Jang Mi-yeon opened the door to the CU convenience store, grabbed two banana milks, and headed to the checkout counter. Back home, she carefully filled out her resume and made a phone call.

장미연

"I saw the recruitment notice in front of the CU convenience store a little while ago and I'm contacting you."

Owner: How old are you?

장미연

"I'm 23 years old."

Store owner: Where do you live?

장미연

"It's the main character."

Owner: It's close. Can you come now?

장미연

"yes."

Store Owner: It's 1:30 PM now, so please bring your resume by 3:00 PM.

장미연

"Okay. I'll see you then."

Store owner: Yes, that's right.

After finishing the call, Miyeon went to the bathroom, washed her hair, washed her face, brushed her teeth, dried her hair, and then hurried into her room.

I sat in front of the mirror, applied skin and lotion, put on clothes that were as clean as possible, did my makeup naturally, fixed my brown hair that fell slightly below my shoulders with a hairpin, put on my shoes, walked to the CU convenience store in Juan branch, opened the door, and went in.

Due to personal reasons, she took a leave of absence from her university and spent more than a month at home without a single thought, which made her feel bored and depressed. Miyeon had been thinking about earning money through a part-time job during her leave of absence, but then unexpectedly, she saw a job posting at a convenience store near her house.

Miyeon, who was walking home after an interview with a middle-aged woman in her early 50s, received a call.

"How are you?"

장미연

"Senior Woobin, I'm doing well. What's wrong?"

우빈

"Hey, do you know how shocked I am to hear that you suddenly applied for a leave of absence? And there's been no contact since... I'm a little disappointed."

장미연

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

우빈

"Let's meet first. Where are you now?"

장미연

"It's near my house. Where is your senior? I'll go there."

우빈

"No. I'll go that way. Meet me in front of Paris Baguette in Juan."

장미연

Before Miyeon could even answer, it was Woobin, a senior from the same neighborhood, school, and department, who hung up quickly. Miyeon let out a long sigh.

장미연

"He's a senior I really didn't want to meet, but I'm meeting him again."
