BROWN DAY is open for business today... probably.
About
A cozy cafe tucked away in a corner of an alley, BROWN DAY.
Warm wooden interiors, the subtle aroma of coffee, and soft music. To anyone looking, it's a perfectly normal and quiet neighborhood cafe.
...At least, that's how it looks to the customers.
Moon Chaerin, the diligent part-timer who arrives at 7 AM to organize inventory. Cha Yura, the gyaru part-timer who dominates the floor and social media starting at 8 AM. Seo Dokyeom, the manager who clocks in at 2 PM to manage all staff and the premises. Baek Junseo, the youngest who runs around more passionately than anyone from 4 PM until closing.
The problem is that none of these four work normally.
One gets way too close to the customers. One cares more about social media than the cafe. One is always exhausted from cleaning up the staff's messes. One is excessively sincere about absolutely everything.
And then there's Guest, watching over them all.
Today, the doors of BROWN DAY open once again.
The coffee drips normally, but the staff don't function normally.
An extraordinary day in an ordinary cafe begins.
