Chapter 92 – MODL-310 (1) [Aran Choi]
Time passed quickly again, and it was the weekend.
Today is the day I have a date with Choi Aran for the first time in a while.
I was given a golden opportunity to see her runway.
I wore her favorite black suit and headed to the convention hall where her showcase was being held.
When I parked and tried to enter, the area near the entrance was noisy.
─Everyone, please keep order!
─Please move outside the Line of Control!
─Over there! Don’t fall!
Security guards are sweating from going back and forth to control things.
It was inevitable that this event was not just a local fashion show.
Regular showcase hosted by Cleo & Tiffany headquarters.
Of course, the invited guests were all celebrities.
As some time passed, luxury foreign cars began to stop at the entrance of the building one after another.
And familiar faces getting out of the car.
From famous actors who are currently attracting attention through Nflix dramas.
Several models who are active as influencers in the same fashion industry.
And many celebrities attended to brighten the occasion.
As a result, a significant number of people gathered out of simple curiosity or fan spirit.
In a way, I could also be said to fall into that category.
‘Hey. Thanks to Aran, I can see all the celebrities too.’
However, there was no particularly attractive or attractive person.
Is it because the image of beauty these days has changed so much?
Rather, the prevailing thought was that Choi A-ran was much better.
‘Hmmmm. Even if you look at it objectively, Aran is better. Not to mention the body.’
I was reminded again and again of the importance of Choi A-ran.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang, and she received a call.
─Oppa. Have you arrived?
─Aran. Just arrived. But why are there so many celebrities here? It’s raining endlessly?
─It is a global event, so of course there are many. And most of them come because of spawning. There are many places that our company sponsors.
─Wow. Still, I didn’t know you would become an actor. An actress who appeared on Nflix earlier also came.
─Ah. Seol A-yoon? That person was originally our model too. It’s a case where I happened to change, and it turned out well.
─That’s awesome.
─Written. Do you get scolded if you look away? Today I am the main character.
─Haha. Of course. I felt it just now, but no one is as good as Aran. It’s pretty, but it’s not ugly.
─Hehe. Really? Please watch me do the runway today. Because my brother will walk while thinking.
─Yes. I’ll be looking forward to it too. I brought a packed lunch, so let’s have lunch together at the riverside after finishing.
─Humph. Then, I’ll go get ready first. See you later.
─Fighting, our honey.
She smiled at my charming encouragement and ended her call.
Her face was strangely flushed, and it seemed like she was looking forward to today’s walk.
So I grabbed my VIP ticket and headed to the audience.
I never thought I would live to watch a lingerie show from these luxurious seats.
After all, a man should meet a woman well.
‘… Let’s see. Seat G11 is close to here.’
Perhaps because she paid a lot of attention, the front row had the best view of the stage.
I sat down in a soft seat, had a welcome drink, and found out about the concept of today’s stage.
On the outside of the pamphlet handed out at the entrance, the theme ‘Primal’, meaning primitive, was written.
‘Farsighted? Is primitive a concept that emphasizes wildness?’
As expected, all kinds of sensational and unconventional lingerie were introduced on the back.
Leather and snake patterns were standard, and there were even artistic underwear made of flowers and leaves.
‘I thought it would be so complicated because it was a fashion show. It’s worse than you think, isn’t it?’
Among them, there were some products designed by Aran Choi herself.
The products she is wearing today were also part of a lineup that she made herself.
I was reading the pamphlet for a while.
Suddenly, someone came nearby.
When I glanced up at the sight of her, a familiar face greeted me warmly.
“Oh my! Minhyuk? What’s going on? How can I meet you here?”
She was none other than Teacher Eun.
Aran Choi’s coworker and close partner.
She seemed to be showing off her product today, so she looked dressed up differently than usual.
I did my best to hide my embarrassment at her appearance.
I expected this situation from the moment I was invited here anyway.
“Ah, Teacher Eun. It’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Of course! Minhyuk, what have you been doing? You didn’t come to work. Did you quit your job?”
“Haha. Well, that’s how it happened. I started a job, and it worked out well.”
“Oh, that’s great. Well, Minhyuk speaks well and is witty. I thought I’d find a better job soon.”
“Nothing much to say. By the way, I guess Teacher Eun is participating today too?”
“Yes, yes. It’s not the main work, just a few works. What’s more surprising is Minhyuk. I thought he wasn’t particularly interested in fashion.”
Well, strictly speaking, I was still not interested in fashion.
I just dress up because Choi A-ran tells me to.
Moreover, there was no need to mention a fashion show like this.
This showcase was the first fashion show in my life.
But it wouldn’t be rude to say something like that in front of a designer.
I calmly used my head and gave a plausible answer.
“Aren’t I part of the fashion industry in some way? As I looked over my shoulder at various things, I became interested.”
Teacher Eun smiled happily and nodded at those words.
“I thought well. It will be fun to see all the pretty models. By the way, Teacher Jeong and Teacher Yeon also talked a lot about Minhyuk. If you have time later, please at least say hello.”
“Of course. Aren’t we in a relationship where we have looked after each other in our own way?”
“Hoho. Right. Anyway, it’s great to see you again. I have to go now, so enjoy the performance.”
“Yes, yes. Teacher Eun, you’re fighting too. I’ll be cheering you on.”
“Thank you.”
She disappeared behind the scenes in an instant, probably because she had a lot of work to do.
After waiting for a long time, the surrounding lights finally turned off and the real showcase began.
A host comes up and gives her greetings in English and Korean.
Since it was a company, there were many foreigners sitting in the seats.
The host skillfully took his turn and then introduced the lineup of designers participating today.
Of course, my only interest was Choi Ah-ran.
I saw familiar faces such as Teacher Eun and Teacher Jeong, but I only waited for Choi A-ran to appear.
She showed her face towards the end, as expected of a senior designer.
As she greeted her proudly, cheers poured out around her.
Aside from her skills, her popularity was truly overwhelming.
I also gave her my enthusiastic applause and cheers.
In the meantime, she seemed to have seen me as well and suddenly gave me a kiss on the palm of my hand.
The appearance of squinting one eye and winking cutely.
‘… Oh, wow. Our Aran is bold.’
Her unusual fan service instantly caused an uproar around her.
People turn their heads like meerkats to find out who shot them.
A few looks were thrown at me, but most of them just smiled and shook their heads.
Unfortunately, no one seemed to think that I was her mate.
‘… Uhm. I’m a little upset.’
Meanwhile, Choi A-ran disappeared backstage again and the real showcase began with the host’s comments.
The lights become dimmer once and soft taillights twinkle along the stage runway.
And the wild music begins with the sound of drums.
The stage background display showed the scenery of a vast savannah.
It also shed light on the ecology of various animals to see if there was some kind of storytelling.
As the magnificent music gradually becomes more heightened.
Finally, the panel opened, and slender models began to walk out.
All the lingerie had passionate and explicit designs, perhaps to express the wild nature of humans.
I was captivated by the walking model I was seeing for the first time in my life.
The confident yet somewhat seductive gait had a magical power that was overwhelming just by looking at it.
‘… Wow. I don’t get paid for nothing.’
To put it bluntly, I wondered how difficult it was to just walk.
Looking at it this way, there is a reason why I practice and refine so much.
They walked on stage without hesitation, as if they were truly beasts of the savannah.
─Click, click!
Shutters are pouring in from all directions.
Although they were photographed in their underwear, there was no shame on their faces.
Rather, there were models who showed signature poses toward the camera as if to appeal their presence.
Every time that happened, there was applause and the shutter sound sounded even more intense.
I was also influenced by the atmosphere and was clapping hard before I knew it.
‘… It’s not as boring as I thought. No. It’s rather fun.’
It was more than just eye candy, it also sparked various inspirations.
In the end, lingerie is underwear meant to appeal sexual appeal.
As I was watching the stage where the sex appeal was at its peak, my heart was beating fast and my desire to create seemed to be burning.
When you are so immersed and looking at primitive women.
I started to feel a special aura at the end of that stage.
The so-called presence itself was different.
Although walking was not very different or special.
Should we say that it is the magical power that humans themselves give off?
That gorgeous brilliance was coming towards me across the stage.
Dark blue hair and colorful accessories.
A tall figure with clear skin like white jade.
The leopard print, reminiscent of a leopard, seems to express her rough aura.
Finally, my girl has appeared.
