Liar [Vmin]

Phase 8

"Taehyung!" I hissed out

This boy was about to grab the pan that was just taken out of the oven.

"What?" He asked glaring at me

"Don't touch things that are really hot!" I said scolding him

"Don't yell at me."

"Sorry." I mumbled "H-here, take the mittens and flip it over."

He looked at me suspiciously before doing it and slowly the cake was revealed, a big smile stretching across his face.

"It's so pretty!" He said clapping his hands

It was a cake my mom had prepared for my birthday. It was a chocolate cake with swirls of vanilla in it. Usually it was hard to make the cake moist but my mom had spent years perfecting it ever since she was around 17.

"And it has three layers. Nice right?" I asked wiping my cheek

"Yes, can I go tell him now?" He looked genuinely excited and I had to calm him down

"No no, not yet. We still need to make the buttercream frosting. It'll make it perfect. Then you can show him." I said getting to work

"What should I do?" He asked already ready

"Nothing, I'll do this part."

"Why?"

"This buttercream recipe has been passed down in my family and has some secret ingredients to make it especially delicious and perfect. If I told you the secret, I'd have to kill you." I said winking playfully

I turned back towards what I was doing and I added together the ingredients but not before putting in a dash of cinnamon and a little bit more vanilla.

I kept mixing it until it was perfect and motioned for him to come over. He did so and I dipped in a spoon and gave it to him.

"Tell me what you think." I said going back to look at the cake. I touched the three of them and determined they were cold enough to apply the buttercream.

He didn't respond and I looked back only to have him staring at me.

"What? Is it bad? Oh no, please tell me I remembered it correctly." I thought back but I did do everything the right way

"No, it's just that it tastes really good. Ridiculously good." He said

"Oh, you scared me for a second." I said relieved

I focused back on my task and kept cursing at the buttercream. As easy as it may look, coating it was actually really hard.

"What's wrong?" Taehyung asked peering over my shoulder

"Frosting is hard." I said pouting

"It can't be that bad." He said

"Oh ya, you try it." I said handing him the knife

He grabbed it confidently and I could only watch through widening eyes as he smoothed it over with almost perfect precision.

"Where do you learn that?" I asked surprised

"Nowhere, I just copied what you did." He said shrugging

"You're doing the rest." I mumbled as I carefully placed the second layer which he covered with frosting before the third and last layer was added and with sweeping motions, he finished that as well.

I stepped back and admired the cake. It was really pretty.

"Do you like it?" I asked him

"Yes, a million times yes." He said smiling happily
