Episode 54

“…Han Yeoreum? The Han Yeoreum from 〈Pacheci〉?”

“Yeah. And that brand is a vintage product, so I’m not thinking about advertising effects or anything like that. I just got what I wanted to dress her in, so put aside those kinds of proposals.”

When an unexpectedly rookie name came up, Gyeoul’s Manager frowned. She thought it would be someone on Eun Baekhap’s level, but it was someone from a much lower tier who couldn’t even be compared to Do Gyeoul.

Gyeoul, who had regained her composure, gently patted her manager’s shoulder. It meant to stop.

“I see. Yeoreum’s clothes… I liked them so much. You know how I feel, right? I’m envious of Team Leader Ryu’s eye for style.”

“…Well, I am pretty good at that.”

“Then I’ll try on the dress. Please give me the white one first.”

Gyeoul entered the fitting room still wearing her smile.

But this time it wasn’t a fake smile.

‘This is strange. It’s so interesting.’

Gyeoul even clenched her fists at the excitement rising from her chest.

No wonder she was drawn to her from the first time she saw her. The pleasure of her intuition being right surged up.

She wanted to have everything Han Yeoreum possessed, one by one. For the first time in Do Gyeoul’s life, where material desires had been faint, she truly wanted something.

“Actress, please don’t worry too much… Your current outfit is much better, more luxurious, and more expensive.”

The junior assistant who had been reading the mood whispered to Gyeoul while zipping up her dress.

Gyeoul smiled with her usual gentle face without any particular response.

Words from such people had no effect on her whatsoever.

Naturally below Do Gyeoul. Beings who shouldn’t dare to voice opinions. Things that lived parasitically off actors’ names and faces.

But Gyeoul skillfully managed her expression while looking at herself in the mirror. These kinds of emotions were things that shouldn’t be shown.

“I was being such a difficult customer earlier, wasn’t I? I’m really embarrassed right now…”

“No, not at all! Of course, when an actress tells us about an outfit she wants to select, we should prepare something similar. That’s our job.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

Do Gyeoul’s reputation, which had almost been twisted for a moment, returned to its place. Even to the junior assistant, Gyeoul continued to act as if nothing had happened.

She tried on the dress, selected it, checked the accessories and shoes, then left Ryu Lisa’s office.

“Manager.”

“Oh, Gyeoul. Are you very hurt? Next time I’ll get you a different stylist-“

“That black dress I saw in the office earlier. Get me the exact same one. Definitely before the L’Oreal Style Awards.”

Even without smiling, Do Gyeoul’s eyes sparkled brightly. They contained 100% pure joy.

“You know how bad it is when outfits overlap at award ceremonies, right? I can’t stand seeing articles linking your name with some kid who’s not on your level! Especially since you’re KNUA classmates or whatever, when that article came out last time, ugh. Really.”

“No. I’ll wear what I chose today to the awards ceremony. I want to wear it before then.”

Gyeoul picked up the scenario that was in the van.

“Where?”

“Just when taking photos to upload to SNS. The fans will like it too.”

“…Alright. I got it. I’ll try to get it.”

Gyeoul, who had been looking out the window, soon burst into laughter with a “puhaha.”

‘It’s a shame I can’t see Yeoreum’s reaction directly…’

What expression would she make? What tone of voice would she use? Then what character could Han Yeoreum melt that into? More and more curiosities kept arising.

Gyeoul felt herself being unusually excited.

And a few days later, a photo was uploaded to Gyeoul’s SNS.

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ This is insane, Young & Rich

-Your beauty is truly special, shining even from afar♥♥♥

-Queen of beauty 🙂 so lovely pic!

-Does the current state of the country make sense? How does it make sense that a law for one Do Gyeoul selfie per day hasn’t been made in this advanced country｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

With the photo upload after a long time, not only the public but even reporters excitedly spread the photo.

And that photo also flowed to Yeoreum, who had finished her fitting.

“…What is this.”

It was just one day before the L’Oreal Style Awards.

* * *

At this point, I admit it. Do Gyeoul was insanely diligent.

‘She copied the outfit in that short time?’

Not satisfied with just copying acting, now even outfits…

‘She does all sorts of things…’

I looked at Ryu Lisa, who was coldly stiff in front of me. It was different from the sparkling eyes I saw on the outfit fitting day.

“I can’t wear this as is, right?”

“…If you want articles linking you in the same clothes, you can wear it. The viral marketing will work properly. You know the ‘same clothes, different feeling’ series, right? That’s how it’ll go.”

Actually, that wasn’t such a bad choice either. I was a rookie after all. Having Do Gyeoul’s name attached next to mine even once would be beneficial.

‘…But strangely, I don’t want to do that right now.’

An unpleasant feeling of a different dimension from simply being mentioned together as college classmates rose up.

The anger of having my things stolen again made my stomach throb. I was gritting my teeth at the rising fury when…

“Do Gyeoul knows one thing but not two… right?”

An ominous voice came from beside me. Ryu Lisa’s eyes were gleaming brightly.

“When a genius like me sets her mind to it… the same clothes can look completely different.”

Saying that, Ryu Lisa quickly moved around her office.

She seemed to remember where every piece of clothing was in the space packed tightly with clothes. There was no hesitation felt from Ryu Lisa’s fingertips.

“We’re starting alterations now. Try it on again.”

Ryu Lisa brought a white shirt made of stiff fabric that went well with the existing outfit.

“I’ll make it so you’ll wonder if it was originally the same outfit.”

The artistry stat above Ryu Lisa’s head sparkled constantly. It was dazzling.

‘This might actually…’

I had an intuition that articles would pour out with ‘same clothes, different feeling’ as Ryu Lisa said. But if there was something different from my earlier expectation…

-Huh, the same clothes?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So fascinating, but you can definitely feel how important a stylist is… ㅠ Dogyeol is pretty too though

-Looking at just what Do Gyeoul wore, I think yeah it’s pretty, but when I see Do Gyeoul after Han Yeoreum, it’s a bit disappointing

︎˪22 This is it

︎˪For real for real I think the same way lol just like clothes being pretty vs. suiting you well are different feelings?

The public’s reaction was expected to go in a much more positive direction.

‘This might actually work out well…?’

Both reporters and countless viewers would think the outfit was better than ‘that Do Gyeoul’s.’

If that happens…

‘I can naturally take the best dresser image!’

Gyeoul. Thank you so much for following along with me…

I clapped quietly beside Ryu Lisa as she reformed the outfit. And a few hours later.

“…Try fitting it again.”

I couldn’t help but instantly understand why Ryu Lisa had become a star stylist.

A dress with a completely different design from what I had seen during the first fitting was completed. The fit, the texture, everything felt different.

As if agreeing with my intuition, the Status Window flickered busily.
