9. Iron Man on work

Read description from Table of Contents (1)

Jungkook hated his job.

Of course it is the most la-dah-dah statement in the world, which literally everyone would say the moment you ask them about work.
He still remembers the way he fumed when he heard the pastry-taster guy on Discovery channel saying he hates his job. Like what the fuck? Dude you get paid to eat cakes made by world's best chefs?? Thankless much?

Ugh, anyways, so Jungkook hated his job. This is absolutely not what he had in his mind when he applied for job at the dog café downtown; he giddily dreamt of serving expensive coffees to cute guys while patting some adorable puppies. Not this.

But here he is, almost at dusk of 7pm, flagging the café flyers on the roadside in an embarrassing Iron Man costume that is two size too small for him, pinging too deep into the crotch squeezing his...um.. atom bombs and sex pistol.

Not to mention the mask that is normally supposed to cover till neck was probably made for the face of a Chihuahua because a human 'who breathes' cannot for the love of God fit into it; and honestly the job is not worth death. So he has the mask folded above his forehead like a beanie.

Therefore the eyes he rolls at everyone who passes by him without reading a flyer is quite out in the open and he couldn't care less about it.
That is until another little boy (too little for this big world) taps at his calf and his eyes roll to another dimension in annoyance.

"Mister Iron Man?"

Oh great! another spawn of Satan requesting to show a supersonic flight and missile projection.

"Ekshcooz me, mister Iron Man sir?"

Even though he practically melted at how endearing the designations were in that sugar sweet voice, he chooses to ignore the boy poking a finger on his leg and gets back to his 'super-fun' work like he doesn't see him.

The boy however is either innocently clueless or relentlessly ignorant because when not given attention, he choses to sit on Jungkook's foot and hug his leg like his life depends on it and although the sight is pretty cute as is, it does tick the man's annoyance a little.

"Listen, I do not have any flight power, boy. Nor can I shoot lasers with my eyes. Ok? I have to work!"

"I d-don't want your lashers. I want to you to help me save Mada!"

Suddenly the boy's already big eyes go bigger and it doesn't seem far fetched that he may even start crying any moment. Jungkook sighs and picks up the boy in his arms where he instantly clutches at his shoulders with little fists.

"Huh? What's a Mada?"

"Mada is.. a... Mada." He explains nodding with a serious face as if he just let out a great piece of information making the man he was held by chuckle.

"Okayyy... Where is it?"

"That way!" He points to the road turn a few steps away and Jungkook starts to follow the finger with the boy in arms.

"Hello, my name is Dwae. Nice to meet you. I'm fine, thank you. And you?" He suddenly rambles a rehearsed monologue of his introduction extending a hand to shake formally although the face still filled with worry.

Jungkook cooed out loud and hugged him a little closer. "Hi Dwae. I think you're the cutest boy ever."

"Hmm.. so I've heard." He nods proudly and gasps as soon as they take the turn for the road. "Look! There they are! Smelly is troububbling Mada!!" He climbs off of Jungkook's arms who in time catches the sight the little boy was pointing at.
