[CONTENTID2]                                                -It’s been almost two months that Zelo has been working at his stepfather's restaurant-

__________IU:   W-Why are you guys always following me?

________Suzy:    Wae? We like to see Zelo working.

________Luna:   *nods* Un! He’s so manly!

__________IU:   YA! Hands off!

________Luna:   …I was only saying… I have my own so don’t worry.

________Suzy:    Right! I heard Jongup started working with Zelo at the restaurant. *suspicious look* Mama, are you following us today so you can see him?

________Luna:   *blush* I-I don’t know what you are saying.

__________IU:   (Aish… now I can’t enjoy my time watching Zelo work.)

                                                -They enter the restaurant-

_________Z&J:    Welcome! *smile smile*

________Suzy:    Sup *waves*

__________IU:   S-Sorry…

________Zelo:    *walks up to IU* Haha don’t be… the more the merrier.

__________IU:   *nods* Un I guess.

________Zelo:    You came today as well. I’m really happy.

__________IU:   *blush*

________Zelo:    Although I’m happy… don’t come every day.

__________IU:   Eh? Why not? *looks up*

________Zelo:    Take care of yourself. You can just call me or text. You still work and have classes, so coming here every time you are free will only tires yourself out.

__________IU:   A-Aoh, okay…

______Jongup:   *waves* Hi Luna.

________Luna:   H-Hi Jongup. *shy shy*

________Suzy:    Aish you lovebirds need to stop it, it’s really uncomfortable…

                                                They all giggled, and the three of them sat down at a table.

____manager:    Another shipment came, Zelo or Jongup, go take care of it.

_________Z&J:   Ye! Al-kket-sseum-ni-da! *ninety degree bows*

__________IU:   Ah… another shipment today… *depress*

________Suzy:   Wae? Zelo is working hard, but you don’t look happy.

__________IU:   I want to help him… I’ll be right back! *gets up and goes outside*

________Suzy:   YA IU! Aish she’s fast…

________Luna:   Where is IU going?

________Suzy:   She’s going to go take someone else’s job.

__________IU:   *enters restaurant carrying a box* H-Heavy… hey Jonny!

______Jongup:   Yes? And it’s Jongup… I’ve told you many times already. (Is this how Zelo feels towards Jello?)

__________IU:   W-Where do I put this?

______Jongup:   At the back! *points*

__________IU:   Aoh thanks! *goes to the back*

________Zelo:    *comes to table* What would you three ladies like to order? Hm? Where is IU?

________Suzy:   *points* Taking your job.

________Zelo:    Huh? Aish this is why I don’t want her to come here… Sorry wait one second I’ll come back and get your order. *leaves*

________Suzy:   Ah-ah… this is getting interesting. I never thought he would last this long.

________Luna:   What what? *curious*

________Suzy:   They said that it takes forty-eight days to change or make something a habit. Zelo’s been working for over forty-eight days.

________Luna:   Un un… Jongup is following after Zelo. Although he’s clumsier, he’s very nice.

________Suzy:   Don’t brag, I’m not interested. *turns head away*

________Luna:   I’m not bragging… *blush*

                                                -At the back of the restaurant, storage room-

__________IU:   *puts down box* Phew… I really need to work out, just one box and I’m already tired. *picks up box again*

________Zelo:    *appears* *serious voice* What are you doing?

__________IU:   EEK *drops box*

________Zelo:    *runs over* ARE YOU OKAY?

__________IU:   Wah you scared me!

________Zelo:    S-Sorry, gwayn-chan-ah? *Twirls IU to check*

__________IU:   Ya! *laughs* Stop that haha… I’m fine. You only scared me and I dropped the box.

________Zelo:    *sigh* Thanks goodness…

__________IU:   Go back to work I’m fine. *picks up box*

________Zelo:    *grabs box with IU*

__________IU:   Nwah… I can
