{ Surprised }
She blinked her eyes slowly and everything came back to normal.
“What was that”she muttered. They aren’t hugging anymore.
“You look like a child right now”Gia chuckled.
“Thanks”Natalie said again.
“We’ve got work to do”Izzy parted her back, walking away.
They all went back to work, but Allyson was still thinking of what she saw. The first vision was a good one but the second was confusing. Is it bad or good.
Finally, the restaurant became empty and they all sighed deeply.
“I think the evening sales pays more”Gia said.
“I’ve been thinking same”Izzy said.
“So what do you all suggests?”Ji-hoon asked.
“Since we’ve got nothing to do, we should keep coming”Stefan said.
“What’s wrong Allyson?”Ji-hoon asked, noticing her moody face.
“Nothing much, I’m just thinking of the confusing vision I had”she said.
“What’s that about?”Stefan moved his seat closer but she stood up.
“I’ll leave first guys, good night!”she picked her bag and walked out. Gia and Izzy understanding what just happened, began laughing.
“I really don’t know what I did”he muttered and they laughed more.
“He really doesn’t know anything”Gia laughed.
“Seriously the both of you should just tell me what’s wrong and stop laughing”Stefan said.
“I’ll get going”Natalie said and walked away. Immediately she was out of sight, Gia and Izzy started laughing again.
“I’ll just leave”Stefan stood.
“Come on Stefan, Allyson is only angry cause Natalie brushed her lips on yours”Izzy said.
“What! I was also shocked”he said.
“Right, you were shocked when Allyson did it too but you pushed her off”Izzy said.
“Okay, this is just too much, I couldn’t have pushed Natalie or the show would have ended badly and I don’t even like any of them”he said.
“Tell it to her not us”Izzy stood up.
“I’ll take my leave, take the trash out before you leave”she said to Stefan and walked out.
“I’m a guy!”he shouted.
“I’m your senior!!”Izzy shouted, though they couldn’t see her.
“She’s really doing too much, I could be her elder brother”he groaned, picking the trash bin and he left from there.
“Hey, what happened? You’ve been moody”Gia faced Ji-hoon.
“Just thinking”he said.
“Hmm, it have been long since we slept together”she said and he gasped, covering her mouth with his palm.
“What?”she laughed.
“One hearing us would think we had…..we slept together…..as in…..”he shuttered.
“Look at your face!”she pulled down his hand and began laughing.
“Just go home”he stood up.
“Let’s sleep together Ji-hoon”she followed behind.
“Gia!!”he shouted.
“Cuddling ourselves…..”he covered her mouth before she could complete it.
“Let me take you home”he began dragging her but she held a chair.
“I wanna spend the night with my best friend, come on”she said and he let go of her.
“Fine, but stop saying the words”he said and she stucked out her tongue.
He went to shut the restaurant while Gia went to the kitchen. “What should I take along?!”she said as he joined her.
“Let’s eat noodles”he said.
“And some chicken”she winked as she brought some chicken out of the fridge while he took it from her.
“Beer!”she said, pointing to it.
“Such a baby”he chuckled as she took four cans of beer. They eventually walked out of the kitchen, walking out through the backdoor which leads upstairs.
“Hey, you’ve given up on college?”he asked as they arranged everything on the table.
“School stuffs aren’t for me, I just wanna get popular, you know that feeling when people sees you on the street and start screaming to at least touch you or take photos”she said and he smiled.
“You’re still the same”he said as they sat down.
“I’m not changing soon”she said with her mouth full of chicken and he smiled.

TWO WEEKS LATER * FOOD VILLA
It has been two weeks and everything has just been going normal. More people keep coming and they’re even on deliveries now.
Allyson has been giving Stefan the moody behavior.
“We’ve got a delivery!”Gia shouted from the kitchen and Stefan ran to her.
“Where?”he asked and she showed him her phone while he took the package, walking out.
“Attention needed Natalie!”Izzy called since a customer is done and wants to transfer.
“Allyson! There!”Izzy pointed at an empty table of a guy and a lady. They just walked in.
Ji-hoon was busy cooking nonstop.
That’s just how things have been going. Very busy and ethic. At morning and noon is still easy but the evening and night isn’t that easy.

Stefan got to the house the package belongs to and rang the bell. He waited for some minutes before a lady walked in.
“Food villa right?”she asked and he nodded, showing her his T-shirt.
Yes, they’ve gotten a T-shirt.
“Nice”she took the package and signed where necessary.
“Would you like to come in?”she asked but he laughed it off.
“I’ve got work”he said.
“Hold on”she said and walked back in, coming out with a business card. “This is my card, I saw one of your shows, you’re really talented, you should give me a call”she said and he took it. She flashed him a smile before shutting the door.
He stood there for a while before getting on the bike, zooming off.

Back at the restaurant, the busy sales kept going on and right now, they’re really tried.
“We need more people boss”Allyson groaned.
“Yes, I’m really tried right now”Izzy said.
“You shouldn’t be senior”Stefan said and they laughed.
“Look, we’re growing on Instagram”Gia showed them her phone.
“Come to think of it, Gia hasn’t showed us any of her ability, Stefan had a show done, Natalie sang countless times, I already danced to my k-pop music and Allyson is popularly known”Izzy said.
“So you mean I should do a catwalk with different dresses?”Gia asked.
“Yes!”
“Over here!”a customer who’s obviously done shouted and Natalie left.
“Let’s do it tonight then”Gia said and they nodded.

STAPLE & FANCY
Jin-Gui sat in his office, checking out some documents when a bodyguard walked in.
“I didn’t send for you”he said without looking up.
“It’s about the small restaurant that is becoming popular, they posted a photo and a girl looks like young Miss Ivy”the bodyguard said and he looked up.
“What do you mean?”he asked.
“Have a look”the guard handed him the tablet he’s with.
“What! She has been there all along!”he shouted.
“I’ve always seen their photos but she’s always on mask so I didn’t recognize her”
“We’re going there tonight”he said and the guard bowed before leaving.

FOOD VILLA * NIGHT
As expected, everywhere was filled up. Some for food while others for the show.
The setting/arrangement of the restaurant was quite different today, cause there’s space in the middle of it.
White and black light was turned on and the people watched in curiosity on what is about to happen.
Immediately Gia appeared, the black light moved to her first and at every step she made till she got to the middle where the white light was turned on.
Looking segzy in the strapless dinner gown.
Gasps and murmuring of people could be heard since everywhere was silent.
Her walks was heaven, she got to the extreme end and walked back through, few minutes later, she came out on a white but not tight crop top and a long black tight skirt.
Clicking of phones could be heard as videoing and taking of photos could be heard.
This kept going as she changed up to ten times. Off course, she has the body and the dresses fit just perfectly on her.
It ended and the light was brought back on as applaud filled the restaurant.
“You’re an angel baby”Izzy hit hands with her.
“I know”she bragged and they laughed.
“But boss, I would have suggested we get money from the people since they’ve got to watch our shows”Allyson said.
“You love money a lot”Ji-hoon chuckled and they laughed.
“You were great”Ji-hoon whispered to Gia and she blushed before whispering back.
“I was expecting that”
Time flew and the restaurant became scanty. Just few people in. Among the people is Jin-Gui, sitting with glasses on.
“Over here!”he said loudly and Izzy turned. Even if she’s asleep and hears that voice, she’d recognize it.
She’s cleaning the table beside him. His eyeshades already pulled off, so they’re staring directly at each other.
“Daughter”he muttered and surprisingly she said….
“Father”
