*Kyoko stayed focused on pipping the smooth butter cream on an elegant slice of layered marble. Her eyes stayed trained on the sheer layer of vanilla, pipping out small ribbons before her focus was cut off by the loud clattering of saws going off

Her eyebrow perked up and she paused her doings. After a moment of silence, she went back to work. Her brow quivered when the sawing got even louder, followed by the sound of hard hammering*

“Jesus Christ Kyoko grumbled under her breath Rintaro! Can you close up the shop’s door!”

A muffled voice rang out through the kitchen’s door. Rintaro, having gotten the message, set fourth to close up the shops doors

He exhaled softly, and nudged the doors to make sure they were properly shut. When his eyes caught sight of the new building the were establishing?

He shrugged it off as a new business opening up. He could make out a common family, and a teen around his age with their back facing him

With a hum, he walked back to continue forth with his work ——————————————————————————

After four months though…

He noticed a black logo upheld on the building their neighbors had just moved into

What does it—

Bakery

The word on the logo caught his eye, making a frown tug at his lip. “Can’t be.” He stuffed his hands into his jeans and wandered over with squinted eyes. This could be bad for the family business..

When he saw the name close up, his suspicions were confirmed. This was a bakery. He peered in through the glass at the racks of breads and desserts. His eyes also caught sight of the young teen from before, the side of their face now exposed. They wore a tiny apron, and were clearly on the job

He cracked a small smile
