Chapter 118 – Episode 118 – Cafe Opening And A New Home (4)
It’s because my goal is to create a harem cafe.
I can’t exactly answer that honestly.
“Well, it’s easier to attract customers if there are a lot of pretty girls, right?”
“Hmm… Is that so?”
Yujeong-noona looks at me with suspicious eyes.
“I think it would be good to have some guys too, so we can attract female customers as well.”
I agree with Yujeong-noona’s words. Having handsome part-timers would definitely be much more advantageous in attracting both male and female customers.
Normally, that is.
In my case, I can solve the customer problem with the Heroine App item. So, is there really a need to put sweaty guys in the store?
A flower garden!
I like flower gardens…!!
I can make it so that there are no problems with business even if there are only girls. I should lie alone in a beautiful flower garden and smell the fragrance.
Harem, hooray!
“I’ll think about it for now.”
Just think about it.
“I can tell you’re just saying that.”
How did she know?
“Hehe.”
“What’s so funny, what?”
When I laughed, suddenly caught off guard, Yujeong-noona patted my shoulder and chuckled.
We laughed like that as we organized the part-time worker applications.
“Ugh…”
“Tired?”
“Just… I’m a bit stiff.”
As I stretched, Yujeong-noona stared at me from the side.
“Is the interview all done now?”
“Yes. I guess the rest of them are no-shows.”
It’s already been 20 minutes since the last interviewee left.
It’s safe to assume that they won’t be coming after this.
I sent texts to the people who didn’t come earlier, saying it was a waste, but they all just ignored me.
I wondered why they wouldn’t just say they couldn’t come, but I had done that before when I was looking for a part-time job, so I just let it go.
“Still, more people came than I thought. I didn’t expect 11 people to show up.”
“Yeah. They all seem pretty good too. Should we call Dajeong now? That it’s all over.”
“No, just a moment.”
“Huh? Why? Where are you going?”
“Just sit there for a moment.”
I opened the door next to me and summoned the Black Room portal. Then, I quickly grabbed two paper bags that I had prepared in the Black Room and came out.
“Noona, try this on.”
I handed one of the paper bags to Yujeong-noona.
“Try it on? What is it?”
“The cafe uniform came out.”
“Oh? You made a uniform too?”
Yujeong-noona looked surprised.
“If we’re going to do this properly, we need a uniform.”
The uniform design was also arranged by Sujeong’s father.
Honestly, I thought Sujeong’s father would just help once and leave me alone, but maybe because his favorability is high, he actually contacted me first, asking if I had gotten the uniforms and taking good care of me.
Of course, he only connected me, and I had to do the rest of the design and everything, but I could think about that with the designer and Delia.
A bright white shirt and a black suspender skirt.
It was a look that gave off a subtle, free-spirited vibe without being too flashy, with a slightly office-like feel. It was a look that boasted considerable sexiness.
Honestly, I couldn’t help but admit that my taste was heavily involved.
Other individual cafes often just wear their own clothes with an apron.
I can’t resist uniform sex.
“Try it on, Noona.”
“The sizes…”
“Of course, there are different sizes. I brought them all, so just pick the size that fits you.”
“Oh. You’re thorough.”
Yujeong-noona nodded and took out a uniform that fit her size. She opened the uniform packaging and looked around the room.
“…But where do I change?”
“Change in the room I went into earlier.”
“Ah, okay.”
Yujeong-noona nodded and went into the room.
I waited calmly for her to come out, and soon the door opened.
It was an office look, but not too sharp, with a calm feeling. Maybe because Noona was wearing it, it looked even better than I thought.
“It’s good. It really suits you.”
“Really?”
Yujeong-noona smiled brightly.
Ah, her smile is so pretty.
This is the perfect opportunity.
Click.
“Wh-what are you doing?”
When I took a picture of Noona with my phone, which I had prepared in advance, Noona’s eyes widened.
“A commemorative photo. Oh. It came out well.”
“What? A commemorative photo? It came out well? Let me see. Hey. How can you take a picture so suddenly. Show me quickly. Did it come out weird? Delete it quickly.”
“Ah, why would I delete it? Hehe. Just stay still. I’ll send it to you on KakaoTalk. Ah, put your hand down quickly.”
“Tsk…”
When I lifted my phone high, using the height difference between me and Noona, Noona reached out to grab my phone, but soon looked at me with a resigned expression.
There was a lot of resentment in that expression.
Ding-
I immediately sent the photo to Noona on KakaoTalk.
“How is it? It came out well, right?”
“…Well, it’s not like it came out well. My expression and pose are all weird…”
Noona pouted after looking at the photo.
“It’s pretty, what’s weird about it? More importantly, if there’s anything you don’t like about the design after seeing the photo, tell me. Ah. Is the outfit too uncomfortable to work in?”
“Ah, no. It’s not uncomfortable. The design seems good too… But when did you make the uniform?”
“I placed the order before we went on the trip.”
When I said that, Noona looked at me with a fresh expression.
“When you were working part-time at the convenience store, you hated doing anything… Jinhyun, you’ve really changed.”
“So, do you not like it?”
“N-no, it’s not that…”
When I approached her, Yujeong-noona’s eyes trembled. I grabbed Noona’s wrist.
“Why are you moving away? It’s not over yet. I’ll put on the apron too.”
“Apron…?”
I took out an apron from another paper bag.
This look is much prettier without an apron, but still, things might splash while working at the cafe.
Wearing an apron is the standard for a cafe uniform.
I put the apron on Noona while facing her.
I put her arms through the apron and tied the strings behind her back.
“Do you have to put it on in this position…?”
“Yes.”
“It would be easier to do it from behind…”
“It’s easier for me this way.”
“…”
Putting on the apron while facing each other created a pose that looked like a hug.
I wrapped my arms around Yujeong-noona’s waist and tied the apron strings.
Since there was more than a 20cm height difference between me and Yujeong-noona, it looked like Noona was completely in my arms.
Rustle, rustle.
The remodeling was temporarily paused during the interviews, so only the sound of tying the strings could be heard in the room.
Maybe it was because the Seduction Scent was on, but every time my arm brushed against Noona’s side, I could feel her body flinching.
“Jinhyun-ah…?”
“Yes?”
“I-isn’t it all tied now…?”
It didn’t take long to tie the apron.
I had already tied the strings, but I kept my hands around Noona’s back.
At Yujeong-noona’s words, I hugged her even tighter.
Noona’s body trembled.
“It is, but let’s stay like this a little longer.”
******
‘Not again…’
Thump, thump.
When she was hugged tightly by Jinhyun, Yujeong’s heart pounded fiercely.
The same pounding she had felt in the movie theater before. No, it was even more intense than that.
Honestly, at that time, it was only for that moment, and when she thought about it again at home, it didn’t feel that good.
But, these days were different.
After being hugged by Jinhyun for the first time.
Whenever she thought of Jinhyun, her heart would pound, and she would smile. It wasn’t just when they met, but whenever and wherever she thought about him.
She had been working hard every day, but when she was hugged like this in Jinhyun’s arms, it felt like all that hard feeling was washed away.
‘And why does he smell so good…’
Haa…
It was a masculine yet addictive scent. It made her wonder if she had a smell fetish.
Moreover, his height and build were good, and she loved the feeling of being hugged so tightly, as if she was being crushed.
But.
But…
“I-is it okay now…?”
Yujeong calmed her pounding heart and gently pushed Jinhyun away.
She wanted to stay like this, but she couldn’t.
Because Dajeong was there.
Honestly, she thought that Dajeong’s liking of Jinhyun was just a light crush on an older brother who looked cool.
But, that wasn’t it.
She had accidentally seen Dajeong’s diary.
Jinhyun appeared in the diary that she wrote every day. What conversations they had today, what they did and played together today, and so on.
Just by looking at Dajeong’s face when she looked at her KakaoTalk messages, she could tell whether the message was from Jinhyun or someone else.
Well, just the fact that she had changed the male lead of her manga to be based on Jinhyun showed how much she liked him.
However, Jinhyun didn’t let go of Yujeong.
“It’s not okay yet.”
“What… You said just a little bit.”
“My little bit is very long.”
Yujeong looked at Jinhyun, who was smiling mischievously, with a squint.
Jinhyun met Yujeong’s eyes and said as if he had a good idea.
“Then, I’ll let you go if you kiss me.”
Kiss.
Scenes from the past naturally played in Yujeong’s mind.
The first kiss she had with Jinhyun in the movie theater, and the ecstatic kiss in the motel.
Her heart pounded fiercely and ached at the same time.
‘He’s really a bad guy…’
She was trying to gather her courage and give up, but.
On the surface, he was being so lovey-dovey with Dajeong in front of her, but secretly, he was coming on to her like this.
As expected, Jinhyun was a bad guy who was cheating. And on sisters by blood.
“A kiss… Don’t say ridiculous things.”
“Why is it ridiculous? We’ve done worse than that.”
“That was… And Dajeong is here now.”
“Dajeong is probably drawing her manga right now. She’ll never know.”
What kind of expression would Dajeong make if she knew that she and Jinhyun were like this?
The best thing would be to let Dajeong know that Jinhyun is a bad guy…
Let her know…
‘What would happen if I told her?’
Yoon Yujeong suddenly thought.
What if she told her, and Dajeong still liked Jinhyun?
Then what should she do?
She would have to give up on Jinhyun as well.
But there was no guarantee that Jinhyun wouldn’t keep coming on to her even if she told her. It would only increase the hurt for Dajeong.
And even if she started to dislike him, was it right to tell her right now?
The contest was just around the corner, and now was a very important time for Dajeong. Dajeong, who was completely immersed in Jinhyun, was also on a roll with her manga, and recently, her manga had become more vibrant.
If she shocked Dajeong at this time, she might falter in the contest, and Dajeong’s future itself could become very uncertain.
‘There’s no answer…’
The best option was for her to strongly block Jinhyun.
She had to put up a wall and prevent him from coming on to her.
Just like she had done with other guys.
She had to tell him not to do this, that she didn’t like it.
But…
Thump, thump.
The biggest reason why she couldn’t do that was that she was feeling a subtle thrill from this act.
The fierce beating of her heart blocked that option itself.
She wasn’t as good at drawing or studying as Dajeong, but Jinhyun wanted her more than Dajeong.
That one fact alone was strangely exciting.
‘I’m sorry, Dajeong…’
Besides, when you think about it, wasn’t she the one who confessed to Jinhyun first, the one who liked him first?
A kiss was okay, right…?
“B-but still, no…”
In the end, all Yoon Yujeong could utter was a very weak protest.
“No-. Mmm, chomp, smack…”
Her weak guard was quickly broken, and she allowed Jinhyun’s intrusion.
Yujeong stood on tiptoe.
