6.Someone who's you

Author's pov

"Now add sesame oil, and then soy sauce" Taehyung said and you did as he told you to.

"Add the vegetables" he said and you huffed slightly, only to get your head hit for the tenth time with the silver spoon Taehyung had in his hand.

"Alien, that hurts!" you exclaimed but he was just fully concentrated on how the japchae was coming along.

Rolling your eyes, you finished the final steps and placed the japchae in a bowl.

Placing the bowl on the table, you wiped the sweat of your forehead while Taehyung sat on the chair.

Placing the food inside his mouth, he chewed it slowly with closed eyes and you scoffed at him behaving like an alien before swallowing the food.

His eyes opened and a boxy grin appeared on his blank face as he gave you a thumbs up.

"Kim Taehyung, you're unpredictable" you replied while tasting your own food from his bowl.

You sighed in contentment as you chewed the food.

"Why am I so great at cooking?" you asked and fanned yourself, making Taehyung blankly blink his eyes exactly twice.

Shrugging his shoulders, he continued to eat the japchae which was prepared by you for lunch.

Placing the japchae in another bowl for yourself, you were about to eat the food.

"Can I make Tannie taste this?" you asked Taehyung whose mouth was stuffed with food, making his cheeks puffed.

(A/n: What a cute sight to see)

And of course, he resembled a giant baby.

Nodding his head blankly again, Taehyung went back to eating.

Letting Yeontan taste some japchae from his very own bowl, you went back to yours.

"Nothing will happen, right?" you asked Taehyung while staring at the puppy who was eating the japchae made by you.

"Yeah" Taehyung assured with a boxy smile. "You're going to take responsibility if something happens anyway" he shrugged and you hit his shoulder.

"Stop hitting my shoulder" Taehyung whined like a kid as he moved his hand.

But, again. Once again, he did it.

Eyes widened again, a shocked and panicking expression on his face once again. And that never-leaving innocence of him of course.

"Stop hitting my breasts" you spoke through gritted teeth and he pouted while looking down at his lap.

"How am I going to survive this lockdown with you?" you mumbled under your breath and shook your head in disbelief while he still had this cute and innocent look on his face.

And then you decided to keep yourself away from this alien because he's just too cute. And cuteness is contagious.

"Dish washing fairy Kim Taehyung, the master of my cooking lessons, you may do the dishes now" you stated bluntly while getting up from the chair.

It was not his work to do the dishes. Nevertheless, he started doing the dishes like always.

Too lazy to even climb upstairs to your own bed, you just fell on Taehyung's bed.

Face buried in his pillow as you made yourself comfortable on his mattress aka your ex-mattress.

Taehyung didn't seem to mind as he just continued washing the dishes.

A few minutes passed as you just laid on his bed in silence.

"Mong-Tae, do you have an ideal type?" you asked, breaking the silence when Taehyung just finished washing the last bowl.

Turning back as he wiped his hands with the towel, he nodded while facing you.

"Really? So tell me" you asked curiously, laying on the bed by your side as you rested your head in your palm with your elbow propped up on the pillow.

Exhaling a little, Taehyung slowly walked forward after placing aside the towel on the table.

"A kind and compassionate woman. Even better if she talks nicely too. It doesn't matter if she's not beautiful" he added with a smile.

He sat beside you on the bed and continued.

"Someone who takes care of herself mentally. Someone who appears to be cold at first, but actually has a warm heart" he finished as he laid beside you on the bed.

He slowly wrapped his arms around your figure.

Neither of you conscious about your moments as you wrapped your arms around his waist.

His nose tip brushing against yours as you inhaled his scent along with the smell of his aveeno stress relief lotion.

"Someone who's you" he said in a deep voice.

And that moment was when it hit you. He was talking about your own self the whole time. You doubted if he was really the Taehyung you know.

The baby bear you knew, was always the timid and shy one whom you loved to annoy. But now, his innocence and cuteness, long gone with the wind.

What you saw in his eyes right now, it was something you've never seen in him before.

You agree that his voice always deep, though it sounded cute all the time.

Even when he spoke right now, he possessed the same deep voice. But lacking the cuteness.

Before you could even realize, his hot breath was softly fanning your lips.

"Wait" you said softly and Taehyung continued staring into your eyes. "You said that it doesn't matter if she's not beautiful. So do you mean that I'm not beautiful?" you asked, still in a low tone while raising one of your eyebrows at him.

"Just forget that I said that part" he said in a husky voice. "You're always too beautiful to be real" he added and pecked the tip of your nose.

Kissing your forehead, he closed his eyes like how you did when you felt his lips against your skin.

Returning back to brush his nose tip against yours, he leaned in more closer to your lips.

Both of you had your eyes closed, leaning in towards each other's lips. Waiting for the moment your lips would meet his as he swallows them wholly.

When his breath gets tangled with yours as you forget whether to breathe oxygen or his addictive scent.

Your lips were about to get captured by him when-

Yeontan yelped as he ran around the room.

You and Taehyung pulled back, coming out of your trances as you both realized what was just about to happen.

Taehyung blinked exactly twice as he stared at the floor with a slightly shocked expression on his face. His cuteness and innocence returned back to him.

And you were blankly staring at the floor.

"Shiitake mushrooms" you mumbled to yourself.
