The convenience store door slid open softly.
A girl walked in, her hair packed into two long ponytails, exposing her slender white neck. There was a light touch of lipstick on her lips, nothing too bold just enough to make her look fresh. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
A new sweet had just been released.
Everyone wanted it.
Some famous idols had advertised it, and fans were going crazy. The store might already be empty, but she came early… so there was still hope.
"Okay… here I come," she muttered, stepping inside.
She walked toward the snack aisle.
From a distance, her eyes caught it.
The sweet.
Her heart jumped.
She rushed toward it
But suddenly, another hand grabbed it first.Her fingers brushed against his.
She froze.
Slowly, the masked guy turned to face her.
Black T-shirt. Joggers. Face mask. Cap pulled low.
He was tall.Very tall.
She glared at him with a sharp, deadly stare, silently telling him to let go.
{Can't he just let go? Just because he's dressed all in black doesn't mean he can ignore how pretty I am.}
[Why should I care if she's a girl? I'm not letting go of this sweet.]
{What kind of guy is this?}
[What kind of girl is this?}
Annoyed, she released his hand and walked away, grumbling.
"Whatever. I'll just get a drink instead."
She headed to the drinks section where different flavors were neatly arranged.
Her eyes landed on the strawberry-flavored soju placed right at the top shelf.
Too high.
She stretched on her toes, reaching… reaching…
Nothing.
"Ahh! Who puts things this high?" she muttered. "Don't they think about short customers?"
Suddenly
A shadow covered her completely.
Her body stiffened.
Someone stood behind her, so close that she could feel his presence. His body blocked the light.
He was tall enough to cover her entire frame.
Her heart skipped.
{Don't panic. This is a convenience store. Anyone could walk in anytime.}
The guy calmly reached over her head and grabbed the same drink.
Her fear disappeared instantly.
{Just because I'm not scared doesn't give you the right to touch my drink.}
She spun around.
And froze.
It was him.
The masked guy.
"Not you again," she muttered.
Before he could react, she reached up and pulled his mask down.
Revealing his face.
Cute.
Soft hair. Sharp eyes. Pink lips.
Her breath caught for a second.
…Why is he this handsome?
