2022, January 2nd

New years was a great day, a great start as it was a Sunday.

So many things happened while I was here for three long years. My boyfriend Kim Taehyung was working on a new good song on his birthday.

I didn't ponder much, but my curiosity got the best of me.

"Taetae?" I call out the young man. He was sprawled upon his computer desk. All lights out while the blinding brightness of his big computer screen burned my eyes. "Ugh. My eyes!" I cry out, switching the lights on.

"Haha, what is it?" Taehyung extends his arm as he turns around. Smiling, I sit on my rightful throne while getting the kisses I needed to end my day. He's been awfully sweet all through our dating life so far. There has never been a hassle, except for normal couple fights.

"Happy new year again." I say, to make him smile.

"Hmm..." he snuggles more into my neck. His arm that slithered around my thick waist tightens around, making me inch closer towards the no-no zone.

"Happy new year to you too, love. Where is Tannie?" He asks, "Well you told me send him to your sister, no?" I raise an eyebrow.

"That's great." He cheers, suddenly. "Because he won't be around while I'm making love to his mommy."

This is the kind of progress that happened in our relationship. Taehyung is always about stuff like this. He loves teasing me and I love being teased. Sometimes, it goes vice versa. But in other times, we actually get down to business.

Chuckling, I get off his lap and kiss his jaw.

"Dinner's ready. Come back later again." I breathe on his jaw. The sexy man rises from his seat while our hands were still intertwined. We stare into each other's eyes. It feels like I'm consuming wine while I'm staring at him. The sweet, dizzy feeling is addictive.

"Beans. My absolute favorite." The way he sarcastically picks on his fried green beans makes me laugh out. He hates beans more than anything else.

"It's good for your bones, Tae."

"You know," he starts as I look over at him, "You're starting to become more and more like my mother. I might as well get to marry another motherly figure than a girlfriend to wife upgrade." He says as I take some time to catch up to his logic.

He's not changed a bit. Not a bit.

"Better than a person who can't cook nor take care of you." I respond. My response makes him quite speechless. Pointing the fork, he nods. "Correct answer."

Shaking my head, I go back to eating while he does too. The comfortable silence comes to an end when he gets to his feet and takes his plates to the sink.

"Done already?" I ask him, noticing how less he's eaten.

"I'm full for now! I'll eat some more in the midnight. If I'm hungry." He states while running back upstairs. Not forgetting to steal a kiss from me though.

I stare at the emptiness that surrounded me.

Becoming his girlfriend meant cutting more of work time and I was getting incredibly bored. For more than two years, I've barely talked to everyone in the department and couldn't keep up with the news that flowed either.

There was no one as a chef in their building. The boys never liked anyone else and I know the reason why. There were always two of reasons;

They lacked professionalism. The chefs appointed would often indulge in extracting any misleading information to leak to the public. Ever since Covid happened, the company has been a lot for protective of their employees but what about the artists?

Each and every information was misleading and made a fuss about.

And the reason were the newly appointed dieticians and chefs.

The other reason was...

It was obvious.

Those dieticians lacked the art of cookery. Cookery must be done with love and the feeling of trust and care are its ingredients. My boys have been eating what I've made for too long and have been accustomed to what I feed them.

They loved eating, as always.

It pains me to see how they eat take out more than home made food these days.

If i could only find a way to get back to the company and start working again, I will bring the old Bangtan back.

This is a promise to self.

Nari never gives up.
