Chapter 439 – What’s Up…?
“Manager, don’t you think something is strange today…? “
“······Don’t ask me. “
The time past the morning commute peak time…
Yesterday, Sojungi and the store manager’s brief affair passed by, and today, it seems like every day, but the atmosphere was depressing for no reason.
Sojungi hadn’t maintained such a friendly attitude in front of the store manager since yesterday, and the store manager hadn’t said a word to Sojeongi since saying goodbye to her at work.
“Something seems to have changed the atmosphere… Did you do something like partial dyeing…? “
“Are you complimenting another girl in front of your girlfriend at a cafe…? “
“It’s not like that, even if you look at it, there were a lot of strange things today…”
“I don’t know. I won’t care anymore…”
In addition, during peak hours, he was originally a seasoned store manager who would quickly make and send out 2-3 orders at a time by himself, but today, for some reason, he was sluggish. Yesterday too, during the lunch peak, you stuttered a bit… Maybe you didn’t like it…?
“Why don’t you care… He’s the one who gives us money…”
“Oppa, if you keep siding with the manager, I’ll get angry…”
No, if it’s on the side and there’s a problem with work apart from self-going, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for Sojeong…?
“Listen carefully… There’s still a peak at lunchtime… If you continue like this, it won’t only be you who will have a hard time… I haven’t adjusted properly yet either…”
“If you know that well, oppa will have to get used to this machine…”
He secretly hits me with facts…
“If you’re uncomfortable, I’ll tell you once and then come back…”
” ······Brother. Shall we just stop here? “
” Suddenly···? “
Aren’t you rushing in too much…?
“I think it’s because I still have memories of my part-time job in this world when I was in high school… Even if the president, who was the truth, was cold with me once in a while, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone so blatantly hostile to me… I think things will go wrong… I also don’t want to cause damage to my brother by making them burst into flames…”
“We haven’t even been a month yet…? And even after classes started, the store manager decided to take care of the convenience, so we said together that we would stay together…”
“Haa… Oppa… This isn’t a full-time job, it’s just a part-time job… And deep down, I think the manager also wants me to go out on my own… I don’t know why he suddenly changed his attitude… Did you see that he takes care of his appearance like a person who doesn’t use a coat of arms…”
Was it…?
Ah, dye!
“Isn’t it strange to see a person who had only basic makeup for the first week suddenly dressed up almost like a fulme…? “
” Come to think of it··· “
Certainly, the manager’s appearance today was no joke.
Originally, the original version was a pretty older sister who looked mature, but today she was so fucking pretty that people on the way to work looked at the store manager, not Sojungi…
“Brother… By any chance… Isn’t it…? “
” Huh? What? “
As I thought about the store manager for a while, Sojung pinched my side and came to my senses.
“Haa… Aren’t you trying to seduce me again…”
“When do I seduce someone…”
“How many people are there now…”
Having said that, I have nothing to say…
My mouth was closed because it was so true.
“I don’t like being a troublesome woman… But I’m also angry because I’m a human… I’m the closest to you in this world, so I didn’t have much complaint… These days, I’m a bit anxious too…”
” Sorry··· “
” That’s Okay···. It’s been a while since the peak ended, so I must be in a very dizzy state… You shouldn’t be angry with your brother…”
Certainly, the number of women has increased with the octopus-footed style these days. It wasn’t all my intention, but looking at the results, it became a dizzying situation, so there’s nothing to say about this even with ten mouths…
“I can stick with my brother for such a long time, but I can’t give up on this sweet part-time job! If I go, only cold reactions will come back, so I’ll write a chance for oppa! “
“Isn’t the change of attitude too quick…? “
“It’s all because of you…! “
When she slapped her own cheeks with her hands, she returned to her lively self, her tension rising, and she asked me to talk to her manager.
It was finally my break time, so I was able to have a private conversation with the manager who was resting in the break room… Originally, Sojeong and the manager were supposed to be together during my break time, but I felt that Sojeongie would be uncomfortable if only the two of us were left, so why did I suddenly ask Sojeongi to do that? I decided to have a conversation about the attitude.
” Huh? I’m here? “
“Yes, wait a minute…! “
As I entered her staff break room, I stopped her as she stood up from her manager’s seat staring at her cell phone and went out to her cafe hall.
” Why? “
“I have something to tell you…”
“Is it long? If I left him alone, he would be making a rotten face again…”
I think the girl here refers to Sojeongie… The reason why Sojungi’s expression was rotten was because of the manager’s attitude of just saying goodbye without mentioning what happened yesterday… Besides, the pleasantness I saw at first seems to have disappeared. …
“I came after talking with Sojeong…”
” Okay? Say it··· “
Fortunately, the store manager sat down again and faced me.
“Has Sojeongi done something wrong to the store manager…? “
“Why is that all of a sudden? “
“No… That’s right. At first, the store manager treated me very nicely, but suddenly his tone of voice changed… So So Jung is feeling sad inside too…”
“What’s wrong with that…? He is serious about playing a little bit, but what is he going to do with his social life in the future? “
“The situation was a little different yesterday… Sojeongi suffered more than usual because the manager was late… I think I would be stern if he came late and treats me as someone who doesn’t have words to take care of only me…? “
” ······Are you really saying everything you want to say? “
Isn’t this…?
It’s her first part-time job, so I thought she could just say it openly if there was anything uncomfortable about her, but I guess this isn’t the case…
” I do not know either··· “
” Yes···? “
Soon after, the manager let out a big sigh, looked at the door, then looked back at my face and slowly opened his mouth.
“I just hate it all of a sudden… Since I was born, I’ve never shown off to a person I hate so much… Since yesterday, I feel strangely annoyed just by looking at his face…”
“Are other people okay? Only a certain amount? “
“Hmm… It feels like something in my head is giving me orders… I don’t even hate it… I just naturally hate it…? “
“Isn’t there something wrong…? “
“I see… Really, you and the guests are all right, right? But just looking at Sojeong’s face gave me goosebumps because she hated her more than cockroaches…”
That’s it…?
Her condition seemed more serious than she thought. Little by little she started to worry about her.
I was a very professional sympathizer…
I didn’t understand what kind of condition she was in at all… But when she compared it to a cockroach, it struck a chord with her.
“I can’t cut my hair because I’m going to take a break soon and visit a psychiatrist, so please tell Sojungi well, okay…? Please suffer for a while…”
” Yes···. Do your best, manager…”
But if the store manager takes time off, who will come as a substitute…? Since this is not a chain store, there are no employees to be dispatched from the head office…
Should I just take a day off?
Like that, the store manager leaves the break room first and goes to work with Sojeongi and the two of them… Did I get it wrong…? I think the store manager had a very unpleasant face with the corner of his mouth rising just now…
Anyway, my break time was over and Sojeong’s break time was approaching and I was about to change… I heard a voice rising a little from the counter.
“If I tell you to do this… Will you not understand me once I tell you…? “
” Sorry···. “
There was still quite a bit of time left until lunchtime, so I wondered if the store manager would teach Sojeong another recipe for a drink during the leisurely time… I don’t know why, but Sojeong lowered her head and got scolded.
“Has it already been 30 minutes? Don’t rest until you get this right…”
” Yes··· “
No, I’m answering that again with ‘yes’…
“Why Sojung? “
“I forgot what I told you the other day, so the order went to the customer by mistake… Haa… I thought she was smart, but why did she suddenly do that? “
It hurt my heart to see Sojung-i depressed in the corner… But I thought I would only harm her if I unknowingly hugged her, so I decided to shut up for now.
The atmosphere was shit as well, but seeing as my sister looking at the counter from the other side was also looking at it with pity, it seemed to be broken apart…
I’ll have to listen to what’s going on later…
