## Chapter 117 – Cafe Opening And A New Home (3)
Delia’s seduction escalated our actions from pecks to full-blown kisses.
“Haa… umm… Jinhyun-nim.”
I opened my mouth to Delia’s probing tongue, savoring her taste and saliva.
I wished I could spend tens of minutes embracing Delia and kissing her like this, but unfortunately, time was short. We only mingled our tongues for about a minute before pulling apart.
“Have a good day.”
“Yeah. I’ll be back.”
I left the house, leaving Delia waving with a hint of regret.
[The next stop is… The next stop is Ilseo Elementary School.]
Today, I wasn’t just meeting the sisters under the guise of buying lottery tickets for Dajeong.
I always met Dajeong in front of the lottery shop, but today, I was meeting Dajeong and Yujeong noona together at the bus stop in front of Ilseo Elementary School.
Ilseo Elementary School was the closest bus stop to Dajeong and Yujeong noona’s house, as well as the convenience store where Yujeong noona and I used to work.
‘Should I start boosting my stats a bit?’
I was looking at my reflection in the bus window when that thought suddenly occurred to me.
I’ve accumulated quite a few coins. Now, I don’t need to hold back; I can spend them freely.
Let’s invest in the cafe and my stats.
I also need to think about targeting Dajeong and Yujeong noona and tailoring things to their characteristics, but if I target one heroine to C-rank or higher, I automatically get 10,000 coins for reaching 100 affinity and 20,000 coins for reaching C-rank or higher, totaling 30,000 coins.
Moreover, in Dajeong’s case, there’s also a challenge quest, so I’ll get an additional 150,000 coins as soon as I complete her route.
That’s enough coins to upgrade not only Dajeong and Yujeong noona’s traits but also the Black Room.
[The next stop is Ilseo Elementary School. The next stop is…]
I had already reached my destination.
Looking out the window, I saw Dajeong and Yujeong noona already waiting for me.
The two sisters were chatting and laughing together, but as soon as the bus doors opened, their gazes simultaneously focused on me.
Dajeong and Yujeong noona scanned me from head to toe as I got off the bus.
“……”
“Wow.”
Their eyes widened.
A suit, a watch, and dress shoes.
Even my hair was styled by Delia, making it look like I had just come from a salon.
When I appeared in a full set, not only Dajeong but even Yujeong noona stared at me blankly, surprised.
I approached Dajeong and handed her the lottery ticket I had bought in advance.
“Here, the lottery ticket.”
“Hehe. Thank you. But oppa, you look amazing today. Are you wearing a suit?”
“Yeah. Does it suit me?”
“Yes, totally. You look so cool. You look like a different person.”
It felt good to hear that I looked cool from Dajeong.
“What? So you’re saying I didn’t look cool before?”
“Ahaha. It’s not that.”
I was talking to Dajeong when I looked at Yujeong noona.
When our eyes met, her face flushed slightly.
“Noona, how have you been?”
“Yeah, I’ve been good.”
Noona looked me up and down again, then compared herself to me.
“Ugh. Should I go back and change too…? I have something similar to a suit.”
“No, it’s okay. I just wanted to wear it. Your style is also very pretty right now.”
“R-really?”
Yujeong noona looked strangely shy, and Dajeong puffed up her cheeks.
“What about me? Am I not pretty?”
Dajeong was wearing jeans and a slightly loose knit. With her innocent and round face, she looked very cute.
“Of course, Dajeong is also very cute.”
“Aww. Why am I cute and not pretty?”
“What else can I say if you’re cute? Hehe. Let’s go.”
“Ah, oppa.”
Dajeong and I giggled.
Yujeong noona watched us with a strange look, then closed the distance and spoke to me.
“You said there were 13 people coming today, right?”
“16 people. Three more were added in the meantime. I sent out texts to those who applied to come for an interview, but honestly, it’s unlikely they’ll all come. I don’t know how many will show up.”
“Hmm. Do you have resumes?”
“No. I just accepted applications via text to get as many people as possible.”
The cafe was quite close to both the house I was moving to and Dajeong and Yujeong noona’s house.
After a short walk and crossing a crosswalk, we quickly arrived in front of the cafe building.
The cafe was still under renovation. However, it was now taking shape, and it was easy to see how it would look when completed.
“The construction has progressed a lot.”
“It’s more than halfway done. Let’s go to the second floor.”
“Okay.”
The second floor was also still under renovation.
The office also needed more remodeling to connect it to the cafe, but it was still good enough to set up desks and conduct interviews.
“Oh. This is oppa’s office.”
“It’s big, right?”
“Are you going to use all these rooms by yourself, oppa?”
At the far end of the staff area on the second floor of the cafe, there was a small hallway when you opened a door.
And in that hallway, there were two doors leading to rooms.
The left room was for customers, and the right room was my office.
The customer room was designed to be a comfortable space with a cafe-like atmosphere, and the office was designed to be a clean space for me to work.
There were two more rooms inside the office. One room was for me to change clothes or take a break, and the other room was for Delia to stay in when she came to work.
Well, it was called a room for changing clothes and resting, but it would also have a bed, so there was a nearly 100% chance it would turn into a sex room.
“Since it’s big, Dajeong, you can come here anytime to study or draw comics, like you said before.”
“Then I’ll really come here without hesitation?”
“Of course~. That’s why I made the customer room.”
“Hehe. Then I’ll come every day.”
Tap tap.
While I was talking to Dajeong, I heard footsteps from the other end of the hallway.
When I went out of the office, a woman was looking around. She looked like a college student.
When our eyes met, she looked slightly surprised.
“Excuse me…”
“Did you come for the cafe interview?”
“Ah, yes.”
“Then please come into this room.”
The woman followed my instructions and entered the office.
“Dajeong, go to the customer room.”
“Okay~.”
Dajeong quickly left the office, and only Yujeong noona, the interviewee, and I remained in the room.
I put on my Fortune Tracker glasses and looked at the interviewee.
“You’re here early. What’s your name and age?”
“Yes, umm. My name is Baek Arin, and I’m twenty-three years old.”
“You’re the one who texted about the weekday afternoon part-time shift.”
“Ah, yes. That’s right.”
As I said that, I asked the Fortune Tracker to find a part-timer who could help the cafe thrive and maintain a good atmosphere.
Zzzing-
The glasses activated, and I looked at the applicant.
“Have you ever worked at a cafe before?”
“Ah… no.”
“Then have you ever worked part-time before?”
“No, I haven’t…”
Gold.
Despite her timid voice, Baek Arin shone with a bright golden light.
I inwardly cheered and asked a few formal questions.
Baek Arin answered the questions diligently, and I noted down the specific times and days the applicant wanted before concluding the interview.
“Thank you for your time. You’ll receive a text today about whether you’ve been accepted.”
“Ah… is that all?”
“Yes. Umm. Noona, do you have any questions you want to ask?”
Yujeong noona hmmmed for a moment before asking a formal question like I did.
Baek Arin answered diligently, then bowed her head and left the room.
“Goodbye…!”
“Yes, please go carefully.”
Baek Arin, was it?
Just in case, I looked up her profile on the Heroine App, and her traits appeared.
[Name: Baek Arin]
[Age, Gender: 23, Female]
[Traits: Benevolence, Hard Worker]
[Occupation: None]
[Affinity: 25] [Trust: 21] [Fate: 04]
Oh.
Looking at her traits, I understood why the Fortune Tracker had chosen her.
But why are her affinity and trust so high when I just met her?
While I was looking at her traits on the Heroine App, Yujeong noona spoke.
“Hmm. It’s a bit ambiguous, but she seems like she’s willing to work hard. What do you think?”
“I think she’s okay.”
“Really?”
We continued with the interviews.
I had sent texts to 16 people, asking them to come for interviews in 10-minute intervals, and more people showed up than I expected.
A total of 11 people came for interviews, and most of them seemed fine on the surface.
Of course, there were also some traps.
Like this person.
[Name: Kim Minsol]
[Age, Gender: 25, Female]
[Traits: Neutral, Selfish, Lethargic, Artist]
[Occupation: None]
[Affinity: 21] [Trust: 18] [Fate: 04]
She did the best interview out of all the applicants, but the glasses didn’t react at all, so I checked her traits and found this.
Still, Kim Minsol was the only one the glasses didn’t react to at all, and the rest had a golden glow.
The brightness varied quite a bit from person to person.
Baek Arin, who came first, was probably the brightest.
I carefully noted down the brightness of the golden glow, the traits, and the desired times and days.
There could be more applicants in the future, so I just needed to think carefully and choose…
Suddenly, Yujeong noona looked at me.
“But Jinhyun.”
“Yes.”
I also looked at Yujeong noona.
The interviews had clearly gone well, but for some reason, Yujeong noona looked a little pouty.
Then, she opened her mouth.
“Why are all the applicants women?”
