Donghyuck is taking Sicheng's night shifts while he goes in China to see his family.
A habit of Renjun's is to talk about his problems to Sicheng while he works.
How will Donghyuck react when he'll realise he'll have to listen to Renjun's problems...

Tonight was my first time working. By working I mean ACTUALLY working. For money, you know? To be honest, I'm kinda proud of me since I got this job all by myself, without any help! Nothing! Nada! Rien!
It feels weird to work at night if I'm being honest. I thought about getting a job at Starbucks or something but I didn't get an interview. This Sicheng dude put a paper on the store's door to tell people they needed help with night shifts so I just took the opportunity. He told me I needed no particular ability for the job, I just needed to know how to use the checkout that's all. He also told me a certain guy came at the store every night and asked me to be nice to him.
His name is Renjun or whatever. He said he was born the same year as me. I don't really care to be honest, I'm only here for the money.

I was texting my friends when I heard the entrance bell ringing. As I was deviating my attention from the stories my friends were saying, I saw a guy who looked my age standing in front of the door. He looked... Intimidated, I'd say? Is he Renjun or whatever his name actually is?
— «Hello.» I said without much interest as I was getting more and more notifications from the group chat.
I think he greeted me too. I don't really know, he was speaking so quietly I only saw his lips moving.
He looked pretty down as he was choosing what he was going to buy. Was it because of me? Did I say something wrong? Who cares, I won't be friend with him. He's a customer. He's giving me work when it's late at night. I don't want to have anything to do with someone who gives me work. It's past his curfew, he should be sleeping. So do I when I think about it.

As I was scanning his things, I decided to ask if he was the boy Sicheng talked about. He looks my age and is the only customer who came.
— «Hey, are you Renjun?» I asked simply.
— «Yeah...? Why?» he answered while looking somewhat nervous.
— «Oh that Sicheng guy said you came around this hour and told me to be nice to you, that's all.» I said while continuing to scan the products. «Also, I'm Donghyuck. Have a nice night, I guess? I'm new to this I don't know what to say to customers, sorry.» I continued after I finished what I had to do.
— «Don't worry, I'm usually the only client coming at night, you don't have to be formal with me! Bye, hope we can become friends!» he said happily before leaving as if he was in a rush.
He really thinks we're gonna be friends or something? It's not how it works. I came here to make money not to make friends. I already have enough of those, I don't need new ones. Hope he doesn't come back each night since I'm not Sicheng. It would be pointless.
