The Super Handsome Part-Timer
“Crazy……” I spent a long while just standing there, admiring my reflection in the mirror as I ran my hands over my face. The sharp jawline, the perfectly sculpted nose. Those deep, striking eyes and thick, expressive eyebrows. It was a face so devastatingly handsome that it defied description in mere human language.
“Is this…… really me?”
Thinking it might be a dream, I pinched my cheeks over and over. All that did was confirm that even the pinched version of my face was still ridiculously good-looking. The way my entire vibe shifted with every change in expression was flawless too. Cold and intimidating when blank-faced, yet utterly captivating when I smiled. I could say it with total confidence now. I had really turned into a super handsome guy overnight.
“……Haha.”
I stepped back from the mirror to examine my whole body. It wasn’t just my face that had changed—my height had shot up, and I now had a lean, muscular build.
“……The sexual appeal really did increase.”
That Pink Pill had been the real deal. It had completely rebuilt my appearance, body, voice, and even the way I carried myself around women. It was a literal superpower that gave me every trait an alpha male could want.
“……Thank you, whoever wrote that post.”
I offered my gratitude to the nameless stranger and kept admiring myself in the mirror for a long time. That was when I heard a voice from outside.
“Can I check out please~~”
“Ah, yes!”
I quickly left the bathroom and headed for the counter. A woman stood there holding several items. The previous shift worker must have already gone home because the place was empty.
“I’ll ring you up.”
I scanned each barcode one by one.
“That’ll be $5.50. Would you like a bag?”
“Ah…… yes.”
I added a bag, packed her items, and handed it over. She inserted her card, and the cheerful beep announced the transaction was complete.
“Thank you.”
“……”
Even after taking the bag, the woman didn’t leave. She just stood there staring at my face for what felt like forever.
“………”
Playfulness kicked in, so I stared straight back at her with the same intensity.
“Ah, ah……”
Her face flushed bright red. Completely flustered, she snatched the bag and practically ran out of the store.
I let out a soft laugh. This was fun. A completely new kind of dopamine rush I’d never experienced before.
Yeah. Since I’d become handsome…… I might as well enjoy it to the fullest.
- Ding.
“Welcome.”
This time a group of middle school girls in uniforms walked in. They browsed the shelves for a moment, then spotted my face and immediately lost their minds.
“Wow, no way…… The part-timer here is insanely hot, what the hell.”
“He’s crazy. Actually crazy. Is he a real celebrity?”
“Hey, let’s go talk to him.”
“What if we have a heart attack?”
They kept giggling among themselves, but the moment they actually reached the counter to pay, none of them could utter a single word. It was honestly adorable.
The next customer was an older lady buying beer.
“Oh my goodness. Young man, you are way too handsome~ Sales must be through the roof. Your boss is going to love you.”
“Hahaha. Thank you. I’ll need to see your ID~”
“My goodness, asking for ID~ Well, I suppose I do look rather young, ohohoho.”
She seemed delighted and ended up grabbing several more items before paying. The total was pretty high. As she left she said, “I’ll definitely be coming back~” and right as she walked out, the woman who had been staring at me earlier returned.
“Um……”
She kept her eyes averted and shyly held out her phone. Now that I was fully aware of my new face, I immediately understood what she wanted.
I flashed her a bright smile, typed my number in, handed the phone back, and said, “Save it as ‘Darling’~”
“Eep……”
Her face exploded into a deep blush. She bolted out of the store like she was escaping a fire.
“……This is wild.”
Instead of feeling nervous around women, I now had the composure to joke with them. Guess confidence really is part of a man’s charm……
After that, things got quiet for a while, so I pulled out my phone and opened the gallery app. I just couldn’t hold back anymore.
I turned on the camera and carefully angled it so my face was subtly reflected in the glass window, then took the shot. I immediately uploaded it with a new post.
“Heh heh, these bastards……”
This is exactly why I can’t quit trolling on the forums. Once you drop proper bait, the reactions are pure gold. Even after becoming a super handsome guy, I can’t give up this particular brand of dopamine.
“Welcome.”
After that, several male customers came in. Every single one of them did a double-take at my face—some looked shocked, others stared openly—before grabbing their items. Guess I looked insanely handsome even to other guys.
Right as my shift was about to end, a middle-aged man with a nasty expression walked in.
“Pack of cigarettes.”
“Sorry?”
“I said a pack of cigarettes.”
“……What brand would you like?”
“Ugh. I buy the same thing every time. You don’t know me?”
How the hell would I know you? This is the first time I’ve ever seen your face.
“……”
I picked the most popular brand. He waved his hand in annoyance.
“No, no, not that one. Something else.”
“……This one?”
“No. Jesus. I’m a regular here, you should at least know that much. Tsk tsk……”
He scowled and jerked his chin toward a different pack on the shelf. I grabbed it.
“……That’ll be $3.50.”
Instead of handing me the card properly, he just tossed it onto the counter.
“……”
That was the moment the last thread of my patience snapped.
……Alright. Let’s do this.
I picked up the card he’d thrown, slid it into the machine, and finished the transaction with a cheerful beep. Then I pulled the card out and threw it right back at him.
“Whoa?!”
He made an ugly noise and stumbled backward, flailing like a juggler trying not to drop the card. After a few seconds he finally caught it, his face twisting in rage.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!”
“I was just giving you your card back. Is there a problem?”
“What?!”
“Want me to throw the cigarettes too?”
I smiled and made a throwing motion. He flinched.
“You crazy son of a—!”
His face warped with fury as he finally swung a punch at me.
Okay. You threw the first punch. This is self-defense.
I casually dodged his fist, grabbed his wrist, and twisted it hard.
“Aaaaaaaaagh!!”
He screamed in pain and twisted his whole body like a pretzel. Huh, interesting. In the past I never would’ve been able to pull something like this off. It seemed like the confidence boost had come with increased strength too. Both were definitely part of the alpha male package.
“Ugh……”
When I let go, he clutched his wrist and staggered back.
“What the hell is wrong with you……! Just because you’re handsome you think you can act like this?!”
“Yes.”
“What?”
“I said, being handsome means I can do whatever I want.”
He stared at me, completely speechless. I smiled and raised my fist.
“Want to keep going?”
“Tch……”
He growled like a wounded dog, then turned and fled.
“I’ll never come to this damn store again! After all the money I’ve spent here! I hope your sales tank and this place goes bankrupt!”
“Cool, don’t come back~”
I’ll just bring in more sales myself~
After he stormed out, the store fell quiet again, like a storm had passed. I opened the gallery and wrote about what had just happened. Killing time like that, I waited until the store manager arrived for the next shift.
“Hello, sir.”
“Hey, yeah. Hojin. Anything happen while I was gone?”
“Nope.”
I’d lost one regular customer, but it didn’t really matter to me.
“Hmm……?”
Only then did he actually look at me. His eyes widened.
“You…… are you really Hojin?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“R-really? You look completely different in just a few days. Did you get plastic surgery or something?”
“Something like that.”
“Wow, swelling must go down fast these days…… Must’ve been expensive.”
“All thanks to your generous pay, boss.”
“R-really? Ahaha! In that case I might need to give you a raise. Just having you here is going to boost our sales!”
“I’ll turn this into the best convenience store in Korea.”
The two of us filled the store with loud, cheerful laughter. It was surprising even to me. It felt like my social skills had gone up along with everything else. Just how far did this charm of mine go?
Riding that wave of excitement and satisfaction, I safely(?) finished my first shift as a super handsome guy.
That night, as soon as I got home I headed straight for the bathroom and took a shower.
“Whoa……”
I hadn’t been able to see it properly outside, but now I could truly appreciate my new body. Broad chest, perfectly defined abs. Every line and muscle was crisp and flawless. It was more beautiful and toned than any statue in the world. With the bathroom lighting and wet hair added in, even a casual photo looked like it belonged in a fashion magazine.
“……”
I couldn’t hold back any longer. The moment I stepped out of the bathroom, I opened the gallery and started writing another post with photos.
