Junghwa's POV
I was clearing up the shop while the CEO approaches me. "Yes again?" I asked him.
"Come on Jennifer! You've been here for a year or two already" He chuckles at my reaction. "And?" I ask him. "And I want you to come up with a new menu for tomorrow." He says
"Can I ask why?" I ask him. "No chocolate, no pineapple, no peanut, no seafood, no tomato menu. Can you do it?" He explains asking me.
"No issues I believe." I said scratching my head a little at the request. He nods and takes his leave, I soon wrap up everything and head back.
When I got into the apartment, Yang told me my brother is away with some friends but left me some dinner. "Oh really?" I asked him
He nods as I walk into the kitchen to see the food they left for me. I just reheated and having them while working on tomorrow's menu.
"Work later." Yang tells me. "I have to think fast. It's tomorrow." I tell him as I eat. "15 minutes wont hurt." He says. "Then think of a menu without any tomatoes, peanuts, chocolate, pineapple involved while I eat." I said eating
"Serious?!" He asks me and I nodded my head. He places the food next to me. I eat and think at the same time. "A task from CEO?" He asks me and I nodded my head.
"Good luck." Yang says. "I might as well make peach cobbler cookies without peanuts, cinnamon cookies and beef quiche. Is all I can think." I said jotting down on my note as I eat
I write done some more things that doesnt include what the ceo said. "I think I have them all. I will just need make everything up." I said finishing the food and clearing everything on the table up
Once so do so I start to make some of the things, to see how eatable it is. "You be my tester." I said to Yang.
"I'm honoured." He says shyly trying the food out. "Its good." He nods as he eats some more
"Really good?" I asked him. He nods. "Good" I said as I continue noting down the recipes until my brother returns.
"Whatcha up to?" He asks looking at everything. "CEO's request for some new stuff on the menu. I have to also teach Inhye and Bora early tomorrow morning." I said texting Inhye and Bora
He nods, understanding. "How's work for you?" I asked him. "Fine. Busy but fine." He says. "Good to hear." I nodded my head before we went to wash up and retire for the night.
-The Next Day-
"Since you allergic to cucumber, Inhye, take care of the quiche. Bora you take care of the cinnamon cookies." I gave the two my instructions
They both nod going to their assigned stations. We took a while to have everything done and opened the shop.
"The coffee will be on the house." I gave the two some last instructions before going into the kitchen to get more things ready
"Keep it down." I heard a female say. "Good morning and welcome to Jen's cafe" I heard Bora greeting as always
"Good morning." Many voices say. "Today we have some new items on the menu, coffee is on the house for all." I heard Inhye continuing from what Bora started
"Thank you." Blake tells me. I nodded my head before going into the kitchen to help Inhye whose helping Bora cause Bora's still clumsy with the cookie mixer
Soon we get it all worked out and sent the cookies out. "How's everybody's day?" Blake asks us.
"All good to learn off suddenly a new menu." Bora tells Blake
"Thats good." Blake tells Bora. "Whose the owner?" The camel-looking one asks. I raised up my hand quietly as Inhye and Bora pointed to me
"You have some amazing food." He tells me. I just bowed my head quietly thanking him. "I just have this cafe feeding the masses which is a good thing." I softly said
"Good." He smiles. They soon introduced themselves to me one by one. It was a little flustering for me but I managed to keep my cool
Soon they had finished, no clue how i will remember all 20. "Nice to meet you" I bowed with a smile again
They all bowed back. "It's nice having a meal here" Seungkwan says with a smile which the rest agreed
"I like it. Do you have any other stores?" Yurina asks. "This is the only store I have here since I like to keep it simple." I said.
She nods understanding. "Do you like anymore drinks?" Inhye asks Yurina
"Latte." She says. I went to make the latte right away, giving it to her. "Thank you so much" Yurina smiles thanking me
"No worries." I say. "The cafe has only one boss and 2 employees? Have you considered getting more employees?" Woozi asks me.
"I'm more than happy with what I have at hand now." I answered. "Fair enough" he says. "And sure enough you will see us often" Hoshi says with a cheeky smile which got me a little confused
"So. We, the guys unit, are seventeen. And bighit just brought out our company." Bonnie explains. "As in BigHit brought out Pledis?" Inhye scratches her head and Bonnie nods her head
"Sweet." She says. "That way we can see each other here and there." Bora smiled
They all smiled and after a little chat, SCoups paid and we bid farewell to everybody else. "This is a sweet encounter!" Bora squealed softly
"I agree. They all are so nice!" Inhye says. "Hopefully some days we can hang out~" She smiles to herself. "Hopefully." I say before we continue with the rest of the day.
