Episode 38

-Hey!!! Give me your address!

“Um… address?”

And what arrived two days later was a treatment box with Yeoreum’s photo on it.

[Superstar Han Yeoreum (๑ㅎOㅎ๑) First Commercial!]

Myeong Jeha wasn’t the only one who received the purple box.

“…Seriously.”

“Junseo. Where should we store these? Like usual, just keep a few and-.”

“Ah, no way. I’m taking them all. I’m not doing that ‘keep just a few’ thing. Don’t give them to other people. I’m going to count them. They’re all mine.”

Ju Junseo received them,

“Kyaa~~~ Han Yeoreum~~~ This came out so well!”

So Dami received them.

“It’s not as good as what I took. The photo. Of course, this isn’t bad either. Yeah yeah. It has feeling. But I’m a genius so I can definitely take much better ones.”

Dokgo Min also received the same box. Jjang Director and the Writer also received the same box.

“Director~! Where should we put these?”

“Honey, could you bring just a few of those over first?”

Of course, they also sent them to Dokgo Gyeol. Dokgo Gyeol picked up her cell phone and took photos of the treatment with the camera.

Click-!

Several shutter sounds were heard. Dokgo Gyeol tagged the product brand and uploaded it to her SNS story.

Youstastory

What I’ve been using well lately 🙂

Dokgo Gyeol had over 100,000 followers. The view count rapidly increased.

“Director. Did you receive advertising fees for that?”

“Advertising fees? I didn’t receive any.”

“But you’re just… doing advertising for free?”

It was truly unbelievable. Money-obsessed Dokgo Gyeol was acting strangely. Dokgo Gyeol spoke as if it were natural.

“She’s going to be our signboard. We need to secure the advertising effect properly from the start.”

“Oh come on, Director. Our shop has Eun Baekhap too, and while Han Yeoreum is cute, she’s not quite at the level to be Gogyeol’s signboard…”

“Honey. You still don’t know me?”

South Korea’s number one makeup artist whose name everyone in Cheongdam has heard.

“I’m Dokgo Gyeol.”

Dokgo Gyeol’s recommendation naturally showed rapid traffic influx.

It’s ALAB.

It’s a brand I’m hearing for the first time so there might be people going… what is this…

(Photo of Yeoreum and Gaeul.jpg)

Pi Chaewon and Hina are the models lololol

There are two types: Damaged Hair Treatment and Frizz-Reducing Treatment

They’ve been advertising like crazy lately so I thought the product quality was bullshit, but since they use it in Cheongdam, it seems worth buying

-Is there anyone who’s tried this? Since they use it in Cheongdam, I’m suddenly tempted

I tried it and it’s pretty good! First of all, the smell is amazing ㅠ

-The face match is good. Honestly it’s an unheard-of brand but since the model’s face is clearly visible, it’s easy to remember lol

-At this rate, Pi Chaewon obsessives will probably emerge too lol Pi Chaewon is pretty

︎˪Already coming out in droves ㅠ Just copying Son Minsu would be enough but there are so fucking many kids who went with that concept, it’s annoying….

Stories about ALAB products began appearing one by one on SNS. It wasn’t viral marketing. It meant that people sensitive to trends were voluntarily gathering. Han Yeoreum’s influence was gradually growing.

Ppo Junseo @pocketsiszzs

Pi Chaewon unnie bought me treatment and when I said I was a fan she was so happy, I’m wondering whether I should change my nickname to Ppo Yeoreum or not anyway she was super super cute up close and smelled like a woman, my nose tip became… fragrant

What the hell, I’m jealous you’re taking selfies with my girl ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

︎˪I really wanted to ask for just one tight hug but I held back by putting strength in my brain

︎˪What do you mean by woman smell; you seem to have a talent for writing tweets in a somewhat unpleasant way…

︎˪Good smells only come from women, what can I do about it

“Yeoreum!!!”

Aetami shed tears while saving Yeoreum’s photos.

“The dyed hair suits you so well too… sob sob…”

Aetami had also already used ALAB treatment this morning before coming out. Aetami ran her fingers through her own silky hair and checked ALAB’s reaction. She checked Yeoreum’s performance with the experience of an agency employee.

‘It must be good!’

Sure enough, Yeoreum was all over SNS.

The Intube video also had many views and comments for a regular advertisement video. It was proof that she was properly effective as an advertising model.

When she checked the Olive 0 app, ALAB products had climbed up to the top ranks.

“This used to be way down at the bottom.”

The advertising keyword was proceeding with the text ‘Pi Chaewon Pick’.

“It’s not Pi Chaewon, it’s Han Yeoreum.”

When would everyone know Yeoreum’s name? She was thinking that when.

“Huh… wait. Isn’t that a scenario?”

In the eyewitness photo, she could see the script that Yeoreum was holding in her arms. Although the text wasn’t clearly visible because it was covered by her arm, the title seemed to be partially visible.

Zing-.

[Hey fuck Yeoreum is doing a movie!!!Ah!!!!!!]

[I heard the director clapped like crazy after seeing the audition ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

And just then, Wi Jaehwi, a Daily Media reporter and Deodeok.B member, contacted her.

* * *

I looked at the camera while holding a vermillion orchid.

The lens repeatedly closed while making click- click- sounds as if blinking. It was because Dokgo Min, who had seen the ALAB photoshoot pictures, contacted me saying she had to work with me right away.

‘Personal work. That’s good for me.’

I don’t have an entertainment agency right now, and since my next work is a movie, I don’t know when it will be released. Nothing beats SNS for spreading portfolios everywhere.

‘ALAB happened to let me make an impression while advertising their products.’

But it’s far from enough. I need something that can imprint me in people’s minds.

Thinking that, I immersed myself in the shoot for a while. Finally, the shooting was over.

“As expected, I’m a genius. Yeah yeah. Depending on the lighting angle, the orchid and hair color look exactly the same. They harmonize like they’re just one flower…”

Dokgo Min was about to take out the memory card.

Ding-dong-.

The studio’s doorbell rang.

“Who is it?”

Dokgo Min frowned and tried to ignore the doorbell. However, as the bell kept ringing repeatedly, she walked toward the door with heavy, irritated steps.

“Hello.”

There are people you can recognize just by their voice, even without seeing their face.

“Yeoreum called me over. May I come in?”

It was Myeong Jeha.

Myeong Jeha, holding a donut in one hand and coffee in the other, showed them to Dokgo Min as if luring her with food.

Dokgo Min, who was weak to beautiful things, relaxed her expression as soon as she saw Myeong Jeha’s face.

“Sure! Yes, yes. Come in.”

Myeong Jeha familiarly entered Dokgo Min’s studio and settled down on the sofa. Dokgo Min circled around Myeong Jeha, checking out his face.

“It’s Myeong Jeha, right? You should take some photos before you go.”

“Yes. I’ll do that.”

“Yes, yes! Then wait.”

What was that conversation? It was understandable for Dokgo Min, who only said what she wanted to say, but what about Myeong Jeha? Dokgo Min was already biting into the donut and checking the photos she had just taken.

“Senior. I have more than just one or two things to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“First, how did you know about Dokgo Min’s studio?”

“It would be strange if I didn’t know…”

Only then did I recall my memories from before the regression.

I remembered the work that Myeong Jeha and Dokgo Min had done together. Every photo they shot together was called legendary and would set the internet ablaze.

“Then how did you know I was here?”

“Dokgo Min’s routine is easy to figure out. If I waited a week after your advertisement photos were released, that’s plenty of waiting. Since you wouldn’t refuse work, I figured you’d be here. Haha.”

Myeong Jeha handed me coffee and leisurely adjusted his posture.

This ridiculous composure made me feel reverent. He only looked twenty, but I couldn’t even guess his actual age.

“So why did you come?”

“To see you.”

“…Liar.”

“Haha. That didn’t work.”

Myeong Jeha smiled with his eyes crinkling. It was obvious that he’d been able to smooth things over with his face whenever problems arose.

“I’ll tell you later.”

Just then, Dokgo Min, who had finished checking the last photo, turned her head so quickly it made a whooshing sound.

“You stand over there! Yes, yes. It’s fortunate that today’s prop flowers are orchids. They suit you well, Myeong Jeha. Yes. Right.”

“Wait until I’m done shooting.”

Myeong Jeha left those words and stood in front of the horizon. The orchids I had been holding just moments before were now in Myeong Jeha’s hands.

“Wow…”

An exclamation escaped me without realizing it. Every time the camera shutter clicked, his gaze toward the lens changed. Myeong Jeha was truly Myeong Jeha.

His Delivery and Artistry sparkled brilliantly. I could instantly feel that he was a celebrity from a different dimension.

* * *

“So. Why did you come?”

As soon as Myeong Jeha returned to the sofa, I brought up the main topic again. Dokgo Min was absorbed in retouching.

“I thought I’d start helping Yeoreum in earnest from now on.”

Myeong Jeha sat down next to me. The seat was uncomfortably close.

His voice was gentle, but somehow felt like a threat.
