1st POV
Rieze
I woke up to my alarm on my phone with the song, DNA. I have to leave to meet up with the designer and contractor of my café so we can discuss our plans and take down my ideas or suggestions which can attract the customers.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
After taking a bath, I prepared an outfit that was comfortable and I settled with wearing a headband. I prepared my pink hair tie just in case I need to do anything hands-on.
(A/N: Excluding the Sunglasses and the Starbucks cup)
I settled all my essentials in my white backpack, brought my laptop and I walked out of the house to find a breakfast café.
(A/N: Don't worry, Rieze already prepared some travel snacks so that she had enough energy to keep walking and 2 bottles of water)
~~~A few stations later~~~
I found a restaurant nearby and luckily, it is a few minutes away from the site of my restaurant.
(A/N: I was randomly searching for restaurants and luckily this one serves American breakfast)
As I entered, the waitress greeted me in Korean and I greeted back and told her a table for one but in the booth area. That way, I have enough space to place my laptop to do a little bit of research. I ordered pancakes with sunny-side up eggs and bacon. I had Hot Chocolate as my beverage and hash browns as a side.
'I really love American breakfast but nothing beats Filipino food especially when it is homemade' I thought to myself while looking around the restaurant. While waiting, I opened my laptop and began to read the Korean tastes. I knew some love spicy food but I would love to incorporate my country's dishes so they will be introduced to our delicacies. I also decided to give them home cooked Korean dishes since I wanted my customers to feel a sense of comfort. I took down notes on my laptop and on my phone to be reminded. After 30 minutes of research, my order arrived just in time as I was about to put it away in my case.
After eating breakfast, I made it to the café and saw my designer and contractor at the entrance. "Good Morning Ms. España! I'm your designer Park Mei and this is our builder, Lee Kyung. We are honored to assist you in your business." Mei said as the both of them bowed down. "Well, it's nice to meet you both as well hehe. Have you guys eaten?" I asked, worried that they may have been in this site without eating. "Don't worry Ms. España. We were able to have breakfast." Kyung said. "Hehe, that's a relief. But all of you must be exhausted. How about this? Is the kitchen all set?"
"The kitchen and restrooms are already complete. What's left is the dining area, exterior, private rooms, and leisure areas." Kyung replied.
"As a token for your hard work, how about I'll cook you some of my dishes of my restaurant for lunch? All of your workers are welcome to join hehehe"
"Oh, you don't have to this miss🤭" Mei replied
"I wanted to hehe. It's one way that I can repay you."
"Well... we appreciate it so much Ms. España" Mei replied.
"No sweat! Oh and please, call me Rieze. Being called by my last name sounds too formal hehe. I like us to be friends."
Mei and Kyung giggled at my request and decided to call me by my name. (Still with the 'miss' though). Throughout the day, they consulted me about the concept I wanted and the type of aesthetic I go for in my original café. For lunch, I made Adobo, Bulgogi, Kimchi fried rice, and Liempo for everyone. Luckily, the inventory I ordered prior to my visit were already set so it gave me more time to cook. While having lunch, they shared to me their stories, hobbies, and told me how they went to my main branch of my restaurant before. By this time, it was already 4pm. I needed to go back to my house. I got Mei's and Kyung's phone numbers and social media accounts and bid farewell to them. They told me that They will constantly update the progress of the restaurant. I told them I will often visit the place at least 2 times per week to see any changes made.
~~Timeskip to weekends~~
It was already Saturday. Between the days of my site visitation, there were days that I went sightseeing in known locations of Seoul. I already became familiar with city and gotten used to the trains and taxis as my mode for transportation. Today, I decided to take it easy and look for a park to finish writing my fanfiction.
(A/N: Rieze's outfit but lose the glasses on her hand)
As I walked around, I found a park that have all the blossom in bloom. It was near a baseball stadium. I found a good spot under the trees and decided to sit on the grass. I opened my laptop to start my writing.
While doing so, I hummed Spring day and sang a little of the lyrics. I was so immersed into my world that I did not notice someone staring at me and clapped.
"You have such a good voice"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: I am back! I'm so sorry for not updating so soon because requirements were overwhelming but I still had the juices needed to help in my writing. So Rieze visited her café and apparently she found time to go to a park in the weekends to start her second hobby. Then somebody noticed her. Who is it?
