Funny How It Works

Yoongi bit his lip. "Holly...do you think Jimin likes me back?"

Looked up and barked once.

"Do you think I should do something about it?"

Wagged her tail and barked twice.

"Do you think I should do something now?"

This time, Holly jumped at his face and never stopped barking.

Yoongi never saw a pissed off dog yet...until now.

"Okay okay. Calm down. I'll head to the kitchen. Happy now?" Yoongi said, holding Holly up away from his eyes.

Holly blinked at him.

"While Jimin and I do some smoochy smoochy in there, you behave in here, okay?"

The dog barked.

Now satisfied, Yoongi nodded and placed the dog who was giving him a very judgmental stare down, then he went to the kitchen.

When he entered, he was met by the view of Jimin with his eyebrows furrowed in concentration, his one hand holding up a spatula while the other was holding his phone.

The recipe was probably in his phone.

Yoongi approached the younger and placed both his hands on either side of Jimin's body, leaning against the counter.

"You're cooking noodles but you're using spatula?" Yoongi asked, voice hovering over Jimin's ears.

Jimin visibly jumped a bit, startled by Yoongi's sudden presence.

"H-hyung! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

Yoongi chuckled. "You using my spatula to cook noodles is also giving me a heart attack, Jiminie."

Yoongi watched as Jimin's nape turned red. "I was just poking the noodles with it!"

"Hmm, really?"

"A-and... I also needed something to stir the sauce so..."

"I believe there is a more appropriate utensil to use for that, Chim Chim."

Jimin just flushed even more.

"Don't me so mean, hyung! I'm trying my best here and yet you're embarrassing me!"

Good. This was the entry he was looking for.

"Why are you even ashamed? You've already embarrassed yourself enough to last for a lifetime last night."

Jimin jerked upon hearing this, his body stiff and straight.

"What...do you mean? What's so bad with asking for cuddles?"

"Let's just say that I lied on that bit."

"Wait, what?!" the younger exclaimed, whipping around so fast he almost knocked Yoongi off.

And of course, in Yoongi's great great delight, their faces ended up so close to each other. So close that if Yoongi would just tilt his head a bit, they would kiss.

Jimin visibly blushed, his cheeks and ears turning into a deeper shade of red. The younger stepped back with the little space left until his butt hit the counter.

Yoongi grinned inwardly when he remembered that this was exactly their position that time when he asked Jimin to be his secretary.

Oh, and it was also in a kitchen.

Only Jimin's though.

"W-what did I do?" Jimin asked, his noodle recipe long forgotten as he unconsciously put down the spatula and his phone.
