Rebirth: King to Superstar

Chapter 29 - Rich Students And Trouble?

The next day started the same way as the past two-three days. Getting ready, Joon-won made his way to the store for his shift. It was the last day of the week and tomorrow he could have a day off. He couldn't just relax completely though because there was still the exam on Sunday.

Reaching the store, he changed his clothes and took over Eum Kyung and he rested for the half an hour left in his shift. Joon-won didn't forget to tell his thoughts on the book, at least until he read and Eum Kyung took it seriously.

By the time they finished discussing, they noticed Gah Doo taking care of customers. Both thanked her as they didn't notice any customers when they were discussing, and Gah Soo luckily came quicker than usual. Eum Kyung told Joon-won his thanks and walked away to change his clothes.

The two continued to tend to customers and took rest when there were none. Sitting on the chairs, they talked about random things until Gim Da walked in. Both stood up and greeted their boss as he greeted them back.

After a while, as the clock struck 10, they noticed Gim Da walking out into the store. As he did, they noticed two students walk into the store. Gim Da immediately went to them and spoke in a flattering tone. This caught Joon-won by surprise, as he didn't think Gim Da was that type of person. But he got interested in the two students who walked in to make a man like Gim Da treat with respect.

"Boss, we didn't think you'd be in the store." One of the two students spoke as they walked inside. It was a man and beside him was a woman. The guy was giving shrewd vibes, which didn't work with Joon-won.

"Young Master, of course, I'll be here every day. I need to take care of this store after all. I see that both you and the young miss are well." With the same smile.

Hearing him, the man held his chest out as and peeked at the woman beside him. But she didn't seem to care as she looked around the store and walked away to get a few things. As she did the man immediately followed her, leaving Gim Da.

Joon-won could hear the boss exhaling in relief and slowly walk behind them. He looked at Gah Soo as he was confused about the whole ordeal. She only shook her head and whispered, "I don't know who they are too. They come once a week and the boss is respectful to them every day. My guess is they have a big background as I saw the cars they drive and it's different each time and even if I work this entire life, I won't be able to buy the cheapest one."

Joon-won nodded, understanding the general situation. It is natural that the boss would be respectful to the two students even though they were younger. After all he is only an owner of a small supermarket in a big city.

Joon-won didn't think much about the two and simply sat back in the chair. He didn't want to deal with those both as they gave off the vibe of bringing him trouble. Gah Soo noticed his action and stood in front of the counter.

The woman caught his small actions as she stared right towards him. She raised an eyebrow before letting out a small smile. She turned towards the boss and asked, "Boss Gim, who is that new employee. I didn't see him the last time we came here." Pointing at the seated Joon-won.

"Oh, young miss, he is a new employee I hired at the beginning of the week. He also studies at the same university as a young miss and young master." Giving a brief introduction about the young kid. He didn't mention the name on purpose, as he didn't know why she asked about him.

"Oh, he studies in the same university as us? What a coincidence."

She nodded while still looking at Joon-won. Joon-won noticed an unmoving stare and moved his head towards the source to see the woman staring right at him. He had his usual deadpan face as he stared back. The woman chuckled, seeing him stare right back, and continued to shop.

This of course caught the young master's attention as he looked at the boss and asked in a pissed-off tone, "What's his name and which year is he in? Which course is he studying?" Demanding an answer. His tone didn't look friendly at all, and the boss felt sad for the youngster who caught the attention of the two.

The young miss stopped as she paid attention to the boss's answer.

"His name is Kim Joon-won, and I remember he was telling me he was still in his first year and is also studying to become an actor." He immediately replied, while praying they both didn't have any bad intentions towards the nice boy.

"The first year? He should be in the normal batch if he works here. Dirt poor idiots in those batches." He scoffed in disdain. But the young miss didn't have any reaction, and she continued to walk with a smile after hearing the answer.

The young man didn't like that the woman in front of him stopped and asked for his information. But seeing the young woman walk away, he followed after her after sending a glare towards Joon-won.

Joon-won was now completely confused. He couldn't understand what just happened. But by the looks on all three of their faces, he could guess what is happening. He wanted to avoid this very same scenario. The woman didn't give him good vibes either, and now there might be trouble coming his way. He hated young, dumb boys who are head over heels for women.
