Hateno Village

*That was supposed to be “should have something nice to wear” not “nothing”

@Park Jimin (Hylian) Taehyung has been boxing up old, out of style merchandise when he heard the door bell ring. These old clothes would be bundled up and taken to the orphanage. The lady of the shop, Taehyung’s aunt, believed that even the homeless children should have nothing nice to wear. She believed it only to the point that they’d receive nice clothes only once they were out of fashion to those who could afford to pay for it. Taehyung felt it made a mockery of them, as it nothing screamed poor, homeless child more than them running around in clothes that were obviously dig out of the clothing shop’s waste. At least it was better than letting them romp around in tattered rags which did very little to shield them from the harsh winter weather.

A voice called. Pleasant and familiar, and Taehyung stopped what he was doing, thankful to have an excuse to interact with another human instead of doing the dirty work of the shop—there was nothing difficult about it, but it was Taehyung’s least favorite part of the job. “Jimin,” Taehyung greeted the customer with his go-to friendly smile. There was a special smile for his favorite customer. “What brings you here on this cold winter morning?” Taehyung crossed his arms over his chest, shielding himself from the cold air that Jimin brought in with him when he opened the door.

@Kim Taehyung (Hylian) Jimin always has an excuse to visit the clothing shop in Hateno village. Excuse number one: he lived there. Excuse number two: he was a traveler and a fighter, so armor was important. Excuse number three: his armor always needed repair. Something needed to be sewed or a button needed to be put back. It was never about the boy who ran the store with his aunt. Of course not.

Today, Jimin came because he needed his sleeve patched where he had been cut during a fight. He didn’t see anyone immediately when he walked in, so he called out. “Hello? Anyone here?” He hopes that Taehyung would come out instead of his aunt.
