it was a few loud yells and two handfuls of thrown boiled macaroni across the room until the blonde made himself noticeable. jimin wasn't expecting the fight when he walked in, but he definitely wasn't surprised.

"hey!" he shouted, banging a pot on the ground to scare the two boys who wouldn't shut up. "sorry headphone users." jimin said to the camera now that the kitchen was quiet.

"honestly why do we even have a doorbell." namjoon said, he had come down the stairs after hearing all the noise, and partly because the house was actually starting to smell a little good. it had to be the meat sauce on the stove. "let's just get rid of the doors jin."

"that's a brilliant idea." jin said, except he was busy stirring the mac and adding spices to the meat sauce so he most likely wasn't listening to his boyfriend. namjoon knew this, but he smiled fondly and kissed the boys cheek anyways.

"hey i'm wearing the apron." jungkook pointed to his kiss the chef writing on the front of his apron. jimin just giggled and came over with the usual bounce in his step, kissing the youngest boys left cheek and another for right side, "that one is from tae."

gosh his cheeks turned pink so quick. "thanks." jungkook said with a shy smile. his best friend just laughed at him, it was always nice to see him be like this when simply thinking of his pretty boyfriend. "now go taste that mac." jungkook waved him away with a wooden spoon, his head down and hopes high that his hair would cover the blush to his face.

"that's perfect!" jimin exclaimed. he had just taken a small bite of the mac salad and his eyes lit up, only to be narrowed into tiny slits as he glared at his hyung, "don't touch it, it's perfect he's gonna love it." jimin took the mayo jar away from namjoon who insisted it needed more. according to the new chef, he'd ruin it.

"okay!" jin was now talking to the camera again. at some point someone had to ignore the chaos and acknowledge the fact that they were still filming. "now we are going to cook the patties while jungkook starts on the home fries." the younger saluted once his name was called, a pan in hand while a bowl of cut potatoes sat by the stove. he was very confident in his ability to do this, all he needed was a hot pan and the stove would do all the work.

"give me something to do." jimin was looking over his hyungs shoulder, wanting more to do then just standing and looking cute.

jin handed him salt and pepper, "here, go help kook with the potatoes."

jimin saluted the older male and skipped over to his best friend, not even asking before dumping a decent amount of salt over the cooking home fries.

there was a brief knock, and then another voice booming through the foyer of the house. "i can smell the food from the road." hoseok said while walking into the kitchen. he was smiling and pulling off his coat, dropping it on a stool and instantly making himself at home by grabbing a drink from the fridge.

"how many people did you invite." namjoon asked. there house seemed to get more busy then expected, especially after jungkook being the only one to say he was coming.

"the world." jimin answered for jin, smiling at the camera and then proceeding to recite their address.

jungkook and hoseok burst into loud laughter, hands clapping and heads tilted back. "that would have be so great if this was a live video." the ravenette was grinning and bumped his shoulder against his friend. the blonde just smiled proud of himself nonetheless.

"remind me to edit that out." jin told his boyfriend who was already writing it on a sticky note and leaving it on the camera. "we're gonna need more food," namjoon also said, "i'll order takeout."

the stove was full, three pans all cooking some part of this meal for taehyung. the smells were filling the whole house and everyone seemed to have rumbling stomachs wondering how this would turn out. none of them have had a garbage plate before anyways, except for jimin. "okay so this needs to sit and stay warm until taehyung is almost here. then we can throw it all together." jin said.

"throw it all together?" both jungkook and jimin spoke at the same time, apparently offended that their hyung would use such terms to explain this meal. "we will put this together with perfect placement," the ravenette said, he had a hand on his hip and waved the wooden spoon around.

"yeah!" jimin copied the boy, hand also on his hip with a finger waved around instead of a spoon, "there will be no throwing it together."

jin just rolled his eyes and ignored the two boys and their antics. "okay so first we will split the plate between mac and potatoes." he took the pot of macaroni salad and filled half the plate with it, leaving the other side for the home fries that jungkook was still stirring.

"guys!" hoseok interrupted jin and the way he was explaining the steps to the official garbage plate. "yoongi is coming now with taehyung!"

a panic ensued, jungkook threw home fries in the air as he screamed in panic as well as the higher pitch from jimin beside him. namjoon screamed out of fright and hoseok only screamed because everyone else was.

there was a headache forming behind jins eyes, those dark orbs staring into the lens with the other screamed and ran around him. "and this is the end of my channel goodnight everyone." he said.

"focus!" jungkook yelled. he poured the home fries on the plate while the shorter blonde friend was standing ready with the pan of meat sauce to be poured over the patties added to the top.

"i see yoongis car in the driveway!" hoseok came running through the foyer.

"fuck!" jimin and jungkook yelled while putting together the garbage plate. it was looking good, and the blonde kept stealing bites to make sure it was tasting perfect.

they had just finished pouring the hot sauce all over when there was a knock on the door, echoing somewhat before being drowned out by more screams. by now the camera was only catching boys running around and screaming as if the whole house was on fire, when in reality it was just a smiling boy standing outside. taehyung was fixing his scarf, only turning to his hyung for a second. "does it look okay hyung?" he asked.

yoongi smiled and rugged on the fabric a bit to tighten it around the boys neck to fit snugly, "you look good tae."

he was still nervous for some reason, the lack of texts from his boyfriend was alarming and he couldn't help the surprise when seeing yoongi outside his house. taehyung didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't what was being those doors.

taehyung has walked through them countless of times, but none like this. there was the smell, one that threw him back years to a fuzzy time he couldn't quite place. the darkness was odd, especially when jin would always be there with drinks and the lights shining off marble and the big fancy chandelier hanging in the foyer.

"yoongi, where is everyone-" taehyung started to say to the boy beside him, lighting holding onto the back of his shirt.

before any answer could be given, the lights were thrown on and shouts were bouncing off the walls. taehyung screamed and even scared his hyung beside him, making yoongi also jump despite knowing the plans already.

"congratulations!" all his friends were there, jin with his camera and the others all smiling in the kitchen.

taehyung saw his best friend, jimin clapping his hands and bouncing on his feet. he saw hoseok still shouting surprise while opening a champagne bottle to celebrate. namjoon was there too, that famous gentle smile and dimples on display as he also saw everything come together.

and taehyung saw his boyfriend — jungkook, who didn't seem to be phased by any of the noise or actions around him as he simply walked forward to cup the brunettes cheeks. "i missed you today." he said quietly, their lips were practically brushing at this point.

"show me." taehyung said, already begging for the space to disappear. it's been too long.

jungkook grinned, not waiting another second before connecting their lips in a sweet kiss that had their breath leaving their lungs and hearts beating wildly.

"you did this all for me?" taehyung asked once they broke away. he looked at everyone again, also acknowledging the camera still recording them and suddenly feeling his cheeks warm.

"we all did." jungkook corrected. there was no way he could do this without them all, even though it was something as simple as cooking his boyfriend his favorite meal. "now come." he pulled the brunette into the kitchen now, letting jimin do the dramatic reveal.

"surprise!" jimin said again, pulling the lid off the plate and getting just as excited as taehyung did. "oh my gosh!" he yelled, "is that what i think it is!"

"yes!" the blonde yelled. they had a moment and held hands, jumping up and down like little children.

"i love all of you." taehyung waited no longer, grabbing a handful of silverware before going to the table, "everyone gets a bite."

jungkook didn't expect anything less from the boy. this night was made for him but of course he'd share it with them all. it was a single serving size, but they all crowded around and stole a bite from the plate, falling in love the mix of flavors and spices dancing in their mouths. maybe it was the great food, or maybe it was mainly the company, but something about it all made this the perfect time, and be perfect place no one wanted to leave.
