Chapter 36 – Dog Café (7)
After calling the call bell, about a minute later, an employee came into the room.
“Did you call? The cafe’s opening hours are about 30 minutes, so it’s time to wrap up.”
“Ah, anyway, I called to finish it soon. Could you take care of it soon? Yuna will be in trouble if she goes home in this state.”
“It’s okay to leave it as it is. You don’t have to worry because the rest of the clean-up can be done at the cafe.”
“All right.”
The waitress said as she grabbed the customer leaving the room.
“You have to carry the leash you used today! Take off the choker part and carry only the leash part.”
Yuna’s daily owner patted Yuna’s hair, exchanged brief greetings with her waitress, and left.
‘Where are you going, Master? Are you sure you’re leaving me… Aren’t you?’
Yuna felt a little uneasy about her master’s expression as she left, so when her master opened the door to her room and left, she put on a sad expression and began to cry.
Seeing this, the employee started shouting at Yuna with a disgusted look on her face.
“Stop it! Master has gone home now that it’s time to go home. Now you should prepare to go home too!
Ahhh… Every time a bitch like this is around, things get tougher…”
The waitress, who managed to calm her down by stroking Yuna, put a handkerchief with something on her face on her face and let her smell the handkerchief.
“You’ll be fine after a little sleep. Don’t worry too much and get a good night’s sleep.”
Smelling her, Yuna was a bit dazed, and soon after, she passed out.

“Guests! You have to get up now! Closing time is just around the corner.”
Yuna, who had fallen asleep in the cafe’s bedroom, fell asleep on a table in the cafe, and then woke up.
“Uh… Head, I’m sorry. I think I fell asleep..”
‘I was sleeping until dark…Are you a little tired today? Well, it’s not easy to play with a puppy.’
As proof that Yuna fell asleep on her stomach, her table was covered with Yuna’s saliva.
“The table got all drool on it while I was sleeping… I’ll wipe it up.”
Yuna took her handkerchief from her bag and started wiping her table. Yuna, who was wiping the table, accidentally spilled Americano on the table she was sitting on.
“Aw… I’m sorry. I tried to take care of it myself and ended up adding more work… Could you give me a tissue to wipe up the spill?”
“It’s okay if you ask me, an employee, to do it… I’ll do it. It’s okay if you sit still.”
“Oh, no! I have to deal with the liquid I spilled. I tend to clean up after spills like this, so I’m used to it. Just bring me a tissue and I’ll take care of it!”
Yuna got a tissue from her waiter and started wiping down the tables at her cafe.
‘Hmm? Did I order Americano? I don’t like americano… Is it right that I ordered it? I can’t remember..’
When she smelled the Americano in the cup, Yuna began to feel a little uncomfortable, so she called the waiter and asked a question.
“Hey… Did I order an Americano? I can’t remember, but…”
“Ah, it seems that the delivery was wrong. It must be my mistake. I’m sorry. If you want, can I change it to another drink? You don’t have to worry about the price. I’ll give you the drink you want.”
“Oh, no! I poured it out like this, but getting it for free isn’t too bad. I’ll order a new one!”
Yuna wiped away the drool and Americano she had just spilled while she was asleep, and she began to reflect on what had happened today.
‘My memory is a bit ambiguous… I’m sure you’re acting strangely because you’re hypnotized, right? Haven’t you already done that?
I have to think about what happened once I entered the cafe. She left her luggage and got a choker. What did you do next? Did you choose a puppy you need to play with today inside the cafe, played with it for a while in the room, and then went for a walk? After she came back from a walk, it seems she was running around in the room with her dog. I think he fell asleep while drinking at the next table. My memory is roughly correct. Did I worry for nothing? Because of the game settings, even trivial things make me anxious. It seems like I’ve become too worried lately.’
Yuna accepted, believing that she had memories that fit well together, and she relieved her worries that she was doing.
“Then, I’ll lightly eat a milk latte! It seems like it’s gotten darker too… I’ll just have one cup of this and go.”
A few minutes after ordering, a freshly hot milk latte was placed in front of Yuna.
“Here’s a milk latte! Enjoy it!”
Yuna slowly started drinking the milk latte from her cup.
‘Is it better than I thought? It feels like there is a little less milk in it, but it seems like high-quality milk is added instead. Like the smell of coffee, it also smells like chestnut flowers. Do you think this will be as popular as the milk latte I made when I was working part-time at a maid cafe? Aside from being a dog cafe, it seems like a cafe with a competitive edge in its beverages.’
After Yuna savored and drank her milk latte, she burped lightly.
Surprised, Yuna looked around her to see if anyone had noticed, but she didn’t see anyone who seemed to notice Yuna’s mistake.
‘Oh… I’m a bit ashamed to make such a mistake in a public place like this. I’m glad no one has seen it. I need to pay quickly and go home.’
Yuna took her belongings from her locker when she entered the cafe, and went to the entrance of the cafe to make her payment.
“Excluding the price of the drink I paid for at the beginning, I calculated the price incorrectly, and the price of the milk latte alone is 7,000 won in total. Would you like to pay with a credit card?”
“Um… I’ll do it in cash! I open my wallet and there’s just that much cash. I think it’s more convenient to pay in cash.”
After Yuna paid her bill, she left the cafe’s entrance.
“Goodbye~ Please visit us next time!”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
‘As Yeji said, it’s a good cafe. That’s because it’s a bit hard to find. Will Yeji be able to finish his work in this amount of time? I think the last part-time job ended around this time. I’ll have to try calling. It’s scary because the road is a bit dark, so it’ll be all right if I go on the phone, right?’
As she walked towards her house, Yuna called Yeji, whom she had called even when she entered the cafe.
“Hello~ Yeji, did you finish your work?”
“Uh~ I think it was comfortable because there were few customers today. This job requires a lot of body and emotional consumption. It’s good that there are fewer people coming because it’s definitely more comfortable. The boss may be a little sad because sales are low. How did you feel? Did you like what I said?”
“Uh, I just called to tell you about that. It’s a nice cafe. It was fun to play with the dog. The drinks were okay, too? The price is reasonable, so I think it’s okay to come and play with the dog when you want to play.”
“That’s why I recommended it. Right, what kind of drink did you order? Come to think of it, the milk latte was delicious, but I forgot to recommend it to you.”
“Uh, I ordered a milk latte too. Do the two of us have similar taste in drinks? I’m a bit surprised. You don’t drink milk latte, do you? You work part-time at a cafe, so you probably make it often.”
“Yeah, I didn’t mean to order it from the beginning, but I drank it because the waitress recommended it. It’s a bit different from the milk latte I made and sold at the cafe, but it was delicious. It was said to be a favorite of female customers, so I tried it. Anyway, you too I’m glad you had a good drink.”
“If it was a cafe you recommended, but it wasn’t great, would you have been angry?
“I go to a lot of places on my days off, so I know where to go to play.
“Well, since you go around a lot. It’s okay next time, so please recommend it!”
“Hee hee… Okay! Then see you at the gym in a few days. If we meet again then, are we going to work out together?”
“Okay. Let’s see who works out longer? I’m going to win this time.”
“Okay~ Then let’s stop? It’s because there’s a place I need to stop by on the way back home.”
“Where are you going after work? Aren’t you tired? Why don’t you take care of your health?”
“I told you there were few customers today. I was going to go to a restaurant far away. I’ll just eat, so what’s the point of getting tired?”
“That’s enough to not have to worry about anything. I thought I was doing something else. I’m going to eat in the first place, so why worry?”
“That’s right. Anyway, thank you for worrying! Then I’ll really hang up!”
Yeji said that and hung up the phone. Yuna hung up the phone and walked away talking to herself.
“He wanders around a lot… To the point of envying his energy. Aren’t you tired?”
She arrived home soon after, and Yuna entered her password and opened her door lock to enter the house.
