Chapter 12 - 12.0

Jen and Jestine were in charge into restocking the pantries and answering the deliveries.

Risa and Prim will help on waiting tables.

"Miss Luna, why not open the diner everyday instead of only on weekends?" John raised.

Luna blinked at him and smiled. "Oh about that, I'm still studying and I need to attend school on weekdays."

"Are you still student?" Ben was very surprise to know that.

Luna nodded. "If I open on weekdays, Ben wont be here, I wont be here, Milo and Bobby too."

"We can fill for their absences, ms. Luna." Jen said while the rest of the girls nodded.

"How about your trainings?"

"We only have few practices in a week." Kisa answered.

"We can also come here during our vacant schedules." Milo also pitched in.

Luna turned to John . "Please arrange things for me."

John nodded before turning to the crew in serious face. "Girls, give me your schedules and you too, Bobby and Milo."

They all nodded to John while Luna stood up.

"I'm gonna go first guys and John please brief them for few things. If you needed more people to work on weekdays, you can hire for more. If you can, can you find me a contractor for our expansion."

"Expansion?" Hoon asked.

Luna pointed at the adjoined building of their diner . "We'll have it open after its renovations."

"Whoa, looks like we gonna have a restaurant instead of a small diner." Yoon said. "Maybe we can introduce new menu, miss Luna."

"That would be awesome." Luna said while Yoon and Hoon actually high-five excitedly since they can practice their craft while working.

Luna then walked toward the door while talking gently to her cat.

"Please take care, Luna-shi!" the diner's crew bowed down to her while Luna waved cheerfully at them. She then started walking on the street not seeing how she looked adorable to the eyes of her crew when she talked to her grumpy cat.

Later at night, Luna was done washing dishes and was just hanging around the living room with her cat.

***************************************************************

Luna was blankly petting Yong's head while she watched intently on the news of robbery and rape case which grew rampant. What was very alarming, it was close to her neighborhood. The police was still looking for the culprits for ten days already. She then took note to bring her pepper sprays and as much as possible, not to walk alone at night. By mere thought of falling into a victim, she shivered so much that she didn't notice she held Yong's head rather firmly which the cat groaned.

"Oh sorry," Luna said while looking at the sleeping cat . "You are a sleepy head, aren't you?" she said while gently lifting the cat above her chest . She reached the remote to turn off the TV and decided to climb up her room to rest for the night. But before she did so, she made sure she locked all the doors and windows for safety purposes.

"We need to be vigilant around here, Yong-ah. There are so many bad guys around the area." Luna talked while she went to her room, caressing Yong's furry back.

Reaching her bed, she placed the cat down there and tied her hair in preparation to wash for the night. The cat lifted its head to her when she turned back from bed and unceremoniously took off all her clothes, leaving her on her yellow panties and bra. Instead of discarding the clothes first, she folded it neatly, placing them on top of the chair. She'll threw it on the laundry basket later.

Just before Luna proceeded into the bathroom, she opened her drawer first to find something in there when she caught the cat looking at her in a most bored look ever through the mirror. She turned to the orange cat , feeling weirdly awkward at its stares . As if it was a human, checking her out openly. But maybe she was just imagining it when the cat meowed in the most bored tone ever to her before it placed its head comfortable to its folded front feet.

Luna shrugged off her shoulders, dismissing that she might just being weird. It's not possible to have a cat checking her out. For all she knows, cats find human a lesser being, existing only to feed them. In animal kingdom, cats thought of themselves as royalty above all else. It happened that her stray orange cat was practicing to be royal at her own house. But she always find him cute. Shaking her head, she continued to look for something in the drawer before she went in the bathroom.

It took her few minutes before she was done on her shower and walked in the room again. She dried her hair for five minutes before she slid on her sheets, gently grabbing Yong to hug the cat. The cat didn't as much as protest like the first time she did it and just let her do what she like.

"Night, night, Yongie-ah."

The cat meowed in response which made her smiled in closed eyes. She liked how their relationship progressed.

In the morning, Luna was already heading towards the diner with a cat on her arms.

Upon seeing her coming inside, Jestine ran up to open the door for her.

"Good morning, Luna-shi."Jestine greeted her.

"You girls are early." Luna commended when she found Jen and Kisa preparing the tables along with Milo and Bobby. She placed the cat in one of the tables and petted it briefly.

"Are you guys leaving later?" she turned to Bobby and Milo .

"Yeah, we're helping out. Our class starts at nine anyway. Ben has his first period at seven." Milo explained.

"How about you girls? No training?" Luna asked.

"We have tomorrow." Kisa said.

"We already secured all deliveries yesterday, Miss Luna." Jen said.

"Good work girls and please you can call me unnie." Luna said while the girls nodded.

"Are you perhaps going to school, unnie?" Prim asked.

"Yeah. I'm leaving my cat here. Please don't let anyone touch him unless if you can bare painful claw wounds." Luna chuckled before she gone over the kitchen which was very busy now with Yoon and Hoon in preparation for the diner business.
