Chapter 67 – 067 Why Are You Out There?
“Hello. Manager. I’m here.”
“Ah! Welcome. Mr. Woojin. I was worried that you wouldn’t come, but you did.”
“There’s no way you can run away. I work with such a pretty person.”
“Ah, how about making a mouth-watering noise as soon as you see it.”
I waved my hand, but it wasn’t a hateful expression.
Actually, it was a very cheesy sound, but flattery came out naturally, probably because I had a steel plate these days.
Han Chae-ah, who smiled for a moment at my words, changed to a serious expression again.
And, as if they were going to move on to the first store soon, they quickly started to tell them what to pay attention to.
“I won’t talk about it for a long time since I said I’m a career person. As you all know, please take care of cleaning, display, and billing today.”
“That’s easy enough. Don’t worry.”
“Heejin will tell you the details. If there’s something you don’t understand, call me right away.”
After going around her room and inspecting everything, she continued to speak quietly as she moved away from the counter.
“And our Heejin has only been learning her job for three weeks, so she might get lost, so please take good care of her.”
“All right.”
It’s good that she cares for her little brother, but I don’t know if this is something to say to a part-time job student who first came to work.
They said there was a 7-year age difference, so I understand it to some extent.
Are you a siscom?
After thinking for a while, Han Chae-ah added a word of her own.
“I’ll stop by later when I get off work. I’ll put in today’s wages then. And if the store is in good condition, maybe there’s a bonus?”
“I’ll do my best. Don’t worry.”
“Then I’ll believe you. See you later~”
The store manager left, leaving only me and Han Hee-jin in this spacious convenience store.
I approached her and asked about her schedule.
“Hello. Could you tell me the order of work or the arrival time of the goods?”
“Ah..Yes.. It’s 6 o’clock now, so it’s time for a lot of people.. Just help me with the calculation.
“All right.”
T-ring T-ring.
As soon as the words were finished, a guest came in.
He came straight to the counter and pointed behind me.
“Okay, one pack in advance, please.”
She immediately took a barcode and told me her price.
“It’s 4500 won.”
After the payment was finished and the customer left, Han Hee-jin looked at me.
Then, she pressed the force machine and started explaining.
“Did you see the calculation just now? If this is a card, press this button and press this… It just calculates, cash…”
I tried to say it was okay because I had mastered it for a long time, but I just watched her hesitantly as she explained it was cute.
It was worth watching as she pressed it over and over again, afraid that her own explanation might be wrong.
Usually, they say that they are busy learning for about two weeks, but that didn’t apply to me.
It’s because it’s the same brand as the place where I worked part-time in the past, so the force machine and work order were all the same.
As I listened with one ear, the explanation was finally over.
“You know roughly, right? I’ll keep counting, so make sure you learn what to press.”
“All right.”
For about two hours after that, quite a few customers came in.
People who buy lunch boxes, people who buy daily necessities, people who buy cigarettes, etc.
Since the surrounding area is a studio studio area of a university, college students were the main customers.
Now, as it is night and her guests’ footsteps have dwindled, for the first time she entrusted me with her reckoning.
Change positions and wait for a while.
The bell rang.
T-ring T-ring.
“Welcome.”
When a guest came in, Heejin Han and I greeted each other at the same time.
In fact, it wasn’t welcome at all, but it was an automatic action like a machine.
While I was bruising, the customer who had just entered brought something.
My hand automatically found and took a barcode, and my mouth read the numbers on the screen as they were.
“It’s 1900 won.”
When the calculation was over, my mouth moved on its own again.
“Goodbye.”
When the customer left, Han Hee-jin, who was watching from her side, spoke with a curious expression.
“Hey, you seem to be doing better than me.”
“It’s because I worked part-time for 6 months before. I’ve already completely cut myself.”
“I heard about it from my sister, but I think I should learn more.”
About two years ago, the six-month experience I had before enlisting in the military was the moment when I saw the light.
She, who had been trying to explain earlier, pointed at her warehouse with a shy, timid attitude.
“I’m missing some stuff now, so please help me with the display. I’ll be in charge of the cashier and help out whenever I can.”
“All right.”
I looked around from the front of the shelves to check what was missing, then went into the warehouse.
With an area of about 10 pyeong, the warehouse was surprisingly spacious as the store was large.
About half were filled with alcohol and beverages, and it was easy to find things because they were neatly organized by corner.
I put whatever I remembered in the basket in the corner and went out to the store.
As we started displaying them one by one, Han Hee-jin at the counter said quietly.
“You know that… First in, first out?”
“Of course. Don’t worry.”
“Ah…Ah, yes.”
After being quiet again, she came out of the counter probably bored.
And I went into the warehouse and took out the missing items and started displaying them.
The sound of rustling without a word filled the convenience store.
It was still my first day, so I only worked quietly to understand the atmosphere.
“I’m going to do some cleaning now.”
“Oh, yes. The mop is in the bathroom inside the warehouse.”
When I went back to the warehouse and took a closer look, there was a small bathroom that I hadn’t seen before.
Inside, there was a sink for washing the mop, a sink, and a toilet compartment.
It was recently remodeled, so it was quite clean.
I took a mop, drenched it in water, and went out to the store.
As I was scrubbing the floor, there was Han Hee-jin squatting on the floor and organizing things.
She passed around her and looked down.
Hip bone visible through jeans.
It looked deeper in contrast to the white skin.
Pretending that the surroundings were dirty, I stopped and scrubbed the mop, keeping my eyes fixed on my hips.
It was definitely a different texture because of the foreign genes.
I resisted the urge to put my hand in her and finished the cleaning slowly.
As she entered the counter, she came to my side as if she had finished her work.
As we sat together in a chair and passed the time, it was 10:00 before we knew it.
If you hold on for one more hour, it’s time to get off work.
Since it was time for work, I suddenly got curious and asked Han Hee-jin.
“I have a question for you. When do you get off work?”
“I…If my sister comes to pick me up, I’ll go home with you.”
“If you’re coming to pick me up… At 11 p.M.?”
“Yes. We go to work at 2:00 PM together, so we go home after working for just 9 hours.”
“So you’re working seven days a week?”
“No. I rest on Sunday and Monday. I go to work the rest of the time.”
“I see. I work 5 days a week.”
It seemed like they had a very systematic schedule.
When I stopped talking again, I looked at the store and hit a bruise.
Tick tock.
Time doesn’t pass 1 hour before work time.
It feels like someone intentionally stopped the watch.
Han Hee-jin was on her cell phone, but I couldn’t do it because it was the first day.
As I turned around and memorized the location of the cigarette, a bell rang at the door.
T-ring T-ring.
Light blue sweatpants with gray short sleeves.
Then a woman in a black hat came in.
Dressed like a secret agent.
I was bored, so I started looking at the woman who had just entered.
As soon as she came in, she went to a certain corner and she stood there for a while.
Since it was not visible from the counter, I turned my head to the cctv.
Brown wavy hair and moderately large breasts were clearly displayed on the screen.
A familiar, familiar look.
When I saw the cctv, Han Hee-jin, who was looking at her phone, looked at the screen together as if asking what was going on.
She checked the appearance of her female guest and she said a little to herself.
“That sister came again. Is that the same today?”
I remembered that he was a peculiar person.
I asked in a low voice.
“Do you know someone?”
“I don’t know anyone, but um.. I guess they’re just a guest that sticks in my head? They’re so pretty. And the things I buy.”
Han Hee-jin is pretty enough to be called pretty.
Curiosity grew.
As we waited with great anticipation, a customer brought something and put it on the counter.
Then, with her head lowered, she quietly took her card out of her pocket and inserted it into the reader.
I picked up the barcode machine and looked at the items that were raised.
As soon as I saw it, I immediately understood.
Condom.
2 boxes too.
To be honest, even when I was working part-time in the past, women often bought condoms, so I was used to it.
But this time it was a little different.
One box of XL size regular condoms and one box of condoms.
I said while taking a barcode.
“Guest. I’ll check your ID.”
“Yes!? No.. I didn’t do it the other day..”
As soon as I heard the voice, I immediately remembered who it was.
I never thought we’d meet like this.
“Anyone can buy regular condoms, but these spiked condoms are for adults and require ID.”
“Ah… I see.”
I deliberately emphasized projections and adults when I spoke.
The customer in front of me quickly took out his wallet from his pocket and handed over his ID.
Looking at the picture, there was a face I expected.
I suppressed a laugh and spoke again.
“Could you take off your hat too? I need to verify it’s you.”
For a moment, the guest shuddered at him, then raised his hand and slowly took off his hat and raised his head.
As we exchanged glances, I could see the person’s eyes widen in real time.
“Ah…Ah! What…What…! Why are you here…!?”
“Hello. Long time no see.”
“Why… Are you here? Surely…! You weren’t there last week…?”
“I started my first part-time job today. It wasn’t there last week.”
Yoon Hye-yoon pointing at me with a very embarrassed face.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen her, so she looked prettier.
By the way, last week
This was a habitual offender.
Plus size XL? Did you buy a new dildo?
“From today…Albarani…”
Yoon Hye-yoon lowers her head again and avoids her eyes, and I smile happily.
A strange air flowed across the counter, forgetting that Han Hee-jin was by her side.
