convenience | yoosung

you had just started working at the convenience store near your house to earn some cash during your holidays.

the store wasn't particularly crowded or anything. to be completely honest, it was actually pretty empty.

"can i even earn cash here ?"

you complained.

for an hour or so, you stood by the counter, looking at people walking by the convenience store.

just as you were about to leave the cashier to pack up a few boxes, a blonde haired boy walked in. his purple eyes captured your attention.

curious, you walked closer to the boy, at the same time hiding behind the shelves.

his hair seemed uncombed and his eye bags were obvious.

the boy seem to have spotted you because he smiled over at your direction. but then, you could just be over thinking like you always do.

"uhm... miss ?"

you turned around, startled.

"y... yes?"

the boy pointed at the cashier,

"oh right !"
how could you have forgotten to tend to the cashier.

you quickened your pace and scanned the boy's items ; cup noodles, soft drinks, chips...

the boy coughed a little before proceeding to ask,

"miss, you seen to be around my age, right ? you don't happen to study in sky university, do you ?"

you were surprised, firstly there's a really cute boy standing in front of you and secondly, both of you attend the same school ?

"yes, i do actually... nice to meet you... yoosung kim?"

you read it off from a keychain with his name on it, clipped onto the bag.

he then asked for your name in which you replied to, giving him your warmest smile.

"i drop by here pretty frequently, you must be new here, i suppose ?"

"yeah, i am new here."

you laughed a little at how yoosung was so observant and how he probably has psychic powers to know your school just by looking at you.

"well, since i'm new here and i seem to have made a new friend during this boring shift, here's a free treat from me !"

you handed an onigiri to yoosung on his way out.

it seemed like yoosung would be the only thing making you happy throughout this job.

-

dragging yourself home, you fidgeted with your phone, feeling uneasy as the sun had set hours ago. quickening her pace, you made a mad dash towards your apartment door.

heaving a sigh of relief when you reached your main door.

just as you were about to open the door, someone held onto your shoulder.

you let out a squeal before collapsing onto the floor in fear, squeezing your eyes shut.

the person called out your name, their voice was so familiar...

you opened her eyes, to see yoosung staring down at you.

"i'm sorry i scared you... you dropped your wallet back there so i rushed after you... i didn't expect to scare you. i'm sorry."

the poor boy seemed to have been taken aback by your reaction as well.

yoosung offered his hand to you, pulling you back onto your own two feet.
