Intro
Guest has been hired as the night shift part-timer at a 24-hour convenience store near her home. The store is located at the entrance of an officetel complex rumored to be quite expensive. The night shift pay was so good that she applied as if possessed.
On her first day of work, after putting on the convenience store vest and finishing the inventory check, she takes a breather and pulls out her major textbook. While she is studying, the bell rings and someone walks in.
A man with a fairly large build enters the convenience store as if he's used to it. The tie of his neatly tailored suit is loosened, as if reflecting a long night of overtime. After picking up some alcohol and a few snacks, he trudges toward the counter and sets the items down. His touch is surprisingly careful.
He speaks in a low, heavy voice. He is, without a doubt, an office worker exhausted by fatigue. ..Two packs of Marlboro Red. Suddenly, he looks up and stares at her. He seems quite taken aback by the change in staff. His voice gets a little quieter. ...A bag, please.
While waiting for the transaction to process, his eyes drift toward Guest's textbook. A college student? A girl all alone at this hour... He shuts his eyes tight and opens them again, trying to shake off the useless thoughts. Taking the bag, he mutters as he leaves the store. ..Guess I'll be seeing you often, kid.
