It was the next day, Hoseok and Taehyung had finished their course for the day and were walking to the cafe. 

"Tae, got everything you need?" 

"Yep, lets go!" 

The walk to the cafe was quick as they lost themselves in their talk, laughing loudly about the weird and funny way the teacher tripped in front of everyone. Hoseok imitating him made taehyung laugh even more since his hyung made it look 10 times funnier. Hoseok admired how the younger looked so happy laughing at him. He looked like he was glowing and hoseok made sure he was always like that. Its really rare to see taehyung sad so when he was sad hoseok made sure to always be there and protect him from people who dared to make the younger sad. 

Hoseok remembers the last time taehyung was sad, it was one of the worst day of his life. He frowns as he remembers how him and namjoon wrapped the younger in their embrace as the younger couldn't keep the tears in and burst, letting all his emotion go. He remembers how tae's smile dropped the moment he said all three of his best friends opened the arms wide for him to run into and he did just that and cried. Namjoon was holding his tears in while the other two joined him and cried. 

Two important people in all of their lives had left the world, leaving young taehyung all alone in the world with only his brother and his three best friends to look after him. That was the first time the trio had seen the younger not be his bubbly and annoying cute self and they hated every moment of it. 

They missed the adorable innocent tae, the one who would ask weird questions that annoyed namjoon because he couldn't find the answer to them (he secretly enjoyed seeing the younger, tightly holding a teaddy bear in his arms, come up to him with sparkling eyes and ask him a question), the same tae who would pout and have teary eyes every time he hurt himself and run up to his parents, the same tae who jump in joy when his parents will give him candy to make him happy after he hurt himself. Hoseok and Namjoon made a promise after that incident that they would never let anything or anyone hurt him or each other again.

"Hyung?....Hyung??...HYUNG?!" Tae yelled at him, making hoseok jump and look at taehyung like a deer caught in headlight. 

"wh-wh-what? What's wrong?"

"hyung i have been calling your name and you wouldn't respond! are you ok hyung? Is something bothering you?" Taehyung was worried, he hasn't seen hoseok like this before and it honestly scared him. If anything was troubling either of them, they would tell each other, there was no secret between them so taehyung was scared and worried his hyung was hiding something from him. 

"Oh it was nothing tae, i was just thinking about how i was gonna survive with you going to work with me from now on. There will be a lot of fixing to do from now on!!" Hoseok bust in laughter after he saw taehyung giving him a glare and punch him on the arm. 

"hyung, don't say that. I know i was bad at cooking but you will be shocked once you try my cooking. I took classes so now you don't have to watch me by the door with a fire extinguisher in your hand anymore!!" Tae replies with a big grin on his face, proud to tell his hyung that he can cook now. Hoseok nervously laughs at his cute dongsaeng, 

"I'll pass on the tasting, why don't you show joonie hyung? After all it has been awhile since he has tasted your cooking?" He laughs at the memory of when namjoon tasted taehyung's cooking and immediately ran to the sink to puke the food back out, his face was hysterical.

Before taehyung can reply they realised they were already in front of the staff entry. Taehyung was really nervous  and started fiddling with his hands, hoseok saw this and asked what's wrong, 

"Hyung, I'm nervous and scared. What if he doesn't like me? What if i'm too clumsy? What if i can't do the work? What if he thinks i'm annoying or-" he was cut off when hoseok held a finger to his lips to prevent him from rambling on and on. 

"woah, calm down tae. Your making my head spin. Don't worry about it, Jin hyung is the nicest person you would have ever met. He's really excited to meet you, he's been wanting to meet you for awhile now so don't be scared, he won't hurt you plus he wouldn't have agreed to interview you if he hated you"

"Great, now that's making me more nervous, what if he is expecting a lot from me and he is disappointed when he sees how bad I cook or how clumsy I am?" Tae replied sadly looking down. Taehyung doesn't like disappointing people with the things he does and he specially hates it if someone is mad at him. He doesn't like people yelling or crying, it breaks his heart.

Hoseok mentally curses at himself for making taehyung sad, he knows how sensitive taehyung is. He turns around completely so he's facing his bestie and cups his face. He looks straight at him in they eye and says,

"I'm sorry but trust me, jin hyung is one of nicest and caring people I know and he wouldn't hurt, hate or judge you. He already knows how innocent, caring and bubbly you are and how you can be clumsy sometimes so don't worry. He also knows you can't cook well so he decided he would see how well you do and help you with all the things you need more practise on so again don't worry. Everything will be ok, trust me. You trust me right?" He took a deep breath after finishing and looked at taehyung again waiting for a reply which he gained a sigh and a nod before taehyung widen his eyes in realization and looked at him and said,

"Hyung how does he know about me? Is he a stalker? Did he stalk me? Is he a secretly a gang leader who wants to hurt me?" Taehyung was scared and you could see it in his eyes. He doesn't want to think about the horrible memory that's going through his mind right now.

"No tae, he's not a gangster. I told you he's one of the nicest people I know and he wouldn't hurt you in the slightest bit so don't worry. Joonie wouldn't date someone who would hurt you in the slightest bit plus do you remember what happened to those seniors who called you weird and tried to hurt you 11 years ago?"Taehyung shivered as the memory that he was trying to forget ran through is mind. 

He remembers how the kids in the senior class bullied him, calling him weird, giving him a few kicks and punches and telling him to die. That was before Hoseok and Namjoon, who were looking for tae, came and sent the boys to the hospital. They were both angry when they saw taehyung on the ground trying to protect himself from the kicks and punches and crying while shouting "I'm sorry" over and over again but they were even more angry when they heard what they said to tae. 

Everyone in the school was afraid to hurt the boy or even talk bad about them as they were afraid of getting beaten and sent to the hospital. That day they took taehyung to the nurse and got him patched up and made a promise to him. 

"Do you remember what joonie and I promised you on that same day? 'Don't allow anyone to make you feel like you're not good enough tae, you're worth so much, don't let what they say effect you. Don't believe them when they say you should go kill yourself because people who bully you either see you as a threat or hate themselves or they want to be you or is jealous of something really valuable that you have. We promise that as your hyungs, brothers and best friends we will always protect you no matter what, nobody will ever hurt you again!" and that promise we still carry with us tae don't forget that. We won't let anyone hurt you or her ever!" Taehyung was grateful that he had such beautiful friends like them. He always felt safe when he was with them. He smiled and nodded.

"And it was actually Joonie hyung who told him about you. He was telling Jin hyung about his childhood when he mentioned a certain annoying but cute best friend of his and jin hyung was hyper to meet you and get to know you!!" Hoseok continued and grinned at him when he said 'annoying and cute' as he knew that would make taehyung annoyed.

"Hyun-"

"anyways I'm not planning on standing outside the whole day and not go to work. Come on lets go inside, jin hyung is dying to meet you!!"

Taehyung pouted when hoseok interrupted him but smiled anyways and followed him inside forgetting his nervousness. Hoseok quickly puts on his work clothes and an apron on top and walks to the door before he looks back at taehyung to assure him not to worry and opens the door.
