*•••••°♾°•••••*
It was a rainy Saturday night. Most people are inside their humble abodes, some eating dinner with their family and some already sleeping.
The normal noisy street of Seoul has quieted down as if sleeping after a long busy day. Car noises, nothing. People chattering, nothing. Random music, nothing. To put it simply, everything is peaceful tonight in this city.
.......but nobody can entirely be sure of that.
Under the flickering lights of some broken old lamp post, a man is walking down the street with his left hand on the pocket of his wet blazer while the other runs through his wet brown locks.
The man held a frustrated face, chest slightly rising up and down due to how long he walked from his broken car to this street in Seoul.
You may ask, he could just have called someone to repair his broken car and wait until he gets it fixed, but the person on the other line said that there are no available mechanics at this moment.
"Hello, this is Kim Taehyung. My car's broken here in the street.." Taehyung paused to look for the street name or shops near his location. "Street 613? Yeah? I would like to------"
"Uh, sorry mister?" The person on the other line asks.
"Kim. Kim Taehyung." Taehyung answers.
"Welp, sorry Mr. Kim cuz right now, most of our mechanics are not available at the moment. Some have already went home while some are attending other customers. The next available mechanic will be available......" The line got quiet for a few seconds. ".....in exactly 2 hours and will take 30 minutes to get in your location." Taehyung can't but notice the heavy accent on the person's voice, meaning that this person might be from another country.
Taehyung retracted his phone from his ear and looked at it with a 'are you kidding me look'.
"What?! Are you kidding?! I can't wait THAT long." Taehyung placed the phone back on his ear and replied with frustration and slight annoyance.
"Welp." He also notices that he uses the word 'welp' often. "We can't really do anything about that don't we? I'm sorry but it's either you wait for the available car mechanic or you fix your car yourself." The welcoming voice of person changed, bored now clearly hearable in his voice.
Taehyung's grip on his phone tightened and he sighed.
"Look, I'm a famous person and I'm not suitable for fixing cars." Taehyung continued. "Why don't you come here and fix it instead?" He sarcastically asked.
"I'm sorry but I'm no mechanic. I'm simply the assistant manager. And I don't care if you're a famous person or not. Now if you'll excuse me, I have other important calls to answer---"
"I'm gonna fire you." Taehyung slowly said, making sure to add anger in his voice.
"Hmm." The man hummed in a boring way. "Whatever. Thank you for calling, bye."
Taehyung was about to shout when the line on the other side disconnected.
"Damn it!!"
He cursed out loud. He wanted to throw his phone far away but then realized that he could just have called his butler instead, then he wouldn't have struggled with this, and in a rainy night too.
He smiled and took out his phone, only to see it shut down due to low battery.
"What the hell?! Ugh!" He didn't care if anyone could hear him.
And this is where it continues.....
Taehyung cursed under his breath at the expensive suit sticking to his skin like glue, it didn't help that the night was getting colder.
He sighed and licked his lips in frustration. His footsteps increased it's sound from how frustrated he was being, but that didn't stop him from hearing a cry.
A cry of what?
Out of curiosity, he decided to go near where the cry came from, and he realized that the cries are too high pitched to be an adult's. It sounded more like a baby's or someth-----
"Shit." He was stuck between continuing on walking towards the sound or just walk away, but he can't help but think that this might be a real baby.
Taehyung is known for being the successor of the most famous suit-maker company all over Asia and is also known for his well, rude and arrogant attitude.
That is true, but a guy like him has a soft side that only his family knows.
A soft side for babies.
Yep, you read that right.
Hesitation lingered at the back of his head, but guess what?
"Fuck it." He placed his case aside and walked nearer to the sound. The sound kept getting louder as he went closer. After a few seconds, Taehyung stopped. He suddenly thought if this was maybe, just maybe, a trap. Somebody might be using a recorded voice of a baby to lure somebody and do something...bad.
Taehyung's hand went to his pocket and gripped the first thing he touched. A...
Ballpen....
This is better than nothing.....
He gulped and walked towards it again, but with more caution. Taehyung's eyes widened and the ballpen dropped from his fingers. He couldn't believe it, it was indeed, a baby. He couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl. But what really surprised him is the fact there isn't just a baby, there are two babies in a box wrapped in a white blanket.
Taehyung looked around in hopes to find clues, but nothing seemed to help him.. He gently kneeled down, the crying baby miraculously stopped crying. The other baby just stared at him.
Taehyung tilted his head. Are babies supposed to look like this?
They look....so small. And fragile.
Warmth surrounded Taehyung's heart as he stared at the babies, who are also cutely staring back at him.
He wanted to scoop them in his arms right then and there, but he stopped his self. Their parents might still be there. But then again, what kind of parents would leave their babies in the middle of the cold dark night? Nobody could do that. Right?
Taehyung decided to wait for a few minutes and when no one came, he gently carried the box with the bundles of joy inside. He walked out of the hallway, almost forgetting about his case but he balanced it on his arms, together with the box.. Taehyung breathed, closed his eyes and opened again to see the two babies staring at him.
Weird.
As much as he wanted to keep them, he couldn't just do that because someone might be looking for them. The rain stopped, thankfully. He sighed and walked towards the nearest police station where he could get help, help for the little angels inside the box.
Taehyung smiled.
