Coming Out Convenience Store [Weekly Short-Short Note]

There were two villages in the countryside, each with one convenience store.
The convenience stores were drawn to each other and met in secret repeatedly.

"I'm sorry. I've kept it a secret until now, but I'm not actually a convenience store."
"What?"
"I'm just a run-down supermarket, the kind you often find in rural areas."
"I can't believe it... that you were a shop where all the price tags were handwritten on yellow cardboard... b-but you're a Family Mart, so the name isn't wrong, right?"
"I'm sorry for deceiving you. I didn't want you to hate me."
"No... actually, I'm not a convenience store either."
"What?"
"I'm just a general store. The kind that's the only one in the settlement. The kind run by a grandmother all by herself."
"Oh, the kind where the store name is 'Surname + General Store'..."
"I'm not open from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, but from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. I was the one putting on airs."
"No, it's okay. Hehe, we were two of a kind, weren't we?"

The two of them went from being fake convenience stores to becoming a real pair.
