Chef

By the time breakfast was served, the whole house was buzzing.

Jin’s mom was humming while flipping pancakes, and YN’s mom was setting out plates with a suspiciously cheerful grin. Jin and YN sat side by side at the table, trying — and failing — to ignore the subtle glances and knowing smiles exchanged by the two older women.

“Ah, look at them,” YN’s mom sighed dramatically, hands clasped. “Just like when they were little. Remember, Seokjin? You used to chase her around the school yard.”

Jin choked on his orange juice.

YN coughed into her sleeve.

BTS, who had slowly begun to gather around the table in their usual half-awake, half-chaotic fashion, perked up at the conversation.

“Wait, you two have history?” Jimin asked, grinning as he grabbed a spoon.

“We grew up here,” YN muttered.

“Exactly,” Jin’s mom declared, setting down a new plate of kimchi pancakes. “That’s why this tree walk is perfect.”

“Tree walk?” Namjoon asked suspiciously.

YN’s mom beamed. “We’re going to visit the Tree of Promises! You know, the one in the meadow up the hill? Three couples got married after confessing under that tree. It’s a local legend.”

Taehyung lit up. “Ooooh, matchmaking folklore. I’m in.”

Hoseok, already munching toast, winked. “I’ll bring confetti.”

YN dropped her forehead to the table. “Why are we like this?”

“Because fate needs help sometimes,” Jin’s mom said sweetly.

Later That Day – The Tree Plan in Motion

The sun was high, the spring wind fresh, and somehow — against all logic — the moms had managed to round up not only Jin and YN, but the entire BTS crew for the walk up to the tree.

Jin walked beside YN, his hands stuffed in his hoodie pocket, a little sheepish but clearly not protesting.

“This is ridiculous,” YN muttered, cheeks already flushed.

Jin leaned slightly toward her. “A little. But... I don’t hate it.”

She looked up at him, surprised. “You don’t?”

He gave her a half-smile. “Sharing a bed last night kind of exposed me.”

She laughed, playfully bumping his shoulder. “You snored.”

“You cuddled first.”

They both fell quiet as they reached the clearing.

There it stood — the legendary tree. Tall and full of white blossoms. The branches swayed gently in the breeze, sunlight filtering through like something out of a fairytale.

“Perfect for wedding photos!” Hoseok sang behind them.

“Hobi, shut up,” Jin grumbled.

But YN couldn’t stop smiling.

Evening Livestream Chaos

That night, after the “tree adventure,” the boys huddled in the living room for their mandatory livestream.

The moment they went live, Taehyung immediately said, “Guess who almost got married today?”

Jin tried to tackle him off-camera.

Jungkook was eating chips like it was a drama.

The comments exploded:
“WHO?!”
“TAE SPILL!”
“Is it Jin??”
“OMG YN???”
“WEDDING UNDER THE TREE?!”

Hoseok leaned into the camera and gave the fans a dazzling grin. “Let’s just say... spring brings new beginnings.”

“Shut. Up.” Jin said offscreen, trying to unplug the mic.

But nothing could stop the chaos now. Their fans were convinced. The “JinYN Tree Wedding” memes were already being born.
