[3] i'm straight.

After changing into his new uniform, he took a quick glance at himself in the mirror on his locker. 'Too formal' was the first word that popped up in his mind.

"Gotta get used to this look..." Taehyung said to no one in particular.

He straightened his shirt and took a deep breath. Before he could say more 'encouraging' words to himself, Bambam walked in along with two others, who Taehyung didn't bother to remember.

"Hey new boy... You look good." Bambam spoke out leaving Taehyung shocked.

"You wanna hang out with us tomorrow?? It's a Sunday so the shop's closed. Besides, you got lots of catching up to do."

As much as Taehyung wanted to say yes, he couldn't.

He had a lot assignments to complete from the university. And after that he was supposed to go out with Jimin for a late night dinner and movie.

Since they were both low on money, they could only afford such expensive dinners once a year.

So Taehyung couldn't even imagine backing out from it, even if it meant losing the chance to bond with his new co-workers / soon-to-be friends.

"Uh no, I'm busy tomorrow... Got loads of shit to finish from college. But um... Thank you for the invite. Maybe later?" Taehyung said, flashing a smile that would make anyone go weak in the knees.

"Oh shit. 'Kay, definitely later." Bambam winked at Taehyung and went to his locker along with the other two, not noticing a red-faced Taehyung standing right there.

I'm straight I'm straight. I'm straight.

Taehyung kept on repeating those words in his mind, as if he was not supposed to forget. Before things could get more messier, he got out of the staff room.

It was already 9:45 am and the shop had opened.

There were not much people, just a few old rich ladies and a young couple.

Taehyung saw Jennie 'fake-smiling' at a joke one of the ladies just said.

"That's you in 2 weeks." Yoongi said as he walked past Taehyung, obviously noticing the disgust on the latter's face.

"Nope. Never. By the way... Which section am I supposed to stay at?"

"Ahh I didn't tell you? You're in men's underwear section." Yoongi said in a calm tone as if there was nothing wrong with it.

"What?! No no no... Really??" Taehyung said, visibly panicking.

"No, I'm kidding. But. Did I just sense gay panic?"

Before Taehyung could throws hands at the older, a young man entered the showroom, clad in a white t-shirt, topped off with a black leather jacket and black jeans that complimented his sculpted thighs. (A/n: me rn = 👀🙂👀🙂👀)

"Who. is. that. Man.?" Taehyung asked ignoring the smirk on Yoongi's face.

"You don't know him? He's Mr. Jeon Sunghoon's son... Jeon Jungkook. One of our richest customers... Also one of the biggest jerks." Yoongi blurted out, the last part leaving a questionable look on Taehyung's face.

"Uhh- Jerk?"

"Yep. He comes here like once or twice a month to buy stuff. And he is sooo fucking rude to everybody. Like, last time he got angry at Rose and she ended up crying."

"Why? What'd she do?" Taehyung was more eager than ever now.

"She just got confused with the sections and gave him the wrong directions. And he ended up in the 'ladies undergarments' section..."

"Wha..?? That's why he got mad at Rose? Ugh."

Taehyung had noticed how Rose tensed up a bit when Jungkook came in. But he had expected the reason behind it to be something totally different.

"Oh my god, uhhhh, Taehyung... Jungkook's going towards your section... first day, is fucked up." Yoongi said, almost feeling pity for his cousin's friend.

'Good luck' were the last words Taehyung heard from the older's mouth.

When he turned around, Yoongi was not there anymore. Now everything was in his own hands.

Honestly he wanted to yeet himself out of there. But that was not really an option now, was it? He really needed the money.

Everything's gonna be alright.

It's just some rich dude called Junglebook after all.
