Katsumi went to the front door and placed a card which said, ' We Are Open '. Smiling, he went back to the kitchen to see how the others were doing.
A moment later, Yoojung and Baekhyun entered the kitchen from the dressing room in their uniforms.
Their uniforms consisted of a white short sleeve blouse, a maroon collar ribbon, dark grey vest, a short blue skirt for Yoojung, black pants for Baekhyun.
“ Is the showcase stocked up? ” Yoojung asked and Gina nodded.
“ I just placed the last of the Butterfly’s Kiss in there. ” She explained.
“ Let’s just hope this goes as planned. ” Akane said and everyone nodded.
Yoojung and Baekhyun looked at each other before going out front. A few minutes later, a middle-aged lady walked through the door with another younger lady.
“ Mom! It looks so Japanese like in here. Now I’m sure I would like to study in Japan! ” The younger lady tugged on the elder lady’s shirt.
“ Of course. Let’s order something first while we discuss, alright? ” the elder lady promised and the both of them made their way to the cashier.
“ Welcome to Café Auréole. What can I get for you two ladies? ” Yoojung bowed.

“ I hope you enjoy the food! ” Yoojung smiled and the lady’s daughter took the tray and went to sit down on one of the tables.
Minutes later, Katsumi came out and served the drinks, before going back to the kitchen.
“ Remember to record it down. Ms Hwang will want to check. ” Baekhyun reminded and Yoojung nodded before taking out a small notebook and recording the sales.
As time passed, there were more and more people coming in and their sales slowly increased. Preparing flyer beforehand, Yoojung and Baekhyun went to attract even more customers. By peak hour , the place became crowded with students.

“ Over there. ” He nodded at a table with seven good looking boys.
Yoojung nodded and walked towards their table.
“ Your drinks and desserts. ” Yoojung smiled at the table.
