Touch Of The Poor

㉓You Could Have Said It From The Beginning

 
Taehyung hummed as he stretched his curled-up body, a sonorous yawn seeping through his lips. The bed he was in was extremely comfortable, and the cotton blanket was too smooth and warm, something that made it hard for him to part from it.

His mind traveled to yesterday's events, and he couldn't help but analyze what happened once again. Did Jeongguk actually flirt with me? Why did he ask if I want to hug him to sleep? Why didn't he just give me the pillow so I could leave?

He yawned once more and sat up in the bed. It was after ten in the morning, so Jeongguk probably wouldn't be there. With a sigh, he decided to leave the warm bed as his urge to relieve himself overtook him, and once he freshened up, he sauntered to the kitchen to drink some water.

His eyebrows bumped together and some murmurs in confusion escaped his mouth upon seeing a mess in the kitchen. He walked further inside, observing the dirty cookware and dishes that were piled up in the sink.

He shrugged it off and walked towards the fridge, only to stop abruptly once he spotted a note on the table.
  

Hey! Sorry for the mess, I tried making breakfast but failed. Haha. I ordered some sandwiches, you can eat them all! Don't forget to try the jacuzzi and playroom

   
"What the actual fuck?" Taehyung muttered, utterly confused. Why would Jeon Jeongguk try making breakfast for me?

He opened the fridge, only to be shocked once again. There were five different kinds of sandwiches in there. Is he crazy? I can't eat all these. He grabbed one randomly and sat at the table.

After eating, he went to the playroom first. He gaped at the room while he exclaimed 'wow' every time he spotted another game he liked. He spent at least two hours in there, and yes, he was able to try them all. He was having the time of his life; it had been too long since the last time he played games like this.

He searched for the jacuzzi for a while since Jeongguk didn't tell him where it was. At last, he went to the younger's room to see if he had his own bathroom, and he did. His bathroom was three times bigger than his previous apartment, incredibly luxurious and shiny as the rest of the house.

He slipped out of his clothes and got into the jacuzzi, a sigh of satisfaction passing through his lips instantly as the feeling was one he had never experienced before.

"I could get used to this," he whispered to himself as he played with the water, a blissful smile engraved on his face. But his smile faltered rather soon as he thought it was the first and last time he was in that jacuzzi and in that house in general.

Half an hour later, he took a quick shower and spent the remaining time wandering around the enormous house and then lying on the downy, cozy couch in the living room. Of course, he did wash the dishes and overall cleaned up the kitchen as a thank you to Jeongguk for letting him stay there.

Once it was time to go to work, he grabbed his things and stood by the door, staring at the house with a deep pout. "It was nice for as long as it lasted." He closed the door and reluctantly returned to the bitter reality.

"Good morning, sir," a smiling chauffeur greeted as he stood outside of the house.

"Wow! What the—" he exclaimed as he threw a hand over his chest, outright appalled by his sudden appearance.

"My name is Hanae, and I'll be your driver for the day." He bowed and offered him yet another genial smile.

"Um, I'm Taehyung, but why are you taking me to work?"

"Mr. Jeon asked me to."

"Of course he did," Taehyung snickered as he shook his head. "It's okay, you can go." He started walking past the car.
