"Taehyung you're making a mess"
"I'm trying Kook" Taehyung whined, as he tried to pour the flour into a bowl but it ended up going everywhere but the bowl.
He was only learning how to make flatbread, which is the easiest thing in the world; yet to him it was difficult.

"I think I'm not cut out to be a cook" Taehyung huffed as he tried rubbing the flour off his clothes, which just made it worse in the end.
"You haven't even tried yet, you can't give up, we've only just started" Jungkook snorted as he scooped the flour into the bowl.
"Well I don't see this working whatsoever, so let's give up"

"Come on Tae, don't be such a gloom, if you want get that tikka sauce and warm it up in the microwave, that's easy enough?"
"Okay sure" Tae grabbed the packet and was about to put it in the microwave.
"Wait wait, pour it into a dish first, you can't microwave it like that"
Taehyung turned a bright shade of red and huffed.
"I give up" Taehyung stomped away to god knows where.

Jungkook laughed to himself and made the food himself and decided he'll try again another day. He grilled some halloumi while he made the flatbread. Once done with that he spread the Tikka sauce on the flatbread and put the halloumi on top with salad.

He put it onto the table and walked off to find Taehyung. He walked around and saw him sulking in the living room.
"Come on you big baby, food is ready" Jungkook took the boys hand into his own and pulled him off the couch and dragged him to the table.

"Wow this looks so nice"
"Hm hopefully it'll give you more energy for you shift than if you ate some pot noodle" Jungkook sniggered as they sat down and ate.
Taehyung couldn't stop humming in satisfaction. Jungkook's cheeks warmed feeling comforted over the fact he was able to make a nice meal for Taehyung. And well Taehyung was loving every mouthful he had.

They ate in silence, just taking in the peace and the nice food they had. After cleaning up everything, Jungkook decided it was best if he went home and got ready for work. He wanted to freshen up properly although Taehyung didn't want him to go, he tried not to show it.

"Tonight, after work, we'll try it"
Taehyung nodded and said to him "can we do it here, so I have the sense of my own comfort too?"
"Of course we can" Jungkook ruffled the elders hair and brought him into a hug, keeping a hand in the boys hair and the other around Tae's waist.
Tae shoved his head into the junction of his neck and took it all in.

"I'll see you later okay" Jungkook kissed the elders forehead and left the apartment, to then go back to his own.
Taehyung sighed as he was alone once again. He loved being alone but now he hated it. He hated that now he was alone as now all he could think about was taking one sip.

He took a seat on the sofa and decided to watch some random programme. He sat still until his hands began to tremble and fiddle with one another. He drew out time long enough until he quickly ran upstairs and stumbled into a room. His eyes scanned over a few photos on the cabinet and his eyes squeezed shut. He deep sigh was released and he took a few sips from the bottle which was hidden under the bed.

He fucked up again, he's a fuck up, but why was he so guilty about doing what he thinks he does best, fucking up. Maybe it's because it's been so long since he had someone who he cared about, and maybe it wasn't good that he cared about someone's opinion so much.

Only a few he told himself, and it was only a few, he didn't want to drink a lot, he just wanted to fill the emptiness he was feeling. He finally decided to get ready for work and got himself there. He walked inside and all his employees were polishing the glasses.

"How are you all feeling?" Taehyung asked as he stopped in his tracks avoiding all eye contact with Jungkook.
"Good boss" they all said, although he knew himself that they probably feel the complete opposite, they look so tired and well... hungover.
There was a little pause until Taehyung muttered something.

"What was that boss?" Chan asked in pure confusion not hearing what he said.
"Go home, all of you. Have the next few days off, it's been a while since we've closed, take a couple of days off" Taehyung walked off to his office upstairs, leaving everyone else...stunned.

"Is he for real?" Chae queried.
"Uhm I assume so, when has he ever pulled a stunt like this?" Jackson shrugged before looking at Jungkook who was looking puzzled too.
"I'll be right back, for now just hang around" Jungkook muttered before running after him.

He strutted into the elders office and looked at the man who was sat on the seat with a glass on rum in his hand.
"What's going on?" Jungkook questioned.
Taehyung shrugged, "Go home."
"Go home? Home? Boss what are you saying? What's going on? Please, don't shut me out"
"Nothing, nothing is going on. There, now go home"
"Tsk you think I'm going to fall for that"

Jungkook walked over to the man. His hand fell onto the elders face, squishing his cheeks.
"Listen here, I'm not sure how many times I've got to tell you but, seriously Taehyung, how long is it going to take for you to understand I'm here for you. I don't care if you're heaving your guts out or if you're plastered from alcohol. I'm here, I fucking like you okay, and today was so much fun. But how many times are you going to keep pushing me away? I'm telling you I will be by your side no matter what. So now tell me, what's going on?"

"Y-you you like me?" Taehyung licked his lips as they began to dry out which made him look even more like a fish from Jungkook's hand.
"Is that all you heard out of all of that? I take it back if that's the case, I hate you"
"No no no, I heard the rest too, I like you a lot, so much baby"
"You do?" Jungkook gasped.
"Of course I do Kook, why wouldn't I? You're everything I'm not" Taehyung scoffed to himself.

"Don't say that" Jungkook kissed his forehead softly, "now stop ignoring me, what's wrong?" Jungkook sat on the elders desk and took Tae's hands into his own.
Taehyung huffed and looked around nervously.
"If I was to tell you, I'd have to tell you my whole story, and if I was to do that I don't want to do it here" Taehyung bit his bottom lip.

"Then let's go home like you suggested" Jungkook swung his legs softly while squeezing Tae's hands.
"Okay" Taehyung muttered, standing up and they walked out of the office after locking it.
"You're all still here?" Taehyung asked confused.
"Yes boss we weren't sure what to do" Minjun laughed awkwardly.

"Go home, have the next two days off. Business has being doing so well recently so go home and relax, I'll make sure you all get a week off soon." Taehyung demanded.
"Thank you so much boss" they all screamed happily before running out of the door before he could change his mind. 

"Look at Mr cold go soft" Jungkook teased.
"I'm not cold" Taehyung huffed.
"I know sweetie, I was only playing, now let's go back to yours" Jungkook sung and dragged the elder out of the bar.
They stuck a sign on the window saying they would be closed for the next two days and left.
