Poppy Playtime Worker AU Shenanigans:

you can find the members' i've written at #worker au!!

•one of the sweetest cutest pastry chef you've ever seen

•chenle's favs in the cafe are probably the cakes especially green tea cake

•enjoys working in the back room but he's clumsy af and the others have to look after him so he doesn't burn himself with the oven

•smells like vanilla essence he nearly accidentally spills every time

•wears that little brown apron covered with flour that makes him look real cute

•there's always bits of flour covering his face and it makes him extra cute when he smiles and the customers just nearly can't take his cuteness

•i think chenle's favourite job to do is decorating the cake like he gets to use as much frosting and cream as he likes and sprinkle just whatever onto the cake as long as it looks nice

•can make candy like taffy, toffee and all those and he can make them into pretty things like flowers

•once he made a cake and put a candied rose on it and was displayed the cake was sold in about five minutes with people arguing about which one of them gets the cake and chenle didn't make it again bc he doesn't want the customers to fight

•one day you just wandered aimlessly down the same street where the cafe was since you had nothing to do

•you initially wanted to sneak into your parents' extra car for a drive but then you didn't want to risk your life so you gave up lol

•while walking past the blocks you found a little signboard standing beside a colourful framed glass door, the daily menu scribbled with colourful chalks and cute drawings were drawn by the side so you entered

•the interior was also just like the board by the door, all colourful in pastel colours in a aesthetic way and a display case showcasing the treats

•there were lots of people in the cafe at an unusual time which was like three in the evening where people were either at work or just staying home but you didn't bother it much and went to order a cake

•that was the hardest choice in your life at that moment

•the cakes were all decorated beautifully with the cake's main ingredient's colour without like a whole bowl of cream just simply and they were all your favourite flavours

•someone behind you grumbled about you taking too long and you just decided to ask the friendly looking boy standing behind the counter waiting for you for a cake suggestion whose name tag says chenle

•for a moment you just stared at him, marvelling at his cute face which just screams that he's the epitome of cuteness and the flour on his face and the small baker hat didn't help with you gushing internally about his adorableness

•chenle - "hello?" he says as he waved a in front of your eyes and you snapped out of it and composed yourself

•you - "um can you give me a recommendation for a cake? it's my first time here and the people behind me a shooting lasers at me" and he laughs at your words

•chenle - "sure how about the green tea slice? it's not too sweet and i guess it'll heal some of the holes from the lasers at your back"

•the two of you laughed and you went with his pick which was ready within a moment then quickly paid to avoid anymore looks from them

•you took a seat at a table for two near the counter and you could see the inside of the kitchen through your position through the small glass window??

•there inside was the boy serving you just now, working hard on something he was pulling (and you found it amazing that he could change from serving people cakes and pulling candy just a minute ago)

•you just stared in fascination as he continued pulling them until they form a shape and began pressing and poking them to add the details to it and it was just amazing how pieces of the sticky sugary stuff can be made into something so beautiful

•because of your curiosity in the candy pulling you began to frequent the cafe and chenle always serves you then runs back to the kitchen immediately

•you've seen him make little people figures that were set in the top layer of the display case and boii were they gone fast luckily you bought one right before the mob entered and you studied the candy and certified that he's a prodigy

•obviously through all the visits and him serving you'd know more than a thing of two about chenle and even got his number but none of you invited the other to hang out or anything just some memey chats in the middle of the night

•so like a month and a half gone by with you going to the place nearly every day makes you question actually why you're always there

•and boom you found out it was because meme boy invaded your mind and you have a crush on him

•you didn't dare to say anything so you just continued acting like how you usually were with him

•it felt kinda weird tho bc when he's out at the counter for even a little while the customers flirt with him (not that they don't with the others) and it makes you feel jumbled instead of hurt bc you have no idea that you're feeling jealous (it's your first crush I guess)

•recently you found him staying in the kitchen more making the same-lookinf candy for a few days straight

•one day you received a message from him saying : "can you stay until six?"

•you remembered that that was the cafe closing time and thought it was a weird time but you agreed nonetheless

•soo fast forward to that time you just sat there awkwardly as his co-workers aka dreamies were cleaning up the cafe until jeno brought you to the kitchen where chenle was

•right before jeno leaves you and chenle he shouts smth like chenle owns him a week worth of fries

•so you two awkwardly stand silently until chenle takes a deep breath and starts to talk

•chenle - "um (y/n) here"

•he gives out a bouquet of roses, candy roses glittering in all their might under the light and you just gushed over the beauty of it

•you - "i love these!! but what's the occasion?? our birthdays are over"

•chenle - "i like you"

•you just looked up at him seeing his blush on his cheeks and your mind tried to process his words

•once the words finally sink in you set down the bouquet and throw your arms around him pulling him into a hug and chenle could barely comprehend what was happening

•you - "what took you so long to say it??"

•chenle - "h-huh you k-knew?? about me liking you? the roses took me a long time to make if it weren't for them i wouldn't even wait this long"

•you - "then you don't have to make them"

•chenle - "but i want to make you feel loved" basically he's a cheese ball as he continued to talk and to stop him you had to kiss him on the cheek

•"i like you too candy boy"
