January 1st of 2021.
A New Year had arrived finally, and with it, the promise of an unforgettable new year ahead of them.
They all had big plans in their lives for the new year whether professionally or in their personal lives.
For example, Kumiko planned to ask to assume bigger responsibilities at the restaurant. She wanted to give her all before the 'internship' ended and she had to report to the culinary school.
Even though Theo hired them as regular cooks, they still had to report back to their school if they wanted to graduate from the culinary school they studied.
Theoretically, the internship would end after they graduated, most of the students went through that, but as they were regular employees of Theo's restaurant, they would only go pick up their diplomas before getting back to work at the restaurant.
