"Would you like to work for me as my assistant for a couple of months?"

Jungkook choked on his milkshake when he heard the words. Tae panicked as the youngster in front of him started coughing furiously. He handed him some napkins. Jungkook took the napkins and wiped his mouth as he looked upon Tae.

"You want me to work for you? What? Why? You don't even know me? What if I'm a really shit person? How can you trust me?! I can't manage a CEO's life!!"

Tae chucked as Jk talked in a panicked way. "You really didn't think that I would just hire someone, did you? I've done my research Jungkook, you were an outstanding student both in middle and high school. Your college notes are great too. Except for English but we won't need that anyway."

Jk blushed when he realized Tae looked him up and saw his 3/100 mark on the English exam.

"You're a great student, you had so much potential but you chose music. Which is impressive, to be honest. Giving up everything to pursue your dream career. I support that."

"That's something I'll never be able to do" Tae whispered to himself and looked upon the still astounded Jungkook that had banana milkshake dripping from one side of his mouth. Tae took some napkins and wiped Jungkook's mouth. The boy was still shocked by everything that was happening so he couldn't find the time to react.

"You talked about how broke you were because your parents don't support your career choice too much is that correct?"

Jk nod "You remembered."

"It was one of the ... most enjoyable conversations I had so it's hard to forget actually." Tae sipped the last bits of his strawberry milkshake. "I want to support your decision. It requires guts, you know? Not everyone can do it."

"By everyone do you include yourself Taehyung?"

".....maybe. Who knows. Anyways do you want the job? It's really easy don't worry there's like a guide book and everything for the newbies. Yoongi-hyung will help too he looks...fond of you. "

"Um....I- Actually my finals a-"

"But they end in 2 weeks, right? You can start next month. You need some vacation time too, of course."

Jungkook was dumbfounded by how understanding Taehyung was towards him.

He knew he was struggling, so he wanted to help. He also wanted him to have some vacation time since the job was gonna be hard. Tae was...thinking. About Jungkook. It's not every day a big CEO thinks about you...scratch that it's not every day that someone thinks this sincerely and caringly about someone. Especially in the case of Jungkook, other than his friends, not even his family was this caring. It was flattering. It made Jungkook's little heart warm.

"So, what do you say?"

"....Deal."

After they talked for an hour about the work, Taehyung paid the bill and they got out of the cafe. It was getting dark. Tae turned to Jungkook who was looking up at the sky. The boy looked stunning. "I can drop you off at the dorms if you want, it's getting late."

Jungkook closed his eyes and let the wind mess his hair. "Hm, not it's fine the weather is really good for a walk."

Tae watched the beautiful boy for a couple more seconds and said: "Okay then, stay safe and good night Jungkook." The boy opened his eyes when he heard his name but Tae was already walking towards his car.

"Taehyung."

He turned towards the velvet voice that called his name.

"I thought we were gonna talk about another deal, not this. What about that one? What are we gonna do?"

Tae smiled softly. "We're gonna have a long time to think about it. Goodnight." and he kept walking towards his car.

Jungkook watched the car get smaller and smaller as he stood by the side of the road. He took his phone out. 

Jungkook chuckled at his friends' silliness. No matter how much they bullied and made fun of him, he loved them more than anything in his life. They were the ones that took care of him when his family left him alone because he chose not to listen to them. Of course, he knew there would be consequences of choosing a major that was not stable but never in a million years he thought his parents would kick him out without any money. He's grateful to have Jin in his life. When Jk made the decision to study music around 10th grade, his parents kicked him out. Jin was already taking care of Jungkook as his parents almost never cared but after the incident, Jin's parents took Jungkook to their home, gave him a place to sleep, clothes to wear and food to eat. He will always be grateful.

Jungkook realized his friends took care of him his whole life. When they were kids, Hoseok him and another boy were neighbors, they spent their whole childhood together before Hoseok had to move to Seoul for his father's business. Jungkook always ate the dinners at the Jung house. Hoseok and his mom would take Jungkook from home to school and bring him back to home. He went to every festival, every carnival, every traditional event with Hoseok's parents, not his own. Jungkook can't remember who the third boy was but all he can remember is, the trio did everything together. After Hoseok moved away, however, he was once again all alone. So he was overwhelmed when they reunited in the college.

In college, Jimin took care of him. The first night of Jk Jimin and Jin becoming dorm buddies, Jungkook got a high fever because he was soaked from the rain. Jimin stood beside him all night and took care of him while Jin went out to find a place that sold chicken soup at 12 am. After that little night, they became inseparable. The whole group became inseparable basically. 4J's to be exact.

It's been years since Jungkook last talked to his parents, but it was okay. They weren't his family. His family was right here, in the dorms, Jimin cheering over Hoseok and Jin who were playing Super Smash Bros aggressively.

"I'm home." Jk said, smiling from ear to ear, with a bag of ice cream on his hand.

Jungkook took a spoon full of minty ice cream and ate it all while nodding his head aggressively. "Yes like I said, I'm just gonna be his assistant."

Hoseok was licking his ice cream happily, not caring too much while Jin and Jimin were sitting with a bucket of ice cream in the middle of them, cookie dough flavor to be exact, listening Jk's story curiously.

Jimin took his spoon and played with the top of the ice cream that was starting to melt "You're gonna need fancy clothes." "You also need to know basic manners like eating like a human and walking straight." Jin said as he pushed Jimin's spoon and filled his own with ice cream.

"Haha, I'm not an animal okay?"

"Jungkook you got ice cream on your forehead."

"How the fuck-" he wiped his forehead with his shirt.

"See!! You should never do that! Especially with fancy expensive clothes!! I'm gonna faint!" Jimin said dramatically as he put one hand on his forehead, pretending like fainting.

Hoseok stopped eating his ice cream and looked seriously at Jk "They are right dude, you need to know your manners since you're gonna work with the fancy people. You're his assistant so you'll probably go to meetings, which can vary from a restaurant to a fancy ballroom type shit. You need to be prepared for all of them if you don't want to lose your job. Stop chewing your nails, stop wiping shit on your shirt and start walking straight with a confident look on your face. They'll eat you alive."

The whole group was shocked to see their sunshine being so serious about something other than dancing.

"Damn, Hoseok" Jungkook gulped. "How do you know all of these?"

"I watched all 7 episodes of Mad Men I know my shit." "And here we thought you were serious," Jin said as he hit Hoseok's forehead with the back of the spoon. Hoseok giggled "What? I'm being serious those things are usually true dude."

Jimin took the spoon out of his mouth "No matter how much I wanna say Hoseok is being stupid, he has a point. You gotta get more serious."

"I know, he said he will send me like a guidebook or something they give to newbies. I have a couple of weeks before the work starts so I'll just study that after the finals. Meh."

"When will you study to finals then?" Jin asked curiously. Jk can't afford to fail a year, they all know it.

"I'll start studying tomorrow" he yawned.

"Jungkook....our finals start tomorrow." Jimin said, shocked.

"WHAT?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME JIMIN OHMYGOD?!" he darted up from the bed, panicked and screaming.

"I THOUGHT YOU KNEW YOU DUMB FUCK! I STUDIED THE WHOLE DAY WHEN YOU MET UP WITH TAEHYUNG!"

"OKAY EVERYONE OUT I HAVE TO STUDY GOGOGOGOG" he grabbed Hoseok and Jin by their arm and dragged them out.

"Good luck Jk!" Hoseok said, obviously entertained by his friends panic attack. "Study well!!" Jin said. "Thanks, guys! See you in a couple of weeks!!" Jk yelled and closed the door on their face.

He turned to Jimin who was still eating the ice cream.

"Jimin, there's nowhere to run. You're gonna help me study."

"Oh for fuck's sake."
