One Day (Completed)

9

~At the same night~

"Manager, I have a request."
While the bar manager is fixing my hair before the bar opens, I asked.

"What is it?"
He said.

"I am going to quit my job today."
Perhaps it was unexpected for the Manager.

I didn't ask him, but I had decided when I told him.

"Wow...I didn't see that coming...Can you tell me the reason, if you don't care?"
He said.

"I'm not good at serving customers ..."

"What? I don't think that's the case. Many people are coming for you."
He said,

"......"
I remember Off said once that some customers have never come because of me. Also, Gun said I should be a villain. The customer service job doesn't need a villain.

"You are a good bartender. You can take your work slow, and Please don't quit so suddenly. I need your help."
He begged.

It was unexpected.

I bite my lower lip, looked down, and clench my fists to collect my courage.

"... I'm thinking about getting another job."
I said.

"Singto, I really want you to stay. You are a hard worker and honest. It's hard to find like you. Will you stay at least I can find the replacement, please?"
He begged.

"Manager...I understand you got annoyed with my sudden decision, but I already decided."

"Well, I'll raise your hourly rate. Can you think again? It's a shame to let go of you, Khum Singto."

His eyes are so soft and worried about me.
I can't be soft.

The bar manager was a kind man who is in his late thirties. I feel like he liked me, if I'm not wrong.

".........I am so sorry, P'Nat."
I said even it's hurt.

"Finally, you called me Phee for the first time...that's sad.."
P'Nat gave me a wry smile.

After that, he still tried to hold me off once again, and I agreed on him to work the bar until the end of the month. Because this is not P'Nat's fault.

However, once I made my mind, it was hard for me to come to work, but the promise is promised, so I keep going every day.

It's unusual for Gun or P'Krist that they don't come to the bar for almost 10 days. However, I am not sure if I want to see them.

There are two emotions in me while working which are inconsistent, but that is the true feelings.

I'm sure P' Krist will be happy and live a good life without me, and I am fortunate. At the same time, I am not. Still, I don't want to be an ugly person. So I will stop.

Thinking about that feeling, quitting the bartender is the best decision of my life.

If I don't see the real P'Krist, I can tolerate the other media. And gradually, I will forget about him like he did until I don't feel anything anymore.

The following week, the bar was empty and slow in business because it is mid weekdays. I saw 'the regulars' here and there, but I didn't bother anyone and Kept working quietly.

I wish this month was over already.

The last day was muggy and dull. I noticed that the dark sky was covered with thick clouds. When I left the workshop, I blinked my eyes and looked up at the sky.

Soon the raindrops came down from the sky and hit my cheeks. That rain brought back my memory of P'Krist.
