They decided to give Eunji a break for a while. She went out of the backdoor and headed to the garden. The garden was not so big, with some homegrown herbs and vegetables planted and some other flowers. There was also a gate there that leads to the road. Eunji sat on a bench near the flowers and sighed.
"Why am I so stupid?" She said to herself and wiped her tears
"Don't say that" Eunji looked up and saw Junmyeon in front of her "You're not stupid, just a bit clumsy. And don't worry; it's an accident it already happened before. Smile okay" he comforted her
"Yeah, thank Junmyeon-shi" she nodded and smiled,
"Oh about that, just call me Junmyeon oppa, since you're calling Chorong unni"
"Okay" Eunji smiled again. Suddenly Chorong came.
"Hey Eunji, are you alright now?" she asked and rushed beside Eunji
"I'm fine unni" She assured
"Well, don't worry about it okay. Just don't mind Baekhyun, I don't know what's with him, maybe just in a bad mood" Chorong said
"Hey, why don't you let Eunji help in the kitchen?" Junmyeon suggested
"But I don't know how to cook"
"It's okay Eunji, you can be my assistant for a while, and you can learn by it and I will teach you too so don't worry. For now, we'll focus on cooking and later I'll teach you to bake" Chorong beamed
"Okay, thank you unni" Eunji said
"Let's go?"
"Okay"
Eunji and Chorong already went inside the café but Chorong turned her head to Junmyeon and mouthed a thank you to him before they completely entered. The two girls went to the kitchen and saw Kyungsoo busy making the soup. Eunji was bit relieved, this was not really hard, all she would do was to give Chorong what she needed, watch and remember it. But her eyes went wide open when she saw a fish on the table
"Omo, what's that?" she asked and pointed to it
"A fish?" Kyungsoo answered with the it's-obvious-duh face
"It...it's dead?" Eunji asked, horrified by the sight
"Of course it is, how can we cook it if it's alive?" Kungsoo looked at her weirdly
"Cook? What? Cook the fish..." she said and then lowered her voice "cooking is associated with eating, humans eat fish. Omo I forgot that" she mumbled to herself
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Don't you pity them? They have lives too" She said and turned to the other side and saw a bunch of crabs on a big bowl. She was too horrified with the scene; other kinds of fishes are there too. Since the café restaurant is located at a beach, the main dishes are seafood and Eunji didn't prepare herself to see her friends there, dead and waiting to be cook and to be stuffed inside humans' tummy. She was so shocked that she stepped back without looking and bumped into Sehun, who just entered the kitchen carrying a bowl of clams soaked in water. The contents of the bowl spilled all over Sehun and on the floor and Sehun sat on the floor.
"Omo!" Chorong gasped and Kyungsoo looked at Eunji thinking 'not again'
"Omo I'm sorry" Eunji repeated again and again and bowed nonstop to Sehun
Sehun just nodded at her but he's a little bit annoyed inside. He was now all wet and smells fishy. There were a lot of cleaning to do and also his butt hurt over the fall.
"What happened here?" Baekhyun rushed over as he heard the noise. No one answered him at first and just stared at him. Then Eunji faced him and bowed
