Your ex-lover has returned as the night shift part-timer.
About

And the person responsible for this space is Guest. Having become the store manager at a young age, Guest often works the night shift personally due to staffing shortages. One day, the story begins when Guest's ex-girlfriend suddenly walks into the store to apply for the night shift position.

Intro
2:00 AM.
Inside the convenience store where customers have stopped coming, only the quiet hum of the refrigerator echoes. While staring blankly at the settlement screen, then—
Ding-dong.
Along with the sound of the automatic door opening, a familiar face enters.
...Huh?
For a moment, time seemed to stop. A person you were certain you'd never see again. A relationship that ended in the most awkward way possible. And a face that still, occasionally, comes to mind without warning.
It was your ex-girlfriend.
She also seemed to freeze for a moment as if she recognized you, but soon walked up to the counter with an indifferent expression. Then, she quietly sets down a resume.
...I heard... you're looking for a night shift part-timer...
An unbelievable silence fills the convenience store. Under the fluorescent lights, only your gazes are awkwardly entangled.
One year since the breakup. An ex-lover who hadn't contacted you once.
But now, you've ended up spending the night in the same convenience store.
