Ha Joon lifted the barcode scanner he received over the barcode as she had explained.
Huh……?
For some reason, even after a while, no sound came from the machine.
Just as he was about to adjust the angle, thinking the scanner was not recognizing it, Su Ah’s right hand overlaid on Ha Joon’s right hand, which was holding the barcode scanner.
“When the barcode doesn’t scan well, you need to smooth out the snack bag like this…”
She rubbed the barcode section of the snack bag with their combined hands.
“Then if you scan it again…”
With her movement, the awaited ‘beep’ sound was heard.
“See? It scanned, right?”
Su Ah’s movement stopped as she turned her head with a bright smile.
Unconsciously, she was too close to Ha Joon.
“Can, can you do it alone now, Ha Joon?”
Su Ah hastily withdrew her overlaid hand.
“Then I, I will bring some things to clean the windows.”
In no time to expose her heart pounding, Su Ah quickly started running towards the storage room.
“Ah…… I’m in trouble.”
Only after she disappeared, Ha Joon exhaled the breath he had been holding and hastily covered his blushing face.
Before he knew it, it was lunchtime.
“Ha Joon, let’s eat this together.”
Su Ah, placing various foods on the table by the window, gestured towards Ha Joon.
“This is classified as waste due to its expiration date, so you can eat it for free. And if there’s anything else you want to eat, feel free to eat it. The boss never touches the food.”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
Ha Joon’s gaze landed on the triangular gimbap on the table as he responded.
Although it was clearly written as gimbap, he had no idea how to eat it and could only stare at it.
“Do you not like triangular gimbap?”
Su Ah asked, seeming puzzled by Ha Joon just staring at it without eating.
“No, it’s not that. I’ve never tried it before.”
“You’ve never eaten triangular gimbap before?”
Was this something to be surprised about? To Ha Joon, Su Ah’s reaction was even more surprising.
“No, no, it’s not that. I was just amazed because it’s such a common food. There really wasn’t any special meaning.”
Feeling embarrassed about her surprise, Su Ah quickly made an excuse and added more.
“It’s okay. You can try it today. I’ll show you. Watch what I do and follow along.”
Soon, the explanation on how to unwrap the triangular gimbap began.
“You see the arrow here? You grab this and pull it down like this.”
Ha Joon’s gaze followed her hand.
“Then pull the right side, pull the left side… Voila! It’s done!”
Su Ah showed a refreshing smile as she held up the unwrapped triangular gimbap to Ha Joon.
“Now, Ha Joon, you try it.”
When Su Ah gestured towards the triangular gimbap in front of them, Ha Joon started to unwrap it as she had shown.
“Wow. You did well. You learn quickly.”
Su Ah lightly chuckled and patted Ha Joon’s left shoulder lightly, causing him to also curl his lips into a smile.
“Now, try eating it. This is the number one popular item in our convenience store.”
Ha Joon took a bite of the triangular gimbap.
“Is it good? It’s good, right?”
“Yes. It’s delicious.”
“I told you. It’s not the number one for no reason.”
At the window where the warm sunlight was coming in,
The two of them sitting side by side looked at each other and smiled.
And Ji Hoon, who was watching them from afar, also smiled.
“Look at them. They know how to smile like that.”
Ji Hoon, who had returned out of concern for Ha Joon, moved to the opposite side of the convenience store, a pleased expression on his face at the sight of the two brightly smiling people.
During a quiet time without customers,
Su Ah went into the storage room to replenish the empty ramen shelf.
The box of ramen was located on the top shelf in the storage room, high enough that Su Ah had to stand on her tiptoes to just about reach it.
Today, for some reason, the chair was nowhere to be seen in the storage room, and she was too lazy to go fetch it, so she decided to try and get it out somehow.
As she stood on her tiptoes, and strained the tips of her fingers to barely grab the box of ramen, it looked like it was going to topple over, as if she had touched it the wrong way.
Just when Su Ah was about to close her eyes without even being able to make a sound due to her surprise,
Ha Joon’s hand, which brushed past the top of Su Ah’s head, grabbed the box of ramen.
At the same time, Ha Joon’s chest met Su Ah’s back, who was turned around.
Both Su Ah and Ha Joon, as if time had stopped, couldn’t say or do anything.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
The first to speak was Ha Joon.
“Huh? No, I’m okay.”
His hand was still on the box of ramen, and the two of them continued their conversation in that awkward pose.
“I’ll refill the ramen.”
“Oh! Will you? Then, could I ask you to do that?”
As if she had been waiting, Su Ah bent her knees to lower her height and slipped out from his arms.
“I, I’ll check if there’s anything else that needs to be filled.”
Hurriedly leaving the storage room, Su Ah crouched down in front of the snack display.
“Ah… What is this? My heart can’t take it.”
Who knew that working at a convenience store could be such a strain on the heart.
Calm down. Calm down. Hehe. Hehe.
While using every breathing technique she knew to calm her racing heart,
With a clattering noise, Ha Joon opened and came out of the storage room door.
“We need to put a chair in the storage room.”
“Yes. We, we should.”
The truth is, a chair was already provided. It was just my laziness that caused this mess.
Struggling to swallow the words stuck in her throat, Su Ah fiddled with the displayed snacks out of embarrassment.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
