Chapter 15

-Aham........
I arrived home and fatigue washed over me.
Normally, sleeping late on Saturday mornings is the national rule, but since I was working from early dawn and went back and forth to a motel in Sillim-dong, I guess it's natural to be tired?
I went into my room, drew the curtains, and lay on the bed.
And before I knew it, I drifted off to sleep.
How long did I sleep?
-Kakaotalk. Kakaotalk message!
I woke up to the Kakaotalk notification sound.
I checked the time on my phone and it was already 7 PM.
There's a saying that 30 minutes of sex is as tiring as running 10km, and it seems to be true. I checked the Kakaotalk message.
Huh? The person who sent me the Kakaotalk was unexpectedly Hyun-joon's mother, Son Na-eun.
[Son Na-eun: Si-won. Is something wrong? You saw my Kakaotalk message but didn't reply. I'm worried you might be hurt because I told you not to contact me anymore. Send a reply when you see this.]
Huh? What the hell. She told me not to send her Kakaotalk messages anymore.
But now she's worried and sent me a Kakaotalk first?
Women really are impossible to understand.
Anyway, I'm not going to see Hyun-joon's mother today or tomorrow, so I'll just ignore it for now.
I can contact her next week after booking a motel.
I got out of bed with a light heart.
-Gurgle.......
Damn, I'm hungry again after waking up.
Well, I only ate breakfast and nothing else all day.
I went to the living room and saw that the lights were off, so Mom must have already been asleep in her room.
Dad seemed to be out drinking with his friends again tonight, so he'd come home late.
-Clatter
I opened the refrigerator door and looked for something to eat.
I saw spinach, pickled radish, fish cakes, imitation crab meat...
Mom had probably prepared these ingredients to make kimbap tomorrow.
Well, nothing decent to eat?
I roughly put on Adidas training shorts, a hoodie, and sneakers.
I guess it's better to go to a convenience store and eat something simple.
Although it was summer, it wasn't that hot because it was evening.
I walked slowly through the neighborhood, watching people.
But strangely, I saw a lot of young women even in the evening.
Or maybe, since I'm only interested in women, men just become invisible like transparent people.
-Ding~
The bell rang as I opened the convenience store door and entered.
And of course, the part-timer was a girl.
And a fairly pretty student at that.
My eyes naturally went to the part-timer's bust.
It's natural for a man, though.
Oh. These days, school meal students seemed to be well-nourished and well-developed.
The schoolgirl's voluminous, bouncy breasts danced inside her white t-shirt.
This is cheating, schoolgirl.
Before I knew it, my eyes were drawn to the breasts in the white t-shirt.
The schoolgirl part-timer seemed to have felt my gaze, and looked at me with a slightly blushing face.
Oops. I quickly turned my head before I was misunderstood.
No matter how much I like women, schoolgirls are a no-go. Nothing lewd.
I quickly dragged my three-striped slippers and headed to the corner where cup ramen was displayed.
Which ramen will I honor today by letting it slurp into my mouth?
Hmm...
While seriously contemplating, I heard a cute voice.
"We're having a promotion on Yeomra-Daewang ramen right now."
Huh? The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer who was at the counter was now standing next to me, recommending ramen.
But of all things, she recommended the infamous Yeomra-Daewang ramen that was known to catch people off guard.
The same ramen that made even YouTubers who handle spicy food well go crazy.
Did she see me looking at her breasts and is now trying to take revenge by setting my tongue and stomach on fire?
The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer stuck close to my side.
And personally took out a Yeomra-Daewang ramen for me.
"Here, this one. It's 50% off right now."
But up close, the bouncy-breasted schoolgirl's face was too cute.
Her skin was so fair and white, probably because she was young.
And why were her eyes so big like a rabbit's?
She looked like a cute herbivore, like a rabbit...
But her breasts are dangerous.
Wobble wobble, jiggle jiggle~
No. Don't be fooled.
Don't be fooled by the schoolgirl's breasts!
Was the convenience store always this dangerous?
The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer at the 7-Eleven naturally started a conversation, holding up the Yeomra-Daewang ramen and smiling brightly at me.
Wow, a white face with big rabbit-like eyes.
Plus, she had dimples too.
No matter how you look at it, this is forced selling using a pretty face as a weapon.
"Ah, do you not like spicy food?"
"Ah, no. It's fine."
Without realizing it, I accepted the Yeomra-Daewang ramen from the bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer.
Our hands slightly touched.
Her soft skin was really nice.
A good scent seemed to be coming from her body.
Milk... wait, breast milk smell?
Ah, no. Let's just say she still smells like baby milk because she's young.
"I'm glad. It's my favorite ramen, and I recommended it because it's 50% off."
Ah, this scary schoolgirl.
She's dragging people to their graves with a smile.
"Ah, yes..."
The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl seemed happy that I chose (or rather, was forced to buy) her recommended ramen, and now she recommended a beverage too.
"These days, mint chocolate drinks are selling well. Have you tried one?"
Gasp.
No, student, no matter how urgent the inventory clearance is at 7-Eleven.
Mint chocolate drink that tastes like disgusting toothpaste even when you drink it normally, and Yeomra-Daewang ramen?
Isn't that almost a nuclear miss combination?
Just thinking about it makes me feel queasy already.
"I eat it often and it's really delicious."
No matter how much she pushes it with her pretty face and dimples, this is not food for humans.
"No. I'm not really into mint chocolate drinks... But shouldn't you be working? There's no one at the counter."
Suddenly, the bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer's face darkened quickly.
If I touched her, it seemed like tears would fall from those big eyes any moment.
Huh? This is also difficult in its own way.
"I'm sorry, sir. I overstepped."
No, it's not that you overstepped.
Of course, it's not common sense for a convenience store part-timer to recommend ramen and drinks to customers, but if a girl with bouncy-breasted schoolgirl-level beauty, I mean a young lady, recommended something, it was unconditionally welcome.
But the problem is that the recommended foods were too extreme.
Sigh...
Seeing the disappointed look on the bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer made my heart soften again.
Well, if a girl with that level of bouncy-breasted beauty, I mean a girl.
She's probably never been rejected by a man before.
Okay. Let me sacrifice myself and not give this schoolgirl disappointment.
"Ah, well... I'll try it. Since you recommended it so much."
The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer's face brightened in an instant.
Aw, cute.
If I had a younger sister, would I feel like this?
But how old could she be?
9th grade? 10th grade?
She looks like a middle schooler by her face, but since her breasts are unfairly well-developed, maybe she's a high schooler?
"Excuse me. Do you need anything else?"
Gasp.
Is she trying to push more inventory clearance on me?
I could use some triangular kimbap to neutralize the spiciness, but at this rate, I'll be forced to take on the nuclear fire chicken x 3 triangular kimbap inventory too.
"Ah, yes. I think this is enough."
The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer looked at me with a face full of regret.
No matter how much I, as an oppa, fell for the schoolgirl's bouncy breasts, I mean her pure cuteness, and acted like a pushover, you should go easy on the inventory clearance. Student.
I walked to the counter, leaving behind the 7-Eleven part-timer's regretful face.
"How much is this?"
"Ah, yes. Just a moment."
-Beep. Beep!
She scanned the barcodes of the items.
"It's 2,500 won."
I took out a 10,000 won bill and handed it to the schoolgirl part-timer.
As expected, since they were clearance items, the price was cheap.
Well, no matter how cheap, who would drink mint chocolate drink with Yeomra-Daewang ramen unless they're making a YouTube video?
Just thinking about eating it makes my stomach churn.
Ah, damn. I should've just eaten something from the fridge at home.
Sigh...
A sigh escaped.
"Here is your change. And, I'll give you this as a service. Eat it together."
I absentmindedly accepted the change and the food the schoolgirl part-timer handed me.
I checked the food the part-timer gave me.
Shit.
It's nuclear fire chicken x 3 triangular kimbap.
Since she couldn't sell it as clearance, now she was just giving it away as a favor.
Sigh...
But since she gave it for free, it would be rude to return it saying I wouldn't eat it.
So I accepted it.
"Thank you."
"No, no need to thank me. You're going to eat here, right? I'll give you hot water. Please sit and wait a moment."
Ah, do I really have to?
Do you really want to witness me eating Yeomra-Daewang ramen and nuclear fire chicken x 3 triangular kimbap while crying and sniffling?
These days, schoolgirls have many ways of tormenting customers.
Well, since she's offering hot water anyway, it's better to just eat here rather than take it home. Definitely not because I want to see more of the schoolgirl part-timer's jiggling breasts.
I sat down and tore open the Yeomra-Daewang ramen.
A spicy smell like tear gas emanated from the soup base.
Ah, I'm taking the train to hell today.
I'm not usually bad with spicy food, but this is a bit much?
Should I just throw it away? But that would be a waste of money...
While I was hesitating, the schoolgirl part-timer came with hot water and poured it into my Yeomra-Daewang ramen with eyes full of expectation.
I guess I have to meet Yeomra-Daewang today after all.
"It's a bit spicy, but it's really delicious when you eat it with mint chocolate drink. King approved!"
The schoolgirl part-timer smiled brightly with a cheerful expression, giving a thumbs up.
Ah, she must be feeling fucking great seeing my face that will soon be in pain.
Do schoolgirls these days relieve stress by tormenting customers like this?
When I was a student just a year ago, it wasn't this bad. Fuck.
-Crunch!
While the ramen was cooking, I tore open the nuclear fire chicken x 3 triangular kimbap and took a bite.
Haah~ Spicy!
It's delicious, but it's fucking spicy.
I hurriedly tore open the mint chocolate drink and poured it down my throat.
Huh?
What the, this is actually a king-tier combination?
The sweet taste of mint chocolate neutralized the spiciness.
It was somehow addictive.
The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer looked at me eating happily and said:
"It's really delicious, right? This combination is totally trending on YouTube right now."
Is this really a trending combination these days?
It's spicy but definitely delicious.
"Ah, yes. It's a bit spicy, but it's delicious."
The bouncy-breasted schoolgirl part-timer seemed to have felt a bit closer to me after I said her recommended food was delicious, and she shyly spoke with a slightly flushed face.
"Excuse me. Did you by any chance graduate from Ssamsong High School?"
