Cookie's Point of View

"Oh Man, oh man, oh man!"  No one even took the business cards on these bulletin boards and poles.  No one was interested in getting a job at the cafe.  What was I gonna do now that Kristi was going to go back to America?  There wouldn't be enough workers here!

I was panicking.  I looked at the bulletin board again and saw that there were tons of job listings.  Of course.  Working as a waiter or waitress was nothing compared to being a...part-time computer manufactures' assistant.  Okay.  So there were much cooler jobs there.

I walked past that board and continued on.  I spotted a stark white poster with some guys on it.  It was an advertisement for a Reality TV Show called Idols for Hire. "For hire?"  I asked no one in particular.

It read, 

IDOLS FOR HIRE!  WANTS A NICE WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND A NICE HOME ENOUGH TO SUPPORT 6 TEEN SENSATIONS!  THE IDOLS ARE...BOYFRIEND!   THEY, IN TURN, WILL WORK AT YOUR WORKPLACE AND EARN MONEY FOR YOU FOR 5 MONTHS!  CONTACT LEE HWANG MIN OR HIS ASSISTANT FOR MORE INFORMATION.  HAVE PICTURES OF YOUR WORKPLACE AND HOME!  CALL 010-4515-4246 OR E-MAIL LEE HWANG MIN AT [email protected].  EXPECT A REPLY 5-7 DAYS TIME. CONTACT NOW!

Then, it showed a picture of a group of guys.  One of them caught my eye.  The red haired one.  He looked the oldest, too.  Donghyun was his name.  That's cute.

So...I would get celebrities to work in my cafe?  That could raise the cafe's popularity and I would get and extra 5 workers.  This is great!  And Cookie's Cafe was clean and beautiful!  And the upstairs part of the cafe was where my home was.  I had a 4 room townhouse.  The bottom was just empty space, so I created a cafe there.  And now the upstairs section was my home.  Sure, I was lonely, but Kristi lived with me and Jae Mi would sometimes sleepover when she was lonely, too.  But...sleeping with guys?

Awkward!

But, Lemme think...there could be 2 of the idols sharing one room and that would leave one room for me.  And that would be perfect!

I quickly went home and grabbed my camera.

Okay, so first up is room one.

Room two:

Room three:

My room:

The two bathrooms.  One for me and one for the guys:

That's the one in my room, the next is the guys bathroom.

The living room that led to the dining room:

Then finally, my beautiful kitchen:

It was so high tech, I didn't even know how to work some of the features.

I decided to put in the photo of my cafe.

"Done!"  I said to no one in particular.

I quickly collected the pictures and e-mailed my application and pictures to the e-mail address.

I closed my laptop...

"...And that's how I'm gonna save this cafe."  I said to Kristi.

"You sure that's gonna work?"  She asked.

"No.  But it's my last hope."

"Oh, well, let's see what they said."

"I should be receiving an e-mail today, at around this time."

"Check your e-mail."

Since there was almost no customers, I went upstairs and grabbed my laptop.

I went onto my Yahoo! account and checked.

"Omo!  It's here!"  I said.  Here goes nothing!
