Months have passed and the school year was almost over. The thirteen boys were closer than ever, and all their relationships were going well. Right now, they're in their class waiting for the principal to come. Earlier that morning the principal called them to the class saying that he needs to talk to them about something important, the boys were nervous and confused as to why he would call so out of the blue but still, they went and waited for him. Snapping all of them out of their thoughts, the principal walked inside the class and their homeroom teacher following closely behind "Good morning boys. I'll cut this short and tell you what I wanted you to come here for. I want to give a final test on your teamwork" the boys at him confused and the teacher seemed to notice "This test will determine whether or not you will graduate or not. It won't be a normal test, it's sort of a small project but it will test your teamwork. If you don't have good teamwork, all of you will fail this hear and repeat the year. If you do have good teamwork, then all of you will officially graduate school" she ended with a smile and all the boys' jaws dropped. Seungcheol raised his hand and asked "What exactly is the test?" the principal smirked and answered, "You will have to run a family's small cafe and help them gain customers and better sales for a week, and you will be in charge Mr.Choi"

And just like that, the boys found themselves standing inside the cafe's kitchen panicking and not knowing what to do. Seungcheol took a deep breath and clapped his hands to catch everyone's attention "Everyone calm down. We will do this, okay? Me and Hannie have some experience from the cafe we worked at so we can be the ones to work in the kitchen along with Mingyu and Minghao. Jun will be working at the cashier, and the rest of you will be waiters outside and help us at the same time." Hearing Seungcheol's plan, the boys calmed down and thanked God for giving them such an amazing leader. They all went to their places and waited for some customers to come. They waited...and waited...and waited, nothing.
"This won't work without any customers" Jisoo sighed and ran his hand through his hair in frustration, "I think we should advertise! We can make posters and then go to the street and give them to people!" Jihoon looked at his boyfriend and shook his head "Soons, that only works in movies. I think we should something like an Instagram page maybe?" Junhui's face lit up at the idea and he stood up "Yes we should do that! We can take pictures of the place and the food then post them with many hashtags so it would get popular! Me and Wonwoo can take good pictures and edit them. Minghao can make the page aesthetic so it would look cute!" Jeonghan smiled and put his hand on the Chinese's shoulder "That's an amazing idea Jun, thankyou"

Once the kitchen team was done, they started setting the food for it to look pleasing for a nice picture, Junhui took pictures of the food. Meanwhile, Wonwoo the pictures of the place after they had decorated it. Sooner or later, the Instagram account was now public and all they had to do is wait for customers to come.

The next day, they all went to the cafe determined to get customers, and be successful in their test.

A few hours passed, and the boys were slowly starting to lose hope. Just as Seungkwan was about to start whining, someone walked inside making them all look at the door with big smiles. It was one person that was holding her phone to her face and filming herself. She then stopped recording and looked at Jisoo who was at the door to greet the nonexistent customers, "Hello, can I talk to who's in charge please?" Jisoo looked around and then remembered Seungcheol "Yeah sure. Please sit down here, I'll bring him for you" he led her to a table for two and bowed before leaving to the kitchen where Seungcheol was at "Seungcheol! Come quick, we have a customer and she was to meet the person in charge" without wanting to make the girl wait for too long, they both walked out to her and Jeonghan stood behind the counter to observe what's going to happen. "Hello, I'm Choi Seungcheol, the person in charge" he smiled and shook her hand as she did the same "Sit down please" She motioned him to sit down and he did so. The oldest of the thirteen boys was nervous, his palms were starting to get sweaty and he had to put his hands on top of his legs to stop them from shaking too much, but he still kept a straight posture and a confident voice. "So what was it you needed?" she smiled and opened her phone showing it to Seungcheol. It was an account on Instagram. His eyes widened at the number of followers and likes the person had, and from the account's bio he can that the person wasn't only an Instagram but also someone does both YouTube and Snapchat. "This is my social media account. I'm Jessica Kim, a well-known influencer on this platform. I saw your account and I thought maybe if I get your permission, I can film around and rate some food? It'll help your cafe" Seungcheol's eyes widened at the offer and he immediately agreed "Feel free to look around miss Jessica. We'll get your orders ready" he got up and ran to the kitchen. He grabbed stuff and started making food and drinks "what are you doing? What did she want?" Seungcheol stopped doing things at the sight of his boyfriend and told him everything as everyone gathered around to listen too.

Hours later, the woman left and the videos she filmed were finally released, the boys watched the video where Mingyu was explaining each dish and Seungcheol was explaining each drink, Seungkwan would make jokes from time to time to break the too serious atmosphere in the video. "the videos turned out great" "Yes, definitely" suddenly, three people walk inside the cafe startling the boys "Hello, welcome to Shining Diamond cafe! A table for three?" the girl nodded and Jisoo led them to their table. The day went on like that and more customers came, the cafe worked out well an they were definitely very proud of themselves.
