CHAPTER FIVE. gentleman

You sit behind the counter, flipping through your textbook while the dull hum of the store’s overhead lights fills the silence. The night shift is predictable—quiet, uneventful, and, most importantly, yours.

Or at least, it had been.

Your new coworker is twenty minutes late.

Not that you really need him here, but the sooner you train him, the sooner you can get back to actually being productive. You sigh, checking the clock again, when the front door swings open with a jingle of the bell.

A guy strolls in, completely unbothered, like he didn’t just waste almost half an hour of your time. He doesn’t even look flustered, in fact, he looks like he took a leisurely stroll that deliberately made him late.

"Yo," he says, shoving his hands in his pockets. "I’m Haechan. You must be my cool and amazing new coworker."

You stare at him, unimpressed. "You’re late."

He tilts his head, as if confused by the concept of punctuality. "Yeah, but like… it’s my first day. That means I get a grace period, right?"

"No."

He just grins. "Damn. Tough crowd."

You roll your eyes. "Come on. Let’s get you set up."

You walk him through the basics, leading him around the store and showing him where everything is. You hand him a uniform shirt and name tag, and he immediately drops the tag on the floor.

"Oops," he says, making absolutely no move to pick it up.

You inhale deeply.

The tour continues. You explain how the register works, how to restock, and where to put the delivery boxes when they come in. He nods along, half-listening, clearly more focused on making jokes than actually retaining information.

When you stop by the stockroom, you gesture to the door. "By the way, the handle’s faulty. If you let the door close all the way, you’ll get trapped inside. So always prop it open with something."

Haechan smirks. "That ever happened to you?"

You give him a blank stare. "No. And I don’t plan on it. So don’t forget."

"Noted," he says, clearly not noting anything.

Once you’ve finished explaining the basics, you go back behind the counter, finally reclaiming your seat. You flip open your textbook, hoping for at least one peaceful moment.

Haechan, however, won’t let that happen.

"I’m bored," he announces.

"Then clean something."

"Cleaning is boring."

"So is listening to you complain."

He groans, kicking an empty box behind the counter. "Wow. You’re kind of mean."

You turn a page in your book. "And you’re kind of annoying."

"Balance," he says, grinning.

You ignore him.

A few minutes later, he pipes up again. "Hey, can I get your number? You know, in case I have work questions."

You don’t even look up. "No. You can text Johnny."

He groans. "But Johnny takes forever to reply!"

​​"Not my problem."

"Okay, but like, what if there’s an emergency?"

"Then call the store phone."

"Wow. You really hate me."

You finally glance at him, your expression clearly irritated. "I don’t hate you. I just don’t like you."

Haechan pouts dramatically but eventually lets it go. The rest of the shift is tolerable. If you count him talking your ear off every five minutes instead of every two as an improvement.

When you finally lock up, you internally groan, already dreading your next shift with him.

"Where are you headed?" Haechan asks, stretching his arms behind his back.

"Bus stop."

"Cool, I’ll walk you."

You stop. "Why?"

"Because I’m a gentleman," he says, smirking.

You stare at him. Then, without a word, you turn and keep walking.

"Come on," he says, easily falling into step beside you. "Ladies love a gentleman."

You ignore him. Again.

Somehow, despite only having known him for a few hours, you get a sense that he’s going to make night shifts more unbearable than they already are.
