Another day with another shift. I let out a heavy sigh as I continued to work on my school work, always keeping my eye out for any new customers. Being a senior in high school meant that I needed to prepare for university; not just through my grades, but financially.
I knew that university would be hard to pay, even if I applied for scholarships, so at the beginning of my senior year, I decided to get a job at a convenience store near my house to earn some extra money. It was the most ideal job I could have as there weren't that many customers and it gave me time to study when I wasn't at home.
I was even able to pick up extra shifts to fill up all the extra time I had. I didn't have any friends as my one best friend, who I consider to be more a sister, moved away at the end of our junior year. Come senior year, everybody already had their formed friend groups and seeing how this year was my most important, I decided it was best to not try to meet new people and to focus on getting the highest grades possible.
But my lack of social life just added on to the self-esteem problems I was already facing. I have always had trouble with my self confidence and it has gotten to a point where I always have my head down anytime someone around my age is near me.
My shifts were pretty normal and I had finally had a proper routine down; until everything changed one day when he came. Lee Eunsang. I only knew his name from his school uniform name tag, but he what made him stand out from every other customer was how often he came by. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Eunsang would come into the convenience store and buy instant ramen and chocolate milk every single time.
Which brings me back to the present. It was currently Thursday and all I kept thinking about is when Eunsang would be coming in. I tried my best to shake out those thoughts and to focus on my studies, but my eyes always drifted to the clock near the counter, counting down the hours that have passed.
It was finally late at night and my shift had ended for the day. I greeted my co-worker as I changed out of my uniform and grabbed my things to go. I let out a sigh, disappointed about his absence.
'Guess I'll just see him next week...'
As I was almost out the door of the convenience store, the door burst wide open as I boy tumbled in, his hands on his knees as he attempted to catch his breath. Looking more closely, I realized the boy was Eunsang as he stood up, a soft smile painted on his lips. My cheeks were flushed red as I looked down at my hands. "I'm glad I caught you before you left. I thought I was going to miss you for sure and I didn't want to wait until next week."
I knitted my eyebrows in confusion as I looked up at Eunsang. "I'm sorry, I think you're mistaken. I don't think you're looking for me. I'm nobody." Eunsang's face morphed into a look of disappointment. "Of course I was looking for you. Just give me a minute to explain." Eunsang gestured to me to sit at the nearby table as I followed him.
Once I had sat down, I watched Eunsang disappear in the aisles only to come back a few moments later with a small bag of drinks and snacks. He opened up the black plastic bag and placed a can of juice in front of me. "I noticed that you drink these often when I come in." I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I slowly nodded and grabbed the drink in front of me, opening the can up and taking a sip from it.
The entire time, I could feel Eunsang's eyes on me as I continued to look down at my hands, unsure of where to look. Out fo nowhere, I felt a hand gently come under my chin and slowly tilt my head up only to be face to face with Eunsang. My eyes widened and the blush on my cheeks intensified as I saw his smile grow wider. "I don't understand why you look down. You have a beautiful face."
For a moment, a single moment, something in me wanted this to last forever. But my insecurities came swooping in, destroying that fantasy from ever happening. I immediately pulled my face away and stood up, grabbing my belongings. In a shaky voice , I said "I'm sorry. You're really nice, but I really can't do this."
I rushed out of the convenience store and began walking, hot tears staining my face. The more I wiped them away, the more they came back. Before I could go any further, I felt a hand grab my wrist and turn me around. I came face to face with Eunsang once more, a worried look on his face. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, I really am. I just wanted to ask you out on a date. You've caught my eye for the last couple of months and today, I finally gathered enough courage to tell you how I feel"
I shook my head as I wiped away the remaining tears on my face. "It's not you...it's me. I don't know why on earth anyone like you would like me, but you shouldn't. I can't even love myself. How can anybody else love me?"
I could see the pain in Eunsang's eyes as he pulled me into a tight hug. I tried to pull myself away from him m, but every time I pushed, he would pull back harder. After a few moments of our tug of war, I finally gave in and succumbed to the warmth of his body. Eunsang's big was reassuring and made me feel a bit better, but it still couldn't fill the void that was in me.
As we pulled away from each other, I softly thanked him as he smiled. "Let me be here for you, (Y/N). I know how hard it is to love yourself, but let me help you. Let me tell you a different reason of why I like you everyday and let me kiss your bruises until their gone. I want to be here for you, so can you please let me in?"
I froze in that moment, thinking about all the things that would happen if I let him in. If I allowed myself to become vulnerable around him. Even though I've only known of him for the past several months, I could tell that he wouldn't want to hurt anybody. After taking a deep breath in, I smiled for the first time in a while. "Lee Eunsang, why do you like me?"
I watched as Eunsang's smile grew wider as he pulled me close and placed a soft kiss on my temple. "There's too many reasons to list. But it's okay, we got time for me to tell you all of them."
