He was saying to narrow the distance between their hearts during the time they could be together, as he would create that opportunity.
Ha Joon didn’t really feel like lying, but the prospect of being alone intrigued him, so he decided to follow along for the time being.
“I can do it alone. It’s the weekend, so there won’t be many customers anyway.”
“That won’t do. It goes against our convenience store’s operating policy of a twoperson team.”
Ji Hoon said it was impossible, narrowing his brows and shaking his index finger from side to side.
The twoperson team policy.
A policy that Ji Hoon himself had created to prevent inconvenience when eating, going to the bathroom, restocking, and so on.
“Ha Joon probably hasn’t done this kind of work before, isn’t he coming just because of me?”
Of course, it would be easier with two people, but she hesitated, feeling like she might be causing inconvenience to Ha Joon unnecessarily.
“No. Ha Joon also wanted to open a convenience store at some point. It’s a good opportunity to learn, isn’t it? Right?”
Ji Hoon winked at Ha Joon and locked eyes with him.
‘Answer in tune with the vibe.’ It was a silent gesture.
“Eh? Yes. That, that’s right.”
At Ha Joon’s answer, Su Ah’s expression brightened.
“Ah. I see. I was worried you might be dragged out because of me on the weekend.”
‘He’s not someone who would be dragged out if forced.’
Ji Hoon’s lips twitched.
“Then, I look forward to working with you for the next two days.”
Su Ah showed a bright smile towards Ha Joon.
“Su Ah. I’m here.”
Just as she was cooking ramen after work due to hunger, Da Eun walked in with impeccable timing.
“Your timing is ghostly. The ramen just got ready.”
“Oh. Ramen. I knew this would happen, so I bought this.”
Da Eun, rustling in the plastic bag on her wrist, handed a can of beer to Su Ah.
“Ah! Beer! I was just about to go out and buy some since we ran out. You’re amazing, Jung Da Eun. I knew we were in sync.”
Su Ah put the pot on the table and sat down, and Da Eun walked over and sat across from her.
“Ramen and beer. It’s been a while.”
“Yes. I cooked it, but it turned out perfectly chewy.”
Su Ah and Da Eun opened their beers at the same time.
With a fizzing sound, white foam rushed up, and the two of them, as if they had made a pact, simultaneously extended their lips and sipped the overflowing foam.
A mouthful of ramen and a sip of beer.
It seemed simple, but upon reflection, wasn’t this perhaps the most blissful moment of the day?
As Da Eun was about to open a new can of beer, Su Ah opened her mouth.
“Jung Da Eun, I think you can roll out your mat.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“I’m talking about the third meeting I mentioned earlier.”
“What! You’ve already met him? Where?”
Surprised, Da Eun put down the beer can she was holding and leaned in.
“At the convenience store. Turns out he’s a friend of our boss.”
“A friend of the boss? Wow. What a coincidence. Isn’t this like destiny or something?”
Da Eun clapped her hands dramatically and her eyes sparkled.
“Hey! What destiny. It’s not like that.”
“It is destiny. Otherwise, you wouldn’t keep running into him. Anyway.”
Whether it was funny to see Da Eun talking like a firm believer in destiny, or whether she liked the idea that she and Ha Joon were destined, a laugh slipped out for no apparent reason.
“Oh! By the way, we’re going to be working together next weekend.”
Perhaps she wanted to play into the idea of destiny. She brought up something that hadn’t been asked.
“He said he’ll be substituting for our boss, who will be going for training over the weekend next week.”
“Oh, so you’ll be together all weekend next week?”
From her expression, it seemed like she had some thoughts about it.
“Hey! It’s not like that, okay? He’s just coming to help.”
“Sure. Whatever. The important thing is that you get to enjoy his company for two days while working.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Su Ah nodded in agreement with that statement.
In fact, she hadn’t thought much about spending those two days with him, but after hearing Da Eun’s words, she strangely started looking forward to next weekend.
Before she knew it, Saturday arrived.
Ha Joon, sitting on the sofa, had a gloomy expression.
Should he say he couldn’t go now?
No. It’s just two days together, wouldn’t that be okay?
No. This could make him want to get closer.
At that moment, when his feelings were changing every second,
The front door opened with the sound of the password being entered.
It was Ji Hoon.
“I think it’s better not to go.”
“What do you mean all of a sudden?”
Ji Hoon asked, widening his eyes.
“I just don’t think this is right. I shouldn’t do this.”
“What are you talking about?”
It wasn’t like he was committing a big crime, Ji Hoon couldn’t understand what he meant at all.
“Min Ha Joon. That’s your problem. You think too much.”
“……”
“Just follow your heart. That’s enough now.”
Enough? What does he mean by enough?
“Your heart. Your heart that you’ve been holding back from going anywhere for 20 years. Just let it go where it wants to.”
“When did I hold it back……”
Ha Joon mumbled, trailing off his words and moving towards the dressing room.
“You’re not seriously thinking of going like that, are you?”
At the sight of Ha Joon all dressed up, Ji Hoon asked with a puzzled look.
“Huh. Why? Is it strange?”
Is it strange to come out dressed in a sharply tailored suit? Is he really asking because he doesn’t know?
The road is long. The road is very long. Ji Hoon sighed deeply.
“These days, the trend is ‘naturalglam’. Looking dressed up without looking like you tried.”
Ah. ‘Naturalglam’. Ha Joon nodded slightly.
“But right now, you’re ‘dresseddresseddressed’. Looking dressed. Looking dressed. Looking dressed.”
“I just wore what I usually wear.”
Hoo. Instead of responding, Ji Hoon hurried into the dressing room and looked through the hanging clothes.
How can they all be the same? Ji Hoon’s hands grew frantic following his heart, and then he found a pair of pants and a shirt hanging at the far end, as if they had been neglected.
“Change into these clothes.”
Why on earth are those clothes hanging there? I don’t remember buying them…
Ha Joon stared at the clothes, a style he had never worn before, for a while, unable to readily accept the unfamiliarity.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and change! We’re late.”
Urged by Ji Hoon, Ha Joon reluctantly changed his clothes and stood in front of the mirror.
His hair was naturally styled without any setting, a blue striped shirt, and to finish, slacks that showed a hint of his cheekbones.
It was comfortable yet not too disheveled. It was the very ‘naturalglam’ that Ji Hoon had mentioned.
Ha Joon narrowed his eyebrows at his unfamiliar reflection in the mirror, awkwardly checking even his back.
“Let’s get going now. Su Ah must be waiting. Let’s go. Let’s go.”
Humming a tune, seemingly satisfied with his styling, Ji Hoon walked ahead.
Is this really okay?
Ha Joon followed Ji Hoon, nervously biting his lower lip as the tension surged.
