Love at First Crunch | SooKai

27

"This party is really nice Jimin." Yeonjun complimented. It was a rare occasion when all Kai, Soobin, Yeonjun, Taehyun, Beomgyu, Jimin, and Jungkook sat at the same table.

"Thank you" Jimin accepted the praise (?)

"And my hyung did such a good job with the flowers" Kais brother complex let out.

"I think it's kind of interesting how alike the brothers [Jungkook and Kai/Jimin and Soobin] are" Taehyun suddenly spoke up.

"What do you mean?" Kai asked a bit perplexed.

"Well, Jungkook and Kai are both really kind, and Jimin and Soobin- ah well. You get the point" Taehyun waved his hand momentarily in hoped of dismissing this topic altogether now, but Jimin wasn't going to let that happen.

"No, I don't get the point actually Hyunny, care to explain?" Jimin stared straight at Taehyun with cat-like eyes.

"I-I..." Without warning, Taehyun abruptly dashed out of his seat. The action was so suddenly and rushed that Taehyun somehow managed to spill his drink and knock his chair over. He was running who knows where, and Jimin was right behind him. Amongst this chaos, Jimin accidentally bumped into a flower vase, spilling it over and breaking it. The host didn't even notice it because he was off after Taehyun before the vase even hit the marble floor.

"I have to go take care of that" Jungkook said with a sigh while standing up.

"Hyung, bring me a piece of cake when you get back" Kai smiled sweetly and batted his eyelashes, but his older brother wasn't affected.

"You have the runway in like an hour. Jimin said no sweets until after" Kai gasped.

"Yeonjun literally has three slices of cake and like fifteen cake pops on his plate, but I can't have a slice of cake"

"Yeonjun doesn't have to walk a runway" Jungkook took his leave to take care of the flower vase.

"I'm still getting cake, I have to wait until the coast is clear though" Kai whispered to Soobin.

"Okay, I'll come with you"

"No, you're too tall and you're wearing a cheap work uniform, you draw too much attention. This needs to be a job done on the down low"

"Huening Kai you are the most dramatic person ever," Beomgyu said, but neither Soobin or Kai spared him a glance and continued their conversation.

"Y-You're gonna leave me here?" Soobin stuttered.

"Yeah only for a little bit- oh, are you not comfortable around Yeonjun and Beomgyu?" Soobin honestly was, but he didn't want to let Kai know that. He's part of Huening's life know, and that means being around Yeonjun and Beomgyu; he might as well start getting used to it as soon as possible.

"No it's fine, I'll be right here" Kai smiled and then scurried off to get his cake.

...

Kai knew he said he would only get one piece, but he also didn't know they had Vanilla AND red velvet. He had to get a slice in honor of Irene.

"Nice suit" A new voice was heard. Kai turned and found Jin in front of him. He was wearing all Gucci, and smelled like a rich person.

"Thank you, I like your belt" The man looked down at his Gucci belt, then looked back up at Kai.

"Ah, thank you. It's pretty old and worn out though"

"It's still worth more than me" Jin frowned.

"Don't say that you're worth way more than an object" Kai cleared his throat, feeling a bit awkward at the compliment because he's an awkward boy, and plus after knowing your boyfriend was in love with this man for eight years, you'd expect things to be a bit awkward.
