He passes by. Too often. It's why Hyukjae notices. Also... his coat's red. His face is... too handsome.

Hyukjae sees him. Through his rabbit knocker on the door. He has several rectangular mirrors. Behind his counter. Hidden from visiters. He keeps them near his laptop. The mirrors show what's outside each door. The far left one is for the front street.

Even his staff has noticed. Hayun calls him, "Red Coat." Hyukjae would be busy working. He'll hear an amused shout. Laugh.

"Red Coat's here again!"

Hyukjae's head would whip around. To see the mirror. View the front street.

"Why doesn't he come in?" Lily asks.

"Maybe he's from the Ministry."

"He can't be, Kyuhyun. They'd come in without even knocking!"

"I think he's new, and he's a spy," Hayun says.

"Then why a red coat?"

Hayun gasps. "You're right."

"He could be an inspector."

"Is Sungmim back?"

"No, he said tomorrow!"

"I still think he's from the Ministry."

"Hyukkieee!" Ryeowook calls. From down the hall. "She's on the phone!"

Hyukjae immediately turns. Picks up the phone.

"Yes?" he says.

Everyone's paused. To listen.

"One moment..." Hyukjae covers the mouth piece. Looks up. "Get back to work, please. Lily, three rooms downstairs. Cleaning. Hayun, check our supplies so I can send a list to Shindong. Kyu, there are two orders for food, get Ryeowook to help. Thanks -- oh, and someone find Snowball. He's snuck away again!" He goes back to the phone. "Sorry. Go on."

"Why aren't you answering me?"

"Because I assume it's not urgent. This better be."

It's a busy morning. One of their guests refused to leave. Yesterday. Hyukjae politely gave him until dawn. So he wakes up early. To roll up his sleeves. Gently get him out.

"You need my help?"

Ryeowook's poked his head. Out of his room. He's in his sleepwear.

"Oh, no. Thank you. Could you wake Kyuhyun up before you go to bed, though? Tell him to start breakfast. We have six guests checking out at ten?"

"Yes."

At around seven, Kyuhyun says:

"We need butter!"

Hyukjae turns to Hayun. She blinks her cat-like eyes.

"I put it on the list," she says. Points to his workspace.

"That's for next week. This should've been on last week's."

"Uh... I did put it on... I-I think?"

Hyukjae sighs. Grabs his coat. "Alright. I'll go get some."
