"Wouldn’t dream of it"

Huening Kai said, raising his hands in mock surrender

"We’ll just have to come back later and see if the food matches the ambiance"

As the boys left to continue their rounds, Jiwon watched them go, feeling a strange mix of pride and nervousness. The festival was officially underway, and with it came the rush of excitement and the thrill of competition

A few hours later, the café was packed. Students and teachers alike filled the room, enjoying the food, drinks, and relaxed atmosphere. The playlist Seoyeon had curated played softly in the background, setting a perfect vibe for the space. Jiwon was busy in the kitchen, flipping pancakes and making sure everything was running smoothly

"You’re really in your element, huh?"

Sumi said as she handed Hyein a plate of orders

"It’s kind of fun, isn’t it?"

Jiwon replied, smiling as she poured batter onto the griddle

"I mean, who knew we’d be this good at running a café?"

Before Sumi could respond, Eunji burst into the kitchen, looking slightly panicked

"We’ve got a situation. The guys are here—again. And they’re up to something"

"What now?"

Jiwon sighed, wiping her hands on her apron

The group peeked out of the kitchen to see Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Soobin, Taehyun, and Huening Kai sitting at a table near the entrance, whispering among themselves and glancing around the room

"They’re definitely plotting something"

Haeun whispered, narrowing her eyes

"Let’s see what they’re up to"

Seoyeon suggested, her curiosity piqued

The girls walked over to the table, trying to act casual

"Enjoying the café?"

Eunji asked, folding her arms

"Absolutely"

Yeonjun replied with a grin

"But we were wondering… any chance of getting a secret menu item?"

Jiwon raised an eyebrow

"A secret menu?"

"Yeah, something only for VIPs like us"

Soobin said, leaning back in his chair with a smirk

"VIPs, huh?"

Jiwon echoed, pretending to consider it
