Customers who visit clothing stores are broadly divided into three types.

First, I found this on the internet because it was cheaper than a department store.

They charge these people about three times the price and then say they will buy it if you give them a discount of about 20,000 won.

Next, I researched reviews and price ranges.

For these people, you can give them a discount of about 30,000 won, which is roughly double the price.

And, a master who comes and goes from the shopping district as if he were eating rice.

For these people, selling it for even ten thousand won is a good deal.

finally…

A customer who came to the store without knowing anything…

We call them ‘fools’.

A golden goblin-like being who takes responsibility for the day’s sales just by meeting them.

I see that existence right before my eyes.

Dirty tracksuit and bare skin. (But the original is still good)

A card wallet with no sense of fashion whatsoever.

And her hair was tied to one side as if she was annoyed by her long hair.

He’s a perfect sucker.

I put down the kimchi stew I was eating and focused my gaze on her.

A girl who is about 160 cm tall rolls her eyes here and there and glances at the clothes.

It’s like looking at a small animal, cowering to avoid the staff trying to solicit customers.

The corners of my mouth go up automatically.

As a woman myself, I’ve seen countless friends like that.

A case where I couldn’t resist the nagging of my mom and friends who told me to dress up a bit at home.

Yes, today’s target is you.

I stretched my stiff legs and got up from the chair.

The signboard light of my store, ‘Daylight’, shines on me.

The girl wanders around pitifully, trying to avoid the solicitations.

You idiot, you can’t catch that golden goblin with such one-dimensional solicitation.

This is how it should be done.

The moment a girl passed by my store.

I fold my clothes, pretending not to care about her.

And with a soulless expression, he went into the warehouse and stored it there.

Now, if you come out to the store at just the right time…?

braided.

A wandering girl came into the empty store.

Yes, come into my arms quickly.

The point here is to never talk to the guests who come to visit.

I just watch from a distance like I’m looking at a small, cute wild animal.

The girl runs her fingers through the clothes here and there.

Then he suddenly stopped in front of a very, very ordinary and common white dress shirt.

Especially for kids who aren’t interested in fashion.

Choose a basic white, black, or gray dress shirt or cotton pants.

But… it’s a bit disappointing.

It looks cute.

This is a prize that would be popular even if you just decorated it a little.

Before I knew it, I was resting my chin on my hand.

I stared blankly at the girl and then closed my eyes tightly.

Ugh- what am I thinking?

He shook his head and secretly looked at the clothes the girl had chosen.

As expected, black pants and a white shirt.

It wasn’t even a funeral, but the girl was carrying it and quickly approaching the counter.

“I can’t see the price tag. How much is it?”

The girl mumbles in a somewhat neutral voice.

I couldn’t help but laugh at that sight.

“If you do them separately, each one costs 100,000 won.”

Her eyes widen at the unexpected price.

The tear duct on the left was squished as if it was upset.

“I see…”

The hand holding the hanger is shaking slightly.

Let’s get started now.

“If you buy 2 together, I will give you a special price of 180,000 won.”

But even with this suggestion, the girl still looks upset.

It doesn’t come off easily.

“I know, it’s a bit pricey. But it’s not easy to find fabric like this at this price.”

I gently grabbed the clothes she was holding and rubbed them.

“This is a product from the same factory as Ralph Lauren. You must have good taste to have found it right away.”

He smiled, winking one eye.

And he let the guests touch and rub the fabric themselves.

“Ra… What is Ralph Lauren? Is it a luxury brand?”

oh my god.

Did I hear that wrong?

The girl doesn’t know Ralph Lauren?

Have you ever seen such a fool among fools… You really eat all my bras.

“You know, the mark that asks you to ride a horse. It’s a polo.”

“Ah- Polo! I know. My little sister bought a lot of those too… They’re expensive.”

Her words make me tilt my head involuntarily.

Do sisters usually call each other “little sister”?

“I see. Then it must be expensive.”

Only then does the girl nod her head in agreement.

The tail of her hair dances wildly.

Okay, we’re almost there.

“Try it on once. It looks good and I think it will suit you well.”

“Is that so…?”

She took the clothes and walked timidly into the storage/changing room.

If you try it on, your heart will probably waver again.

“—.”

It takes quite some time.

Looking at my watch, it seemed like more than 10 minutes had passed since I came in.

I ended up trying to knock on the locker room door myself.

Because soon I heard the sound of shoes being put on.

“This… seems a bit small…”

The girl walked out slowly with a red face.

My eyes also sparkle at that sight.

The dress shirt that I thought would fit perfectly is smaller than I thought.

Compared to her relatively short stature, her breasts are large enough to stand out.

And the black underwear that is faintly reflective… Is this almost like cosplay?

And the thighs too…

It is relatively large compared to the small calves.

What on earth do you eat to have a body line like this?

The girl put her finger to her mouth, as if embarrassed by her prominent body.

That bashful look is so feminine, I’m jealous.

Were the tracksuits just a smokescreen…?

The rising jealousy soon turned me into a mischievous person.

It won’t work.

You eat everything I have, no matter what.

“So pretty-. Perfect for an interview!”

“Me… Really? Wouldn’t it be weird if I’m too clingy?”

“These days, this style that highlights the body line is popular-.”

“Still…”

Phew… I have many doubts.

As a 5th-year clothes seller, it’s time to use my ultimate skill.

“Okay, if you just put this belt on here, it’ll be perfect.”

I took out a long belt and tried it on around her waist.

Then suddenly his gaze turned to her pelvis and pubic bone.

Damn… the bottom is pretty good too…

I feel really bad for some reason, so I feel really hurt.

“Ah… I don’t think I can buy the belt.”

“Don’t worry. I’m just giving this to you.”

“Really?”

“I’m giving it to you because you’re like my little brother-.”

He smiled brightly and patted my shoulder.

So the girl’s big eyes sparkled as if she was touched by my kindness.

My conscience is pricked for no reason.

This belt costs less than ten thousand won…

“Okay, then should I pay with a card? Cash is cheaper.”

“Yes. I only have a card.”

The girl fumbles with her card wallet.

sorry.

But there’s nothing I can do.

Because you made me like this.

I nodded forcibly and took the card.

But the moment I was about to draw it on the force field…

I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a group of people milling about in the store’s hallway.

Tall enough to stick his head out over the booth.

And a dull black suit with a scar on his face.

Anyone can tell that he’s a member of an organized crime group.

Why is that?

They are coming into my store with a bang.

There are definitely no men’s clothes here.

My shoulders hunched as I held the customer’s card.

And soon I realize why they came to my store.

Because a small girl suddenly popped out between the legs of the two gang members.

A girl wearing a hat and glasses runs towards my guest.

And then he hugged me lightly as if he was happy.

“Siho Unnie-! I told you to go shopping together, why did you come alone?”

“Uh… I was looking around and it seemed okay so I decided to buy it.”

The girl points to the clothes she is wearing.

Then the bespectacled woman tilts her head at her outfit.

“Pretty-. But isn’t it too ordinary? They’re like dedicated employees like the oppas here.”

Did I hear wrong?

One mind?

The biggest and most vicious of the black organizations?

I swallowed hard and looked at the men.

“Is that so? But it’s a potion master interview, so wouldn’t it be better to have some class?”

“That’s right. It’s not the entertainment industry. So how much is it? You have to be careful in places like this because they often get scammed.”

“They both add up to 180,000 won.”

“What the-? 180,000 won?!”

The bespectacled woman shouts loudly.

Then, the men also seemed to react to the sound and approached the booth.

It’s done…

The bespectacled woman walks toward me with her eyebrows furrowed.

She put her hands on her waist and glared at me menacingly.

“Excuse me, sis.”

“ni… yes?”

“No matter how much my sister seems like a pushover, isn’t this too much?”

Siho’s expression becomes gloomy as if he was hurt by the word ‘fool’.

But I feel more fear than just hurt.

“Just looking at this, it looks like it’s half cotton and half poly, but how is it 18? I’d buy ten of them!”

It just so happened that this girl’s younger brother was a ‘master’.

I am helpless in front of her who even brings up fabric.

All the surrounding customers look at my booth at the sound of the glasses-wearing woman’s voice.

If this continues, word will spread that this is a trash store!

“What am I? These days, if you can’t get this price, you have nothing left!”

I keep my arms crossed and pretend not to know.

If I back down here, it would be like admitting to being a loser, so I’m in a dilemma.

“Aha- Is that so?”

The bespectacled woman takes off her glasses as if she is very angry.

And then he slowly approaches me and thrusts his face aggressively at me.

Oh, I’ve seen this face somewhere before…

“Sorry, I’ve been going to this store for 5 years. Should I call all the ladies and ask if this price is right?”

5 years?

Wait a minute… By the way, I heard there’s a celebrity who’s been coming and going here frequently for the past 5 years.

I heard that that person also travels with a bodyguard from the same group.

Could this person be…

“, singer… Mr. Jae?”

I raised my finger without realizing it.

Then Jaehee lightly squeezed my finger and slowly pulled it down.

“Thank you so much for understanding me.”

“I’m sorry… I didn’t even know you were Jaei’s sister…”

I bowed my head and apologized.

But the celebrity still had his arms crossed despite my apology.

“You should apologize to my sister, not me. And whether we know each other or not, you shouldn’t treat people like that.”

A kid a few years younger than me is trying to teach me step by step.

But I had no choice but to clench my teeth.

Because it’s Jae.

It would be a shame to mess with the hottest idol these days and her organization.

“I’m sorry, sir…”

I bow my head and apologize to the girl.

“No. Business owners also need to eat and live…”

Siho forgave me with a warm voice.

If you knew the cost, you wouldn’t be able to forgive me…

“My sister is too kind, it’s a problem. You shouldn’t forgive her so easily.”

Hey, you’re not trying to get revenge, are you?

Hey, you’re an idol…

“You have to pay the price so that this never happens again.”

The idol smiled sinisterly.

Her dark shadow gradually falls on me.

How did I get so lucky today…

“—.”

I went to a cafe in a shopping mall with Jaehee.

We sat across from each other at a round table and drank sweet frappes.

The two accompanying members also enjoyed Americano while carrying several shopping bags.

I looked at the shopping bags and asked Jaehee worriedly.

“I don’t know if it’s okay to buy it this cheap.”

“Ai-, it’s okay. It’s all cost price. And my sister didn’t have many clothes. If you’re going to hang out with your sister, you should buy at least this much.”

Jaehee smiled brightly as he drew the image of his imaginary enemy.

She asks me with a small smile.

“Since both Sister Jeoksa and Sister Anna are so pretty, Sister Jeoksa also has to dress up and compete.”

Jaehee took a fighting pose with both hands clasped together.

It’s as if he knows something about the relationship between the two of us…

I guess it’s because of the card she gave me to buy clothes.

Because of that, I remember what happened yesterday morning and my face turns red.

Jaehee asks while looking at that day.

“Please wear the clothes I chose for you. I’m sure you’ll like them.”

“That, that…?”

“Yes, of course.”

The little bartender snapped his index finger.

My legs were too exposed and it was uncomfortable…

“And I’ll only eat frappes until today!”

“Why… This is delicious.”

“Sister, you’ve gained weight since I first saw you. Strangely enough, your face is the same, but other parts…”

Jaehee looks my body up and down.

I twisted my body involuntarily at that gaze.

“Ah, I see… Just take care of it.”

Have you gained that much weight lately?

Come to think of it, I think I’ve been drinking more frappes than coffee lately…

I rubbed my arms as goosebumps ran down my body.

I guess I’ll have to walk to the interview later.
