On the way
Bangchan
Bangchan
you tell me to dress up, but then you get to wear casual clothes?!
Jisung
Jisung
That's because I'm going to be WORKING
Bangchan
Bangchan
still *muttering*
Jisung
Jisung
*sighs*
they arrive and enter the restaurant, Divine. Inside, Chan goes to find a table to sit at, and Han goes to the lady at the receptionist desk
Unknown
Unknown
how may I help you?
Jisung
Jisung
Um, I'm actually here for the job, my name is Han Jisung
Unknown
Unknown
oh of course, let me call the boss
Unknown
Unknown
wait here!
She disappears through a hidden door behind the desk, and Han is left staring after her
Jisung
Jisung
(that's so cool!)
Jisung
Jisung
(will I be able to go through there if I work here?!)
Jisung
Jisung
(I wonder what's on the other side-)
suddenly, the door opens again, and a man in a suit and multiple earrings comes out with the lady behind him
Unknown
Unknown
*man* you are Han Jisung?
Jisung
Jisung
*nervous* yes
Unknown
Unknown
I'm the boss
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
my name is Choi Yeonjun
Jisung
Jisung
nice to meet you sir *bows*
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
that's enough
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
I like to be on friendly terms with my staff
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
you don't need to bow or show respect, and you can call me Yeonjun
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
the only thing you need to do is follow when I tell you something
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
understood?
Although Yeonjun had said he wanted to be on friendly terms, Han couldn't help but be slightly intimidated by him
Jisung
Jisung
yes Yeonjun
Jisung
Jisung
does that mean I'm hired?
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
I won't do an interview, as that would be of no use, rather today, I'd like you to work at the reception desk, and I'll see how you do
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
you said you worked in you father's shop?
Jisung
Jisung
Yes, in Malaysia, although his shop was not a restaurant
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
that's fine, you should know the basics then
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
if you have any questions, ask Luna, she'll be around
Luna
Luna
*nods*
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
any questions?
Jisung
Jisung
No sir
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
*sighs* please don't call me sir, it makes me feel old
Luna
Luna
*giggles*
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
*rolls eyes* I get enough of my friends calling me that
Jisung
Jisung
*smiles*
through the whole conversation, Chan was sitting at a single table watching the interaction, however he couldn't see Yeonjuns face as he was covered by Han
and then Yeonjun puts his hand out to shake, and Han moves forward to shake it, and Chan sees and recognizes Yeonjun
Bangchan
Bangchan
YEONJUN!!
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
*startled* who's that?
Jisung
Jisung
Chan Hyung?
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
Chan?!
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
you mean Bang Chan?
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
Bang Christopher Chan?
Jisung
Jisung
Christopher?
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
(oops)
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
never mind
Bangchan
Bangchan
*approaches* it is you!
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
Hello Chan
The two hug like old friends while Luna and Han stand to the side, awkward. Finally, Luna gestures for Han to follow her, and they head to the front desk
meanwhile...
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
I haven't seen you in quite a while!
Bangchan
Bangchan
you too
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
finally, the one friend I can call old! 😁
Bangchan
Bangchan
*sighs* just the same as ever
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
*lowers voice* but I have information
Bangchan
Bangchan
*raises eyebrow* you do?
Bangchan
Bangchan
So I don't appoint you for nothing?
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
Lower your voice, you never know who's listening
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
come to the back, and we'll discuss
The two slip through the door behind the counter, Han watching in confusion
Jisung
Jisung
(he said he'd watch my first day!) *confused*
Luna
Luna
is there anything else you need help with?
She had shown him how the computer worked, how to put orders in if anyone approached, otherwise the waiter/waitresses would collect orders, where the cash box was and any other important detail.
Jisung
Jisung
No, I think I'm fine
Luna
Luna
ok, just one more thing
She disappears behind the door again and returns with a black shirt with the word divine and a steaming bowl drawn underneath
Luna
Luna
this is the uniform
Luna
Luna
if you'd like, you can wear it on top of your shirt or you can change
Jisung
Jisung
I'll wear it on top for now
Luna hands the shirt over, and Han puts it on, and then Luna leaves telling him that she'll be in the back, and she'll come every now and then to check on him. If anything went wrong, he was to put a sign: not available, on the desk and look for her behind the desk
Jisung
Jisung
(so I can go behind that door!) *excited*
He settles behind the table, and eventually a couple approaches
Jisung
Jisung
hi, how may I help? *smiles*
Someone not important
Someone not important
*couple* a table for two

note: I use the 'someone' profile for someone who's not important, who'll never appear in the story again, and I use the 'unknown' profile for someone who's important, and will be introduced properly in the story, like yeonjun was

He takes their money, and the waitress leads them to their table. The job was quite easy and Han found that he had a lot of time to himself in-between customers, so he would stare around at the restaurant
NovelToon
NovelToon
NovelToon
and from where the desk was, he had a view into the kitchen
NovelToon
he also noticed right at the back of the restaurant, a bar, but since the lights were off in that area, and there was no one at the desk, he assumed it only opened at night
NovelToon
about half an hour after, Luna comes to check on him, but everything is going well. And then it's not.
the computer that he was putting the orders for tables in for stopped working, the screen turned black, and it would not wake up, no matter what he did
Han looked up, and thankfully saw no customers coming, so he put the 'not available' sign and headed to the door behind the desk
Jisung
Jisung
(I can finally discover what's behind this door!)
Jisung
Jisung
(and where Chan went)
he opens the door, and to his disappointment, it only leads to a corridor, with a few doors on either side. He walks down it, wishing he had been given specific directions of where to find Luna. He continues down the hallway, peering into the rooms with open doors, and knocking on the ones that were closed. No one responded
Most of the rooms were store rooms, some holding crates of bottles of water or oil, or products such as flour, eggs, rice, and occasional vegetables. Others had cleaning equipment like brooms and wind blowers, which Han found weird. Most of the doors were made of silver steel, making an echoing sound on the ones he had knocked on. others were like classroom door, hard plastic (I don't know how to describe them).
He reached the end of the hallway, and realized that it split into two at the end, left and right.
Jisung
Jisung
(which way do I go?!)
He listened and thought he heard someone talking or muttering towards the left, and turned left, hoping whoever it was could help at least find Luna
the voice got louder the closer he got, and then he realized it was actually two people talking, one seemed to be asking questions, and the other seemed to be answering. And the first voice sounded familiar
Jisung
Jisung
(Chan?!)
Indeed, it was Chan, as he saw when he reached a steel door with a glass window at the top, and he looked inside. He was talking with yeonjun, and their voices had sounded muffled because the steel door was blocking their voices
Han sighed in relief at having found someone, and was about to knock when he heard his name
Jisung
Jisung
(they're talking about me?!)
inside the room...
Yeonjun had led Chan to the room to talk, and they had both sat down and Chan immediately asked Yeonjun to relate everything from the beginning. (I won't say in detail what they were talking about as I want some of it to stay a secret but I'll tell u the main idea)
Yeonjun worked under Chan's company, Bang Protection Organization, and had been friends with Chan from middle school. He had been sent on a mission by Chan 2 years back as a sort of spy to gather information, and they realized after an assassination attempt on Chan from the investigated party, that it was probably better to not keep in contact, lest they find out about Yeonjun and therefore Chan. So they had not been in contact for a year, and then they met up once at the end of the year so yeonjun could give any information he had to Chan, and then spent another year infiltrating again, so it had been a year since he had seen Chan
Yeonjun had opened up a restaurant and had not contacted Chan as he knew it was risky. He had opened it, so the party wouldn't consider him suspicious for being without a job, and also because he knew restaurants could double as a secret base for him, or a fallback place, and also because it meant free food 😅
After Yeonjun finished talking about his mission, he asked how Chan had been recently, and Chan told him about Han's arrival back in Korea and how he was worried about ********. That was when Han arrived and heard his name
Jisung
Jisung
*hesitates wanting to hear more*
Jisung
Jisung
(no, I shouldn't be listening at doors)
Jisung
Jisung
(that's the exact thing you shouldn't do on your first day)
So he took a deep breath and knocked loudly on the door. Yeonjun and Chan both looked at the door startled, and saw Han, looking nervous
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
*gets up and goes to the door*
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
*opens it* what's wrong?
Jisung
Jisung
*suddenly really nervous and sweating* um, t-the computer at the front desk stopped working
Jisung
Jisung
I was looking for Luna, but I don't know these hallways, so I couldn't find her, and then I found you guys, so can you help?
Bangchan
Bangchan
*in the room* (did he hear out conversation?)
Bangchan
Bangchan
(Yeonjun told me he accidentally called me Christopher in front of him)
Bangchan
Bangchan
(I hope he didn't hear)
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
of course I can help
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
let's go
the three of them leave the room and go back to the desk, where Yeonjun shows Han that the computers wire had been cut, and produced a new wire and fixed it. He took a few minutes to get it started again, and then promised to show Han around the back after he finished the shift
Jisung
Jisung
*relieved he wasn't in trouble* thank you si- Yeonjun
Bangchan
Bangchan
you can call him sir you know
Bangchan
Bangchan
It might lower his ego a bit, make him more respectful towards his elders *rolls eyes*
Jisung
Jisung
*looks at Yeonjun*
Yeonjun
Yeonjun
don't listen to him, he's the only one who can be called sir *smiles teasingly*
Bangchan
Bangchan
all of you are brats you hear?
Bangchan
Bangchan
brats!
He then walks back to his table, which had been reserved when he had gone with Heonjun earlier, and proceeded to order a meal. Han's shift finished and then Yeonjun appeared, to fulfill his promise of showing Han around the back
