Shinohara Kouta is promised a chance to own a new cake shop, but only if he helps out at his boss’ friend’s cafe for six months. Douzaki Kakeru is left grudgingly in charge of his father’s cafe after said father falls terribly sick. Business is close to non-existent, Kakeru can’t be bothered to give a fuck about the cafe other than actually brewing decent coffee, and Kouta has Issues. But sometimes things can be a piece of cake if you let them be.
Hika’s cafe AU slice of life that she started in November as a challenge for Nanowrimo that she surprisingly found herself enjoying. Of course, she didn’t manage to finish it in November.
