Chapter 62: Chapter 62

By the end of May, the trees and grass had grown more lush.

It’s been ten days since I popped my cherry.

I thought we had agreed to leave it as a one-night memory, but it seems it wasn’t the case for Yoon Hye-yoon.

For a week after that, she didn’t show her face at all, but on the eighth day, I finally ran into her.

I was going down to the first floor to take out the trash when I saw her entering the building.

She was wearing sportswear, probably just back from the gym.

I greeted her happily, but she pretended not to see me and quickly went inside.

She usually worked out around 1-2 PM, but seeing her at 6 PM made it clear she was avoiding me by changing her schedule.

I’m not sure if shaking hips in the missionary position was that embarrassing, but I decided to leave her alone until she felt better.

And today.

I went to the gym as usual.

As I entered the lobby, a female employee I’ve become quite friendly with greeted me.

「Hello, Woo-jin. You’ve been working out hard lately.」

「Yeah, hello. I feel like I’m gaining some muscle, so I’m pushing it a bit more.」

「Hmm..it’s almost two months, so it’s about time. Keep it up!」

I nodded with a small smile.

Then, as I turned towards the locker, she asked me something.

「Oh right, I’ve been curious about something, can I ask you?」

「Sure, what is it?」

「Did something happen with Hye-yoon? You used to hang out together, but these days she’s changed her timings and moves separately.」

「Well, I guess she’s got her own schedule now. I don’t really know.」

「Ah, I see. Just a woman’s intuition, I guess. I was just curious. Forget I asked.」

「Sure, I’ll be going in now.」

She was indeed avoiding me.

I guess that’s why I hadn’t seen her at the gym lately.

I smirked slightly as I went to change my clothes.

Inside, the gym looked less crowded than usual.

I started with a warm-up, shouting internally with joy.

By now, I could use most of the equipment on my own.

Today was upper body day, so I followed the usual routine and stopped when I felt the burn in my muscles.

I wiped off my sweat and looked at myself in the full-length mirror next to me.

Definitely, my body looked much better than my previous anchovy-like state.

Seeing this made me feel good about exercising.

I decided to wrap up, took a shower, and headed home.

As I arrived at my apartment building, I remembered the wall clock at home had stopped.

I turned towards a convenience store nearby to buy a battery.

The commercial building looked different from before.

Some shops had moved in during the time, and even the convenience store sign had changed brands.

Ding-dong.

「Welcome.」

As I entered, a crisp yet beautiful voice greeted me.

I started looking for batteries, thinking I was just tired.

The space was bigger than the old convenience store.

I headed towards the section marked ‘Household Goods’ and picked up an AA battery.

As I walked to the cashier, I stopped dead in my tracks.

A stunningly beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes was inside, wearing a uniform.

If it was just blonde hair, I’d think, ‘Kind of a socialite,’ but those blue eyes definitely suggested she wasn’t Korean.

I was curious if she spoke Korean.

「I’d like to pay.」

「2900 won, please.」

Her Korean was not only fluent but perfect in tone.

She seemed to be an exchange student working part-time.

I decided to use this convenience store more often as I headed back home.

Looking at the calendar, I saw a group project due in three days.

Only two problem-solving sessions and one practice presentation left before the semester ends.

And then just the finals.

I laid in bed planning my study schedule.

I had just worked out, so I decided to rest a bit and turned on my phone.

As soon as I did, a message popped up.

It was from my telecom company.

[Payment Confirmation Notice]

May telecom fee bank auto-debit part withdrawal notice.

Hello, Customer.

Due to insufficient funds, only part of the fee has been withdrawn.

Please ensure that the funds are available on the additional withdrawal date.

In other words, my bank account was empty.

I had never experienced this before, so I hurriedly checked my card transactions.

@@@Company: -200,000 won.

@@@Company: -300,000 won.

@@@Company: -400,000 won.

These were the most noticeable amounts.

In just a few days, I had spent 900,000 won at the same place.

That could only mean one thing.

I turned my head and saw the stamina and nutritional supplements I had left on the desk and the oils that would be in the drawer.

The effects were certainly noticeable, so I had no regrets, but I didn’t expect my balance to run out so soon.

With about a week left until I receive my next allowance, I was genuinely worried about what to eat for dinner tonight.

No choice but to call my parents and ask them to advance some money.

Luckily, I promised I’d keep up good grades, so they agreed to deposit the usual allowance into my bank account early.

I got out of bed and sat at my desk.

Though I don’t use these supplements every day, it seemed I would need to buy them regularly, but I was running short on cash.

Ultimately, for my pleasurable sex life, I decided to start looking for a part-time job.

Being in a college town, there were plenty of restaurants and shops, so I figured I could find something quickly.

I went to a part-time job website and searched for places near my home.

There were many positions available at barbecue places, tutoring jobs, etc., but I kept scrolling.

I was looking for something as close as possible.

Then I spotted an eye-catching job posting.

[Convenience Store Staff Wanted.]

Application deadline: Today at 00:00.

SU Mirae University No. 2, looking for staff on Wed, Thu, Fri, 18:00–23:00.

Minimum wage, insurance included.

Experience preferred.

Seeing the branch name, I realized it was quite close.

I was surprised by the included map.

「Isn’t that the place I just visited?」

It was a great chance since I needed a part-time job urgently.

Moreover, the application period was until today; I would have missed out if I had been any later.

It might also be an opportunity to work with that pretty girl, and even if I ended up replacing someone, the location was convenient since it was close to my home.

I followed the instructions on the site and called the store owner right away.

After a few rings, a voice that was cozy yet oozing with sexiness came through the phone.

「Hello?」

「Hello, I saw the job posting for the SU Mirae University No. 2 on the part-time site and called.」

「Oh? Hello. Could you introduce yourself briefly?」

「Yes, I’m Park Woo-jin, 24, completed military service, with six months of convenience store experience, and I live nearby in the ## building.」

「Ah! You’re quite a good match. When are you available to drop by with your resume?」

「I’m free any time except the mornings. Let me know a convenient time for you.」

「How about tomorrow afternoon around 3 PM?」

「Yes, that works. I’ll see you then.」

「Okay. See you then~」

Her voice seemed to melt me, and her slow, sweet tone added an incredible synergy.

I prayed she was as pretty as her voice and hurried through the rest of my day.

The next day.

I finished my workout a bit early and headed home.

I still had about 30 minutes until the appointment.

I checked my resume again and smelled myself to make sure I didn’t stink of sweat.

Then, to make a good impression, I chose the cleanest clothes I had.

After getting ready, I left so I would arrive about 10 minutes early.

Ding-dong.

「Welcome.」

As I entered, there was the blonde girl I saw yesterday at the counter.

No matter how I looked at it, she didn’t seem like the owner, so I went further inside.

「Wow.」

I couldn’t help but exclaim.

And for a good reason, because a plump behind in tight jeans was bouncing around as it cleaned the tables.

I couldn’t take my eyes off it for a moment as I watched from behind.

Feeling my presence, the owner of the behind turned around.

There she was, a beauty with hair in a shade between dark navy and purple tied back, revealing a refreshing forehead.

「Customer? Is there something you need?」

Her sharp eyes looked straight at me, and the gentle voice I heard yesterday came from her small mouth.

She seemed mature overall, and seeing her in the convenience store uniform, it appeared she was the owner.

「Hi, I called yesterday about the part-time job. I’m Park Woo-jin.」

「Ah! You came quickly. Nice to meet you. You brought your resume, right?」

「Here it is.」

She placed the papers on the table and started to examine them carefully.

I glanced at her figure from the side.

Her uniform was about to burst from her chest and behind.

I couldn’t tell how thick her waist was because she was wearing a baggy outfit, but I could imagine what it would be like from the rest of her figure.

「Hmm..military service done, close home, convenience store experience…」

She muttered to herself and then looked up again.

「I’ll keep this for now. There are a few applicants, so I’ll inform you of the results tomorrow.」

「Okay, I understand.」

「Thank you for applying to our convenience store~」

As she smiled and said those final words, I was momentarily mesmerized and just stared at her.

I made up my mind that I must get this job at the convenience store.

And then another day passed.

While I was preparing for the group project, my phone vibrated with a notification.

It was from SU Mirae University No. 2.

Congratulations, you have been hired!

We’ll discuss the start date and other details in person.

Would 3 PM today work for you?
