Heatwave ~ Kim Taehyung

Like a best friend

Taehyung has a habit of stuffing his face with too much food and consequently eating in pout. As he is doing right now. You watch him merrily wolf down another soy sauce-dipped slice of raw salmon and stack the miniature plate with the rest of his conquests. It's his sixth plate.

When he'd first shown you the email he received for 'all you can eat' sushi, your response was a firm "No." You're not even a fan of seafood in general, let alone raw fish. But Taehyung was persistent, insisting on what a bargain it is and how it's sushi season right now. Sushi season, what bullshit. Another "No." Yet when Taehyung has his eyes set on something, especially when it comes to food, there's little that can stop him. He knows how to use his assets - batting is lashes, huffing like a baby, nuzzling into your neck - until you finally let out a defeated sigh.

So here you are, plotting how best to sneak in some wasabi into his food. This wimp has a full on breakdown at the slightest taste of spice, you can just envision his face when the wasabi burns up his nostrils and through to his ears.

That will teach him not to drag you out to sushi again.

"Why aren't you eating your udon?" Taehyung's eyes are wide and innocent, unsuspecting of your mischievou scheme. "Too hot?"

"Yeah, don't want to burn my tongue." You stir your steaming noodles, smiling to yourself.

The two of you had managed to secure a four-person booth due to his non-stop nagging to come early to avoid the queue. The restaurant is now bustling with customers and stressed waiters, the smell of Japanese food infused in the warm air. You're both sat on one couch, while sat across you is another couple who are just finishing with their lunch. This arrangement is due to the busy demand of the restaurant, squeezing in however many impatient hungry people as they can. Though you didn't have a problem with sharing a booth with strangers at first, Taehyung's ravenous gorging of sushi after sushi has made you particularly self conscious.

As soon as the couple leave after paying their bill, you turn to hiss at Taehyung. "Why are you eating like that?"

"Like what?" His words are barely audible with his mouth full. "Are you gonna eat your udon or not? I can help you out if you can't finish the whole thing."

Ah, there it is, his infamous line - I can help you out if you can't finish the whole thing.

Honestly, his appetite is abominable.

"Order your own udon!" You begin eating your noodles to prove that you are hungry, and you will finish the whole thing.

Taehyung tucks his hair behind his ear (you've recently noticed that his ears are abnormally big, which you guess explains the massive dick). Just a few days ago, you had managed to convince him to get a perm. The main selling point was: 'all the bitches will go crazy for it, trust me'. Bitches being you.  And indeed, all the bitches are crazy for it. In the timespan at which you've been in this restaurant alone, you've caught almost every single girl checking him out, eyes flickering too often towards your booth for it to be coincidental.

When their eyes fell onto you, you would smile at them politely, yet to your surprise, they'd wear a sour expression and ignore your courtesy. You soon realised that they think you're Taehyung's girlfriend. Girlfriend! The thought had made you shudder and scoot further away from him.

"Nah, I need to save room for the sushi, baby." He pats his stomach that remains annoyingly flat despite his feasting. "I need to pee, I'll be right back. Can you order some more California Rolls and the Dragon Roll please? Oh, actually, and one more Soft Shell Crab Roll and a Tempura Shrimp as well please?"
