Heartless

A love so true

Yuri descended the stairs, her hands cradling her belly. As she entered the kitchen, her eyes widened in astonishment. The usually spotless room was in disarray, with utensils and ingredients scattered everywhere. But what caught her attention were the two men, Taehyung and Jungkook, standing amidst the chaos, frozen in a heated argument.

Taehyung had a spoon raised in mid-air, his face reddened with frustration. Jungkook stood with his arms crossed, a mischievous glint in his eye. Both men were covered in flour, with Taehyung's usually immaculate hair now disheveled.

Yuri's gaze darted between the two, her confusion evident. "What the fuck are you two doing?" she asked, trying to hide a smile.

The brothers paused, their faces locking onto Yuri. For a moment, they forgot about their argument, their expressions softening as they took in her radiant beauty. Taehyung, still holding the spoon, looked like a scolded child, while Jungkook had a hint of a grin, as if proud of the chaos they'd created.

"I know how to cook, it's just this idiot messing everything up!" Taehyung exclaimed, pointing the spoon at Jungkook.

Jungkook snorted, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "You? Cook? You're going to poison us all!"

Yuri couldn't help it, she burst into laughter, her hands cradling her belly as she doubled over. The brothers stared at her, their faces innocent, as if they didn't understand what was so funny.

Still chuckling, Yuri hopped onto the kitchen counter, her eyes shining with mirth. "You two are something else."

Taehyung and Jungkook exchanged a look, then began cleaning up the mess, their movements awkward as they tried to outdo each other. Jungkook snatched a carrot from the counter and took a big bite, crunching into it contentedly.

"Soo, what are you planning to do, huh?" Jungkook asked, his mouth full, as he glanced at Taehyung.

Taehyung's expression turned puzzled, his eyes narrowing. "What do you mean?"

Jungkook chewed slowly, a sly grin spreading across his face. "You asked me about the gift-"

Before he could finish, Taehyung smacked his head, making Jungkook choke on the carrot. Yuri's laughter stopped, replaced by concern as Jungkook's face turned bright red.

"Jungkook, are you okay?" she asked, jumping down from the counter.

Jungkook waved his hand, still coughing, as Taehyung helped him pat his back. "I...I'm fine."

Yuri shot Taehyung a curious glance. "What gift?"

Taehyung's face turned nonchalant, a bit too quickly. "Nothing, just...nothing."

Jungkook, still wheezing, gave Taehyung a knowing look, but said nothing, his eyes sparkling with secrets.

The kitchen fell silent, the only sound the soft clinking of dishes as they continued cleaning. Yuri watched her men, a mix of amusement and curiosity on her face. What were they hiding? And what gift was Jungkook talking about? She made a mental note to ask Taehyung later, when they were alone.

As they finished cleaning, Taehyung turned to Yuri, a charming smile on his face. "How about we order pizza? I think we've had enough cooking for today."

Yuri laughed, shaking her head. "That sounds like a great idea."

Jungkook, still snickering, patted Taehyung's back. "Yeah, before you poison us all."

Taehyung playfully rolled his eyes, as the three of them shared a warm, silly moment, the chaos of the kitchen forgotten.
