Yeoggi Hyung is alive.." he cried shutting his mouth.
"No his spirit is here..that's impossible"
"Let me know where he is.. please tell me.."
"Y-Yes I came to take you to him. But you have to do it carefully and in secret. You shouldn't tell anyone" shooky said,
"Especially the Grimm reaper" it whispered, " cuz you know..the Grimm will you know...reap"
"No no no I'll never let the reaper near Yeogi Hyung!!.."
"Alright then, here's the plan..I will take you to the scorch creek, but the creek has other powerful ghosts. You'll have to fight and send away the monster ghosts.
"What? But I don't know how....I am not strong enough"
"Then become strong. Know how to reap. You have to train and be prepared for half a day journey. I will stay in the attic till you'r ready"
"I'll train and come when I know how to reap. Do you need anything"
"Imps don't need anything. Now go. Fighting!"
"Fighting!" Jungkook showed shooky his little fist and went back to the dorm bed.
I'll save you Yeoggi hyung..
