Episode 52

“Then shall this Ryu Lisa dress you up exactly as you want? Since I’m working for free, I should at least have this kind of fun.”

Ju Junseo poured out harsh words from behind.

“You said you were busy, but you seem to have plenty of time. I mean, this isn’t even a variety show, why are you giving missions like this? It’s ridiculous… With that much experience, you should be able to output what suits someone the moment you see their face. What are you trying to do right now…”

“Shh. Junseo. You’re only supposed to say things like that in your head.”

“I said it for her to hear. Noona, you have no conscience, doing this to a young kid. You called us to the agency because you wanted to do this, right? I wondered why you didn’t just tell us to come to the office.”

I looked around the showroom for a moment. In the endlessly spacious area, countless outfits were hanging.

From luxury brands that anyone would recognize by name alone, to designer brands I was seeing for the first time.

The quantity was overwhelming enough to be burdensome to even remember each piece. So much so that it wasn’t easy to reach for any particular outfit.

“What? Can’t do it?”

But here’s the thing.

“No. Just give me 30 minutes.”

I know all the trends of this era. Even the upcoming fashions that haven’t been revealed to the public yet.

I had no intention of missing the opportunity to work with Ryu Lisa for free.

‘I should actually be grateful.’

I hope Ryu Lisa takes an interest in me. The clothes hangers in Ryu Lisa’s hands. I wish they could all be clothes for Han Yeoreum.

My heart was pounding.

‘Right now, here, the way I can capture Ryu Lisa’s interest is…’

Surprisingly, the calculation came quickly. I immediately headed for the stairs.

[Eye wear & accessory] 2F

* * *

“…Hey.”

Ju Junseo followed Han Yeoreum up the stairs. Contrary to his expectation that she would naturally start looking around from the 1st floor, Han Yeoreum headed to the 2nd floor where accessories were gathered.

“Don’t mind what that person said earlier. Her skills are decent, but her personality is originally a bit of a mess. And you too… if you can’t choose something suitable, I’ll just pick for you. Something that matches my outfit. I’ve worn thousands of outfits, so why wouldn’t I be able to pick women’s clothes?”

Between the stairs were picture frames hung by the agency for advertising purposes.

From Eun Baekhap to Do Gyeoul. Han Yeoreum, who had been staring intently at the moments when they were selected as best dressers, finally turned her head to Ju Junseo.

“Have you chosen your outfit?”

“Well, roughly. A neat black suit. If you also go with a simple black dress—”

“Then can you match any accessory I choose?”

Perhaps because she was standing up there on the stairs.

Han Yeoreum’s voice seemed to echo through the showroom. Her words, delivered with precise pronunciation, were closer to a command than a suggestion.

“Yeah. I’ll match it for you.”

“Anything I choose?”

Ju Junseo nodded obediently. He had worn all kinds of outfits during his modeling work anyway. Han Yeoreum’s request wasn’t difficult at all.

‘I owe her something too.’

Han Yeoreum was the person who had gotten Ju Junseo to take acting lessons.

Han Yeoreum smiled, seemingly pleased with Ju Junseo’s answer.

“Do you have a preferred brand? Just tell me the brand and I’ll pick something that suits you.”

“I’ve already chosen my accessory.”

“…Without even looking?”

Han Yeoreum emphasized the word “accessory” and stared directly at Ju Junseo.

“Senior. Go back down to the 1st floor and get fitted for your suit first.”

“What?”

“Hurry!”

Then she ran up the remaining stairs without looking back. From a distance, Yeoreum’s voice could be heard asking a staff member.

“Where are the brooches?”

* * *

“25 minutes.”

Ryu Lisa hummed happily while checking the new outfits that had come in this week.

Usually, with this much experience accumulated, one would typically delegate trivial trips to the agency to assistants below. But Ryu Lisa never neglected making rounds at the agency.

‘Why would I entrust this fun thing to someone else! I have to do it myself.’

New clothes, accessories, dress shoes, bags! All of these things made Ryu Lisa’s heart race.

Imagining how the same clothes would create different images depending on who wore them was Ryu Lisa’s life.

Ryu Lisa thought of Ju Junseo, who had been fitting outfits and going up to the 2nd floor.

‘What exactly is she trying to bring that she even had him get fitted?’

A neat black suit. It was naturally a winning outfit for award ceremonies. Moreover, there was no way it wouldn’t suit Ju Junseo, who was a former model.

On the other hand, choosing Han Yeoreum’s outfit would be difficult right now.

“This shop doesn’t originally have dresses.”

When thinking of award ceremonies, the usual women’s attire that came to mind was dresses. To get such glamorous dresses, one would have to visit the brand shops in the back where dresses were specifically gathered.

Dress shops like Bridal White, or Layer House. However, this place was a shop mainly focused on casual wear.

“If you put casual wear next to a suit, it would look a bit off.”

No matter what she chose, getting 100 points would be difficult.

Nevertheless, Ryu Lisa was curious. About the rookie actress Han Yeoreum, who had been chosen by that money-nose Dokgo Gyeol and money-friend Jegal Rok.

“What will she bring?”

She hoped she wouldn’t just bring expensive luxury items with logos. Logo play was one of the things Ryu Lisa hated most.

“29 minutes.”

That’s when exactly 1 minute remained from the given time. The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs from the 2nd floor could be heard.

Ryu Lisa deliberately didn’t turn around. Somehow her stomach felt ticklish. She felt like a child just before discovering something interesting.

“Should I turn around now? Huh? Would that be okay?”

“Yes. You can turn around.”

Ryu Lisa put strength into her rising corners of her mouth and turned around. She couldn’t let Han Yeoreum misunderstand that she liked the items she chose just because she smiled.

“…This? This is what you brought?”

In front of such Ryu Lisa, there was something unbelievable.

“Yes. What I want to wear is an outfit using a brooch.”

An antique-designed brooch placed on a small palm.

“Something that goes well with the partner here.”

And next to it,

“…”

It was an expressionless Ju Junseo. With perfect attire. Truly the best accessory.

* * *

‘There are no dresses here.’

I had scanned from the moment I entered.

There weren’t even mini dress types. Naturally, there were no designs commonly called “award ceremony dresses” either.

I had only heard the name but this was my first time entering the interior, so I surveyed all the hanging clothes with my eyes before even greeting Ryu Lisa.

‘So what I need to do is.’

It wasn’t choosing an outfit to wear at the award ceremony.

It was making Ryu Lisa want to ‘bring’ a dress from somewhere else.

‘With just Ryu Lisa’s name, she can bring anything from any luxury brand.’

Something much more rare and beautiful than the designs hanging here.

‘I also happened to know about items that would soon become trendy.’

Even if I didn’t know the details of outfits, I was well-versed in accessories. Because the trend of everyone wearing brooches would soon emerge.

I placed the brooch onto Ryu Lisa’s hand. And here was one more thing I had prepared.

An accessory with impact incomparable to the brooch in size.

“Since you’ll be walking the Carpet with Senior Ju Junseo. I chose something with a formal feel.”

It was Ju Junseo with Tattoo Stickers densely applied all over the back of his hands.

Ju Junseo, wearing Black Glasses and fitted in a formal suit, had a neat appearance, but couldn’t hide the distinctive sharp edge that came from his features.

‘So I added details that matched the atmosphere Ju Junseo possessed.’

I had applied Lettering Tattoo Stickers to each knuckle on the back of his hands, and added a small tattoo just below his ear as well.

‘Both Dokgo Min and Dokgo Gyeol are like this. Geniuses gain inspiration from a single small detail.’

So Ryu Lisa would be the same type of person. I looked at the sparkling stat above Ryu Lisa’s head.

Her Artistry was higher than anyone I had met so far. Ryu Lisa looked at me, then looked at Ju Junseo, then looked at the brooch in her hand, repeating this cycle.

“….”

Then, as if seriously shocked, she opened her mouth and stood frozen like a still screen.
