At The Cafe...
"So...?" Taehyung looks at Jimin not knowing how to respond to that if it was before, he would have advised him but now he really isn't in a state to do so cause his life is a mess itself now.
"Sorry, Tae...I am rambling randomly about anything with you cause I don't know with whom I should talk about this & you are my only friend," Jimin says as he notices that Taehyung is being awkward with him.
"It's fine...I just, I am not in my right mind, Jimin. I don't know what to do myself that's why I couldn't be much of a help to you right now" he speaks looking in grief.
"Leave about me, what's bothering you, Tae? Tell me, If I could be of any help" he asks placing his hand on Taehyung's hand slightly squeezing it.
>>>Where should I start, Jimin? Everything is bothering me & you can't help me at all...
Taehyung doesn't answer seeing that Jimin initiates, "Tae, please tell me. I will do anything for you or you still didn't forgive me?" Jimin asks.
"No, it's not like that, it's just..."
"Tae, if you don't tell me what's bothering you I will think you haven't forgiven me yet."
Taehyung sighs, "You know I lost my job, right? Even though my aunt & uncle are staying put for now because of IU Noona's warning, it won't last long & I can't depend on Noona or Yoongi hyung all the time. I have to earn money to buy medicines for my mother but after Baekhyun's father fired me, no one is ready to give me a job. I don't have enough education to look for a job in companies, all I know is how to teach some basic music & housework..."
"Tae, if money is the problem you know I can solve it for you."
>>>If I take a single dime from you Jimin, your brother would bury me alive the next sec...
"You know Jimin, I don't depend on anyone for money and I will never take money from you nor others. I will earn it myself rightfully, even though I am poor I do have my self-esteem."
>>>I know Tae, you are such a pure soul who never covets anyone's money. I wish I can show this side of you to my Hyung so that he will understand you better...
Jimin thinks for a moment & suddenly he gets the idea, "Tae, how about you work in my uncle's mansion?"
"Your uncle's mansion?" Taehyung shows a question mark on his face.
"Just today morning Jungkook, my uncle's son, he fired the caretaker of Krystal" Jimin explains.
"By Krystal do you mean...?" he hesitates to ask.
"Yes, my uncle's daughter who is born crippled" Jimin sighs & adds, "If you become Krystal's caretaker then it will be so good Tae cause we can't trust just anyone with her. She is just a pitiful child, and I know you are good with kids."
Taehyung thinks for a moment, "It's all good but Mr.Hades...what if he doesn't want me to get close to your family members? He hates me so much..." he looks down sadly.
>>>Mr. Hades hates me so much that I know he will never want to see my face again and the contract...
Taehyung clenches his fists tightly trying not to cry in front of Jimin, "My Hyung? He hardly has time to come home. He rarely visits Uncle's mansion so don't worry Tae & I also explained to him that I don't love you anymore, so probably he won't say anything about you being Krystal's caretaker" Jimin elucidates.
>>>So, now that Mr.Hades knows that Jimin doesn't love me...then what about the contract? What about the night we s-spent t-together?
>>>Will it mean nothing to him? Will he throw me out of his life just like that...maybe it's just a one-night stand for him...it doesn't matter to him...but w-what about me...?
Taehyung smiles bitterly.
>>>Why is my heart a-aching? Did you think that the marriage is real? It's fake...to him it's just a contract to keep his brother safe from me... a gold digger in his view then is it all over...? Why is my chest feeling heavy?
>>>No, no! Tae, stop it...you already know you'll never get to experience anything happy in this life, so why are you disappointed again? You are so pathetic Tae...pathetic,
"Tae? TAE?" Jimin calls as he isn't answering his calls & is in a daze.
"Ah, Jimin..." Taehyung replies trying not to show his sadness in front of his friend.
"So, what do you think? I wish you to be Krystal's caretaker. She is a sweet girl & you can also teach her music. She loves music & is on her phone these days seeing some Kpop group's songs...ah, she said some name...maybe Bangtan? Anyway, she will be very happy if you meet her."
"Okay, then...when should I start?" Taehyung accepts the job offer as it seems pretty good & he also loves kids so much.
"Yay! So, you agreed? We can go now to ask uncle, the sooner the better," Jimin smiles excitedly.
"Okay," Taehyung agrees.
Taehyung & Jimin leave for Jeon's mansion in the car.
At The Jeon's Mansion...
Si-Hyuk & Krystal are sitting on the couch in the living room when Jimin arrives there along with Taehyung.
"Uncle..." Jimin calls.
"Yes, Jimin" Si-Hyuk looks at Jimin & then at Taehyung with a confused look.
"This is my friend, he needs a job urgently so I brought him to you..." Jimin explains introducing Taehyung to his uncle.
"Job...you know there aren't any vacancies in the company right now-" before Si-Hyuk could finish Jimin cuts him off & speaks,
"No, uncle. Not in the company, he will take care of Krystal" Jimin elucidates.
"He is applying for being a caretaker to Krystal?" Si-Hyuk frowns.
"Yes, uncle...he needs money for his mother's treatment" Jimin speaks.
"First of all you guys sit and tell me about why your friend the same age as yours is not going to any Uni & wants to be a caretaker," Si-Hyuk says as he points to the couch indicating them to sit.
Jimin & Taehyung sits on the couch, "Sir, I have only studied up to middle school & then I had to stop my studies due to financial problems. All I know is to do housework & a little bit of knowledge in music which my mother taught me. My mother's heart is weak & needs medication continuously. I am looking for a job that can pay me moderately so that I can take care of my mother."
Taehyung voices out, hearing that Si-Hyuk "You are hired..."
"Taehyung...sir," Taehyung says his name as Si-Hyuk looks at him.
"It's Taehyung but everyone calls him Tae or Taetae uncle" Jimin smiles.
"Um, some names sound good even when pronounced in different ways" Si-Hyuk comments.
"So, Tae from now on you will be the caretaker of Krystal & about the pay how about 50 thousand won?" Si-Hyuk asks.
"Sir, it's too little," Taehyung says hesitatingly,
"Alright, then 70 thousand won per day not even a single won more," Si-Hyuk says shocking Taehyung.
"What, sir? Per day?" Taehyung eyes widen.
>>>I thought 50 thousand won per month...it's per...per DAY????
(A/N:- 50 thousand won equals nearly 3000 rupees & 70 thousand won equals nearly 5000 rupees, and Si-hyuk says it's just per day that means it's nearly 1 lakh 50 thousand per month...and I don't know about other currencies but it's a fairly high amount for a caretaker).
"Sir, it's so high...I thought it's per month..." Taehyung says looking at a loss of words blinking his eyes perplexed.
Jimin, Si-Hyuk & Krystal looks at each other smiling at Taehyung's cuteness, "Appa! I have decided this cute Oppa will be my caretaker, if Oppa doesn't like the pay scale, you increase it" Krystal declares.
"Alright, then I will increase it-" Si-Hyuk is about to say the number when Taehyung stops him, getting up looking flustered.
"Sir, no! The amount is good enough...no it's higher than I can imagine. I-I will feel burdened if you increase it any further, I don't mind if you decrease it..."
Si-Hyuk chuckles, "Alright, but you know pay is high for a reason-"before Si-Hyuk could finish his sentence a loud sound is heard from upstairs.
All of them look up only to see an angry Jungkook standing on the stairs, "What happened again, Jungkook?" Si-Hyuk asks.
"What happened? Where the hell did the servants go? Where is my banana milk? Even servants are looking down upon me, fire them all!" Jungkook yells getting angry.
>>>Today, I am gonna stir up trouble again. I don't care about food but banana milk is a must how can they not even give me that? I was staying silent & they behave like I don't even exist,
>>>Today, I will show them how much of a devil I am so that they will remember I am still alive in the corner of this big mansion...
"Byung ho, Deok-su, Man-seok! Where the hell are you?" Si-Hyuk calls the servants furiously.
"Master, what happened?" The servants ask as soon as they arrive.
"Why didn't you give Jungkook his drink? You know he will throw a tantrum and still, you guys are careless" Si-Hyuk scolds the servants.
>>>Tantrum, huh? Nice father, at least you know that about your bad son.
"Master, that the kitchen keys are missing we are searching for them..." one of the servants says.
"What?" Si-Hyuk frowns.
"Ain't the keys are with my little sister? She loves to manage the mansion at such a young age without studying" Jungkook mocks getting down the stairs.
"No, Oppa it's not like that-" Krystal is about to say but Jungkook cuts her off.
"Stop it, little sister I don't wanna hear your excuses early in the morning, give the damn keys to the servants so that they'll bring my banana milk or else you will see many things breaking in this mansion" Jungkook threatens glaring at his sister.
Krystal looks scared as her tears flow to her cheeks, "Jungkook, is that how you talk with your sister?" Jimin intervenes.
Jungkook looks at Jimin & then rolls his eyes, "Don't you have a home, Hyung? Why are you always in my mansion interfering with our family affairs?" he scoffs.
"JUNGKOOK!" Si-Hyuk yells but Jungkook ignores him & stubbornly says, "I want my banana milk, right now!"
"Just break that damn door & throw his drink on his face. I want to live peacefully in this mansion" Si-Hyuk shouts.
The servants are about to go & do as Si-Hyuk said when Taehyung sees the keys stuck in one of the wheels of Krystal's wheel-chair, "Sir, just wait" Taehyung speaks & takes out the keys.
"Are these the keys you are looking for?" Taehyung asks showing them.
"Yes, they are," Jungkook says taking the keys & just then notices Taehyung, "And who are you?" he asks.
"I am newly appointed caretaker of Krystal" Taehyung answers.
"Caretaker? At this age?" Jungkook frowns leaning forward close to Taehyung's face.
Taehyung nods awkwardly, "Oh, how pitiable, anyway congratulations I approve of you, as soon as you came you got the keys & solved the problem in secs," Jungkook says.
"We have to be patient for anything," Taehyung speaks but Jungkook rolls his eyes & throws the keys on the ground at the servants.
"Bring my banana milk to my room!" he then runs upstairs not even looking back.
Jimin tightens his fist looking at Jungkook who is going upstairs.
>>>How spoiled? I need to teach him a lesson so that he will behave!
"Now, you might have gotten the idea, Tae...why I am paying you high cause along with Krystal I hope you will also take care of my son, it'll be difficult but look out for him occasionally," Si-Hyuk says sighing.
"I understand, Sir! I will do my best" Taehyung assures.
"You can go chat with Krystal. I have some work to do, good luck," Si-Hyuk says patting Taehyung's shoulder.
Taehyung nods, "Oppa, let's go to my room. I have so much to talk with you," Krystal says excitedly. He smiles & pushes the wheelchair to her room.
"Uncle, you can go to the office. I have something to talk with Jungkook about the university as it'll start soon," Jimin says.
"Alright, please take care of him in the uni Jimin. I don't want to hear any complaints as I listened in his high school, his principal was ready to detain him as he even bullied his classmates. I don't want him to repeat the same mistakes. I don't know where had it gone wrong, the kid used to be so good at studies but now he..." Si-Hyuk sighs.
"Don't worry, Uncle. I will have a GOOD TALK with him," Jimin says smiling but as soon as he heard Jungkook used to bully, Jimin's anger raises to its peak.
Si-hyuk nods & leaves for the office while Jimin goes upstairs...
