The evening rush was slowly winding down, but the kitchen hummed with its usual rhythm. The faint crackle of oil, the hiss of fresh vegetables meeting the sizzling heat, and the soft clatter of plates filled the air. The smell—garlic, rosemary, and something richer that you couldn't quite place—wrapped around you like a warm blanket. Mingyu's kitchen had its own energy, its own language, a chaotic comfort that you had come to love.

You hadn’t planned on staying long—just wanted to surprise him, maybe share a quiet dinner together. You were no stranger to the hours he worked, so you knew he'd still be at the restaurant long after most had already called it a night. You lingered outside, listening to the sounds of the kitchen, the laughter and chatter of the staff mixing with the low thrum of pots and pans.

The door to the kitchen was slightly ajar, and you hesitated for just a moment before quietly stepping closer, drawn by the warmth and the sound of Mingyu’s familiar voice. You had every intention of just slipping in unnoticed—an unexpected visitor who’d make his night a little brighter.

As you approached, the voices inside grew clearer, and you halted when you heard Mingyu’s low voice.

“I don’t know how she does it, man,” Mingyu’s voice rumbled from inside, smooth and casual. But there was something softer underneath, something vulnerable in the way he spoke. “Like, no matter how tired I am or how crazy the day’s been… when she walks in, it’s like everything just... calms down. I don’t even need to say anything, she just knows. It’s kind of crazy.”

You paused, suddenly unsure whether to reveal yourself. But Mingyu’s voice was too soothing, too filled with affection to ignore. You couldn’t help but lean in closer, silently listening as he continued.

“I swear, she’s my grounding force, you know?” His tone shifted, a warmth lacing the words as though he was letting something private slip out without realizing it. “She makes everything feel... lighter. More worth it.”

You couldn’t help the smile that crept onto your face, heart warming at his words. You didn’t notice the slight creak of the door beneath your hand, and before you knew it, you had stepped fully into the room, revealing yourself to Mingyu.

His words cut off abruptly, and his eyes snapped to you, wide with surprise. The sudden shift in his demeanor was so evident you could almost feel it in the air. The cool, collected chef you knew now stood frozen, caught between a moment of revelation and his usual confident self.

“Oh—” His voice jumped up an octave as he quickly straightened, one hand instinctively reaching up to adjust the towel slung over his shoulder. His eyes flickered between you and the kitchen counter, a flush creeping over his cheeks. “You weren’t supposed to hear that.” His attempt at nonchalance was laughable; his voice was suddenly louder, a little too sharp. You couldn’t miss the slight nervousness in the way he stood.

You raised an eyebrow, crossing your arms with a playful tilt of your head. “And why’s that?”

Mingyu swallowed, clearly flustered, but the sly smile tugging at the corners of his lips betrayed his embarrassment. He scratched the back of his neck, trying to feign casualness, though his stance was all too stiff. “Uh, well... you know... it’s, uh, kinda embarrassing to talk about you like that... behind your back.”

You pushed yourself off the wall and took a step closer, a teasing grin forming on your lips. His warmth enveloped you as you moved, the familiar scent of his apron and the kitchen’s spices lingering in the air. You couldn’t stop yourself from leaning in just a little. “Mushy, huh? I think you’re just too scared to admit you’re soft.”

Mingyu blinked at you in mock disbelief, though the humor was evident in his eyes. “Soft?” He let out a breathless laugh, shaking his head. “If anything, I’m just... real about how I feel.”

You raised a challenging eyebrow, a playful glint in your eyes. “Oh, so you feel like you need to ‘ground’ me now?” you teased, leaning against the counter next to him, nudging your shoulder against his lightly. “Making me your ‘everything’s worth it’?”

For a moment, Mingyu’s expression softened, and you caught the slightest shift in his eyes, a vulnerability there that he rarely let anyone see. But before you could say anything more, he closed the space between you, his hand reaching up to gently cup your cheek. His lips found yours in a kiss—warm, slow, and full of everything unspoken. You melted into it, a rush of affection flooding you.

When he finally pulled back, his hand still resting on your cheek, he grinned, a faint blush coloring his face. “Yeah. But I’m not apologizing for it.” His voice was playful, but his eyes were sincere. Then, with a wink, he turned toward the stove, reaching for a pan. “Now, how about you stay for dinner? I’ll make you my specialty.”

You smirked, crossing your arms as you leaned a little closer to him, feeling the heat of his body as he moved. “Is that how you win me over? With food?”

Mingyu grinned, shrugging nonchalantly as he started to prepare your meal. “Among other things,” he said, winking at you as he added a little more heat to the pan. “But mostly food.”

the way the cookie crumbles

pairing: mingyu x reader | wc: 0.9k genre: humor, fluff, established relationship rating: e for everyone! warnings: none! a/n: for the lovely wonderful @gyubakeries, to whom i promised a baking fic with mingyu <3 love u tiya // set in the same universe as love: best served hot and seasoned with love (shameless plug you should go read that too if u love chef mingoo)

The smell of burnt sugar lingers in the air as you fan the smoke detector with a dishtowel, panic laced in every movement. You were sure you’d followed the recipe to a T, but now, the tray of charcoal discs sitting on the counter is telling a very different story.

Your plan had been simple: make cookies for Mingyu as a surprise. Something sweet for someone who spent his days making sure others ate well, including you. But now, the kitchen looks like a battlefield, and you’re starting to think this was a bad idea.

The sound of the front door unlocking pulls you from your thoughts. You freeze, dishtowel in hand, and turn to see Mingyu stepping inside. He’s still in his chef’s jacket, a little tired but undeniably handsome. When he spots you standing sheepishly in the smoky kitchen, his eyebrows raise in surprise.

“What’s going on in here?” he asks, a teasing lilt in his voice as he sets his bag down. He sniffs the air and winces playfully. “Were you… trying to summon me with burnt offerings?”

“Ha, ha,” you mutter, crossing your arms over your chest. “I was trying to make cookies for you, okay? But clearly, baking is not my thing.”

Mingyu’s lips twitch as he tries to hold back a laugh, but it’s no use. He bursts out laughing, his deep voice filling the room as he doubles over slightly. “You were making cookies? For me?” he manages between chuckles. “This is… adorable.”

You pout, throwing the dishtowel at him. “Stop laughing! I was trying to be nice.”

He catches the towel mid-air, grinning from ear to ear. “Sorry, sorry. It’s sweet, really. But you can’t expect me not to laugh when you’ve…” He gestures toward the tray of burnt cookies. “Did you bake these on purpose as a prank?”

“No!” you protest. “I’m just bad at this.”

Still smiling, Mingyu crosses the room in a few strides, closing the distance between you. His arms wrap around you, strong and steady, pulling you into his chest. His scent—an intoxicating blend of citrusy soap and the faint smoky aroma of a restaurant kitchen—envelops you. “I’m not mad,” he murmurs softly, pressing a kiss to your forehead. Then another to your temple. And one more, playfully, to the tip of your nose. “In fact, I think it’s really cute. You wanted to do something for me after my long day.”

You huff, your resolve to stay annoyed crumbling under the weight of his affection. “It doesn’t feel cute. It feels embarrassing.”

Mingyu pulls back just enough to meet your eyes, his own warm and twinkling with mischief. “Embarrassing? You? Never.” He peppers exaggerated kisses across your face until laughter bubbles up from your chest. “See? That’s better.”

“Stop it, Mingyu!” you giggle, swatting at his chest. “You’re ridiculous!”

“But you’re smiling now,” he says, his grin triumphant. “And you know what? We’re not giving up on cookies. Let’s make a new batch together.”

“Together?” you ask, raising an eyebrow. “You’re not too tired?”

“Never too tired for you,” he replies, flashing you a grin that makes your heart skip a beat. “Plus, I’m a professional. We’ll have cookies in no time.”

He pulls off his chef’s jacket and rolls up his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms. “Okay, where’s the flour?”

You hand him the bag, and he sets it on the counter. Before you know it, he’s standing behind you, his large hands gently guiding yours as you measure out the ingredients. “Level it off, like this,” he says, his breath warm against your ear. “Perfect.”

Your heart warms at the feeling of his chest against your back, but you focus on following his instructions. When it’s time to mix the dough, he stays behind you, his hands covering yours on the wooden spoon. The strength of his arms envelops you, and you can’t help but feel a little giddy.

“See? You’re doing great,” Mingyu says, his voice low and encouraging. “No more burnt offerings.”

“You’re never letting me live that down, are you?” you ask, tilting your head back to look at him.

“Not a chance,” he replies with a playful smirk before leaning down to kiss the tip of your nose.

When the dough is ready, you both work together to scoop it onto the baking tray. Mingyu’s arms find their way around your waist as you place each dollop of dough, his chin resting on your shoulder.

“You’re just hovering so you can steal a bite,” you tease, nudging him with your elbow.

“Caught me,” he admits, snagging a bit of dough from the bowl and popping it into his mouth. “Quality control.”

You roll your eyes but can’t hide your smile. Once the tray is full, you place it in the oven and set the timer. Mingyu pulls you into his arms again, swaying you gently in the middle of the kitchen.

“Thank you,” he says softly, his voice sincere. “For wanting to do something nice for me. Even if it didn’t go perfectly, it means a lot.”

You rest your head against his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. “You always do so much for me. I just wanted to return the favor.”

He presses a kiss to the top of your head. “You’re enough just as you are. But baking cookies together? That’s a bonus.”

When the timer goes off, the two of you pull the tray from the oven to reveal golden-brown cookies, perfectly baked. Mingyu grins and holds up one of them. “See? Teamwork makes the dream work.”

You take a bite of the cookie he offers, the warm, gooey sweetness melting on your tongue. “Okay, fine. You win. These are amazing.”

Mingyu’s smile is smug but loving. “Told you. Now, let’s clean up before we burn the next batch.”

[blackwolfstabs]

any communities ur apart of besides writing??

actually yes, but i'm going to start off by saying this first: some of these communities i had no idea i was associated/affiliated with until this year. i've come to find that there are just things that we as people are tied to because of the way we grew up or the way our brains are wired. i feel the need to back myself up, because the truth of the matter is that i'm scared to "come out" and admit to some of these, but you're asking, i'm answering.

my dad once told me that the first step in coming to terms with yourself about something isn't to hide it, but to admit it to yourself and others.

another wise scriptwriter wrote for Glen Powell to say as Tyler Owens: "you don't face your fears, you ride them."

so fuck it, here it goes:

k-pop community // this one is a bit dated, but yes, this community gave me both dark times and help out of them. i know that sounds weird but it is what it is. BTS is what i primarily listen to, but i love so many songs from the k-pop genre. and as a dancer, i love watching the choreographed dances and learning them myself. any time i hear music with a good beat, i get some pep in my step haha. i'm also head-over-heels for Park Jimin - goddamn, that man and i have so much in common

furry community // i really hesitate on this one, because people that are a part of this community get such a bad rep. i am NOT one of those people who are zoophilic (or support it) or the sexual/weird/creepy kind of people that the word "furry/furries" are often associated with. i'm just like anyone else that isn't a part of the community, i'm casual and chill about it. i didn't realize i was really a part of this community until this year, thanks to @whitewolfstabs , i always just shrugged it off as "i've always loved animals so yeah." however fursuits have always fascinated me and the amount of time i think about animals - the way the move, express themselves, etc. is pretty excessive. as a kid, i used to act like an animal and i always thought it would be cool to be one. go figure, because many of the stories i write have characters who are werewolf/animal-shifters. now, i'm am NOT in no way saying any character i write about is a furry, nor is anyone else who takes an interest in animals or animal-shifting characters is a furry. matter of fact, i really don't like using the term "furry" because of the bad rep it's got attached to it

bluey community // i had no idea what the big hype over this show was for the longest time. i thought it was just another kid show, but then i saw a lot of people doing fanart, talking about it, etc. and i was curious to know what this little blue dog and her family was about. of course, i'm not disciplined enough to sit down and take the time to try it but you know who did? nylah! yep, she started watching it, told me about it, i watched an episode, and i was like holy shit, this is so cute and wholesome. kinda gets me back in touch with my inner kid and away from the pain of adulting

sfw tkl community // i'm so fucking shy about this one but hear me out. it's not a kink or a guilty pleasure. i've had poor experiences with tickling/being tickled in the past that it's made me very afraid of/anxious about it as i got older and even now. i wasn't exactly exposed to it in the best/natural way like most people typically are. the concept has always hit me differently, always made my head turn, and it has always made me anxious. i get insecure, i flinch at small touches, and it's made me physically distant with a lot. i've always known that it wasn't "normal" for me to think about it that way, but i don't know how to change it. @whitewolfstabs shared/shares the same anxieties/shyness about it and has a friend on here that's a part of the sfw tkl community. she talked to her and her friend (whom i won't mention for privacy concerns, idk how she'd feel about it), told her to give it a shot - to explore and just be real about it. and then she showed me. i can't say i "enjoy it" because i'm a spazz, however, i have written about it as a means of trying to normalize it so it won't be such an "issue" for me anymore. my therapist even told me that normalizing/exposing myself to things that make me anxious is going to help me manage it and realize that i can feel certain things, overcome them, and nothing bad happened to me. it's complicated, really, but i hope whoever sees this doesn't see me as someone weird and they don't want to be my friend anymore or they just think different/poorly of me in general. i've come to understand that we can't control what makes us tick, what makes our heads turn, what we think about, or what we grow to fear - 95% of the time, they're because of an external stimulus that had set a standard and we often spend our lives trying to get past that. i'm rambling i know, but i'm very scared to share about this..

gaming community // compared to the wide range of gamers out there, i totally suck at video games, but i really enjoy playing them! i'm actually very competitive and can be a sore loser, which makes my drive to play until i win high haha. i don't play many games, more like a select few that i play over and over, including Animal Crossing New Leaf & New Horizons, Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo DS), Mario Kart, and Super Mario Sunshine. I'll throw down with those dumbass wii sports games too lmfao

well there you go, found out more than you wanted to and i know i had the choice to not share certain things about me, but like i said... i don't want to be scared anymore. i'm working through a lot of my issues and talking about them is the first step. take it or leave it but to anyone out there who feels like they have to hide for fear of judgment or rejection, i'm with you.

p.s. it's clear to see that all of these (with the exception of the gaming community) are courtesy of @whitewolfstabs - she walked so i could run, and i'm so fucking grateful for that. tysm, my love, for showing me that being weird and different isn't something to be shameful of. it's a display of beauty and courage. stay true 🩶

thank you for asking!

Heartstopper and K-Pop

Nick - He's only listened to Gangnam Style and even then it hasn't quite clicked that it is, in fact, a K-Pop song.

Charlie - He has a bad opinion of the industry due to rampant homophobia and ableism, but he's also kind of bitter that he supported Holland for nothing.

Tao - He tries to analyse MVs for lore to no avail and has spent nights staying up until 3am just over colour comparisons. He doesn't even keep up with any group's members, and will be shocked to find out years later that they have long since disbanded.

Elle - Occasionally YouTube will recommend her a really good K-Pop song and she'll think "Wow, I should check out this artist!" but she never will. Valid.

Tara - She used to be a TWICE stan but they kept pulling shit so she hasn't listened to anything new since 2022. She does keep up with fashion trends though.

Darcy - They keep recommending K-Pop songs under the guise that they're lesbian songs but when you actually listen to it, it's just Really Bad Boy and not Shutdown or Oh My God or even TTYL.

Imogen - She basically only listens to the audios that go viral on TikTok (Russian Roulette, Super Shy, Touch, etc). She's more of a K-Drama person.

Sahar - She has a playlist which includes K-Pop songs which she likes but would feel embarrassed for anyone to know she likes. She's also done a few English covers with her band.

Isaac - I genuinely think that Isaac does not listen to music unless someone else puts it on; he doesn't hate music but he's uncommonly apathetic outside of special occasions (birthdays, New Year, Christmas carols, etc.) Very uncommon type of dude.

I feel like all kpop stans have now gone on a pipeline to watching Jake and Johnnie as bts are in the army
