Tao approached the small cafe that was in the center of the city. He looked through the window to see if he could spot his best friend; luckily for him, he saw him sitting with a cup in his hand. He quickly entered at waved hello to his best friend.

"Hey Baekhyun!" Tao took a sit across from Baekhyun. How Baekhyun and Tao became friends, they were high school pen pals. At that time, Baekhyun was taking a Chinese language course and one of their semester projects was to write to their pen pal. Luckily for him, he was paired up with Tao. They kept on writing to each other even after the semester ended; soon they became very close. There were times Baekhyun would visit Tao and vice versa. Even after all the years, they still became close friends. "How are you?"

"I'm good." Baekhyun placed his cup on the table. "You?"

"Hm," Tao shifted slightly. "Yeah, I'm okay."

Baekhyun eyed him and sighed. "Tao…don't do that. I know you are lying. What is really going on?"

Tao knew that his best friend would figure it out. He had a knack for that. How he does it, Tao will never know.

"I need a job."

"A job? You got fired?"

"N-no. I didn't."

Baekhyun titled his head. "Then…what's wrong?"

"I-I need more money." Tao sighed. "My brothers, Luhan and Yixing, are in the hospital."

"What?!" People around them glanced at Baekhyun, in which he apologized for his outburst. "Tao, are you serious? What happened?"

"Luhan got into an accident…Yixing is very sick. My father won't be able to cover all the bills and stuff. My father is old Baekhyun…how can he pay for the bills?"

Baekhyun nodded. "I can help if you --"

Tao shook his head. "No. You don't have to Baekhyun. I don't want to borrow any money." He sighed. "Do you know any job openings? I want to make more money so I can send it to my father."

"Well," Baekhyun thought. There was one that his boyfriend Chanyeol told him about. "Chanyeol told me that his Boss is looking for another nanny for his kid."

"I'll take it." Tao said with confidence.

"But Tao…it's a nanny job…I know you need the money, but…you know…the job is typically for women --"

"I don't care! I have to help Luhan and Yixing…I need this." Tao pleaded.

Baekhyun nodded and wrote down some information on a piece of napkin.

"I'll tell Chanyeol to take you to his house." He passed the paper to Tao. "I have to warn you though…from Chanyeol he told me that he is really strict…apathetic…and his kid is sometimes a problem." He clicked his pen closed.

"I'll get over it." Tao said without even looking at his best friend.

'Nanny huh?'

Tao looked over the piece of paper. "You moved?" Baekhyun gave Tao the address to his and Chanyeol's new apartment.Tao glanced up, in which Baekhyun nodded.

"Chanyeol…yeah…left a plate of food out by accident over the weekend and when we came back…our apartment got infested with ants."

"My…god…"

Baekhyun shook his head. "I love guy, but sometimes he doesn't think before he acts." He sighed. "But that’s okay. He makes it up in bed."

"Erm," Tao slightly blushed. "O-okay that was a little --"

"Tao, he is like a lion in --"

"Baekhyun! A little too much for me!!" Tao covered Baekhyun's mouth with his hand. He didn't want people around them listening in. That would just be embarrassing. "I'll see you tomorrow morning!" With that Tao jumped from his seat and left.

-- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) --- (TAORIS) ---

Tao woke up earlier that usual on a Monday. Today was the day that Baekhyun's boyfriend takes him to his Boss's house. He was having a hard time choosing in what to wear; he wanted to make a good impression, so he went through his closet of clothes. He finally chose an outfit, wearing a plain white shirt with a grey mandarin-collar asymmetric hem jacket and his dark blue skinny jeans. He picked out his shoes and quickly went out the door. He took the public bus to Baekhyun and Chanyeol's place which took about 20 minutes. Once there, Tao was in awe.

'Their new apartment was better than their old one.'

He entered the apartment complex; he took out the paper that Baekhyun gave him yesterday, scanning the information.

'1G...1G'

Tao walked until he found their door. With a few knocks, the door opened to see a smiling Baekhyun.

"Good morning! Come in come in!" Baekhyun moved out of the way to let Tao enter.

"Hey Tao!" Chanyeol said while munching on his breakfast at the table.

"Hello Chanyeol. You look fancy." Chanyeol was very well-groomed. His hair was pushed back and he was conservatively dressed in a clean cut and crisply pressed black suit, with a wine red dress shirt, a black tie, and polished black footwear. Wine Red gloves were neatly placed on the table next to him.

"Thanks. It's my uniform."

Baekhyun handed Tao a cup of orange juice. "He is a chauffeur. That's why he is like that."

Tao nodded and drank his juice.

"You want some toast? Or anything before you go?"

Tao declines, but thanked him. Chanyeol stood up from his seat and placed his plate in the sink. "We have to go."

"Oh okay." Baekhyun walked both of them out the door. "Have a good day!" He gave a peck on Chanyeol's lips and gave one on Tao's cheek.

"Yah! What was that?!" Tao rubbed his cheek.

"That was a good luck kiss." Baekhyun said innocently. "I want my Tao baby to have good luck!"

"Jeez, you sound like a mom."

"Of course! Chanyeol's your dad while I am your mom!"

"Erm --"

"Okay, bye Baekhyun, love you! Let's go my son."

Chanyeol gently pushed Tao out of the door. They walked to Chanyeol's car and they started to drive. It was quite a long drive, a little over half an hour. Once there, Tao was surprised at Chanyeol's Boss's living quarters.

"T-this guy lives in a mansion?!" Tao exclaimed as he shut the door close.

"Yeah, he is pretty well known. Him and his late wife." Chanyeol adjusted his tie. "You probably heard of them. My Boss is a fashion designer."

"What?! Fashion designer?!" Chanyeol nodded.

"His fashion line is known as the Dragons."

"Oh yeah…I've head of that line. They have nice suits."

Both Chanyeol and Tao started to head to the entrance of mansion. Chanyeol took out his key and turned the lock open. They had to walk bit to get to the actual main door. Tao was amazed at the garden walk way.

"Even though my boss has like 4 houses around the world, he is mostly here in Korea." Chanyeol proceeded to tell about his boss to Tao, but he was distracted with the beautiful flowers and statues. Once they were near the main door, Chanyeol opened it and Tao’s jaw dropped.

“These are white granite floor tiles?!” He squatted down to get a better look at the tiles. “They are…so beautiful!!”

Tao stood up and glanced around; it was so beautiful and he was sort of getting envious of Chanyeol’s Boss. As they were walking, Tao stopped to gaze upon a painting.

“Oh! I know that one!”

Chanyeol stopped and walked back to where Tao was standing. “Oh that. Yeah, my Boss’s late wife painted that.” Tao’s eyes widen. “She was a famous painter and piano player, but she is mostly known for her art works.” Chanyeol looked at Tao and was slightly worried. He was afraid that his eyes might pop out of his socket. “T-Tao?”

“You are telling me that we are in the house of the famous painter, Tai?!”

“Erm, yeah? Tai was my Boss’s late wife. How did you know that?”

Tao couldn’t breathe. He was far to excited that he was in the house of the famous painter and piano player, Tai. “I’ve seen her paintings in a magazine once and ever since I would collect all the magazines that featured her paintings.” He started to clap. “She is my favorite artist of all time!”

Chanyeol chuckled and gestured Tao to follow him to the living room. On there way, Tao had a hard time keeping up with him. There were paintings everywhere made by his favorite artist. It was just a shame that she pasted away; he would have been excited to actually meet her in person.

In the living room, Tao was even more impressed. The whole place was filled with modern furniture plus a few paintings made by Tai and a few made by Picasso.

“This…I swear is --”

Tao was cut off when he felt something hit his legs. He immediately looked down to see a young boy with black hair looking up at him.

‘Oh?’

The boy looked like a tiny panda due to his eyes. To Tao he was absolutely adorable.

“Hello there.” Tao waved at the young boy. However, the young boy stared at Tao, tilting his head as if studying him.

“Yitao!”

The young boy, Yitao, quickly turned his head and sprinted off. Soon, a nanny appeared, out of breath; she placed her hands on her knees and tried to inhale as much air as she can.

“H-Have you s-seen…” She coughed. “Yi-Yitao?”

Chanyeol nodded and pointed at the direction where Yitao went. The nanny grew furious.

“Tell Sir that I quit! I can’t handle that kid!” She stopped off towards the stairs.

Chanyeol sighed and shook his head. “That is the 10th nanny this month.”

“What?! You can’t be serious?!” Tao was utterly surprised. How can a young boy cause so many problems? He would have thought that the kid was well behaved judging from where he is living.

“Erm, well…” Chanyeol explained to Tao about the young boy. The thing is he doesn’t speak, to anyone. Ever since his mother died two years ago, he hasn’t spoken a word. Since his father, Chanyeol’s Boss, was way to busy with his work, Yitao was always placed in the care of nannies. The nannies always had a problem with the young boy; they found it irritating that he doesn’t speak or listen to them. They wouldn’t know if they are making Yitao happy or not. One nanny gave Yitao his food, but he just pushed the plate from the table, making it crash on the granite floors. The nanny tried to make something for Yitao to eat, but he wouldn’t say what he wanted. Whenever getting Yitao dressed, it was a frustrating since Yitao would push them away. Nannies just find it easier to quit.

“Oh…” Tao felt sort of sorry for the child since he lost his mother at a young age and sorry for the nannies. It must be hard.

“Yeah, Boss wanted to have two nannies this time to keep a close eye on his son, but…” Chanyeol scratched the back of his head. “I guess that won’t happen. Follow me; Boss’s office is over here.”

They walked down the hall, passing by more paintings and picture frames of the family. Tao didn’t quite pay attention to the pictures, but more of the paintings. Soon the came across glass double doors. Chanyeol knocked on the door and entered inside. Tao followed; he looked around the office that was filled with shelves of books, plants on the side and big Mac computer on the desk. Sadly, he couldn’t see the Boss fully, only the back of the black leather office chair.

“Boss…I brought someone here to take on that nanny job, but…” Chanyeol rubbed the back of his neck. “It seems that the other nanny decided to quit. She is getting her stuff and is about to leave.”

The man turned in his office chair, but didn‘t even take a glance at people before him. Tao was surprised that the man before was really good looking. He shook the feeling away and stood up straight.

‘Good impression Tao. Good impression.’

The man sighed. “I had a feeling. Alright then.” He placed the papers on the side. “Bring her in.”

Tao furrowed his brow. ‘Oh right…nannies are typically women. He’ll be surprised.’

“Boss…um, it‘s actually bring ‘him‘ in.”

The man before them quickly looked up and saw Tao. “Male…Chanyeol.” The man leaned back in his chair. “He knows that nanny is typically for women. Is he…gender confused or something?”

Tao blushed. ’I am not gender confused!!’

“I’m 100% male!!” Tao was slightly mad at the man before him. He was 100% male and of course he knew about it, but he didn’t care. It is for Luhan and Yixing. 

“Clearly you are gender confused.”

“What?! No! I’m --”

“K-Kris come on…he needs a job. He will work hard. Right Tao?” He nudged Tao.

“Yeah. I will.” Tao grumbled.

“Fine. Leave Chanyeol. I’ll ask him some questions and get the car ready too.” Kris placed some papers in a folder. “I need to be at the Epitome Building to meet up with Jihwan and Chaerin.”

Chanyeol nodded and mouthed towards Tao ’good luck’. Tao gave a worried glance, but nodded back. He left the room, making Tao slightly nervous. He just raised his voice at his, hopefully, boss.

“So Tao,” Kris opened his brief case and inserted his papers inside. “Why a nanny.”

“Um, I need the money…to help my siblings.” Tao shifted a little.

“Hm, got fired from your last job?”

“No…I want to earn more money. Both of my siblings are in the hospital…and my father is already elderly and he can’t cover most of the hospital bills and stuff. I just want to get more money so I can send them to China. You know...help out.”

“Oh, they live in China?”

“Y-yeah.”

“Oh.” Kris closed his briefcase. “You have any experience with children?”

“Um…I’m the youngest in my family so --”

“So that would be a no then.”

“B-but, I can learn! Um, I was trained in martial arts, I can protect him --”

“I don’t need him to be protected…I’m asking if you can take care of him. Cook. Take care of him if he is sick. --”

“I’ll try my best! I promise! Just give me a chance!!”

Kris glanced at him with an indifferent expression. He stood up, holding onto his briefcase. “7am sharp.”

“W-what?”

“7 Am. I have no choice since my son doesn’t have a nanny now. You will do.” He started to walk around the desk. “The pay is roughly around 500,000.0 won every other month.”

“T-that’s the pay?”

“Yes. And you live close?”

Tao shook his head. “I live quite a ways from here. I have to travel by public bus to Chanyeol’s apartment. And that is…hm, about 20 minutes or so to get to his apartment.”

“Hm,” Kris placed his hand on his chin. “Guess that means you will be staying here then.”

“What?!”

“Please…do yell even louder.” Kris said sarcastically. “You will be staying here. It will take too long for you to arrive.” Kris walked by Tao, to his glass double doors.

“B-but my other job and my apartment --”

“Quit then and move.” Kris looked over his shoulder. “I’m guessing my pay is more right? Plus, you will live here for free. All I ask is for you to is to take care of my son.”

“Um…I…” Tao had no words. He got the job and the pay was excellent. Better than his old job, but it would mean that he would have to quit his job and move to live with this man and take care of his kid.

“Look,” Tao looked up to see Kris glancing at his watch. “I have to go. I expect you to start at 7am, preparing my son his breakfast. Take this time to get your stuff and quit your job et cetera. My other chauffeur, Chen, will give you a ride back since I need Chanyeol. You will find him in the kitchen. ” With that Kris opened his office door and left.

“R-right.”

‘Baekhyun was right…he is sorta apathetic’ Tao sighed. ‘But I gotta do it! For Luhan and Yixing!’

And so...it begins.

mistakes = I'm sorry ; ^ ;

And sorry if it doesn't make any sense TT _ TT 1:14am here

500000.0 South Korean Won ~ 458.4422 US Dollar

500000.0 South Korean Won ~ 2862.8350 Chinese Yuan

^ used money converter that this is what it told me. So, I apologize if it is wrong ; ^ ;

oh well...thats okay ^_^ at least i know now :D v(>U<)v

//rolls around

**March 3, 13:  I was informed that Tao is getting paid a really low amount. Korean nannies get 2 million won. I learned something new today! :D  ^-^; my bad, I should have done more research on it. i was thinking of nannies here in america i guess - then again, im unsure how much nannies make here in the states...i just think that $458 is a lot for a nanny. so, to that, i apologize and i know what i did wrong. for the sake of the story, just let it be. xD

**February 05, 14: Ah-ha! someone told me now! ...for the actual earnings. anyway, i was told that it is 3,000 USD a month that nannies get, while the payment that i have is more for babysitters (so, you can do the conversion on your own for Won) so now we all know. HOWEVER, considering that it is already over and for the sake of it, just let it be (for the one that i have). if it greatly bothers you, then ignore it, because really, it is about the characters for the majority of the fic, but now we know and our knowledge has been expanded! SAY YES TO KNOWLEDGE!!
