Secretly Yours 💕 💕 💕 Vmin

Ep.15. Sweet

Jimin sat on the sofa, his phone in hand, nervously scrolling through the messages in his group chat with Yoongi, Felix, and Jeanie. His fingers hovered over the screen as he debated whether to share his excitement or not. His heart raced with a mix of anticipation and nerves as he typed out his message.

Jimin: Guys... I just made Taehyung hyung's favorite dish! Strawberry shortcake!! I'm so nervous he'll like it, though.

The moment he hit send, the replies came flooding in.

Yoongi: Wait, you made the cake? Since when did you become a chef, Jimin?
Felix: OMG, that's adorable! I'm sure it'll turn out amazing. You've got this, Jiminie! 🍓🍰
Jeanie: You're too cute, Jimin. Honestly, if it's for Taehyung, I bet he'll be head over heels no matter what.
Yoongi: Just don't set the kitchen on fire, okay?

Jimin chuckled softly at the banter, his nerves easing just a little. But then, his phone buzzed again with a new message.

Felix: By the way, does hyung know you're doing this? Or is this a surprise?

Jimin hesitated for a moment, fingers hovering over the screen before responding.

Jimin: It's a surprise. I just wanted to do something nice for him. You know, for once, I want him to see me as more than just the playful little brother.

He read the message over again, his heart skipping a beat. Would Taehyung understand the gesture? Would he finally see Jimin as more than just family?

Felix: Jiminie... you're gonna make him fall for you with that cake, I swear.
Yoongi: You better not expect any credit if it turns out good, though. Taehyung's got a soft spot for you, always has.
Jeanie: Aww, Jimin, you're so sweet! It's the thought that counts. You've got this!

Jimin smiled, feeling a wave of gratitude for his friends' encouragement. He put his phone down for a moment, trying to calm his racing heart.

Just then, he heard Jin's voice calling from the kitchen. "Jimin! Dinner time! Come on, we're all waiting for you!"

His heart did a little flip. This was it. The moment he had been waiting for. He stood up, quickly checking his appearance in the mirror before making his way to the dining room.

When he entered, he was met with the sight of Taehyung and Namjoon already seated at the table, talking casually. Jin stood at the head of the table, beaming proudly.

"Ah, Jimin, just in time!" Jin said, a teasing glint in his eyes. "I hope you're ready to face your creation. Everyone's dying to know if it's as good as you say."

Jimin flushed, his nerves returning in full force as he awkwardly approached the table. He noticed Taehyung's gaze flicker over to him, and for a moment, everything seemed to slow down. Taehyung was looking at him, and Jimin felt his stomach twist with excitement and anxiety.

With a quick glance at his friends' messages, Jimin found the courage to speak. "I-I made this for hyung. Strawberry shortcake," he said softly, his voice tinged with nervousness.

Taehyung blinked in surprise, but then a small, warm smile curved his lips. "For me?" he asked, his voice gentle and surprised.

Jimin nodded shyly, avoiding his gaze as he placed the cake in front of Taehyung. "Yeah... I just wanted to do something nice for you," Jimin said, his heart thudding louder than ever.

Namjoon, always quick to notice the dynamics between them, grinned knowingly. "Mochi, you always say you love your dad most, but tonight... you cooked your hyung's favorite dish for the first time. That's a bit unfair, don't you think?"

Jimin's face turned a shade darker, and he pouted, crossing his arms over his chest defensively. "Stop, Dad! Next time, I'll make your favorite!" he said, trying to mask the fluttering feeling in his chest with a playful tone.
