Knowing Ms. Know-it-all (TXT Taehyun X Female OC X Enhypen Jay)

Ch. 22: I Don't Like You

Ding!

The bell above the convenience store tinkles as the door opens, and as it does, Sohee looks up from her spot at the counter, greeting the newly-arriving customer. "Good morn– Oh... It's you." She stops, however, when she recognizes who had come in, and instead of her usual friendly face, an unimpressed expression forms instead as she looks at Riki smiling playfully at her from beyond the counter.

"Hey, now! Is that a way to greet your customer?" the boy asks with a playful tone, to which Sohee groans and rolls her eyes at in response.

"And how are you supposed to know how I normally greet customers?" she asks, looking at Riki as if his mere existence annoyes her so much.

Yet, even with that obvious fact, Riki only continues to talk in a way as if to annoy her. "Well, a while ago, you were about to greet me, though? You even went 'Good morn– oh, it's you' like tha–" Suddenly, the boy jumps when the girl at the counter suddenly slams a magazine onto the counter, and he looks at her to see her pointing towards the aisles.

"Ugh! If you're really a customer then go ahead and look for what you want in the aisles!" Sohee tells him, clearly annoyed.

The boy only seems amused, though, but in the end, he eventually walks over to the aisles, leaving Sohee to her work.

With a sneer forming on her face for a second, Sohee eventually goes back to what she had been doing originally before Riki came along, sorting the paper and plastic bags under the counter. Only five seconds later, however, a shadow is suddenly cast over her, and knowing that it's currently only her and Riki in the store at the moment, Sohee only becomes annoyed once again as she looks up. "Hey, I thought I told you to go–!" She looks up, but then she stops, and her annoyed expression turns into surprise when, instead or Riki, she sees Jinwoo instead.

Jinwoo looks at her with wide eyes meanwhile, drenched and dripping in his blue raincoat, and upon recognizing who she is, his eyes widen even more. "Hey, you're the owner of that teddy b–"

Suddenly, Sohee stands up, and in barely even a second, her hand is already on Jinwoo's mouth, stopping him from finishing his sentence. Her facial expression looks frantic, and as she meets the boy's eyes, she notices his shock and confusion. "... H-hey... Stop it, will you?" She looks away, and slowly, she soon removes her hand from the boy's mouth. "... W-what are you even doing here anyway?"

Jinwoo seems to take a second to respond, but when he does... "Uhm..." he hums in confusion, "this is a... convenience store?"

Sohee's eyes widen, and then the next thing she knows, her cheeks are heating up in embarrassment. "W-well–! What are you even doing just standing there anyway–?!"

Suddenly, Sohee becomes interrupted when another person enters the conversation and places something on the counter. And when both Sohee and Jinwoo turn to that person, they see Riki, looking at Jinwoo in surprise.

"Oh, Jinwoo! You're here?"

"Yeah, we ran out of toothpaste and cooking oil at home," Jinwoo responds.

And not even a minute later after that happened, Riki's head is suddenly flying forward when Sohee hits him in the back of his head.

"Hey! What's this?! You're a minor! Why are you purchasing beer?!" Sohee asks Riki — more like scolds him — as she gestures to the three cans of beer the boy had placed on the counter.

To which Riki responds by whining and rubbing the back of his head hard to express his frustration. "I was going to present an ID anyway! My cousin asked me to buy those for him because he was too lazy to go out in the rain!"
