Drabble Collection #2

Lee Taemin || SHINee, Solo, SuperM || Idol!AU || With You

You feel concerned, rightfully so; Taemin is in the kitchen with a hot pan, a knife and better yet, not giving his full attention to what he is doing. With SuperM recording their piece for the Together At Home performance, Taemin has decided that he would choose cooking as his at home activity for the theme.

Except, Taemin can't cook.

Well, that might be an exaggeration. He can but Taemin cooking is like playing Russian roulette. If it doesn't need to be chopped up, cooked and have any risk - he can do it; otherwise prepare the fire extinguisher because your man is known to set things on fire.

You watch, from across the breakfast bar, as the seasoning comes pouring out because he opened the wrong end of the container and Taemin gasps while you feel your anxiety spike.

But oh, it gets worse from there.

It's like watching Taemin prep his meal is a surefire way to give yourself a panic attack. He doesn't handle a knife properly, sometimes he isn't even paying attention to the task at hand and as he cuts the onions, you literally feel like watching those shows that are designed to make you jump at every move.

"Oh, move out of the way." You round the breakfast bar and gently push him more towards his phone while you take over from cooking. Taemin smiles up at you while you just shake your head, "This is better than risking the hospital." You mutter.

With his attention now focused solely on the performance, you blush deeply because you know that you will be seen in the background sauteing onions and garlic in the frying pan while Taemin dances with two slices of baguette in front of the camera. You glance over at him, seeing the other members of SuperM doing their own little performances and smile softly at how lively they all are despite the situation the world is in.

"It's ready," You speak softly, not wanting to disturb Taemin from his singing so you turn off the element and remove the fry pan from the heat so it doesn't burn. You wait back in your seat for Taemin to finish up and when he does, he plates up the meal he - you - prepared and kisses your temple before sitting in the seat next to you.

"Thank you," he smiles, beginning to dig in and you shake you head, letting out a little chuckle.

"Next time - don't do it in the kitchen. I don't want to have to inform Minho that you nearly set the kitchen on fire again." He just smiles widely at you, his eyes crinkled into half moons before resuming to eat with gusto.

"No promises," he says with a mouthful of food.
