Tuesday arrives, and Minho wakes up early to the sound of his three cats playfully meowing, eager for his attention. He smiles as he tends to their needs, making sure they have enough food and water for the day. After giving them some love and affection, he moves on to cleaning his cozy little apartment, tidying up the scattered toys and cushions.

He then prepares himself for work, carefully choosing his outfit for the day. He settles on a casual yet presentable look, opting for a comfortable sweater and jeans, perfect for the busy day ahead. Before leaving, he leaves a few treats for his cats to keep them entertained while he's away.

As he steps out into the early morning sunlight, he takes a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the cool breeze on his face. The city is just waking up, and the streets are relatively quiet, with only a few early risers passing by. Minho enjoys the peaceful walk to the café, savoring these moments of tranquility before the bustling day begins.

Arriving at the café at 9:46 am, Minho is greeted by a drowsy Hyein wiping down the countertops. He changes into his uniform and heads to the back with his belongings.

Things were becoming calmer for him, as the person who was trying to contact him had stopped, with only a few calls now and then. Minho ignored them, confident that nothing untoward would happen.

"Minho, I didn't know you were so famous," Hyein comments, her eyes widening with surprise as she plays with a small kitten in the café.

Minho shrugs modestly, trying to downplay his fame, "I'm not really."

Hyein shakes her head in disbelief, "Yes, you are! You have over seven million Instagram followers. I found out last night when I saw 3racha's new promotional video. Your friends must adore you," she exclaims, impressed by his social media presence.

A soft smile appears on Minho's face as he responds, "Ah, I guess they do... you like 3racha?"

Hyein's eyes light up, her excitement evident, "I love them! My bias is Changbin; he's so cool!" She can't help but share her enthusiasm about her favorite group with Minho.

Minho joins her in the cubicle, feeling a sense of camaraderie, "He's even funnier off-camera."

"You've met him?!" Hyein's excitement grows, eager to hear more about his experiences.

"Of course, Hyein. How else do you think I got hired to choreograph the promotional dance?" Minho chuckles, reminiscing about the time he spent with 3racha.

Hyein nods excitedly, "That makes sense. You're so lucky!" she pouts, wishing she had the chance to meet her favorite idols too.

Minho can't help but find Hyein's enthusiasm endearing, "Don't feel down. I'm sure you'll get a chance to meet them someday. They're really nice guys."

The bell rings, interrupting their conversation, and both individuals turn to see who entered.

Hyein smiles widely, "Naeun!"

She runs over to the tall ravenette with a beaming expression. Naeun reciprocates the look, her cheeks turning a deep shade of pink. "Hi, Hyein!"

Minho watches from a distance, analyzing the girl who appears to be a little older than Hyein, around nineteen at best. He notices the way Naeun carries herself with a mix of confidence and shyness, her eyes darting around the café as if trying to take in everything at once. There's a certain charm to her, and Minho can't help but be curious about her background and how she came to be friends with Hyein.

"Are you here for your schedule and uniform? I've got everything ready!" Hyein exclaims, taking Naeun's hands and giving them a light squeeze.

Naeun nods, her cheeks tinted with a hint of pink, "Yes, I am. I hope I'm not causing any trouble."
