Now Eunseo was genuinely curious. Resolved to see for herself, she quietly joined the line.
After waiting nearly 20 minutes, it was finally her turn to enter the store.
The store was packed with students selecting items (or rather, pretending to while sneaking glances at the counter). Being on the shorter side, Eunseo struggled to see through the taller kids. Why are today’s kids all so tall and slender?
Straining on tiptoes and craning her neck, she finally spotted a tall man standing alone at the counter.
So, that’s the famous handsome guy!
Determined to get a good look, Eunseo swallowed hard and widened her eyes. But the next moment, a surprised exclamation escaped her lips.
“Seungju?”
Seungju, who was working at the counter in a convenience store vest, looked up to see Eunseo and was startled, dropping the item he was holding.
“Eunseo noona?”
At that moment, all the students in the store turned their attention towards Eunseo.
[Star Icon]Seungju clasped his hands together and bowed his head deeply, looking like he had committed a great wrong.
“I’m sorry, noona. There’s something I really want to buy… I only need to work for two weeks.”
Eunseo sighed, realizing what he was up to. It must be for a PlayBox or something like that.
“You’re trying to buy a game console by working part-time?”
Seungju flinched, making Eunseo think she had hit the nail on the head.
“Stop it. I’ll buy it for you.”
Thinking about her credit card’s installment limit, Eunseo offered, but Seungju was adamant.
“No, I want to buy it with my own effort.”
“You don’t have time for a part-time job right now. You should be focusing on studying hard to return to the company as soon as possible!”
“I promise it won’t interfere with my studies. You know I’m good at studying.”
Seungju opened his palms and then folded a finger. Using his national rank 9th in academics at a time like this… Eunseo was at a loss for words.
“What if someone recognizes you?”
“I’ll just say they mistook me for someone else. Who would think the president of Daewon Construction would work at a convenience store?”
“Well, that’s true but…”
Eventually, Eunseo had no choice but to nod.
“Alright. But only for two weeks, okay?”
[Star Icon]The next day at work, Eunseo received a message from Seungju.
[Dash] Noona, can I come home a bit late today? The store owner asked me to work an extra two hours.She replied okay and thought, ‘I should pick him up since it’ll be about the time I get off work.’
On her way home, Eunseo headed to the convenience store where Seungju was working. Fortunately, the long line of students was gone since it was well past school dismissal time.
Peeking inside through the glass door, she saw Seungju at the counter, but he wasn’t alone. A pretty high school girl, also wearing a convenience store vest, was standing next to him, chattering away. She seemed to be a new part-timer.
Curious about their conversation, Eunseo listened from outside.
“Our teacher said… …did that…”
“Oh, really? Back in the day, our homeroom teacher also…”
The conversation was a bit hard to hear, but it seemed like they were getting along well. Considering their mental ages were both that of high school students, it made sense they would communicate well.
Eunseo watched them talking with a content smile, but unknowingly let out a sigh. Seungju at his age should be hanging out with cute friends like this girl, not older noona types like her and Seonah, drinking soju…
Eunseo entered the convenience store.
“Noona!”
Seungju’s face lit up with joy upon seeing Eunseo.
“Did you come to pick me up?”
“Yeah, it’s about time to finish, right?”
“Just a moment, noona. Let me quickly restock the drinks and I’ll be ready.”
Saying so, Seungju hurried off to the storage room.
“Naeun-ah, I’ll be back from the storeroom in a bit.”
“Okay, oppa!”
The pretty part-timer responded with a smile.
While Seungju was in the storeroom, Eunseo browsed the store, contemplating whether to buy a 1+1 deal on sliced cake. Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind.
“Lady.”
Not thinking she was being addressed, she continued to look at the display until she heard the voice again.
“Lady, can’t you hear me?”
This time, she was poked in the back, which made Eunseo turn around in surprise.
The part-timer, who had been smiling sweetly at Seungju earlier, was now glaring at Eunseo with a scowl. Her name was Naeun, right?
“Me? You mean me?”
Eunseo was taken aback. Being called a lady at twenty-seven seemed a bit much, even if the other person was younger.
“I’m not a lady…”
“Seungju oppa is thirty-three years old, and if he calls you noona, that means you’re older than him. So, you’re a lady, right?”
Eunseo then realized why Naeun had made the mistake. She hesitated to explain, and Naeun scrutinized her face and frowned.
“But what on earth have you done to your face? Ugh, it’s annoying.”
Naeun certainly had a way of making compliments about looking young sound unpleasant. Eunseo was gradually becoming annoyed.
“What I do with my face is none of your business, right?”
Eunseo responded with a smile, but Naeun looked ready for battle.
“What’s your relationship with Seungju oppa?”
“Why would that be of any concern to you?”
Eunseo was getting drawn into a childish argument, prompted by being repeatedly called a lady.
“You’re not dating him, are you? You aren’t, right?”
“Why would you think we’re not?”
Eunseo calmly parried with a smile, causing Naeun to look even more upset.
“Why would my oppa date a lady like you!”
Eunseo’s forehead tensed up.
Why was it that Seungju was referred to as ‘oppa’ and she was constantly called a lady?
