Chapter 12 - The Cute Business Card

After finishing their "holy instant noodle ritual," Haru suddenly remembered something.

"OH! WAIT, WAIT!" He jumped up and pulled a small, colorful card from his pocket.

Leo and Riku did the same, grinning.

"SIR! THIS IS FOR YOU!"

They proudly placed the card on Renji's desk.

The Masterpiece Business Card

Renji looked down at it.

It was... unique.

💐 Background: Bright yellow with tiny flowers drawn all over.

🐱🐶🐯 Doodles:

A clumsy cat (Haru)A cute puppy (Riku)A tiny tiger (Leo)

📞 Contact Info: Instead of a phone number, they wrote—"CALL US FROM A PUBLIC PHONE!"

👨‍🍳 Names:

Leo – The "Cool" Waiter (sometimes trips over air)Haru – The "Smartest" (his brain is missing sometimes)Riku – The "Responsible One" (barely)

🏡 Owner Name: "We all own it together!"

Renji's Reaction

He picked up the card, staring at the random doodles and messy handwriting.

A powerful CEO holding a business card full of cartoon animals.

His serious expression didn't change.

The boys waited nervously.

Then—

Renji simply said, "You made this?"

Haru nodded proudly. "Yup! Yesterday night! We worked so hard!"

Leo added, "We even stayed up until midnight coloring it!"

Riku sighed. "Yeah… and SOMEONE kept messing up the spelling."

Haru pouted. "It's called STYLE!"

Renji's Answer

The office was quiet.

Then, Renji picked up the card carefully and…

Put it in his wallet.

The three boys froze.

Haru gasped. "HE KEPT IT!"

Leo whispered. "Does this mean… he likes us?"

Riku clapped his hands together. "A miracle has happened today!"

Renji ignored them and stood up. "Fine. I'll visit your café."

The boys exploded in happiness.

"YAAAAAY! SIR IS COMING TO OUR CAFÉ!" 🎉🎉🎉

Even Jun, Renji's assistant, looked shocked.

"Sir, you're really going?"

Renji simply adjusted his watch and said, "I said I would."

Leo, Haru, and Riku cheered like they won the lottery.
