Lee-joonhyuk ran towards the convenience store in his training suit. It was morning still, so s.h.i.+n-soyun should still be there.
Lee-joonhyuk looked in through the gla.s.s door, and he was s.h.i.+n-soyun organizing delivered items. He entered.
“Welcome.”
s.h.i.+n-soyun got up from her seat. When she checked it was Lee-joonhyuk, she couldn’t hide her worried expression.
“Is your body ok?”
“I’m on wings after I drank that cider.”
s.h.i.+n-soyun burst into laughters at Lee-joonhyuk’s words.
“That’s good.”
While s.h.i.+n-soyun was organizing, Lee-joonhyuk brought two triangle kimbab, and two banana milk. Once he put the items on the counter, s.h.i.+n-soyun went behind the counter to ring him up. Then she carefully looked at Lee-joonhyuk.
When she finished ringing him up, he pushed a triangle kimbab, and a banana milk towards her.
“I promised you this.”
“You had another interview on the weekends?”
Lee-joonhyuk spoke as he ripped the triangle kimbab out.
“Nope.”
s.h.i.+n-soyun’s eyes became round as she asked.
“Then where did you get in?”
“I was able to get into ST Capsule.”
“Really?”
It was a large corporation, which was ranked 3rd in Korea. When s.h.i.+n-soyun heard he had pa.s.sed, she looked at Lee-joonhyuk with sparkling eyes.
Lee-joonhyuk took a bite of the triangle kimbab. He spoke, while he laughed.
“This is why I’m buying.”
s.h.i.+n-soyun looked at Lee-joonhyuk as if she was impressed, then she snuck a glance around her surrounding. She didn’t have any customers, so she also ripped the triangle kimbab open. She skipped breakfast, so she was a bit hungry.
s.h.i.+n-soyun raised the triangle kimbab then she spoke.
“Thank you for the food.”
Lee-joonhyuk watched s.h.i.+n-soyool eat the triangle kimbab, and he stuffed his left-over triangle kimbab into his mouth. Then he opened the banana milk, and he downed it in one-shot.
While he was struggling to live for one month, he sometimes thought about s.h.i.+n-soyun.
The last girl friend he had was in high school. While he was in the military, he had been betrayed by a woman.(TLN:See below for explanation) This was why he didn’t date any women even when he returned to college.
This was the reason why he had gotten relatively good grades.
When he was moving back and forth between the line of death, he had thought of s.h.i.+n-soyun, who always bright and energetic.
We wasn’t sure what his feeling was towards her, but he just knew he felt good when he was around her. Lee-joonhyuk spoke after he threw the wrapper for the triangle kimbab, and banana milk into the trash can.
“When I receive my first pay check, I’ll buy you a much better dinner.”
s.h.i.+n-soyun was a little bit taken aback by Lee-joonhyuk’s words. She didn’t mind drinking milk or eating a triangle kimbab, but she felt a little bit shy having dinner somewhere else.
“Are you asking me out on a date?”
Instead, Lee-joonhyuk was more taken aback at those words. He scratched his head, and Lee-joonhyuk mumbled.
“It doesn’t have to be. I was able to pa.s.s with the help of your encouragement, so I’m very thankful.”
s.h.i.+n-soyun let out a clear laugh as she looked at the nervous Lee-joonhyuk.
“I’m just joking.”
s.h.i.+n-soyun spoke as she smiled.
“Now that you have entered a big company, you are going to have to buy me dinner.”
“I’ll buy you a big dinner. I will.”
Lee-joonhyuk spoke as he lightly tapped his chest.
“I’ll be starting a 3 day and 2 night orientation, so I won’t be able to come until Friday. Don’t wait for me.”
“I’ve never waited for you?”
s.h.i.+n-soyool spoke with round eyes. Lee-joonhyuk made a wounded expression as he spoke.
” If you say it like that then I have no choice. I’ll be going now.”
“I was just kidding. I waited for you since I wanted to drink the banana milk.”
Lee-joonhyuk spoke with a confident expression.
“All right. I’ll buy you a banana milk everyday once I officially start work.”
s.h.i.+n-soyool stuck out her tongue slightly then she spoke.
“Then I’ll become burdened.”
“Is that so?”
“Just visit me occasionally like right now.”
Truthfully, he purposefully came here on the day he had the interview. He wanted to receive her encouragment. He was a someone who was getting ready to get a job, so his money situation was obvious.
“I’ll do that. I’ll head out now. See you next time.”
Lee-joonhyuk waved his hand, then he went outside. Lee-joonhyuk had already lightly warmed up, so he ran full speed to his rented room.
He had only exercised for two days. However, his soul survived such a harsh environment. This caused his body adapt quickly. Atlan was right. If one part develops then the other part follows.
He had been warned about becoming imbalanced, so he ran hard to balance himself. Lee-joonhyuk opened the door to his room, and he entered. Then he started to do a handstand.
“Phew.”
He had average athletic abilities, so it wasn’t too hard for Lee-joonhyuk to find his balance. He slowly started to do a push up in this state. Eventually, he lost his balance and he lay flat like a star fish on the floor.
He used a fall technique the moment he started to fall down, so he was able to reduce the impact. Lee-joonhyuk looked at the ceiling of his roomas he mumbled.
“Is it a date?”
Lee-joonhyuk remembered the words of s.h.i.+n-soyun. He let out a laugh then he started to do sit-ups.
“Phew. Phew.”
He had to try his best to remake his body to survive the next summoning. He also had to train his ability. In between all of this, he had to get used to the company he had been hired to.
It felt like he wouldn’t have time to enjoy something like a date.
Lee-joonhyuk wore a backpack over his formal wear as he once again stood in front of the 12 floored building.
