I Quit My Job and Run a Café - Chapter 84

Episode 84

Blue Camellia, the girl group that Go Na-eun is a part of, successfully concluded its activities this spring.

Go Na-eun’s hard carry was the beginning of that success.

Go Na-eun, who already had high recognition, promoted the group whether she appeared on a broadcast alone or with others.

There was no one among the members who didn’t know that.

But struggling alone had its limits.

At some point, Go Na-eun’s situation started to get worse. She was walking around with a very tired face, so everyone couldn’t help but worry.

He even disappeared right before an important stage. It was a situation that could not help but be nerve-wracking.

‘My sister will come.’

‘We, we shouldn’t be like this either.’

‘Yeah. I can’t just leave everything up to my older sister. I need to be more alert from now on.’

Still, they believed in Gona Eun.

And when she came back, she was greeted warmly. For some reason, Go Na-eun had become brighter and more radiant.

The stage performance was also a huge success, and it became an opportunity for them to make a comeback.

Everything worked out well.

But still, she didn’t forget what happened that day.

Sister, you’ve come this far, let’s share the burden that Go Na-eun is carrying, you haven’t forgotten that promise.

At least let’s not become a shadow on that bright appearance.

After that, even on days when Go Na-eun had a broadcast, she didn’t just practice in the practice room.

Communicating with fans, taking on challenges with other idols and singers, etc. I looked for things I could do and did them. Of course, there haven’t been any clear results yet.

In the meantime… … .

“First place goes to the Blue Camellia Flower Boom!”

We won first place on a music show.

Somehow, the charm and talent that was already great on stage radiated beyond the camera, and a video of the stage that someone filmed and uploaded became a huge hit.

With that, the group went on a full-fledged rise along with the song’s promotion.

Lucky things kept coming my way. It was as if things could go this well.

“I’m so thankful to all of our members, and I love you so much for following along, and not only me, but all of our members have worked hard, and I’m so grateful to you all for giving us this gift! I’ll work even harder in the future!”

All the members burst into tears at Go Na-eun’s short comment.

One of the derogatory terms they usually heard was that the group was comprised of Go Na-eun and a dull member.

But that’s not the case anymore.

Whether it’s singing or dancing, the characters come to life better as each’s strengths are highlighted.

Each person’s efforts ultimately brought out their strengths.

Hard work doesn’t necessarily guarantee success, but it did lead to it this time.

Now, it is not Go Na-eun’s blue camellia, but a real blue camellia.

And for them, who had spent such a splendid and blooming spring, another important moment has come.

“For the next album, senior Mushruby wants to work with you. What do you think?”

“… … !?”

“Really!?!”

“Awesome! This is so good!”

The manager had no intention of getting upset at the members’ excited expressions, but he had to say what he had to say.

“But as you all know, things aren’t so good for Senior Mushruby these days. Did you see that?”

“ah.”

Clearly, Mushruby was considered a genius producer and composer. But recently, his reputation has been tarnished.

The slump led to a long break.

The song isn’t coming out, and the condition isn’t getting better…

At his agency, he was treated as a ghost in the studio or a sick vampire.

“Of course, it’s not easy to refuse since it’s a senior from the same agency who asked us to work together. But since we’re on the rise right now, if we talk to the CEO well… … .”

“I like it. We’re working with senior Mushruby.”

The manager seemed to be looking at it negatively and suggested refusal. However, Go Na-eun stopped him in the middle.

“Naeun-ah. Um… …Can I ask you something?”

The manager didn’t say anything to Go Na-eun but asked her why.

“Actually, I happened to pass by Senior Mushruby’s studio a while ago.”

“however?”

“I heard the sound in the studio… … I really liked it. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was ours.”

“hmm.”

I feel a little better.

But the manager scratched his chin and pondered because it was too subjective an evaluation to decide based on this.

at that time.

“I agree with your opinion.”

“me too.”

“Me too!”

Other members joined in. The manager eventually nodded at that sight.

“Okay, if that’s what you guys think, let’s give it a try.”

She hadn’t heard anything like that. Recently, an acquaintance of the management team said that Mushruby’s expression had brightened significantly.

Hysteria has also decreased, and it is said that there have been more passionate requests for various things than before.

Of course, at the time, it was hard to believe these rumors, so I just ignored them…

“Oh, right! But are we going to take a break for a bit?”

“Oh, really? Being active is good, but you should rest when you can. Since you won’t be able to rest then if you start working again, why don’t you go home for a bit while you’re at it? Okay?”

Previously, Go Na-eun was a pathological person who worked hard. Now that the water has come in, she has to row.

As a manager who had been watching her for several years, I was worried that Go Na-eun’s workaholic tendencies were resurfacing.

So I quickly changed the subject to say that we should take a break… … .

“Really? Then before we go home, let’s go to a cafe!”

“… … A café? Why a café all of a sudden?”

“For the next album.”

And why is going to a cafe for the next album?

The manager and the members tilted their heads, but Go Na-eun just smiled brightly.

* * *

I already know Go Na-eun, and the other members also recognized her face thanks to Su-a.

‘It looks exactly like the real screen.’

It was a little strange.

“Wow~ This place is so amazing! The shade of the trees is so cool!”

“Oh! Is that the roof that my sister was talking about over there?”

“… … You’re hurt. Be careful.”

I’m talking about the sight of idols with red, yellow, and blue hair wandering around the empty lot of our store.

What the heck is that picture?

“Oh, I’m sorry for the sudden request. Our children really wanted to come… … I’ll be careful not to cause any damage to the cafe.”

Then a woman who appeared to be the manager approached me and spoke politely.

“Oh, yes. It’s fine. As long as it doesn’t bother other customers, there are no other customers at the moment.”

It was definitely distracting, but it was okay because it was an empty lot.

By the way.

“You’re here again.”

“I told you I was coming again, right? This time, the members came with me. Our manager is here too.”

As expected, the manager is right.

Go Na-eun introduced the manager next to her. As expected, as expected of a girl group manager… … her aura was very dull.

‘Doesn’t this guy even sleep?’

[Kang So-ra]

*situation

─Fatigue due to excessive workload.

─My physical abilities are significantly limited due to fatigue that has built up to the limit, but I am holding on with a strong spirit.

Is that the state of someone who lives by evil and violence? … The fatigue has already piled up, but he’s enduring it with his mind.

First of all, I have to recommend a menu that is definitely good for recovering from fatigue.

“What’s wrong? What did you see from Manager Unnie?”

“yes?”

“I don’t know why, but the boss always seemed to know everything, just like before. That’s why.”

As I was looking at the manager, Go Na-eun asked. But the question was strangely sharp.

The intuition is much better than I thought.

‘It was the same when I came here before, I followed my feeling and it was here… ‘

Maybe he’s just a really good person? Of course, that doesn’t mean he can give you the answer you want.

“No. I just think you have dark circles under your eyes.”

“ah!”

And anyone can know this much without even looking at the text window.

Go Na-eun glanced at her manager for no reason, and the manager just rubbed his eyes with his hand as if nothing had happened.

“Oh my! Are you tired from driving all the way here? Let’s take a break. I came here to rest.”

“It’s okay. But shouldn’t we order first?”

“Ah! Guys! Let’s order first!”

I’m still out of my mind.

Go Na-eun took the menu and called the other members after hearing the calm manager’s words.

Then, the members who were playing here and there gathered in front of her… … but one person did not come.

“Where did he go?”

“Um… I think it’s over there.”

He kindly pointed to the ceiling as he watched Go Na-eun wandering around.

Through the glass window in the ceiling, which was Lang’s favorite spot, he saw the face of a member who was not there.

‘Well, they’re kids of that age. But, except for the manager, everyone else is in good shape.’

I was a little worried when Go Na-eun came back, but it turned out to be nothing to be concerned about.

The other members’ condition also seemed relatively okay, with only a little fatigue.

Of course, the same goes for Go Na-eun.

It seems like his condition hasn’t gotten any worse since that day.

‘It’s nice to have new customers, but it’s also satisfying to see previous customers come back in good shape.’

Is this the heart of a self-employed person toward his or her regular customers?

“Wow! I see a new menu too?”

“Yes, there will be additional menus depending on the season or what ingredients are available that day.”

“Ah! Tanghulu! Miso! It’s your favorite Tanghulu!”

Go Na-eun, who was looking at the menu, gestured towards the ceiling. But is that really enough to have a conversation?

Doo doo doo!

Oh, that works.

All the members who were on the ceiling came into the cafe.

There were four members, including Ko Na-eun. And it was only now that we were able to see the full group.

‘… … This is.’

It was the flower of talent.

And it wasn’t just a single flower… …it was a flower garden. I couldn’t see them when they were there one by one, but when there were four of them, they were created.

This is the first time I’ve seen so many people get along together like this.

Is it because the members have such good compatibility? In any case, in this situation, do I really need to recommend a separate menu?

Yeah, there’s no rule that says only people in serious condition have to come to the tiger shelter.

‘hmm?’

At that moment, something caught my eye.

‘It’s still a flower bud.’

The point was that the talents of the other members, excluding Go Na-eun, had not yet fully bloomed.

It was buried in the flower field so I couldn’t see it, but when I looked closely, I saw it.

Flower buds… … Even now, the flower garden they created is pretty, but I wonder what it will be like when it all blooms.

‘The royal jelly given to the queen bee had the effect of releasing potential effects.’

Unfortunately, there wasn’t much of it so I used it all up then.

There’s nothing we can do, we have no choice but to fulfill our original role here for now.

That’s right.

“You may choose any seat that is comfortable for you.”

rest.

I don’t know how they got here, but it must have been precious time.

Celebrities, especially idols, often have a short period of success and then quickly fall behind, so aren’t they in a profession where they have to keep rowing when things get tough?

Since Go Na-eun brought the members here again, providing just that would be a way to repay her. And then, if she does, she might find a way to make the flower buds bloom again.

“Sister! Let’s go up there. It’s really nice!”

“On the roof? But wouldn’t all five of us not be able to go up there?”

The member who came down from the roof, Miso, seemed to like it there.

“I like that window seat too.”

“… … It’s hot. Shade.”

It seems like the other members each have their own preferred location.

In times like this, someone has to clean things up… … .

“What about you, Sister? Where are you going?”

At the youngest’s question, everyone’s eyes turned to Go Na-eun.

I wonder if this guy will sort it out.

“Well, how about everyone having their own time and place?”

Wow, there was a way like that.

Yeah. There’s no need for them all to be together.

The tiger shelter is almost rented out now, so there are a lot of spaces available.

At the same time, since Go Na-eun doesn’t raise anyone’s hand, there’s nothing to fight about.

“Boss, is that okay?”

“Of course. After you’ve ordered, you can sit wherever you want.”

“That’s not hard! Kids, order whatever you want! I’ll pay!”

Oh… … I might get the biggest order of all time today.

“And, boss. By any chance… … Did Senior Mushruby come here and leave too?”

“Yes. By the way, did you tell me about this place before?”

“Yes! Did you do well?”

“thank you.”

Even recommendations.

I guess I should do my best for this?

And come to think of it… … Didn’t SuA say a while ago that Blue Camellia and Mushruby were working together on a new song?

Well then… … I think there’s something I can do.
