“This is way too revealing!”

That was Sua’s first impression upon seeing the products.

No revealing stuff! Sua is sacred! Saint Sua!

But rebuttals immediately poured in. None other than from Sua’s closest confidantes, the inner Sua Association.

─Aren’t swimsuits usually like this? ─Looks perfectly normal to me.

Ehhh, Sua was appalled.

‘Normal? This?’

Sua was currently holding a black bikini set and a white one.

The product itself was familiar, but the designs were anything but ordinary. As if they thought the existing bikinis were boring, there were tons of straps everywhere. Probably for decoration.

Inner Kim Yu-han shook his head.

─What, did you expect something super conservative?

‘I don’t know, isn’t there too little coverage…?’

─More coverage wouldn’t make a difference.

Wi Ji-hye said firmly.

─Either way, regardless of the coverage, they’ll just cling to your body. No matter what you do, your figure will be emphasized. You’re so immature. Just enjoy what you were born with.

─Grandma, you don’t have any experience either, do you?

─I’m proficient in everything, I just chose not to do it!

The inner voices quickly became noisy, and Sua fell into thought.

‘Ah, um, is that so?’

Was she just not mentally prepared?

But that was only natural.

The beauties wearing swimsuits and flaunting their bodies felt like beings from another world. Especially to Sua, who’d spent her days doing part-time jobs and playing games in her room.

But now that she was the one who had to wear them, she was trembling with nervousness. She felt embarrassed, and anxious about whether people would like them, and whether they were too revealing…. She just lacked experience in this area.

‘I need to actively use my fox-like charm during the actual shoot.’

Sua repeated that to herself over and over.

Yeah, it’s absolutely impossible to do it sober.

Meanwhile, CEO Kim Iseo led Sua to the changing area. Only after arriving in the spacious space with a comforting scent could Sua breathe again.

Kim Iseo said.

“I know Sua has a good eye, but there’s a limit to picking things out just by looking at them. How about trying them on and deciding? I’ll lend you my eye too.”

“Okay.”

Sua readily nodded.

Maybe it’s because Mystic now felt like family, but it felt okay to show Kim Iseo.

A little later, when Sua came out wearing a bikini.

“Um….”

Sua muttered without realizing it.

─What? This definitely wasn’t supposed to be this tight, was it? ─Um…. I need to ask them to exchange it….

The top was okay, but the bottom was the problem.

It didn’t smoothly cover the area below, but rather seemed to be trapped on Sua’s butt? Even Sua, with no experience, knew instinctively. This is a bit much.

“….”

Kim Iseo also coughed awkwardly with a flushed face.

“Let’s ask them to exchange this one. Yeah….”

◈◈◈◈◈

Back in the meeting room.

With Kim Iseo present, the adjustments were made quickly.

“I tried them all on, and these are definitely not going to work.”

The ‘ZOG Korea’ employees listened carefully to Mystic’s opinions, and thanks to that, progress was made even with Sua just standing there.

A ZOG Korea representative nodded.

“Hmm, these were too much after all. Actually, we predicted that they wouldn’t work.”

“The rest of the outfits were fine.”

“That’s good news. I feel like my head is about to explode. It’s so hard to come up with scene ideas.”

The representatives sighed deeply.

“Sua-ssi has her own unique aura and charm. Plus, she swept through Korea and quickly rose as a nominee for the Best New Artist award, right? Being able to use her as a photo shoot model is more than we could ask for. However….”

“However?”

“It’s a matter of nuance. Mystic’s attitude is endlessly generous, but Sua-ssi’s body is tricky.”

Kim Iseo nodded as if she understood.

“It’s hard to balance the product and the model, right?”

“Exactly. The best move is to have the swimwear and Sua-ssi in perfect harmony. That way, we can boost both Sua-ssi’s image and sales. But.”

The ZOG Korea representative paused.

“The moment that balance is broken, it’s a disaster. If Sua-ssi’s body is emphasized even a little, it could look like an adult photoshoot…. It’s giving me a headache.”

Immediately after, he apologized.

“Um, I’m sorry. It’s our problem to solve, but I’m just listing it out like it’s something to brag about. You don’t have to worry about it. We’ll do our best to come up with ideas.”

“No, Sua’s image and product sales. Getting both is important to us at Mystic too.”

But.

“Hmm….” “Um….”

The sounds of clearing throats gradually filled the meeting room, and the discussion made no progress. Because neither side could come up with a plausible idea.

Kim Iseo asked.

“If you can’t find the best move, what is the second-best move that ZOG Korea has considered?”

“I don’t think there is a second-best option. I guess….”

The team leader opened his mouth with difficulty.

“We may have to exclude Sua-ssi from the swimsuit special. Because if Sua-ssi’s image becomes cheap and the products don’t sell, it’s the worst possible outcome for both of us.”

“Hmm….”

Kim Iseo’s expression naturally darkened.

The ZOG Korea photoshoot contract was a huge deal. If they missed it, they’d be tossing and turning all night with a broken heart.

They needed a brilliant idea.

At this point, Sua looked for Yu-han Sua.

Why else? Because I don’t understand what they’re saying! Sua doesn’t know!

‘What are they talking about now?’

─I thought it would be great to bring Sua sunbae, but now that we have her, it’s hard to avoid being vulgar because her body is so big. It’s giving us a headache.

‘Aha?’

─We were trying to take care of Sua sunbae’s image and sell swimsuits, but it looks like it’s going to turn into an adult magazine. They’re saying?

‘….’

Sua scratched her head.

She somehow felt sorry. What wrong did the swimsuits and they do? It’s just that Sua is chubby….

But what she had to do became clear.

‘I have to save this opportunity no matter what. It’s good for me too.’

In the worst case, the contract itself would fall apart, which would not be good. The best thing to do is to think of a way to catch both birds with one stone and continue the contract steadily.

Sua immediately opened her mouth.

“Excuse me, could I offer some ideas myself?”

“Yes? Of course! You’re the model, Sua-ssi.”

There was a good reason why she mustered up the courage. Sua had a secret weapon: her fox-like charm activation!

Sssshhh─!

Immediately after, everything surrounding Sua felt different.

‘But it’s unstable.’

Perhaps because Sua had no experience with men, she had a sense that it wouldn’t last long. She needed to deal with it quickly.

Sua gathered the products and headed to the full-length mirror.

Sua held the products hanging on the hanger to her body one by one. She wasn’t actually trying them on, just estimating with her eyes, but Sua could see everything clearly now.

“….”

Meanwhile, the onlookers swallowed nervously.

‘She’s completely changed. It’s like the shoot has already started.’

That was the ZOG Korea team leader’s thought.

She was completely different from Sua who had been silent until just now. Just by striking poses in front of the full-length mirror, the feeling was amazing.

To the point where they wanted to grab a camera and start clicking the shutter right away.

‘We could make a photoshoot with just this?’ ‘That indifferent look in the mirror…. Amazing….’ ‘Wow, this is crazy.’

Meanwhile, Sua made a decision.

“Let’s go with using only these.”

Sua conveyed her conclusions to the representatives, and soon their eyes widened.

“Ah, to combine these like this?” “We were only thinking about individual pieces.” “That’s not bad. It’s okay.”

Everyone was satisfied, and only Sua, who had belatedly escaped from her ‘fox-like charm’, blushed slightly. Standing in front of the mirror in front of everyone was embarrassing.

─The fox-like charm performance is good, isn’t it? ─Of course, it should be good. Didn’t you die over ten thousand times as a fox? I still remember what the store owner said when he beat me to death. How can a fox have such low intelligence….

At that time, the team leader opened his mouth.

“First of all, Sua-ssi’s idea is very good, and thanks to it, I also came up with a few brilliant ideas. Thank you.”

“What do you mean by brilliant ideas?”

When Sua asked briefly, the team leader smiled.

“It would be enough to actually wear and shoot the ones that Sua-ssi mentioned, and to just have Sua-ssi hold the rejected ones.”

“That’s right! We were stuck on the idea that we had to wear them, but after seeing you hold them up in front of the mirror just now, it’s enough. It actually stimulates the imagination and gives a better feeling?”

After that, everyone seemed to be bursting with ideas and talking a lot, and Sua just nodded casually. It’s been resolved well.

After that, everything went smoothly. Kim Iseo’s eyes sparkled.

“Then there will be no excluded products, and Sua will be able to receive more advertising fees.”

“Of course. We have to take care of you, naturally.”

You can tell from Kim Iseo’s smile. It seems that she has definitely obtained the desired results from this contract.

After that, Japanese began to be mixed into the meeting room.

‘I heard that most of the products are Japanese?’

It seems that the successful conclusion is now being conveyed to the Japanese side. Of course, Sua was used to hearing it.

“うまく解決されたんですか?” (Was it resolved well?)

“それ以上です. 絶対成功を壮語します.” (It’s more than that. I guarantee absolute success.)

Sua was starting to get sleepy, thinking that she had overcome the crisis. She barely suppressed a yawn and lowered her gaze.

At that time.

Someone said.

“Come to think of it, Sua-ssi is quite good at Japanese, right?”

“Not just quite good. I’m confident.”

Sua answered easily while looking at her thigh. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Because she was good at Japanese.

However.

“It seems that Sua-ssi has put in a lot of effort.”

“…?”

Sua looked up at the unexpected comment. What’s with that attitude of talking to me like they know everything about me?

“….”

And she was shocked. She was originally going to ask who they were, but there was no need. She did know them.

“Sua-ssi, how have you been?”

It wasn’t a mistake. It was definitely that person.

“….”

The other person was Sua’s Japanese tutor.
