Dealing with a handsome crazy guy TALK
🍓
After the school rumor that I was dating Kim Taehyung spread wildly, our neighborhood was abuzz for a while. Close friends felt betrayed and begged me to tell them about my encounter with Kim Taehyung, while those who didn't were still whispering.
But that was only for a moment, the words that followed began to disappearIt must be because of Kim Taehyung, who constantly showers me with affection, whether it's at school, the convenience store, the playground, or even at home. At first, everyone was clueless, so there were many who wondered how I had somehow coaxed Kim Taehyung into acting like this. Then, looking at us, no matter how much I looked, it seemed like everyone else could see how Kim Taehyung was always following me around.
Just like now, on the last day of the week, when they chased me to the convenience store where I work and killed me.
“Hey, how long are you going to be there?”
“Until my girlfriend is finished.”
“There’s still over two hours left until it’s over?! Stop talking nonsense and just go home.”
For a while now, Kim Taehyung has been waiting every day, even worrying about his part-time job finishing late. At first, I thought he was crazy, thinking he'd quit soon... but this kid is more persistent than I thought. He's been like this for almost a week now.
"Kim Yeo-ju, people these days are so scary. What if you work here alone and meet someone suspicious?"
“Well, you’re the most suspicious right now…”
No matter how many times I brought it up, the answer I got was always the same. I sighed deeply at Kim Taehyung's behavior, returned to the counter, and started checking my phone. I was catching up on the webtoons I'd been catching up on, changing the music playing in the convenience store, and as I did all sorts of things, time was slowly ticking away, drawing nearer to the end of my part-time job.
For some reason, when there were very few customers, a KakaoTalk message popped up on the screen I was viewing on Instagram. As expected, the sender was Kim Taehyung, sitting in front of me.
After declaring I wouldn't text Kim Taehyung again until my shift was over, I placed my phone face down on the counter and started closing up the POS machine. I didn't want to confuse the next worker. Even as I checked the balance, my blushing ears and cheeks showed no sign of returning to their original color.
“…is it a little hot?”
The weather today was neither hot nor cold. It was just the right temperature, pleasantly pleasant. I knew that the reason I felt hot during the evening, which might have been a little chilly, was because of Kim Taehyung, still staring at me from the same spot.
So I couldn't just fan myself or wave my clothes around. I knew Kim Taehyung would tease me if he saw me. As I shook my head to clear my mind, Kim Taehyung was suddenly in front of me.
“What, what is it…”
"What is it, here's the calculation."
As Kim Taehyung snickered and asked me to pay, I looked down to see two cans of strawberry milk side by side on the counter. As I dipped the cans into the POS machine, I suddenly asked Kim Taehyung a question.
“Kim Taehyung, you don’t drink cola these days, do you?”
“You said it’s bad for your health. Instead of cola, I’ll drink strawberry milk, just like you.”
“…I remember everything.”
I paused for a moment, sipping my strawberry milk, and muttered. I felt like I'd fallen in love all over again with Kim Taehyung, who remembered what I'd said before we'd just become close.
“I’ll buy this. You always buy it for me.”
“I don’t like it.”
"Just take it? I don't want to just receive from you."
“Then something other than strawberry milk.”
“Is there anything you want to eat?”
I refused to accept the bill Kim Taehyung offered me and told him I'd buy it for him today. But he firmly pressed the bill into my hand and refused. Since I hated being the one who just accepted, I stared up at him, wondering if he wanted something else.
Then, Kim Taehyung showed a sly smile with the corners of his lips curled up, and whispered with his lips right next to my ear.
“I don’t really have anything I want to eat…”
“Hey, why are you whispering all of a sudden…!”
“Give me a kiss here later.”
Kim Taehyung continued whispering in my ear, tapping my cheek with his finger. By the time his ticklish breath faded from my ear, my face was bright red. Holding two cans of strawberry milk in one hand, Kim Taehyung opened the convenience store door and waved at me with a bright smile.
“I’ll wait outside, lady.”
I realized that Kim Taehyung's words about waiting outside had two meanings. One was that he was literally waiting until his shift changed, and the other was...
"kiss…?"
The embarrassing words I'd whispered earlier. As soon as I uttered them, I covered my face, which had become even redder than before, with both hands. This was the first time I'd wished the long-awaited end of work would be delayed.
Ten minutes, before I go, I'd like to make one announcement. It's because I recently formed a crew. We're called 'Calliope'... We're a crew that only values writing skills!
What makes us different from other crews is that we recruit year-round, not through a batch recruitment process, and that there is no set schedule, so it is very free🙊 Everyone, please come and read it once and show lots of interest and apply🙌🏻❤️
