the kitchen island was covered in an array of ingredients and small dishes already prepped out and measured. it almost looked kind of pretty with all the colors of the things he'd be using to cook and how organized he was with it today. taehyung walked around the island to make sure his camera was set up good and well framed.

when it was, he started recording and smiled at the camera. "hi guys, welcome back and i hope you're hungry." he started his usual intro and looked down at what he would be working with today.

it was a tuesday afternoon, his two roommates had gone out to see a movie since they had coupons. taehyung felt like that was a good time to get a video in, as well as cooking dinner. he was a pro at killing two birds with one stone. "tonight we will be making a meal, but not just any meal." he said, "we are making three meals."

"i know that sounds crazy, and here there tends to be chaos in the kitchen and i dont have the best resume." taehyung said, he moved around dishes while he talked, putting them in order of when he was suppose to use them, "but today i did things a little differently. i already read through the recipe and measured out everything i need so this time i wont waste so much time cutting onions."

taehyung picked up the recipes he had printed out and looked through them, reading out the titles for a sushi dish, a pasta dish, and then a dessert. "i dont know if they really go together but we'll see." he said. "i also have rice already made for the sushi, so i'll just toss that in the microwave when we need it."

taehyung felt scratching at his leg and looked down to see his dog starting to bug him. "everyone likes microwaves," he said, "except your dogs, dont put them in there."

just when he got quiet, there was a muted yell from somewhere in his apartment. taehyung wasn't surprised though, he had been listening to that for the past hour while he got ready to film. the brunette figured he should explain it to the camera though, in case it could be heard too. "so if you hear yelling in the video, jungkook is playing call of duty and that can get pretty intense." he explained.

early in the day without much of a notice, jungkook had texted the older male and said he was coming over. taehyung had told him he would be filming and sort of busy, but jungkook just wanted to play his video games and figured he could do that at the other boys house instead of his own. it started to become a habit the last couple days of him showing up, giving taehyung a kiss and then stealing the boys room to play.

"okay so lets start-" taehyung felt yeontan poking at his leg again and starting to whine. he looked down and picked up the puppy, "why are you crying? is it the onion." he asked his pet.

"oh my god wait this is yeontans first video, say hi." taehyung pouted when he spoke, holding the puppy close and making sure he was visible to the camera. "now go away." he put his dog back on the floor and re-focused on what he had to do.

taehyung started with the sushi, considering he had to nuke the rice and then let it cool again so he'd be able to roll it. while it cooled he could then move onto the pasta sauce. "i didnt think this camera thing through." he said, going around the grab it and move spots when he went over to the stove. "that is going to get annoying real fast." he said.

"so we start with the sauce." taehyung said, looking back at the paper and adding a jar of crushed tomatoes to the pan he had heating up. "i like vodka sauce, and i know jungkook just likes liquor so i went ahead with that kind today." he said while stirring the sauce around in the pan. "we have to let that heat up and then add some cream and then it should get lighter in color." he looked at his sauce and waited for some bubbles to show once it got hotter.

it was definitely easier to buy jarred sauce, but taehyung felt like he wanted to make his own from scratch. he had his spices all out in little dishes already and the cream waiting too. in the meantime he talked about whatever came to mind, from the camping trip this past weekend to even how training was coming along with yeontan. "im teaching him to high five." taehyung smiled as he stirred in the cream.

while the sauce had been simmering, taehyung made sure to cook the noodles in the water. he was about to take it off the stove and drain the water when a fluffy head of dark hair poked around the corner. "it smells good." jungkook said. the younger saw taehyung going to pick up the big pot, "let me do it." he said, taking it instead and getting a thanks in return.

"so we're eating spaghetti." jungkook said, pouring everything in the pot into the colander and feeling the cloud of steam blow past his face. "and sushi and cookies." taehyung said.

the older male took the sauce off from the heat and set it to the side. "okay to basically everything with the pasta dish is done." taehyung paused and looked at the counter. he had sectioned everything by dish and saw a small one with white stuff still sitting there. it certainly wasnt for the sushi since everything was rice and chopping veggies with some crab, and the cookies were kind of premade since there was only so many things taehyung could make from scratch.

"what the fuck is this?" taehyung held up the little dish and looked back at his sauce, wondering how he could have forgot something. jungkook had finished draining the pasta and came over, sticking his finger in it and tasting it off the tip. "dude what if it was something bad." taehyung said.

"you're cooking with it so i hope it's edible." jungkook said. "and i dont know what that is."

taehyung shrugged and put it next to the sink. "well its too late now anyways." he said. "wanna help?" he looked over where the ravenette was just standing, but now he was already half way to the couch and soon laying down.

"okay nevermind." he said. "im gonna get the rice and then we can assemble this sushi."

there were times in most cooking videos where taehyung would edit it just to speed up. he never wanted it to seem tedious or sound like he was droning on talking about nonsense. this was one of those moments, especially since he technically wasnt cooking right now and just putting the sushi rolls together.

jungkook however, didnt like that. he groaned from the couch, "why did you stop talking." he asked, eyes closed and body curled as he hugged a pillow to his chest. "what?" taehyung asked from the kitchen.

"it was nice, i was listening." jungkook said.

"youre a dork." taehyung was blushing when he said it.

now it was weird and taehyung didnt want to talk at all. his stomach made jumps and swirls and he could have sworn he would throw up butterflies any second. "i'm actually going to put the cookies in now so everything will be done around the same time." taehyung stuck some rice in his mouth and then wiped his palms on the sides of his pants.

"while its cooking you should come here." jungkook said from his spot over on the couch. taehyung glanced over and shook his head. "maybe if you helped i could have been done faster and then maybe you could get what you want." taehyung kept working on the sushi, a little smile on his face now as he did.

jungkook just groaned but he made no moves to help. he'd be stubborn and just wait to be fed.

taehyung was finishing up quick though, starting to plate everything and make it look nice. he left the sushi rolls on the wooden cutting board since it looked nice like that already, and the pasta was on one plate with the vodka sauce poured neatly on top. there was a few basil leaves on top too to make it look extra fancy.

in his opinion the cookies looked the best, soft in the center and chocolate looking warm. taehyung grabbed his camera and got a good shot of everything before aiming it at the living room. "come on jungkook its the big reveal." he said, but he ravenette didnt move from the couch.

"im coming." jungkook managed to say, pulling himself up from the cushion and coming over slowly. "you good there?" taehyung asked, watching the younger walk around the island and drop his chin onto the other males shoulder. "it smells good." he said again.

"well dig in and tell me what you think." taehyung said. he put the camera back on the stand as jungkook looked at the pasta as the best first choice. he started spinning a bunch of noodles on the fork and then tried it, just to go back for more and then another forkful.

taehyung watched with a little smile, "wow youre really going in." he said.

"i havent breathed in like five minutes." jungkook said between bites. "here, you taste." he took some pasta on the fork and held it out to the boy. jungkook moved on to the sushi and soon both males were eating quietly and no one talked until they were both somewhat full.

jungkook stepped back until he hit the kitchen counter, leaning against it and finishing swallowing what was in his mouth. "dude you better cook every night." he said, "kraft mac and cheese got nothing on you."

a light giggle left taehyungs lips, and he smiled when he spoke, "well im glad you liked it." he said.

jungkook nodded and wiped his mouth, but he picked up the pasta plate and put three cookies on top. "i did, now finish the video and join me on the couch." he said, walking back to the living room and eat some more and wait for the pretty one.

as much as taehyung loved filming, he had something better waiting for him. it didnt take long for taehyung to say goodbye to the video, ending the recording and running over to jungkook on the couch. nothing played on the tv and nothing even needed to, the two boys simply sat together and talked, sharing bites of food and sharing kisses between. it was one of many nights like this to follow.
