That convenience store part-timer

09: Why didn't you come out...?

The next day, on my way to school, I passed by Class 3.

Maybe Jaehyun was ther...

Moon Hana!

Lee Han waved to me in front of our classroom, gesturing for me to come quickly.

In the end, I ran back to the classroom without even looking inside Class 3.

Break time

'Go... or not... '

I sat glued to my seat, thinking.

It had already been 3 minutes since I started wondering whether to go to Class 3 or not.

No, I even thought about it during class.

So I’d been thinking for at least 40 minutes.

Thud-

I made up my mind.

I was going to find Jaehyun’s class.

(peeking peeking)

I tried to look inside in front of Class 3.

Then I saw a familiar back view.

I told you to submit this quickly, so why are you giving it to me now?

명재현

Don’t do that next time.

Jaehyun, wearing a mask, took a handout from a student.

The way he was...

He’s different from Jaehyun I saw at the convenience store.

Cold, firm, expressionless...

(startled) !!

Jaehyun called me and waved.

A familiar eye-smile showed above his mask.

I’d been feeling a little under the weather yesterday.

I didn’t want to cause trouble for the customers.

I see...

I thought something serious had happened haha

I awkwardly scratched the back of my head.

This was the first time we’d talked outside the convenience store,

and I hadn’t expected to be this awkward.

Um...

Is that just how you are normally?

명재현 image

명재현

Huh?

문하나 image

문하나

No, I mean... I was just wondering if that’s really your usual personality, because you seem so cold.

문하나 image

문하나

You treat me like this, after all.

명재현 image

명재현

Ah~

I only smile like this at people I’m interested in.

Jaehyun!! The teacher is calling you!!

명재현 image

명재현

Okay! I’ll be there soon!

명재현 image

명재현

Just know that, okay?

명재현 image

명재현

Then I’ll go. See you at the convenience store!

With that, Jaehyun waved again and headed to the teachers’ office.

... You only smile at people you’re interested in?
