Pancake Breakfast! 🥞
Tumblr media
Pancakes are part of a traditional southern breakfast and I was craving them today.
Theyre sweet and nostalgic, reminding me of grandma's house the most and some breakfasts spent at Cracker Barrel with her when I was little.
One part of learning to cook is the magic that is finding out how my favorite foods dont take magic to make! As in, most of what pertains a meal or even an entré is so simple its suprising to me.
Pancakes, to be a bit reductive here, are just fried batter patties! The most simple consisting of what I made this morning (or rather afternoon lol): flour, oil, water, sugar, and leavening agents.
Here I experimented with my own batter making skills with a vegan twist:
all purpose wheat flour
water
olive oil
salt
brown sugar
honey.
I dont have baking powder but since I understand its purpose in a recipe as a leavening agent, I tried to substitute it with baking soda and apple cider vinegar, which kindaaaa worked? Lol I was gonna use lemon for the acid part, but I didnt want a bright citrus taste for these pancakes. Too experimental and not familiar lol.
Tumblr media
With a little reassurance from a skim of internet recipies, what I made turned out not bad! And I was soooo excited when I saw the batter frying and then flipped the cake. Looked just like the Real Thing mama's make!
Tumblr media
I wanted to get a lil experimental and add some trail mix inside. I added them a lil too late for my first pancake (sprinkled some ontop of the raw side of the cake i had frying in the pan yikes), so the texture was a bit grainy. Plus the nuts and fruit burned and the cake on that side didnt look as appetizing lol. But since that was my experimental cake, and was also my first try, I gave myself some grace and focused on the overall experience of eating the entire pancake. And all my efforts proved worth it! It wasnt half bad. :-)
Tumblr media
I just cant imagine eating pancakes without having two, and I also had wayyy too much leftover batter for just one anyway, so I made another and added the trail mix into the batter bowl before pouring it all in, which proved to be a better choice lol. Since I didnt want to waste all the batter I made, and only intended to make one more pancake, i added it all to the pan for a huge one lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It turned out very good, though I do admit I might have to actually buy baking powder for more fluffiness (though the baking soda and acid/cider trick kinda worked! i'll just have to get my proportions down). Also I always over estimate how much oil i need in any given recipie! So it was a bit dense and greasy. But as with all learning experiences, mistakes are inevitable yet valuable!
The rest of my breakfast consisted of a fried egg, baby carrots, a banana, and steamed spinach. Brwakfast wouldnt have sufficed without vegetable elements for me, so I was literally craving vegetable sides rather than just a breakfast of wheat and animal products.
The carrots had a great texture and sweetness, and althought I definitely could have salted the spinachand a egg wayyyy less, the flavors together were supurb. One day I'll have to experiment with making omlets with spinach and vegan cheez bc the flavors are so compatible! 😋
Tumblr media
LeEgg frying in LePan. I broke it up a little oops lol.
I found this recipe online of how to improve my vegan pancake making skills for another hearty breakfast. This one also calls for baking powder but i think my baking soda and acid workaround could still work.
I'll def update this post when I try this particular recipe!

Based on this lovely lil thing
He swears on all the comedy shows he’s ever watched, this would be the exact moment where things would freeze frame, record scratch, and insert corny line, like, “Hi, I’m Steve, you’re probably wondering how i got here-“
And normally, in a situation like this one, it wouldn’t at all be the case. Baking is like, a seriously mundane thing a lot of people do. Mostly housewives, grandmas or kids with their parents but it just so happens that Steve is the one doing the baking right now- and it should have gone without a hitch. So, 20 minutes of digging into the cabinets of his mom’s cook books- he began. He wanted it to be good, not a cop out box of mix because making it from scratch makes it more special. And it’s a fucking cake; how hard could it really be?
Apparently super fucking hard actually. Because what should have been a completely mundane, simple task that takes like 40 minutes tops- Steve was left with this. Referring to the absolute disaster that is his kitchen. There’s like, 8 eggshells scattered all over the countertop- one somehow ending up on the floor and another on his knee. There is a spilling bag of sugar on its side creating a hectic little pile that leaks onto the stove top- (Thank god for his parents expensive ass glass-top stoves.) Somehow he managed to spill olive oil around the sink when the recipe doesn’t even call for it- and to top it all off there is flour covering every inch of the kitchen and himself. The apron he has on does absolutely nothing, the powder covering his pastel blue cashmere button up- and he’s sure he somehow managed to get flour on places where the sun don’t shine. He’s three hours 45 minutes deep at this point and he knows he’s literally about to cry. He can feel his eyes burning with frustration and a huge lump tightening his throat with the threat of unshed tears. How did he get to this point? Well, lets backtrack.
It’s Billy’s birthday tomorrow . Steve has always done something special on Billy’s birthdays- even though he is like, super weird about gifts and being given things. Seriously, last time Steve gave Billy just a dumb little birthday card with snoopy dancing, and text that read ‘a big-smiling, fun-having, great-feeling birthday’- his nose srunched up like he had to sneeze and he gave the most awkward thanks followed by a back pat that- felt so absolutely “hiya pal” that Steve cackled out loud to the point he was in tears. Billy just burned red and sputtered all irritated, “Stop fucking laughing, Harrington.” Guy just cannot handle shows of affection.
This though, was a little more special. A little more personal than a rinky-dink peanuts birthday card- because billy really loved confetti cake. It brought back memories of his mom; how they used to bake the cake together on his younger birthdays, and how much he really missed it. Nothing could really beat the warmth of those memories, or the fondness painting Billy’s face when he recalled them- but goddamit- steve was gonna try, was trying, his actual best. He even convinced Keith that he’d take his next Saturday shift if he let him off the hook today to do this. His nonna had baked with him when he was young-like, 6- so he figured he’d pick it back up. Which was so not the case here. It’s safe to say he is more than a little rusty. So rusty in fact, that his old bike that he got for his 12th birthday that sits in the garage decaying and untouched, had absolutely nothing on him right now.
The first try was peppy; with a shimmy of hips and a waving whisk to the song playing from the sound system in the living room, and Steve thought genuinely that he did it right. He might have, maybe, with the recipe, but the lump of coal that was pulled out of the oven indicated heavily to the opposite. The smoke in the kitchen made Steve cough and gag, having to open up all the windows along with the screen door. The second attempt was a different outcome. Terrible, but different. A cake with singed edges and a liquidy inside that stuck to the pan and got scraped out with an uncermonious plop into the garbage. Mush, really, something akin to the texture of apple sauce. The third attempt Steve really focused, he swears, but that just ended up with a cake that didnt even rise and he was back to square 1 before he knew it with a beautifully new sense of defeat.
So, before he had an actual mental break over a goddamn cake he knew 7 year olds could make better, he called up Ms. Henderson for help. The lady is practically a god when it comes to baking and he really does not know how she does it. Whips out cookies and tarts and cupcakes like it’s going out of style.
“Hmm...oh! Sweetie, I think it might be the cornstarch. It sinks to the bottom of the pan if you don’t add baking soda- did you add baking soda?”
Steve glances at the forgotten unopened box of baking soda leaned against the stoves backsplash. He slaps himself mentally.
“Um, no. No i did not do that.”
“Well then, that’s it! You simply forgot a key ingredient is all. Not a big deal in the slightest.” Ms. Henderson was always very sweet to steve. Maybe because Dustin had become a little brother to him, but she never ever made him feel dumb. Always assured him mistakes are simply human.
“Right, right, yeah. I’ll add that. Thank you Ms. Henderson.” Steve goes to run a hand through his hair but is met with the headband pulling Steve’s hair from his eyes.
“Its Claudia sweetie, you know that.” Steve could hear the smile in her voice. She makes him feel better.
She gave a few more tips, how just white sugar might dry out the cake when used too much and using brown sugar will make the cake’s texture fluffier. He thanks her and hangs up with a sigh. Back to work.
He follows each step meticulously, following Claudia’s directions to a T and slips it into the oven; prays to god that this will be the last time he tries this. He’s only got one egg left and the overly sweet assortment of smells is starting to make him nauseous. After 45 excruciating minutes, Steve huffs and pulls out the cake. It looks... actually it looks like a cake. He smiles crookedly- holding his breath as he slips the cake onto the tray. It comes out in one piece, albeit lopsided, Steve whoops. He finally fucking did it- the cake actually looks like a confetti cake- and Steve is just so fucking proud of it, already going in to make the frosting before theres a ring at the door.
He frowns, wiping the flour on his watch head. It’s midnight- 12:07 am. Jesus christ, he started this at 7 pm, he didn’t even realize-
He hurries up to the door trying to wipe off the flour and make himself semi presentable. The door swings open and it’s Billy. He’s holding a six pack of Natural Light and a smirk that warps into a surprised raise of his eyebrows at Steve’s current state. He’s sure he must like he just ran a drug cartel or something.
“Hi, pretty boy.” Billy says as he walks in, checking Steve up and down. “Whats uh, whats up with your threads? Look like you jumped head first into coke or got real personal with Frosty the Snowman”
Stve rolls his eyes. His breath catches when he sees Billy start walking to the kitchen. He runs and blocks Billy in the doorway.
“You can’t go in there.”
Billy frowns, “What, you actually got drugs in there or somethin’?”
“No- you just- you can’t go in there. Not allowed.”
“Cmon baby whatcha got in there?” Billy starts to nudge past him; never was good at waiting.
“Wait, no- Billy- don’t-“
Billy takes in the state of the kitchen with a confused look and low whistle before his eyes land on the unfrosted confetti cake sitting on the kitchen island in all it’s lopsided glory. He freezes.
Steve waddles up behind him; following his gaze as he chews on his lip.
“I’m sorry, didn’t have time to make the frosting. Wanted it to be a surprise.” Steve scratches the nape of his neck sheepishly.
Billy’s still just standing there, and for a moment Steve is afraid he overstepped. That he was hijacking a moment from Billy’s mom that was only okay to do if she did it. He tries to get a read on Billy from his side profile since Billy is only turned slightly towards him but he can’t. A few more seconds of Billy standing there- and what Steve hopes is stunned silence- before Billy quietly murmurs,
“You made me a confetti cake?”
Steve holds his breath after a strained little, “Yeah.” The unshed tears from earlier are threatening to fall again, “You said you loved confetti cake, and that it made you happy. Wanted to make you happy.”
Billy spins on his heel fast, catching Steve’s face in his hands and lips with his own. Steve’s heart bursts and jerks a little with the surprise. It’s a chaste thing, just a press of lips, before Billy pulls away.
“You’re so... you just...” Billy trailed off and it was, like, a huge thing for Steve in that moment. Billy? Speechless? Steve never thought he’d see the day. It makes his face heat but his heart full and he beams.
“I’m... what?” He draws out.
“Fuckin’- somethin’. You’re somethin’ else.” Billy tugs him in by the waist and uses the other hand to swipe at the flour on Steve’s cheek. He looks so goddamn fond it makes Steve’s heart rate skyrocket.
“Is it okay?”
Billy hums, “It’s so okay. So much better than okay.”
He presses sweet little kisses to Steve’s lips and Steve can’t stop smiling.
“Well,” he says between pecks, “I wanted to do something special.”
Billy hums again, kisses trailing pepper like to his cheeks, his forehead, his nose and now down his neck.
Steve fights down the urge to shiver as he wraps his arms around the other’s shoulders. But-then he feels a wetness at the crook of his neck and makes a soft concerned noise at the back off his throat. He tugs Billy gently off and is met with blue, glassy eyes. Billy was tearing up.
“Thank you.” Billy says wetly, gently, before hugging Steve tight. “God- i- thank you.”
Steve smiles sweetly, hands going into Billy’s hair. He doesn’t ask because he doesn’t need to. Knows that this is Billy being happy, knows that this isn’t bad, knows Billy. Loves Billy.
Steve pokes Billy’s sides- grins, “Happy birthday, baby.” And punctuates it with a kiss.

Gruvia week - Day 4: Sugar
MISSING SUGAR
Warnings: None
Relationship: Gruvia
Summary: Juvia plans on surprising Gray with a cake, but things just keep getting in the way.
Tumblr media
*************************************************
The first time Juvia tried to bake a cake for her love, it ended up in a disaster. The kitchen was a mess, the cake half burnt and she's pretty sure she almost poisoned Wendy who was nice enough to try it.
But as everyone in Fairy Tail knew, Juvia wasn't one to give up so easily. She didnt give up on winning Gray for herself and she sure wasn't going to give up on this cake. It isn't like Juvias a bad cook. Her Gray buns turned out delicious every time. So why was this so hard?
Juvia read through the instruction carefully, making sure not to miss a point. She was determined not to mess this up. She started by putting all the ingredients she needed on the table in front of her. Eggs, milk, flour, sugar.. Where was the sugar?
Juvia looked everywhere possible but came up empty. How could she have forgotten about the sugar? She can't do a cake without it, she had it last time and even then the cake managed to be sour according to Wendy's judgement.
Trying not to freak out, Juvia took a deep breath before deciding to ask one of the girls for it. Sure one of them could lend her some sugar.
She went from home to home, but with no success. It was like the whole guild was out of sugar. Cana, Lucy, Mira, Erza.. even Levy, the one who always has everything was out of it. Juvia seemed to have no luck. Frustrated she let herself fall on the bench next to the lake. All she wanted was to bake a cake she could surprise her darling with. Was that too much?
Focused on her thoughts, Juvia didnt register the person coming and sitting next to her.
"What is it that got you so deep in thoughts?"
"Graysama, what are you doing her?"
"I just came back from the mission and was on my way home when I saw you sitting here all by yourself. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, don't worry. Juvia just planned to bake today but ran out of sugar. No one else seems to have some either."
"Oh, what did you want to bake?"
Juvia turned red. What was she supposed to do now? She couldn't tell Gray what she was planning on doing, it was a surprise after all.
"Why are you turning red? Wait, don't tell me.. you're planning on doing those buns again, aren't you?"
Gray looked at her sternly. While Juvia didn't intend to do that, it was a good way of getting out of telling him the truth so she just nodded her head eagerly. At her response, the ice mage just sighed and shook his head looking amused.
"You're something else. I'll be honest, even though it was weird to eat my own face, I admit they were delicious. So if you promise me to not put my face on them this time I can give you some sugar, I have a bag at my place and I don't plan to use it anytime soon. Sounds good?"
"Yes, although Juvia cant promise that she can resist on not putting your face on at least one bun."
Gray just chuckled at her answer before taking her hand and making his way towards his home.
The next day:
Juvia was tired. She didn't think it was possible for her to sleep that long. It had taken her forever to finish the cake and decorate it perfectly, but it turned out just the way she wanted it to. She couldn't wait to give it to her darling. Taking her time she got dressed and did her hair, even applying some makeup for the occasion. She packed the cake in a box carefully before making her way to Gray. But when she arrived at his place it seemed to be empty. It wasn't until Gajeel walked past her that she knew why.
"Juvia, what are you doing her? Everyone is already in the guild hall celebrating. Lucy and Erza organized a big surprise party for Grays birthday. She got decorations, music and a huge cake. Its awesome."
Juvias heart shattered. This wasn't going the way she had planned at all. She was the one who wanted to surprise him. And now her rival had stolen her moment. All the hard work for nothing. She stared down at the box. Stupid cake, all the work for nothing..
Juvia started walking back home, not being in the mood for a party when she saw Gray on the same bench he was sitting at with her yesterday. What was he doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be at his party? Something must be wrong. She made her way over to him, sitting down next to him just like he had yesterday.
"What is it that got you so deep in thoughts?"
She couldn't see his face but she know that her question made the ice mage smile.
"I guess finding the other like this became our thing, huh?"
"What's wrong Graysama. Shouldn't you be at the party? Everyone sure misses you there."
"No, don't worry about that. They're all too drunk to even realize. Besides, I'm not really a party person. What about you? I didnt see you there earlier."
He had noticed. It filled her heart with joy knowing that her love looked out for her and realized her absence.
"Juvia was at your place."
He raised an eyebrow and looked at her questioningly.
"Juvia made you something and had planned to give it to you. But you weren't there. And then Gajeel told her about the party."
"Is that it? Is it for me?"
At this point both were looking at the box. The cake was already done, so she might as well give it to him. Handing over the box, she waited for his reaction. But there was none. Gray just kept staring at the cake inside, not reacting.
"Is something wrong? It's a chocolate cake filled with strawberries and whipped cream."
"No, it's just.. my mom used to make the same cake on my birthday. It's my favorite.. thank you Juvia, this means a lot."
The way his eyes shined with happiness, the genuine smile on his face, it filled Juvias heart with joy. The work was worth it after all.
"So that's what you needed the sugar for, huh? I have to admit I was really excited for the buns but this is so much better. Let's go, we'll share this cake between the two of us, the rest can have that bought one they got me."
Juvia couldn't help the laugh that escaped her. Taking his hand in hers, he started walking to his place, just like he had yesterday. This was definitely something Juvia wouldn't mind getting used to. And when he looked back at her, with that boyish grin, she knew that this day couldn't have gone any better after all.
"Happy birthday Graysama."

Cookie
ONEWE - Kanghyun
you sighed and sighed as you rolled around your bed.
it was a Saturday and you were bored to death. your parents left earlier for their wedding anniversary trip. so you were alone at home for 3 whole days.
you didn't feel like going out but you were just sooooooo restless not doing anything. you tried reading some books but you were just not feeling it.
you decided to just make some food for yourseld but the whole cooking and eating process onky took like 45 minutes.
you still had a long day to go. you quickly sat up on your bed when you thought of an idea.you reached for your phone to text your childhood friend!Hyungu.
well, Hyungu was one of your close friends because he was actually your neighbour who lives right next to your house . cliche bla bla but it was true.
your rooms were right opposite of each other so you could see each other through your room windows. sometimes you would secretly peek into his room and giggle to yourself.
yes you had a tiny little crush on him. Hyungu was always reading a book or playing his guitar when he was in his room. you really admire Hyungu when he was focused.
To : ☆Kang Hyungu☆
-- heyyyyy , you there? im kind of bored :(( --
you hit send and waited for a few minutes. you frowned and sighed. Hyungu was the only person you could think of right now. but he wasn't replying to your text anytime soon.
you went to the window and tried throwing some balled papers to knock his window. this was normal, the two of you would sometimes knock on each other's window to talk.
yeah phones exist but face to face interactions were just more precious. and also, because your windows were quite far and your voices would always be drowned together with the street noises, you and Hyungu had telephone cups.
yes the thing where you connect 2 cups to communicate .
you could call and text each other like normal people but the two of you were just used to this as you started since you were children.
again, there was no response from Hyungu's side. you sighed and plopped down on your bed, disappointed. *maybe he is not at home*. you thought.
you decided to entertain yourself by rewatching Harry Potter ; Prisoner of Azkaban. that was your favourite movie out of all the movies. because Harry looked extra good there.
anyways, halfway into the movie, you finally got a message notification from Hyungu. you swore you've never sat up from your bed so quickly before.
From : ☆Kang Hyungu☆
-- oh my, sorry for the late reply! i was making something earlier. if you're still bored, you wanna come over ? --
before you could reply his text, Hyungu texted you again. his message warmed up your cheeks as you read it.
From : ☆Kang Hyungu☆
-- no actually, i want you to come over. --
you quickly went to the washroom to wash your face and freshen up a bit. you know it was just a normal hang out but you just wanted to look presentable to Hyungu today.
you wore your favourite red sweatshirt and patted down your hair before leaving your house and heading to Hyungu's .
"y/n! come in!". the door opened, revealing Hyungu who was wearing an apron, all dusted with flour.
you scanned his 'outfit' which earned you a little giggle from Hyungu.
"don't worry,i didn't set my kitchen on fire. Harin helped me bake some cupcakes earlier. he already left because he had other plans.". Hyungu explained with a cute grin.
you nodded in understandment and smiled widely. "soooo, you want me to taste the cupcakes?". you anticipated.
Hyungu chuckled and nodded his head as he told you to wait at the dining table while he took the cupcakes.
salted caramel cupcakes.
"your favourite!". Hyungu chimed as he nudged his head towards the sweet treats , allowing you to taste some.
your eyes widened in excitement as you quickly reached for one.
"mmmmmmmm!". you let out a satisfied sound as salty sweet caramel flowed into your mouth as you bite into the soft cupcake.
Hyungu grinned at your reaction. all those naggings from Harin were worth it. Hyungu was glad you loved the cupcakes he made.
"aren't you eating?". you asked as your cheeks were full with the fluffly dough.
Hyungu chuckled again and ruffled your head. he leaned down to your eye level and poked your cheeks.
"hey don't talk when you're eating. you could choke. i ate some already so you can have them all.".
you blinked at Hyungu's actions and the close distance between the two of you. you felt your face warmed up.
you quickly swallowed the food and looked away. "o--oh tha-thankss..". you stuttered.
after a few minutes, everything went back to normal as the two of you chose a game to play .
"Dead or Alive!". you exclaimed.
Hyungu sighed and nodded. "that's like the ONLY game you always want to play.".
you pouted and flicked his forehead.
"noo i do play the games that you choose too!". you defended yourself.
Hyungu scrunched up his nose and turned on the said game. "okay okay, i understand that you sometimes have to let out the violence in you,". Hyungu teased.
you rolled your eyes and hit his arm. "i can just let it out on you!". you replied as you stuck your tongue out at Hyungu.
Hyungu chuckled and ruffled your hair again as he sat next to you and started the game.
you and Hyungu played for hours and only stopped when your stomachs growled.
"you have anything ?". you asked Hyungu.
Hyungu tapped his chin as he thought of the stuffs he had at home.
"i guess we have some pasta. you wanna fix some for dinner?". Hyungu asked.
you nodded and went to the kitchen as Hyungu cleaned up the game station.
Hyungu was right, they had some pasta. there was also some seafood . since both your stomachs were growling like mad, you decided to just go with something simple and made some aglio olio. simple but delicious and filling.
Hyungu was currently living alone in his house. his parents had some business overseas so they had to stay out of country for a few months. hence the two of them didn't have to worry about finishing up all the food.
"ahhhh that was great! thanks for the food,". Hyungu thanked as he volunteered to wash the dishes since you cooked.
it was getting late, you thanked Hyungu for the day and was about to excuse yourself when he stopped you.
"wait wait, i made a cookie for you . eat them right when you reach home okay?". Hyungu said as he passed you a medium sized fortune cookie that he packed in a paper bag .
you were confused but nodded as you got ready to go home. the usual 5-second trip took 3 as you were excited to eat the cookie Hyungu made you.
you were curious why he told you to eat it right you reached home. you knew fortune cookie always had a note inside.
and something in you hoped it was something good. something that would make you smile widely.
you went into your bedroom and unpacked the bag before taking out the cookie.
~ dear y/n.
you might find this lame and all, but i really like you since middle school. i am not sure of what more to say but, will you be my girlfriend?
☆Hyungu☆ ~
the printed words on the paper read.
blink
nani
blink
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH". you squealed into your pillow.
you really didnt believe your eyes. your crush has a crush on you? this is like too good to be true.
you want to believe it was just a prank but knowing Hyungu, who rarely expresses his emotions, he wouldn't play about these things.
of course you hesitated for a bit. Hyungu was a good guy but do you really deserve him? probably not but it doesn't hurt to try, right?
you quickly went to your window and threw your balled paper to attract his attention.
a few seconds later, a shy Hyungu appeared at his window as he opened it. you threw over a cup for him to listen to the things you wanted to say.
"yes. over.". you said.
Hyungu blinked and quickly held the cup to his mouth.
"yo-you mean , yes ? you want to be my girlfriend? over.". he stuttered.
you chuckled and replied though the cup.
"yes Hyungu. i like you too and i would love to be your girlfriend. over.".
Hyungu smiled widely and could not help but chuckle happily.
"then can i come over ? it feels cold here after you left. over.". your boyfriend!Hyungu asked cutely.
you scrunched up your nose and chuckled.
"grr you clingy boy. it's night time already! come over tomorrow okay? i am kind of tired and i want to go sleep. over.". you answered.
you could see Hyungu's deep pout as he got his answer.
"alright then... goodnight! over.". Hyungu bid.
you smiled and nodded as you waved at him. he threw back the cup to you . you caught the cup and quickly gave him a flying kiss before closing your window and running back to your bed.
Hyungu chuckled at your actions and held his chest.
"damn, the things you do to my heart...". Hyungu mumbled as he too got ready for bed.
Hyungu have had feelings for you since middle school. he realised this when boys started asking you out. well, you were a pretty girl after all.
but he didn't like you just because you were pretty, he loved your personality. although the two of you often argue with each other, it just made you two closer than ever.
Hyungu realised he had to make his move when you started dating some boys during highschool. he knew you didn't really like those boys but you dated them just so you don't hurt their feelings.
now that you're both in college, Hyungu was really determined to make you his.
he decided to ask help from Harin to teach him how to bake. you really love sweet stuffs and he really wanted to make you something you love.
although Harin nagged and scolded him a lot, Hyungu thought it was all worth it. because at the end of the day, he made you smile. and of course, you became his girlfriend.
it was really the best day of his life.

Prompt 5? scenario??
I feel like in so many fics, stories, novels etc theres rarely ever a representation of bigger ppl, like theres rarely a romance story where the character is like overweight, theyre usually hot characters and as someone who has little to no self confidence myself lool itd be nice to read a fic where the mc is stuggling with their physical appearance and they slowly overcome this inner struggle with the help of their partner, yes maybe by losing weight and stuff cuz thats being healthy, but NOT like the character lost all their weight and became sexy and “worth loving” or shit, like itd be nice to just read a fic where its genuinely focused on the way their body is now and how they learn to love themselves and understand that they are just as worthy for love as anyone else So i was thinking of this au where you are an overweight person maybe lets say 75 to 80 kg or more watever u choose and have struggled with it all ur life
Uve always been the chubby one in ur family and it kind of stayed like that progressing as u got older and shit
And ur family has always picked fun at u about it not in like a spiteful way kind of like in the way where theyre teasing u but theres a hint of truth behind it And u try to not let it bother u but it does anyway and ur self esteem and confidence isnt exactly up there
And ur one of those romantic saps and just rlly want someone to love u and u imagine all the different things u cud do with ur boyfriend but u dnt think ull ever hav that becuz of ur weight and self confidence issues
Anyways so i imagine u to be in ur like 20s maybe mid 20s idk basically an age where ur living by urself in a small apartment and hav a job etc So one day ur walking home alright, cuz u missed the bus home and u were like okay ill start walking for now and maybe another bus will come as im walking to the next stop And so ur walking with ur earbuds in, listening to music wen all of a sudden someone running bumps into u harshy from behind and u lose ur balance starting to fall, completely startled And the guy who bumped into u stops in his tracks with his wide eyes and comes rushing bak to help u up and ur like mad pissed cuz like fuck that hurt and wtf watch where ur going  
But hes apologizing and is like im so sorry im just in a rlly big rush and i didnt rlly see u there and i rlly hav to go now cuz im running late
And ur trying to keep up with wat hes saying cuz everything is just happening so fast and ur still dazed with ur palms stinging from scraping the ground
And then hes leaving screaming over his shoulder saying im rlly srry! My names taehyung (i imagine him as taehyung but anyone who wants to write this can use whomever) and i wrk over at that bakery down the street, come down there and i promise to giv a free treat as an apology and then just like that hes gone and ur still like wtf just happened
And u continue on with ur day, kind of annoyed, but u get home and just relax and get some food and watch some tv
so a few days pass and everythings normal and fine, until one day ur running late and so u hav no time to make breakfast before u leave to work and then u remember that a new bakery opened up near ur workplace and so ull just buy something from there and so u get ready and rush out the door
and then u get to the area and enter the bakery and its all cute with a pink theme and little cupcake and cake and brownie decorations and its all sweet and ur just admiring the place untill u remember fuck im running late
and so u quickly go to the counter and u greet the cashier with a smile and ur like hi can i just get a quick muffin, im running late and need to hurry and the cashier with a nametag saying jimin is all smiles too and is like of course! wat wud u like
and u look over at the display and see these amazing delicious looking muffins and a bunch of other goodies and u see a big double chocolate muffin that looks mouth watering anf u rlly want it but then u get self conscious and start thinking that shit if i order that hes probably gonna think of course the fat one wud order the fat filled treat and so u kind of show a small smile and order the banana and nut muffin instead wen all of a sudden u hear someone call out
and u look behind jimin and see the guy who had bumped into u the other day and ur like oh…
and taehyung rushes up to u and is like hi! i was wondering wen u were gonna come in for ur treat! im rlly rlly srry about the other day, i was running late and my boss seokjin wud murder me if i came in late one more time and he smiles his rectangular smile at u
and u giv him a wary smile and reply a bit confused cuz u hav no idea wat he means by treat and then jimin comes bak with ur muffin and is like here u go! and ur like thanks! and startt giving him ur money wen tae reaches out and is like watre u doing! i said u get a free treat!
and ur like huh? and then he looks at ur order and hes like a banana muffin?! why dnt u try one that i made?
and he ignores jimin whos looking at tae with exasperation and reaches out with the littl tongs and gets that chocolate muffin u were eyeing before and plops that into ur mufin bag as well and at this point ur sort of overwhelmed and u try to refuse cuz ur thinking that u rlly dnt need those extra calories
ut tae refuses and is like its on me, i rlly owe u, and at this point ur srsly running late and so u giv him a smile and say thank u so much and quickly leave the bakery with a bye and ur food and quickly make ur way to ur workplace
and then wen u finally sit down at ur seat and try to regulate ur breathing, u take out ur food to stop the growling from ur stomach and take a bite out of the chocolate muffin and u moan cuz fuck that shits rlly fricking good and probably the best muffin uve ever had and proceed to devour it (and u tell urself that thats already a lot of calories and so i cant eat the banana muffin too, but end up eating it later on not able to resist it)
and u knew that u were definitely gonna go to the bakery more often cuz that place makes heavenly food
and so a few days pass and one day on a day off u go out with ur friend and her boyfriend and u loved spending time with them but seeing all their cute interactions set this longing feeling deep in ur gut and u get sad becuz u rlly wished u had someone like that but u cant help but feel thats never gonna happen
and so to try and make urself feel better u decide to go to the bakery again and get something to lift ur mood
and so u enter the bakery and breathe in the wonderful yummy smell and wait in line to order something wen u hear a familiar voice calling out hey
and u look towards the voice and see taehyung next to a tall broad shouldered man behind the counters looking like they were baking something and hes waving at u wen the man beside him slaps him upside the head and tell him to continue wrking as tae pouts and u cant help but let out a little laugh at that becuz its funny and cute
and then u get to the counter and its jimin again and he givs u a big smile and greets u and asks wat ull hav today and u look to the side to see the differnt assortments they have wen taehyung calls out again saying
try the strawberry shortcake! i made it this mrning!
and then proceeds to earn another glare from the man beside him
and jimin lets out an exasperated laugh and is like srry, ignore tae u can get watever u want of course and ur amused and ur like its fine, i dnt mind i like strawberry and so u decide to go with the recommendation and order the shortcake along with a small hot chocolate with little marshmallows while taehyung beams at u which u return with a chuckle
and then u take ur food and sit at a little booth on the side next to the window and take a bite out of the cake and u cant help but moan at the flavours becuz holy crap how can something be so good
and so u enjoy ur treat and then drink ur hot choclate wen tae comes up to u with a smile
and he sits across u at the table and ur looking at him confused cuz ummm….
and hes like soooooo howd u like the cake? and the muffin i made the other day? its good huh?
and u laugh and ur like i loved them both and u compliment him saying hes an amazing baker and u introduce urself and u guys make small talk and u learn that being a full time baker and opening his own bakery is his dream and the first step to that is becoming an apprentice for his boss seokjin whos also an amazing cook
and u listen to him ramble, honestly surprised at how open hes being with u since u guys are technically strangers
and then he gets called bak by jimin saying his break is over
and its safe to say that ur mood definitely changed for the better and u smile to urself even after he leaves cuz tht was nice
and uk thts how i imagine u guys start to get knowing eachother, u visit the bakery often and talk to tae often and u guys become closer and rlly good friends and its already been a few months since u got to know him and the others at the bakery
and i imagine tae to be a lil shit sometimes constantly winking at u and flirting and tbh u dnt rlly realize it at first becuz flirting? with u? pshh
and then one day u go to ur parents place where ur family was meeting up for a bbq and u were having a good time cuz u missed ur fam
but then ur mom takes u aside and starts talking about ur weight and shes saying how shes wrried about ur weight and about how shes wrried that ull hav trouble finding a life long partner wen ur not healthy and uk shes just concerned for u but it leaves u feeling rlly depressed and u try ur best to hold in ur tears for the rest of the day
and then u finally leave and ur making ur way home, ur head down, chanting in ur head to hold in the tears ur almost home, just hold it in, just hold it in when all of a sudden u hear a familiar voice calling out to u
and he runs up to u and hes like hi! howre u doing?!
and u rlly try to hold it in bcuz taes so sweet and u think that he doesnt need to hear about ur problems but hes smiling so warmly at u and u cudnt hold in ur tears anymore
and taes shocked like hey wats wrong? and he hold onto ur shoulders and u cover ur face cuz fucking great just cry and make urself look like an ugly fat slob with snot everywhere and u feel this hate for urself and taehyung slowly pulls u into a hug and hes trying to soothe u saying its okay its okay
and he ends up bringing u home and u try to tell him ur fine and that he doesnt need to come with u but he refuses to leave u
and then u enter ur place and he sits on the couch with u and hes like im here to listen if u want
and taehyungs such a sweetie and even tho u havnt known him for long, hes become one of ur closest friends and so u spill and tell him wat happened at ur family bbq and u tell him that uk ur fat and unattractive to which he immediately stops u and is like stop no
and he tells u ur beautiful regardless of ur weight and he tells u that honestly he personally thinks its wonderful that u enjoy food and as a baker himself nothing makes him happier than seeing someone enjoy food (especially wen its his) and he tells u that theres someone out there for u becuz ur wonderful and amazing and any guy wud be lucky to hav u as a partner and then he pinches ur cheek and says besides uk how adorable u look? ur cheeks are so cute and he grabs both ur cheeks and pinches
and ur heart is so fond and warm and ur so grateful for having someone like tae in ur life and ur cheeks are red (both from wat tae said and his pinches lool) and u playfully grab his hands and try to pull them off whine at him to stop
and so i can imagine u guy contining to get closer and ur crush on him develops and tae continues to bake things always trying new things and feeding them to u first
and as time passes u like him more and more and the rest of the guys at the bakery smirk at u and tae cuz they know wats going on ;) and they try to convince tae behind the scenes to finally ask u out and tae gets red in the face and stutters and they do the same to u and u turn rlly red and ur like wat? tae wudnt like me tho, to which the other boys groan at cuz like woman how can u be blind to taes constant flirting?
and then he finally does ask u out at one point and ur so fucking happy and u think its a dream
and he helps u gain confidence always murmuring sweet things into ur ears and ughhhlsbfalusid its so cuteeewbuebwujd;
and so yea lmao god this turned out more as a mini scenario than a prompt lmao, well anyone can rewrite this!!! add their own twists to it or watever just remmeber to add credits if u do haha!
well i hope u enjoyed!! byeeee <3 <3
