Convenience store part-timer
ep. 05 I'm sorry, Yerim
It's been two days since I fought with Yerim
I want to apologize, but Yerim won't listen, so there's nothing I can do.
In the meantime, I...
The college entrance exam is coming up soon, so I need to study
In the evenings, I work part-time and spend my time trying to resolve the fight with Yerim.
I also study in my spare time at the convenience store.
While I was listening to a lecture like that, someone, a guest came in.
Tiring-
김여주
hello!
I took out the earphones from my ears and raised my head to greet the customer.
I saw a low-lying face
김여주
Yes, Yerim..!
박예림
Are you almost done with your part-time job today? Let's go home together later.
김여주
Oh, yeah! I'm eating something.
As soon as I saw Yerim, I thought, oh, we're going to make up today.
When I went to get two lunch boxes, another customer came.
Tiring-
김여주
Hello-!
I ran to the counter to say hello, and oh, there was that strange customer again.
김여주
Hey, hello!!
When I greeted him again, the man said
김태형
What good things are happening today?
Is this it?
김여주
N, yes?
김태형
No, I just wanted the voice to be full of energy.
김여주
Ah haha something like that happened.. haha What should I find for you today?
김태형
Let's take a look first. Now I know the location of the convenience store well.
Jiri, what a novel name
김여주
Yes, please call me if you need me.
I greeted the guests and took two lunch boxes to the corner table at the convenience store.
김여주
Here..! Let's eat this. There's only one hour left.
박예림
Thanks, but anyway... Do you have any guests?
김여주
Oh, huh
박예림
They seemed friendly
김여주
Yeah? Come here often.
From what I'm saying, it seems like Yerim hasn't seen the customer's face yet.
I kept quiet because I was afraid that telling you would ruin the mood.
김여주
Let's eat
박예림
huh
There was an awkward silence for a few minutes,
The voice that broke the silence was the sound of a guest's footsteps.
김태형
Uh... Where are the nail clippers here,,
And then he looked at us
김태형
Oh, did I interrupt you?
He said and I heard Yerim's whispering voice
박예림
That guy is here again...
First, I went to find the nail clippers the customer was looking for.
김여주
Nail clippers are here... in the household goods corner.
김태형
Hmm... I see
김여주
Well then, should I calculate the price for one nail clipper?
김태형
I'll take this, one candy, and two cartons of milk.
김여주
Yes! You know where the candy is...
김태형
The milk is over there, in the fridge next to the one with the alcohol, right?
김여주
Yes, that's right
The customer looked at me proudly, as if he had grown a lot and was no longer the same customer who used to come looking for the ramen.
김여주
Then, if you bring milk, I will pay for it.
김태형
Please do it like this!
김여주
Yes, the total is 8,100 won.
김태형
Oh, and please eat this candy and share the milk with your friend.
김여주
Uh.. I appreciate it.. but.. the milk.. I wonder why.. Oh, of course it's not that I don't like it..!
김태형
image
김여주
yes..?
김태형
I think my friend has an image of me as a bad customer with a bad temper.
김태형
I think it's pretty sweet too
김태형
Eat it with your lunch box
Wow... this guy is crazy...
He's not even my boyfriend...?!
But if I say something like this, I'll die, so be polite to the store manager!
김여주
Oh my, thank you so much. Um... Yes, I will tell my friend. Thank you.
김태형
Yes, goodbye
김여주
Okay, goodbye and see you next time..!
I sent off that strange and slightly crazy guest, put the candy in my sweatpants pocket, and went to Yerim.
김여주
This is milk...! A customer gave it to me. Let's share some.
박예림
You gave me milk..? Why even mine..?
김여주
Oh, you just said you wanted to give it to me
김여주
Let's eat first..!! This tastes really good when you eat it with lunch box milk!
I tried to lighten the mood, but it didn't really help.
김여주
The shift changer will be here in about ten minutes..!
박예림
Okay, I'm tidying up. I'll wait.
After work, I walked with Yerim.
박예림
Yeojuya
김여주
Huh, huh?
박예림
You know, I've been ignoring you lately.
박예림
Do you think it's because of what happened at the convenience store?
박예림
That's true, I was upset about that too, but um... actually, I think it was because you avoided the place.
김여주
....
박예림
You tried to make up in your own way, but I didn't seem ready to receive an apology or give one.
박예림
First of all, I'm sorry for acting rashly at the convenience store when it wasn't even that big of a deal.
박예림
Still, I hope you know how worried I was about you.
박예림
And I'm sorry for ignoring and chewing on what you said.
박예림
I think this is my fault
김여주
......
김여주
......I'm sorry for leaving you too
김여주
I just think I was uncomfortable with that kind of atmosphere.
김여주
My heart doesn't want to fight with you, but we're fighting... I'm sorry, but avoiding you won't make things better, it'll just make things more complicated.
김여주
And I didn't see that customer much at the convenience store, but he didn't seem like a bad person, so I think I was like that more.
김여주
Just... I'm so sorry... sigh... wait a minute...
박예림
M, what are you doing? Why are you crying?
김여주
I don't know... sigh... just a moment
I don't know why I cried back then either.
I think it's just that... many emotions are pouring out at once
And everyone's emotions become richer around dawn.
박예림
Hey... why are you crying?
박예림
If it's because of our relationship now, don't worry
박예림
I said I was sorry, and you said you were sorry, and we both forgave each other.
박예림
We're going to get along just like before, so why are you like this?
김여주
Oh my... I don't know... sigh... Yerim
박예림
huh?
김여주
Let's go home quickly... Let's go home and eat the chicken we couldn't eat last time.
박예림
....
박예림
....lol
김여주
Yeah, why
박예림
As expected, Kim Yeo-juㅋㅋㅋㅋ Chicken is number oneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
김여주
...I'm serious right now?? I couldn't eat chicken back then because I felt like eating it, but I have to eat it now.
박예림
Oh my, oh my, that's right, if that's what Kim Yeo-ju says.
박예림
......
박예림
......If you don't follow me, you'll lose, you idiot!!!!
김여주
What the..!
박예림
You didn't pay, so you're buying chicken.
김여주
How can you do something like this out of the blue!!
박예림
What can I do if someone wants to eat chicken?
김여주
It's fun, fun
김여주
Ah... I'm full
박예림
Chicken is love after all ㅇㅇ
Well, fortunately, things between us seem to be back to how they were before.
I don't know if it's because of the chicken or what
김여주
I'm full, so let's go to sleep now.
박예림
I bet ten thousand won that we'll gain 1 kg tomorrow.
김여주
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I weigh 0.5kg
So, as I was going into my room to sleep, Yerim spoke to me.
박예림
But... isn't the customer who always gives you candy... the one you like?
김여주
What..? That customer..?
It was so sudden
박예림
No, I just heard you talking earlier, and it seemed like that customer had feelings for you.
박예림
That customer is pitiful too. He fell for someone like you who has no knowledge about love.
김여주
Hey, really? No way...? Even so, I didn't know that customer, so... I guess that's not true.
박예림
Is that so..? Is it just a nod?
김여주
Could that be so?
박예림
Sup- No matter how much I think about it, it's that...
박예림
Hey, if things go well with that customer, tell me first?
김여주
No, why am I with that customer...;
박예림
Hahaha good night
김여주
uh
He looked like he didn't care
I keep thinking about Yerim's words
Yerim did the same thing last time too
김여주
....I really have no clue..
No, and Yerim told me to stay away from that customer, didn't she think badly of him..?
I also remembered a conversation I had with a customer at the convenience store at that time.
김여주
...No, no, Kim Yeo-ju. A relationship between a customer and a part-timer is... absolutely not allowed.
Oh, but I guess I have some dating knowledge now.
It was worth watching romance dramas like that every day..!
No, no, don't think about anything else... I mean, there's going to be another guest coming tomorrow.
If I combine Yerim's reasoning, my love knowledge, and the guest's comments, it becomes = The guest likes me..?!
김여주
If the customer likes me... what about me...? Do I like that customer?
Well... I don't know how I feel
I don't think he dislikes that customer.
If your favorability rating is 100, it's love, and if your favorability rating is 5 or lower, it's someone else's... I'm around 25..?
It's not love, nor is it someone else's... But it's not like we can call ourselves friends or something...
김여주
First of all... let's put my thoughts on hold...
Well then, there is only one way left..!
Asking a customer directly if they like you
