Chapter 12: Target (2)

I could see her gaze lowering slightly.

I think I learned a little bit about her. Suyeon was the type of woman attracted to a man with a good body. If so, then I should bring out my best qualities.

“Oh, really? Are you joking around with me?”

“Hey, don’t think of me like that. Why would I deceive you?”

“Haaa… I’ve had enough of deceiving men.”

I seem to have been subtly proving her. I adjusted my tune slightly.

“Ah, my back is killing me.”

As I stood in the counter, I feigned a grunt and stretched my hands high in the air, causing my toned stomach to be revealed.

Suyeon froze in bewilderment.

“Gee, Oppa. Why are you showing off?”

“Surprised?” I smiled. “Haha, it’s a joke, a joke.”

“Oppa, you can’t make fun of an innocent student like that.”

As we talked casually, I learned how to work the machine at the counter. It was my first time, but I soon got the hang of it.

I chatted with Suyeon, laughing a lot. I didn’t realize time passed by so quickly. It was already 4 o’clock.

“It’s already time…” Suyeon looked at her watch with a solemn look.

That must mean that her conversation with me was enjoyable, right?

“You’re funny, Oppa. I misjudged you.”

“Me?”

“Yes. You never spoke to me before, so I thought you didn’t like to talk.”

Lee Dohoon must have been rude to her. I hurriedly made an excuse and said, “I’m a bit shy, you see. Since I see you often, I think I’m more comfortable around you now.”

“Ah, I’m glad if that’s the case. By the way, Oppa, if you ever need a helping hand, please tell me. You helped me a great deal, so I want to return the favor.”

Nice!

This was a good opportunity to get her number.

“Umm… then could you give me your phone number?”

“Number?”

“Yes. You can contact me in advance if you ever need any help. I’ll do the same too.”

“Ah…”

With a shy expression on her face, Suyeon held out her phone. As I typed my contact number, I suddenly felt something amiss.

I made a mistake. This is Lee Jungwoo’s number. Hey, what is Lee Dohoon’s number?

[It is 010-xxx-xxxx.]

I typed the number as indicated and pressed the call button. Her number appeared on my smartphone. This was a good start. I got her number.

“Oppa, I’ll be going now.”

“Mmn. Be careful. Don’t forget to go to the wedding, eat a lot of delicious food, and take care of the person who will become your brother-in-law.”

“I already saw him. My sister introduced me to him the other day.”

“Oh? Is he handsome?”

“Umm… he looks nice.”

“Nice? Isn’t it enough to have a nice body?”

“Oppa! It’s really not like that!”

She tapped my forearm with a small punch. She looked very cute.

“Anyway, I’ll go first now! See you tomorrow, Oppa.”

“Mmn. Have a good day.”

I stared at Suyeon’s back for a long time. As she walked out of the store, she glanced back and waved at me vigorously. She was a really cute girl.

I looked at my smartphone and saved her name.

Jeon Suyeon, Convenience Store Glasses Girl

Do you think she has a crush on me?

[It’s impossible to give an exact answer.]

There’s no feature like that?

[You’ll need a window skill to check your opponent’s status.]

Didn’t you say that I need to complete this mission to get a skill?

After that, I checked out the customers alone. It was my first time working part-time at a convenience store, but it wasn’t too difficult. All I had to do was stand at the counter and scan the customers’ items.

I was hesitant at first when asking them for a point discount or a buy one get one free product, but after doing it a few times, I quickly got the hang of it.

Working at a convenience store isn’t too difficult.

At 5 pm, a truck suddenly stopped in front of the store. A man in uniform similar to mine walked in with a large box.

“The items ordered are here, so please check the quantity,” the man said.

“Yes? I didn’t order that…”

The truck driver smiled with an absurd expression. “Of course you didn’t. You’re a student. The order has been placed by the boss. What happened to the other person? Has the job changed?”

This was usually the time when Suyeon was at work. He seemed to be curious why the other person wasn’t here.

“Ah, no. The other part-timer had to leave for personal reasons today. I’m just taking over for now.”

“I see. You just need to look at the written order form, check the quantity, and arrange it on the shelf. There are a lot of things to do today.”

The large box was full and brimmed with dozens of items. There were so many things to check. It would take a while. Am I supposed to sort this all out myself?

“Is there something wrong? If not, go on.”

“Yes.”

Organizing things was no easy task. I wasn’t sure where to place them on the shelf. It was a bit confusing. Meanwhile, customers kept coming in and out, and the high school students didn’t even bother cleaning up the mess they made in the break room. The bathroom was a bit messy too; I had to clean it all up.

There were also a variety of cigarettes and each person wanted a different cigarette. The customers waiting at the checkout were annoyed.

It had only been two hours but my time spent was chaotic. I changed my mind about working at a convenience store as a part-timer.

It’s not easy being a part-timer in this field. I don’t even have time to use the bathroom. What if I end up leaking?

If it weren’t for the condition to live Lee Dohoon’s life faithfully, I’d have long quit. Living as Lee Jungwoo who had a comfortable salary, I felt like it was a waste of time to spend life with a mere hourly wage of only 6,000 won.

I can’t spend my entire life working a part-time job… hey, watch.

[Yes, master.]

Didn’t you say that my part-time work ends at the end of the month?

[That’s right.]

Then it doesn’t matter what kind of work I do to make money next, right?

[Yes, unless you cause a big problem.]

My next part-time job should be as a tutor. Physical work doesn’t fit me and the time efficiency is too low.

As I was drowning in my thoughts, an old woman came to the store.
