Liar [Vmin]

Phase 27

Mystery POV

"He's been sticking close to them." He clicked his tongue in annoyance

"Trust me. He'll let his guard down eventually. He may be safe and protected now. But not for long. Not for long."

Jimin POV

"You're so hopeless!" I huffed out smacking his hand away again

"It's not my fault it tastes delicious." Taehyung said defensively

"Go sit down!" I ordered sternly

"I'm your hyung young man." He said raising his eyebrow

"Go sit down now hyung." I snapped back smiling sweetly

We hadn't brought up the conversation by the beach once since returning back to their house a few months back. I think he hopes I'll just forget and stay with them.

I couldn't.

Those thoughts however, I pushed at the back of my head since today was Jungkook's birthday.

I was preparing a cake and thought nothing more then to make it the best cake.

"How did you know that Jungkook likes strawberry?"

"Hoseok hyung told me." I said shrugging as I began decorating the cake.

I was going to make the same chocolate vanilla one as before,  it I decided to switch it up.

And it was much easier now since Jin bought new piping tools and other baking equipment.

"How are you so good at baking?" He asked curiously

"My mom was a baker. I spent so long helping her that I guess I learned a few things." I added the final touch to the decorations and I stepped back.

"Beautiful!" I said happily

Out of old habit I picked up the spoon that I stirred the buttercream with and stuck it in my mouth, licking of the sweet treat as I washed the pan.

The buttercream was even more perfect this time. It was almost airy, a secret my mom would refuse to tell anyone how she did.

When I was satisfied I washed the spoon as well and dried my hands.

I felt a heavy stare on me and I turned around to see Taehyung looking at me.

"Something wrong?" I asked tilting my head

He walked close to me and raised his hand up, my eyes widened and his proximity and I was pretty sure my heart stopped when his hand reached up and his finger brushed against my lips.

"Cream." He stated simply before putting that same finger in his mouth and licking off the frosting

A heavy silence settled over us as we stared at each other. His eyes trained steadily on my own. Our proximity forcing me to inhale his intoxicating cologne.

Feeling my face flush, I looked away and took a step back, putting my hand against my cheek in a flimsy attempt to cool it off.

"Thank you..." I whispered unsure of myself

Friends did that right? I mean, he loves Jungkook.

"We...we should get this to the kitchen before Jungkook gets here right?" I said clearing my throat awkwardly

Without waiting for a response I picked up the slightly heavy cake and began carrying it to the kitchen where Yoongi and Hoseok hyung were already finished decorating the kitchen.
