Two kings | Taegyu

"Heyyyy Beomgyu~" Taehyun called out, peaking his head into his room.

"Hm?" Beomgyu questions, taking a look behind him. He was holding his sketchbook close to his chest, hiding the sketch he's making.

"I wanted to make dinner. And I remembered what you said.." He smiled, waiting for Beomgyu's reaction.

The East prince gasped, knowing exactly what he meant. "And..?"

"Let's make dinner together, Gyu." He held out his hand for Beomgyu to take.

Beomgyu immediately threw his sketchbook and jumped off the bed, running into Taehyun's arms. "Yes! Let's go!"

They then walked hand in hand, all the way to the kitchen.

"Flour, salt, and water please." Taehyun says, holding a mixing bowl.

"Okay!" Beomgyu pours the pre-measured flour, salt, and water into the bowl.

Taehyun then mixes it up with his strong arm. When it was done, they have created dough! "Here you go." Taehyun split the dough in half and gave half to Beomgyu.

"Hm?" Beomgyu tilts his head in confusion, not knowing what to do.

"Follow my lead." Taehyun smiles. He sprinkles flour onto the counter then splits the half of the half in half and kneads one of the half doughs on top of the flour. (Basically there should be four balls once Beomgyu's half is split in half. Wow, that's a lot of halves.)

Beomgyu follows Taehyun's instructions carefully and does what he's told.

Now there's four balls of dough!

"Next, we flatten the dough." Taehyun explains. He smashed the dough down with the palm of his hand.

Beomgyu follows along and imitates Taehyun's actions.

"Next, we flatten it thinner with this rolling pin." Taehyun hands Beomgyu a small rolling pin.

They sprinkle more flour onto their rolling pins and easily roll out the dough with their non sticking rolling pins.

There's now flat dough on the counter. "Okay. Now notice how it's multiple flat blobs on the counter instead of one giant flat blob? This is how you easily cut the dough out." Taehyun grabs a small knife and cuts the dough into many many squares.

"Ooo~ So cool." Beomgyu watched, admirably.

"Now that they're squares, they're dumpling wrappers!" Taehyun claps. Beomgyu nods excitedly and claps too. "Now we must make the dumpling's filling."

Beomgyu hums and takes out the ingredients for the filling. Ground pork, salt, pepper, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions. (I'm not that healthy so they don't get healthy either.)

Taehyun mixed the ingredients together and they awesomely made the filling!

"Now, let's make these dumplings." Taehyun says, grabbing a scoop of the filling and putting it on one of the dumpling wrappers they made earlier.

Beomgyu watched as he shaped the dumping then started to do it himself as well.

Around 30 minutes later, they finished making all the dumplings.

"Oo, your dumplings are really pretty, Beomie." Taehyun compliments. "They're even better than mine. They're my favorites."

Beomgyu shyly smiled. "Yours are pretty too, my master chef." He giggles.

Taehyun giggles as well and kissed Beomgyu's cheek. "Ready to cook them up?"

"Ready." Beomgyu nods.

They fry the dumplings in a pan til they turn golden brown and then steam it a bit to make them softer.

And then they eat it.

That was cooking with Taegyu, see you in the next episode! Peace out ✌️

(Haha, joke! Just joke!)
