    Yuto was in the kitchen, powder on his face with an apron around his waist. He wasn't entirely sure how he ended up in this situation. One minute him and Akari were on the couch watching tv, the next he's in the kitchen with her and some halfway burnt cupcakes on the counter. "Yuto~ it was only supposed to be in there for thirty minutes~"

    He chuckled, shaking his head. He bent down to her level, smiling softly at her. She had her arms crossed, pouting up at him. "Hey, it's okay. It's only two in the afternoon. We can make some more." a big smile spread across her face, throwing her arms around him.

    "Okay!" he laughed, picking her up to sit on the counter. They started to make some more, Akari sticking her finger into the batter half the time. They had managed to make some more, putting them into the oven with the proper time on the timer. Yuto sighed, falling against her.

     "How could people do this all the time?" she laughed, messing with his hair. He smiled up at her.

     "Yuto?" he hummed, eating some of the left over batter. "Can i ask you something?" he nodded slowly, wondering what her young mind had to ask him. "Are you and Wooseok dating again?" he choked on the batter he had managed to scoop out. He quickly cleared his throat, putting the bowl down next to her.

     "What?" she shrugged, still messing with his hair.

     "The other day you were sleeping on him. That's something you do with your boyfriend." he snorted, shaking his head.

     "No, Akari. We aren't dating, and never were." she furrowed his brows.

     "Then how come he told dad you were?" Yuto sighed, turning to put his arms around her.

     "Because he..." he sighed, not knowing how to explain it to her. "Because we were playing around. He didn't mean it." she looked down at him, giving him a look.

     "I'm not stupid you know." he scoffed.

     "I never said you were." she rolled her eyes, shaking her head.

     "Well that sucks. You were cute together." he felt his cheeks heat up. He shook his head, pulling away from her.

     "No, it doesn't. And don't think we are together. It's never going to happen." she scoffed, glared at him. A knock on the door sounded, but at the same time the oven went off. Akari hopped off the counter, running to the door. He chuckled, taking the apron off.

     He opened the oven, pulling the tray of cupcakes out. He put them on the table, kicking the door closed with his foot. He was going to go clean up, when Akari came running into the room. "Yuto! Look who came over!" he looked up, locking eyes with Wooseok.

     The taller was laughing, taking in his appearance. Yuto rolled his eyes, looking at Akari. He gave her the really? Look, but she only smiled widely. She pulled him into the kitchen, sitting him on the stool. "We were making some cupcakes." he smiled at her.

     "What kind?" Yuto crossed his arms, leaning against the sink. They started to talk, leaving him out of the conversation. He sighed, standing right.

     "I'm going to go change." they looked at him. "Wait to do the icing until i come back." she nodded, turning to talk to him again. Yuto could feel the tallers gaze on him. He tried to ignore the loud beating in his ears.

     He walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a towel. The water from the shower was clinging to his skin, the fresh air making him shiver. He walked to his room, throwing on some sweats. He contemplated putting on a shirt, and thought screw it.
