Work Text:
it was really kai who usually sulked, as admittedly, taehyun is a bit more mature than him. he absolutely didn’t know a silly joke would turn into this.
“no thanks, hehe.” kai jokingly said to taehyun and ended the call.
it was honestly just a silly little haha joke. of course he would try taehyun’s bingsu, he’ll try and eat everything that taehyun makes.
taehyun called again, but this time to soobin. as soobin and kai were together, kai was the one who answered the call.
kai said the same thing again, “yeaah, no thanks!”
“not you. i won’t give you anything.” taehyun said and ended the call.
yeonjun was giggling with their interaction, it’s fun to see taehyun and kai bicker, as it rarely happens.
“soobin hyung, don’t bring kai along. i won’t give him anything but a punch.” taehyun said over the call.
taehyun was upset. he didn’t know what warranted this reaction from his boyfriend. this was the first time in their relationship he acted this way.
as soon as soobin and kai arrived, it was time for taehyun to express his feelings.
he pointed to kai, and said, “you. get out. why are you here?”
“soobinie hyung, here’s your bingsu that i made for you.” taehyun said with a smile, being extra endearing.
“other guy, get out. you won’t get anything.” taehyun said it pertained to kai.
“why? what about mine?” kai said, not expecting this cold reaction from his boyfriend.
“yeah, no thanks.” taehyun said, imitating what kai said earlier.
and that was when kai knew, he fucked up. taehyun was sulking for real, and he was not joking.
the live went on, but soobin immediately realized that taehyun’s sulking and their bickering was real, and not a joke. so he wanted to end the live show as soon as possible, as he knew the maknaes would need to talk about this later.
during the live, taehyun continued to make sulky remarks, and kai was adding fuel to the fire. which confused soobin, as why was he pushing his boyfriend’s buttons? did he have a death wish?
the live was going to end as soobin excused that he needed to work out, which was true, but his real intentions were to let kai and taehyun solve this immediately. it was rare for taehyun to sulk, usually it was the other way around.
“taehyun, come when you’re done.” soobin said.
“and taehyun! if you need me, don’t come looking for me!” kai said. soobin just looked at him, did he absolutely have a death wish?
“bye soobin hyung!” taehyun just ignored what kai said.
kai, not getting used to being ignored by his boyfriend, added more fuel, “don’t come! your bingsu was a 0 out of 10!”
“i’m going to deal with you now!” taehyun joked and stood up to jokingly punch kai, but what really happened is that he glared at him before going back to the camera.
a little while passed, and the live show was done. taehyun immediately hurried back to their dorm, despite saying in the live show that he was going to work out.
meanwhile, kai was at the dorm chatting with beomgyu on the coach.
“you’re in deep trouble.” beomgyu said.
“i didn’t know he was going to react like that, okay?!” kai tried to defend.
suddenly, they heard the door open, and taehyun walked in looking sulky.
“alright love birds, i’ll be in my room.” beomgyu said and escaped the living room.
“you won’t try my bingsu? you don’t love me anymore, is that it?” taehyun wasted absolutely no time getting to the point.
“look, i didn’t know you would react like this…”
“of course i’m going to be upset! did i do something for you to reply like that? i made that bingsu especially for you.”
“i’m sorry, taehyun. i was honestly just kidding. you know i would eat everything you make.”
“no no. you didn’t eat my bingsu.”
kai immediately went to wrap taehyun in a hug, “i’ll eat all the bingsu that you make from now on. i’m sorry, it’s my fault. i shouldn’t have done that.”
“you better!” taehyun sulked further but hugged kai back.
“i’m sorry, really. let me make it up to you? i’ll make you a banana split.”
“no, i want more.”
“hmm? what is it?”
“you’ll go out tomorrow and buy bingsu ingredients, and you’ll eat everything that i make.”
“okay okay. i’ll do that, i’ll eat hundreds of bingsu if you want me to.”
“you’re cute when you sulk.” kai added and kissed taehyun on his forehead.
“nice try, no cuddles tonight. sleep on the couch.”
“you know what? i deserve that.”
