Chapter 320
Han Yeoreum with red hair wearing a pure white dress clenched both fists and shook them from side to side.
“The ice cream waffle might melt, so it’s best to eat it quickly.”
Behind the very politely speaking part-time worker, every visible table was packed with people.
Anyone could tell at a glance that this was a popular cafe.
“Thank you-. Unnie unnie, this is amazing! Ah, so cu-u-ute-.”
“Hey, you look fucking pretty right now. Stay still. Mouth shut.”
“Okay.”
Yeoreum, who had been smiling brightly, straightened her expression as her unnie said and cast her eyes down wistfully.
With natural gaze handling, the photo was taken like a calm everyday scene where she seemed to have afternoon tea every day.
Click! Click!
The unnies and Influencer 1, who had maintained their friendship since the club incident, had beautifully set up afternoon tea and were enthusiastically taking photos.
“Hey wait, you pouring this. Yeah yeah, like that.”
“Am I okay right now? Pretty?”
“Yeah yeah. Mouth shut.”
“Okay.”
The unnies who coldly responded to Influencer 1’s attempts at conversation diligently took photos for her. Influencer 1 Han Yeoreum also quickly took photos of the unnies.
“No no, unnie. That’s not it.”
“Right side? Left side? But I’m left-face-ugly.”
“Mouth shut.”
“…What did you just say to your unnie?”
Influencer 1, who had told her unnie to shut her mouth the same way the unnie had done, immediately cowered.
‘Mouth shut’ was a kind of command word that only unnies could use. The moment a younger sister used it, it became insubordination.
“No… I just meant don’t say that since both left and right sides are pretty…”
“I’ll let you off this once.”
“Yeah…”
“Stay alert.”
“Yes…”
Influencer 1, who had been lightly put in her place, took photos with an even more serious posture than before.
Like a prepared lackey, she knelt on the marble floor while pressing the shutter. The women sitting at nearby tables looked at Influencer 1.
“Hey, I should have taken photos like that for you too.”
“You’re one to talk…”
Everyone envied Influencer 1 as she lay down flat to take photos. They all seemed to want exactly that kind of lackey younger sister.
“Let me do this just a bit more, just once more.”
Click-!
“Put this here.”
Click-!
The part-time workers standing at the pickup counter sighed as they watched the group of influencers.
“It’s all… melting…”
No one listened to the advice to eat quickly since the ice cream was melting.
All the female customers seated at tables had ordered the Berryvery afternoon tea and were taking photos.
Ding!
SNS notification sounds rang out simultaneously. People who had taken photos were uploading them to social media.
Square status windows appeared above the customers. Photos uploaded to SNS feeds were visible.
#Cheongdam #BrunchCafe #BerryveryAfternoonTea #Healing
Location tag: ▼Berryvery Love in Cheongdam-dong
Beautifully taken photos floated above their heads. However, the unnies sitting with Influencer 1 didn’t upload photos.
Instead, they buried their heads and moved their hands over the cell phones placed on the table.
“What are you doing? Not eating?”
“Wait and see. They didn’t order it to eat.”
When the novice part-time worker at the pickup counter wondered, the veteran part-time worker shook her head.
As she said, they didn’t even glance at the Berryvery afternoon tea.
“Ah! Unnie, the background got distorted here, right?”
“Don’t push it in with your hand, go into background settings like this and narrow the width. You have to press this, okay?”
“Then the middle part gets too long though.”
“There’s a face-excluded version. You haven’t subscribed to this. Invest 6,000 won per month for your looks.”
After concentrating and finishing their editing, they got photo confirmation from each other.
“Good.”
“Yeah.”
“Okay.”
Only after getting permission from the unnies did Influencer 1 upload the photo.

-Your image is so good, I want to be friends lol Please check your DMs
-Unnie your face is legendary again today..ㅠㅠ Are you a fairy or what
-Hahahaha dude, no way! I went there yesterday too ㅜ You should’ve hit me up
-Hello, this is Apple Enzyme that captures health and beauty in daily life. Contacting you about sponsorship…
Ding, ding, ding.
Influencer 1’s photo, which received far more likes than other tables, appeared at the top when searching for ‘Berryvery Love’ cafe.
Influencer 1 looked at the number of likes with satisfaction…
“What are you doing again?”
“Selfie time.”
She didn’t. She held a cute drink in one hand, brought it close to her face, and took selfies.
-Pretty…
The song that had now become Influencer 1’s theme song played. Her face went into slow motion. Influencer 1 slowly closed and opened her eyes.
* * *
Small laughter erupted in the theater. Chungmuro civil servant Director Gong sensitively caught the audience’s reaction.
There was a reason Director Gong had placed Influencer 1 first.
‘She’s a character that’s comfortable to laugh at.’
She was cute, naturally clumsy, and had an unlikeable lightness to her.
There was no one better suited than Han Yeoreum to open the 100-minute runtime.
There was a unique comfort that came from an actor whose acting ability had already been proven.
Movie tickets are like invitations.
What allows audiences to joyfully visit the world created by the director is not an actor who is acting. It’s a person who lives and moves as that character.
‘Who would think they’re the same person.’
Han Yeoreum, who had made audiences cry as Yeonhuijae until recently, was in a completely transformed state.
She had melted into the role as if she had truly become Influencer 1 herself.
Her body language, her expressions. Everything was the complete opposite of Huijae. Influencer 1, who was impatient and had varied expressions, was still clumsy.
“Ah, it’s cold.”
Cold water flowed down the glass surface. Influencer 1 quickly put the glass back on the table and finally picked up the cake.
“Am I eating this? Is it okay to eat? Did we take all the photos?”
“Who told you to eat!!!”
A shout came from nearby. Influencer 1 turned her face toward where the sound came from.
“No, honey… I thought it was okay to eat now…”
“We haven’t finished taking photos! Yet!”
The woman who shouted in a rough voice gritted her teeth looking at the man who had taken a sip of his drink.
“Sorry, really sorry…”
“Sigh… Again.”
The man quickly put down the drink he was sipping and picked up his phone with the camera turned on.
“Show me.”
“Mm.”
“Ah, properly. Right up to below the chest.”
“Mm….”
“Lower.”
“Mm….”
“Higher.”
“Mm….”
The woman who kept giving orders until she was satisfied with how her face looked on camera made a cute expression.
Click-click-click-click-click-click-click! The man pressing the shutter button in rapid succession was completely intimidated. Soon, the woman uploaded the photos to social media.
Ding. An SNS window appeared above the woman’s head.

I totally support the face combination of those two girls from Tetona ㅠㅠㅠ
-Unnie you’re really so delicate and pretty.. truly a heavenly woman
-My favorite couple ♡ I really want to meet a reliable boyfriend like Ye-in unnie’s too ( *ฅ́˘ฅ̀*)
“Eat.”
“Mm…. Thank you…!”
Only after his girlfriend nodded approvingly did the boyfriend carefully sip his smoothie, holding the cup with both hands.
“…I can really eat this, right?”
“Yeah yeah. Eat.”
Influencer 1, who had also been reading the mood, quietly picked up her cake again. Taking a bite of cream with her fork, Influencer 1’s eyes widened.
“Whoa, crazy….”
“There she goes being dramatic again.”
“Mm, I’m not lying. It’s delicious.”
The unnies were busy editing their photos and didn’t play along with Influencer 1. Eating her dessert alone, Influencer 1 asked the unnies.
“But really, none of you are eating?”
“We’re on a diet.”
“Really, after you lose weight, even the number of likes is different, you know? Can’t eat like this.”
Now satisfied with their editing, the unnies also started uploading their photos to SNS one by one. What they said was true.
Ding! Ding! Ding-ding-ding!
The speed of likes was different. Influencer 1 stared at her own photo gradually being pushed down in the #BerryBerryLove tag popularity ranking.
The woman in first place was undeniably beautiful. Her full-body shot was incredible.
“Unnie, do you think this is edited?”
Influencer 1 carefully showed them, making sure not to accidentally like the photo. The unnies frowned and stared intently at the woman in the photo.
“I don’t think so?”
“Oh? I know her through someone. She’s naturally like this.”
“Hieek! Really?”
Influencer 1’s group made a fuss. The unnie who said she knew the woman in the photo spoke secretively.
“But I knew her before she lost weight, you know? She lost a seriously incredible amount. And in a short time too.”
“…How?”
The screen changed. Opposite to the cafe shown just before, a shabby building appeared.
The camera naturally moved inside the building. Inside, there was luxurious interior design. Women were lined up on every floor of the stairs.
A man climbed the stairs.
“Hmm, hmm-.”
Holding coffee in one hand, he seemed to be in a good mood as he roughly counted the patients while finally reaching the top of the building, where a transparent door appeared before him.
[Minerva Clinic]
He opened the door to that space with bright, warm lighting and walked in.
“Good morning-.”
“Yeah. Good morning-.”
He went into the director’s office located in the deepest part. With reverent hands, he put on the pure white coat that was hanging there, letting it flutter.
The name engraved on the chest of the man who greeted leisurely was Director, Sa Hyeonseok.
Even his name seemed suspicious. It reeked of gambling, but his profession was undoubtedly that of a doctor.
Director Gong thought casting Han Yohan was truly a stroke of genius.
There was a certain cheapness felt in his calm, honest face and refined, ingrained body movements.
The fear that comes from the feeling that because it’s so well-packaged, it’s hard to gauge what’s inside.
Hyeon Seok sat in his chair and spoke with a kind face. The nameplate on his desk gleamed proudly.
“Well then. Shall we start serving our little lambs waiting in line outside today too?”
The hospital doors opened. The women who had been waiting outside practically ran to the desk.
“I have a reservation. Kim Jeonggeun.”
“です。”
“Ah, don’t push!”
“!”
“Manager-. Our customers have been waiting a long time?”
It wasn’t just Koreans. Japanese and Chinese people had joined too. The foreigners who even brought interpreters seemed to show just how many patients visited this hospital.
Among them was that woman.
“Doctor, could you increase the intensity a bit this time?”
It was that woman from the photo that Influencer 1 had admired as pretty.
The woman who uploaded a full-body shot sitting on Cafe Berry Berry Love’s cherry velvet sofa without any editing was incredibly beautiful.
“Oh my…. How was it last time.”
“That, one pill doesn’t seem to work. Of course it’s really good. It’s good but. But I keep… feeling like I’m gaining weight again… so….”
“I see. That must have been difficult.”
Hyeon Seok lightly empathized with the anxious patient. His eyes were warm.
“It could be a signal that your body is trying to return to its original state. Or… it could be a psychological backlash. For you, it could be both. You’ve been struggling for such a long time.”
To the little lamb confessing her sins, he was the only support she could lean on, truly like a pillar.
“But I told you before, right? It’s just a supplement, so you can’t rely only on medication. This has side effects if taken in a sensitive state.”
“Doctor… I’m really sorry. If you just do this once more for me, I won’t be greedy anymore.”
“Sigh…. From my position, this is really troubling. You’ve seen so many effects, and among all the patients I’ve seen, you’ve made the most effort….”
The director sighed.
“But it won’t do.”
“Director!”
“Absolutely not. Absolutely not.”
At the director’s refusal, a look of despair crossed the woman’s face.
“These days there are many patients illegally trading drugs in secret chat rooms on Telegram and such, and it really breaks my heart. As a doctor, I think such things should never happen. You can’t become too dependent. You know that.”
The director’s voice was warm and gentle.
“You really can’t get involved with such things. They’re not even officially distributed drugs… Anyway. Patient. Spraying lavender-scented mist or drinking peppermint tea greatly helps suppress appetite. Current symptoms like dry mouth or anxiety will ease if you rest well.”
A kindness that seemed to truly care for the patient emanated from him.
“Today I’ll give you Duvil, and just half a pill of the Consecta you took before. You know Saxenda is not allowed. Belviq was also recalled after FDA approval recently. High cancer risk. After all, health is….”
The woman, who couldn’t properly listen to the director typing, left the examination room with weak steps.
The director staring intently at such a woman seemed to have already seen through something.
Telegram, illegal group chats.
That only those words would remain in the mind of the woman leaving the examination room.
“Next patient-.”
The woman would soon get her hands on high-intensity drugs incomparable to her current medication.
Sa Hyeonseok smiled with a kind face. Just like a really good doctor.
