As Mari cheers up, Minkyu lets himself relax, and even feel a little bit proud. He cheered her up, right? He did something good for once! Wait until Amelia hears about this! Speaking of which, won't it be hard to convince her to hire Mari, even if he pesters her about it? She's always so uncompromising when it comes to work, that girl has really high standards... but Mari's doing her best! He can just tell!

...Minkyu is very excited right now. If he had real cat ears, they would be perked up attentively. Since he doesn't have them, however, he ends up just smiling and nodding. Mari's good mood is certainly infectious, and Minkyu decides he feels very optimistic about the whole thing. Amelia won't turn her down, right? There must be a favor he can cash in...

And then she starts crying. Minkyu's smile slides off his face, replaced by a worried frown as he panics. Searching for a handkerchief and finding none, he compensates with a tissue and offers it to Mari with a shaking hand. He's horrible with crying girls, so Minkyu thinks it best to end the interview here before anything else embarrassing can happen. Besides, it's getting late. He needs to get back to work. Yeah. (That's a good excuse.)

"Thank you for coming by," he says, putting his notebook away. "Amelia and I will, um, contact you shortly. _{Please stop crying."} he adds quietly. _{"I'm going to go back to working now."} Standing up from his place at the table and re-entering the main room, Minkyu immediately goes to his happy place: behind the counter. Specifically, hiding behind it and pretending he totally just didn't make a girl cry. As he does so, a thought occurs to him. "Uhm, Megan," he mumbles, to get the attention of the hardworking pastry chef beside him. "Is the cat still outside? It's getting late, you should probably bring it home with you _{and also give it a name..."}

"'Scuse me, coming through!"

After ensuring that Dae-hyun wasn't going to lose his way in the back room and knew how to clear tables, Amelia is satisfied and returns to serving customers. Work today is exhausting, but no worries! They've had worse before! Like that one time Minkyu had to dress up and talk to customers because of the rush... It was good for him, but afterwards he got so upset he avoided Amelia for days.

My brother is a sensitive soul, Amelia decides, swiftly descending upon tables to clear them of dishes. Hopefully I haven't pushed him too hard with that interview... nah, that girl's worse than he is. They'll be fine. Actually, would that be a cute couple or what? Amelia considers it for a moment... then shakes her head, rids herself of any ideas concerning Minkyu's love life, and goes back to work. Poking her head into the kitchen (or, as she calls it, "March's Kingdom"), she notes that while a little strange, Dae-hyun is easygoing and gets along with everyone. He'll do well in customer service! (She's a genius.)

"Dae-hyun, let's not distract the cook, shall we?" she teases, more cheekily than anything, smiling wide to get her point across. "Just kidding, just kidding. March, don't make a mess of your uniform, okay?" Once again satisfied with her checkup of the kitchen and March's workload (not horrible, but a dishwasher would be useful), she waltzes out of the kitchen, plates in hand. Sharp eyes catch sight of Jet having some trouble with a particularly touchy customer, and so she expertly wedges herself in between the two to save Jet some trouble.

"Ma'am, let's not cause any trouble for the wait staff," she says cheerfully, but banking on the fact that her endless smiles sometimes get scary. Pointing to a notice on the wall, Amelia not-so-gently stares the patron down. "Touching the servers is strictly forbidden. Jet, why don't you take that man's order?" How to de-escalate a conflict: separate the problems and deal with them one by one.

Minkyu once called her a "force of nature", and as far as Amelia's concerned, he's right. Handling interpersonal relationships is difficult, but Amelia was basically born for this. This is the perfect job for her... Minkyu, not so much, but he's taken in all in stride.

(But he's still her baby brother. Always.)
