Philophobia

#5

"Wow, you really do hate men, don't you?" He asks abruptly.

His deep voice startled me. My empty pan falls to the ground as the impact, making a loud noise in the room. I then give him a dirty look. "Pardon?"

He walks to the display area, casually observing the bread. He then takes a piece of bread. "I thought it just a joke when you said all men are trash." He walks back to his chair, opens the plastic, and bite the bread.

I raise one of my eyebrow. "So?" I ask without batting an eye.

"Nothing. Just find it amusing."

I walk to the chair in front of him and pull it. I sit there facing him. "You have a problem with that?"

"No." Taehyung throws his last bite to his mouth and chews it quickly. He inches forward to your face. "Let me guess. Hm.. You got dumped, didn't you?"

I widen my eyes. "No, I didn't! I was the one who dumped him!" I put my hand on my mouth. What the hell are you doing telling strangers that?

He hums and folds his arms across his chest. "Okay, let me try again." He studies you for a bit. "Your boyfriend cheated on you with your friend?"

My jaw drops and you can feel a flush crept on your face. "How do you know?" I ask in a shock.

He smirks and shrugs confidently. "I am just that good you know." He chuckles. "Actually no, I just guessed it."

Just when I wanted to reply to him, the door opened harshly. And there you find your best friend rushing towards you. "Oh my God, Dahyun! I am sorry."

I observe her from the top to her feet, well, she seems fine. That's the important thing. I sigh. "Where have you been?"

"Jackson got sick so I took him to the hospital. I have been calling you for a hundred times, where is your phone?" Hani asks. I can see her face is bare, she didn't even draw her eyebrows.

"I left it at home. Is Jackson okay?"

Hani takes off his jacket and rolls her sleeves. "Yeah, just a little infection, he will be fine." She looks around the bakery. "I can't believe you open this yourself, I feel terrible."

I wave my hands. "It's okay. But I think we should hire a part-timer. It has been a hell for me."

She rubs her chin. "Yes, I think it is time for us to have a helper." Hani then looks to the side to find a man there. "I am sorry. Am I interrupting something?" She smiles.

Taehyung smiles back and laughs. "Not really. We just discussed about her hatred of men. I got free bread for guessing the reason right!"

"It's not free-"

I was interrupted by Hani's laughter. "It is ridiculous, right? I talked to her all the time that not all men are like that." Her voice then quieten. "I even told her to find a  Moo Moo rawr (sugar daddy) , you know. But actually, it's the reason why we use that name for our bakery."

Moo Moo. Taehyung then remembers what Jimin said to him yesterday. And an idea comes to his head.

I push Hani's back to the locker room. "Alright, alright. Just go change already." She follows your instruction as she waves to Taehyung.

Taehyung looks at his watch and then gathers his stuff and rises from his chair. He walks towards you and he holds out his hand to you. "I am Taehyung."

You take his hand after many considerations. "Dahyun."

Taehyung smiles. He then takes his wallet out from his pocket and pulls out a card. A black name card. "This is my number. If you are interested in the Moo Moo rawr whatever thing," he then forcefully puts the name card on your hand, "please give me a call." He winks and Taehyung walks away to the door, leaving you speechless on the spot.

I was stunned, seeing the card on your hand. After a few seconds, I realize. I ran outside to catch him. "Hey, you haven't paid!" but Taehyung has vanished in the crowded road.
