Taehyung, a student working a summer job, was initially seriously wary of the owner. Jungkook—a grown man with a sleeve completely covered in tattoos and a cigarette always clinging to his lips—seemed too unpredictable. He was always pestering the bartender with crazy orders, and whenever he passed Taehyung, he'd put a friendly arm around his shoulders and whisper in his ear, "Everything working out, kid?" His colleagues just laughed: "Forget it, Jungkook's on the same wavelength as everyone else, he won't bite."

On the day of his first paycheck, Taehyung timidly peeked into his office. Jungkook was sitting in a leather chair, his feet propped up on the varnished edge of his desk. A sedative made his gaze seem hazy, and his smoky voice sounded even deeper. Lazily counting the wads of cash, he beckoned Taehyung over.

"Ta-Ta, my dear, sit down. I see you're trying. Not everyone can work like that in their first season, but you're doing it, so there you go."

He pushed forward not one envelope, but two at once, adding a hefty bonus. Taehyung stared at the money in confusion, while Jungkook slowly blew smoke toward the ceiling and said:

— And the second envelope is personally from me for how beautifully embarrassed you are every time I approach you.
