"2 more months until Mr. Loverman comes back, how are we feelings today Ms. Jieun?" Wooseok smirks as he puts a water bottle up to my mouth. I let out a small laugh as I push it away from me and placing a dry glass on a rack.

"You're going to start counting down until he comes back now aren't you?" I ask as I raise an eyebrow at him, taking another wet glass from a sink and drying it with a clean rag. Wooseok hums as he nods his head.

"It's been a while since I saw him, so I'm also excited about his return." He say as he leans his arms on the counter in front of us and turning his head to look at me.
"The only time you met him was when he picked me up for Hyunjin's party."

"And I also saw him when he picked you up at the old restaurant for your daily dates." Wooseok points out as he then grabs a bill book and taps some things on a register, then printing out a reciept. "By the way, it's almost 6. Don't accept anymore walk-ins."

"I know, I know." I say as I push him using my elbow. "Now give that bill to the table to they can leave, we have a bunch of reservations tonight since it's father's day."

"Yes ma'am!" Wooseok homily says as he stomps his left foot and putting his hand up to his forehead at an angle, then going over to a table.

I then put a glass on a rack and put the rag in a small basket underneath the counter as I go onto the register and seeing the reservation list.

There was a party which was 15 minutes late. I sigh as I take the phone from the counter, putting it up to my ear as I press the number on the buttons, then letting it ring. It didn't take long for them to pick up.

"Hello, this is Jieun from Suyoo's Restaurant. I was looking on the reservations logs and saw that you had made one for 15 minutes ago. Will you still be coming?"

"Something urgent came up and I guess I forgot to call to cancel it." The customer says with a sigh. I hum in response.
"Alright so I'll just cancel your reservation then. Thank's for picking up." I then end the call by putting the phone back in the counter, then pressing on their reservation and pressing cancel.

I then see Wooseok coming up to me with a confused look on his face, pointing over to a table behind him.
"Table 8  is asking for your service." He says. I nod my head as I grab a notepad and a pen from the counter, then making my way to the table.

"Hello, I was told you wanted my service. How may I help you today?" I say as I then look up to the table, smiling widely as I saw their face.

"Jiho, what're you doing in Seoul?" I laugh as I ruffle his fluffy and kind of long hair up, giving him a small side hug. I then look at his table and saw that he was with his friends.

"Mom and Dad are away in Daegu for something important, so I was told to come here and live with you for a bit." He says with a shrug. I widen my eyes.

"You came here all by yourself?!"

"I'm 15! Of course I did!"
