park jonghyun

1997. Here comes Hades! Jonghyun is the heir to his family's fashion business, but he's also a prominent figure in the dance community just like Eunjae. He's doing all he can to continue to dance, working strenuous shifts shadowing his father and double majoring in business and fashion at Seoul National University. He's known Eunjae for a long time now, looking after her and making sure the money they earn together all goes to her. While protective of those around him, he also keeps them in check with his rationality. Jonghyun's not only a goofball but also a fool, and he's yet to realize a few important details about himself. But that's fine. One step at a time! Uh, no, on the count of three, please.

kim minwoo

1998. Minwoo's been here and there, to say the least. Born in Gwangju, carried over to the United States during his early teen years, only to be brought back in South Korea some years later. But in Seoul. Minwoo's got his brother as a constant piece of home and loves his brother dearly. Almost a bit too much, but that doesn't stop Minwoo from looking out for his sibling. Minwoo's just finished his gap year and started attending university, holding a huge aspiration to become an action fantasy author. Perhaps it was fate, or maybe it was a pursuit for inspiration, but Minwoo finds his way to the cafe and comes back for reasons yet to be known.

cai xukun

1998. Xukun is a student from Tsinghua University on a travel abroad program under Seoul National University. He's a regular, perhaps hogging one of the TVs playing Assassin's Creed with his buddies. Maybe with a plate of shortcake to the side. He's only in Korea for the school year, but he's found a piece of home in Zhihui after they got to know each other. Zhihui's busy now, but that won't stop him from taking other measures to be able to talk with her. Hey, Xukun– Dude! That's the second time you've missed my signal! Stop staring at her, we gotta finish this mission!

Hyun Kyumin

1997. Subin's loving boyfriend. The two seem to be in an endless cycle of the honeymoon stage, which may or may not cause anguish to those who have to witness their doting on each other. Nevertheless, Kyumin will be a known presence to those in the cafe now that Subin is working here. Slowly but surely, he does end up making friends out of the rest of the employees in the cafe. While he's definitely far from being a Smash champ, Kyumin is up for a challenge and is ready to rumble!

? ? ?

A mysterious girl who frequents the convenience store at ungodly times, usually when Dahn works. She grabs her chips and her latte, and then she's gone with the wind. Only time will tell if he will ever get to know more about her.

im chohee

2000. One of Hanyeon's long-time friends, Chohee is much more upbeat and unabashed compared to Hanyeon. A regular in the cafe, though it's mostly because Hanyeon's the easiest to bug among their friend group. It's no wonder why they stick, though. Chohee is often caught up with announcements and releases of the next big thing in the video game community and Hanyeon's usually the one who can hold a proper conversation about it among their other friends. You might see her taking full advantage of the gaming cafe, but she's also the one regular who's probably 50% responsible over the alarmingly faster depletion rate of the vanilla milkshakes.

min yoongi

1995. Zhihui's friend with an awkward past. The two met working at a small flower shop, but what stuck the two together was their love for music. He's someone who's taught Zhihui many things, though it's high time that she ventures out there and learn and experience more things herself. Despite the rough period the two went through, Yoongi's willing to watch her grow every step of the way, independent from anybody else. There's a sense of contentment as he listens to Zhihui tell little updates of her life over boba. And maybe take it away a little less every time she makes him take her notes at lectures.

icon

lee dohee

1999. Soyul's best friend and roommate. While Soyul is modest, Dohee is confident. So what brings them together? Appreciating cute guys, of course! Dohee has a job of her own at her parents' cafe in order to get a swing in the business life. When she isn't busy, Dohee may be found at the cafe when Soyul is working or going on a date with yet another handsome guy. And hey, if people can't help but be charmed by her confidence, why not date? Not a single cute guy in her vicinity will be left unnoticed. Steer clear if you can't handle being flirted with!

It's lovely to see how lively everyone is all together and slowly molding together haha
The naming of plants was such an adorable bit HAHA I was smiling to myself the entire time
Really appreciated getting a small looking into Eunjae's personal life or how a typical day of her's would be like :) you did an amazing job with how her thought process is and how she's handling all on her plate so far.

Chapter 12: lol hello again :). I love how they’re all referred to as children even though they’re at least 18 years old XD

NAMING PLANTS IS NY FAVORITE THING For real. All my plants have names, your names definitely beat mine though lol

Taeryung and his little YouTube channel, of course he calls Minjin manly cause he’s a gamer!

Awesome chapter. Nice to see this active again!

Chapter 10: OKAY. OKAY I'M HERE.

Sion, you've been EXPOSED. That'll teach you to put poor innocent crying people on your story! Jikyung is gold I tell you. Gold. Gosh poor Junhyuk though. He's so stressed and worried over this job. But here comes Eunjae! Eunjae just makes everything better by being herself. But she seems to be making Junhyuk feel so much more at ease, and they're all getting to know each other. She's even mindful of Dahn! I might be an Eunjae fangirl~~~ Oh man, Dahn's reaction to Elmo is the best. The best. He's just noped out of there so fast. It's such a genuine reaction. I just love how the three povs flowed together for the day! All the elmo and cthullu just make it so awesome!
This cafe just has so many awkward ducks and I'm loving it. Jihoon having to be told by Hanyeon what probably seems so basic to her is so real. Starting new jobs is so stressful! But it;s nice that Zhihui seems to be acclimating well! Aside form the shock of seeing Minjin. Ahhhh young sibling love! Plants. Yes, every place needs plants. Good call Minjin. sksksksksk
I love love loooooove the Minki section. Get it my son! You show them your gamerpedia skills! But the difference with these kids compared to the previous ones! They seem much more comfortable! And Yohan and Seongjun interactions feel so nice. No don't be modest Yohan! You're amazing baby!! And the Smash contest? I AM MINKI. I have totally done that! It was embarassing and so much fun! I really, really love how the kids are all interacting. You really get a sense of group dynamics and who is probably going to get along with who so far. And Yohan just giving up. Bye Kirby! Legit I would have done the same.

I'm so sorry this took so long! I'll come back and do part 2 comment tomorrow for your latest update! Ahhhh I really loved the updates!

Chapter 11: LMAOOO I laughed at the innocent reaction of Minki asking if Sion and Eunjae were talking about school clubs hahaha is it finally the foreshadowing of all the kiddos in the cafe going to a club together? jkjk but that would be pretty dope
And seeeeeee food always works when it comes to helping people warm up to each other!! Food always wins HAHA I'm glad that Eunjae got Hanyeon to slowly but surely warm up to her
This update really made my week, especially with school back in session lmao thank you for this update and I'm looking forward to the next one! Hope everything has been well with you, author-nim ^^~

Chapter 9: hello bb, i’m back to catch up on your recent updates for mp and i’m so happy that the story is really kicking off!! i love your writing style - it’s really detailed without being overly wordy or confusing, and the characterization you portrayed for yohan is A+

so, reading through the first chapter, i wheezed at the cult of cthulhu and the elmo doll LMAO. jikyung sounds so disappointed, but lowkey i’d probably pull the same prank as hyun. and of course, yohan would really be that one guy who asks if there are any benefits through the cult membership. it's also really interesting to see how they meet and prepare for the training - it makes me fond of these kiddos.

overall, i love the humor in this so far! it’s so enjoyable and light to read, and really gives a nice slice-of-life comedy friendship vibe. i was going to combine my thoughts for the first and second chapter but i didn’t want to see it jumbled all up, so i’m off to read the next chapter really soon. love this so far though, and i’m excited for what’s more to come!
