"Did you enjoy your meal? You had the pork cutlet, pasta, lemonade, and Americano. That comes to a total of 16,000 won."
"It was delicious. Amazing!"
"Please come again."
"Yes, I'll definitely come back."
After the satisfied couple finished their meal and paid, Eun-jeong and Min-ju quickly cleaned and set the table.
"Sorry for the wait. I'll show you to your table."
Eun-jeong led the party of four to their seats and handed them the menu.
"The items on the left are only available in the morning. For lunch, please see the right side."
Eun-jeong explained in a friendly voice, her face adorned with a professional smile.

"What's good?"
"The one-person menu is limited, so people usually order all four items and share them. The same goes for drinks."
Eun-jeong explained the Sunflower Restaurant rule to the first-time customers who had only heard rumors about the place.
You don't order what you want to eat here.
Everything is delicious, so the rule is to order as many different items as possible and share them to get the most out of your meal. Otherwise, it's a waste. That's what YouTuber Captain said, so most people order that way.
"Then I'll do that."
"Yes, please wait a moment."
Eun-jeong relayed the order to Min-ju and Hae-jun.
"One drink and one main dish each."
"Okay."
"Got it. Dong-sik, one omelet rice. Kang-hoon, bring out the soup and bread."
"Yes, boss."
"Understood."
As usual, today was another busy day with barely a moment to spare.
They woke up early in the morning to get ingredients from the Dimensional Farm and spent the entire morning making and selling Fat sandwiches. After a quick lunch, they immediately started preparing for the lunch rush. They sold 100 servings of pork cutlet and cheese cutlet, and 48 plates of tomato pasta before they finally had a little break.
"Boss, we're out of jalapeños."
“Already? What about the cucumber pickles?”
“We still have those, but so many customers are asking for jalapeños. I think we’ll run out today.”
The jalapeños I received from Captain Mulvia and made into pickles were quite popular among the customers.
A perfect match for the bacon tomato pasta, perhaps?
I felt a sense of accomplishment for having worked so hard to grow them.
“I understand. I’ll restock them tomorrow. You’ve all worked hard. Let’s rest until dinner service.”
“Where are you going?”
“For a walk.”
These days, Hae-jun often goes for walks to the nearby park with Mongchi the kitten.
While taking a walk on the farm in the Otherworld meant having time all alone, walking in the city was enjoyable because he could watch people.
Elderly couples, lovers, or young couples with children. He could meet all sorts of people, even those walking their dogs.
Mongchi was by far the most popular among them.
Not only was his fur fluffy and handsome, but a cat taking a walk was such a rare sight that it could have been on TV. So he monopolized people’s attention and popularity.
“A cat is taking a walk?”
“I know that cat. I’ve seen it around a lot lately. It’s a real walking cat.”
“Oh~ Really?”
“Yeah. And do you know Sunflower?”
“The Western-style restaurant that sells pork cutlets? I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never been there.”
“That’s where the mascot cat is. It’s the epitome of chic. It only follows its owner.”
“That’s amazing.”
The people around who recognized Mongchi chattered away. Hae-jun’s shoulders straightened up as they exclaimed in amazement and said how pretty he was. It was more enjoyable than compliments on his food.
As he walked, he reached the park near the SBC Broadcasting Station.
“Should we rest for a bit?”
“Meow~.”
As Hae-jun sat down on a nearby bench, Mongchi jumped onto his lap. Mongchi moved his paws a little to get comfortable and curled up.
The unusual sight drew the attention of the people around them, and Mongchi’s popularity was overwhelming here as well.

“Ah, this is the first time I’ve seen sunlight in ages. Let’s do some photosynthesis. Photosynthesis.”
Ji-eun, the youngest writer for SBC’s Animal Kingdom, was thrilled to be out and about after a long time.
She was dressed casually in gray sweatpants, a hoodie, and slippers, as if she had just gone to the supermarket in front of her house, but in reality, she had been locked up in the 9th-floor Current Affairs and Culture Department for three days.
“Damn it. I'm not even Choi Min-sik from Oldboy, and you're locking me up and making me work all day long.”
Everyone envies broadcast writers, thinking, ‘Oh~ They must be making a lot of money. They must be seeing celebrities all the time when they go to the broadcasting station.’ But the reality is completely different.
Ji-eun also thought that she would become a cool career woman once she entered the broadcasting station.
She imagined herself following the PDs all over the country, hanging out with celebrities, and attending company dinners.
All those scenarios from dramas and movies were nothing but lies.
In reality, the youngest writer at the broadcasting station was no different from a zombie, stuck in the office.
She would come to work early in the morning and work overtime until late at night, overtime, overtime.
Forget about going to the filming set, she was busy making calls for external shoots and interviews from the office. Even that was a luxury.
As the broadcast date approached, she would have to stay up all night for three or four days straight, eating instant noodles and energy bars.
And today, she had finally finished all that hard work and barely managed to escape from the broadcasting station building.
“Maybe I should ask for a team change.”
She muttered as she sucked on her ice cream.
She was getting tired of the animal programs.
She wanted to see some celebrities and go outside.
‘A program like Running Mate would be perfect for that.’
It was a program with fixed S-class celebrities like Kim Jong-wook and special guest appearances by top idols every week.
‘I could invite my favorite idol Hyun Won-bin as a guest, take a picture with him after the recording, and even become friends with him on SNS. Hehe··· Just thinking about it makes me excited.’
Ji-eun was walking towards the broadcasting station while having unrealistic fantasies when she saw a crowd of people gathered in front of her.
“What's going on? What happened?”
When people gather like that, it means something interesting is happening over there.
Ji-eun walked towards them quickly.
“Oh? It's a cat.”
What caught people's attention was a very handsome cat. And it was a cat that was out for a walk.
Ji-eun knew very well that it was unusual for a cat to go for a walk. However, there were times when owners would forcibly take their cats out to attract people's attention. In such cases, the cats would be very anxious and stressed.
But right now, the cat was lying comfortably on its owner's lap and playing around.
‘Walking a cat. That's new.’
Perhaps feeling uncomfortable with the growing number of onlookers, the cat's owner got up from the bench and moved, and the cat followed its owner obediently.
‘Isn’t that a perfect item?’
Even without that, she had one item that she had secured in advance that she had to fill in.
There was no way that Oh Ji-eun, the youngest writer, could just let the item in front of her go.
“Excuse me.”
“Yes? Me? Why are you calling me?”
Oh Ji-eun called out to the cat-walking man.
Up close, the man was a handsome man with broad shoulders and thick biceps, and the cat was also very photogenic.
“It’s just that it’s unusual to see a cat going for a walk.”
“Oh, is it? I’m with Mongchi... Oh, this guy’s name is Mongchi. I take Mongchi for walks a lot, so I don’t know. Is it really that unusual?”
“Of course. It’s something that should be on TV.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Actually, I’m the youngest writer for Animal Kingdom.”
“I see.”
“Are you interested in broadcasting?”
“No. I’m sorry. I’m not interested in broadcasting.”
Cooking in the kitchen was fun, but standing in front of people made him feel awkward.
Hae-jun hurriedly apologized to the woman who said she was a writer and turned away as if he were running away.
“Ah~ What a pity. He’s good-looking and would have been perfect as an item. Hmm... But where have I seen that man before? Where have I seen him?”
***
“Sis. I’m hungry.”
On the way home from school.
Seven-year-old Dong-gu held tightly onto his sister’s skirt and said.
So-hye, who was two years older than Dong-gu, was like a mother to him.
She packed his lunch every time, and she was the one who took him to kindergarten without being late. So-hye, who was only nine years old, was also responsible for washing him and putting him to bed.
“Should I boil you some ramen?”
“Ramen again? I don’t like ramen.”
“Then what? Should I buy you some bread?”
“Not that. I want that!”
Dong-gu pointed to the store in front of his house.
It was a pork cutlet shop that had opened recently. The business was so good that there was always a line of people, and the delicious smell of fried food that filled the alley at mealtimes made him even hungrier.
“I want to eat pork cutlet.”
“Pork cutlet?”
So-hye checked her pocket to see how much money she had left.
Her Dream Tree card was all used up, and all she had left was seven crumpled 1,000-won bills and a few hundred-won bills.
There were still two days to go before her father, who had gone to work in the provinces, returned. If she didn’t save her money carefully, she might starve tomorrow without eating anything.
“Let’s ask Dad to buy us pork cutlet later.”
“Boo-hoo, I want to eat pork cutlet.”
“I’ll buy you a jelly instead.”
“Really? Yay~!”
Dong-gu ran towards the convenience store, excited at the mention of jelly.
It’s a relief that Dong-gu, who was obsessed with jelly, didn’t insist on me buying him pork cutlet.
“Walk slowly. You might get hurt.”
“It’s okay, I won’t get hurt!”
I bought my younger brother a cup ramen and jelly at the convenience store and paid 2,000 won.
‘The cup ramen and jelly cost 2,000 won, so I can use the remaining 5,000 won for breakfast and dinner tomorrow.’
“But why did you only buy one ramen? Aren’t you going to eat, Unnie?”
Dong-gu asked, mumbling with a jelly that looked like an earthworm in his mouth.
“I’m not hungry.”
“Why not?”
“I haven’t digested lunch yet.”
“Really? I’m so hungry.”
“Let’s go home quickly. I’ll make you ramen.”
“Oh? You guys. It’s been a while?”
As So-hye and Dong-gu were about to go home, someone greeted them from behind in a friendly voice.
It was the owner of the pork cutlet shop who had brought them pork belly the other day.
“Oh? Pork cutlet man.”
“Yes. I’m the pork cutlet man.”
“Wow, is this your cat? It’s so cute.”
Dong-gu ran to Mong-chi, saying it was cute.
Mong-chi, the popular cat in this area, laid down elegantly on the floor with an expression that said, ‘Is it this guy again?’
“Can I touch it?”
“Sure. Are you on your way home?”
While Dong-gu was petting Mong-chi and fawning over it, Hae-jun asked So-hye.
“Yes.”
‘Are your parents not home?’
The thought suddenly crossed his mind when he saw the cup ramen in So-hye’s hand.
Come to think of it, she had a somewhat troubled expression on her face when he brought her pork belly last time.
He didn’t notice it then, but now that he thought about it, her eyes seemed to be saying, ‘How am I supposed to eat this?’
‘Her clothes are the same as last time.’
It seemed that her parents were too busy to pay attention to their children.
Judging from the conversation the siblings had before they met him, it seemed that they didn’t even eat their meals properly.
Hae-jun wanted to help the siblings without hurting their feelings.
“Have you guys eaten?”
“No. We’re about to eat?”
“Then, do you want to eat at my restaurant?”
“Why?”
“I made a special menu for children, but I’m not sure if it will be popular. I need someone to help me test it.”
“Wow~ Does that mean we get to eat pork cutlet?”
Dong-gu asked with sparkling eyes.
“Yes. You can eat it and just tell me how it tastes.”
“I can do it! I want to eat it!”
A sudden idea came to him.
Only then did So-hye’s wary eyes soften.
Hae-jun took the siblings to the store.
“Boss, you’re here... Huh? Who are these kids?”
“Oh. I’ve just found some kids to test our new menu.”
“New menu?”
“You know, a set meal for children. They live nearby, and they’re going to help us, right?”
Winking slightly, Min-ju, who had been puzzled, understood immediately.
“Ah~ That kids’ set?”
“Yeah. That one. Set up a table for them. We’ll test it before dinner starts. Kids, play with Mongchi and wait for a while. I’ll be right back.”
He put everything he could on the plate, like a pork cutlet hell assorted pork cutlet.
Pork cutlet, cheese gas next to it, small omelet, and a slice of fatty tuna.
Thinking that he wanted to feed the children to their heart’s content, he ended up with an oversized set that even an adult would have trouble eating.
‘Did I overdo it?’
It was a needless worry.
Dong-gu, who was at the age of growing, ate better than most adults.
When he thought of the fact that he had only eaten a cup of ramen for dinner, he felt a little sad.
“Whew~ I’m full.”
Dong-gu patted his stomach and said after emptying his plate.
There was pork cutlet sauce all over his mouth, and So-hye wiped it off for him.
“Did you enjoy it?”
“Yes.”
“How was it?”
“The best!!”
Dong-gu made a double thumbs-up.
“What about So-hye? Did you enjoy it too?”
“Yes.”
“I’m glad. It will sell well.”
“I think it will sell really well.”
“If I make a new menu later, please come and eat it again.”
“Don’t worry, boss. Just ask us!”
“Okay. Haha. By the way, take this too. It’s a packed lunch, so eat it for breakfast tomorrow and let me know what you think.”
It was a cheap special pork cutlet sandwich for the children.
He had spread butter on the inside of the bread so that it wouldn’t get soggy.
“Thank you.”
“Then I’ll see you again.”
“Yes, boss.”
Hae-jun smiled happily as he watched the siblings leave.
