The café was buzzing with warmth and laughter.
The night had been magical.
Famous celebrities, powerful businessmen, and the kind-hearted villagers had all shared the same space, not as strangers, but as friends.
It was a night to remember.
And the three boys—Haru, Leo, and Riku—weren't ready to let it end just yet.
A Special Request
Jun, standing beside Renji, hesitated before speaking.
"Sir… You need to go now."
Renji, the ever-serious businessman, glanced at his assistant.
But before he could respond—
"Sir, wait!"
Haru, Leo, and Riku ran up to him, grinning from ear to ear.
"We have one last request!"
Renji raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
Haru beamed. "Take a picture with us!"
Renji's expression stiffened.
A picture? Him?
He wasn't used to things like this.
But before he could refuse—
"Come on, sir, just one photo!" Leo insisted.
"Yeah! You canceled all your meetings today just to be with us," Riku added with a playful grin. "That means you must like us a little bit, right?"
Renji sighed. Defeated.
"Fine."
A Moment to Remember
Riku suddenly switched into his "cool" mode.
He turned to a model sitting nearby and said, "Ma'am, could you please give me your camera?"
The model laughed and handed it over.
Riku then clapped his hands together.
"EVERYONE! LET'S TAKE A GROUP PHOTO!"
The entire café—customers, staff, celebrities, businessmen—cheered.
They all gathered together, posing in the most ridiculous, fun, and creative ways.
Some threw peace signs.Some made funny faces.Some just smiled brightly.
And in the middle of it all, Renji stood stiffly… until Jun nudged him.
"Sir, at least smile a little."
Renji let out a small sigh… and then, finally, a tiny, genuine smile appeared on his lips.
Click!
The camera captured the moment.
A picture full of laughter, warmth, and an unforgettable memory.
A Place on the Wall of Memories
The boys printed the photo immediately.
Then, with great care, they placed it on the café's wall.
It joined hundreds of other photos— memories of happy moments, customers who became family, and stories that would never be forgotten.
Leo looked at the wall and grinned.
"Sir, now you're part of our café forever."
Renji stared at the photo for a long time.
For the first time in years, he felt something strange.
Something warm.Something… happy.
He didn't say anything.
But as he turned to leave, the corners of his lips curled up—just slightly.
And the boys knew.
He'd be back.
