See Ya at 7, baby

"What the fuck"

You scrolled through the post, before groaning in annoyance, "This is bullshit"

"Talk about it", Taemin said from the other end. He had woken you up at 6 in the morning with a call about some pressing news. After you had swallowed the initial urge to strangle him through your phone, he lead you to open your laptop, which was in the kitchen, and read an article he sent you prior.

Y/N L/N AND LEE TAEMIN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

The title itself was so ridiculous that you almost choked on your own saliva when you saw it. The article had been published just an hour prior, complete with a picture of the two of you at Ncity, giving each other your food and sharing it.

"One of those journalists followed us", you said, scrolling through the article, which seemed to make up content as it went. "Oh did you know we kissed apparently?"

"Must have been a fever dream", Taemin mused, "Because funnily enough, I don't remember that happening."

"Neither do I", you shut your laptop, "We're dating now apparently"

"Oh yes, meet you at seven today baby"

"Don't ever do that again"

He chuckled, "Bye"

And with that he ended the call. You sighed, wondering how the two of you were supposed to get out of a possible dating scandal.

It wasn't as bad for you, considering you were a chef. A celebrity chef, but just a chef after all. Taemin was a musician, he had fans that would probably react to this, good or bad, he would have to find out. It could damage his career, but then again, he seemed pretty cool about the situation.

You looked up from the counter, eyes falling on the salt shaker in front of you.

A face flitted through your memories, one that you were slowly starting to despise. Taeyong's sharp gaze seemed to have a hold on you even when you weren't around him. You had met him a grand total of two times and yet, he had somehow made an impact.

You didn't like it.
