"Hmm.. So just like this." Jungkook read from the cookbook. The next step was to roll out the dough.

He was attempting to make cookies for a third time... today. J - Hope's private lessons in baking gave him hope to improve his skills. Except each and every attempt only ended in failure. To the struggling baker, committing arson didn't sound so bad right about now.

Jungkook's hands firmly grasped the rolling pin as it slowly rolled over the cookie dough. "Nggh.." he cried.

So far everything seemed to go according to plan. That was until he was met with resistance from his own creation. It wasn't flattened enough to make the appropriate form that was needed.

"Ugh! This is nonsense. You will flatten nicely so I can make cookies!" he scolded towards his dough.

His anger was now starting to reach a boiling point. Using his bare hands to readjust the dough only delayed the inevitable.

"I need you to cooperate so I can impress J - Hope! HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME!" Jungkook screamed then threw his dough into the air.

When the blob of dough landed back onto the countertop. Flour was thrown into the air causing a puff of smoke. It entered into his lungs causing him to cough aggressively.

He then ran and opened up his window to air out the smoke. After the smoke subsided all that was left was his current foe.

"Stupid thing", he mumbled now with his, "whatever happens, happens" attitude.

"Alright do me a favor and just bake. Please." he begged with optimism.

Jungkook opened up the pre baked oven that now breathed out hot air. Then he slid the pan of cookies onto the bottom level. Maybe this time he will succeed.

'Knock Knock'

"J - Hope must be at the door." he thought to himself.

Using a clean dishcloth, he wiped off his dirty hands. Then walked over to the door and opened it.

"Morning- damn! What happened here?" J - Hope recoiled from the toxic air that assaulted his nose. The amount of dust particles in the air was hard to ignore.

"Nothing." Jungkook coldly replied. He refused to acknowledge his defeat in baking.

"Okay." J - Hope was trying to hold back a laugh.

"I tried..." Honestly, Jungkook just wanted to show J - Hope how hard he's been working.

J - Hope sniffed the air once more and caught a whiff of smoke.

"Something's burning." he warned his oblivious friend then pushed his way through.

The two of them followed the smell to a smoke cloud starting to seep through the oven's cracks. "How many times do I have to warn you about this?" J - Hope yelled.

Jungkook quickly turned off the oven and slipped on the oven mitt. While doing this, J - Hope was fanning the smoke that came flooding out of the oven. Both of them inhaled a slight amount of smoke and coughed up a lung.

"You never cease to *cough* disappoint me. How did you manage to burn something so simple?" The unimpressed asian asked while examining the half burnt cookies.

J - Hope saw that his comment may have been a bit harsh. "Well, they can't be that bad..."

He searched, then found the least burnt cookie and tasted it.

Jungkook watched his friend with hope that the cookie still tasted okay. With disgust J - Hope immediately spat out the cookie.

"Why- are they so. Salty! Water- you fool." muttered J - Hope as he was grabbing at his dried out throat.

"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry!" Jungkook squeaked out. He grabbed a cup and filled it up with water. Then handed it over to J - Hope who readily gulped down the liquid.

While getting the cup of water, the culprit of the salty cookies was revealed.

The bag that was supposed to read, "sugar" had "salt" instead.

Growl

Jungkook's stomach growled which caught J - Hope's attention. "I'm hungry." He shyly looked at his friend hoping he would make breakfast.

"Here. My grandfather's famous breakfast sandwich". Laid out before Jungkook was a golden breakfast sandwich.

Across from him was J - Hope who was already digging in. He picked up his sandwich then took a large bite out of it. It tasted amazing and had a nostalgic feeling to it.

"Hey are you alright? You look like you're about to cry." J - Hope asked with concern.

"What are you talking about?" Jungkook replied. He was confused until his vision turned slightly blurry.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I must be developing allergies or something. But it shouldn't concern you too much." Jungkook dismissed J - Hope's concerning question.

"Hmm. Alright. Just let me know if anything is bothering you." J - Hope was becoming suspicious of his friend's recent behavior.

"That feeling.. I feel like it's been stronger than ever. I wonder if I'm going to meet "that person" soon." Jungkook confessed to his friend.

It was a feeling that only he could describe having his whole life. It feels like he's waiting to meet someone. As if his life purpose was to just see them once again. Only one person knew about this feeling and that's J - Hope

"It's gonna be alright. Patience is key." J - Hope patted Jungkook's shoulder in reassurance. Although he may not completely understand; he knew that his friend needed his support.

_______

"Hey Jimin! Hope you didn't wait too long. Haha.." Jungkook cheerfully greeted his blonde haired friend.

He and J - Hope were late to meet with Jimin in front of their college building. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward between Jungkook and J - Hope.

One of Jungkook's many gifts in life was not giving directions to a destination. After all, he told J - Hope to not let me have the G.P.S.

Flashback

"Oh! Look at the cute deer." Jungkook pointed out towards a deer drinking water from the pond nearby. This wouldn't have been a problem if he wasn't the navigator.

"Jungkook! When do we turn?" J - Hope asked while he was driving the two of them down the road.

"Turn right...there! Hurry!" Jungkook blurted out at the last minute, while pointing at the next turn.

The exit was only a couple of feet away from their current position.

"Jungkook, you idiot!" J - Hope screamed with his foreign accent seeping through.

The car aggressively turned onto the other street. Sounds of horns and angry screaming echoed behind the two of them. Had Jungkook paid attention, J - Hope wouldn't have risked their lives. Although he felt like assigning blame wouldn't help anyone.

With hesitation, Jungkook turned his head to see the fuming driver. "We're here. Yay.." His attempt to lighten the atmosphere may have made things worse.

End of Flashback

"Hey ~ I'm sorry. Don't be angry, okay?" Jungkook pleaded with J - Hope while tugging on his arm. He still refused to acknowledge him since they left the car.

"Why do the both of you always manage to get into the most petty fights?" Jimin called out his friends for fighting over ridiculous things. But don't brothers fight all the time?

"I'll forgive him if he buys the both of us dinner tonight." J - Hope was now bargaining for his mercy.

Jungkook's ears perked up when he heard that he needed to buy food. He didn't mind sharing with his friends but, those two are demons. They don't exactly have the best track record.

"Can't we just let bygones be bygones?" Jungkook asked, while he attempted to make amends.

"No." In unison Jimin and J - Hope denied his request.

The backstory behind this is, the three of them went to an all you can eat Korean BBQ. Jimin may have taken the term all too seriously. Also the server was getting too friendly with Jungkook. So J - Hope wasn't taking that too nicely. Thus the night resulted in them being escorted out and banned.

"Have you guys picked out a school club to sign up for? I did some searching and I think I found my perfect fit." Jimin asked the two boys.

Today was the first day of classes for most students. Although freshmen sometimes start a few days later. This allowed them to explore the campus, learn about clubs and make new friends. So students who run clubs, set up recruiting sites.

The trio wandered around the stands while examining each club. A sweet aroma of baked goods wafted in the air. "Something smells good. Let's go over there!" Jungkook dragged Jimin and J - Hope like rag dolls to the cooking club stand.

"Ah, we meet again. I take it that you're taking classes here, too?" Michael spoke to Jungkook.

He was standing before Jungkook with a baby pink apron tied around his waist. Right now Michael was the perfect combination of when masculinity meets femininity. Jungkook nodded his head with excitement and a bit of drool at the edge of his lip.

"Would you like a crepe? I'll personally make you a fresh one." Michael gestured to the crepe station. No boy or girl could ever resist his sweet treats.

Jungkook's eyes gleamed with lust for a sweet treat. While his friends love to clean out food, he felt the same about sweet desserts.

"I'll make this one extra special for you. Do you want strawberry or banana filling ?" Michael asked while flipping over the crepe on the pan. He was working his game despite the fact that he could see one of Jungkook's friends next to him. Jimin was busy talking to one of his fellow club members.

"I'll take banana." Jungkook bounced up and down like an excited toddler.

While watching the handsome boy make a crepe, he could feel a pair of eyes burning the back of his head.

"All done. Your hands seem to be full, why don't I feed it to you?" Michael suggested. While the offer may be appealing, Jungkook declined.

"Oh wow! It's really good." The excited boy exclaimed.

"You have something on your lip." Michael pointed out.

"Oh, let me just." Jungkook attempted to wipe off his lips. Although it was at the edge of his lip.

"I got it." Michael took this opportunity to use his finger to wipe off the bit of chocolate sauce.

"Ow!" he recoiled back his hand. The boy next to him just slapped his hand out of nowhere.

"I got it." J - Hope used his thumb to wipe off the chocolate sauce from Jungkook's lip. He then licked off the remaining bit on his thumb.

"J - Hope! Why did you slap his hand? Also, gross. Why didn't you just use a napkin?" Jungkook scolded his friend for their behavior.

"We're leaving now." J - Hope took a hold of Jungkook's hand.

" That is some damn good chocolate sauce." was the last sentence he spoke before dragging Jungkook away.

"Jimin! We're leaving." J - Hope called out to the small blonde haired boy.

Michael watched as Jungkook was ripped away from him. He had no plans on backing down from this fight. Jungkook's heart will belong to him no matter what.

"B..but! J - Hope, I wanted to finish my crepe. You know I love sweets." Jungkook whined when J - Hope threw out his crepe.

"Shut up. I'll make you an even better one than he ever could." J - Hope really distrusted Michael. He knew that he wasn't the one that Jungkook needed to meet.

"You need to be more aware of what people do. I can't keep protecting you." J - Hope lectured his oblivious friend.

"Alright, I'm sorry. You didn't have to throw away the crepe. It didn't do anything wrong." Jungkook responded with sadness.

Oftentimes people would hit on Jungkook because of how cute and oblivious he is. J - Hope would fight them off because he worried about his best friend. He would never let someone hurt him the same way he was.

"Hey J - Hope- "

Bang

The bang of heavy metal crashing against the floor echoed throughout the area. Jungkook's ears rang loudly like a train whistle. While trembling, he covered his ears and crouched down to the ground.

"Jungkook! Jungkook! Oi, wake up!" His blurry vision slowly came back when J - Hope shook him into reality.

"Calm down. Look into my eyes and breathe with me." J - Hope held Jungkook's cheeks with both his hands.

Jungkook listened to a calm voice while trying to catch his breath. His blurry vision was now shifted to see a waterfall of chocolate. A sweet and warm coffee scent lured him out of his shell.

"I'm okay now. Thank you." He thanked J - Hope for calming him down.

" Alright, I'm back from the bathroom. What happened? " Jimin asked after seeing Jungkook was in a disoriented state.

"Nothing to worry about. I'm okay now." Jungkook replied. He wiped his eyes and stood back up.

"Don't scare me like that. J - Hope here will have a stroke if you ever get hurt." Jimin laughed while slapping the back of J - Hope's back.

"Ow! Watch it you midget!" J - Hope yelped from the powerful slap. Jimin may be petite, but he has some real power.

"Midget!? You have the girliest legs I've ever seen." Jimin pointed at him. "Honestly, I think you would look great in a skirt. Don't you think Jungkook?"

"Hmm. I do see the potential." Jungkook replied while examining J - Hope's body.

"I'll kill you both." J - Hope had those shifty eyes that scares Jimin and Jungkook.

"So anyway, did you guys decide on your clubs? I'm gonna go into the cooking club." Jimin gestured towards the area they just left. Now Jimin is amazing academically, not so much in domestic skills.

"I already knew what I would choose from the start. The Mixed Martial Arts club is the only choice for me." J - Hope is gifted when it comes to all sorts of fighting skills and techniques.

"I think the Gaming Club is the best for me." Competitive Gaming was something that Jungkook always was good at.

His reaction speed was always on point. It's just that when he plays with Jimin and J - Hope, they'll get him killed every time.
