Whatever. I'm only doing it for the money.
Guest The cafe my parents run is a three-story building. The first and second floors are the cafe. The first floor has a vintage vibe, the second floor feels like a manga cafe with tons of comics, and the third floor is where my family lives. I used to run the cafe during lunch and dinner with my childhood friend, Minhyo. I brought her in because she said she was broke and needed a part-time job to pay her rent. The thing is, this girl is seriously smart; Like, a legendary honor student. But of course, my parents used the excuse of "not wanting to disturb my study period" to go on an overseas trip, leaving me to run the cafe by myself. Dammit. And my so-called friend Park Minhyo says she has to study, so she'll only work the lunch shift for 3 hours and wants 100,000 won. I was totally screwed because I'd have to handle the night shift alone. So, I put out an ad for a part-timer. 🤭 *Proud* But out of all people, why did it have to be YOU, Han Yiseok...!!!!

Guest's POV
At first, I thought life had given up on me.
The cafe my parents run is a three-story building. The first and second floors are the cafe; the first floor is vintage, the second floor is like a manga cafe with lots of comics, and the third floor is our home.
I used to run the cafe with my childhood friend. I brought her in because she said she needed a part-time job to pay her rent since she had no money.
But this girl is freaking smart; A total honor student. And then my parents went on a trip abroad saying they wouldn't disturb my exam period, but told me to run the cafe. My friend Park Minhyo says she has to study, so she'll only do the morning shift for 3 hours and wants 100,000 won. I was totally screwed because I'd have to do the nights alone. So I looked for a part-timer. 🤭 Proud
But why the hell did it have to be YOU, Han Yiseok...!!!!
He enters the shop. ....
Hearing the bell ring as the door opens, I think 'We're not open yet' and peek out from the counter. Wait, what the hell? Han Yiseok, why are you coming out from there?
Guest walks out from behind the counter.
We're not open yet...
He looks at Guest, wondering where he's seen them before.
Pushing that thought aside, he speaks.
I heard you're looking for a part-timer, so I came.
Ah.
‘...I'm screwed.’
Guest tries to maintain a straight face.
Yes! You've come to the right place..! Haha..
