[TEAM FOUR] Surprise, Surprise
"That…" Taehyung eyes the burnt food in disgust. "...is the most horrendous french toast I have ever seen and mind you I have seen a lot."
Jimin scoffs at his best friend as he grabs the plate of french toast and dumps it on the garbage can along with the other breakfast experiments he has been doing for the last 2 hours. It’s the evening of the day before his anniversary with his boyfriend and Jimin is determined to master at least one decent food he can serve to his boyfriend. At least one!
Taehyung takes a sip of his wine and settles himself on one of the bar stools by the counter table. “Look, Jimin, maybe it’d be best to get something delivered? I’m sure there’s a lot of odd ahjummas who wake up early to make breakfast for people’s boyfriends.” Jimin glares at Taehyung which only makes his best friend cackle.
“You know I invited you to help, not to just waste my precious wine collection.”
“Oh please honey, your wine collection is subpar at best,” Taehyung says as he downs the contents of his wine glass.
Jimin would stop Taehyung from grabbing another bottle from his wine refrigerator if he’s not preoccupied in finding an easy enough recipe to make for his boyfriend. Speaking of his wonderful boyfriend...
Seokjinnie: Babe, don’t forget to print out our tickets in advance, okay?
Seokjinnie: I’ll bring us extra sunscreen
Seokjinnie: The weather forecast said it’s going to be extremely hot tomorrow
Jimin grins to himself.
Jimin: Not as hot as you
Seokjinnie: Or you
Seokjinnie: God, just thinking of you made me hard
Seokjinnie: :(
Jimin swears his boyfriend is going to be the death of him.
Jimin: Go take care of it yourself
Jimin: I’m busy tonight
Seokjinnie: :(
Seokjinnie: Too busy for me?
Jimin: I am busy because of you
Jimin: Now scram so I can finish my surprise for you
Seokjinnie: K
Seokjinnie: This better be some good porn you’re giving me, Park Jimin
Seokjinnie: Or else
Seokjinnie: :(
“Right!” Jimin claps his hand together, a new kind of determination seeping through his veins. “Let’s do this!”
Park Jimin and Kim Seokjin will be a one-year couple by tomorrow and Jimin is determined to culminate it the only way he knows Seokjin deserves: through good food partnered with only the best cuddles. Jimin’s sure he gives the best cuddles, he’s got a lot of word of mouth for that, but the good food? That part is a struggle especially if you’re trying to feed a renowned chef in the food industry.
This is where his best friend, Kim Taehyung, comes in. Park Jimin honestly doesn't know how he has more friends in the food industry than the fashion industry, considering he works as a commercial model for fashion brands, not FMCG brands.
Jimin blames Taehyung. Taehyung and his charming ways which has led him from one job to another till he became an assistant for a certain Kim Seokjin. And by assistant, Jimin means a taster for Seokjin and all of his culinary creations. Taehyung has been working for and with Seokjin for half a decade now, so if there's anyone who can help Jimin with what food to feed to his boyfriend, that's got to be Taehyung.
"Too salty," Taehyung makes a face as he returns the ladle to Jimin and drinks water. They've been at it for hours now with Jimin not being unable to cook anything decent ever since the burnt toast incident.
Jimin releases a deep sigh as he slumps on the floor. What is he going to give to Seokjin now? All the shops are closed and Seokjin's supposed to pick him up at 7am for their morning flight to Japan. How else can Jimin find a gift good enough to be an anniversary gift for his wonderful boyfriend?
“Look, Jimin,” Taehyung slumps down next to his best friend. “It’s almost midnight. Just give something else to Seokjin, I’m sure he’d rather have a living boyfriend than a gift given by a zombie boyfriend on their anniversary, don’t you think?”
Jimin pouts at his best friend.
What else can Jimin do, but give up?
