The first half is the current moment; the second half, we go back in the past, which I wonder if any of you have ever thought about. But after reading, do let me know.

Jin, as per his usual routine in the morning at work, walked into Taehyung's house, getting ready to prepare breakfast for Minji before he woke her up to get ready, got the scare of his life when he saw Taehyung standing in the kitchen sorting through the cabinets.

"Are you trying to give me a heart attack? What are you doing here?" Jin lets out while clutching his chest. Taehyung was never in the kitchen in the mornings. Moreover, he hardly saw Taehyung in the mornings.

"If its that easy for you to get a heart attack, I would suggest you get a check-up, and in case you forgot, I live here. I am trying to make us breakfast, but I can't find one of the ingredients I am looking for."

Jin was confused by Taehyung's choice of words, "I am sorry, but who is us? You and Minji?"

"Minji, you and I," Taehyung stated as he continued looking through the cabinet, not giving Jin a glance.

"I don't like the term 'us'" Jin didn't know why he used that term, but he didn't want him using it.

"Why, what's wrong with it?" Taehyung closes the cabinet door and turns to face Jin. He was surprised that Jin was addressing him about the term he was using and not the fact that he didn't know what he was doing in the kitchen.

"I don't know. It's just not fitting for us."

Taehyung smirked at Jin, "Yet you just used it. Listen, stop trying to over analyze this moment and come help me make breakfast. I am already going to be late to work and don't want to be any later than I am going to be. I think Minji would appreciate us making her breakfast. Wouldn't you agree?"

"I guess, but why both of us need to make her breakfast, you don't have to be late. I can make it, I usua-"

"Because its something I want to do with you. Now, if you don't mind, can you teach me how you make her french toast?" Taehyung said, almost whispering in Jin's ears.

Jin went utterly silent, swallowing hard, and as quickly as he could, he moved out of Taehyung's way.

"Her birthday is coming up," Taehyung said as he tried changing the subject as he could see how red Jin's face had gotten.

"Yes, I can't believe she is turning eight already. Are you having a party for her?" Jin questioned while pulling out the ingredients he needed from the pantry for the french toast. Taehyung watched in amusement as he realized he was looking in the wrong place.

"No, she wants to go to Disney World."

"Oh that would be a nice gift, I heard it's a fun place, and they have a lot of parks, she will definitely enjoy it."

"I am sure you will too."

"Me?" Jin almost dropped the bread as he looked up at Taehyung, who was standing on the other side of the counter.

"Of course you, you are coming too. Afterall you are her babysitter and favorite person; she would be upset if you weren't there. Do you really think I can handle an eight-year-old in a park all by myself?"

"If by an eight-year-old, you mean your daughter, yes, I do believe you can and should be able to."

"Fair enough, but either way, I want you there, and so does Minji, and its also for work too. Now, if that's settled, can you stop making the french toast by yourself and show me please?" Taehyung walks around to where Jin is standing and begins to watch him intently.

"I am your daughter's babysitter, not your culinary teacher. If you want to know how to make french toast, go search it up. It's how most people learn."

"Could you be my culinary teacher if I wanted you to be, though? As you are aware, I lack when it comes to cooking."

Jin took the spatula he had in his hand and pointed it towards Taehyung, "I don't know what your intentions are as of late, but I am going to ask you to pipe it down. If you think doing this is going to make me have sex with you, it's not going to happen!"

"My intentions are to be nice to you, Seokjin. I want to get to know you and sorry to disappoint you, but I am not looking for us to have sex. Last time we had sex it caused us too many problems, I don't want that, right now, I just want to know you, as a friend?"

"Ughh! you are unbelievable!" Jin drops the spatula and storms out of the kitchen.

Taehyung lets out a deep sigh, taking out his phone from his pocket and crossing off "Try making breakfast together" from his list. He had more things scratched off than he had checked marks, he was hoping he could make some changes by Minji's upcoming birthday.

***********

Flashback to the day after Taehyung and Jin slept together

"Why are you here so early? You do know I have a life outside of here, right?" Jungkook said as he took a seat.

"I fucked up big time."

"What do you mean?" Jungkook asked, concerned as he took in Taehyung's expression.

"I slept with my daughter's babysitter."

"Woah, the one you keep telling me about? How did this happen?"

"Yes, the same one. Well, you know I told you he is attractive right, like so fucking attractive. I doubt you have ever seen anyone like him, but anyway last night I was working and then I saw him on the monitors from the camera in the foyer leaving. Like he was all dressed up, and I could tell he was going on a date, and I don't know what got over me I kinda got jealous, so I stopped him from leaving. I told him to make me dinner and stuff, one thing led to another, and before I fucking know it, he is in my bed."

"Taehyung-"

"I know, I know. I shouldn't have, but I couldn't help it."

"What are you going to do now? was this just a one night stand, how does he feel about it?"

"I don't know I ran straight here as soon as I got up, I figured I would talk to you first. He probably thinks I am work, so I know he won't wake up feeling anyway, but I can talk with him when I get home. I don't want things to be awkward or for him to think I used him for sex because I didn't."

"Sex changes the dynamics of things Taehyung. I know you have had your eyes on him since he started working for you, but I don't know what's his view on you. I would recommend you be careful about how you move forward here because the last thing you want is for Minji to be impacted, you say she likes him, right?"

"I know, and she does a whole lot."

"Did you feel a connection with him during sex? Like do you see yourself wanting to get to know him, or was this just a one night stand and something you don't want to repeat?"

"Sex with him was amazing, but different at the same time. I would like to know him, but he can be difficult like I have told you before, his behavior does not match his looks. He has a way about him, I even question him being around my daughter at times, but then there is also something about him that attracts me to him, I guess it the same thing that attracts my daughter to him too. Before having sex with him again, I would want to get to know him, you know. Like sex is one thing, but knowing a person is completely different. That's why I feel like punching myself for allowing that to happen last night."

"What about the sex was different? I agree with you, but when you go home today, I would recommend talking to him, getting his view on things and see how he feels about last night. You should be open and honest with him too, don't shut down either."

"Everyone I have ever had sex with like the intimacy, the touching, kissing, sort of like lovemaking, he didn't. He just wanted me to fuck him, even when I thought I was hurting him, he was enjoying it."

"Interesting, and what did you say his name was?"

"Kim Seokjin."
