It's my turn now, baby.

[ 09 ] Taehyung's business_

구여주

Flash-] !....

구여주

ha.....,,,

구여주

.......Ha.......Haa...,,

The female protagonist wakes up in bed gasping for breath after having a bad dream.

Along with a slight cold sweat, and feeling unwell above all else, I run my hand through my hair and let out a sigh.

구여주

...Phew......,

The sigh lasted only a moment,

Yeoju, who works a part-time job every evening, turns on her phone screen briefly to check the time.

07:40 PM

구여주

!......

구여주

Ah, I'm late... It's until 8!

Then, Eoju hurriedly got up and prepared to go outside to her part-time job.

• • •

• • •

구여주

....Phew.......

Fortunately, the female protagonist arrived just in time, caught her breath, and prepared to work her part-time job.

10:30 PM

A little late,

To the female protagonist who works part-time,

Time when many drunk people come.

Ding dong

Ding-

Teddy_

trudging along

A man who barely managed to open the convenience store door and enter, staggering a little

A man who is clearly drunk heads straight to the cashier as soon as he enters.

"...Ugh... Miss..."

The female lead frowned because the smell of alcohol wafted from him even as he was just standing there, but

Still, since she is a customer, the female protagonist immediately relaxes her expression and speaks with a smile, undaunted by capitalism.

구여주

[Smile] Is there something you're looking for?

"....Uh.....,, Pooh......,,,"

".....Hangover........that........"

구여주

You mean a hangover remedy, right?

구여주

[Smile] Just a moment, sir. I'll find it for you.

Meanwhile, the female protagonist tries to step away from the checkout counter for a moment.

Tub

Tub_

The man who grabbed the female lead's wrist, even though he was clearly told to come find her

구여주

......?

"....no.....,,,"

".........the branch...."

"Not that........,,,Phew....."

구여주

.........

The female protagonist was dumbfounded by the man who told her she had to come visit but not to go, yet she still tried to treat him as kindly as possible.

구여주

[Smile] Um... customer?

구여주

If I am looking for a hangover remedy,

구여주

I have to step away for a moment...?

"...Damn it!....Why aren't you bringing it to me....."

"I was already about to get fired..."

".......To me.....*sob*...,,why...."

"Why are you like this... Hmmm..."

The female protagonist finds herself trapped in a helpless situation with a man lying face down on the counter, lamenting his misfortunes and crying while standing.

Still, since she had to either send the man away or go out to look for a hangover remedy, the female protagonist taps the man.

구여주

Um... excuse me, sir...?

구여주

If you do this here, I'll be in a really difficult situation....

Ding dong

Ding-

_In the midst of that, the door opens cluelessly

김태형

........Gu Yeo-ju?

구여주

?..

The female protagonist stops speaking to the man at the sound of a familiar voice and looks toward the source of the sound.

구여주

.......mister?

김태형

.....What? Are you working a part-time job?

구여주

Nodding-] As you can see_

김태형

......ah..,

Only then did Taehyung let out a short sigh upon seeing the vest the female lead was wearing.

Then, looking at the man lying prostrate and crying in front of the female protagonist, she looks at him with a 'what is this?' expression.

구여주

........ah,

구여주

It's a drunk customer.

김태형

That looks like it,

김태형

Hey, shouldn't you be acting like this?

구여주

Hmm, that's true.

At Yeoju's words, Taehyung looked at the man one more time, clicked his tongue, and approached him.

Tuk tuk

Tuk tuk-

김태형

excuse me,?

"............."

"....Ugh......,,,,h.."

".........Who is it......*sob*..."

"Why do you keep talking to me... talking... *sob*..."

김태형

............

Taehyung runs his hand through his hair and lets out a sigh, seeing that he doesn't seem to be listening at all.

김태형

hey,

김태형

Why don't you leave now?

"......Who... do you think you are....!"

"....Ugh....Now I can't even come to the convenience store whenever I want?..."

A man speaking with a slightly raised voice, as if choking up

In contrast, Taehyung continues speaking with a very calm expression.

김태형

That is not what I meant,

김태형

If you act like this over there,

김태형

This part-timer is having a hard time.

김태형

This part-timer is having a hard time because of you.

"Ahhh..... really..."

"Suddenly—] Who do you think you are, telling me what to do...!"

As the man suddenly lost his temper and sprang up from the counter,

Whether it was because of Taehyung's height, who was quite close, or the strange humiliation of looking down from above and the aura from his downward gaze, I was momentarily speechless.

김태형

"............."

"..............*Sob*!"

".....*Sob*!........."

Then, looking quite surprised and flustered, even hiccuping,

"....Sob!....I should just.....go home,,,...Sob!..."

It was a man who, staggering again, opened the convenience store door and walked out.

김태형

.....?

Taehyung, who had inadvertently chased the man away, tilts his head and approaches Yeoju.

구여주

...........

구여주

...oh....,,

구여주

You're quite a useful person, aren't you, sir?

The female lead looks at Taehyung with sparkling eyes, wondering if there have been many customers like that until now.

김태형

*Chuck* To think I'm a useful person

구여주

No-h, just-

구여주

Of all the appearances I have seen so far,

구여주

[Serious] Today was the most useful.

The female protagonist speaks quite seriously, crossing her arms.

Taehyung chuckles at her, perhaps finding even that cute.

김태형

.......

김태형

....that...,,

김태형

Are you... working a part-time job here?

구여주

Nodding-] Ah, yes_

김태형

everyday?

구여주

[Nods]

김태형

From what time to what time?

구여주

From 8 to 11

김태형

[Nodding] Hmm, I see.

Yeoju tilts her head, feeling a bit uneasy, as Taehyung pries into every single detail, even the time, as if interrogating her.

It makes sense, because even though he knew that I had been showing curiosity about him recently, he probably didn't expect it to be this much.

구여주

........however,

구여주

Why are you asking?

김태형

Hmm......,

김태형

Hmm......, that's it,

김태형

Because I've become interested in you?

구여주

.....,?

구여주

.....,? why.

김태형

Shrug-] I know, right

구여주

...........

구여주

....Hmm.....,

김태형

*Snicker*

김태형

anyway,

김태형

Here,

김태형

Every day,

김태형

From 8 to 11,

김태형

Doing a part-time job?

구여주

Nodding—] That's right,

김태형

Hmm.......,

김태형

[Smile] Okay, received.

구여주

.......

Taehyung, who was grinning sweetly, unable to hide an expression that suggested he had some ulterior motive or plan.

Yeoju wanted to ask what he was thinking, but she quietly kept her mouth shut, thinking there was no point in asking.

• • •

구여주

.....Hmm..,

김태형

..Smile-]

Since the drunk customer earlier, no one has come to the convenience store, but Taehyung has not yet gone home and continues to stay by Yeoju's side.

At first, Yeoju didn't pay much attention to Taehyung, assuming he would leave soon, but by now, she must be wondering if there is a reason why he isn't leaving.

구여주

........

구여주

Glance-]

김태형

[Smile]

구여주

..........

구여주

..........however,

구여주

Aren't you leaving, sir...?

김태형

*Snicker*

김태형

Are you sending me away now, too?

구여주

No... it's not like that.

구여주

It's been here the whole time since I came in earlier,

구여주

What business do you have here......

구여주

I was wondering if you had business here...

김태형

There- things to do_

구여주

........

구여주

But why aren't you doing anything?

김태형

*Snicker*

김태형

That matter is,

김태형

Since it has to be done here

구여주

note.........

Yeoju just rolls her eyes at Taehyung's unexpected answer.

Because Taehyung hasn't done anything since he came to the convenience store and chased the drunk customer away.

As Yeoju continued to wear a look of complete confusion, Taehyung chuckled at her and leaned his face closer to her.

구여주

!.....

구여주

Blink blink-] .....

김태형

*Snicker*

김태형

What I see you

구여주

.......yes?

김태형

Being with you, looking at you

김태형

[Smile] That's all. That's all I have to do.

At Taehyung speaking so bluntly in front of her, Yeoju was flustered and just blinked her eyes,

It was Taehyung who smirked at her, stroked her head, and came out in front of the female lead.

Eee, I'm sorry for coming late ㅠㅠ I went back to school this week and got overwhelmed by real life, so I'm late...❤ Thank you for waiting :)

++Ah, and now that the contest is over, I'm debating whether or not to continue this project..🧐 ((Because I'm not working on this, so I'll be back with another one...))

++((I'm asking for your opinion... *cough*))
