Chapter Text
'So you're saying that you're from a different world and in that one I'm the leader of TXT? ' Soobin doesn't believe him.
' Yes. You want proof? You like bread, more than anything, even Yeonjun.' Taehyun relishes the panicked look on Soobin's face. To think the other him would chose bread over the fourth gen it boy Choi Yeonjun.
'Second, you have really stretchy skin?'
'Third. Almond milk. Nuff said.' Taehyun lists the three things that make Soobin Soobin. Soobin nods, and they hit it off easily.
At some point, Soobin brings out some leftover pastries for them to snack on. They're sharing stories when Taehyun gets a call. It's Huening Kai.
' Hyung? Where are you, manager-nim found out that you're not in the dorm, me and the hyungs are coming to get you before the police comes for you!'
oh no.
Taehyun quickly sends the address, along with a 'be careful don't crash the car' for Yeonjun.
Soobin leans over to read the message.
' Yeonjun-ssi can drive?'
' No. I'm just hoping that they make it here alive.'
' Ah... '
'This is why we need you, you're the only one with a braincell other than me.'
A few minutes later, a van swerves into the parking lot near the bakery, and Beomgyu stumbles out, and falls into Soobin's arms.
' Are you alright?' Soobin asks, concerned, both hands moving to support him.
'Never gonna let Hyung drive again.' he forces out. Kai is next to get out of the car, and he goes to hug Taehyun, proclaiming that cars and Yeonjun should never go hand in hand.
' Hey! Didn't you work at that bakery near BigHit?' Kai turns his head to Soobin.Apparently, Kai recognizes him. Taehyun gapes- it would save so much work if he'd asked Kai.
'Yes, then I quit to open this one,' Soobin answers, waving his hand to his bakery.
'Let's go in first. Before anyone spots us.' Leader Yeonjun beckons and they follow him.

The five of them sit, facing each other, but not saying anything.
' I'll go get something for you guys?' Soobin nearly trips over Beomgyu in order to escape the awkward situation.
After he leaves the other members turn to Taehyun.
' Who is he?' Yeonjun isn't really angry, just curious. He can't seem to recall seeing this Soobin person. But at the same time, he finds him familiar.
'Look-'
' I'm back!' Soobin holds two trays in his hand, setting them down. The trays are covered in all sorts of pastries, and Huening reaches out to take an egg tart while Beomgyu chooses a croissant.
' Thank you Soobinie-hyung!' the two of them chorus, since they've already grown fondly of the giant bunny. Soobin freezes.
Of course he'd remember our nickname-
'Gyu? Ning Ning? Jun? I... I remember now.' He takes a step back, to survey his members. Taehyun looks into Soobin's eyes, who blinks twice and gasps.
' I remember now,' Soobin smiles, and hugs Taehyun.
'Thank you.' he whispers in Tae's ear.
