Young Forever

SIX

jungkook is actually excited to work.

the reason as to why waking up early is not a problem with him. in fact, he's already dressed up and good to go.

but honestly speaking, it is way too early. it's just that he is nervous to be late and get fired once again, he's never letting go of this job.

with his high salary, he's now confident that just after a few months of saving up he could already go to university but he'll still keep the job.

after an hour of waiting, he already walked outside his house making sure that it is properly locked before finally going towards the botique he'll be working at.

when he arrived, atleast three employees are there and also the manager. all of them welcomed him sharing stories with one another already.

it's actually safe to say that they warm up to each other easily and it made jungkook really happy as he got closer with them that fast.

"oh, gosh! please clean up." the manager said in a rush.

she immediately rushed towards the glass door opening it by herself which made jungkook raised his brosws, what's with the sudden rush?

"good morning, mr. jung."

all of the employees respectfully bowed and jungkook did the same without actually knowing what's happening.

as he looked up, he squinted his eyes just to make sure.

jung seokjin, again.

seokjin rolled his eyes at the employees handing the manager his wallet to hold as he walked around the botique to search for new clothes.

he saw the new designs of their line and he likes most of it. unfortunately, it is only available in this store for now that's why he decided to come here.

"close the shop for me," seokjin coldy stared at the manager, "i hate sharing." he mumbled.

the manager slightly bowed at him before walking towards the glass door putting down the red velvet curtain and also putting up the close signage.

she took in a deep breathe biting the insides of her cheeks trying to get ready as she knows what was about to come if she said something wrong, she's most likely to get fired if the youngest jung is here.

she looked at seokjin and was relieved when she saw him too absored with the new clothes, it's a good thing that they decided to put it in the mannequin already or else he would get mad as he'll be having a hard time looking at the clothes.

the manager walked towards jungkook. she walked closer, "please assist mr. jung. i have some files to take care of. you have to do everything that he says, okay?" she said reminding the newly-employed man.

"ouch! gosh!"

the three employees including jungkook snapped their heads back towards seokjin's directipon, their stares landing on the broken glass on the floor while the young one is holding a bag.

the glass vase probably fell off as he was reachig for the bag that he's currently holding.

the two employees was about to come towards him but jungkook stopped them, "i'll take care of it, dont worry." he said letting out a small smile.

jungkook looked at the younger, which he only assumed the age of, their eyes met and seokjin immediately looked away and focused his gaze on the shattered glasses on the floor.

"who put that stupid vase over there?" seokjin asked, angrily.

jungkook shook his head in disbelief. oh! of course, this one wouldnt admit that it's his fault.

"what did you do?" jungkook asked.

seokjin's eyes widened in surprised pointing at himself "yah! are you saying it's my fault?"

the younger was about to say something snarky but stopped when jungkook reached out for his left hand. he caressed the back of it wiping the dtip of blood using his thumb, he pulled out his handkerchief inside his pocket wiping it clean once again.

"y.. yah!" seokjin said in a faint voice.

jungkook furrowed his brows looking at him, "you didnt even realize that you hurt yourself." he said, shaking his head a little.

seokjin bit the insides of his cheeks staring intently at the person who is just supposed to assist him.

damn, this is the same man that he fired. since when did he get this hot and handsome?

the expensive all black suit that he's wearing for today as his uniform looks better than his previous one. though, seokjin bet that he'll look good with anything on him.

"you're jungkook, right?" seokjin asked trying to sound unbothered with the man still examining his hand.

jungkook then wiped the cut once again before letting go of his hands. he looked up and let out a small smile at seokjin.

"yeah. seokjin, right?"

seokjin bit his lower lips and slowly nods his head like a lost puppy, it made jungkook smile.

"i might be older than you. you're so disrespectful." jungkook grinned.

"duh! im twenty two."

"im twenty four..."

seokjin's mouth went agaped just shrugging his shoulder, he doesnt care anyway.

"what happened here?" the manager exclaimed seeing the shattered glasses on the floor.

the other two employees immediately cleaned up while the manager rushed towards seokjin.

"im sorry, mr. jung." the manager said in a genuine apologetic tone.

seokjin stared at her before glancing at jungkook who's already walking away from him before staring right back at the manager who looks like in fear.

"n.. no, it's.. it's fine."

the manager's eyes widened in surprised but managed to remain her composure, she bowed at the young man infront of her.

"are you going to shop mr. jung? again, sorry for the incovenience."

"ah. y.. yes, i will."

seokjin turned his back against her already, he shut his eyes closed trying to calm himself. why does it feel like all of his blood rushed up through his cheeks?

he bit his lower lips and already grabbed two pieces of dress shirt, the white one and the blue silk one. he examined the fabric and the detail thoroughly.

"the white one will look good on you..."

he almost jumped out of his place but tried to look unaffected as he saw jungkook glancing at him and the clothes he's holding.

"but i know you'll get them both." jungkook chuckled.

seokjin nods his head, he's getting the both of them. of couse, he needs a lot of clothes for the sake of his walk-in closet looking good.

the younger turned his back against jungkook and walked towards he shoe collection, he grabbed the black sneakers with gold lining. it looks simple but he knows that it's comfortable so why not?

he hates trying out shoes in display. for him, it's unhygienic.

that's why he actually doesnt know as to why he's contemplating if he should ask jungkook for a new one or just try the display out. he bit his lower lips. damn, why is the other employees not assisting him?

"should i get you a new one?"

seokjin snapped his head back at jungkook who's already staring at the shoes he's currently holding, the younger timidly nods his head and told the older his size.

he let out a deep sigh and took a seat on the couch while waiting for jungkook. he bit the insides of his cheeks when minutes after, the older is already walking towards his drection with a box of shoe in his hand.

"here..."

jungkook knelt down infront of him.

seokjin was taken aback when the older gently slipped out his shoe on his left feet before sliding the new one.

the younger smiled a little as he examined the shoe, it looks good.

material things really makes seokjin feel happy, it makes him feel fulfilled. everytime he's all dolled up it makes him feel beautiful and important.

"um, yeah, i'll get this, jungkook." he said in almost a whisper.

jungkook already stood up slowly raising his brows at the younger.

"are you okay?"

"of course!"

and seokjin ends up hating himself for looking stupid infront of jungkook that day.
