My Candy Addicted Dentist || MEANIE ● WONMIN

Is he at the clinic already? Well, he did say he had an early appointment. Wish he'd at least woken me up and said he was leaving though. Kinda feels lonely to wake up on an empty bed. What's that sound? The door lock?

"You're finally up. Let's eat together. Give me a sec."

He was holding a bag that was filled with some groceries. I just woke up so my mind was still piecing things together from last night. Nevertheless, I'm happy that he's still here with me right now. Call me delusional, but doesn't this kinda looks like a newlywed type of scene?

The place was even bigger now that I've seen it in the morning light. The curtains we're all drawn back, exposing the huge panels of glass windows behind where his work desk was at. The sunlight beamed through the windows and lit up the white interior that made the place look even more massive.

I went to where he was heading and saw him cooking and brewing coffee in the kitchen. His hair was still unkempt and his clothes were rather wishy-washy, like he just threw on whatever he saw first in his closet. He still looks good though, don't get me wrong. Amidst everything he was already doing, he still managed to open a pack of gummy bears and eat them by a handful. That was probably the first time I saw him eat candy as Wonwoo.

"Gummy bears this early in the morning? Aren't you too careless of your own health?"

He finally realized I was right behind him, and quickly chewed faster on the gummies to swallow them down.

"Would you at least make sounds when you're walking behind someone? And it's already 11 am, I've had a piece of toast before this."

"11 am? Aren't you supposed to be at the clinic now?" I sat down on the kitchen island, facing him who was still preparing our meals.

"Seungkwan called and told me that the patient had to postpone our appointment for a later date. She was supposed to be my only patient for today."

"Does that mean you're free the whole day then?"

"Yeah. Here's your plate. It's just a simple eggs benedict." he handed me a plate that looked like it came out straight from a cookbook. It looked very appetizing. I never knew eggs could look this good.

"Never thought you'd be such a good cook." I took a bite and immediately went for another.

"It's not that grand. Stop exaggerating and jeez slow down you're gonna choke at that rate." although his words meant that he didn't appreciate the complement, his smile then told me a different story.

"How about we go on a date?"

"Sure."

"Huh? That easy? I thought you'd resist a bit more."

"Want me to take it back?" he wiped his mouth and took a sip of his coffee that looked too black to be considered a beverage. How the heck is he still standing with all that caffeine and sugar?

"I was kidding. Where do you want to go?" I'm glad he's giving me a chance. Whether he's doing this out of boredom or is sincerely taking my feelings into consideration, I'm just happy that he's spending some time with me.

"Just drag me anywhere I could care less."

"Come on, at least take some interest on our date will you? It'll be our first, it has to be memorable." I knew he had a sharp tongue, but his words this time seemed to have stung a little bit. I looked down on my eggs sad---maybe even sulky.

He took another sip of his black coffee as if trying to dampen his dry throat, then proceeded to cough and tap his finger on the table in front of me. I looked up to see him staring at me with a fond smile.

"As long as you're with me, I don't really mind where we go. That's what I meant, idiot." he quickly averted his eyes and continued eating his meal. I could tell he was feeling shy since his ears were a bit red. Me on the other hand...I forgot how to breathe for a moment. This personality gap that he has going on is really taking me on a roller coaster ride of emotions. My heart wasn't prepared for that at all.

I put down the fork and spoon that I was unconsciously gripping so tightly a moment ago and stood up from my chair. He looked up at me confused as to why I suddenly stopped eating and was rather pissed too I guess from the looks of his face. I walked to his side of the table and pushed his plate away from him and sat myself at the top of the table where his plate originally was. His frantic eyes darted everywhere and when they finally landed on me, I cupped his face with both of my hands and leaned in.

"You should really be more cautious of your actions Wonwoo. Just now I almost had a heart attack after hearing what you just said.'' The redness from his ears started to color the rest of his face as I caressed his cheeks with my thumbs.

"Ummm...could we perhaps not talk this close?" his hands were on top of mine, trying to pry my hands away from his face.

"And if I don't want to?" I slid one hand to the back of his neck and watched him ultimately freeze. His eyes were open wide and his face now red as a tomato.

"Please?" His voice suddenly sounded small. He only speaks gently to me in situations like these. Which honestly just tests the demon in me.

"Wonwoo." 

My hand finally let go of his neck and went for something else instead. His lips. At the slightest touch, he instantly trembled.

"Can I kiss you?"
