Chapter: 12
Song: "Ankhon Mein" by Aryans
"Woah!!!!", Raven's mouth hung open in amusement as he stared at the huge mall in front of him.
Taehyung stood besides him and looked at his face. More like stared. Not like he was first time doing it with other being oblivious. By now he has well remembered every nook and cranny of Raven's face.
Yup, it's already been a month and Taehyung can't believe he has become so used to Raven being around. And honestly, he never regretted about taking him in. He was like happy ball anyone would like to have around. Even though Taehyung never admitted it, he was starting to let loose around him.
Just like now, he was standing in front of the mall for grocery shopping and other things. Although these things were done by his previous servants who failed to keep their job. Simply because Taehyung fired them for their stupid mistakes. Meaning not doing their work perfectly. After that he had stopped hiring anyone and ordered things online, groceries and stuff. He cooked himself because he believed no one does it perfectly, he rather do it himself.
What can you say? He was a perfect man.
But after hiring Raven, something had changed. Raven never gave him reason to keep him on job. He didn't do anything perfectly. But still Taehyung couldn't gather his guts to fire him... Because he did one job perfectly. And that was making Taehyung smile, consciously or unconsciously.....
Yes, he was starting to learn how to smile, without a reason. At first he saw Raven as only his rival. The one whom he wanted to show how his life was perfect than him. After being around him for few days, he started getting bored of trying to get perfect. Because it had never affected Raven if was perfect or not. He still smiled. Rather lately, he was starting to get interested in learning more about Raven.
Raven was like little curious baby, who didn't know anything about the world. Even little things. He was standing on an unknown path not knowing where he was going or where he was coming from.
And Taehyung wanted to be the one to guide him. Genuinely...
"Mmhm..." Taehyung hummed at Raven who was still wide mouthed at the huge building.
"So we are going to get the things which you order on your phone? Why didn't you order them this time? Why are we here to get them instead??", Raven rambled on.
"For god's sake. Go one by one. I'm not a computer to record everything and answer immediately.", Taehyung grunted. "And yes we are here to buy groceries. And I didn't order on phone this time because I want you to learn a thing or two." Raven made an 'oh' face.
"So the people who deliver this to your house, they buy things from here and give them to you?"
"Yes."
"And you pay them. And they buy things from that money?", Another curious question.
"Yes."
"So what profit they get from it?"
"I—", Taehyung stopped for a bit. Even though Raven didn't have any memory, Taehyung could make out that he was rather intelligent considering how often he questioned about everything and seemed curious about every little thing.
"Their company pays them.", Taehyung said after thinking a little.
"Oh... So they work for a company. Then why do they work for you too even though you actually don't give them anything rather than grocery money and they don't get any profit from it?", Raven asked as he struggled to keep up with Taehyung's long and fast steps in comparison to his little waddling ones.
"Their company pays them to work for me.", He said.
"Ohhh so their company works for you? You're quite big then.", Raven widen his eyes. At this point Taehyung feared that Raven's eyes may come out.
"No it's not like that. Wait a minute. Why are wasting time on some useless talking? Keep your mouth shut and let's go. I still have many things to do....", Taehyung murmured and grabbed Raven's hand and dragged him inside.
Raven was calm and that brought Taehyung's attention once they were inside. He looked back to see Raven was looking down. He also looked down to see he was still holding his hand. And to be honest he observed how perfect it felt. A small chubby hand completely engulfed by his large one. But then he snapped out of his thoughts and immediately let go of it.
"Let's start from the veggies.", He announced with looking back at Raven and lead them in.
The whole time Taehyung was picking up things and keeping in the basket. Raven was quiet. He was just following him without doing or saying anything. Taehyung wondered what happened for him to become suddenly so quiet.
'Is it because he held his hand without his permission?? Come on Taehyung, it was just hand holding. Not like touched him inappropriately. Stop thinking non sense.', he scolded himself in his mind.
"What happened? Why are you so quiet?", He asked without facing him.
"Because you told me to."
"What? And since when you exactly started listening to me? You never shut your mouth even if I tell you. Now tell me what's the matter?", Taehyung asked him as he kept down his basket and hands crossed over his chest. Raven just fiddled with his fingers uncomfortably.
"I... I don't like public places.", Raven mumbled. And for the first time Taehyung was hearing Raven talking in that low voice. And he didn't like it.
"Do you anxiety?", He asked carefully as he placed one hand on his shoulder.
"Y-yes."
"Tch... You should've told me earlier.", He said in a soft tone, Raven never knew he owned.
"But you're my boss. I can't deny you...", He said with his lips pouting. And Taehyung couldn't deny that looked just too cute.
"Exactly. I'm your boss. Not Master. You should've told me. Let's do one thing. Go and wait in the car. Okay? I'll be there in few minutes...", Taehyung said leaning down close to his face. Extremely close as he caressed Raven's shoulder soothingly. A woman going besides them gave him a weird look. But Taehyung totally ignored her. All he cared at the time was Raven's comfort. And Raven didn't seem to mind the proximity.
So one quick nod which made his fluffy black hair bounce cutely on his head, Raven walked away.

Jungkook's Daily Diary
14th July 20**
Dear Diary, You know, it's my 7th coffee date with him!!
Alright alright... It isn't a date exactly. I just make excuses to meet Jin hyung and then bump into him purposely and then offer him coffee at near coffee shop.
No I'm not selfish. My intentions are really pure. Yes. I do this because I think he doesn't eat well. He's a hard worker. He is working whenever I see him. So I want him to have some time for himself. And that's why I make such excuses to feed him.
He's all skin and bones. Maybe a little weight would make him look all beautiful. Not like he isn't beautiful now. It's just.... It makes me happy seeing him drinking the cup of coffee and eating snacks after a long tiring day. It makes him smile a little.
P.S.:- Even if I need to empty my whole bank balance feeding him snacks and coffee, I would gladly do it.
