Chapter 31 – After My Part-Time Job at the Supermarket…
Song Hana, who works part-time at the supermarket with me, answered my call, and tomorrow, the two of us will be together in our own room.
******
“Hana, can you go to the warehouse and ask me to display some drinks?”
Thanks to asking Kim Tae-yang all the questions she had, Song Hana adapted well to her part-time job.
“Yes, I will tell you and come back!”
Song Hana headed to her warehouse at the request of her aunt who saw her cashier like her,
Unlike the brightly lit store, Taeyang Kim was sweating in the dark and dull warehouse.
“Taeyang… Are you having a hard time…?”
“No, it’s not hard, but it’s hot. How about working as a cashier?”
Song Hana, who responded bravely to her aunt’s words, was unable to respond to Kim Tae-yang’s words.
‘I wish it were brighter…’
Song Hana’s eyes were on Kim Tae-yang’s neck and arms.
Her bronze skin and muscles were drenched in sweat, and she hated the dark, dull warehouse.
“Song!”
“… Huh?”
“What are you doing without being distracted? Aren’t you here because you have something to say?”
“Ah…! Yes! The lady asked me to display the drinks!”
“Use it! Don’t ask, I tell you I’ll go and fill it in now.”
Taeyang Kim left the warehouse first. Even if she wanted to see Kim Taeyang anymore, she couldn’t, and she left the warehouse with a sullen expression.
“Hana, is it hot in the warehouse? Your face has darkened.”
“Yes… It was very hot.”
Song Hana, standing in front of the cash register, managed her expression.
Even if she wants to see Kim Tae-yang, she is working part-time, and when her part-time job ends, she can be with Kim Tae-yang.
“Ma’am, can I memorize the structure of the supermarket before many customers arrive?”
“That’s right, it’s good to memorize it whenever you have time.”
“Yes, thank you.”
At 11 a.M., As her customers dwindled, Song Hana walked around her supermarket.
‘Is Taeyang in the warehouse again?’
However, her mind is absorbed in her part-time job, and her heart wants to see Kim Tae-yang.
As she checked the structure of her supermarket and looked for Kim Tae-yang, the door to her freezer opened.
“Huh!”
Kim Tae-yang came out of the freezer and put ice water into the freezer,
She looked at Kim Taeyang without saying a word, just like when she was in the warehouse.
Six packs of 2L plastic bottles of ice water, too heavy for her to lift, moved clearly in Kim Tae-yang’s hands.
Her muscular forearms and the veins on the back of her hands,
Song Hana once again realized the difference between herself and Kim Tae-yang.
The fact that such strong hands could gently caress her thighs…
“Sun…!”
“Huh? What is it, Song, why are you here instead of at the checkout counter?”
She quickly erased her lustful thoughts and called Kim Tae-yang, but she was uncomfortable.
“I’m trying to memorize the structure of the supermarket…”
She felt uncomfortable sharing her story with Kim Tae-yang, and even when she told the truth, it felt like she was making excuses.
“You memorize the location of the shelves, right?”
“Yeah…”
“I memorized it well. Once you roughly memorize the shelves, you can start by memorizing the miscellaneous items. Customers were asking a lot.”
“Yeah, okay…”
Song Hana recalled her lustful thoughts while Kim Taeyang was busy with his part-time job.
“Song, see you at lunchtime.”
“Ah…!”
After filling the freezer with ice water, Kim Taeyang checked the time and headed straight to the warehouse.
She couldn’t catch Kim Taeyang.
While she was counting items at the checkout counter, Taeyang Kim walked around the supermarket.
“Go inside and look on the left wall.”
She did the work and told customers exactly where the items they were looking for were located.
“Elder, I will put you in the car.”
“It may be difficult for students, but it’s okay.”
“It’s not that hard to carry the water. I’ll carry it for you.”
With her bronze skin and blonde hair, there was something she too had heard from her classmates. The saying that Kim Tae-yang is like a scoundrel,
‘The way So-yoon speaks that I don’t like…’
She agreed with the statement that Kim Taeyang was a bitch.
Kim Tae-yang also admitted it herself, and her blonde hair and light manner of speaking were truly gangly.
And Kim Taeyang helped her escape. She would go out with Kim Tae-yang or buy coffee during lectures,
Monday and Wednesday, when I was able to meet Taeyang Kim,
She enjoyed new deviations every time, and the level of deviation gradually increased.
‘I can’t concentrate on work…’
In the last lecture before final exams, she bought coffee alone with Kim Tae-yang and made a strange suggestion even though there was no skinship.
“Hana, the customer asked for vegetables to be added.”
“Ah! Yes, you measure it by weight, right?”
“Yes, I will do it for you.”
The strange suggestion was made by Song Hana, not Kim Taeyang.
She couldn’t concentrate on work, and her cashier lady caught her mind as she tried to go somewhere else.
“Ma’am, I did it for you, but do you have anything else to do?”
Song Hana asked her cashier for help. So that she could focus on her part-time job, she set out to find work like Kim Tae-yang.
Whenever the checkout counter was free, I walked around the supermarket and cleaned up the items that were out of order.
The place where she will be alone with Kim Tae-yang is her room. It wasn’t a supermarket, and as I concentrated on work, it was soon lunchtime.
‘Why are you disappointed…? You knew we had to eat them separately.’
The cashier received the lunch menu, and Song Hana guarded the checkout.
“Song, go and eat.”
“What about the sun?”
“I ate. I’ll take care of the cashier duties for you, so eat quickly.”
“Have you already eaten it all…?”
“Uh, I have to go to an external company with the manager in the afternoon. I’m driving?”
Business must be open even during lunch hours.
The employees took turns eating lunch, and while she was guarding her counter, Kim Tae-yang was eating lunch.
Even though she couldn’t eat alone, her wish to eat with Kim Tae-yang never came true.
“Ma’am, where did Taeyang go?”
“The manager took me there. He said he was checking my driving skills.”
Song Hana tried to eat lunch as quickly as possible, but Kim Taeyang followed her manager as he had told her.
“Do you have a savings number?”
“No, there isn’t any.”
“Yes, your payment has been completed and thank you.”
“Yes, goodbye.”
During her afternoon shift, she never saw Taeyang Kim.
————–
– Where did you go?
————–
————–
-Did you drive well?
– If you’re busy, you don’t have to reply!
————–
Kim Tae-yang, who was said to have followed her manager, did not even reply to her messenger.
“You had a hard time. It was very difficult because there was no sun in the afternoon, right?”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
“One is going to wait for the sun to go, right?”
“Yes, it’s the same path. I’ll go with you when the sun comes.”
At 6 p.M., She handed over the handover to the night shift worker, but Kim Tae-yang still did not reply.
She waited for Kim Taeyang to return to the supermarket,
As she was loitering in front of the supermarket, a man approached her.
“Over there…”
There was a group of men who appeared to be friends surrounding the man who approached hesitantly.
“You look so pretty… And I like your style, so can I get your contact information?”
Perhaps because she escaped Lee Kang-hoon’s surveillance, more men have been asking her for her number these days.
“No. I have a boyfriend.”
If she was in high school or just starting college, she could give you her number.
“Uh… Then can’t we just be friends?”
“Hey. Didn’t you ask for my number because you have a crush on me?”
To the man’s pity, her high school days were behind her, and the days when she had just entered college had also passed.
“I have no intention of being friends with someone like that.”
The man failed to get Song Hana’s number.
“Ah… Yes, I understand… Excuse me.”
The man who was not Kim Tae-yang was dispirited by Song Ha-na’s cold eyes and her voice.
She approached him hesitantly and then returned hesitantly, and her friends made fun of the man.
“Yeah, it was just a dump.”
“No! It’s not like I have a boyfriend…!”
“What should I do? I heard you have a boyfriend, so let’s be friends… Damn it.”
“Ah! Fuck you!”
Even when her friends made fun of the guy and the guy hurled insults at her friends, she just looked at her phone.
‘There’s no contact… You must be very busy, right?’
As she waited for Kim Tae-yang to contact her, a messenger window appeared on her phone.
————–
[Lee Kang-hoon]
– Is your part-time job over? Let’s eat dinner together tonight
————–
“I don’t have time to eat with you.”
As soon as she let the words that were inside her come out of her mouth, she was ready to ignore Lee Kang-hoon’s messenger.
————–
[Lee Kang-hoon]
– Kim Taeyang asked to eat together first
– Reply if you have read
————–
“Huh…? Why does Taeyang ask me to eat with him…”
Any intention of ignoring her messenger disappeared? She sent a reply to the messenger, and Lee Kang-hoon also replied.
————–
– Have you contacted Taeyang?
– Where are you now?
————–
————–
[Lee Kang-hoon]
– I don’t know
– Are you going to eat dinner together?
————–
Song Hana and Lee Kang-hoon had different interests.
If she was interested in Kim Tae-yang, Lee Kang-hoon was only interested in having dinner with her.
‘Sun, when will it come…’
When she couldn’t get any information from Lee Kang-hoon, she wanted to see Kim Tae-yang even more.
She asked if she had forgotten that she was supposed to make kimchi stew,
Why did she drag Lee Kang-hoon to dinner?
Where did you go with the manager to come back so late?
She had a lot of things to ask when she met Kim Tae-yang, and the time she spent just holding her phone gradually became longer.
‘… It’s too much.’
She was only holding on to her cell phone, and Kim Tae-yang did not send a messenger until the end.
Just when her worries about Kim Tae-yang were about to give way to disappointment, she heard the voice she wanted to hear.
“Hyung, it’s past work time, can I go home with Hana?”
“Oh, get off work. I’ll tell the boss about working overtime today, so don’t worry, you worked hard today.”
“Yes, you had a hard time too.”
The voice I wanted to hear says goodbye to the supermarket manager.
“Song, you didn’t go home?”
“… Why did you come so late? Why didn’t you see the messenger?”
Her worries gave way to disappointment, and even though she didn’t want to, Song Hana questioned Kim Tae-yang who approached her.
“I’m a little late because my brother said I’m good at driving and suggested we go to the delivery area. I think I’ll probably get some more driving practice and start making deliveries in a week.”
“Why didn’t you see the messenger? Don’t come…! Let’s talk there!”
I can understand why I came late because of the manager.
Still, I couldn’t understand why she didn’t even read the messenger she sent, let alone reply to it.
She tried to push away Kim Taeyang, who was right in front of her, but his thick arms wrapped around her shoulders.
“No smell?”
“Fall…”
“Are you disappointed that I didn’t reply to the messenger and only responded to Lee Kang-hoon?”
Her disappointment didn’t disappear when she was held in his arms, but Kim Tae-yang was aware of her sadness.
“… Yes, I was disappointed.”
She also didn’t bother to hide her feelings that had already been revealed.
“Ahh…! Sun, look at the person…”
“I’m telling you this, so you can see, right? I need to practice before doing it in front of Lee Kang-hoon, right?”
“Ha… To my ears… Ahhh!”
“Today is Monday, and I have never deviated from anything.”
Kim Tae-yang, who placed his arm on her shoulder and noticed her sadness, took away her sadness.
“Song Ha-na, if you don’t like what I did, tell me now. Tell Lee Kang-hoon not to come.”
“Ugh… It’s not that I don’t lift it…”
You can have skinship with Kim Tae-yang in front of Lee Kang-hoon.
The level of deviation, which had been gradually increasing every Monday and Wednesday, rose significantly during the school vacation.
