She knows exactly who he is. He knows she’s lying. Let the tasting begin.
pairing: Yoongi x female reader
glimpse: By day, you navigate a high-stress corporate career, but your nights belong to the kitchen of your Seoul café. You're deep in the weeds prepping for a fantasy-themed dessert exhibition when you finally snap at the quiet regular who always stays past closing: “If you’re going to stay here every night, you might as well make yourself useful.” You realize too late that you've just demanded your ultimate bias, Min Yoongi, become your personal taste tester. Panicked and desperate, you commit to the ultimate lie: pretending you have no idea who he is. Yoongi sees through your act instantly, finding it hilarious as he dishes out honest critiques while watching you struggle to keep your cool.

A/N: I am SO excited for this one! 🍰✨ This entire concept actually hit me out of nowhere while I was face-deep in some homemade cheesecake and vibing to Yoongi’s love song playlist. Sugar by Maroon 5 started playing and—boom—the idea of a stressed-out professional leading a double life as a café owner just clicked! The title, Midnight Sugar, actually came to me a bit later as everything started coming together, but the vibes were there from the very first bite. I hope you guys love this story as much as I loved the sugar rush that inspired it! 🎧🔥
COMING SOON!
