Chapter 352
The first day of
"We're done for business today!"
"Wow."
"Wow!"
Just like he did in the morning, Song Hyung-bin turned the sign hanging in front of the door to (Closed), officially ending the first day of business.
The members who would have normally responded with high tension and shouted in agreement, but they were all passionately performing their assigned tasks and had no energy.
Yoo Min-ha clapped his hands down like a seal.
"My arms won't go up. I can only clap like this."
"I can't feel my fingers either."
"Hyung, we really worked hard. Really."
"I know, I know."
Yoo Min-ha in charge of kimbap and Chae Eun-gyu in charge of bibimbap.
An affectionate atmosphere flowed between the two.
The two members who were originally not good at cooking had a hard time taking charge of the menus that were unusually popular today.
They seemed even more affectionate because they were sitting right next to each other and seeing each other's hard work.
Kang Si-yoon smiled brightly, still proudly wearing the chef's armband on his arm.
"We finish the first day without any accidents. Everyone worked really hard."
"That's right. I thought we would definitely have an accident."
Song Hyung-bin used his fingers to trace the mistakes we had made in the past.
"Let's see. There was also a statement that rice should be washed with dish soap."
"Oh, that was really embarrassing, why are you saying that again!"
"There was also a time when seaweed was constantly soaked."
"......That was unexpected."
"Didn't you burn all the coffee beans when you made coffee?"
"Uh, uh-uh-uh!"
Heo Yu-bin, Ji Yoon-chul, and Yoo Min-ha tried hard to explain their dark pasts.
Kang Si-yoon, who couldn't miss his younger brothers' embarrassing moment, continued Song Hyung-bin's words in a very bright voice.
"I told you, guys. That was then, and you have done well this time."
"Why are you comforting us, hyung?"
"This is all possible because you have an outstanding chef."
"......I had hoped, but as expected, it ends with bragging about yourself."
Kang Si-yoon whistled and pretended not to see Ji Yoon-chul's cold words and gaze.
However, Yoo Min-ha didn't stop there and hit him with facts.
"But when we ruined the rice and seaweed soup on Karis hyung's birthday, hyung was in the kitchen."
"Oh, hehe."
"You didn't mean to say that the chef's power came on so late, did you?"
"Wow, Min-ha."
"Why!"
Kang Si-yoon looked at Yoo Min-ha with eyes that were truly filled with admiration.
"Did you use mind reading skills? How did you know?"
"Have you ever seen someone this shameless?"
"Hahaha!"
"Come here! Ah, ahh!"
Yoo Min-ha, who wanted to hit Kang Si-yoon who had been teasing him, unfortunately failed to attack because his arms were sore.
"I'm really going to hit that hyung someday."
"Should I massage it later?"
"It's okay, your hand hurts too."
"You need to get better quickly so you can hit Si-yoon hyung."
"Oh, that's what you meant?"
Heo Yu-bin nodded proudly at Yoo Min-ha's words.
The two same-age friends exchanged glances and quietly bumped fists without saying a word, strengthening their friendship.
Song Hyung-bin and I looked at our two younger brothers and had the same thought.
"Si-yoon will definitely settle his karma."
"I think it's only natural since he's built up so much."
"Right? What are we going to do later?"
"We can leave it alone. It's their life. What are we going to do?"
"It's cold, Karis."
"It doesn't matter if you're cold-hearted to Siyoon."
As soon as we returned to the hotel where we were staying, we could hear groans from all over the place.
"Wow, I thought this would be easy since I've been working hard, but my muscle pain is no joke. Seriously."
"You're being way over the top, hyung."
"Should I put on a patch?"
Chae Eun-gyu opened his carrier and showed off numerous medical supplies.
Chae Eun-gyu had prepared everything, from muscle pain medication to patches.
Heo Yu-bin gratefully applied the muscle pain medication, but then suddenly felt something strange and raised his head.
"No, something's strange. Eun-gyu hyung, did you pack all this?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"No, no, hyung, you're always this well-prepared? If I remember correctly, you shouldn't have even organized your luggage."
"That's right. You took out the medicine so naturally that I didn't even notice."
"Huh?"
Chae Eun-gyu, who is famous for being the most unorganized in Seleste, packed his bags so neatly and even prepared medical supplies.
The members couldn't even imagine it.
But there is a reason for everything.
Chae Eun-gyu scratched his cheek with an embarrassed smile.
"When we were packing in Korea, Karis told me to pack this and that."
"Somehow. No matter how I looked at it, it was hard to believe that Eun-gyu hyung did this all by himself."
"As expected, Karis is the one who does big things."
"This doesn't seem like a big deal at all."
When I said it as if it was nothing, Kang Si-yoon shook his head.
"Since you became roommates with Eun-gyu hyung, he wakes up by himself every morning and even eats his meals. He even packs his own bags by himself. How amazing."
"That... Why do I feel like a newborn when I hear this?"
We had a good laugh at Chae Eun-gyu's words.
Song Hyung-bin patted my shoulder as if I had worked hard.
"It must be hard because of Eun-gyu hyung."
"No. This is easy. I can carry Eun-gyu hyung several more times."
"Oh, please. I think I only have to experience that once in my life."
"I'm sorry, but hyung, haven't you already been carried on Karis hyung's shoulders three times?"
"Don't mention such embarrassing things, really!"
Chae Eun-gyu tried to use the patch he had torn off to put on Yoo Min-ha's arm as a gag.
While Yoo Min-ha was laughing out loud as if something was so funny, Ji Yoon-chul nodded at me with the most serious expression on his face.
"...... As expected of hyung. It seems like there's nothing you can't do."
"That's not it. Aren't there things I'm not good at, like making egg rolls?"
"...Hyung, your egg rolls were a little funny."
Ji Yoon-chul smiled slightly, perhaps thinking of the picture of my egg dumplings he took with his phone.
"But you did a great job in the hall today, hyung. You did all of Hyung-bin hyung's work for an hour."
"Ah. That's why, oh my, thank you for your hard work."
Song Hyung-bin shook my shoulder.
Surprisingly, the taste was quite good, so I felt the muscles in my shoulder loosen up slightly.
So I relaxed my body and closed my eyes to receive it comfortably.
My younger brothers were very surprised to see me lying down.
"Karis Hyung, I think this is the first time I've seen you so drowsy."
"Hyung, you don't make this expression even when you sleep."
"...Hyung-bin hyung, are your hands that cool?"
"It's cool and good. Do you want to try it too?"
"Yes!"
After hearing what I said, Heo Yu-bin, Yoo Min-ha, and Ji Yoon-chul all nodded, and Song Hyung-bin laughed slightly at the sight of the customers who had increased in an instant.
"I didn't know it would be this popular."
While my younger brothers were taking turns, Chae Eun-gyu was once again amazed as he recalled my ability to control the hall.
"I would have made a mistake if I had mixed up the table numbers if I had gone out alone, but Karis remembered all the orders and requests for four tables by himself."
"That's right. I checked the hall briefly, and Karis was walking around like he was using a clone technique."
"Didn't you clearly say that you can't use the clone technique skill, hyung?"
"Haha...."
I was just concentrating as much as I could to faithfully carry out my assigned duties, but to the other members, I must have looked like someone with incredible abilities.
"I just tried hard to memorize it."
"No, I'm not exaggerating, it's really a bit. Yeah, he looked like a field commander."
When Kang Si-yoon used the word field commander, Yoo Min-ha, who was getting a massage from Song Hyung-bin, opened his eyes slightly and expressed his doubt.
"Huh? Where did you hear that word, hyung? Isn't it a military term?"
"How did you know? I heard it in a war movie I saw on Hot Flix a while ago."
"There's no way hyung would just use such a difficult word."
"Oh my!"
There are now 2 days left.
As we got the first day right, I hope the remaining period will end well without any problems.
"I was a little worried about what would happen if a lot of fans who recognize us came all at once. It could easily get chaotic. But I was really thankful that everyone kept order."
"I was so thankful that everyone read the instructions well."
"It was surprising that more locals came than I expected......."
It seems like everyone had similar thoughts while filming.
We finished filming our own content while leaving a message to Seleves thanking them for keeping order and for coming.
Now it's time to go to our rooms, wash up, and rest to recharge for tomorrow.
"Guys, you worked hard! Let's work hard tomorrow too."
"Hyungs, you worked really hard today!"
"Good night!"
***
The second day of Sellstore was much busier than the first day.
This was somewhat expected.
Seleves who know us are more likely to come here through word of mouth.
Also, some of the customers who came yesterday came back because they liked Korean food.
"Min-ha, two more kimbap rolls came in!"
"Yes!"
Still, they must have gained some experience in the past day, because they all made the food much more smoothly than yesterday.
In particular, Ji Yoon-chul seemed to be relaxed enough.
"Did you just draw this?"
"Yes. Since it's the first time I've made it, I just did a little design."
"This is awesome."
Now that he had gotten to the point where he can make egg rolls really quickly, he even drew small pictures with ketchup in his spare time.
This time, he drew a simple heart on the side of the egg roll, and then he added fancy lettering on top of the egg roll.
'I wonder if he still have the skills he used to have when he made cakes.'
Squeezing ketchup is strangely similar to using a cake piping bag, so it seems easier.
My leadership skills, which Kang Si-yoon even said were like a field commander, were still intact.
And if a napkin fell somewhere, I would grab it first without being called.
I never mixed up the table number and order sheet once and handled everything without fail.
While I was busy going between tables, I could hear the locals exclaiming in admiration at the faces of the members, including me.
Whenever that happened, I learned how to act naturally without changing my expression as much as possible, and their reactions when they found out that we were idols were really funny.
"Oh! My cousin really likes you guys! She even has a poster on the wall."
"Haha, thank you."
"If I told her that I saw Seleste today, she'd faint."
One guest excitedly told me that her acquaintance was a fan of Seleste.
"You're really Seleste?"
"Nice to meet you."
"No, you're really? Really?"
There were also fans who recognized us directly and questioned this fact that they saw before their eyes again and again.
For the members, it was a faraway country, and for me, it was a special feeling of pride in my home country that was far away from Korea.
The last content in Estonia, the largest-scale event in the history of Seleste's own content, was held successfully as everyone prepared hard.
