"Stop buying useless ." Hae whined, eyeing their cart full of ramen packets and soda cans. 

Hyukjae rolled his eyes. "No matter how healthy you try and be, Lee Donghae we both can't cook for ." 

Not able to deny that fact, Hae just shuffled forward with the cart. "Maybe if we buy the right ingredients, with the help of YouTube, we can make something nutricious." 

Hyuk snorted. "Whatever you say." 

And so they turned, to the veggie aisle. Hae picked up a large cabbage, making a face. 

"You're going to make kimchi?" Hyuk asked, the disbelief in his voice clearer than the waters of Jeju. 

Hae's voice cracked as he replied, "y-yes." 

Hyukjae couldn't hide the slight beam on his face when Hae emerged from the bathroom wearing a cute pink apron. He'd tied his fringe back into a spiky ponytail, making him look ages younger. 

"What?" Hae asked, catching the stare from his husband. 

"You're too cute, Hae-ah." Hyuk simply cried, tangling his hands in his hair and tugging. Hae gawked as the teenager threw a silent fit, kicked the trash can twice and stormed off into the kitchen. 

Hae just stood there, his cheeks slightly blushing. Not a moment later, a scream rang from the kitchen, making him scowl once again. 

"Let's go fatass! I'm hungry!" 

Sweat dripped from Hae's forehead. Hyukjae's hands were almost giving out. The kitchen looked like havoc had come and gone. 

All for three servings of kimchi. 

The cabbage particles lay around everywhere, from the counters to the floors to the sink. 

"I can't do it anymore, Hae." Hyuk spoke, morbidness in his tone. 

Hae wiped off the sweat from his forehead, sighing a deathly sigh. "Neither can I, Hyuk." 

"We tried our best." 

"Our best wasn't enough." 

"Our efforts went to waste." 

"We're failures." 

Hyuk and Hae faked devastation for approximately 3.5 seconds. And then, they burst into a hysteria of laughter. 

"I never believed in us." Hyuk wheezed, tears forming at the corners of his eyes. 

Hae clutched his stomach, panting as he laughed. "Our cooking skills were doomed from the beginning!" 

Hyuk collected himself first, smiling in awe as he watched Hae crack up. Soon, calmed down, caught the intent stare and blushed pink. 

"Oi, stop looking at me like that." 

"You're beautiful." 

Hae blinked, feeling frozen. Bubbles erupted in his tummy, his pink cheeks transitioning to red. 

Hyuk laughed again, rising and picking up a piece of peppered cabbage. It looked limp and gross. "Too bad you're a fat bum!" He cried, chucking the piece at Hae's face. 

SPLAT. The piece stuck to Hae's forehead. 

It took Hae three seconds. Three seconds to register, feel the yucky texture, and fling up in rage. 

"THIS IS WAR HYUKJERK!" 

"BRING IT ON DONGHOBO!" 

And just like that, the two idiots managed to make a dump out of the already garbaged kitchen. They had a blast doing so, must I mention. 

"I can't believe I, the son of Lee Corp., is eating in such a shabby place." 

"I too, cannot believe I, the son-in-law of Lee Corp., is eating here with such a shabby person." 

Hyuk glared playfully, chopstick sneaking out to steal Hae's radish kimchi - and succeeding. Hae whined in anger as he eyed the younger chomp down on the last piece. 

"Theif!" He cried, loud enough for the people around them to turn and stare. 

Hyuk's cheeks, for the first time, painted pink. He bowed to the people around them in a frenzy, shaking his head to calm their displeasure. Donghae burst into silent laughter. 

"You're a brat." 

"Am not! You're the brat." 

"I'm the younger one yet you're the one who can't cook, clean, or be polite!" 

"I'm not a damn woman to cook and clean!" 

"You are my woman!" 

"I'm your man!" 

"So you agree that you are mine?" 

Hae paused, registering what he'd just said. He blushed. 

Hyukjae snickered. "Assa. So you do love me?" 

Hae's blush deepened. "No! Never! Not in a million years! Over my dead body!" 

Digging into his bibimbap, Hyuk ignored the elder now, simply happily humming and grinning. 

The car ride consisted of Donghae singing along to 80's music - obnoxiously, may one add - and irritating Hyukjae. Okay, not really irritating because Hyuk honestly found everything about Donghae cute. Still, he feigned annoyance just because. 

"You are on my last nerve, Lee." 

"I can't hear you over my vocals, Lee2!" 

"Shut up already." Hyuk roared. 

Hae shrugged, batting his eyelashes suggestively. "Make me." 

And Hyuk, being the reckless teenager he is, did. Making a highly illegal turn into the white lane, he halted without warning. Hae gasped aloud, eyes widening to saucers. 

"Hyuk-" Hae cried out, clutching his chest. Only, he didn't get the chance to finish before Hyuk pinned his wrists down onto the seat and slammed his own lips against the elder's, taking away his breath and also his ability to continue that horrid singing. 

Moments later, Hyuk pulled away, wiping his mouth on the back of his hand and restarting the engine. 

"Made you shut up." Hyuk slyly quirked, beginning the ride home. 

The rest of the ride, Hae remained stunned, blushing, and most of all, silent.
