Delusional Circuit of Megalomania

First love Han Dong-min

Han Dong-min's first love will be someone older than him.

That too, if it's Han Dong-min, who has the conditions to easily become the target of a quick-witted woman.

한동민

Welcome..

김여주

Hi, Dongmin~^^

한동민

…

It's that guy again.

For about a month, a guest has been coming every morning at 2 AM.

Now that she knows my name, “Hi, Dongmin” has become her greeting.

김여주

Dongmin, you know about Dunhill 3Mri, right?

He naturally came up to the counter and stuck his face out to me, as if he had entrusted me with cigarettes.

한동민

Oh, yes

I was handing her the cigarette she was talking about.

김여주

Thank you~

Dunhill 3ml, she is a woman with a very unique taste in cigarettes.

Dunhill is a fairly old cigarette, and its customers are mainly middle-aged and older men. Among them, Dunhill 3ml is one of those cigarettes that is sold only once a day and just collects dust on the shelf.

I've never smoked before, so I don't know what her cigarette tastes like.

Because he didn't smell like anything for a smoker, he was odorless and had no scent, which is typical.

She was a woman who didn't even smell like the strong perfume she sprayed to cover up the smell of cigarettes.

김여주

Oh, right

She picked up a few small snacks from the counter and placed them on the counter.

3 Chupa Chups in lemon, strawberry, and cola flavors

김여주

Now please calculate it-

The woman inserted her card into the card terminal.

한동민

yes

한동민

You have become

As soon as payment is completed on the terminal

김여주

Okay, this is yours-^^

She put a strawberry flavored Chupa Chups in my hand.

한동민

Oh, it's okay

김여주

I'll come again next time~

She cut me off when I said it was okay, blurted out what she wanted to say, and disappeared.

He really is a strange person.

I stared blankly at the strawberry-flavored Chupa Chups she put in my hand.

Why strawberry out of all the flavors?

There were lemon and cola flavors among the three, but the fact that they gave me strawberry flavor somehow scratched my pride.

…crazy

Does that matter now?

Does it matter now whether it's strawberry or lemon flavor?

I'm starting to get a little annoyed at myself for being so obsessed with strange things since that woman showed up.

Seriously, it's all because of that woman.

…

..

.

One day

This time, I decided not to let her strawberry-flavored pride get the better of me.

2 a.m., when she often appears

Ding.-

As soon as I felt the presence of people, I turned my head towards the convenience store door.

한동민

… Ah, welcome-

But, she wasn't.

I immediately turned my head towards the force machine in embarrassment.

It was another moment when my pride was crushed.

Beep beep.-

The wristwatch on the hand scanning the barcode showed 4 AM.

한동민

It's x,xxx won

Are you busy?

When do you come every day without fail?

한동민

thank you

Did something happen?

I started to list reasons why she wasn't coming.

I knew that even though he would come without warning, he wouldn't disappear without warning.

…

한동민

…

What am I doing alone?

The question is, why are you interested in why that woman doesn't come?

It's clear that I've finally gone completely crazy.

Whether that woman is busy or not, whether something happens or not, she is not my dad.

Yeah, that's it.

…

A week has passed since then.

For a week she didn't even show me her face.

한동민

Here, insert your card.

[Payment Complete]

한동민

thank you

Ding...

한동민

…

The convenience store is quiet at 2 a.m. without her.

It was dawn, so not only were there not many people walking around, but there were also few cars on the road.

I feel like I could hear a jingle sound and a “Hi, Dongmin” coming from the convenience store door at any moment.

That can't be true

Ding.-

“Hi, Dongmin.”

한동민

?

김여주

Long time no see

한동민

ah…,

He rubbed his eyes again, half asleep, and looked at her.

김여주

Did you miss me?

김여주

Have you been waiting?

한동민

…

Yes, judging by that sly and sensitive tone, it's her.

한동민

… No, not really

김여주

Oh, I thought of Dongmin...~

김여주

Is it unrequited love?

한동민

…

한동민

…Dunhill 3mm, right?

Before she could say anything else, I took out a 3ml bottle of Dunhill and placed it on the counter.

김여주

Oh, thank you-

김여주

Please calculate this too

She also placed a Chupa Chups on the counter.

2 this time

One is cola flavored, one is strawberry flavored

한동민

…

The taste of the strawberries that came up on the counter brought back memories of that day.

My pride was scratched by the strawberry flavor.

This is the moment when I promise myself that I won't get scratched this time.

[Payment Complete]

김여주

Well then, good work, Dongmin~

The heroine turned around holding a cigarette and two pieces of candy.

한동민

..?

한동민

Hey, hey..!

I caught her as she turned around, her words trailing off.

김여주

?

She turned back to me.

한동민

…that

한동민

…that..

I was caught in the moment and couldn't think of what to say.

I feel so ashamed of myself for acting like a fool in front of her, as if I had become a blank sheet of paper.

한동민

Is that okay..?

I pointed to the Dunhill 3mm in her hand.

김여주

huh?

She paused for a moment, then walked towards me and said.

김여주

Are you curious?

김여주

If you're curious, I can lend you one.

한동민

… (nod)

I nodded without realizing it.

It's a cigarette I've never smoked in my 21 years of life, and I've never even been interested in it.

I nodded without realizing it, thinking that there must be a reason why he held her.

김여주

…hmm,

She glanced at me for a moment, then raised one eyebrow.

김여주

Give me your ID card

Then he reached out and asked me to give him my ID.

한동민

..yes?

I couldn't hide my embarrassment and just looked at her dumbfounded.

김여주

No, I'm not the type of person who recommends cigarettes to minors.

김여주

Just in case

한동민

…

Are you saying that I looked like a minor to that woman right now?

I confidently handed over my ID card to the annoying woman who seemed to be making fun of me once again.

Swish.-

한동민

Here it is

I wonder if this situation is right

Of course I'm a part-timer, and I'm also the one who sold cigarettes.

Why is she, a consumer, being subjected to an ID check?

김여주

…Uh, ahem..

For the first time, she looked embarrassed.

한동민

…?

I was staring blankly at her when a soft muttering voice passed by.

"Wow, he's younger than I thought..."

…

..

.

end

It's ambiguous to say that

It's also because I'm just too lazy to write

If you want, I can bring you the details.

It's true that I need to retrieve the bait, but I feel guilty about being irresponsible...

That's right

Anyway, it's really over
