Chapter 286

“Ah… I’ve never really thought about it.”

At Na Yuna’s bland response, the conversation topic changed once again.

The topic was group blind dates and mixers. These were essential parts of the college life fantasy. The table became lively.

“I want to hang out with guys from the physical education department. Does anyone know someone?”

“I just became friends with this guy recently and his face is decent. Let me show you his friends too.”

“I don’t like doing it with people from the same school. Even if they’re from other departments, what if we run into each other later! It would be awkward.”

Na Yuna turned her body halfway around. She kept some distance from the new students who were huddled together to look at someone’s profile photo displayed on a phone.

“Hey. But let’s stop talking about this stuff.”

It was the voice of that classmate who had just redirected the arrow toward Yuna.

Her voice was particularly loud, so attention focused on her instantly.

“Yuna unnie will get hurt!”

That voice mixed with laughter was clearly not words spoken out of genuine concern.

Yuna awkwardly crossed her arms. It was a posture that emerged from her subconscious need to protect herself.

“Huh? Why Yuna unnie?”

“It would be a bit much if unnie went on group dates, you know. Even seniors who are just one year older say that freshmen are like grandmas, and if you don’t do group dates in your first year, when will you ever do them?”

Even at this time, the age of twenty held absolute power. The college calculation that made you instantly become a grandmother once you turned twenty-one also applied to Na Yuna.

Na Yuna, who was two whole years older than the twenty-one-year-old sophomores, felt her cheeks burn.

“Unnie, don’t worry. You’re pretty, so I’ll bring some other seniors and introduce them to you.”

“Right. Yuna unnie just doesn’t dress up, but if she actually did, she’d be the type to become really pretty.”

Words without malice were casually thrown around. The classmate who had put Yuna on the chopping block smiled brightly.

Why is healing called healing?

Director So calculated that it’s an emotion that starts from a wounded state.

So Yesol smiled as she carefully packed the wounds that Na Yuna, Jeong Heejeong, and Ko Yunkyo would have to receive into the camera like a diary.

[Room Powder/ Han Yeoreum fan signing blush official answer is up! It’s a D company product]

Teacher Gogyeol posted it on her Insta story. It’s D company’s Whipping Glow Filter 04 Daisy haha A lot of similar products came out, so I should have waited a bit before buying it..ㅠ No wonder the color payoff was different from the photos lol

– Wow thank you so muchㅠㅠㅠ I was actually desperately looking for this (≡^∇^≡)

-When I saw Han Yeoreum’s photo I really wanted it but seeing the official website color payoff makes me not want to buy it.. Is it just me lol

Me too, it looks muddy on the official website ㅜ I think it’s just because our skin tones are different

If you hesitate, it’ll be sold out again – I just went ahead and bought it without thinking twice~! haha

“Hehehehe…”

Manager Ma showed a satisfied smile while scrolling.

Company A’s lip product sold out twice in a row – once during 【Mom and Dad】 and once during 【The Great Garland】.

And this time it was Company D’s blush.

JC ENM released many high-resolution photos during the fan signing event. Right now, Han Yeoreum was undoubtedly the hottest celebrity.

The viral response had to be positive.

[HOT/ The celebrity who talks more than fans at fan signings right now.jpg]

She’s signing with her hands while talking nonstop with her mouth and keeping her eyes fixed on the fan lolol

(Photo of Yeoreum signing.jpg)

Anonymous1: There’s not a single photo where she’s not smiling lolol

Anonymous2: Huijae… seeing you smile makes me happy… ^~^… are you doing well?

ㄴAnonymous 11: Please don’t even mention that name, it breaks our hearts

Anonymous39: Her skin is insane and the blusher is so cute ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ahhh my girl

Anonymous42: Today’s dice roll is 6 lol the hair, makeup, and coordination are perfect

“Anyway, you have to acknowledge Dokgo Gyeol’s sense for making money.”

Dokgo Gyeol chose Yeoreum’s two cheeks as what would stand out most at Han Yeoreum’s fan signing. The apricot-colored blush applied on her cheeks that lifted when she smiled was enough to capture people’s attention.

It was natural attraction. Han Yeoreum never stopped smiling for even a moment at the fan signing.

The apricot color on her soft cheeks sparkled in every single photo. The transparency that could be felt through the screen stood out.

“Look at her selling her own glow stick in the middle of all this…”

A skin texture that couldn’t be achieved with blush alone.

Dokgo Gyeol created makeup that anyone would want to copy by applying a glow stick made with a marble case over Yeoreum’s cheeks.

The results were quickly proven.

[04 Daisy/ Sold Out]

As soon as word spread that Han Yeoreum used it, it sold out in less than a day.

Company D’s product went viral not only in communities where cosmetics enthusiasts gathered but also in general communities.

-This is still available offline, I’m going to buy it at the department store!

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ They even confirmed my payment but damn, there’s a shipping delay..fuck, it’s coming in 3 weeks

-(Photo of similar product.jpg) Iksuns who have both, can this be a substitute?

High-end fashion has a clear hierarchy even within a single brand.

First. Global house ambassador that only stars whose faces come to mind just from hearing their names can occupy.

They can truly be described as the face of the brand. They’re entrusted with all products including fashion, beauty, and jewelry.

Second. Fashion ambassador.

They’re used mainly for couture fashion shows and high fashion magazines. Sometimes their dress appearances at award ceremonies become hot topics.

Every season change, they release ‘wearing shots’ of them wearing and holding new products in front of stores.

Third. Beauty ambassador.

They advertise cosmetic products like perfume, lips, and skincare.

While there are separate official models who shoot CFs and pictorials at headquarters, beauty ambassadors shoot separate pilot pictorials for domestic magazines.

And finally, fourth. Campaign model.

Ambassadors who make one-time contracts for seasonal limited or domestic campaigns.

Han Yeoreum aimed for the third one. Beauty ambassador.

“Since Eun Baekhap already has the global house.”

Eun Baekhap is one of the few internationally popular actresses. She currently has the undisputed number one SNS followers among actresses.

Company D, which expected this work to become her representative piece, had no choice but to value her highly.

As soon as episode 8 of 【The Great Garland】 ended, Company D released articles about Eun Baekhap’s ambassadorship as if they had been waiting.

They jumped on the buzz of Gi Taeseok and Yeonhuijae’s reunion scene as if they had been waiting.

“But for cosmetics, there’s no better choice than Yeoreum.”

Manager Ma looked at her phone. Unless they were idiots.

Ring-. Ring-. Ring-.

“They have to answer.”

Manager Ma picked up the phone. As expected, her prediction was right.

It was a call wanting to select Han Yeoreum as Company D’s beauty ambassador.

“Three years.”

Manager Ma smiled upon hearing the duration.

“Hehehehe… Hehehehe…!”

The period was sufficient. She would raise her to devour Eun Baekhap during those three years.

Han Yeoreum would grow into a global ambassador.

[【The Great Garland】 Han Yeoreum’s pictorial with Company D revealed]

[Exclusive⎜Company D’s new beauty, K-rising star Han Yeoreum shows legendary life shots]

“Wow.”

This was Daily Media located in Jongno-gu. As the year-end approached, the entertainment news team was bound to get busy.

With less than a month left until the year-end award ceremonies, reporters were writing the name of the constantly achieving rising star Han Yeoreum in headlines every day.

“How many ads does she have now?”

“Let me see… Company N, hair product ALAB, Creamy Soda, after shooting Weland there’s Meroni milk and hot chocolate, bedding… and lastly this one. Seven total.”

“That’s fewer than I thought? Is that really all?”

“It’s not about the quantity, it’s about the amount. Everyone swarmed like a pack of dogs but Manager Ma turned them all away.”

“True, it’s a shame to consume her image at this time. But Company D is definitely big league.”

The reporters had said, heard, and written Han Yeoreum’s name so much that they knew her schedule as well as her manager.

“Han Yeoreum is definitely doing well.”

Someone drew out their words. It seemed like they had something they wanted to say.

“It looks like she’s got the KBC Rookie Award in the bag, right?”

Everyone was expecting what came next.

“But can she beat Eun Baekhap?”

Right now, among the reporters, there was a subtle battle brewing over who would receive KBC’s Best Couple Award.

The arguments from both sides were extremely close.

“No, but this initial impact! You know? Bang! It hits you. Bang!”

“You have to look at the latter half. The story is what matters.”

“Eun Baekhap is nominated in two categories, so I think this side has more potential.”

There’s a saying that movies are the director’s game, dramas are the writer’s game.

Success is determined by who holds the key to box office success.

And now, Writer An of 【The Great Garland】, An Junmyeong, had hit it so big that there wasn’t a person in the industry who didn’t know her name.

Currently, Garland was truly a case where the writer had caught divine inspiration.

The image of a happy newlywed couple hung there like a masterpiece. Taeseok could only gaze at Huijae’s past moment with trembling emotion.

“CEO Gi and I might be a good match.”

A gentle voice pierced his ears. Taeseok lowered his head toward Taejin, who was seated right below the wedding photo.

“He’s planning to expand the coffee business even bigger.”

In this era when sugar was indispensable to coffee, he was an absolute superior even to Gi Taeseok.

He was a big shot whose potential earnings were impossible to predict.

But why couldn’t he even manage a hollow laugh? Taeseok quietly shifted his gaze.

The young girl he had wanted to see even once in his dreams was looking at him.

“…Yes. I’m planning to supply to every hotel in Seoul.”

“What a wonderful plan. Actually, when I returned to Seoul, I was so surprised. Both this person and I were so different from when we left for the United States that we couldn’t take our eyes off each other.”

A large hand touched her delicate shoulder soothingly. His eyes grew hot. Taeseok’s entire body heated up.

As if someone had set him on fire, every nerve cell in his body was pounding wildly.

He wanted to scream for help. He wanted to kick away from this place and run out to pour ice-cold water over himself. Then maybe he could wake up from this dream.

Perhaps this was a terrible nightmare created by his desire to see her face just once.

“Come to think of it, it’ll soon be the season when flowers bloom brightly. It seems like you’ve returned at the perfect time. I’m looking forward to seeing how beautiful Seoul will become.”

Huijae, drinking clear tea instead of coffee, spoke for the first time.

“The pear blossoms I first saw in Joseon… will bloom abundantly soon.”

It wasn’t a dream. Taeseok couldn’t even imagine Huijae with an unfamiliar voice.

The young girl who used to speak Korean like a child had grown up so much.

Huijae brought up a story that only the two of them could know. Taeseok’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

Huijae’s eyes that met his were kind.

A harmonious family, a loving husband, a happy life. And an unwelcome guest who could only watch.

Right now, Taeseok was the perfect third party. He had no memory of what state of mind he was in during the conversation.

Only after enduring what felt like eons could he turn his back on Huijae.

The moment Taeseok came out of Taejin’s house, he began dry heaving. After suffering for a while, Taeseok staggered forward.

-This was really fucking miserable from when the trailer came out

-What should I do, I’m tearing up too..ㅠㅠㅠㅠ…

-Ji Haebeom please just film more suffering, his face is insane, he’s totally husband material//

After that, Taeseok shut himself in his office. Every time he closed his eyes, Huijae’s wedding photo appeared vividly.

Let’s climb higher.

Only that desire kept Taeseok alive.

The answer was simple. There was no need to think long about it. All he had to do was eliminate that person next to her.
