The imperfect moment was perfectly ruined by the sound of a doorbell,
"Seems like your visitors are here", I hesitatingly said, breaking the eye contact battle.
"this early??? Its just 11 hello", he gave an annoyed expression on the Interruption of his excitement for showing me whatever we were supposed to see before the hot tension between us.
As he started walking towards the door, I stooped him, "Mr pancake chef, I'm sure you don't want to be the host in this",
I closed the gap between us while raising my heels to reach his head as he stooped low to my level.. Unable to process my sudden actions.
I took off a string from above his head and almost hugged him for three seconds to open a a knot behind him.
"Here", I pointed at the apron which, I, then proceeded to neatly fold as he moved towards the door to hide the blush on his cheeks which he acquired because of me.

The door opened to reveal Mina, surprising Yunho with an unforeseen hug, followed by a familiar face...
Y/N's pov
I was folding Yunho's apron thinking about the moment we shared as the door opened revealing Mina, who instantly ruined my mood by hugging Yunho.
I mean.. Hadn't you broken up with him??
But the unfamiliar sight of a face, recognizable even to me, took me by surprise...
The guy from yesterday... Tea.. No.. V?
What is he doing here?
The duo walked further in, followed by Yunho not yet closing the door, walking in a greater speed as he stationed himself next to me.
"same clothes"... "Did you guys spend the night together?", Mina inquired with eyes flashing in contempt directed towards me.
But Yunho answered, "No no she just happened to stay at me place."
Like what's the difference bruh.
I pressed my lips in the shape of a smile and turned towards Taehyung who seemed to be not having any of Mina's shit.
He was rather staring at Yunho with tranquil eyes before moving them towards me, giving a slight smile.
He broke the guilt-silence saying,
"Are you his girlfriend?"
Wow so now there is one person who needs to be informed of the fact that me and Yunho are dating, and one person whom I don't wanna break it to.
I looked at Yunho who looked at mina who had been looking at the questioner for a few seconds now and returned her eyes back at Yunho who suddenly averted his eyes to me widening them and I was finally obliged to say, "Yeah"
Taehyung didn't seem to be angered by my response, rather he looked impressed because of the slight smirk he showcased.
What a wierdo, I thought.
Right then another female entered the apartment, finally closing the door.. Seeing her made me feel at ease.
"Oh Y/N, you're here too?", Jerry said with wide eyes.
"Me, Mina and Jerry were...have been best friends since sub junior. Mina told me about having a reunion today...
But I didn't think it'd be so early", Yunho cared about giving an explanation to me.
Oh so... The call he received this morning was from Mina..
Also.. The pancakes.. He was making them for all of us and not only Me.
"and this is my brother, Taehyung, he just brought me here cause I can't drive", Jerry added.
"Oh she knows me", Taehyung smirked which made Yunho unintentionally flinch a bit.
"I smell pancakes... Hmmm", Mina wandered in the kitchen as if she's the owner of the place.
Well maybe she is something of that sort...
Yunho and Jerry followed her leaving me and Taehyung alone in the living room.
The silence was broken by the latter saying,
"The scene from here is.. Pretty", to which I nodded.
"You seem uncomfortable", he continued the very next statement.
"No its just that..."
"Wanna get out of here?", he cut me mid sentence asking the same question as last night, except, he was now, smiling at me.
"I'll just go home. ", I answered.
I got up from my seat, walking to the kitchen and picking up my bag,
"I'll get going then.."
"But have some pan-", Yunho was cut off my Mina who eagerly said, "okay.. bye"
I could hear Taehyung silently chuckling at Mina's rude response which made me feel a little humiliated.
Jerry interrupted, "You can stay", of which I had no intention to.
Amidst the short farewell, Yunho looked concerned, but he still chose to stand by Mina, who was almost holding onto his arm.
I left the room with a heavy heart constantly telling myself, "it's okay", until I hear the shuffling behind me caused by Taehyung getting up from his seat following me outside.
"Nor do I intent to stay with those boring people", he went past me saying the words.
"I'll go by myself", I said.
"I never asked to drop you", he calmly said without looking at me as we stood next to each other waiting for the elevator door to open.
Great.
As the door opened, a sight of Yunho was seen approaching us as Taehyung stood inside the elevator.
"Stay for a little, I'll drop you home", he panted from running.
"I dont think you should leave the guests unattended.. I'll just take the bus", I smiled at him to make him feel at ease which might not have looked natural at all because I felt Taehyung looking at me indirectly reading my face.
"About the thing, I wanted to show you-", Yunho started but was cut off mid sentence by me, who's heart felt like is sinking deeper and deeper with every second.
"There's always a next time."
"Bye for now... Go in.. You shouldn't keep them waiting", I hurried with my goodbye as I saw with my side eye that Taehyung had pressed the delay button.
"But I'll drop y-",
"I'll drop y/n", Yunho was again cut by Taehyung who peeped out of the elevator as he continued looking at me,
"if this shit goes down, you'll have to wait another seven minutes."
I nodded at Taehyung and bid a final goodbye to Yunho who stood there unmoving.. As if his heart was as heavy as mine.
I got in with Taehyung and the elevator doors closed.
Silence enveloped us again, but unlike the silence around Yunho, this one seemed more comfortable.
At one hand, I was glad Taehyung didn't ask me what the matter was.. Even after looking at me with such judgemental looks..
But on the other hand, there was still a twenty minute ride left to be conquered..
