Although the opening day wasn't anything special, Akerian bought Kaia a gift for the shop. A fortune cat for good luck. And as promised Akerian was Kaia's first customer. He bought some cream buns and left as he has work.

Since it was the first day and not many people knew that there's a bakery shop here it was tough to sell. But as time went on curious customer began coming in. And when afternoon came Kaia had start baking fresh food again. This time he made milk biscuits and cookies and cupcakes. He spent his lunch break preparing the ingredients and cooking never leaving the kitchen.

His shop was small, just a few square metres with two rooms and one of them was the kitchen. Compared to the actual shop, the kitchen was bigger so that's good. There wasn't any sitting place for the customers as it's not a cafe but the inside was warm and the smell of freshly baked products filled the air.

There were more customers as the evening time came as it's the time for students and office workers to get home. Those who passed by the shop earlier came in when they came back as it was a long day of work.

********
Akerian who was in his office ate the cream buns that he bought. He finished it all in just a few minutes. He was humming from time to time and this was unusual for him. His assistant was confused seeing him all happily doing his work. The boss she knows would complain that she gave him too much work.

The door suddenly opened when Akerian who just finished eating looked up to see a flashy guy walking in. He was wearing sunglasses inside and a stylish hair. His face was handsome and was loved by all. As if it's natural he walked in and sat on the sofa laid out in the office.

Akerian's office was big. He was a CEO of a major entertainment company after all. Sat on the highest floor of this building, he was a man with power.

A - Well you came back early.

The man took off his sunglasses, with Hazel eyes and long lashes, he turned towards Akerian's assistant and said, "Mona dear how have you been?"

Mona, Akerian's assistant looked at the man with disgust.

A - Stop hitting on my assistant, Ryu.

The guy named Ryu was non other than Ryu Gojin, the most popular solo artist right now. He's Akerian's long time friend and was under this company. He had been on a world wide tour and recently just came back.

Everyone knows his name. He has been known for writing good lyrics and producing award winning songs and music. He was one of those top celebrities among celebrities.

Ryu - Stingy as always.

Ryu was known for his flirting behaviour in the entertainment circle. Men or women it doesn't matter he would flirt with anyone and sleep with them. However for a long time now his charms never worked on Mona. Plus he doesn't seem to get the hint that Mona disgust him.

Mona - Sir I'll be back with tea for you. I've kept the documents infront of you. I'll leave for now.

She said without even a single glance at this major celebrity.

Akerian eyeing Ryu smiled at Mona and said, " Okay take all the time you need."

With that Ryu and Akerian was left in the office.

A - So? What's up?

Ryu - My new song is ready and i finished recording it.

A - what's that got to do with me? As far as I remember you never let me or other people handle anything.

Ryu - Well I need help with the MV. I want some actors.

Although Ryu was a famous artist he rarely puts out any music videos. Call him old fashioned but most of his songs came in albums, to quote him he said, "I put out my songs and music meant for your ears to feel my emotions not from your eyes." . There was huge controversy regarding this one quote from him but at the end of the day it's just someone's opinion.

This time however he wanted to try something new. So he wanted actors in his MV. He won't be in it itself so he came here for help. He doesn't really know many actors because he just hangs around in his studio most of the time and doesn't really interact with the people in the company. And when he does comes out it's mostly to just drink, party and screw.

A - wow you're finally keeping up with our time. I'm proud of my friend.

Akerian faked a tear. Ryu just rolled his eyes.

Ryu - So.... When does Mona get off work?

A - For the last time leave my assistant alone. She's my best assistant so far I don't wanna lose her.

Ryu - Aki you don't know but when a man falls in love he just gotta flirt.

Aki was a nickname that many of Akerian's close friend called him.

A - ..... Not sure that's true but.... You love her?

Ryu was shocked at how his friend didn't know that he's got a thing for his assistant.

Ryu - !!! You only now know!?

A - i mean.... I saw you sleeping with multiple people at a single time. It's hard to trust you man.

Ryu - that hurts.

A - *sigh whatever I'll see what I can do. Just stop pestering Mona.

Ryu - ...... Can't promise sorry.
