Chapter 5 – What Are You Doing? I Have to Take It Off ③
^-^
Entering Louis Baeton, I was at a loss as to whether it was really right to buy clothes here, looking at the luxurious clothes around me.
Seol-ah told me to wait here for a while as I looked around at the clothes around me, and then started walking somewhere.
“Yea, I got it.”
As I calmly waited for Seol-ah’s words, I looked at the clothes around me again and was amazed at the high prices.
When I looked at the prices of the clothes on display, all of them were worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
[ KRW 3,350,000 ]
No, what… Is it true that one piece of clothing is so expensive…
At that level, it seemed that there would be money left even if I could fit a computer with the desired specifications.
How many minutes had passed since entering the store?
“Sir?”
I heard someone calling me.
“…?”
I turned my head to check who it was, and the person who spoke to me was none other than an employee at the Louis Baeton store right here.
“Me?”
I raised my finger and pointed at me to confirm that I had been called, and the clerk responded with a sales smile at me.
“Yes. What are you looking for?”
I wondered why this clerk standing in front of me suddenly talked to me, but he seemed to be looking for something because he suddenly entered the store and was looking around.
“I’m not looking for anything…”
I said it’s okay, go, but as if I didn’t understand, the employee looked me up and down and said with a smile.
“What you see now is a bit pricey.”
“…?”
He was smiling, but there was a different kind of smile than before.
I wondered why I was talking about the price range all of a sudden, but I didn’t think much of it and tried to just move on.
“Would you like to try another product?”
I heard the sarcastic remarks of the staff.
I’m saying it around, but to translate it literally, ‘You look like you don’t have any money.’ It was this.
In fact, I vaguely noticed it when I looked up and down.
Looking at my clothes, you must have thought that there would be no products I would buy here.
It seemed that he was an employee who discriminated against people only by seeing clothes that sometimes caught fire on the Internet.
‘My clothes are a bit flimsy…’
In fact, the clothes I’m wearing right now don’t think about fashion, they’re just clothes that cover my body.
Even the clothes I’m wearing right now are big enough to be called overfit because I’m smaller than when I was a man.
However, there was a problem with the attitude of the staff now.
Because I was ignoring the customers who came into the store just by looking at their clothes.
Just because he is an employee of a luxury store, it was not okay to judge a customer who entered the store only by the way he dressed.
Just because you are an employee of a luxury store doesn’t mean you become a luxury item.
Not feeling the value of the conversation, I looked at the employee with contempt and opened my mouth.
“It’s okay, let’s go.”
It was clear that talking further would only hurt each other.
However.
As if the employee had no intention of ending it like this, he spat out words that should never be said to a customer entering the store.
No, I was trying to spit it out.
“If you don’t have anything to buy, just go to another store…”
“Stop.”
Unless someone interrupted the employee in the middle.
The employee who was beating me suddenly frowned and turned his head to find someone who stopped him.
“···Omg!”
The face of the employee who found that someone was gradually stained with astonishment.
“That, so this is…”
The employee, who was trying to make an excuse, was speechless because of the man named Bocchan who walked towards me afterwards.
The man named Bocchan, who stood right in front of me before I knew it, was taller than the average male and was neatly dressed in a suit that fit his height.
That kind of person suddenly bowed his head to me and handed me an apology.
“I’m sorry. It’s my negligence. I’ll fire that employee right away.”
It was tough, but I didn’t get cursed at, and I didn’t even come to such a serious situation, so I was fired right away.
It seemed that this young master was a higher-ranking person than that employee.
“Ah, yes… Well, it’s fine.”
Having received a sudden apology, I tried to end the situation by saying that it was okay because I had eyes to see around me.
However.
“Come on, Seohyun-ah, is this… Huh?”
Seol-ah, who left me here earlier and suddenly went somewhere, showed up again.
Seeing this situation as if something had happened unconditionally, Seol-ah ran towards me.
“What’s the matter?”
“Huh? Ah, what’s going on with that…”
Just as I was about to explain to Seol-ah the full story of what just happened.
“Seolah?”
I pretended to know if the man who bowed his head and apologized in front of me earlier knew Seol-ah.
Suddenly, a stranger called her name, so Seol-ah looked in the direction from which the voice was heard.
“Uh…, Hyunseung oppa?”
Seol-ah, as if she knew the man, called his name.
* * *
We had a lot of eyes gathering around us, so we entered a nearby cafe.
That’s how we ordered each other’s drinks and had time to get to know each other about us who Seol-ah didn’t know yet.
Seol-ah introduced the person sitting across from her first.
“That person over there is Hyunseung Lee, an older brother I know. He is also the person who will be the owner of this department store.”
“Uh…, Huh?”
I thought I heard it wrong.
Because the job of the person opposite was quite glamorous.
Who would be the owner of such a large department store?
Seol-ah looked at me in a daze and added a further explanation.
“So to put it simply… I’m the son of the department store owner here.”
Aha.
That’s right, the department store owner’s son…?
No, he said he was an older brother…?
How on earth can an older brother you know become the owner of a department store?
I couldn’t help but be amazed at Seol-Ah’s great network, but Lee Hyun-seung, who was sitting across from me, opened his mouth as he looked at me.
“Ahaha, this is embarrassing. It’s nothing to be proud of, but…”
Then, Seol-ah looked at Lee Hyun-seung with a contemptuous expression on her face.
“Ugh. Why are you doing something you didn’t do? Do you wrinkle in front of a woman?”
However, it was Lee Hyeon-seung with a calm expression that showed no change in expression despite Seol-ah’s tone.
‘After all, in order to become a department store owner, you have to be able to act like that…!’
Seeing Lee Hyun-seung like that, I admired him, saying that he was a person who would become the owner of a department store.
Then, Seol-ah introduced me to Lee Hyeon-seung.
“This is Lee Seohyun, as you can see, she’s really cute.”
“Ahaha, nice to meet you…”
After my embarrassing introduction, we finished our drinks and went out.
So we parted ways at that Zara and tried to go our separate ways.
Lee Hyun-seung spoke to me as if it was regrettable that he tried to leave us as it was.
“That…, Over there, Mr. Seohyun.”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyeon-seung paused for a moment before opening his mouth with a determined expression as if he had been thinking a lot.
“That…, If you don’t mind, can I show you around this department store?”
“Uh… The department store…?”
I couldn’t readily accept…
* * *
Currently, I was walking around the department store, guided by Seol-ah.
Of course, behind him was a man named Lee Hyeon-seung following him around.
“I really can’t stop that brother’s stubbornness.”
“It looked like that…”
Just before, when I asked Seol-ah for help with a silent glance.
Seol-ah stood in my way and said to Lee Hyun-seung that she was dating me today and politely refused.
Even so, he insisted on following him by his side, and he had no choice but to become the current situation.
Then, out of nowhere, another member of the party was added, and we arrived at ‘that’ changing room once again to put on the clothes I had put off to wear after finishing my drinks earlier.
“I’ll keep an eye on that oppa, so quickly get dressed and come out.”
“Yea, I got it.”
I told Seol-ah to wear it and come out quickly, and I replied that I knew.
“Oh right.”
“Huh?”
Seol-ah looked back at me and added a word.
“Don’t fall like before!”
“······Don’t fall!!”
In an instant, the memory of falling while trying to put on a pair of panties in the locker room came back and made her face red.
I shouted at Seol-ah in that state, then entered the dressing room and quickly changed into the clothes Seol-ah handed over to her.
This outfit was the one I brought back when Seol-ah disappeared from the store where I was being beaten by an employee earlier and she reappeared.
“Wow, but what color are the clothes…”
I don’t know what kind of clothes it was, but it looked luxurious at first glance.
The style of clothing is exactly what I like, so I was happy that Seol-ah brought this outfit for me.
Just like that, she was about to change all her clothes and go outside.
“I’m busy. Can I follow you like this?”
“Hmm, it’s not okay… But what happened to it?”
“Huh? What?”
“That outfit, it was the one you wanted to wear from the other day.”
“Ah. If that’s the case, it’s okay, because I think Seohyun would suit him better than me.”
“…Yes, if you are, then it must be so.”
While listening closely to the sound of conversation outside, I suddenly realized that the clothes I was wearing right now were the ones Seol-ah had wanted to wear for a long time.
