IT IS HERE, FINALLY

---

"I love Kung Fu panda, I've seen all of them so many times, yet I never get bored" I muse from my seat on the couch as Seokjin puts the disc into the CD player beneath his tv.

He hums with a pleased smile on his face before turning around to face me as the movie loads. "Fate chose well then, because I'm the same. Some movies I could watch over and over again without a problem, they're just that good".

With the gain of a new knowledge of something that we share in common, I smile happily before making myself more comfortable on my seat as he comes to sit besides me, controllers in hands so he can get everything started, and the smell that floats around us from the kitchen is so appetizing that my stomach expresses its hunger with a loud grumble that makes me blush brightly.

I feel his gaze fall on me with amusement and I try my best to ignore him as I keep my own locked on the tv, this is so embarrassing! It definitely sounded like the cry of a dinosaur and I cannot believe it had to happen in front of him.

"Don't worry, dear, I take that as a compliment, the smell is making my stomach act like a brat too, you just can't hear it. It shouldn't be too long before the food is ready, you'll have to be patient for just a little longer" he coos before humming sweetly as he changes the movie's settings, and when he presses on play, Seokjin then puts the controllers on the coffee table before standing up to reach the kitchen.

"Just as I thought. Seven little minutes left, I could get it out now but the wait will be worth it, let's wait some more" he speaks confidently before coming back to the living room and I nod, excited to eat what he's prepared. It looked so delicious and I know that the taste will be even better, just like everything that he makes.

I should try to find some new recipes soon so that I can impress him too. Maybe I could bring the results to work, or I could even invite him over, my way of thanking him for everything that he's done for me so far. That would be the polite thing to do, right? I can't let him do all the work all the time.

Despite knowing the whole movie by heart from all the times when I would watch it with my siblings, my attention is immediately brought to the tv when the first scene finally begins and Seokjin chuckles softly before doing the same as he sits back in his chosen spot, our proximity doing things to his falling-in-love heart.

It's hard for him to watch the movie when I'm here, in his home, right by his side, but he does his best to focus on the distraction that he thought of to make me feel better anyway, the sight of my tears one that makes him want to fight everything bad in this world, he never wants to see me cry like I did earlier, never again.

There's not a lot that happens by the time the oven's timer notifies us that the food is ready and Seokjin stands up quickly to head back into the kitchen while I stretch to grab the tv's controller so I can pause the movie, it wouldn't be fair to let it keep playing when he's not even watching it anymore.

"I really hope you like what I made, Y/N, because the food is looking scrumptious. Maybe it's because you're here, but even the smell makes me salivate more than usual" I hear him state as he puts everything on two plates for us, and I release a shy smile as I wait, could my presence really do that?

"Anything you make is delicious, Seokjin, I'm sure I will love this as well. Hungry as I am, I'd honestly eat anything right now" I admit easily, to which he laughs with a hum, he's not surprised but it sure feels good to hear that from me.

He comes back soon enough with the plates in his hands, steam rising from them as the crispy avocado bacon fries grace my eyes - never have I seen food so enticing before, that looks so good and I can't wait to have a taste!
