part ten
The sun had risen fully, casting a warm glow over the kitchen as I prepared breakfast with Jin. It was our little ritual, and today, Jin had eagerly volunteered to assist. His magical prowess was legendary, and I was excited to see how his skills would translate into our culinary adventure.
“Alright, Jin,” I said cheerfully, setting out the ingredients on the counter. “What are we cooking today?”
Jin flashed me a bright smile and twirled his wand with practiced ease. “How about a hearty vegetarian breakfast spread? We can make some fluffy pancakes, crispy hash browns, and fruit salad. I’ll handle the magic, and you can focus on the more manual tasks.”
“Sounds good to me!” I replied enthusiastically. I began slicing vegetables for the hash browns, trying to get into the rhythm of cooking. Jin, meanwhile, was already casting spells to get the hash browns cooking and the pancake batter mixing with a wave of his wand.
It started off smoothly, with Jin’s magic adding a touch of efficiency to the kitchen. The hash browns sizzled and crackled in the pan, and the pancake batter seemed to mix itself to perfection. I felt confident, and Jin’s magic was making everything easier. But soon, things took an unexpected turn.
As I was busy preparing the fruit for the salad, Jin’s magical aura seemed to grow more intense. His spells, while effective, started to create a chaotic symphony of kitchen appliances. The blender whirred at a higher speed, the mixer started spinning faster, and the frying pan levitated slightly off the stove.
“Whoa, Jin! Maybe tone it down a notch?” I called out, trying to keep everything under control.
Jin glanced over with a sheepish grin. “Oops! Sorry about that. I guess I got a bit carried away.”
Just as he said that, the frying pan tilted precariously, sending a few pieces of hash browns flying through the air. One of them landed on my shoulder, and I tried to brush it off while laughing. The kitchen was becoming a scene of delightful chaos.
“Looks like breakfast is turning into an adventure,” I joked, trying to maintain my balance.
Jin’s laughter filled the kitchen as he adjusted his spells, trying to regain control. “I promise, I’ll get this under control. But you know, magic can be a bit unpredictable sometimes.”
I nodded, still trying to keep up with the situation. The pancake batter, now enchanted to mix itself, began to bubble over the sides of the bowl, creating a small mess. I tried to manage it with a spatula, but the batter had a mind of its own.
“Jin!” I exclaimed as the batter started to creep up the sides of the counter. “A little help here!”
Jin rushed over, his wand flailing wildly as he tried to contain the batter. In his attempt to fix the situation, he accidentally enchanted the flour canister, which promptly burst open and sent a cloud of white powder into the air. I was now covered in a fine layer of flour, looking like a ghost from a very peculiar cooking show.
“Oh no, now you’re a flour monster!” Jin said, trying to stifle his laughter as he waved his wand to clear the mess.
“Great,” I said, trying to wipe the flour off my face. “Just what I needed—flour in places flour should never be.”
Jin tried to help clean up, but his magic only seemed to make things worse. The kitchen was now filled with floating utensils and ingredients that refused to stay put. At one point, the spatula danced around the room as if it had a life of its own, and a bowl of pancake batter nearly hit Jin in the face.
“I think we might need to dial back the magic a bit,” I suggested, my voice muffled by the flour that had now settled on my clothes.
Jin nodded, his expression a mix of amusement and concentration. “Yeah, I guess I got a little too enthusiastic. I’ll focus on the basics.”
With that, Jin reined in his magic, and things began to calm down. The frying pan returned to its place, the blender slowed to a more manageable pace, and the pancake batter finally stopped its rebellious bubbling. Jin’s magic now assisted in a more subtle way, and the kitchen returned to something resembling order.
“Thanks for sticking with me,” Jin said, giving me an apologetic smile as he started to plate the food.
“Of course,” I said, returning his smile. “It’s all part of the fun, right? Besides, I’m sure the pancakes will taste amazing.”
As we sat down to enjoy our breakfast, the aftermath of the morning’s chaos became a topic of laughter and jokes. The boys gathered around, clearly amused by the story of our kitchen escapades.
“Looks like Jin’s magic was a bit too magical today,” Namjoon teased, grinning as he took a bite of the perfectly cooked pancakes.
Jungkook, still in his dragon form and munching on a piece of hash brown, added, “I think the flour monster suit looks pretty good on you, Rosalie. You should consider making it a permanent look.”
I laughed, shaking my head. “Very funny, you guys. But in all seriousness, Jin’s magic added a unique twist to our breakfast. I’ve never had a meal prepared with such... flair.”
Jin blushed slightly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Well, I guess I can be a bit overzealous sometimes. But hey, at least we didn’t burn the house down.”
“I’ll take the flour over a fire any day,” I said, grinning at Jin. “Thanks for the help, Jin. The breakfast was delicious, despite the little adventure.”
As we continued to enjoy our meal, the kitchen chaos became just another amusing memory. The morning had been filled with laughter and playful banter, and it was clear that despite the mishaps, the time spent with Jin and the other boys was becoming increasingly precious.
The flour had eventually been cleaned up, and the kitchen returned to its usual state. Jin’s magical touch had certainly made for an unforgettable breakfast, and it was a testament to the fact that sometimes, the best moments come from the most unexpected circumstances.
And so, with full bellies and cheerful hearts, we finished our breakfast, ready to face whatever the day had in store for us. The flour monster and the magical mishaps were now part of our shared history, a reminder that even in moments of chaos, there was always room for laughter and connection.
The day had been busy with various activities, and as evening approached, I found myself feeling both tired and a bit in need of relaxation. Tae, ever perceptive to the needs of those around him, noticed my fatigue and offered a thoughtful solution.
"Rosalie," he began softly, "I noticed you’ve been working hard all day. How about I give you a relaxing bath? I promise it’ll be a soothing experience."
His offer caught me off guard, but the thought of unwinding in a warm bath was incredibly appealing. "Are you sure, Tae? I don’t want to impose."
He gave me a reassuring smile. "Not at all. It’s my pleasure. Just let me take care of you for a change."
With a nod of acceptance, I followed Tae to the spacious bathroom, which had been thoughtfully prepared with candles and soft lighting. The room had a calming ambiance, with fragrant lavender and chamomile wafting through the air. Tae had even set up a few plush towels and bathrobes neatly arranged on a nearby rack.
As I entered the bathroom, I was greeted by the sight of a beautifully set bath. The tub was filled with warm water and topped with a layer of bubbles. Tae had also added some flower petals to the water, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
"Wow, Tae, this looks amazing," I said, my eyes wide with appreciation. "You really went all out."
Tae's face flushed slightly with pleasure. "I’m glad you like it. I just wanted to make sure you have a relaxing time."
He gestured for me to sit on a nearby stool while he prepared the bath. "Feel free to get comfortable. I’ll be right here if you need anything."
I took a deep breath and slowly undressed, feeling a bit self-conscious but also looking forward to the soothing bath. As I settled into the warm water, I sighed with relief as the tension began to melt away. The bubbles tickled my skin, and the petals floated around me, adding a touch of elegance to the experience.
Tae was attentive and gentle, making sure everything was perfect. He adjusted the water temperature to ensure it was just right, and his movements were careful and deliberate as he prepared a few bath products. He added a splash of fragrant bath oil, which filled the air with a delightful aroma.
"How’s the water?" Tae asked, his voice soft and caring.
"It’s perfect," I replied, my voice carrying a hint of contentment. "Thank you, Tae. This is just what I needed."
He smiled warmly and began to gently wash my hair, his touch light and soothing. As he worked, he hummed a soft melody that further enhanced the calming atmosphere. His fingers massaged my scalp with a tenderness that made me feel both relaxed and cherished.
"You have such a calming presence," I said, feeling my worries and stress slip away. "It’s like you have a natural gift for making people feel at ease."
Tae chuckled softly. "Thank you. I just enjoy making others happy. Seeing you relaxed and comfortable means a lot to me."
After he finished washing my hair, he carefully rinsed it and then began to gently scrub my back with a soft sponge. The sensation was both invigorating and relaxing, and I couldn’t help but let out a contented sigh.
"You’re so good at this," I said, turning to face him with a smile. "I feel like I’m being pampered by a professional."
Tae's cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "I’m glad you think so. I’m just trying to make sure you have a peaceful and enjoyable experience."
The bath continued with Tae’s gentle care and attentiveness. He talked to me softly about light and pleasant topics, keeping the conversation easygoing and enjoyable. Every so often, he would lean in closer, his warm breath sending a slight shiver down my spine as he made sure I was comfortable.
When the time came to finish the bath, Tae carefully helped me out of the tub, wrapping me in a soft, fluffy towel. He patted me dry with gentle hands, making sure I felt warm and cozy.
"You look so relaxed now," Tae said, his eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "I hope this was as enjoyable for you as it was for me."
"It was wonderful," I replied, feeling truly pampered. "Thank you for making this such a special experience."
Tae smiled, his expression soft and tender. "I’m happy to hear that. You deserve moments like this."
As I dressed in the comfortable bathrobe Tae had prepared for me, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of gratitude and affection for him. His thoughtfulness and the care he put into making the bath perfect were clear signs of his genuine nature and his desire to make everyone around him feel special.
Tae escorted me back to the common area, where the others were relaxing. The warmth from the bath and the soothing experience had left me feeling completely rejuvenated. Tae’s gesture had not only provided physical relaxation but also emotional comfort, making me feel even more at home with my new family.
As I settled back into the living area, I looked at Tae with a grateful smile. "Thanks again, Tae. It really means a lot to me."
He smiled back, his eyes reflecting genuine care. "Anytime, Rosalie. It’s a pleasure to take care of you."
With that, we joined the others, ready to enjoy the rest of the evening. Tae’s kindness and the lovely bath he had provided were a beautiful reminder of the warmth and connection we were building together.
