In Between || Taejinkook

Twenty-three

The manner was to lighten the heavy atmosphere, however since there was no reality in his voice, it never turned out to be his immediate goal. That being set aside, it worsened everything as even he himself could say he wasn't successful in smothering the gloom in that useless sound.

"I'm not aware of almost 70% of the story, but I can assure that's precisely what Hoseok saw in you, Seokjin. I teach university students, and I know what Hoseok is talking about.

He saw that ability in you at the moment, and as someone whose entire life is being spent with working on textile and sewing machine, his words absolutely mean something."

A small hint of happiness along with hope was placed intelligently in every little syllable the Alpha uttered. It was the hungry power of a professor's experience.

Jin was wrapped by the words of two smart people who were trying all in them to pull him forward, to break that wall of fear. He couldn't pinpoint if he loved or hated the condition he was in, nonetheless these selfless efforts were all he needed to be dead certain he was not in the right place.

"Plus, you were concerned for Taehyung's money. If you work for Hoseok, Taehyung won't have to pay for anything. You have the chance to learn from a skillful master like Hoseok, and then maybe in the future you will lead your own shining business. What you say?"

The Omega didn't realize it himself, but he raised his body a little from the seat, almost shoving his face into Jin's for his excited limbs couldn't bear the wickedness of sitting.

That didn't elicit any voice out of Jin's throat, but it had him grin so genuinely as though he wasn't shaking with nervousness seconds ago. A moment of beautiful support, past couldn't be defined.

"But if I remember in the job I have to learn sketching. And talking about me, I can't draw a straight line, let alone the tough yet at the same time smooth lines of the sketches I got to see on Hoseok's desk." Even when the words were sad, he let them out with complete content.

He knew if he wanted to do this, he'd have to be watchful and honest with every little detail. His last and never intention was to damage Hoseok's business in the slightest ways.

"That's another great thing for you. What Hoseok wants from you is to speak your mind to him, so he could put it on paper. And other stuffs you'll be doing are arranging and deciding the combination of collections. Basically, you will be his assistant just like how I am to Taehyung.

I'm sure in the process he'll teach you more, and you'll get to participate in hive of different and also colorful activities as I can tell this is how you prefer." And the little naughty Omega had the audacity to wink at him playfully with a mischievous smirk that just emphasized pure tricks in itself.

"I have a job, and so bad I like it too much to leave it. Otherwise, I'd steal that great opportunity from everyone." Namjoon joined his husband to make him feel terrible for not applying for the said job already.

"Please, don't lose it, Seokjin. Namjoon and I bend over backwards to death, and still with both of us together we don't earn half of the bread Hoseok gets just for one collection. He's fat rich and from the way he begged me to get you for him, well I'm sure he pays fat, as well!"

After Jimin's saying, the couple stared at him expectantly, waiting patiently for his final words on the matter. Jin gazed back enough to tease them a bit as their wrinkled foreheads and pressed lips were priceless.

"If that's so, then I think I should announce Taehyung. Too bad, though! I wanted to tease him a bit for paying." Jin lowered his head and took a fake heavy sigh, however throughout his body, his everything was jumping acrobatically in sheer excitement.
