"Morning guys," I said stepping into the bakery and taking off my coat and setting it on the hanger nearby. "Hey Hwayoung, is Daeun coming in today? We'll need all the help we can get since there is an idol group that will be coming to use our cafe as a set today." Jake told me while hanging up a bunch of logos in the shop. "Really? That explains all the decorations. Daeun will be coming don't worry." I said and Jay chuckled, "Yeah. We need to organise who's going to teach the idols what though because I don't think they'll have much experience. Jake will be interviewing them too so the 7 of us will need to split into groups to teach them."

Daeun arrived at the cafe 10 minutes after I had and once we had explained everything to her we started making the groups. "Alright," Jake started, "I'll put you guys in two groups of 3 and one group of 4. We can have Jay, Daeun and Sunghoon for drinks. Sunoo and Jungwon on sanwiches/salads and Heeseung and Hwayoung on desserts. I'll help the idols with waitressing."

After we had organised our groups, we noticed a few black vans pull up outside. It was still quite early in the morning so there weren't many people to see the idols coming out from the van but once they stepped into the cafe we started greeting them and they excitedly greeted us back. "Hello I'm the Director, thank you Jake for letting us film at your cafe. It's a wonderful place and you've done a stunning job decorating it."

"It's no problem don't worry. I have my workers here to help you in different sections so don't worry too much." Jake said a smile beaming off of his face. "Okay then, we'll start filming in 10 minutes, get ready guys." The director called and the boys, Daeun and I all went back behind the counter and to our stations.

"Hello, I'm Hwayoung and this is Heeseung. We'll be teaching you guys how to make two desserts for the Fimmies Cafe." I said and the girls, Chaewon and Eunchae let out a small cheer. "So today we'll be making croffles and kaya jam toast. We'll start off with the croffles as it's quicker and easier and then we'll teach you how to make kaya jam toast." Heeseung said and the girls excitedly clapped their hands. "This will be fun." Chaewon cheered and I chuckled at her cuteness.

Heeseung and I started explaining to the girls how to make the croffles and how to decorate it properly. "You can create your own special croffle to add to the menu for today if you'd like. There's a bunch of toppings so you can decide what you'd like." Heeseung said and I handed the girls the toppings for them to decorate their croffles with. "Be careful." Heeseung whispered in Chaewons ear as he caught her hand before it touched the hot waffle machine beside her.

I noticed the two blushing ever so slightly. I can tell that Heeseung is slightly interested in her. "Alright, if you're done decorating you can try your croffles." I said and the two girls excitedly dug into each of their croffles. "This is really good." Chaewon commented and Eunchae nodded her head agreeing. "I think Eunchae's croffle is the best one to put on our menu." Chaewon said and Eunchae excitedly picked up her plate like it was a trophy while we all cheered for her. "What would you like it to be called?" Heeseung asked. "Chaeroffle, a mix of Eunchae and Croffle."

We then taught the girls how to make kaya jam toast. Which went pretty smooth and they understood quite well. After the full 30 minutes of teaching the girls we went to meet the others at the main area and let the girls continue filming. "If you guys need help at anytime you can just call me or Heeseung and we'll help out." I assured the girls and they thanked us.

"Geez, why is he smiling so much, it's not that funny." Daeun mumbled under breath as Jake was watching Sunoo and Jungwon teach Yunjin how to make the sandwhiches. "Okay, so first you need to cut off the crust of the bread." Jungwon instructed and Yunjin followed while Sunoo prepared the spreads. Jake was just watching them with a big bright smile on his face and for some weird reason I felt, jealous?

"Daeun, could you explain the next part to them." Sunghoon asked giving me a 'you need to listen, engage and focus' type of look. "Yes, so for this last part you need to add your lemon slice and rosemary into the drink, and then it's done." I showed them the end result and handed them the drink to try.

I looked back towards where Jake was and he was now having a conversation with Yunjin. I couldn't make up much of what they were saying but the two were smiling and laughing with eachother while eating the sandwhich Yunjin had just made. I then noticed Jake turn his focus over to me, he stared straight at me for a few seconds before smiling and turning back to face Yunjin.

"Alright guys, it's time to open up the cafe officially. So for today, the Fimmies cafe is now open." Jake cheered and so did the girls as he opened the doors to the cafe. We were all at our stations just incase the girls would need us. According to the director, there will be a few actual customers, so I was excited to see if any of our actual regular customers would walk through the door.

After 10 minutes there were already two customers and the girls were doing a pretty good job at making the food and drinks and serving them. "Eonni, do you think this is okay? Is it alright if I call you eonni, by the way?" Chaewon said and I was a bit suprised at the nickname but it was cute. "Of course you can, and the croffle looks amazing." I said my gummy smile slightly peeking through.

I turned to see who had entered the cafe next and my jaw dropped seeing the person that came through. It was Doom. He was wearing his usual dark and miserable clothing which didn't suprise me. He noticed me looking at him and waved with not one hint of suprise on his face. "Eonni do you know him?" Chaewon asked and I quickly shook my head.

"No. He must be mistaken or something." I said and quickly hurried off but then he called my name. "Hwayoung!" He shouted and everyone turned to look at me. Of course it was strange that some random, young, rich guy was calling my name in the cafe I work in. I quickly rushed towards Doom and dragged him to the side, I could see that the director was slightly pissed by him interrupting the show but he just moved on.

"What are you doing here?" I was unconsiously gripping onto his wrist tightly. He looked down at my wrist and I quickly realized what I was doing and let go.

"I was bored, so I thought I might have some fun." He smirked gazing down at me.
