Café Coeurs Brisés || kth ON HOLD

1. Too Latte

You look over at the clock. 10:36 AM. Damn, it's going to be a long ass day.

      "2 hot mocha lattes with a heart design with almond milk and a pump of chocolate syrup for table 3!!! I need this order now, Taehyung you do this one!" Jin yelled at us while he was reading orders coming in like crazy. After we tried a new idea where we do cute designs on coffee, we became so popular.

     "Namjoon, are you ready for the blueberry muffin for table 5?" You yell across the kitchen as you grab the iced tea and walked toward Namjoon.

    "Yeah, Y/n here you go." He gave you the hot muffin and you put the tray down on the counter. You focused on his eyes. He noticed you staring at his face, and he looked back at you.

   "Sooooooo?" You smirked as you quietly asked the already blushing friend/coworker. He looked down at his feet and tried to hide his face.

   "I couldn't ask him out." The grayish brown haired boy rubbed his neck and bit his lip.

   "C'mon Namjoon!! I know he's our manager but at least try to shoot your shot!" You yelled, throwing your hands slightly up in the air.

   "But I-"

   "TAEHYUNG WHERE THE HELL IS MY 2 MOCHA LATTES WITH A HEART DESIGN WITH ALMOND MILK AND A PUMP OF CHOCOLATE SYRUP FOR TABLE THREE??" Jin screamed at the kitchen with his veins popping out of his neck. Namjoon and you both look at each other with an annoyed look.

   "Are you serious? Again?! We have to cover his late ass! Namjoon, I swear to god one day I'm going to gET MY HANDS ON HIS THROA-"

   "I KNOW ME TOO BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO MAKE  TWO MOCHA LATTES WITH A HEART DESIGN WITH ALMOND MILK AND A PUMP OF CHOCOLATE SYRUP IN UNDER FIVE MINUTES SO LET'S GO!!" Namjoon screamed back at you as you both rushed through the fridge for the ingredients. The second you start to make the coffee, Jin grabbed your wrist and pulled you out of the kitchen. He turned back to you and screamed through his teeth,

"WHERE THE HELL HIS YOUR BROWN HAIRED BIMBO OF A BEST FRIEND!" His eyes were so close on popping out of his head. You rolled your eyes and sighed.

  "How the hell do I know Jin! He might be ran over a bus for all I know!" You hissed back at him. You were equally as frustrated as he was, and you hoped he came quicker.

"Well, tell him that if he doesn't get his ass over here soon he's getting demoted to floor cleaner." He gritted his teeth with stress and walk away over to Namjoon. The second he stepped away, you let out a huge sigh. This isn't the first time Tae's been late, and it certainly won't be the last. You call his number multiple times but it's just his stupid prank voicemail where he pretends he's there but he's not. Asshole.

12:39 PM. 2 hours and three minutes. We've waited for 2 hours and three mother fucking minutes for Taehyung to be here. It was voicemail after voicemail, and you were FUMING.
"I'm busy, so leave it to the beep!"

"Hey Tae, I need you get over here soon becaus-"

"You called for me?" His morning voice was deeper than usual and it sounded like wood crackling in a fire. His sighs hit your neck gently and made it hot. His lips were touching your ear, and his arms were around your shoulders, back hugging you. His bangs covered his eyes and he had a baggy hoodie on with some yellow plaid pj pants. You were so paranoid that you didn't even notice him for a second. You quickly realize he's finally at work, and you push him away from you. You furrowed your eyebrows and made a tight fist with your hands. You. Were. PISSED.

"Where the hell were you and why weren't you answering my calls?" You said calmly and clearly, as your eyes darkened. Taehyung looked back at you with caution. He knew how scary you are when you're mad. You stay quiet, intimidating, strict and aggressive.

"Uh I-"

"Why aren't you in your work uniform? Do you think this is a joke, Kim Taehyung?" You crossed your arms. You slowly walked towards him, and he walked backwards as well. You cornered him to a table. He looked back, and saw he couldn't go any further.

"I um... I was in a pc room last night and I couldn't get a lot of sleep." He stuttered.

Pause.

You look down at the ground as you scoff. You grab a kitchen knife used for cutting chocolate, and quickly stab the cutting board right next to his hand. The knife makes a bang sound as it stiffly stood on the stable vertically. The knife was centimeters away from his finger tips, and he gulped at the thought of his fingers being cut off. You look back up at him, making direct contact with his terrified eyes. The entire café went silent. Even the customers were quiet.

"You come here after 2 hours of opening, and you come here unprepared, uneducated, and unprofessional. You get a job where it is top 10 on the charts of the most popular café's in Seoul, and you choose to slack off and lose money. Well Kim Taehyung, most employees in this café work their asses off to pay their college tuition without help from daddy's credit card so it's either you do more than your best, or you leave. I'm tired of people like you thinking they can do whatever they want. Not everyone can afford that."

You said in a cold manner. Your voice was like ice, and Taehyung was stuck in it. He was frozen. He didn't know what to do. You pulled the bent knife out of the cutting board with ease and threw it away. You walked away with a glare in your eye and continued to make the mocha lattes and take orders that Jin was yelling out.

As soon as you walked out, Taehyung gulped the lump in his throat. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down and he wiped off the sweat on his forehead. The whole crew were frozen as well, as soon as you stabbed the cutting board, they've never seen that side of you, you were always a cheery, sassy person. Jimin stuttered as he dropped the mop that he was cleaning the floor with. His mouth was wide open.

"I- isn't s-she your best friend since highschool?"

Taehyung looked over at him and chuckled.

"Yeah... she is." He looked over at you, concentrating so hard on getting the perfect sugar to milk ratio.

"And maybe more." He smirked.
