"Morning, Zoey Cho!" Zoha announced loudly, walking into the empty cafe. Zoey popped her head out from the kitchen, where she was washing dishes in preparation for the day ahead of them.

"Hi Zoha! What's got you all energetic today?" Zoey laughed, wiping her hands on her apron.

"I had a lot of apple juice this morning for no reason, so I am all sugared right now!" said Zoha, grinning. Zoey raised an eyebrow, laughing again.

"That's nice, just make sure you can still cook," Zoey smiled. The Indian woman nodded excitedly and dropped her backpack off by the cashier and then going to join Zoey in the kitchen.

They cleaned the area a bit before Penni and Amy came in. Amy helped the cafe on days when she had little to no class (Zoey wouldn't let her skip any no matter how much Amy complained about the boring professors). Mark also came in a few minutes later, swinging his car keys and whistling a popular song about someone being just right.

"Oh we're all here early today!" Zoey noticed as she and Amy were wiping off the tables before the store opened.

"For the first time in forever," Amy said. Zoey's face lit up.

"Don't you dare sing it," Penni cut in, making Zoey stop with a frown. The older girl laughed as Zoey pretended to throw her dishtowel.

"Hey, break it up ladies!" Zoha called.

"Here's to a great day!" Amy grinned.

"Here's to a great day!" they all echoed after her, laughing. Zoey looked around at her friends and grinned more. She was so lucky.

About a month after opening his restaurant, Hoseok and his crew went into Café Cho craving good boba and good food, which is exactly what they knew they would get. A few fangirls asked for Namjoon's autographs, but Zoey made sure to get them a table in the back so they wouldn't be bothered. They had come in a few times before, so she was not as starstruck as before, but she still froze a bit at the thought of a celebrity sitting in her restaurant.

"Hey Hoseok! Usual orders?" she asked as he came up to the register while the rest of his friends sat down. Riri was also with them, something else Zoey had gotten used to. Riri was really nice; she had even actually volunteered to help around the cafe a few times whenever she was there and they needed more staff.

"Yep! You know us by now," he grinned. She nodded, laughing.

"Mhm," she agreed. Zoey input the food and drinks into the register.

"Are you guys busy today?" he said, tapping his fingers on his leg rhythmically. Zoey looked around at the various filled tables.

"Kinda." She grinned. "It's always get more crowded when we have you guys though."

"Oh sorry," he said, also grinning.

"Don't be sorry! It gives me good business!" she waved her hand. The receipt printed. Hoseok reached out for it, but she stuffed it into her apron pocket.

"Zoey-"

"No, no, my treat this time," she insisted.

"You did this last last time!"

"Exactly! It's every other time!" said Zoey. She pushed his hand away. "I'm not changing my mind. You guys are friends now, and I can't let friends pay all the time. Don't worry, you just owe me more favours."

"Fine, fine," he sighed, pushing his hat back to reveal tufts of black hair. Zoey sometimes wanted to reach out and play with the curls, but she resisted herself because it probably would be really weird.

"You're welcome; now go back to your people," she waved him away. Hoseok laughed and walked to the table of seven (including Riri). Zoey had noticed that when he walked, it was almost like he was a dancer or something. Probably just me being weird again, she thought to herself.

"Zoey! What did they order?" Penni yelled from the kitchen. Zoey walked over and popped her head into the doorway, looking at both of the Southern Asian girls.

"The same!" she said.

"What a surprise," Zoha rolled her eyes, already heading over to make a classic Jasmine milk tea for Riri.

"Hey! Be nice!" Zoey said to the younger woman. Zoha stuck her tongue out, and Zoey went back out with a laugh. Since no one was ordering, she decided to text Amy, who was still at school.

Zoey noticed more people coming in, so she slid her phone back in her pocket.

"Hi! Welcome to Café Cho! What can I get for you?"

A few minutes later, Zoha rang the bell to tell Zoey to pick up Hoseok and his friends' drinks (they really did have a bell; it was kind of a joke in the cafe, but then it actually became useful). Zoey ran to go get the drinks, carefully balancing three glasses in her two small hands. She did two runs of three, then one of two, leaving one more behind which was a mango green tea with boba - Hoseok's favourite drink.

While Zoey was holding it in her hand, she thought about all the drinks the others had gotten. One can tell a lot about someone's boba drink, she had learned over the years of boba making. Hoseok's was lighter and fruiter, showing he liked sweet things. Riri always got a plain milk tea, showing her more aesthetic and simple personality. Namjoon and Yoongi varied around the black teas usually, signifying they liked something darker but also not as condensed. Jin, Jungkook, and Jimin got green milk teas (although Jimin liked his with honey), showing they liked a mix of things and also had sweet tooths. Taehyung was very unique - he was in the process of trying a new thing on the menu every time he came in. Zoey noticed this corresponded with his sporadic personality (which went very well with Riri's more calm qualities).

As she was deep in thought, Zoey suddenly accidently walked into Hoseok's chair. She gasped loudly, and her hands moved in slow motion as the cup handle got caught on her fingers, spilling tea all over herself and a bit on Hoseok himself. The cafe stopped and stared at the blushing Asian who was supposed to be the organized "owner" of the restaurant. Zoey's brain went back into reality.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" she said, putting the half empty cup down on another table and looking at Hoseok, whose jacket and pants were slightly wet. Her apron and shirt were almost completely drenched in the front with tea.

They both grabbed some napkins and started patting down the table. The people around them started helping too, like Jimin and Namjoon. Zoey was red with embarrassment.

"I'm so so so so so sorry! I can't even...oh my god...I'm really sorry, Hoseok! Oh my god, Zoey why..." she muttered to herself. Hoseok shook his head with a laugh.

"Zoey, it's no problem! Calm down! It's fine, I'm ok!" he said, smiling. Zoey pushed back her hair, still very embarrassed. "But are you ok? Your clothes look ruined!"

"T-they're ok," she stammered.

"I have extra shirts in my car," Riri offered.

"Oh ok, could I um borrow one for today?" Zoey asked, biting the inside of her cheek. Riri nodded in understanding. She scooted past Taehyung, grabbed Zoey's arm, and led her to outside to a gleaming silver BMW. The model popped open the trunk, pulling out a box full of neatly folded clothes. Zoey thought it was impressive.

"That's impressive," she commented. Riri grinned.

"Thanks! You never know when you'll need an extra set of clothes, being in the fashion industry and all," she explained.

Speaking of fashion, Riri was wearing a loose, ripped jean jacket with black skinny jeans and a white crop top. She had a lavender cap on too - it was a very cute and sporty outfit.

She tugged out a baby blue top with floral embroidery on the sides. It looked way more fashionable (and expensive) than any of the clothes Zoey had ever owned.

"It's so pretty!" Zoey said aloud by accident.

"Thanks! I got it at Forever 21, and not Gucci as Tae always tells me to," Riri rolled her eyes at her boyfriend, making Zoey laugh.

A few minutes later, Zoey came out from the bathroom, wearing the new shirt (a bit shyly because it was tighter than what she normally wore), but definitely more dry. Riri clapped with a big smile. She was waiting in the hallway. They could hear the music playing in the bigger room.

"Thanks so much again, Riri, you're a lifesaver," said Zoey. Riri waved her hands.

"It's really no problem, Zoey," she said with a kind smile. "Girls gotta help out their girls, you know? And you look really good!"

"Thanks," Zoey blushed. "Do you need anything? Because honestly, this is a huge favour." She motioned to the shirt.

"She needs a job," Taehyung said, coming out of nowhere. Both girls jumped.

"What the hell, Tae?!" Riri shouted. He grinned, kissing her neck. She pushed him off and punched his arm playfully.

"Ow!" The man rolled his eyes. He turned back to Zoey, putting his arm around his girlfriend. "She does need a job though. Part time works, because she still has to do photoshoots and all. But a side job wouldn't hurt."

"You just want more money for us to buy you more Gucci," Riri said with a mock whine.

"Yep."

"Mean!"

"I can give you a part time job, if you really need it!" Zoey's eyes lit up. "We always need more hands to help out at the register and waiting tables and cleaning and all that."

"I could totally do that!" Riri clapped again.

"She's not completely useless," Taehyung nodded.

"Hey!" Riri hit him again.

"Ow! You're so mean!"

"Says you!" Riri pointed out.

"Sorry, I have to go back to the cafe but can I give you my number?" Zoey asked Riri, interrupting their debate session. Riri grinned.

"Of course!" Zoey handed Riri her phone, and the girl typed in some numbers. "Just text me and say it's from Zoey! Oh sorry, we're keeping you from your job." She laughed.

"No, it's fine," Zoey laughed also. "Ok I'll see you two!" She waved and ran back to the cafe front.

"Cute top," Penni complimented from the register.

"Thanks," Zoey flushed light pink. "It's Riri's."

"Girl has style," Amy said. She put out two more orders of popcorn chicken, and Zoey got back to cleaning around the counters. "Hoseok! These are your's!"

Hoseok walked over to grab the food and caught sight of Zoey. She had her hair up in a messy ponytail, skinny jeans, that one blue shirt Riri had bought herself for her birthday, and classic Converse. It wasn't a bad look. He smiled to himself and walked back.

"Hyung, get our food faster!"

"Shut up, Jungkookie!"

"Hey!"
