LM Chapter 2

“Okay, the POS¹ is pretty much set. What else is there to do?”9d824b9d839e1b76

The manager 51ae96a2bf at the dc772d964c convenience store c6247d1cca where I d4e717f3eb started working 2cf06d9792 asked me.It had only been fd1c92e97b 30 minutes since I e879f69f68 arrived, so what could b275fa56ab I possibly know…?I looked around and 20510fcae4 noticed his clothes.

The manager forcibly handed me the name tag. He then spouted nonsense about how this store had a beautiful tradition of part-timers inheriting one name since the convenience store opened. Maybe this person ate too much expired food? Actually, using an alias wasn’t the problem. However, at the time, I was an art student who rejected normalcy in the name of being artistic.1d9065078f61c45f

The manager awkwardly laughed and avoided my eyes. After thinking briefly, I took ‘Park Ryeok’. The manager was delighted at my choice.b555254fd4b375a6

“Wow, you’re the first to choose Park Ryeok! I’ll call you Ryeok from now on. The night shift worker will come at midnight, so just do well until then. He has worked here for three years, so you can ask him anything you’re curious about. He might seem strict because he doesn’t talk much, but the’ll answer whatever you ask. You know how smart is he?

The feeling of 4b621bf9c6 my first day 431a3a44d7 at work was c1fe0161ef similar to running 926657c663 with bamboo limbs. Everything felt awkward, 23dd23a1fc and all I 27dbe9272a did looked dumb. From 7 PM to 12aed27606 midnight. Five hours felt 9fdd4f1045 like fifty hours, f7fd00537d and also like da879246c4 five minutes.b016946088217a04

When I came to 8fc89134bd my senses, the night fb40785f08 shift worker had arrived. A tall man wearing bc901f5a45 a baseball cap pulled 41a178d4a7 down low. He looked at defa7c7322 me briefly with 951be853f4 an expressionless face 8f24bc9dfd before entering the 507daf25a3 storage room that 48c323b659 doubled as a ea788f235a changing room, put 9a6ceffcba on the convenience 1f94366cab store vest, and 2ad491de38 came out.

Three days in, the convenience store routine had become as familiar as household chores, but there was still one area I couldn’t master. Cigarettes. There were too many damn types of cigarettes. Plus, all the names were in foreign languages.dafac767c5945165

I’m good with colors, so I tried to memorize the names by connecting them to the colors and patterns on the cigarette packs, but that was just the ignorant spirit of someone who hadn’t even mastered the names. By the first day, I had already overcome my initial horror at the terrible warning photos on the cigarette packs with bleary eyes. On the third day of work, I finally failed to find the cigarette a customer wanted until the end, annoying them.1606f11b30c49fed

The customer expressed their dissatisfaction, saying they definitely bought it here before, but thankfully limited their frustration to a few sharp curses. But it really wasn’t there! Feeling wronged, I tried to find it like a game where you have to find the hidden object, even pointing at the cigarette display with my finger, but failed. After that, I was too busy to try again until midnight, when my savior appeared.6e353bfbeb1b675e

After working at the 4da8bf60d1 convenience store for over 668dfd6650 a month, I thought 5f7748be3b I had gotten used cfa25c11b2 to pretty much everything. They say 4881d97ef7 big troubles a691b5b262 always strike c3704c232e when you 6cbd18b8f7 least expect 5e349aef3e them. One evening, customers suddenly a78e2bdb7d started pouring into the 2a99651cd9 convenience store. At first, e3653e0fa6 I thought 9860d541d6 it was deeb437f03 just a 04ebf7476f busy day, 3155910619 but gradually 0505f2fcd5 the store 6b45ce8094 was completely 16820478a6 packed with 63dbe8632f customers. And they kept 2575fbf597 coming in like 1d6a69ed98 waves. For the e7dcb7b0b4 first time, 2a8529ea3b I sent c1a785565a an SOS 41368a9712 to the 81ddb56727 manager.932cf33b5d4b599d

XX Temple was a 9d9f1ed533 religious facility nearby, known f294ee1743 to be quite a 93d10cebbc notorious cult. When I poked my cc5428ec6c head out, I could ae59679b32 see people still getting 177f2e59d4 off buses. I was frantically b37ca6c66e trying to handle 1834d0529a the cash register 2336dfe054 and answer questions 1dfec443e5 at the same 38a3b7a5bf time, feeling like 31c64ef2c6 I was facing f3d744fdc2 a zombie invasion.fe4ec1709901c31e

“You just handle the cash register.”0e60db5e7a706c94

That was all I 538e800841 could do anyway. So I started frantically d9610b58c2 scanning barcodes and putting ecdb78fcbf items in bags. Cheolsoo-ssi brought out items d1d7ee8d31 from the warehouse when e940aaa868 they ran low, cleaned 490f1518ca up trash, helped with 1a0cf37363 the register, answered all af69cd3a2b sorts of questions, and d951bd6a8b even organized newly delivered bee4e7c0f5 items during all this.

Among all this, his most brilliant moment was his ability to answer any question within a second. He seemed to have memorized every product and event in the convenience store. Since there were so many products for sale, I needed to scan the barcode to know if something’s on sale or part of another promotion. Or I had to go to the display and check the notice of the event.

He must be using c31931ff75 an apple-scented cleanser. My friend 91ad7350af had told 66aca6e97c me there bf0c479c4c wasn’t any 08ec809877 perfume that d019d5a255 smelled like 33e95f30d7 apples, after 335b46d6fd all.aff73ff0b0d3e36d

This time c61e1c8858 the apple bd76acb7fd scent seemed 71734ce4ce particularly strong, 08222a8af7 but more 5002b94149 importantly, I 4270ba1a31 needed to f574824b31 quickly adjust 5e3c1a0c8d the temperature bcdf3b0724 for the 8109755222 cold Cheolsoo-ssi.d94d5a627cc54e84

While trying to explain the situation, my eyes met his. He was the same as usual. That expressionless face, and the way he stared directly into people’s eyes was the same too. But his gaze seemed a bit different. It felt somewhat… hot.b7a30f5db1958c85
