"Oppa are you sure they will be able to do it? I think we should help them..." Eun Ae's voice showed concern even Jisoo hummed in response and supported her.

"Of course Eun Ae..! why should be only us doing the cooking thing? they should know that cooking is an art and it's not easy like eating" Jin comforted her but still somewhere she was uneasy. Eun Ae and Jisoo looked at each other and then towards the kitchen. Noise of glassware chinking, clashing of metal and water splashing sounds were heard from the kitchen followed by chortling which surely meant that they were enjoying it.

Jin sighed he knew that the result is zero when those three idiots are put together.

Flashback

"Are you serious Jin hyung? i mean we three?" Jungkook's eyes widen and it grew larger than the largest planet in the solar system.(Dafuq😂😂)

"Yes..." Jin said confidently.

"Hyung but you know that we suck at cooking" Jimin replied and the other two men agreed on that.

"It's fine you can search on internet and make something for us but make sure it is edible" Jin warned the trio who were sharing glances now.

"Hyung but we don't have groceries and you know it will take time to buy it so.. i mean-" Taehyung smiled sheepishly and he glimpsed at the other two, "... we can order the dinner...!" he completed on which the other two nodded their heads in agreement.

"Tsk tsk lame excuse..." Jin clicked his tongue and smiled, "... i have ordered the things online. It will be delivered anytime" he added proudly.

Their faces blanched seeing how well prepared the eldest hyung was. Namjoon snorted teasingly seeing them trapped.

"Jin hyung why is Namjoon hyung excused from joining us? I mean he should also be the one helping us!" Jungkook pouted and pointed at Namjoon like a small kid would do. Namjoon then gulped and tried looking away as he felt that he has dig his own grave by laughing at them.

"You don't want him to burn down your kitchen, don't you?" Jin asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Ani.. we three can manage...!" Jungkook gulped as he knew that Namjoon's culinary skills are the worst among them and that he is the avatar of lord of destruction himself.

"But we will be more happy to eat the food cooked by Jin hyung" Jimin cooed as he tried his last attempt to avoid the cooking thing. He let out the most killer smile thinking that Jin would melt due to his cuteness.

"Yes i am fan of hyung's cooking too" Jungkook too joined the 'Jin-hyung-praising-squad'.

"Me too...!! i am also fan of hyung's cooking" Taehyung showed his boxy smile.

"Everybody loves it and they are fan of my cooking. Name the person who isn't?" Jin tactfully blew the bangs which were resting on his forehead and then he looked at them proudly.

"Gordon Ramsey...!" Namjoon blurted out but soon regretted as Jin darted his eyes on him, it seemed that Jin would burst on him anytime. Namjoon bobbed his adam's apple and looked away avoiding the stare as he felt Jin's aura threatening.

The maknae line used this chance to let out their laughter.

"Make sure to serve us good meal or else i will make sure to replace that couch with cactus on which you are sitting right now" they gulped and then they never dared to look at the elder. Eun Ae and Jisoo on the other hand were tittering as the conversation between the men were too funny to handle.

Flashback ended.

"I have a doubt on them" Jisoo held her hand. Eun Ae was not able to comfort her with words so she just patted her shoulder and smiled.

Every year the boys would celebrate the new year just like the bachelors would do like drinking soju and enjoying the food made by their Jin hyung at Jungkook's condo but this time Jin hyung decided to turn the table and make them handle the kitchen stuff.

"Eun Ae is your oppa going to join us?" Jin asked Eun Ae.

"Well he said he will be coming before dinner as he is at his friend's house. What about unnie?"

"Okay that's great. Rhea is going to join us, i called her and she said she will be here before dinner" Jin answered back.

"Hyung i am worried about them. Can you hear they are laughing and enjoying it" Namjoon asked the elder as the laughing sound was constantly heard from the kitchen.

"Let them do it..."

"Should i go and help?"

Jin laughed holding his belly on Namjoon's words.

"Yah you are going to help? the one who doesn't even know where the sharp side of the knife is?" he burst into laughter after completing making Namjoon dazed at the sight.

Eun Ae wasn't able to hold herself back so she swiftly made her way as the two men were involved in the conversation.

"Yah yah where are you going?" she mentally slapped herself and turned to face Jin who called her.

"Errr.. nothing... i just wanted something to eat so... i mean.." she stuttered but Jin being the smart one knew what her real intentions were.

"Oh is that so? no need to go in the kitchen i have something for you guys" Jin said on which Eun Ae was out of words. She gave him a retarded smile and made her way back to her original position.

"Here..., i have brought burger buns and jams" he handed them a brown paper bag and a jam bottle.

"Umm... Jin oppa, jam and buns" Jisoo licked her lips as she saw the jam. Nowadays she was craving for strawberries and luckily the jam was strawberry flavoured one.

"Jams... i want jams..." they all flinched at the sight due to Jimin's sudden entry. They all shared glances and looked at Jimin whose eyes were now fixed nowhere but on the jam bottle.

"Ji...Jimin you scared us like shit..! where the hell you came from?" Jin placed his hands on his chest feeling his now pulsating heart.

"I teleport when i hear the word jam" Jimin licked his lips and looked at Jin but then within no time he snatched the bottle from Jin's hand.

"Yah yah... kid where are your manners? give it back..!" Jin snatched the bottle back and scolded him. Like a small kid he walked with drooping shoulders towards the kitchen.

"He is not only jamless but also scary" Namjoon spat on which Jin agreed. They both looked at his small frame which disappeared into the kitchen.

Dinner time

Everybody was eagerly waiting for the dinner to arrive. Hoseok and Rhea arrived just on time when the maknae line were about to serve the food which they made.

"Pal li... dinner is ready..!" Jimin shouted as he brought a serving plate which was covered with lid. He let out a cutest eye smile as the others turned their head to look at him.

"So are we ready to eat?" Jisoo caressed her stomach as she made her way towards the table. Her eyes never left the serving plate which was in his hands but covered.

Soon Jungkook brought his dish which was also covered. Taehyung followed him with an aqua blue salad bowl.

"Are you sure we are really ready for the dinner?" Namjoon asked as he took a brief look at the experiments kept on the table by the maknae line.

"Okay let's eat" Eun Ae said, her eyes on the dishes placed on the table as if she was mentally uncovering them to taste the delicacies. She walked towards the rectangular dining table and pulled a chair out to sit but was stopped by Jimin.

"Not there Eun Ae" Jimin said on which she looked at him confused.

"Why?"

"Sit here" he pulled the chair of the extreme short side of the table as if she was one of the important person invited for the dinner.

"Oppa actually it is better if Jin hyung and Hoseok oppa sits on the short ends because they are elder so..." she felt weird because she thought that the short ends are for the elder ones, the powerful side of the dining table they say.

"It's fine Eun Ae you can sit there" Hoseok said and took his seat near to Jin who was now sitting at the other short end which was infront of Eun Ae's seat.

"Okay" she walked towards the chair and sat. Jimin like a gentlemen assisted her while there was Jungkook who stood beside him dumbfounded but still acted cool as if he doesn't care but internally he was thinking that it should be him doing that for Eun Ae.

"Fine so what we have for dinner?" Namjoon rested his elbows on the table and leaned forward to sniff the dishes made by the maknaes.

"Eun Ae see what i have made, fish cakes" Jimin cheerfully lifted the lid of the serving plate only to reveal the well plated fishcakes served with tangy sauce and it was decorated with spring onions and tomatoes. Namjoon felt embarrassed as his question was completely ignored but then Jin patted his shoulder lightly, comforting him.

The others along with Eun Ae couldn't resist the aroma of tempting fish cakes.

"Wow oppa.. these are so yum yum" Eun Ae exclaimed, gulping her saliva. She was about to pick one but just then Jungkook quickly slid the plate aside making her pout.

"Yah why?" she asked looking at him. On the other hand Jimin was angry on Jungkook as he was expecting to get praised by her but the young one ruined everything.

"There aren't any fish in the fish cakes" he chuckled looking at Jimin, "... eat something real... see this, what i have made" he opened the lid of the ochre color plate to reveal the glazed sweet potatoes.

"See this, Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar" he said proudly and crossed his arms against his wide chest and looked at Jimin.

"It looks palatable Jungkook" Eun Ae gazed the dish with greedy eyes as she saw how beautiful and appetising his dish was. Her mouth watered as she focused on the potatoes which were properly coated and were shining.

"Yeah it is palatable and you need to consume those glazed sweet potatoes with the PALATE... i mean plate" Jimin scoffed and cachinnated within no time.

"What do you mean Jimin oppa?" she asked and she lazily trailed her eyeballs towards Jimin as she wasn't able to understand what he wanted to convey.

"That sweet potatoes have adhesive strength" Jimin controlled his laughter and picked the chopsticks which were placed besides her plate. He tried squeezing the sweet potato with the tip of the chopsticks but failed as the plate would lift up. Jimin covered his mouth with one hand and laughed.

"Hyung...!" Jungkook retorted as he was angry because it was the first time he had made something but his hyung was embarrassing him infront of Eun Ae, his heart sank in his stomach as soon as he saw the others and even Eun Ae laughing at him as they were enjoying Jimin's show. Jimin on the other hand controlled his laugh and used his free hand to hold the plate and finally he was successful in removing the piece of potato which was stuck to the plate.

"Finally...!" Jimin sighed, "Anneyong potato are you hurt?" he playfully asked the piece which he was holding in between the chopsticks and then burst into laughter.

"Jimin hyung you shouldn't insult me like that"

"Ani maknae you started first!"

"You started hyung...i made such a wonderful dish and you are insulting it"

"Yah maknae even i did the same and you started first..!"

"You!"

"You!"

"Shut up before i shove that chopstick in your not so pretty ass" Namjoon finally exploded on the two Busan men who were bickering on silly things.

"Tsk tsk... i really feel pity! this is how i raised you?" Jin rolled his eyes and then gave them a dirty look.

"Aishh... they were even fighting in the kitchen" Taehyung interrupted and received the death glare from the Busan hunks.

"Whoa wow did you see that hyung? weren't they fighting earlier? now they have united against me" Taehyung gulped and avoided their strong stare.

"Show us Taehyung! to what extend you have ruined the food" Jin anticipated for Taehyung's action as he said.

Taehyung showed his signature smile and drew a quick look at the others who were giving him an undivided attention.

"I have made fruit salad hyung" Taehyung spat and removed the lid of the salad bowl. The others looked at the bowl only to get disappointed at the sight.

"Aaa... you said it was fruit salad but... we are able to see only strawberries..." Namjoon looked at the bowl from all the angles but he was only able to see strawberries, "....did you perhaps buried the other fruits under this strawberry layer?" Namjoon continued as he tried moving some strawberries aside with his fork.

"No there are only strawberries" Taehyung chuckled.

"So why did you said fruit salad? you should have said strawberry salad!" Hoseok added, this was the only time he decided to speak. He even regretted coming for the dinner. Eun Ae on the other hand felt so stupid and worst. She mentally cursed the time when she decided to invite Hoseok just to get embarrass infront of him.

"Isn't strawberry a fruit hyung?" he smiled on which Jin and Namjoon facepalmed themselves.

"It's fine oppa...i am craving for strawberries now a days..." Jisoo patted Taehyung's shoulder and within no time she shoved ample amount in her mouth.

"Aishh... i shouldn't have came for the dinner on the first place. It's 10PM, we can't even cook now as it is too late" Rhea regretted and huffed leaning at the back rest of her chair.

"It's okay... we have cup noodles don't we?" Namjoon turned his head to face Jungkook on which he nodded.

"No need" Jin blurted.

The door bell rang on which Jin smiled and got up from his seat.

"I'll see" he said before heading towards the door. Jin returned few minutes later.

"Who was that hyung?" Namjoon asked Jin as soon as he walked towards the table. His eyes went towards the plastic bags which were in his hands, "Jin hyung what is that?" he pointed and asked.

"I know these idiots are good at nothing so i had pre-ordered the dinner at the first place" Jin gave a wining smile after showing the bags to others. Everyone was happy as they thought that this new year will not be ending in a worst way and they could actually get to eat edible things and not the experiments done by the maknae line.

"Jin hyung that's why i love you" Namjoon blurted out and earned a whistling from the boys.

Jin playfully slapped Namjoon and shushed the boys.

~~~

"Do we have ice-cream Eun Ae?" Jungkook asked her as now a days she is incharge of the kitchen and he knows that she loves ice-cream. Also their freezer is always packed with it.

"Yes we have it but there are various flavours. Let me bring it" she flashed a smile towards them and got up from her seat.
