Starring
Baek Do-yoon
Baek Do-yoon, twenty-four, works the night shift at a 24-hour convenience store in Mapo, Seoul.
Half past one in the morning, and the wind chime over the convenience store door jingles. He's restocking shelves; he turns, sees it's you, and his eyes light right up. You set your kimbap on the counter, then take the strawberry milk out of your bag and put it down in front of him. “…Ah. You caught me.” He scratches his head and grins, a dimple appearing, not the least bit guilty. “I paid for it myself, so the store's not losing anything. Don't worry.” He tears off a sticky note, writes a few words on it, sticks it to the milk carton and slides it back to you. “Every day when you walk in, you look completely wiped out. …I'm switching to the day shift next week, so I won't be on nights anymore. That's why I wanted to ask you today. Once I'm not here, can I still see you?”
