What
The
Actual
F*ck???
Why the hell is he even here???
Wait---he did mention he owns a candy shop-----don't tell.....HE MEANT THIS???
Hold up. Calm down for a second Wonwoo.
Then again he just said he owns it, he didn't say he takes care of the shop himself. Maybe he's just visiting to check inventory or something?
Dammit this is making me go crazy---Where is he even taking me??
"Wonwoo?"
"Huh? Sorry were you saying something?" I got to keep my shit together. He might have caught me coming in here now, but that doesn't mean he knows about my extreme shopping sprees here.
"I was asking if she doesn't mind nuts in her chocolates. We have a new item here that is blended with various nuts and fruits, how about this for your mom?"
Being alone with him in this dim lit room is somehow making me even more self-conscious. What if he hears my heart beating so loudly? Jeez why did it have to end up like this???
"Wonwoo? Are you alright? You seem rather pale. Do you feel dizzy?" he stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat that was beading on my forehead.
"I'm fine. Don't worry." I turned my attention to the piles of boxes that surrounded us and just started counting them to ease my nerves and maybe stop my last string of sanity from snapping.
"Maybe you should take this off for a moment." his hand motioned to the mask that was still on my face, now damp from sweat. With one of his fingers, he tugged it down to my chin and slowly removed it completely off my face.
"Doesn't that feel better?" the smile he was showing me was far from innocent. It just gave me goosebumps yet again.
"Yes, yes. Thank you so...I guess I'll be buying this for my mom then. Should we go out now?" I gestured at the door and started walking towards it. Just when I was about to grab the knob that was in front of me, I suddenly felt a strong grip on my arm. I turned towards him confused and a bit scared. He must have seen it on my face as he started to loosen his fingers and let out a sigh.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you like that. Did it hurt?" his face washed with worry.
"No it's fine. Is there anything you want to tell me?" I remained still while his hand was still holding my arm. I wasn't even sure at this point where this was heading anymore. A moment ago, I was scared that he might have known about the secret I tried so hard to hide. But after seeing his reaction now---why the heck is he even blushing? Is he having a heat stroke?
"Yes, in fact I do." he finally let go of my arm. He straightened his back and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Mind telling me why a dentist like you visits a candy shop 3 times a week?"
I just got caught.
"Hahaha don't get me wrong. I don't buy them for myself."
"Really? Vernon must've seen wrong then."
"Vernon?"
"The cashier."
Crap. He even has a witness.
"Plus I worked behind the register for 5 months now. I've seen you eat them at the store."
"You were the other male cashier? Why didn't you say anything?"
"I thought you were avoiding me or something. But after seeing your reaction now, I guess your eyesight was really to blame. You should've listened when I told you to get glasses."
"So the customer that you told me the other day was me?"
"Took you long enough to realize."
He knows. He's even seen me eat them. Why did I have to eat them here? Ah right, I just couldn't wait to stuff them in my mouth. Goodness, I need help.
"Fuck it. So what? Are you gonna use this to blackmail me?"
I could see an evil grin form across his face.
"hhhmmmm...having a candy addicted dentist would seem a bit shady. I guess I could use it for blackmail then, thanks for the idea."
"Bastard."
"Is this the real you Wonwoo? Your mouth seems to be a lot freer right now. You're cussing at me left and right."
"The fuck you expect me to say?"
"I dunno, I was thinking maybe if you'd asked a little more nicely I might be able to turn a blind eye and act like I never knew anything."
"Like I'd believe you'd do that."
"Well, you'll never know till you try right?"
I felt pissed. I started weighing out my options. So what if he tells others about this? Is having a candy obsessed dentist really a bad thing? Am I any less of a professional? Aren't my academic achievements and experience enough to back up my skills and credibility?
"Huh, go ahead then, I don't care. Screw my life if you're that bored. Let's see how that turns out."
"You're that confident that patients will still rely on you after hearing this? What about the clinic?"
He's really putting me in a tight spot here.
"Fine, what the heck do you want?"
Money? Nah he's already too rich for that. Perhaps he wants free dental services? That would be more likely and honestly a smarter bargain. Well whatever this bastard is gonna say next it ain't gonna be worse than me losing profit from giving him free prophylaxis clea------
"I like you."
Oh shit that's worse.
