one-shots of fluff, angst and smut, set in canon verse

a bowl of kalguksu and some repressed memories

If I tell you I thought of this while doing dishes and realizing how my brother who NEVER does them, ended up putting the plates in the wrong places, I am pretty sure you will think I am weird. You won't be alone because I think so too.

Anyways.... it is set in the canonverse and I don't mention the reason behind their separation, honestly I couldn't think of one, but I guess I didn't need one to write this.

Seokjin is in a relationship with an original character when this story takes place. I just gave that a guy a random name, he isn't meant to represent/allude to any real person, and there will be descriptions of them engaging in sexual activities, so if it is not to your liking please do not read this.

Lastly, this is purely fictional even as it draws from real life events that happened in the Bangtan canonverse. So only read if you can distinguish fiction from reality.

It is early October, and Seokjin has somehow managed to squeeze in an entire day with his boyfriend in his packed schedule. Minso arrives around 11am, and they plan to have Seokjin's kalguksu for lunch. After making it for the members in In The Soop, Seokjin has become some sort of an expert in preparing this elaborate noodle dish.

It doesn't take him long to have two steaming bowls of the knife cut noodles in a tasty broth ready. As they settle down, Minso taking a seat across from Seokjin, the former says something that makes him think of a young man with deep eyes and an even deeper voice.

"Why isn't there any pepper in the soup? You know I like my guksu with a kick."

"There aren't any peppers in my bowl."

"Of course there aren't any, I didn't put any on purpose."

"Ohh! It must have slipped my mind. Sorry! Do you want me to get you some?"

"No it is ok Seokjin-ah, i will just grab some and be right back. You can start, don't wait for me, otherwise the noodles will get soggy."

Seokjin just nods his head, unable to keep that voice and that specific day from their stay in the ITS mansion away from his mind. He sighs, and gets back to starting on the noodles he made with much effort.

Minso is back after adding his preferred amount of pepper to get that 'kick' and they have their meal with a comforting silence engulfing them.

After both of them are done, Minso shoos Seokjin away, telling him to prep the living room for their movie marathon and get some snacks, as he does the dishes.

Seokjin smiles and goes into his bedroom to get extra plushies, blankets and after dumping them near his sofa, he goes back to the kitchen to get bowls and glasses for snacks and maybe some ill advised day drinking.

Minso is at the sink, washing away the soap bubbles and then putting them in the rack. It's such a small thing, but maybe it's because of the pepper thing earlier and the fact that he is suddenly reminiscing about a time when 'they' were still together, that even the manner in which Minso arranged the bowls, side plates, spoons and other things on the rack has Seokjin thinking about how despite the fact that Minso has been to Seokjin's house a few times and helped in the kitchen, he is yet to acquire a familiarity one gets only after living there for years.

The bowls are in the wrong section, spoons don't go there, the side plates have to be kept vertically.... 'He' knew these things, he knew them because he used to wash the dishes more often than Seokjin.
