Snowflakes and Pouts! (Fluffy Taekook) Episode 04

•

The bake-off kitchen was a flurry of activity, with teams scrambling to gather ingredients and get started on their festive creations.

Jungkook and Taehyung were assigned a station near the center, where a giant bowl of flour and a stack of colorful mixing bowls awaited them.

Kim Taehyung

So, what’s the plan?

Taehyung asked, leaning casually against the counter as Jungkook surveyed their supplies.

Jeon Jungkook

We’re making a Christmas cake.

Jungkook replied, his voice firm and determined.

Jeon Jungkook

It needs to be perfect, so follow my lead.

Taehyung chuckled, leaning in closer.

Kim Taehyung

Yes, chef!

he teased, his breath warm against Jungkook’s ear.

Jungkook’s cheeks flushed a deep red, and he turned away quickly, focusing on the task at hand.

Jeon Jungkook

Just measure the flour.

he mumbled, trying to ignore the fluttery feeling in his chest.

As they worked, it became painfully clear that Taehyung was not the most coordinated in the kitchen. He spilled sugar on the counter, cracked an egg too hard, and managed to get flour in his hair within the first ten minutes.

Jeon Jungkook

Yah, Taehyung-ssi!

Jungkook exclaimed, his voice rising in exasperation as he brushed flour off Taehyung’s shoulder.

Jeon Jungkook

Be careful!

Taehyung grinned sheepishly, holding up his hands in surrender.

Kim Taehyung

Sorry, sorry~

he said, his deep voice laced with amusement.

Kim Taehyung

I’m not used to this.

Jungkook let out a dramatic sigh, shaking his head.

Jeon Jungkook

You’re hopeless.

he muttered, but there was no real malice in his tone.

Taehyung’s grin turned mischievous, and before Jungkook could react, he scooped up a handful of flour and lightly tossed it in Jungkook’s direction.

Jungkook gasped, his eyes wide with shock.

Jeon Jungkook

Yah!

he shouted, his pout returning in full force.

Jeon Jungkook

Kim Taehyung, what are you doing?!

Taehyung laughed, his rich, deep voice filling the air.

Kim Taehyung

Lightening the mood.

he said, clearly amused by Jungkook’s reaction.

Jungkook narrowed his eyes, his lips curving into a mischievous smirk. Without warning, he grabbed a handful of flour and flung it back at Taehyung, hitting him square in the chest.

Jeon Jungkook

What now?

Jungkook challenged, his giggles spilling out despite his best efforts to look serious.

Taehyung blinked in surprise, then burst into laughter.

Kim Taehyung

You’ve started a war, Jeon Jungkook!

he declared, reaching for more flour.

The kitchen quickly descended into chaos as the two of them launched handfuls of flour at each other, their laughter echoing through the room.

By the time the timer for the bake-off rang, both Jungkook and Taehyung were covered in flour from head to toe, their once-pristine kitchen a complete mess

Jungkook pouted as he surveyed the disaster, his cheeks puffing out adorably.

Jeon Jungkook

Look at this mess.

he whined, pointing to the counter.

Jeon Jungkook

We’re never going to win now!

Taehyung stepped closer, brushing a stray lock of hair out of Jungkook’s face.

Kim Taehyung

I don’t know about that.

he said softly, his voice tinged with warmth.

Kim Taehyung

I think we made something pretty special here.

Jungkook’s pout softened, his gaze meeting Taehyung’s. For a moment, the world seemed to fade away, leaving just the two of them standing there, surrounded by the remnants of their flour fight.

Jeon Jungkook

Maybe..

Jungkook murmured, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

Taehyung’s grin widened as he reached down to pick up their completed cake, which miraculously looked presentable despite the chaos.

Kim Taehyung

Let’s show them what we’ve got.

he said, his confidence unwavering.

Jungkook nodded, his heart fluttering as he followed Taehyung to the judging table. Despite the mess, he couldn’t deny that this had been the most fun he’d had in a long time.

The bake-off ended with Jungkook and Taehyung taking second place, but neither of them cared much about the trophy.

As they walked home together, the snow crunching beneath their boots, Jungkook couldn’t help but glance over at Taehyung, his chest warm with an unfamiliar feeling.

Jeon Jungkook

Taehyung-ssi!

he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper.

Taehyung turned to him, his dark eyes filled with curiosity.

Kim Taehyung

Yes, Jungkook?

Jeon Jungkook

Thanks for today.

Jungkook mumbled, his cheeks pink as he looked down at the ground.

Jeon Jungkook

It was… fun.

Taehyung’s smile was slow and genuine, his voice soft as he replied.
