The moment the car stopped in front of the main entrance, Jimin didn't waste another second before making his way inside the mansion. The staff looked at him weirdly as he made his way upstairs to quickly deposit his bags and change into a more comfortable pair of clothes.

The said boy was determined, determined to prove Yeonjun wrong. How can he even say that Jimin doesn't deserve Jeongguk. Jeongguk himself told Jimin that both of them equally deserve each other. Ignoring all the curious stares, Jimin made his way towards the kitchen. The cook was surprised to see Jimin standing there as he approached him.

"Is there something you want young master?" The cook politely addressed to Jimin as he pulled out a wooden stool for the you get to sit on.

"Yes I um... I want to make something special for dinner tonight, for Jeongguk"

"You can always ask me, I'd happily make it" The cook replied not sure if his master would like his lover working here.

"No! I want to make something for him by myself! I c-can cook it's been a while since I've entered the kitchen but don't worry I can cook I just want you to assist me" Jimin replied back, giving his best pout and puppy eyes to convince the cook.

"Very well then. Do you have anything specific in your mind? And please young master sit down it's not good for you to stand that long" the cook asked as he guided Jimin to sit down before grabbing a note pad so Jimin could jot down what he wants.

"Well I was thinking of lasagna, I used to make that a lot and with that maybe a simple marble cake?"

"You know how to bake too?"

"Umm I'm not good at that because my moth- the women who raised me didn't like having sweets so I never got the opportunity to bake" Jimin sadly replied, recalling how he used to work in the kitchen but never once he got the chance to bake something sweet.

"Well no worries first let's get on with the main dish and then I can help you with the cake. Do you have a recipe?"

"Of course! Do we have all the ingredients?"

"We do just list them down so I can take them out" the cook replied giving Jimin a small encouraging smile. Jimin started to write down the whole recipe while the cook started to look through his recipe book for a classic marble cake recipe.

Back at the underground office, Jeongguk was talking with Yoongi. It has been a few days since nothing has happened or they found out of the ordinary.

"Do you think he's trying to lay low till the storm breaks?" Yoongi asked chugging down another glass of champagne.

"Jackson isn't one to wait. He made it clear what he's after"

"Maybe he's waiting for an opportunity to strike. Have you heard anything from Namjoon?"

"Nothing strange but he did found another line distributing someone else's drugs"

"How can someone do that? Especially when that's our territory"

"That's why I might need to have a surprise visit there. Besides I need to go see Jimin he sent me some weird emojis that I can't translate" Jeongguk said as he took out his phone to show Jimin's weird message he wasn't able to interpret.

Muffin: "🏚️🕖🍝🕯️🍰🍾"

"What the- how can you not understand that?" Yoongi laughed looking at the emojis again.

"It's so simple he just told you to come home for dinner by 7, there will be wine and cake" yoongi laughed explaining it to Jeongguk. Jeongguk looked at the emojis again and was near to facepalm his face when he realized how simple the message was.

"What ever I'm leaving"

♣️

"Where's the grated cheese! I need to give it's final garnishing before putting it in the oven!" Jimin panicked as his eyes darted towards the clock that was showing it was time for Jeongguk to come home.

"Here you go young master!" The servant said as she passed the grated cheese towards Jimin who quickly sprinkled it over the lasagna before sliding it inside the pre heated oven.

Jimin was able to set a perfect table for two with a red table cloth, accompanied with white plates that had gold lining at the edges and of course wine glasses for later. Even thou he won't be able to taste it because of his little baby he still can have grape juice right?

"What about the cake sir? The main cook had to leave early because of his daughter"

"It's okay I still have enough time to mix the batter and place it" Jimin assured him as he made his way towards the cooks book. The cook had prepared all the ingredients and placed the recipe for Jimin before leaving.

Jimin quickly started to measure everything, his eyes kept on darting towards the clock that reminded him Jeongguk would be here any moment. He wanted to hurry up and greet Jeongguk but unfortunately he was way behind.

Jimin could feel his eyes start to moisten up as the pressure built inside of him. Jeongguk would be here any second now and he hasn't even started with the dessert yet. Jimin was so into hurrying up with mixing the batter he didn't hear Jeongguk's call and his footsteps making their way towards the kitchen being guided by one of the staff members.

Jimin was about to add the flour to the batter when his hand slipped making the whole packet of white flour spill all around and over him.
Jeongguk stood there, his eyes wide in shock as he witnessed Jimin creating a mess. Jimin defeatedly slumped down on the messy floor as tears brimmed his eyes and fell down like water fall.

"Oh baby" Jeongguk quickly rushed towards Jimin, making the younger look at him surprised. He didn't wish for Jeongguk to see him like this, so messy and unstable. Jeongguk quickly grabbed the damp towel and wiped Jimin's face clean as the said boy continued to cry.

"It's okay muffin, accidents happen all the time. We can bake another one okay?" Jeongguk tried to comfort him but Jimin only had one thing going around in his mind. How he was a failure and wasn't able to prove himself worthy for Jeongguk.

"I-im so sorry for creating this m-mess Ggukie. I just wanted to make something for you but it all turned out to be a disaster! Look I'm covered in flour!" Jimin cried making Jeongguk fondly look at him. He wasn't sure if it was his baby who was looking adorable covered in flour crying with a cute pout over his face or was it the idea of Jimin being domestic and making dinner for him. But what ever it was it made him smile.

"Do you know how adorable you look" Jeongguk said out of the blue making Jimin temporarily halt his crying as he looked at Jeongguk with a confused expression.

"H-how on Earth is me covered in flour looks adorable to you!" Jimin asked glaring at him.

"You look adorable in every way but do tell me what's all this going on?" Jeongguk asked curiously as he picked up Jimin making him sit over his lap comfortably. He for sure knows that Jimin wasn't one to do something without having a motive behind it and he knows making dinner out of a sudden had nothing to do with Jeongguk as just earlier Jimin was complaining how he wants to sleep all day.

"Well...are you going to tell me?"

"I-i I wanted to make you dinner"

"I can see that but why. Why do you want to risk your health when I clearly told you to just rest, do you know how bad and risky it is for the baby?" Jeongguk softly scolded him.

"I know but Yeonjun-"

"What did that brat do now!" Jeongguk asked harshly. He's been receiving a lot of complains regarding Yeonjun disturbing Jimin from Namjoon but he ignored them thinking the younger was throwing a tantrum.

"Well when we were coming back he started to be mean towards me saying I can't do anything and that I don't deserve you so I wanted to-"

"You wanted to prove to him that you do deserve me? Jimin how many times do I have to tell you that you don't need to prove anything to anyone! They don't know anything about you, what you've been through and what you've done to be with me. You being with me and staying loyal is more than enough. Yeonjun is no one to comment on us okay?"

"I know but I don't like it how he's always degrading me and making me feel worthless" Jimin finally blurted out telling this to Jeongguk. He didn't want to cause a fight between the two but he couldn't ignore this anymore.

"Don't worry he won't be saying a word to you any more. And if you ever want to do anything you can I won't stop you. But do them because you want to not because you have to okay? Do it for your happiness not to prove it to someone else" Jeongguk reminded him before taking Jimin's lips into a sweet blissful kiss.

"Umm your lasagna is ready young master... Should I bring it?" The assistant asked making Jimin pull back trying to hide his blushing face.

"Lasagna?"

"Yeah I made that for us today"

"Hmm for us or the baby?" Jeongguk teased earning a soft kick from Jimin.

"This was all for you Gguk!" Jimin scolded him before getting up and fisting off the flour. Jeongguk guided both of them towards the dining area where he stood surprised at the neat table set up for them.

"You did all this?"

"Yup this is all for you" Jimin replied settling himself down. Jeongguk joined Jimin and quickly took out his phone to click Jimin's picture. He wanted to save this moment.

"Stop it! I look stupid" Jimin giggled trying to hide his face that had white patches of flour.

"Nope I need a reminder of this day"

While Jeongguk was saving his pictures Jimin cut out a big slice for Jeongguk and placed it nearly over his plate.

"Now tell me how it tastes!" Jimin excitedly said and waited for Jeongguk to taste his lasagna.

Jeongguk wasn't expecting it to taste this good but he couldn't control himself when his mouth was filled with the aromatic taste of the different herbs mixed with the mouthwatering scent of cheese and beef sauce. The taste itself was heaven for Jeongguk as he took another spoonful and Jimin did not needed to be told twice that he succeeded.

"This is great! Why haven't you made this for me before!" Jeongguk enthusiastically said, his eyes stilled glued at his plate as he continued to dig in.

"I'll make this for you from now onwards" Jimin said and started to eat as well.

Soon the two were finished eating however before Jimin couldn't get up Jeongguk received a call.

"What?"

"HOW CAN YOU NOT FIND THEM! THEY WERE THERE ABOUT A FEW HOURS AGO- just tell yoongi to get ready were leaving right now" Jeongguk angryly ended his call making Jimin flinch back at the sudden tone.

"I'm sorry. But I need to leave it's really important" Jeongguk apologized before giving Jimin a quick kiss and running towards the front door.

Jimin stood there disappointed. He wanted to spend his night with Jeongguk but now he'll be alone. Before Jimin could mourn more he heard his phone ring.

Jimin cautiously took out his phone, not expecting anyone to call him this time at night. To his surprise it was an unknown number.

"Umm hello?" Jimin still answered.

"Is this Park Jimin?" The deep voice asked making Jimin flinch back. He's never heard this voice before and it was too harsh to be of someone he knows of.

"Y-yes who is this?" He asked nervously, not sure if he should hang up or not. Jeongguk had warned him countless times not to answer calls from any unknown number.

"Who I am is not important but if you wish to protect your child from that monster you need to listen to me very carefully"

"W-what do you mean? Who are you and how do you know about my baby?!" Jimin asked, his voice started to shake as he feared for his baby. No one knows about his baby except for a few trusted people.

"I know everything but what he's trying to do to your child is something I don't support. The baby is innocent so before something happens I suggest you to listen to my every word carefully" the voice warned him making Jimin tear up.

"W-who wants my baby?"

"Jeon Jeongguk"
