The young male pushed the door open, hearing the bell above it tingle as he stepped inside the building. His mood was way lighter now than it was the last time he was here. A smile now played on his lips and his faith levels had heightened too, now that they had the thing they needed to make this work.
The blonde man walking behind him stepped inside too and closed the door behind him, the bell tinkling once more before it went quiet again. He held a couple books in his arms, clutched tightly to his chest so he wouldn't accidentally dropped them and possibly ruin them.
"Okay so now all we need is a basket, right?" Taehyun asked as he jumped on top of the counter. He knew the older normally didn't want him to sit there, but right now he found it a different occasion than usual so he gave himself permission to do so.
Namjoon squinted his eyes and put the books down on the counter next to the brunette, opening the one on top of the stack and turning to the right page, shaking his head in the meantime. "I don't think it's that simple, honestly."
"Then what else do we need to do? We have what the book says is the most important." He said and looked down to his hands. The Opal laying in his palm shone under the lights of the shop, the colours reflecting and looked back up to the older. Namjoon sighed and showed him the page of the book. "It is the most important thing we need, yes, but it's not all we need." He said and Taehyun looked over the page.
"We only need wood, we can get our hands on that easily." He said, not understanding what the big deal was. Namjoon sighed and looked up at him from his place still on the ground. "I know, but how were you planning on making that basket? I mean I'm not good in making stuff out of wood and doubt you can make a basket like the one I gave you," He said. "We'll need someone to make it for us."
Taehyun made an 'ooh' sound at the words, finally understanding and realising that only having wood may not be everything they needed. He hadn't realised they also needed to actually make the basket, and the older was right about him not being able to handle his way with wood all that well.
"So what do we do now?" He asked, blinking twice. Namjoon chuckled and patted his knee a couple times. "We go buy some wood, of course." He smiled, closing the small book and taking the whole stack from the counter, walking around it and towards the back of the shop. Taehyun frowned, finding the solution a bit of too easy for the matter. He jumped off the counter and followed the taller. "Do you think that'll work?"
He rounded the corner and leant against the wall as he watched Namjoon put the books away someplace safe, fetching a big cloth from the planks behind him and pulling it over the books to keep them from getting all dusty again. He turned around and shrugged, a soft smile still playing on his lips. "It's worth a shot, right? I mean I don't know but I don't think you have any better ideas, do you?"
Taehyun inhaled, sighing afterwards and shaking his head. "Not really.."
"Exactly!" The older said, clapping his hands together and mentioning for him to walk back to the front of the shop. "So let's get going!"
Taehyun couldn't help but smile as well, some of the positive energy the older seemed to have rubbing off on him. He walked back up the stairs, rounding the counter again but this time leaning against it instead of sitting on top of it. He watched as Namjoon quickly darted behind the counter and fetched his keys, twirling them around on his finger, making the little keychain on it tingle. "Ready?"
The brunette nodded and smiled. "Always." He said as the older rounded the counter again and together they walked to the car. When they got in Namjoon made sure they were both strapped in the seatbelts and afterwards he started the engine and took off. He drove carefully but fast, knowing the younger would want to get everything done as soon as possible. Taehyun was grateful for that, the older was always taking care of him in those small thoughtful things.
