From Mastering the Culinary Arts to Becoming an All-Round Star Chaser [Showbiz]

[Complete] [Note up front: This is a gentle, everyday story about going from opening a shop and supporting idols to starting a company! The romance is minimal early on, and there won't be much drama overall. It's a sweet little treat!] Anzhou had money and free time, but before opening her shop, she'd never had a dream. No one had ever expected her to have goals. Well protected and a little naive, Anzhou still wanted to build a career of her own. And so a restaurant called Neverland opened on an ordinary street corner. Anzhou had chosen to go abroad to get away from the headache of dividing up her family's restaurant inheritance, but she'd never imagined her life would be turned upside down. It took her a long time to realize that ever since her shop had become popular with trainees, more and more entertainers had been coming in as customers. It was almost at the point where the owner would have to debut too, just to fit in with the restaurant's atmosphere. And the owner's own attitude? Anzhou said that supporting idols was already keeping her insanely busy. There was no way she was going to debut, absolutely no way. Her dream now was to work two days and rest five! The regulars all agreed that the owner couldn't debut. Hadn't they noticed the big star beside her keeping a close watch? - Have you heard of Neverland? See that shop with the wind chime on the street corner? Go on, push the door open. You might run into the legendary owner. She'll smile and ask if you'd like some sweet milk tea and a little cake on this lovely day. - All character names are homophones, not typos. The main story focuses on running a restaurant and cooking, with a lighthearted tone and staying in business as the goal. The pairing with Brother Long is set, but the main story is still all about serving delicious food~ The following are upcoming stories 1. [ Korean Showbiz ] Stars, Wheat Fragrance, and Wildflowers [A sweet everyday story about a professional dancer switching careers and meeting a professional idol. It won't be very long, and the goal is a sweet, happy life.] With a little bag and a suitcase in hand, Lixiya boarded a flight to a foreign land, hoping only to change her surroundings and get through her creative block. But, quite unexpectedly, she was somehow scooped up and signed to an agency. Her career seemed to have taken a strange turn. Acting? Dance troupe and theater troupe are only a character apart. I can do it! Singing? Dancing and singing go together. I'm sure I can do it! Her career kept Lixiya so busy that she had no time to think about her ex-boyfriend, who had cheated on her with four, five, six, seven, even eight people. She didn't have time to think about anything at all. Then she finally came to her senses. Lixiya looked at the young man beside her, lost in thought. So boyfriends really can just appear out of nowhere? What a magical Eastern world. [Pairing undecided, to be decided among fourth- and fifth-generation groups.] [Uses some of the same background as An'an's story next door, where she started a company and helped Seventeen go solo. You don't need to have read it to follow this one.] 2. [Stop Asking Who I'd Bring to a Desert Island Survival Show] [Entertainment Industry] Whether it was a self-produced variety show or a guest appearance on someone else's program, there always seemed to be one question you couldn't avoid. If you were stranded on a deserted island, who would you bring with you? You had to answer, and after being asked the same question several times, you had to come up with a fresh answer. That was a necessary skill for variety shows. But who knew that one day this question would actually come true! Do you have magical long hair? Someone touched their recently dyed two-tone hair. Do you have magical hands? Someone looked at their hands, which could peel carrots like they were exfoliating. Can you talk to animals? Someone thought of the member in their group who was especially beloved by animals. Has anyone ever woken you with a kiss? Someone remembered that there was always one kiss-obsessed member in the group. Has anyone ever thought that you overcame every difficulty thanks to a man? A maknae thought of the reality of being "loved" by a bunch of older brothers. Kidnapped and enslaved? Someone recalled the past and said, "Is this really something a hyung should be doing?" "Oh! You're princesses, all right! Magical princesses! Can you sing to the sea and sing up some fish?" "First, let's figure out how to make fire by rubbing sticks together, then we'll go fishing." Someone always had to be the sensible one, and sensibly start going crazy. Desert island survival starts now. By day, they're rushing around the world for schedules. At night, they go to bed and start building up the deserted island. One day, fans realize that the groups they stan have somehow developed a friendship they can't make heads or tails of. Boy groups: Don't ask. We agreed to build Minecraft tonight. Don't bother us, we're figuring out how to get from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age. Whose concept was pirates again? Someone come rescue us! We could start with the Age of Discovery instead. We've already gotten sick of the coconuts on this island! Each group starts out with one island. Who'd have thought their golden fingers would refresh randomly, always with the concept of their latest comeback? For example, one day, after landing on the deserted island, Sweet Wine Fruit found she'd unlocked a new skin: the classic Hawaiian Little Gray Wolf skin. For example, one day, after landing on the deserted island, someone found SKZOO sitting in a row on the beach, with Quokka leading them as cheerleaders. For example, one day, after landing on the deserted island... - *A brainwave from a K-pop boy group fan who loves them all. *The worldbuilding is chaotic, and any ships that could possibly have existed among the groups might appear. *Mainly fourth- and fifth-generation boy groups starting survival and construction from scratch. *Original inspiration: the Japanese variety show Tetsuwan Dash. Theme: Passion helps us become better versions of ourselves.
