Beneath Your Beauty (Vmin)

Thirty one

It was disaster the minute Taehyung stepped into the kitchen to begin preparing lunch. They had decided on jjangjamyun and it really wasn't going on well. Jimin was seated in the living room, a sketch pad in his hand. He was biting his pen looking deep in thought when he heard a loud explosion coming from the kitchen.

Panicking, he dropped his sketch pad and ran to the kitchen. Smoke filled the air as he started to cough violently. When the smoke gradually eased, he noticed Taehyung standing cluelessly in front of the kitchen counter coughing now and then.

The pot on the cooker had turned as black as coal and smoke kept on coming out of it.

"What the hell are you doing?" he questioned staring at Taehyung.

"Guess I'm a terrible cook after all" he admitted pouting and Jimin couldn't believe he found him adorable at that moment. He shook his head determinedly to get rid of that ridiculous thought.

Jimin placed his hands on his hips.

"What are we going to do now?" he said looking around the messy kitchen.

Taehyung shrugged. "I think we have to work together because i can't even boil water without burning it"

Jimin shook his head. "You're hopeless and there you where boasting!"

"I was trying to impress Mintae" Taehyung blurted and Jimin couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He took a long deep breath.

"I'm not that good either but i guess I'm better than you" Jimin said with a soft smirk on his face.

Taehyung rolled his eyes. "Whatever, let's get on with it"

Jimin set the burnt pot aside and brought out his phone to google how to prepare jjangjangyum. Thankfully, Taehyung hadn't used all the ingredients so they could still prepare a meal.

They began to cook with Jimin giving instructions and Taehyung following it. They where both clueless and sometimes ended up yelling at each other and slapping their hands away whenever one was adding something the other didn't like. Over all, it was a mess but at least they weren't at each other's throat yet so it was a good sign.

Mintae came down the stairs and found his two dads cooking and bickering at the same time.

"Yah Jiminah, don't put that seasoning in there. It will make it taste weird" Taehyung complained

Jimin eyed him. "What do you know? You can't even boil water properly!"

It went on and on until Mintae decided to make his presence known to them.

"What are you guys doing?"

They turned and noticed him.

"Oh we're just preparing lunch" Jimin answered with an obviously fake and nervous smile.

Mintae narrowed his eyes. "Where you two fighting again?"

"Fighting? We definitely weren't fighting" Jimin said with a wide grin that stretched from one ear to the other.

He looked at Taehyung. "Where we fighting?"

The other shook his head. "We definitely weren't fighting. We where just having adult discussions"

Again with the adult discussions.

The boy gave them a piercing look that made them feel extremely uncomfortable. This boy acted too mature for his age it made them worry sometimes. He finally shrugged and they could breathe freely.

"Can i go to the garden to play?" he asked sweetly.

"of course baby but be very careful" Jimin said. They watched Mintae skip out of the kitchen.
