SUNWOO's first day would be next week, once the café was already opened.

Soon enough, that first day finally rolled around. After texting Eric back to end their ongoing ridiculous banter, Sunwoo found himself at the front of the now finished café. It was his first time visiting since it opened, and he smiled, seeing the once bare room turn into something so aesthetically pleasing and calming. Haknyeon had definitely made this place his.

"Sunwoo!" a voice called out, causing the boy to turn towards the counter.

Haknyeon told one of the cashier's a few things before letting his friend through the small barrier. He would lead Sunwoo to the back room to explain what he needed to do, before finally pulling out the costume.

Sunwoo couldn't help but laugh. Whether it was bitter or amusement, he couldn't really tell, himself. It was indeed very cute, (something Haknyeon clearly picked out) though it seemed extremely big and thick for the weather.

Either way, he sucked it up. After all, he was getting paid good money for this. So, Haknyeon finally left his friend to change into the costume.

When Sunwoo walked out in full costume, Haknyeon's eyes couldn't help but gleam. "Wow, Haru is so beautiful!" he exclaimed, happily admiring the costume. "Now get out there Sunwoo! If you need anything- water, snacks, time to cool off, don't hesitate to come back inside."

Sunwoo simply gave his friend a thumbs up before confidently strolling outside with the flyers in his hands. It wasn't long until he got the attention of those passing by, who were quick to let out small laughs and awe's at the cute mascot.

Luckily, today wasn't the hottest it's been all week, so it wasn't like Sunwoo was gonna pass out. However, he was DEFINITELY sweating. Haknyeon would always come out every hour, asking if his friend needed anything, and of course let him take a nice thirty minute break every once and a while before sending him back outside. Sunwoo wasn't complaining with any of these conditions and just merrily handed his fliers out, or even took pictures with people who found the mascot as cute as Haknyeon did.

"Oh? That's so cute, I bet this was Hak's idea, huh?" a female voice spoke, causing Sunwoo to turn to the side after he bowed to the customer he had just given a flyer to. "Yep, this is definitely something Hak would pick out." The girl giggled before approaching in front of the mascot.

Sunwoo had watched the girl walk over to him. She was gorgeous, definitely his type, but there was no way he'd dare try making moves on her whilst being dressed up in this pig costume.

Sunwoo simply gave a nod, making sure that she knew that he acknowledged her comment. "Whatcha handing out?" she asked, nudging her head towards the flyers in Sunwoo's hooves.

Quickly, he handed her the flyer for one free muffin with hot drink. "Sick! Well, I'll see you later then Piggy." she winked, gesturing a quick goodbye to the boy with her free hand.

Sunwoo felt his shoulders drop once he watched the girl walk into the café. He hadn't noticed just how tensed up he was during that whole thing; being in front of some pretty girl, dressed and sweating his balls off in a silly pig costume.

For the next few weeks that Sunwoo's been working at the cafe as a mascot, he's seen and met a lot of the usual costumers while also doing a great job at gathering new costumers every day. With this, he's also gained new nicknames, especially with the little kids that come by. However, nothing would ever top "Piggy" for him, since it was something that kept reminding him of every-time she would stop by.

She'd have small conversations whilst Sunwoo listened, nodding and all, before saying goodbye and going inside the café. Eventually, Sunwoo would
end up learning her name, Y/N, upon some strategized conversations with Haknyeon

(even though the Jeju boy caught on and teased his friend relentlessly whenever he could).
