Always By Your Side | TAEJINKOOK ✔

ELEVEN

Third Person POV:

Yoongi eyed Taehyung sitting across him cupping his face while giving Yoongi a weird but playful expression as if he’s trying to read what’s running on Yoongi’s mind.

“There’s seriously no point of staying here with you.” Yoongi spats as he stood up, he heard Taehyung chuckled, he then turns around.

“Just stay seated there and don’t go anywhere, don’t do anything, don’t look around. I’m going to check on him.” Yoongi reminds as Taehyung keeps on looking around the living room.

Yoongi knows Seok Jin so much, he can read Seok Jin easily and aside from Jung Kook he is Seok Jin’s only comfort but he is having a thoughts now about Taehyung.

I’m not a dog why is he telling me to sit still? Even dogs are free to look around. Taehyung thought as he knitted his brows watching Yoongi disappear.

“How’s Taehyung?”

“How’s the cake?”

Yoongi looks at Seok Jin as he felt betrayed, Seok Jin avoids his gaze immediately. “You don’t have to pretend in front of me, you know that, when its only us around we should only tell the truth right? That’s what Dad told us.”

Seok Jin sniff as he faced Yoongi who worriedly wiped his tears. “I love this place Yoongi, y-you know how much I love this place, its full of memories of the people close to my heart.”

“Dad, Mom, you and Jung Kook, you made this place even stronger with our memories.” Yoongi patted Seok Jin even if he heard the oven clicks as a sign that it is all fine to take out the breads.

“Treat Shot Spin is always been a good name, Mrs. Kim named it right. She’s a perfectionist Seok Jin, don’t be jealous for what I’m going to say next because it happened a long time ago and its not intentionally.”

“Dad told me how Mrs. Kim wants to make sure even if you grow up you will always be her baby, even if you become big as a fine man she wants you to pull at the swing, sing you a song that can bring comfort and takes you to a good place in your dream.”

“She wanted to treat you as her little one even if you grow old, she said that even if problem come to you, like a bullets to shot you and make you fall.”

“All she wanted is to be your vest who can protect you, she wants to experience the pain you are going to handle. She wants to experience it first to lessen the pain and take the shot instead.”

“And when you overcome those, of course your world will continue to spin and she’ll be the happiest to see you.”

“That’s what your Mom says that Mr. Kim said to me, they are the perfect parents. They are gone now but they left you a comfort place and words.”

“They are the people I will forever look up, they are my role model, I may not know Mrs. Kim based on Dad’s story but I know…”

“I know that she’s a good mother, your mother Seok Jin Hyung.” Seok Jin cries hard but he managed to control it by swallowing his sobs, not wanting to break down completely.

Breaking their hugs Seok Jin smile as he roamed his eyes around the kitchen area. "Mom and Dad made me and that's enough for me to look up at them, I will work by myself for the rest, I love them so much, even Mom that I didn't even got to see..."

“You painted it new, you didn’t remove the blues, I guess it’s really part of life then.” Seok Jin blurted out as he looks down.

“How’s Jung Kook? His company? His family? You?” Yoongi asked as he caressed Seok Jin’s shoulder.

Seok Jin was about to answer when Taehyung appeared with aprons on his hands.

“Help me wear this, I’ll go and take these fluffy breads out, they’re popping!” Taehyung said in a straight face but as soon as the bread was mentioned he squealed that quickly makes Yoongi’s soft side turned into the cold one again.

“I don’t really like you.” Yoongi said as Taehyung comes closer to him with his boxy smile.

Taehyung then changed into blank expression and looks at Seok Jin as he acts sulking, he handed the apron on his hands as he turned around. “Help me wear it, I don’t know how to do it, its so complicated with this annoying strings.” Seok Jin looks at Yoongi when he heard Yoongi sighs.

“What’s with that heave sigh? Are you disappointed that I didn’t respond to your confession just now?”

“Okay, here it is Yoongi-ah…”

“I feel the same!” Taehyung added as he sticks out his tongue as he hit Yoongi’s chest playfully.

“Will design and coat the breads, go and fix the table please?” Seok Jin said as he makes face to Yoongi trying to give him signal to just let Taehyung.

Seok Jin knows how short tempered Yoongi is even to their customers who couldn’t follow the time and date of their orders, the demanding customers would always get a complains from the owners when it’s Yoongi who are assigned to deliver the orders.

He has been doing that for months of Seok Jin’s absence because he needs to handle Jeon’s company on behalf of Jung Kook.

Yoongi gave Seok Jin another betrayed but defeated looks as he starts to walk away.

Taehyung felt Seok Jin’s breath hitting his cheeks as Seok Jin trapped his whole body to tie Taehyung's apron’s string. “Move your arms up.”

Taehyung shut his eyes as he lick his dried lips. “I’m sorry Seok Jin believe me I’m really trying to act normal around you but having you this close can makes my heart go crazy.”

“I want to turn around and kiss you–“

“Kim Taehyung I am married, shut up and stop speaking what’s on your mind.” Seok Jin said as he tighten the strings behind Taehyung that makes Taehyung groaned but he is thankful for the tension they had before they stepped inside the bakery calmed down.

Taehyung watch Seok Jin taking out the breads he then followed him and put it at the steel station. “I’ve never seen a flawless breads before! This is so cool I want my bed to be made by these–“

“So you want to be a toppings now? Cake topper will do, I can do that, we have a customer before who requests a customization of his ex-boyfriend who cheated on him.”

“Did you know what he had requests on us for the design?” Taehyung shook his head as he looks innocent at Seok Jin.

“He said he wanted the body to be separated and splatter it on top of the cake, he then delivered it to his ex-boyfriend’s house and then a day after they got back here ordering a cake for a celebration of them getting back together.”

Taehyung finds it interesting as he placed the breads in front of him while the remaining breads are on the waiting station as Seok Jin put it.
