"Zzzz...." There was a snoring sound in the classroom.
"Shouldn't we wake him up?" a student asked.
"Let him sleep. I've given up," the teacher replied.
Myung was a rude student at Daso High School. He didn't study; all he did was sleep. But his phone kept ringing, even at night...

"Hey, I accepted your delivery call. Do you want me to deliver this, chef?" a guy with a helmet asked.
"Yes!" the chef replied.
A customer and the chef whispered behind him.
"Is that him?"
"I guess so. He's Bedal, the delivery man!"
The customer ran towards Bedal and asked, "Bedal! Can we take a photo?"
"No, that's rude."
"Come on, man! You're a star! I'm your big fan."
Bedal jumped off the building and fell.
"Thank you, fanboy. See ya!" he said.
Myung delivers food at night. When he wears his helmet, he never reveals his true identity. People know him as Bedal the delivery man. Although people may call him rude, he enjoys his life more than anyone else."
"Here's your order!" Bedal handed the food over and said.
"Thank you, Bedal!" the customer smiled.
"It's Bedal!" In another house, two kids ran out of their home and greeted Bedal.
"Hey, kids. Have a nice dinner!"
During his break, Bedal checked how much he had earned that day. "This will be enough for this month," Bedal said. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise.
"What was that?"
Bedal looked down at the street and saw a bike rider hit by a truck.
"Hey, are you okay? I'll call 911 now!" he shouted.
Soon, an emergency van and a police car arrived.
"Thank you for the quick report, Mr... Bedal?" a police officer said.
"No problem. May I go now?" Bedal turned and tried to leave.
"Wait, it looks like the bike rider is a delivery guy, too."
"She had one package to deliver."
"I know what you're thinking, officer. Don't say it."
"Please, it's just one package."
"Damn it!"
Bedal headed towards his destination, muttering to himself, "Why should I do this?" It was almost midnight.
"Hey! Delivery here," the customer called out.
"Welcome, delivery guy. I've been waiting for you," a strange scientist said, emerging from the house.
"Give me the package. If you were five minutes late, the whole city would have blown up."
"What?!"
"Nothing. Thank you."
"Actually, I had heard about the car accident already. I really appreciate you delivering it instead."
"Tips then?"
"I'll give you my prototype."
"A backpack?"
"Thanks to the artificial muscle fabric, the backpack will be as light as a feather, no matter how much you put into it."
"Now get out of here."

The next morning, Daso High School was noisy as students chattered about Bedal.
"Hey, I saw Bedal last night!"
"No way! Really?"
"Yes! He was helping others in a car accident."
"I heard about it too! But Bedal was in there, too?"
"I'm so happy that there's a guy like him in our town."
"Me too! A superhero in our town, that's awesome!"
While taking a nap, Myung grinned.
