"So here's what ya gotta do. Make sure the cash register is always tended and don't keep your eyes off of it." says Mr. Chang, the owner of the convenient store next to the gym where Jungkook works at. 

Earlier that morning, after Jin's visit, Jimin and Jungkook had to leave for work while Yoongi, Hoseok and Taehyung went to look for jobs. As long as they were living with the jikook duo, they had to find a job and save up some money to help out. 

Jimin said he can get Taehyung to work with him at the preschool since he knows Taehyung loves kids, and Taehyung so happily agreed. He even tried to get Yoongi on board with the idea, but Yoongi refused, saying he'll end up scaring the kids away with his grumpiness. 

Jungkook decided to step in and help Hoseok and Yoongi out. He told them about a client that comes into the gym every week, which so happens to be Mr. Chang, a middle aged single man who runs the convenience store next to the gym Jungkook works at. 

Mr. Chang has been looking for cashiers to work the day and night shifts since the last two quit on him. Working at a convenience store really wasn't on Yoongi's list of jobs, but Hoseok convinced him that it would only be for a little while until they can make up some money, then afterwards, they can look for better jobs. 

"And one of ya's got to sweep the aisle and make sure no punk tries to steal anything. I think you'll fit that role perfectly." says Mr. Chang as he grabs a dainty broom from the side of the cash register and hands it over to Hoseok. 

"And you." he turns to Yoongi with a raised brow. "You are lucky Jungkook spoke highly of you, though I don't usually hire people who don't have paper works. For now, just stand behind the register. I already taught you the basics so it shouldn't be too hard."

True, both Yoongi and Taehyung have no evidence or documents about themselves. No id, no birth certificates. Nothing. Thankfully, Jungkook is cool with Mr. Chang and the old man decided to give Yoongi a chance until he can bring in some paper work. 

As for Taehyung, Jimin would have to think of some way to get Taehyung to work with him since the preschools are very strict.

"I'll be in my office if any of you need me. So get to work, i'll be watching you very closely." Mr. Chang points his stubby fingers at the both of them before disappearing into his back office. 

As soon as he was gone, Yoongi slouches his shoulders with a frown already evident on his face. "Sunshine, this fucking sucks." he grumbles, Hoseok nods in agreement. 

"I know it's not much, but we have to start somewhere Yoongi." Hoseok says with a sigh as he begins to sweep the aisle. 

"Why couldn't you just get a job at that dance studio?" Yoongi asks as he leans against the counter, resting his elbow on the surface then resting his chin on the palm of his hand. "That job suited you more than...this." he grimaces at his own surroundings. 

"They already replaced me and the other dance studios around here wanted female dancers and such." Hoseok lets out another sigh as he sadly sweeps the floor, his whole energy and mood was as gloomy as the skies outside. 

Yoongi didn't like to see his sunshine so down in the dumps, which further made him so upset with himself. I did this to him...I made him so sad when I left. Yoongi walks out from behind the counter and stops Hoseok from sweeping. He then pushes the taller against the wall and brings him in for soft but deep kiss. 

Hoseok flinches at the sudden act of affection, not that he didn't like it, he loved it, but they were in the middle of the store and he was sure the owner was watching. 

Yoongi pulls away seconds later and caresses both sides of Hoseok's face with his large hands. "Sunshine, I'll do anything to make you happy again. I promise you that." 

Hoseok smiles at Yoongi's gesture of compassion. "I'm already happy just being with you." he says, making the shorter male return a small gummy smile to him before locking their lips together once again, this time the kiss being abit more intimate. 

"Oh wow...that's hot."

Both pull away and clear their throats as soon as they heard someone speak. Hoseok mentally curses himself for not paying attention to the front door when he then sees a female high school student standing at the door, gawking at the both of them. 

Yoongi stares at her blankly before walking back to his register, leaving Hoseok to talk to the girl alone. 

"W-what can I do for you miss?" Hoseok asks, bowing slightly to her while giving his usual heart shaped smile, thus making the girl blush and smile at him in return. 

"I uh...came in to buy some chips...are you guys new?" she asks, looking over to Yoongi then back to Hoseok. "Because if so, I think I just found my new favorite store to shop at."

Hoseok laughs lightly at her words, whereas Yoongi just rolls his eyes and leans against the counter again, staring at the girl closely, especially her school uniform. Hmm...it seem really familiar...

"Yeah, my boyfriend and I just started working today." says Hoseok, pointing over to Yoongi then to himself. 

The girls face brightens up even more, happy to know they are a couple working together. "That's amazing. Congrats and I'll definitely be coming back again." she says as she passes by Hoseok, grabs a bag of chips and goes over to the counter to pay for them. 

Her smile then falters as she meets Yoongi's piercing gaze. It wasn't full of anger, but more on the creepy side. She slowly slides the bag on the counter and Yoongi takes it without a word, scanning the item then handing it back to her. 

"1.50" he says, then looks down at her uniform again. "Where did you get that uniform?" he asks, the question alone makes her raise a brow at him as she goes to take out her wallet. 

"I got this at the mall. There is a store that sells school uniforms." she says as she hands him the money for the chips. "Are you a high school student?."

Yoongi takes it and gives her the receipt. "No. I'm just curious, that's all." he says with a straight face. 

Both stare at each other for a few seconds, Yoongi silently blinking at her before cracking a small smile. "Have a nice day." he says, making her smile back with a nod. 

"Thank you. I'll come back again soon." she says before rushing out the store with an even deeper blush on her face. 

As soon as she was gone, Yoongi's frown appears again. "Sunshine, how long do we have to do this?"

"Just until two o'clock." Hoseok replies as he gathers his broom again and starts sweeping. 

Yoongi looks up at the clock on the wall and sees that it's only nine in the morning, leaving him with five more hours of this misery. 

"Fuck me.." 

++++

The rest of the day went by like a blur. A few customers came in and Yoongi rang them up as usual, but not without glaring at them in the process. The owner had to come out a few times to tell Yoongi not to scare the customers, but Yoongi couldn't help it, that was his natural facial expression. 

Hoseok took over once in a while and let Yoongi wander around the store sweeping, though all Yoongi did was stare out the window at the people whom passed by. 

It felt so surreal being back in the human world, this time he was one of them. He thought it would be easy, but being human was alot harder then he ever expected, especially since he didn't have any powers to entertain himself. 

"Alright, it's two o'clock. I'm taking over from here, so you guys can leave for the day, but be back tomorrow, same time." Mr. Chang announces as he goes to register and switches places with Hoseok. 

"Finally." Yoongi mutters as he goes to the back room with Hoseok to get his coat. "I thought this misery would never end." 

"Yoongi, please just bare with this until we can save up some money." Hoseok says as he puts on his jacket and looks down at his phone. He sees that his sister Dawon has left him a message. 

Dawon:

Hey Hoseok, sorry for the short notice, but I'm running late and I need you to pick up Hanzo from school. I'll call you when I get out of work. 

Hoseok smiles to himself after reading the message. He then looks over to Yoongi, whom was still frowning and now shivering from the cold draft inside the room. "Hey Yoongi, ready to see an old friend?" he asks, making the shorter male stare at him. 

"Who?" he asks, and Hoseok merely smiles at him as he then takes Yoongi's hand and leads him out of the store. 

"You'll see."

++++

It had begun to snow as the yoonseok duo make their way down the street towards the preschool. It was a few blocks away, but still in good walking distance, though, for Yoongi, it felt like an eternity. 

"I'm fucking freezing sunshine." Yoongi mutters through chattering teeth as he pins himself close to Hoseok's body for warmth. Yoongi's body was still sensitive to the cold, and he can only imagine how Taehyung was feeling right about now. 

"We are almost there, look, the school is just up ahead." says Hoseok as he points over to a small building packed with children leaving with their parents. 

Yoongi peers closely and sees the tall brunette with Jimin at his side. He can already tell Taehyung was shivering just by the way he was bouncing around in his spot. But the one person that really caught his attention was the little boy bouncing happily along with Taehyung, his heart shaped smile matching that of his uncles. 

"Tata! Play with me!" Hanzo reaches his small arms up for Taehyung and the taller male happily picks the child up and swings him around. 

Jimin smiles brightly, his eyes turning into crescents as he giggles at the display of affection before him. 

Yoongi feels his heart stammer, his breath hitching as he sees Hanzo again. All those months in hell has made him miss the child so much, and just seeing him again brings warmth into his heart. 

"Hey Hanzo! Look who's here!" Hoseok calls out to the child and Hanzo turns his head over to Hoseok's direction, his face lighting up like the holiday lights around them as he makes eye contact with Yoongi. 

"MEOW MEOW!" he screams and wiggles himself out of Taehyung's hold and runs down the sidewalk and into Yoongi's open arms. 

He wraps his small arms around Yoongi's neck, burring his face into the crook of Yoongi's neck as Yoongi holds onto the child in a tight embrace. His heart warms up even more, masking out the cold air that surrounds them. 

"I missed you Meow Meow!" Hanzo says, holding onto Yoongi tightly. 

Yoongi smiles fondly, his heart skipping beats as he takes in the child's warmth. "I missed you too." he says while slowly rubbing Hanzo's back. 

"Meow, Meow, where did you go? Jiminie hyung told me you went on vacation." 

Yoongi looks to Jimin, silently thanking him for not telling the truth of what happened to him and Taehyung. "I went on vacation...to Daegu. As did Taehyung." he says, looking over to the taller male. 

"That's what tata told me too! Why didn't you tell me you were going away for so long!" Hanzo frowns and Yoongi gives him a small pout. "Uncle Hobi was sad when you left." he adds, making Yoongi's heart coil in with regret. 

"I'm sorry Hanzo." was all Yoongi can pretty much say on the matter. It's not like the child would understand that he was in hell for a few months and the devil just so happened to give him a second chance. As for the matter with Hoseok, Yoongi can imagine how miserable Hoseok was without him, because he was just as miserable without Hoseok too. 

"But i'm here now and your uncle is very happy that i'm back." Yoongi says, giving Hanzo a bright gummy smile. 

"I'm happy you and tata are back too!." Hanzo tells him with a childish giggle and hugs him again.

"This gives me the biggest UWU of the century." Taehyung comments as he stares at the two with heart eyes. 

"He practically screamed when he saw Taehyung and wouldn't leave his side at all." Jimin adds as he holds Taehyung's cold hand and rubs it between his. 

"Speaking of, how did you get Taehyung to work with you?" Hoseok asks. 

"It was tricky at first. The principle didn't want to risk it, so we got him in as a volunteer for now. She said when we get his papers and such, then he can actually work at the pre-school." Jimin holds onto Taehyung's hand assuring. 

"It sucks because I wont be able to make some money." Taehyung gives a sad pout. 

"Don't worry baby, we'll figure out how to get those papers for you and for Yoongi too." Jimin says as he glances over to Yoongi. 

"I think I might know a way, it's worth a shot but we can ask Jin hyung. He knows people who can do us favors like that." Hoseok suggests, earning a frown from Yoongi and Taehyung. 

"But, your friend wasn't quite...fond of Taehyung and I." Yoongi responds, but Hoseok nods in return with a small smile. 

"Jin hyung is a good guy with a good heart. When we meet up with him later on, we'll talk to him. I know he'll warm up to the both of you, just give him time."

"Speaking of, what are we going to do with Hanzo? His mother called and said she was running late and that you were going to pick him up." Jimin looks to Hoseok then to Hanzo with a smile. 

"I know, my sister is running late so for now we are just going to have to take him with us." 

"To a bar? Hoseok your sister will kill us if we do that." Jimin says with a raised brow.

"Duh! I know that. That's why I decided we should all meet up at that pizza place near Jungkook's job. It's family friendly and it warm in there too." Hoseok suggests. 

As the four engage in their conversation, Hanzo mindlessly stares around at everyone who passes by. He sees an old man walking a dog, a little girl with her mother and father, and a young couple out for a stroll. 

He keeps looking around at anything that catches his interest, that is, until his eyes stop at a figure staring at him from across the street. 

It was a tall man wearing black boots, worn and torn baggy jeans, and a ripped jacket with a baseball cap to hide his face. 

Everyone was walking past the strange man, yet, he remains immobile with his body still facing towards Hanzo. The child peers closely as the man then lifts his head up just enough to reveal his face and a small dimpled smile. 

"Joonie?" Hanzo whispers to himself as he stares the figure from across the street. He wasn't sure if it's him or not since he was far away and the snow falling was breaking his view, but part of him recognized those dimples and they belonged to that man who gave him the Mang and Shooky dolls. 

"Hanzo? What's wrong?" Hoseok asks, breaking the child's attention from the figure with the dimpled smile. 

"Uh...It's nothing." He smils back to his uncle and turns his head to look back across the street, only to see that the man was already gone. 

"We better get going. It's getting colder out here and Dawon will kill us if Hanzo gets sick." Hoseok urges as he takes Yoongi's hand and pulls him along. Hanzo wraps his arms tighter around Yoongi's neck as he lets Yoongi carry him onward. 

Jimin follows, then Taehyung, but the taller then stops in his tracks and turns his attention to across the street. His brows pinch together as an ominous feeling overcomes him, almost as if he was being watched. 

"Taehyung? Baby let's go before the snow gets too thick out here." Jimin urges as he takes Taehyung's hand and pulls him along. 

As the groups leaves, the figure hiding behind the corner of the building silently watches them. He wraps his long arms around his thin frame, the clothes he was wearing doing little to nothing to keep him warm from the brutal cold air. 

That's what Namjoon gets for finding clothes out of a dumpster, but that was his only option since coming back to the human world. 

Either way, the cold air won't stop him from following them, for he is sure that they are heading somewhere to meet up with Jin. 

"And wherever they go, i'll go. As long as I get to see you again, Jin."
