explain to me plz...

Answer 1

the "host" means that all people in there are so beautiful and the costumer were paid to them and they serve them like a lover but that's not forever and some of them are only having fun, like the twins.

But Haruhi thought at first that they served them for free but she discovered it later and they also saled somethings that belongs to the host club to the fans. In the manga there is a chapter that the twins stole ( i think this truth because they said that they are only found in the ground) a mechanical pencil of Haruhi that Haruhi thought that she lost them but she discovered it when her pencil was already sold out and then Haruhi got angry and all the members of host club ( except for kyoya) are froze up and got scared.

Answer 2

In Japan, they have a bunch of host clubs where the employees (also known as hosts) basically flirt and please their customers.
