Chapter 14: The Perfect Part-Timer
Son Suhyeon had been working part-time at the coffee shop for just over a year.
Since a young age, he'd worked countless part-time jobs to make ends meet. Most of them involved dealing with people, so he’d met more than enough of every kind of person to last a lifetime. Especially the scummy kind—plenty of sleazy or perverted bosses who didn’t even pay him. He would work just enough to get by, then quit and move on.
The café he currently worked at was the first place he’d stayed for more than a year. The reason he hadn’t quit was entirely because of the manager.
She cared about employee welfare, let him get paid early when he asked, and never once shorted him—if anything, she paid more than expected. She even raised his wages steadily, and when she heard he was in school, she adjusted his hours.
She was the kind of boss you almost never find.
And she had only one condition for Suhyeon: he had to take off his glasses while working. Since the café was far enough from school, there was almost no chance of running into students, so it hadn’t been a big deal.
That said, there was one minor problem.
“Could I get your number?”
“Have you ever considered modeling or acting?”
Business was booming—too well.
Customers kept pouring in, asking for his number, and scouts from agencies would drop off piles of business cards. It got so busy that he and the manager couldn’t handle it alone anymore, so they finally decided to hire someone new.
“No girls... Let’s stick with a guy.”
