It's been 2 months since you started your part time job at the convenience store in your locality.
You've started attending your dream college and realised that your parents allowance only wasn't going to be enough to pay for the books, luckily the store had a vacancy as well as flexible hours which wouldn't effect your studies.
However it wasn't what you hoped for. You had to work the night shifts since you'd have lectures in the morning. The store wasn't small, but it wasn't that big either so the night shift usually consisted of 2 workers, you and Jihoon.
Ever since you've joined the staff, you noticed how Jihoon always gave off a cold vibe. He never communicated with others unless it was needed to, he was only there to get the job done and would leave without a word after the shift ends.
He was mysterious, sometimes it annoyed you how he never said anything unless it was related to work but as long as he did his job well, you had no reason to complain
Working night shifts was not easy as you thought it would be. Every night you had to deal with a crazy amount of customers. There would often be drunkards too which you didn't really feel comfortable with but you didn't really have a choice it was your job to assist them
It was almost the end of your shift. Jihoon was taking care of the stocking while you were behind the cash register. Suddenly a loud voice barges inside giving you a slight scare
It was another drunk man. He looked middle aged. His suit was messy and his the was almost off but what shocked you the most was his red drunken face
He came up to you and your shoulder tensed a bit.
"Give me a cold beer" he orders leaning slightly on the counter
Customers were supposed to grab their own beverages from the fridge but you didn't mention it to him since it would surely cause trouble
You opened the fridge but there wasn't any cold beer left
"Sorry sir it seems that cold beer isn't available right now however if you'd like I can get you one from the storage room, it wouldn't be cold though" you explain
He slammed his fist on the counter and demanded that you get him a cold beer
You froze not knowing what to do and he forcefully grabbed your wrist
You winced in pain
Suddenly the drunk man stumbles back. You look to your left to see your co worker Jihoon who just pushed the man
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" The man shouts
"I should be saying that to you" Jihoon answers coldly
"You're a worker here? Go get me a cold beer" he orders breathlessly barely able to get up
"She said we don't have any and stop raising your voice" Jihoon says
"Is this how you treat your customers" the angry man grabs him by the collar
Jihoon provokes him and slams his forehead with his "No this is how we treat bastards like you"
Jihoon continued to stare at his eyes not blinking once. The man let's go of him, mumbles something under his breath and takes the exit
Jihoon let's out a loud sigh and turns to look at you
"Are you okay?" He asks
Flustered you're only able to vocalize "Huh?" You look at your wrist which was reddning
"I'll go get some ice" he says
"Does it feel any better?" He asks as he continues to press the cold wrapped ice on your wrist.
You nodded. You've never knew he had such a soft, comforting voice
"Thank you for earlier" you say
"No problem" he smiles at you and ruffles your hair as he stood up to get back to work
You were blushing insanely and your heart wouldn't stop beating.
There were a lot of different sides to your co worker, if this was one if them then you wouldn't mind getting to know him better.__________________________
