"We need to call Y/n."

"No we don't Namjoon."

"Yeah we do, she is going to be pissed when she finds out we made a mess in her kitchen. Especially when she showed us how to make cookies."

"I'm not calling her."

Namjoon and Taehyung were standing in their shared kitchen, staring at the explosion of flour. It was supposed to be a kind gesture, but it all went downhill. Even though they watch Y/n in the kitchen, making goods all the time, Taehyung and Namjoon never got the hang of it. Even better, Taehyung can not use an electric mixer for the life of him.

"Tae, if anyone can help you make cookies it's Y/n. She bakes more than anyone we know."

"I can't call her though. The second she reads my name she'll decline." Tae sadly stares at the flour-covered countertop.

Joon sighs tiredly, "Hey Tae, just because you guys haven't been hanging out as much doesn't mean anything. Just because she started dating Justin, doesn't mean you guys aren't as close as before. It definitely doesn't mean she hates you. Doesn't the absence of the heart make it grow?" He looks over at Taehyung, "Plus I think she would be excited to hear from you.

Tae shakes his head lightly, "It's not like we grew apart. I pushed her away, not literally. I blew her off. Ignored her until I got a text telling me that I shouldn't talk to her until I was off my 'man-period'. I liked her so much, Joon. I-"

"Liked? I think you mean like. I mean you are writing her name in the flour." Joon laughs.

Taehyung looks down at the counter in surprise, he had been trying to hide his feelings for Y/n for so long he hadn't even realized what his hands had been doing while they were talking.

*Flash Back*

Taehyung had been sitting at his desk writing the lyrics to his new song 'Winter Bear', when he had fallen asleep. Then Namjoon came back. He sat up and looked at the door expectantly, his ears picking up Joon's voice and... someone else's? Trying to calm his anxiety down, he laid his head back down. Namjoon and the stranger walked into the kitchen.

"Alright so if Jin makes fun of my shoes again I say- what was it?" The stranger laughed when they heard this. Namjoon brought a girl back?

"You say 'it's called fashion, look it up dork'." The girl laughed again. The sound of crinkling bags filled his ears when they hit the counter as Joon and the girl continued to talk. The sound of her voice was light and sweet, it was very soothing. Taehyung found himself relaxing to the sound of her voice. Once his nerve calmed down more, he slowly started to drift back off into sleep.

Namjoon walked over to Taehyung and gently shook his shoulder to wake him. "Hey want a brownie?"

"Not if you made it. You can't cook for shit Joon." Namjoon just rolled his eyes, "I didn't make them, promise. I have a friend I want you to meet."

Taehyung got up from his desk and followed Namjoon into the kitchen. He wasn't sure what to expect when he walked into the kitchen, but it certainly wasn't her. He has been around many women, especially when the boys are doing concert fan-meets. She was breathtakingly beautiful, but effortlessly so. She sat on the clean counter with her phone in one hand, and a brownie in the other. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun, tiny wisps that fell framing her face. Small smudges of cacao powder was smeared across her face. More smudges could be seen on her apron. She looked up as the two walked in.

"And besides you don't cook brownies." Joon said heading towards the brownie filled pan. Joon looked at her, "What did you say the difference was?"

"You were sort of close, cooking is the general term for preparing food. Baking is a more specific form of cooking that involves the oven. So technically we cooked them by preparing them, but most people would look at you weird if you say that you 'cooked' brownies."

She turned her gaze, "You must be Taehyung. I'm Y/n." she held out her hand and gave him a warm smile that made his stomach erupt with butterflies. It felt like he was going to vomit. At the same time he liked it. He took the brownie that Joon gave him and took a bite.

"Wow, these brownies are amazing!" He looked at her with excitement.

"These are some bomb-ass brownies." Y/n looked at Joon with wide eyes.

"I am so telling Jin you used the word bomb-ass." She laughed and turned to get her phone.

*End Of Flash Back*

After that day Y/n became a more frequent guest to their apartment. Well as frequent as she could. At first she would only come over at the invitation of Namjoon. One night she came over when all the boys were there. She out drank Yoongi, then they begged for her to come over more often.

The friendship between Y/n and Namjoon caused all kinds of teasing from the members. Well almost all of them. The more time Taehyung spent around her the more he caught feelings. Her laughter became music to his ears. Her eye color became his favorite color. Being around her was never a dull moment. Yet he could never relax around her. Unfortunately she never seemed to feel the same way.

She made a weekly habit of coming over. Movie night, pizza night, you name it. She would specifically watch movies with him if he was lonely. She would bake something amazing every time she came over. Eventually it came to be too much for Taehyung. He wanted to tell her how he felt, but he knew his feelings weren't reciprocated. However, keeping this secret inside, was slowly killing him. So he pushed her away. He made excuses not to hangout with the group when she was in attendance. Stopped answering her calls and texts. Then one day after a few weeks of ignoring her, he got a voicemail.

"Uhm, hey. I have no idea what's going on with you right now. If it's because something I did let me know, But otherwise don't talk to me until you get off your forever long man-period. Please."

It broke his heart to hear her so sad, her voice even broke when she sent it. It was for the best though. Once he moved on from Y/n he would call her. He would tell her why he pushed her away, and how sorry he was. He was ready, he needed her back. He wanted to be her friend.

"Look dude, you gotta get this figured out. It might as well be now. She can come over and help you attempt at whatever you are doing. You two can talk it out. I know you miss her Tae." Namjoon sighed when Tae didn't say anything, "I'll call her, you clean this up."

Taehyung started sweeping the flour onto the floor, then sweeping it into a pile. While Namjoon dialed up Y/n's number on his phone.

"Joon?" Taehyung whipped his head around at the sound of her voice. Namjoon just held a finger to his lips, signaling for Tae to be quiet while she was on the speaker, "Not to be rude or anything but, I'm kind of busy at the moment."

"We have a small emergency." Namjoon fibbed, he knew that if he told her the truth she would've hung up. A small smirk appeared on his face when keys jingled and a door shutting sounded through the phone.

"Is T- Is everything okay!?" She tried to say concealing the worry in her voice- considering she almost said Taehyung's name.

"Oh totally! Sorry, I realize how that must have sounded to you. No one is hurt. I just have an issue that I could really use... your expertise." The smirk turned into a smile when he heard a sigh of relief through the phone.

"This week has been absolute shit, RM. This better not be an attempt from Jin for a 'soft' night over or something." The smile on Namjoon's face dropped when he heard that. She only ever called him 'RM' when something was wrong. Really really wrong. He shot Tae an apologetic look, and took her off speaker while walking out of the room.

"What's going on? Everything okay?" he waited a few moments, "Did he hurt you? You know if he did we'll hunt him down, You know we will be able to find him. I will personally k-" He stopped short, he sighed. "Are you sure you're okay to come over. If you need to stay home and rest. I- we can take care of it. You don't have to come over."

Taehyung's mind was spinning a hundred miles an hour. He was trying to fill in the blanks of the other side of the conversation. Was she hurt? What happened? Is everything alright-

"She's on her way." Namjoon said as he entered the room, "and she asked me not to say anything to anyone, but I don't want you going in blind. So when she gets here just act like you don't know anything okay?" Taehyung nodded in agreement. "She broke up with Justin on Sunday."

Taehyung felt his heart jump. He tried to suppress it. He looked at Namjoon, "Why... Why were you asking if he hurt her?"

"She said the break up was terrible. I wanted to make sure it wasn't physically terrible. She said it was fine, but her wrists are a little sore. He grabbed them at one point and apparently didn't realize how hard he grabbed her."

Taehyung scoffed, yeah "he didn't realize how hard" my ass. He tried to keep his rising anger at a down low while Namjoon recapped the rest of the phone call.

"So in about forty minutes she'll be here. I'm going to meet her downstairs and walk her up. Let's work on fixing the cookies, so she doesn't lose all respect for us when she gets here." Namjoon said in an attempt to make Tae ease up. The next thirty minutes passed in a blink of an eye, yet it lasted a million years at the same time. Taehyung was standing in an emotional seesaw balance of excitement and nervousness. He was zoning out and jumped when Namjoon gently shook his shoulder.

"I'm going to head down early so she sees me when she gets here. She should be here soon. Hang tight, deep breaths.. I know she is going to be happy to see you, no matter how annoyed she might be with you.. Just relax." Namjoon said with a smile. He lightly touched Taehyung on the shoulder and went out the door, shutting it behind him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n walked through the doors to the apartment complex. When she made eye contact with Namjoon she walked over and they hugged. She had let out a breath she hadn't realised she'd been holding. They turned and started for the elevator. Occasionally Namjoon would look at her through the corner of his eyes to see her body language, and to just scan her over.

"Sorry I haven't been around much lately." Her voice tailed off, laced with sadness. Before Namjoon could even mutter a syllable out, Y/n had pushed the 'stop elevator' button. She turned to Namjoon with slightly pink tinted cheeks, "I'minlovewtihTaehyung." She quickly turned and pushed the button once more and the elevator continued. She has cleared her throat after a few moments of silence.

"Sorry I don't know why I had to stop the elevator for that. I had that realisation recently, but I broke up with Justin, and I was sad, and- Why are you making that face at me?"

Namjoon's face broke into a smirk when the original sentence had finally run through his head. He shook his head lightly, "No reason, but um, is that why you broke up with your ex?"

"Yes, I found out when it was the first two weeks in the relationship, I only dated him to-," Y/n's face scrunched up, "Who the hell cooked in here?" Taehyung whipped around with a tray filled with what were supposed to be cookies. His gaze dropped to the charcoal rocks when he had made eye contact with her.

"Oh?" Was all Y/n had said taking in the sight before her eyes. She turned to Namjoon with her eyebrow quirked, "Was this the small emergency?"

"We are so lost without you Y/n." Namjoon let out with a tired smile, "This is our second failed attempt."

She shook her head and sighed. She threw her hair up in a messy bun, "Well just let me wash my hands and get out of the way." She smiled. Her smile made Taehyung's heart melt at the sight.

"Tae, open a window. Joon? Get those rocks out of here." Taehyung tried his best to keep that spark away, but as soon as his name left her lips it began fireworks. The butterflies were back and stronger than ever. It felt like a millennial before Y/n said anything.

"You guys messed up cookies...twice?"

"Yeah,"Taehyung shyly stated whilst rubbing the back of his neck, "The first time I used the electric mixer and well."

"It went everywhere? Have I not taught you anything?" She poked him in his side and laughed, continuing to make cookies for them. "Just watch closely this time will you?" He nodded his head and watched her thoroughly. He hadn't heard anything she had said until she turned around.

"Now the last step: Don't leave it in for too long." She finished wiping her hands together.

"I was making them for you." Taehyung blurted.

"You made them for me? As what?"

"Apology."

"I thought you hated me."

"Y/n I could never hate you. I was just really really stupid. I've been into you, like super into you. I pushed you away because I thought it was never possible that you would feel the same way. So in a way of getting over that I pushed you away. It was a mess for me to do. I'm really sorry Y/n." He looked at her sparkling orbs. She was listening attentively.

"So these were apology cookies you made for me?"

"Well apology, a way for you to come over. A way of saying 'could we be friends again?' those types of things." She wasn't expecting the complete truth from Taehyung. She was experiencing a tornado of emotions. One started to drown out the rest. It was anger. Complete white-hot seething anger.

"You mean to tell me that you ignored me for WEEKS? All because you liked me? What the fuck is wrong with you Tae? You should know that it was always the wrong move when we watched those movies together. How often does it work for the guy?" She stood close to him with her hands on her hips.

"Never.."

"Exactly! It never works!" The time for the oven went off and she turned to get the perfectly round, golden, chocolate chip cookies. Taehyung was a little hesitant to speak at first but he built a little courage.

"They look amazing if that helps at all..." He put on a scared smile, while Y/n turned her glare to face him. He stepped a few steps backward afraid she might throw something at him.

"I am so pissed at you right now." He couldn't help but smile.

"You are but I'm okay with that. Even though I am terrified. I am over the constellations considering you are choosing to be this close with me." She stared at him for a bit but not long, since a smile cracked its way to her face. She pulled his collar down to kiss him. Not at all was their kiss perfect, but it was for them. She pulled away from him," Kim Taehyung you ever, and I mean ever do that to me again, I will throw cookie batter at you."

Taehyung smiled, "Alright I won't."
