Waking up to the brightly lite sun shining through the face of the earth is poetry on its own. The raven head nuzzled his nose on a soft surface he buried his face in and inhaled deeply. Such a sweet and warm morning to lose the comfort he felt the night before.

He lazily cocooned himself further into a fist of ball snuggling deeper into the warmth.

"I didn't know you're a morning cuddler."

Jungkook's heart hammered sharply jolting him awake from the deep sleep he was diving into. He jumped up so fast as he didn't notice where he landed in the process.

"Morning Bambi."

The raven head is currently still laying on top of the older who wore a lazy smile at the corner of his lips, arms underneath his head. That's probably how Jungkook would have wanted to wake up to in the morning if and only if this fine specimen is his man.

Unfortunately, the thought of looking at the sinful Taehyung flexing his biceps in the morning makes Jungkook's heart sink like a Titanic ship.

"S-sorry."

"Don't be, I like cuddles." Taehyung quickly grabs hold of the younger's waist who tried to detach his body from the older. "Thanks for sleeping over, I had a very good night sleep last night."

Jungkook nodded as he was unable to hold his head high and look into the intoxicating hazel orbs which lured him in more than it should. The raven head was ready to keep things at an arm's length by strictly treating the older as a friend. Looks like it's failing pretty miserably. And fast too.

"Um, can I freshen up?" The raven head asked when he noticed Taehyung was not making any move to let him go.

"Sure, the bathroom is right there. Look into the cabinet beside the sink for the supplies."

Finally, the raven head sighed in relief internally when he felt the grip around his waist loosen. It was a struggle to detach himself from the older and it was a pain to walk with Taehyung's eyes bearing holes at the back of his head. Jungkook knows for sure that the hazel orbs are following his every move for he caught a glimpse of Taehyung checking him out through the mirror at the side of the room angled for his view.

By the time when Jungkook was done and changed into the clothes from the previous day, he noticed the bedroom was neatly made with not even a wrinkle on the bed shared by him and the older. The thought about sleeping in the same bed with Taehyung made Jungkook's heart flutter in all kind of ways.

"Jungkook?"

"Hm?" The younger turned in the direction of the kitchen as he walked out of the room catching the older calling out for him.

"Do you want some breakfast?"

"No, that's alright. I have extended my stay here more than needed. I can't trouble you with breakfast."

"Stop speaking rubbish Kook. Firstly, you're not a guest, you're a friend. A friend means a family member, so you're Jungkook, you're my family. I can do anything for a member of my family. Now sit right here, take this cereal and milk."

Taehyung placed several containers of cereals, some bananas and milk for Jungkook to ensemble his bowl.

"I'm sorry I can't spend the time cooking. You see, it's already 9 am and I am supposed to open the bakery at 10, we don't have much time."

"Oh don't be Tae. I'm fine with cereal. It's one of my favourite go-to options when I am not on diet." Jungkook happily grabbed hold of the sugary delight with a sprinkle of milk soaking the bowl. To get hold of the maximum nutrient in his breakfast, Jungkook cut some banana slices to fill it up. He looked up to see Taehyung smiling at him while the older placed a few strawberries on his bowl.

Guess Tae likes strawberry.

Jungkook took a spoonful of cereal and stuff it in his mouth looking like a stuffed bunny.

"Have anyone told you that you smile like a bunny?" Taehyung asked as he closed the glass of milk he was holding, settling them on the island top. He was leaning into the island while Jungkook sat on the high bar stool.

The younger who was munching a mouthful slowed down his action as he tried not to choke on his cereal. Taehyung has no sense of time in making Jungkook fluster or go into a panic mode.

Figured that the older will not stop until he responds, Jungkook nodded his head. Those are some of the basic comments he hears people who know him say. He looks like a bunny when he smiles.

"Cute. But I'm the only one to call you Bambi?"

Jungkook nodded his head again.

"Awesome, then Bambi belongs to me then." Taehyung took a spoonful of his slightly mushed cereal with a bite of the sweet strawberry liking how his morning is kickstarting with his younger friend at his home.

After a rather quick and silent breakfast, Taehyung was ready to head to his bakery. Jungkook on the other hand doesn't know if he should continue to follow the older or head back home. They didn't have a chat about it so it makes Jungkook wonder about his next course of action.

"Kook? Do you perhaps wanna hang around the bakery today? Jin said he might be late. Which means he will not come in until the last couple of hours. Saturdays are pretty busy so I would love it if you can help me out?"

What should he say? Reject? This time he heard every single word by the older loud and clear.

"Sure. I don't know what can I do to help but I'll try?"

"Sweet! Come on then. And oh yeah, I'll spare you some wages yea, don't worry. I don't take free labours."

Jungkook wanted to protest that he is absolutely fine without the money but guess Taehyung was rushing to prepare the bakery for business when he sees the older rushing around to get the hell out of the house and to his bakery.

.

"And that is how you operate this cha-ching machine. Got it?" Tae was demonstrating to Jungkook how to use the cashier with 10 minutes to spare before the bakery is officially open. There isn't any crowd or anything outside the bakery but it soon will be buzzing bees when the sign turn from closed to open.

"Ok, that's easy." Jungkook huffed in relief when he notices how easy he can manage the cash flow and orders.

"I know you'll be a natural Kooks." Taehyung pinched on Jungkook's cheeks creating a soft hue of red from the pressure. Thankfully the brown head did not stay longer to witness the dusty rose cheeks turning into an even darker colour in red.

Jeon fucking Jungkook stop blushing!

The raven head cursed himself as he cupped his cheeks feeling the heat in the Saturday morning sun underneath the air conditioning space.

"Oh, I have called in Yoongs too, if he comes in then I will have him manage the counter with you. I need to cover the coffee station as well as the kitchen." Taehyung popped his head out of the kitchen door before walking back in.

Jungkook didn't have the time to react as he was concentrating to calm his wild thought. Seriously speaking, the amount of unhealthy obsession he is feeling for Taehyung is insane. The chances of maintaining Tae as his friend is becoming slimmer and slimmer.

It must have reached 10 am when he noticed the older walking around the bakery one last time before turning the closed sign around to open. "Time to rock and roll Bambi. But first, you need to wear an apron. Just to be safe, don't wanna be having you spilling all around don't you?" The brown head winked with a soft chuckle as he moved back to the kitchen, starting his handy work on the dough.

The raven head grabbed hold of the apron and tied it around his tiny waist to the best memory he had from the previous experience he had with Taehyung. Fortunately, he didn't need to embarrass himself this time as he managed to secure the black apron neatly on his waist.

When he looked up, he had a mini cardiac arrest as Taehyung now had a red with white pattern cloth tied around his forehead, pushing his brown bangs back. The cloth turned bandana was secured with a knot right at his nape creating a manly look on his messy hair.

What made Jungkook's mouth drool is the way Taehyung had his arms veins popping each time he kneaded the dough making his serious look that much inviting as the patissier concentrated on his work.

While he concentrated on his work, Jungkook concentrated on his man. I mean on Taehyung.

"Damn." His breath came out as a whisper when he sighs on a frustrating note. This man can never be his. Jungkook probably will never find someone as caring, handsome and vibrant as Tae. From the best he knew of Taehyung, Jungkook can tell how amazing the older is as a person. Someone who has a heart of an angel, a man who knows what he wants and someone who loves others to the best of his ability.

That is Taehyung. A kind and loving soul. Someone whom Jungkook deprived of in his life.

"Hello? Excuse me?"

Jungkook's daydream was cut short with a loud yelling voice of a woman at the cashier.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Welcome to V's Bakery. What would you like today?"

The lady who was initially furious with the lack of customer service by Jungkook dropped her anger as soon as the handsome ravenette turned around with an apologetic look on his face. To top that, Jungkook looked amazing with his all-black ensemble, shirts hugging his muscular chest at all the right places flashing his infamous bunny smile.

"That's fine. No issues. Can I have a piece of each please?" She pointed at the 10 different pastries on the glass display, eyes never moving away from the raven head.

"Sure, right up." Jungkook on the other hand felt exhilarated when his first ring out order allowed him to sell 10 pieces of Taehyung's hand-baked pastries.

The rest of the morning went on splendidly with Jungkook dashing through the incoming crowd, selling the baked goodies off the chart. When it comes to 1 in the afternoon, Jungkook packed 3 cookies into a brown bag handing them over to a little girl who insisted Jungkook add some sprinkles on top.

"Thank you bunny."

"You're welcome sweetie." Jungkook purposely came out from the back of the counter and handed the bag to the little girl while bopping his nose. He smiled even more with the thought of the little girl calling him a bunny.

"Looks like I won't be able to afford you if you're going to be doing such an amazing job. More than what Jin for the past year."

Jungkook turned back to the older leaning against the wall watching him with starry eyes. At least that's what the raven head thought when he saw the older's hazel eyes sparkled.

"I didn't do much. I just packed and received the cash. That's all."

"And that's all I needed Jungkook."

Taehyung was occasionally running to the coffee station when he gets the memo for coffee orders. It's not as many as it was for usual weekdays as people are more prone to buying pastries for family and friends over the weekends, cutting short the need to grab a coffee for work or college. At least that's how the pattern is seen at V's Bakery.

"I made us some sandwiches for lunch, do you want to have them now?"

"You made us lunch?"

"Mhm, I can't have a hungry Jungkookie roaming around now can't I?" Taehyung uncrossed his arms while he pointed for Jungkook to follow him.

"But the front counter?"

"I can see the front door from the kitchen. Don't worry, if there is anyone then I'll attend to them." Taehyung said as he pointed at the rectangular glass which separates the space providing a nice and neat vicinity into the kitchen with all the tables and ovens.

Jungkook nodded as he followed the older like a lost puppy.

"This is for you and this is for me."

"You added chilli in mine?" Jungkook noticed the strands of chilli sticking out from his sandwich. Taehyung made pepperoni sandwiches for them with additional chilli on Jungkook's.

"I know you like your food a little spicy. I can't take spicy food so I didn't add in mine."

The raven head nodded. He was glad about Taehyung's memory about his preference from the chat they had last night. Across the time they spent together, both Tae and Jungkook realized what each of the like and dislike. It also surprised them how similar they are in person.

"Doesn't this look like a little date?"

Jungkook choked. For real this time. Taehyung laughed as he continued to admire the flustered look on Jungkook's face.
