Chapter 50

Yoomin headed to the department store near the hotel with Secretary Kwon.

Secretary Kwon immediately took Yoomin to the floor with women’s clothing.

“Miss Yoomin. You’ll need clothes to wear for a while, so let’s pick out a few outfits.”

Yoomin fidgeted with the fabric around her stomach area.

“You already bought me… clothes, didn’t you?”

Secretary Kwon let out a short laugh as if it was absurd.

“That’s just one outfit. You need at least seven. You have to wear one outfit per day.”

As if Yoomin might refuse again, Secretary Kwon pointed to a random store and took the first step.

Yoomin fidgeted in place, then shouted “Oh, whatever!” and chased after Secretary Kwon.

Since it was probably Jaejun who told him to buy clothes anyway, there would be no point in refusing Secretary Kwon.

And she only had the one outfit she was currently wearing, so she needed more clothes too.

She decided to pick clothes that suited her taste and properly express her gratitude to Jaejun, walking faster.

As soon as Yoomin entered a store following Secretary Kwon, a staff member immediately approached her.

“Are you looking for any particular style?”

“Uh. Do you have any short tops? Something that comes above the belly button? I’d like to try that with high-waisted pants too.”

The staff member said with a smile.

“Of course we do. We actually have some new summer arrivals. They’re incredibly popular.”

Yoomin took the clothes the staff member brought and went into the fitting room.

While changing clothes, she suddenly wondered if it was okay to choose so freely according to her taste.

In novels and dramas, there are many protagonists who act timid because they feel sorry even for having things bought for them.

But would Jaejun want that?

Yoomin immediately answered no and came out after changing clothes.

“Oh my!”

The staff member covered her mouth and let out a genuine laugh.

“Miss, you look like a college student. It suits you so well?”

“That’s right. Very fresh and lively.”

Fresh and lively?

Secretary Kwon’s word choice was quite amusing, but since it was a compliment, Yoomin thanked him and reached for the fitting room door again.

“I brought similar styles and some of the best-selling clothes this season. If these look good, please try them on too.”

The staff member handed over several outfits she had set aside.

Yoomin tried on the clothes sincerely without showing any signs of annoyance.

“I’m not trying to sell clothes. You definitely have a good figure for clothes, Miss.”

And without giving her a chance to respond, Secretary Kwon paid for all the clothes she had tried on.

Secretary Kwon’s hands were full of shopping bags.

Even though it’s a gift from Jaejun to me, I’m worried I accepted it too carelessly.

“Excuse me for a moment?”

Secretary Kwon stopped for a moment.

He put down the shopping bags he was holding and answered the phone.

“Yes. Vice President. Yes? Ah. No, but… She liked everything. No, you’d know if you saw for yourself. Yes, I understand for now.”

Secretary Kwon hung up with a troubled expression.

When Yoomin looked at him with a puzzled face, Secretary Kwon looked up and smiled awkwardly.

“Ah. Well…”

“What’s wrong. Did Senior scold you for buying too much? Ah. Should we go return them?”

Yoomin worried and stamped her feet.

She had seen a few price tags when changing clothes earlier, and the prices were quite expensive.

While not luxury brands, pants cost 590,000 won each and cardigans cost 850,000 won each – quite premium brand clothes that would total well over 5 million won.

For twenty-five-year-old Yoomin who lived at her paternal grandparents’ house, spending that much money on clothes was unimaginable.

“No. That’s not it, Miss Yoomin.”

“Ah. He didn’t scold you for it being expensive? Then…”

“He asked how I could buy just one outfit…”

“What?”

Yoomin’s mouth fell open.

“He… He probably thought I just went to the luxury section and bought one dress. My girlfriend likes this brand but says it’s too expensive to buy… you know. So I thought Miss Yoomin would like it too and brought you here. Hmm.”

Secretary Kwon looked at his wristwatch and continued.

“Should we go around the entire luxury section again? If we go like this, the Vice President will-“

Yoomin waved her hands.

“No! No, Secretary Kwon! I’m fine! What we bought is already too much. Please tell him I like this brand. Okay?”

Secretary Kwon looked back and forth between Yoomin and his phone, then nodded.

“Yes, I understand. Then I’ll tell him that. Let’s go now. To see the house.”

Yoomin nodded and took a step forward.

On the escalator going down to the 1st floor, Yoomin looked at the mirror on the side and was startled by her own face.

Even with an expressionless face, her expression looked bright.

When she lived at her paternal grandparents’ house, how often had the Principal said that even when she smiled, there seemed to be a strange shadow.

Buying expensive clothes just for herself and walking around the department store on a weekday afternoon made her feel like a princess.

Although Suji did this as regularly as eating meals, she was only now experiencing it for the first time, but that alone made her heart feel full.

To not forget that feeling, Yoomin took out her phone and wrote another text to Jaejun.

Thanks to you, oppa, I feel like I became a princess. This is the first time I’ve tried on so many clothes. Thank you^^

“Ah, excuse me…”

Before sending the text, Secretary Kwon, who was right behind her, tapped Yoomin’s shoulder.

Yoomin turned her head back and responded.

“Yes?”

“I wasn’t trying to peek. Your phone screen was visible in my line of sight.”

“Yes? Ah. Yes.”

“Those smile emoticons at the end… people don’t really use them much anymore, do they?”

“Really?”

“Well… young people don’t use them much, so how about sending a cute emoticon instead.”

Flustered, Yoomin nodded and looked for emoticons.

Secretary Kwon, who was watching even that, let out a deep sigh from behind.

Then he told her to wait a moment, took out his own phone, and started tapping something.

Soon a gift message arrived for her.

It was a cute cat emoticon.

“This should be useful. If you send the kitty holding a ‘thank you’ sign, I think the Vice President would like it.”

Yoomin looked at Secretary Kwon with a moved expression.

It felt exactly like Cupid had descended before her.

“Oh my, it looks like stars are about to come out of your eyes. Stop being so grateful. Haha.”

Secretary Kwon seemed burdened by Yoomin’s gaze and hurriedly walked past Yoomin.

Yoomin quickly sent the emoticon to Jaejun and then chased after Secretary Kwon.

The place they arrived at was inside a residential neighborhood alley.

Getting out of the car, Yoomin’s eyes fell on a two-story house built with dark brown bricks that looked old and faded but felt solid.

There was a sturdy-looking gray iron gate with a white fence beside it, covered with ivy.

It was a place she’d never seen before, but somehow it felt familiar.

Secretary Kwon went to the gate first and pressed the doorbell.

A voice similar to Secretary Kwon’s but lower and thicker came through.

-Who is it.

“It’s me.”

Beep-.

The door opened.

“Oh, there must be a younger brother at home. Usually no one’s here at this time. Ah. Since he’s a former national taekwondo athlete, it’s like having a reliable security guard at home. There was exactly one time when a thief broke in, and he caught that thief with his bare hands too.”

“Wow, really?”

“Yes. It means you don’t need to worry even if Yoomin’s family… or any strange people come chasing after you.”

Yoomin smiled gently to show her approval.

At that moment, the gate opened and someone appeared.

It was a man about 190cm tall with dark skin, short sporty hair, and a muscular build that was visible even through his clothes.

It seemed to be Kwon Secretary’s younger brother, whom they had only heard through his voice moments ago.

She was just thinking that his face was quite boyish compared to his body.

“What are you doing not coming in?”

Kwon Secretary’s younger brother, who had bluntly asked the question with indifference, saw Yoomin behind Kwon Secretary and his mouth fell open.

His reaction was so transparent that Yoomin felt embarrassed and let out an awkward laugh.

Kwon Secretary shook his head and gestured to Yoomin.

“Geez. I guess he knows that Yoomin is a beauty. Let’s go inside for now.”
