Unordinary: Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 5: Work

Waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling wasn't fun. He sat up in a hurry, and almost called out for Jin before yesterday's events came flooding back to him. Taehyung's heart was trying to beat out of his chest, and he didn't know if it was due to shock or excitement.

I'm not in the ward anymore.

The blond searched the room, finding a pair of black clothes, neatly folded, and placed on the surface of one of the cabinets. He got out of bed, finding a yellow note that read: 'This is your uniform. Take care of it and try to look proper, it's your first day of work. I'll be outside, don't keep me waiting. We leave at 9:00 on the dot. - Jeon'

He set the note down.

We leave at nine? What time is it?

He couldn't find anything remotely similar to a clock, but the sun was peeking out childishly and he couldn't help but panic.

I'm sure it's early morning, but how do I know what time it is?

With frantic moves, Taehyung picked up the black uniform, and began to take off his white clothes. The difference in color was startling, and the fabric wasn't as comfy as his ward clothes. The long coat was hard to fix when he couldn't see where the buttons went, and the shoes were chunky and heavy; they weren't comfortable in the least. Wearing shoes felt strange, so did wearing socks, he was used to being barefoot; it was easier to move around without things weighing down his feet. Taehyung knew his hair was a mess, it always was after naps, but the idea of upsetting Jungkook wasn't appealing and he couldn't find a brush so he left it alone.

Walking out into the hallway, the blond rushed into the kitchen, took a fruit and gulfed it down as quickly as he could before rushing back into the bathroom after finding the right door. He searched for a toothbrush, finding a new one under the sink and pausing before ripping it open.

Would I get in trouble for opening it?

He didn't know, but he had to hurry so he used it and began to brush his teeth. Closing the faucet, the blond scurried to the front door, opening it and closing it just as quickly before scanning the open plane for the man with the dark blue hair. He looked impatient; not good, so he ran up to him, not surprised when he heard him click his tongue.

"You're late.."

Jungkook's words faltered when his eyes landed on the slightly panting male with messy hair and a disheveled uniform. As he stood before the elder, Taehyung directed his gaze to the ground before bowing deeply as an apology, not uttering a word. He heard Jungkook clear his throat before the click of the car's lock was heard.

"Get in the car. We'll make it just in time and fix your uniform and hair. You need to look presentable."

Taehyung nodded, taking his seat and smoothing out his blond locks. Throughout the whole car ride, Taehyung kept glancing out the window, trying hard not to look like a child going on their first field trip. The building from yesterday pulled into view and the boy couldn't help but stare at it with big eyes again. The car had entered an opening near the back, gray walls and pillars lined the ground before the tires screeched against the shiny floor and the car came to a stop.

"We're here. Stick with me. I don't want to lose you on the first day. Don't go acting all buddy-buddy with others either; not like they'll try and be friends with something like you anyway."

Jungkook closed the car door, addressing Taehyung with a look of indifference as they began to walk into the building. The elder guided them through the maze-like halls until they reached a pair of big black doors. Jungkook pushed them open with ease and inside were hundreds of people lined up, backs straight. Taehyung stared at the number of people in amazement.
