I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 58: Weight Class Difference (2)

After receiving Jung-gyeom's message, Song Soo-yeon slowly regained her composure.

After all, she just had to get through today.

It's no big deal.

There was no need to make a fuss.

Stepping off the shuttle bus, she began to place her belongings in a locker, as per the establishment's rules.

But, as always, it was just her cell phone and wallet.

Just as she was about to close the locker door, she caught sight of her wish bracelet and fell into thought.

"..."

Should she leave it in the locker or take it with her?

It was the only thing connecting her to Jung-gyeom at that moment, and something that shouldn't get damaged while she was working.

Finally deciding, she carefully removed the bracelet from her wrist.

She placed it preciously between her phone and wallet, making sure it wouldn't disappear, and gently closed the locker door.

8:00 AM.

Loading and unloading began.

The work was divided into 'loading' and 'unloading' from the transport vehicle, and 'scanning' the barcodes of the items.

Usually, when she worked with Jung-gyeom, Song Soo-yeon would volunteer to be by his side, either loading or unloading...

But now, in his absence, she was assigned to scanning.

As an unwritten rule, women tended to be given simpler tasks.

Song Soo-yeon had no particular reason to complain about this and silently took the small scanner to start her work.

However, scanning didn't mean there was no physical labor involved.

She had to push the scanned items onto a non-powered conveyor belt and also gather small parcels into sacks for delivery.

Of course, these tasks were much simpler than loading and unloading, but they still required physical effort.

In that regard, Song Soo-yeon was not alone.

She was paired with an unfamiliar woman for the job.

-Beep. Beep. Rrrrr...

Shivering slightly in the morning chill, Song Soo-yeon scanned the parcels' barcodes and pushed them aside.

If she didn't push hard enough, the items wouldn't move far on the belt, so she exerted as much force as she could.

Parcel boxes came relentlessly, giving her no time to breathe.

-Beep. Beep. Rrrrr...

Once she started working, she could forget about other thoughts.

Gradually, she fell into a mechanical rhythm.

Fortunately, she was able to suppress her thoughts about Jung-gyeom.

-Beep. Beep. Rrrrr...

About two hours passed.

Curses and irritation erupted here and there.

They came from people directly unloading and loading the transport vehicle.

Song Soo-yeon didn't look in that direction.

But the noise was somewhat annoying.

Her body, initially cold, gradually warmed up.

She felt the fatigue accumulating.
