~Y/N POV~

I've been wondering around this castle doing my duties as normal but all the while trying to ignore Jungkook. Again he's been trying to hang out with me while I work and get me to talk to him and I do but not a lot. I can't be too rude, I'm not that kind of person. But the time is always cut short when someone comes looking for him. So it relieves me that he finally leaves me alone for the day.

It's not that I don't want his attention it's just I'm scared to. I'm scared of what could happen between us since I know all too well how much I still love him and I don't want to go through what I did last time. The first time was enough.

I may not want to spend much time with him but I always think of him. Even as I walk out the guest
chambers and back towards the laundry room with my basket full of dirty sheet.

"Excuse me! Hello?!"

I stopped in my tracks to the sound of a males voice shouting from the kitchen. I stared at the double brown doors that were left slightly open with a gap. Out of nowhere a face popped out through the gap with wondering eyes until they fell upon me frozen at the door.

"Ah I knew I heard someone. Can you come help me for just a moment?"

I didn't know if that would be okay so I checked my surroundings down the corridor looking in both directions for anyone. I heard the man chuckle and push the door more open with one hand on the handle.

"No one can say anything about it. Just come help me."

He grabbed my wrist and pulled me in before I could say anything. Walking in after him did he shut the kitchen doors again and take my basket out my hand and place it on the floor beside the door.

"Sir Jin, I really shouldn't. I have work to do and I don't think this is allowed."

I was so nervous of getting caught and not doing my actual job and that was not to be in the kitchen. Actually come to think of it looking around the room there was no one here besides Jin. Usually there's always four people in the kitchen sometimes more.

"Oh hush, you're with me the kings cousin and you're going to help me make him pancakes!! He's been in a foul mood all day and he needs cheering up!!" Jin

Jungkooks in a bad mood today?
Well I haven't seen him today so I wouldnt know why.

Again he grabs my hand and leads me to the large wooden table that already had a bowl and a mixer, among other things.

"As you can see I have almost everything I need, but I forgot to ask where the flour and eggs are. Do you happen to know where they are by any chance?" Jin

He sheepishly scratches the back of his neck, lowering his gaze to his feet. I bit my lip to prevent myself from laughing at how cute he looks all flustered because he couldn't find what he needed in the kitchen.

"I do. The flour and eggs just so happen to be in the same place."

I turn to point at the walk in behind me with a large single wooden door on the far end of the room. There's two in this kitchen, one is for dried foods and the other is for chilled, since we don't have a freezer here because everything comes in fresh with meat deliveries everyday. I know this much because of minseo. She told me all of this and growing up here and running through this kitchen sometimes you come to know almost everything when it comes to the servants areas and what not.

Jins face lit up, his mouth shaping to form a large O as he follows where I pointed to and walks over to the large door. Opening it up I watched him walk in and then come back out with a wide handsome smile on his face carrying the eggs in one hand and the flour in the other.

Walking back over did he place the ingredients down and began to mix what he needed to do. Myself not sure whether I was excused or not stood still at my spot next to him and watch him in awe. I may have been through this kitchen many times before but never did I actually stand and watch someone make something as simple as pancakes or anything for that matter. It was fascinating to watch and Jin didn't seem to care as he was in his own little world of baking that was until as he was mixing his batter did he whip his head back in my direction.

He did that so fast it startled me and I took a step back lowering my gaze to the floor in case he did not want to look at him.

"Do you like to watch people bake? Or am I just that handsome?" Jin

I bit my lip yet again like before to hide my smile that was trying to show itself to him. I did alway find him pretty funny with his comments that's over heard him say over the years around Jungkook and the others. So other than Hoseok I would have to say Jin was my second favourite even if this moment here is the most we've ever talked.

"Both."

I tried to be brave answering him honestly taking a glance at him to see his reaction. I thought he'd me mad but instead he shows me something of surprise yet amused by my sudden honesty.

"You're honest. I like that in a woman. Come here, I'll show you something's." Jin

He gestures to me with his head turning the opposite way while he still continues to mix. I do as I says and step closer to him until I'm stood right next to him.

"Have you ever baked before?" Jin

I shook my head watching the mix in the bowl churn in all different directions.

"You've never baked before yet you know you're way around the kitchen?" Jin

I nod, picking up a spoon and inspecting it for some strange reason. I just feel the need to do so since I didn't really know how else to react to his question.

"Yes. But I grew up here so you can say I know this place almost as well as Jun- I mean the king."

I quickly corrected myself placing the spoon quickly back down with panic when Jin puts the bowl down to turn and look at me with a hand on the hip and the other firmly placed on the table.

"It's quite alright y/n. You don't have to call him that around me. I know of you two being close growing up, it's no secret." Jin

Gasping I stared back at him in shock as I'm sure my eyes were bulging out my head right now while Jin seems unfazed by my reaction.

"Y-you knew?"

"Of course I did. Just like how I know of his affection that he still has towards you." Jin

This tile I squint my eyes at him suspiciously but then sigh sadly because I know that if I end up talking with him about Jungkook I'll start to get emotional and I just don't want that. So I didn't say anything.

Jin must of sensed my sadness and desperate need to change the subject he also sighs too and drops his hand from his hip.

"So tell me about yourself then? I've always been curious to ask you if you happened to have had any schooling? Any education at all?" Jin

He asks turning his full body to face the table again facing me a view of his side profile. Why does he want to know that?

"I er, no. No education just only a little from what Jungkook taught me over the years when we use to be close."

He drops his whisk that he just picked up creating aloud bang as he fell to the table but hitting off the side of the bowl on its way down.

"What?! None? Like seriously?" Jin

I shook my head and fiddled with my fingers in front of me as I grew extra nervous. It's a touchy subject really.

"So what did he teach you then? If it's okay to ask? You don't have to answer if your embarrassed." Jin

"I can count to 100 and read just a little bit only certain words. Thanks to Jungkook or I wouldn't be able to do anything."

I glanced up at him who was staring down at me with sadness and pity. I didn't want his pity but I could understand his sadness. I'm a 24 year old woman who was barely educated, something I was neglected of as a child.

"You know I-" Jin

"Hyung!! What's taking so long?! I thought you were making pancakes?!"

Jungkook storms into the room wall blades and glory. He looked ready to throw hands was his patience was growing thin. Jungkooks forehead creased with deep frown lines and his red cheeks in anger and not to mention balled up fists my his sides. Jin was right he was not in a good mood today.

"I am!! As you can see I have assistance!! Y/n!!" Jin

Jin points at me and Jungkooks raging eyes settle to me for the first time after charging into the room. Jungkook only in response to seeing me here with Jin alone in this kitchen squints his eyes at me for a moment before scoffing.

"You don't need help to make pancakes Jin!" Jungkook

"Yah! You may be my king but you are still my little cousin and I will treat you as such!! Y/n is being a dear and helping me because I asked her too!! Now if you want your pancakes I suggest you behave or you'll get none!!" Jin

Jungkook scowls at Jin, both men now holding a stand off with stares and glares until Jungkook groans in defeat giving me one last glance and storming out the kitchen slamming the door shut behind him, that causes me to flinch in fright.

"I'm sorry about him y/n. As I've told you he's in a bad mood today." Jin

I could hear the sympathy in his voice but I shook it off. I should be use to it by now but I'm not.

"It okay. I really should get back to work anyway."

I began to walk over to my basket by the door that Jungkook just stormed off though but a hand grabs my wrist yet again to stop me.

"No it's okay. Just stay never mind that brat. I like your company. Please?" Jin

He bats his lashes at me while pouting his lips in bid for me to stay with him and I couldn't help it. His face looked too adorable to say no too so I nodded allowing myself to smile

In return he cheers jumping up and down on the spot and pulls me back to where we both stood before behind the table and I began to help him with of course Jin telling me what needed to be done. I have to say he was a fun guy, more than what I thought he would be.
