Chapter 7 - Ramyun Over Pork Chops

Sehun puts the last of the dishes on the dish rack, taking off the rubber gloves after spending a good hour washing them off. "You took an hour just to wash plates?" Jongin muttered, arms folded on his chest as he leans on the wall. "And cups, mugs and tea pots," Sehun huffed, proudly staring at the spotless dishes. "You do know that you still have to clean the bowls and spatulas that Ji Eun used to cook, right?" Sehun froze, craning his head to see the kitchen utensils all over the stove and counters. Sighing, Sehun started to collect the dirty mixing bowls for a start. "You know what, I'll be going home first," Jongin put his jacket over his shoulders. "What? You can't leave me," Sehun whipped his head to the tanned skin male. "Sorry, Sehun. I'm leaving with Suho and Baekhyun hyung. Kyungsoo said he'll be cooking pork chops, and I ain't missing this opportunity," Jongin grinned before skipping out of the kitchen. "Hey! I want to eat some!" Sehun yelled, taking the rubber gloves off him. "No can do, Sehun," Jongin popped back in. "Be a good kid and do your duty like a responsible child," he smirked. "Screw  my duties, I--"

"Ji Eun must be disappointed to have accepted a you... She trusted you so much. Well, I guess I'll just have to tell her," Jongin turned around and opened his mouth to Sehun's horror. "Fine! I'll clean," Sehun exclaimed, sighing when he saw Jongin's smirk. "We'll wait for you, just hurry,"

"Here's for Eun Ji... Here's for Suho... And here's for Baekhyun," Ji Eun handed out envelopes to the said names, Baekhyun's eyes wide from how unexpectedly thick the envelope was. "I love pay day," Baekhyun exclaimed to himself before peeking at the amount of money he earned this month. Baekhyun squeals in joy, surprising everyone, "Thank you, Ji Eun!!!" he lunged at her for a hug, earning hisses from Eun Ji and Suho. Ji Eun chuckled, "Y-you're welcome," she awkwardly patted his back. "Should I buy you something, hm? Something sweet? Dinner maybe?" Baekhyun wiggled his eyebrows, and Ji Eun could only be stunned at Baekhyun's quick decision to spend his money as soon as he got it in his hands. "Get off her, squirt," Eun Ji pulled on his hair, and Baekhyun walked backwards, away from Ji Eun with incoherent words of pain. "Where's Sehun and Jongin?" Ji Eun looked around the cafe and saw spotted Jongin walking towards them. "Jongin!" she brightened up when she saw him and approached him. "Here," Jongin accepted the envelope, grinning. "I almost forgot that today's pay day," he chuckled before thanking her. "Sehun's inside," he pointed  back at the kitchen. "Okay," she nodded and walked inside the kitchen.

It's been two months since their first day, and they've been doing excellent jobs at work. They've renovated the cafe, placing more tables and expanding their menu, and they've earned lots of customers. Things were going so well, Ji Eun withdrew the thought of renting her rooms for now. Jongin and Sehun often visits schools and campuses and hand out flyers, they've been skilled to charm any female students in there. This was Suho's idea, by the way. He knew how girls drool over them. Cutie pie Baekhyun is the bonus point that female customers earned when they come. When they thought they'd be able to see stuningly gorgeous men such as Jongin and Sehun, they saw cute and vibrant Baekhyun, sweetly greeting them with his bright smile. Suho was also useful, his cold charisma attracted many of the customers. Eun Ji didn't lose, having lots of male customers coming in to see her wait for them, or sing to entertain the customers when things go slow in the kitchen. Baekhyun would usually join along in the singing phase, but it's not recommended to let him sing, for Baekhyun will let things go to kareoke nights, not wanting to stop and eventually make the customers uncomfortable with his overly excited-passionate singing that often goes off tune due to his comical side. Ji Eun is often hidden inside the kitchen, but everytime she comes out, male customers would stare at her, therefore the boys would keep her busy in the kitchen to avoid any situations like these:

One afternoon, Ji Eun was greeting the customers in her cafe. A tall male, Choi Min Ho by name, approached her and handed her a bouquet of roses.

"I like you, will you be my girlfriend?" 

Ji Eun was in complete shock, stunned from such a question. Before she could react, body guard 1 and 2- Meaning Kim Jongin and Oh Sehun showed up. "Hello there, sir," Jongin greeted him with a poker face, much like Sehun's cold one. "Our boss is allergic to roses," Jongin mentions as Sehun snatched the rose away, threw them on the ground and stepped on it. Ji Eun stared at the torn roses with wide eyes, speechless. "Hey, there's no need to go as far as stepping on the roses," Eun Ji walked to them, trying not to sound too loud. Min Ho eyes Sehun annoyingly. "Sorry, I thought I saw a bee," Sehun said flatly, clearly showing his dislike towards the man. "I-I'm not aller--" Ji Eun was about to speak until body guard 3, Suho, stepped in and closed , pulling her out of the scene silently. Min Ho was about to catch her, until Jongin and Sehun closed the path, arms folded against the chest. "Is there anything you need, sir? A cup of tea maybe?" Sehun distracted him. "What- No, get away--" Min Ho tried to push them away, and he did, only to see body guard 4, Byun Baekhyun, looking up at him with another poker face. 

"My, my, good sir. Are you having trouble finding the exit?" Baekhyun faked a gasp. "Poor thing, let me guide you," Baekhyu grinned, pulling Min Ho to the door. Sehun and Jongin smirked at Baekhyun's sarcastic act. "What are you doing?!" Min Ho slapped Baekhyun's hands off him once they were outside. Baekhyun snapped, face now cold. "Listen here, you piece of trash. Our lovely Ji Eun doesn't need a guy like you. I won't let you rot her ears off with your cheap hits at her. Giving her flowers and then confess AND ask her out?" Baekhyun huffed. "Over my dead body. You'll have to at least bring a dozen block of gold to offer to be worthy enough to get her. Now you better leave before I take my scissors and cut your nose open! And don't you even think about saying bad things about our cafe, I know people who can turn your life upside down and make sure you won't have a future down there," he glanced at Min Ho's private spot, earning a scowl from Min Ho. "So, if you still want to keep your manhood and that freaking perfectly carved nose of yours, you better leave! Now, scram!" Baekhyun barked, thrashing his arms around to scare the tall male, and so Min Ho ran away from the cafe and was never seen for good. "Yeah, that's right! Run away!" Baekhyun yelled. Nothing Byun Baekhyun can't do. "Byun Baekhyun," the said boy turned around to see Eun Ji glaring at him. "Inside, now," she pointed inside the cafe. Baekhyun whipped his bangs, not ashamed of his eye-catching acts, before turning on his heels and strut inside the cafe proudly. Until Eun Ji's foot landed on his and made him fall down.

Hence, Eun Ji had been keeping an eye for an over protective-hyperactive Baekhyun ever since. It was hard for her to attract male customers if they knew about Baekhyun threatning male customers by castrating them. No, no, that won't be good. 

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Sehun had be brawling with the oven trays, scrubbing with all his might. "Sehun," the latter jumped when he heard Ji Eun's soft voice beside him. "Ji Eun," Sehun blushed all of the sudden. "Hi," he glanced at her, scrubbing the trays again, smiling now. Ji Eun glanced at the mountain of dirty utensils he has to clean. Ji Eun rubbed the back of his neck, "Are you used to cleaning?" she asked him, seeing that he's moving slow. Sehun gulped, recapturing his days at the house in which he does nothing but eat, sleep and play video games there. When he's given a chore, he'll make up an excuse, and say that he has a job to do and get the hell out of the house. "I'm used to it," he lied, shrugging as if it's nothing. Ji Eun nodded, making an O on her lips, "You must be tired then..." she figured, thinking that it's the reason why he's so slow. Sehun forced a smile, throwing his face away from the shame.

Never had Sehun felt so lame for not being able to do chores. It's sad, really. 

"I'll do it then," she was about to help out until Sehun stopper her abruptly, "No," he shook his head. If he ever lets her wash a huge amount of pointy trays like these, Suho might kill him for letting a clutz like her wash them. "B-but I can help," Ji Eun tried to grab the sponge but Sehun shook his head and turned his body from her. "It's okay really, I'll do it!" she almost whined, reaching out her hands until she saw his almost glaring eyes, "No, Ji Eun," he said sternly. Ji Eun took a step back, nodding a bit gloomily due to the stern rejection. "I'll... I'll just put this here then," she rubbed the back of her neck, showing him his salary and placed it on the dining table. When Ji Eun exited the kitchen, Sehun lets out a sigh. "Real smooth, kid," Sehun flinched when he heard Baekhyun's playful tone, the small raven haired boy grinning at him as he leaned himself on the counter. "I'm used to it," Baekhyun copied him with a stupid look on his face, before smirking at the stiff male, "You wouldn't even dust off your shoulders, Sehun,"

"Shut up," Sehun muttered, continuing his chores. Baekhyun chuckled mischivously, jumping on the counter and sat on it. "You were also so mean... She must've thought you were glaring, while that's just how your eyes are," Baekhyun said flatly. "Hmm... Tell you what, we ditch you, like right now, and give you some time with Ji Eun?" Baekhyun snapped his fingers. Sehun whipped his head to his friend, "You'd do that?" he asked. "Of course~ But, with a catch," Baekhyun grinned maliciously. Of course, this boy just wouldn't give something for free. "What?" Sehun lifted a brow. "You be my personal slave for the whole week, starting Monday," Baekhyun said in a low tone, eyes with a glint of mischief and a smirk that decorates his face with evil.. Sehun frowns deeply. Would he go through hard labor for a chance to have alone time with Ji Eun?

"Deal," sure, he would. It's not the first time for him to agree to be the latter's personal assistant anyway.

"Great then! I look forward to your service, Sehun," Baekhyun jumped off the counter and elbowed the latter playfully. "Could you guy at least leave me some pork chops? I'm the one who requested it from Kyungsoo hyung," Sehun whined. "Beggars can't be choosers," Baekhyun winked before prancing out of the kitchen. 

"Suho, am I a bother?" Ji Eun asked sadly at Suho. The said boy choked on his drink, a hand on his mouth, "W-what?" he frowned. "I think Sehun got upset with me
