Work Text:
Taehyung was intensely kneading dough, with shear anger in his eyes.
“Stupid jeongguk.. stupid awards.. stupid—“
His curseful muttering was interrupted by his co-worker, Park Jimin. A blonde haired dude, Taehyung would describe him as ‘pretty cool’. To get that level of a compliment from Taehyung was like winning a Grammy.
“Taehyung-ah. Why are you cursing Busan’s top baker under your breath when you should be working on those hundred cupcakes we have to do for Mrs. Kang?” Jimin had scolded lightly, in a sweet voice though, so it really wasn’t that harsh at all.
“Don’t even call him that.” Taehyung snaps. “He’s not even that good, we have skills too, our bakery has had the most returning customers for years.. He’s new and thinks he owns everything? How exhausting.”
Taehyung continues kneading the dough with increased strength.
Jimin just stares and sighs. His bestfriend is an absolute lost cause.
“Well unless Jeon Jeongguk can get his ass in here and help with these cupcakes, I best advise you stop talking about him. Also, why are you about to break my bakery counters.”
Taehyung looks up and finally stops with that dough. He sighs, his black and blonde highlighted hair falling slightly infront of his face.
“Look, Jimin, you know I’m sorry I’m just stressed because of this upcoming competition, especially since Jeongguk is competing. I really thought he stayed in Daegu with Min Yoongi.” Taehyung bit his nails as he talked.
Jimin leaned against the counter and smiled, gently rubbing Taehyung’s hand. “I know, Tae. It’s okay, you’ll do great, you’re gonna win it for our bakery!” Jimin continues caressing the side of Tae’s palm.
“Also.. does anybody know if Jeongguk is even signed to a bakery?”
Taehyung perks up. “No he’s not even signed to a bakery! And the even crazier pa—“
The door chimes. Both Jimin and Taehyung’s heads snaps up. Speak of the devil,
Right in-front of everybody, Jeon Jeongguk confidently struts into the bakery. His hair is semi long, semi short, he’s well dressed and smiling ear to ear. He has intricate tattoos lining his arm and hand. A few piercings too.
Jimin is stunned. Taehyung is displeased.
“Hello! How can we help you?” Jimin happily exclaims. Taehyung gives him a glare.
“Hi, I’d like a job.” Jeongguk smiles and waves, polite as ever.
“Oh you’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.”Taehyung mutters under his breath.
