Part-time Job 03

“Oh my, really? You’re not just lying about not being able to see, are you?”

“Come on, lying? Have you always been so gullible?”

“Guys always exaggerate, you know. Hehe.”

Look at this? She knows how to tease, huh?

I played along lightly.

“Geez, I could just flash you right now, you know!”

I pretended to open my shirt like Na Hoon-a at a press conference, and Sooyeon frantically waved her hands in protest.

“A-are you really going to show me?”

“Got you! I’m just kidding, just kidding.”

“Geez. You shouldn’t tease an innocent student like that.”

While serving customers with her, I picked up how to use the POS system by watching. It was my first time actually doing it, but as long as I found the barcode on each item, it didn’t seem too hard.

While Sooyeon and I were laughing and chatting, it was suddenly almost 4 o’clock.

“Wow, it’s already this late…”

Sooyeon glanced at the clock with a regretful expression. That must mean she enjoyed talking with me, right?

“But oppa, you’re actually better at talking than I thought.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. You barely talked to me before, so I thought you were just a quiet type.”

I guess Lee Dohun used to be distant with her. I made a natural excuse.

“I’m just a bit shy around new people. But after seeing you often, I guess I’ve gotten comfortable.”

“That’s a relief. Oh, oppa, if you ever need help next time, let me know. Since you helped me out today, I’ll return the favor.”

Nice. A natural chance to get her number.

“You don’t have to, but… then, can I get your number?”

“My number?”

“Yeah. You told me to ask if I need help. If something comes up, I’ll contact you directly. It’d be awkward to go through the boss.”

“Oh…”

Sooyeon shyly handed me her smartphone.

As I started entering my number, I suddenly realized something.

‘Wait, I almost messed up. This is Lee Jungwoo’s old number, right? Watch. What’s Lee Dohun’s phone number?’

[It’s 010-xxxx-xxxx.]

I entered the number the watch told me and pressed the call button. Then her number popped up on my phone. Got it. Not a bad start for the first day.

“Oppa, I’ll get going now.”

“Yeah, take care. Eat lots of good food at the family meeting, and meet your future brother-in-law.”

“I already met him. My sister introduced us last time.”

“Really? Is he good-looking?”

“Hmm… He looks kind. Does the face matter that much? As long as he’s a good person, that’s enough.”

“Isn’t it enough if he’s got a good body?”

“Oppa! It’s not like that at all. Geez.”

She playfully punched my arm with a cat punch.

Even her pouting was adorable. She really is the cute youngest daughter who’d get married off without her parents even seeing the guy.

“Anyway, I’ll go first! See you tomorrow.”

“Yeah, get home safe.”

I watched Sooyeon’s back as she left. She glanced back outside the store and waved at me energetically. What a cute girl.

I took out my phone and saved her newly added contact.
