“Okay, the POS¹ is pretty much set. What else is there to do?”02e7fa16953e1cd5

The manager 77162a7ced at the 1a636cb641 convenience store c0f066f9e6 where I 4de0e2f1f6 started working 84ae6d6731 asked me.It had 838cd27f73 only been 86a43ba328 30 minutes 682ebb3a65 since I 6c3ff437b6 arrived, so af3ea8bc2c what could ee96c22e81 I possibly 6db922fdb7 know…?I looked around 1ca5fd2175 and noticed his d4a5594ff2 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.511c5992ef44eb3b

The manager awkwardly laughed and avoided my eyes. After thinking briefly, I took ‘Park Ryeok’. The manager was delighted at my choice.bde7bfeefed9b2b3

“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.

The feeling of 0d50706fbc my first day 72425e19e7 at work was 886f14841c similar to running d8ac9a60dd with bamboo limbs. Everything felt awkward, and 819dd6f3e4 all I did looked 73040462e0 dumb.

When I came 0ec552f699 to my senses, 1b6330ead8 the night shift 0479a15879 worker had arrived. A tall man cc6737339a wearing a baseball 8921ab987b cap pulled down ac9a5d7ecb low.

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.3ee6c8558a000b5b

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.b5200f5cac8274a2

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.893dea82f281e1b9

XX Temple was a f3119d153f religious facility nearby, known 53b142ec09 to be quite a c2f2e33b7d notorious cult.

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.

As a ecd1ef69dc result, the f5c9c72261 wind blew d8139b710a strongly and 316cd6539e scattered inside. And again, a f89e811aee faint smell of 305919e993 apples wafted through. Based on my experience 88aeda2bf3 so far, this smell f869bdcd72 only appeared when Cheolsoo-ssi f593a7705b was around, so I 49118c3501 was almost certain. He must be 02e1330e4d using an apple-scented dc271b7c5c cleanser. My friend had told a0bda2e8f3 me there wasn’t any 8fc7fe05d7 perfume that smelled like 25026791df apples, after all.27cd43cda0245033

This time 4efb680dc9 the apple ae6c78eac2 scent seemed 33ec62d845 particularly strong, 5f5691992d but more 173b100797 importantly, I 463e9b2d0d needed to 493cacfcb1 quickly adjust 0b0df3071a the temperature 078ad735ee for the 45e802219c cold Cheolsoo-ssi.d9df67ff9e153269

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.b799bb160103f78b

He put down the f3e1cdbc00 bottle and turned around. I thought I saw 41e156e3ad him smile for a 6311fe67a7 moment, but I figured f4c72b3f1d it was my imagination.

“Were you raised by your grandfather?”d81ddee5c6952f66

Although it wasn’t just grandfather, since he was my main caregiver, I nodded. Some emotion filled his gaze as he looked at me. I couldn’t define it, but it was dark and sticky. Like a mixture of disgust and discomfort. But it didn’t feel bad. Probably because I sensed that emotion wasn’t directed at me. Although he quickly lowered his eyes, that dark residue remained.9d9b92862543aab4
