"Oh no, they burned again", I groaned as I took out the burnt cookies out of the oven.

I've tried perfecting my cooking and baking for over a month already and nothing I make tastes good.

My mom kept telling me in order to not lose Jin from my life, I have to do something for him so he'll know I appreciate and cherish our relationship. My mom would always say a way to get to a man's heart is through his stomach. And here I am, burning everything I make.

I sat on the counter and pouted as I stared at the cookies.

"What happened here?", Jin asked as he saw the mess in the kitchen.

"N-Nothing", I said as I hid the cookies behind my back.

"Did you bake something?", he asked.

"No", I said.

He made a face and moved me out of the way.

"Oooh you made cookies", he said as he took one in his mouth.

"No wait", I tried snatching the cookie away but it was too late.

He took a bite and made a face. He took the cookie out of his mouth and slowly placed it back on the tray.

"I tried to warn you. They're sorta burnt", I sheepishly said.

"Sorta? (Y/n), they're like rocks", he said, banging the cookie on the edge of the counter.

"Ugh, I'm useless", I groaned.

"No you're not. You just need practice. I'll help you so you could learn faster", he smiled.

"But I need to learn to do it myself. What if you get sick or something? How am I gonna feed you? You can't live your life eating ramen noodles", I whined.

"First of all, I can't be sick my whole life. And second, there's nothing wrong with eating ramen for a couple of days. I've done it before. Anyways, don't you wanna learn how I make my special soup? You always end up finishing it", Jin smiled.

"No I don't. That's you. Stop pointing fingers. And I guess it won't hurt to learn from you. I mean I'd rather learn from you than anyone else. You're food always comes out tasting delicious", I clapped my hands.

After hours of making food, Jin grabbed a fork and started poking the food he was about to eat. I bit my lip and crossed my fingers, hoping it would come out as good as the way Jin makes food. When the fork touched his lips, I raised my eyebrows as I waited for Jin's opinion.

"This is really good", Jin said as he stuffed his mouth with more food.

"Really?? Finally", I sighed in relief.

"See, all you needed was patience....and me. Well now that I taught you a few things, imma give you some homework", he said.

"But I'm not even in school", I said, confused.

"It's gonna be Valentine's Day on Friday so instead of me taking you out somewhere, you will make dinner for us. And if I really like the food, then I give you a prize. But if I don't like it, you get nothing. Got it?", he said.

"Wait what?? That's too much pressure for me. Why do I have to do it? Can't I make it some other day? I don't wanna ruin Valentine's Day", I pouted.

"You said you wanted to learn right? Just think of this as cooking class", he said before kissing my cheek.

I groaned before walking away to the bedroom. I paced back and forth as I thought about what I should make for Valentine's Day. I called J-Hope so I could tell him what's going on.

"Hobiiiiii I neeed heeeeeelp!", I yelled.

"What's going on?? Are you being attacked by snakes?!"

"What? No. Jin wants me to cook something for Valentine's Day but I don't know what. What do you think I should cook?", I asked, hoping for an answer.

"Well you should cook something that Jin likes to eat. He loves spicy noodles."

"No I'm not cooking noodles. I always make that. I want it to be special food for a special day", I groaned.

"Uh..pizza?"

I groaned louder and dropped myself on the bed.

*~*~*~*~*~

It's Valentine's Day and I'm still trying to figure out what to cook. Jin said he had to go to work but will be back before 7pm so that gives me a couple of hours to think of something, cook it, get dressed and serve the food before Jin gets here.

After a few phone calls, I decided to make Doenjang jjigae. I prepared everything and kept telling myself to not screw it up.

I took a quick shower and wore the dress I bought a few days ago. After doing my hair and make up, I went back to the kitchen and prepared the table. It's ten minutes away from seven and I started panicking. I also wanted to make dessert instead of just cooking dinner so I made a chocolate chip pie. I just hope everything comes out the way I expect.

"Wow, (y/n) this looks amazing", Jin said.

"Thanks. I wanted today to be different", I said.

I stared at the flowers and chocolates that he was holding on each hand.

"Oh...these are for you. I didn't know what flowers you like so I got all of them. The rest is in the car. Don't worry about that though I'll get them later", he smiled.

I blushed as he stared at me with those gorgeous eyes. He put the flowers in a vase and put the chocolates aside.

When we sat down, I waited for Jin to take a bite of the food. My lip was probably bleeding from how hard I was biting it. Jin's eyes widened and stared at the plate in front of him as he chewed on the food that was in his mouth.

"So? How is it?", I asked nervously.

"You made this by yourself??", he asked.

"Yea", I said as I looked down.

"It's good! How did you manage to do all of this and cook a delicious meal?", he asked as he took more bites.

"Well I learned from the best", I smiled.

*~*~*~*~*~

As I was washing the dishes, I felt a pair of hands wrap around my waist.

"What are you doing? I'll wash the dishes tomorrow. You deserve your prize now", he whispered into my ear.

"Ooh a prize. What kind of prize? Do I get ice cream?", I asked excitedly.

"Yea, you get ice cream. It's vanilla flavor...sorta", he smirked.

"Hm?", I raised an eyebrow, confused of what he was talking about.

He rolled his eyes and chuckled while he carried me into the bedroom.

"So it's not ice cream?", I blushed.
