a la' petit fours
Description
Do you remember down the street with the Antique Bakery? You know, past eighth avenue and turn right on twelth, that bakery? There's this baker there, not Kyungsoo, but the girl who bakes the macarons, eclairs, mille feuille and especially the petit fours?
You know her? Why her? Well, I heard that she bakes without having a sense of taste! It's really amazing, I swear, Kyungsoo has to taste it for her and they're so cute!
Oh, no, you know how Jongdae comes every now and then? You know why? No, no, not because of Minseok, but because of her, he's her neighbor and he takes her home, all the time, cute right? You don't think it's because he likes her, do you?
Gosh no, I bet that scary looking guy, what's his name? Zitao? He likes her, do you see how he waits on the tables and runs to the kitchen? He only does that to see her, even if he's kind of cold at first, he's a sweetheart to a girl like her!
Oh, what about Sehun though? Aren't they good friends? I see them all the time in the university, he's always tasting her petit fours, always asking for more, but he's so mean to everyone else, even her roommate! How does that work?
Love can do strange things, you have to admit. But the girl herself is so cold, so mean, why do these guys like her? She isn't that amazing. Besides I want Sehun to myself..
Maybe, it's because she's winning them over through their stomach, you know the saying: a way to a guy's heart is through his sotmach. And she does the sweetest things. You have to admit even though she isn't the nicest, she always does the nicest things. And maybe, just maybe, one of them can mend the baker's poor heart.
"May I help you?"
"Two petit fours, and, oh, can you heal Ahn Chun Hei's heart?"

The baker who can't taste anything. She's the herorine of the story, wanting more than anything in the world to own a bakery for herself, she works hard at the antique bakery for experience. She's oblivious to the other guys around her and when strangers talk to her, she's cold and straightforward, more than anything, she wants that bakery that she dreamed of since she was little. And that's the only thing her eyes are set on.
The co-chef, with Chun Hei at his side, he's always smiling. And of course, he's always up for a challenge when it comes to baking as well, Chun Hei's right hand man when it comes to tasting, he always advises her what to add to the reicipe or add in whatever is needed to the mix because she doesn't know what tastes good or bad anymore.
The next door neighbor, always joining her for dinner (So Ra included, of course) or stopping by the bakery to see her. And sometimes in the middle the night, he sleeps over in her living room and makes a mess because he's that kind of guy. Snarky but friendly, Chun Hei finds him the most interesting kid on the block.
Chun Hei's closest friend since high school, sure, they're not the most talkative bunch, but he's a bit stand-offish and young, though he doesn't understand what's going on in the pit of his stomach, he understands her the same way she understands him. They're coldhearted and straightforward, that's why they're so close.
A barista at Antique Bakery, he's intimidating at first glance, but once you hear the heavily accented soft Korean, you realize he's the sweetest person ever. The definition of an gentleman, he's always entering the kitchen with a smile and asking Chun Hei how her day is, but he really is the sweetest panda ever.
Chun Hei's roommate, wild and loud, she is in love with the idea of wanderlust, but there's this one boy who she can't seem to win, and the awkward thing is that it's Chun Hei's closest friend, Sehun. She understands the both of them, but she wants him to finally open up to a girl like her and not just Chun Hei.
Foreword
Hellooo, I'm diatribe, but just call me dia. Anyways, why a story with a love pentagon? I've always wanted to write a fluff piece over the summer with filler chapters, I've always wanted to write a cliche love story too, and with the handsome men of EXO, they made it so much easier than I expected. Again, this is something I've always wanted to write and omg, I love fluffy love stories, so, you know, just watch out for that. Anyways, the bakery specializes in a lot of different pastries, but Chun Hei is in charge of the French pastries and some of the easier pastries made in America. It's probably Kyungsoo's job to make everything else. LOL.. Okay, okay, I think that's it, so stay around and read on, please! ♥
