Chapter 18: Part-Timer (2)
I left the store. It was raining outside, so I sat on the parasol chair. Come to think of it, it was strange that the chemistry of my body had changed. I never even thought about smoking all day.
In my previous life, I was a heavy smoker.
Hey, watch. Lee Dohoon doesn’t smoke?
[That’s right.]
Just one smoke shouldn’t be a problem. I peeled off the plastic wrapper and pulled out a new cigarette.
From the corner of my eye, I saw a sign titled “Lost and Found.”
Oh, right. The lost book.
As soon as that thought came to mind, I remembered that I had to contact Suyeon. I forgot about it because the boss lady suddenly sent a text message.
I left Suyeon a message with the cigarette in my mouth.
Suyeon, a high school student asked me if you happened to find a book. Yesterday, he left it at the store while you were working.
After sending the text, I lit the cigarette in my mouth. As soon as I took a puff, my head became dizzy.
What is this? It feels like smoking for the first time in ages.
I liked the hazy feeling cigarettes gave me. While enjoying the pleasure, a Kkeetok sound rang out rather than a text notification.
Jeon Sueyon, convenience store glasses woman
So fast? Are we close friends now?
I wrote a reply right away.
Yeah, he forgot…
But before I could type it all down, the messaging app buzzed.
But what book is it?
I don’t remember seeing any books.
Did he lose it during my working hours?
“Wow. What kind of b*stard can type this fast?”
I deleted the previous message and typed it again.
Yeah, he left it at the store yesterday when you were working.
After I pressed send, three or four messages came in a row.
I don’t know. I didn’t see it.
Guess who took it.
Why are you so slow?
Are you working right now? 
“Haha! This girl is like a cannon firing nonstop.”
As soon as I saw a customer entering the store, I rubbed off the cigarette b*tt and went inside. After checking out the customer’s items, I opened Kakao Talk again. 5 numbers appeared on the screen of the app. In the meantime, 5 new ones have been sent.
When I checked the contents, Suyeon was talking about how delicious the food was at Sanggyunrye Shop today. Some pictures of the food were attached.
I gave up on replying and asked the watch, Are kids today usually fast in exchanging replies?
[It’s a generational difference.]
Great. I suppose I’ll have to keep up appearances.
Looking back, the impulsive action I did with the boss lady was the result of my mental age and the change in my body’s chemistry. My mindset is not that of Lee Jungwoo, but that of Lee Dohoon. I’m slowly becoming him.
In Lee Jungwoo’s eyes, the female boss, Heo Youngja, was an attractive enough woman, but that’s just it. She’s just a 40-year-old woman. This wasn’t the case for Lee Dohoon.
I somewhat felt a bit bitter because I had given my first time so easily. From now on, I should choose more carefully.
Right. It’s my first time. Isn’t there any reward? When you look at games like that, if you catch a monster that appears for the first time, you get a lot of experience, right?
[You are talking about the feat system. Unfortunately, in this case, it’s not applicable.]
A feat?
[I will show you through the display window.]
I checked the watch and the menu had changed.

Every time the display screen changed, extraordinary feats were presented. Among them, there were also many perverted contents that shocked me to the core. Who the h*ll made this sh*t?
