Work Text:
It had been three months since Jungkook had graduated college. He spent most of the summer with Haeun playing with her and taking care of her while Yoongi was working with Namjoon. He couldn't complain, he was even told by Yoongi that he didn't need to find a job, just to stay with Haeun, but that wasn't good enough for him.
“Haeun-ah, what do you think about aboji’s job?” Jungkook asked his daughter as she sat on the counter watching him make sandwiches.
“Aboji works hard. Aboji told Haeun aboji works cause he loves us. Appa gonna work with Aboji?” She asked as she looked down at her feet.
“Well Haeun, your Appa is gonna try and get a job. Do you know what that means? Spending more time with Jimin ahjussi!” He said as he smiled at her.
Haeun returned the smile with her own bunny like smile before trying to get off the counter. Jungkook picked her up, and placed her on the ground so she could go and run to the table.
“Haeun, go wash up, lunch is ready.” Jungkook called as he went to the table and placed her sandwich in her spot.
“Maybe I'll try and work at that local dance studio.” He whispered as Haeun ran back into the kitchen jumping up to her chair.

A couple weeks later, Jungkook had applied for the job and got rejected. But that wasn't all, he had been rejected by ten different places he applied to work at. Jungkook wasn't just mad, he was pissed. There was no reason he shouldn't be accepted, he had a college degree and was a good person.
He walked in after another rejection interview and laid on the couch. Jimin was playing with Haeun in the living room and they both stared as Jungkook just laid there.
“Appa hungry? Ahjussi, make appa food.” Haeun called from her spot on the ground.
Jimin feigned a hurt expression as he walked over and pulled Haeun into a hug. “No Haeun, you call me oppa not ahjussi! I'm not that old!” Jimin insisted as he hugged her. “Kookie what's wrong? Did you not get the job again?”
“Yah! Stop telling my daughter to call you that.” Kookie mumbled from his spot on the couch.
“Why? Are you jealous?”
“Of course I am! She is not allowed to call any man oppa! Anyway, Hyung don't ask it's terrible, this is the tenth place that's rejected me.” He sighed as he looked up to see Haeun standing in front of him. She walked up and wrapped her arms around his arm.
“Appa don't be sad. Aboji said he got cake today.” She announced with a large smile on her face.
“Jimin, hyung is bringing cake?” Jungkook as as he looked over to see the older nod.
Yoongi walked through the door at just that moment, holding a huge box.
“I'm back, now where is my Jungkookie?” He asked as he placed the cake down.
Jungkook got up from his spot and sulked over to the kitchen. He laid his head against Yoongi’s shoulder.
“Hyung I go-” but before he could continue Yoongi pulled him into a hug.
“Don't be upset, we have something to celebrate today.”
“What's that hyung?”
“Well… Remember my friend Hoseok? Well he said he got you a job at his dance company… Surprise!” Yoongi shouted as he placed a kiss on Jungkook who looked so surprised.
“Hyung.. You got me a job.. This isn't fair! I went through all that trouble to try and get a job and you get me one so easily! I don't even know what to say.” He said as he looked over towards the box. “Hyung. You're the best… Can we have the cake now?” He asked shyly.
“Of course, Kookie. Anything for you my love.”
