Chapter 117: Summer Vacation, Part 3

Hayoon rarely visited offline stores to buy clothes.

She had gone to lingerie stores with Yoon Suhee a few times to get fitted for bras, but after that, she just bought comfortable bras that fit her size.

Since her size changed rapidly, she simply replaced her bras as needed, so finding the right size wasn’t difficult.

“Wow… there are so many swimsuits…”

Hong Seo-hyun openly expressed her amazement.

When they were young, both boys and girls usually wore cost-effective long-sleeved swimsuits from their swim schools. But as they got older, they naturally became interested in bikinis and rash guards.

Hong Seo-hyun’s cheeks flushed slightly as she checked out some of the more revealing swimsuits.

“Shall we start by undressing?”

“Hey, hey, hey…”

“What are you saying?”

Hong Seo-hyun and Choi Arin were startled by Hayoon’s blunt suggestion and lightly patted her shoulders.

As the three girls giggled…

A saleswoman from the swimsuit store, noticing them, approached.

“Hello. Are you looking for swimsuits?”

“Yes.”

“Judging by the fact that you came to our store, you’re probably looking for bikinis, right?”

Hayoon looked around briefly at the saleswoman’s words and sighed.

Now that she looked, there were indeed a lot of bikinis in this store.

“Yes, well… I’d like to wear a bikini.”

“R-Really?”

“Are we wearing bikinis?”

“We’re going on a staycation, so what’s wrong with that? There’s no one else around, and when else will we get to wear bikinis?”

“Th-That’s true.”

“Just thinking about wearing a bikini makes me excited.”

As Hayoon casually agreed, Hong Seo-hyun and Choi Arin fanned themselves, trying to cool down.

Hayoon was unusually calm, but bikinis required considerable determination, even for women.

As the two fidgeted awkwardly…

“Then, let’s start by taking your measurements. For customers with ample busts like yourself, it’s especially important to get accurate measurements for bikinis.”

“Really?”

“Yes, bikinis are only held together by strings, right? So even if the strings are just a little short, they can easily come undone. That’s why many people avoid string bikinis.”

“Aha.”

Hayoon nodded in understanding, placed her bag, cardigan, and vest on a nearby chair, and spread her arms, her white blouse revealing her black bra.

The saleswoman’s eyes sparkled as she approached with a measuring tape.

“Can’t we just use my bra size? I wear a D-cup.”

“Well, we should still take accurate measurements. Please take off your bra and blouse over there, and we’ll measure you.”

“Okay.”

Hayoon reluctantly followed the saleswoman and had her chest measured.

“I heard you’re looking to buy a bikini. I’ll help you with the measurements.”

“Ah, yes.”

Another saleswoman appeared and approached Choi Arin.

“Ma’am?”

“Yes.”

“You’re buying a bikini?”

“Yes.”

“…Please come this way.”

The saleswoman looked at Hong Seo-hyun with a slightly dubious expression and led her away.

Hong Seo-hyun, seemingly oblivious to the subtle nuance, just furrowed her brows slightly and followed. However, this reaction was understandable…

“It’s exactly an A-cup.”

“I know…”

“But it’s a full A-cup. It’s not so small that you can’t wear a bikini. However, I personally recommend a monokini like this, which covers the chest in an X shape with a wide piece of fabric, rather than a string bikini…”

“I know, I know…”

Hong Seo-hyun’s chest was the smallest in the former Game Development Club, the predecessor of BGG Company.

It was even smaller than Do Jin-ho’s, who had been pumping up his chest muscles at the gym, claiming he had too much free time.

Thanks to Seo Ji-woo, the undisputed ‘bottom,’ she wasn’t the smallest in BGG Company…

However, in the wider world, her chest was undeniably small.

“I can’t add padding to a bikini, can I? My friends are all… well-endowed…”

“That’s why I’m recommending a monokini. Regular string bikinis don’t offer enough support to lift the bust, but this one can firmly support the underbust…”

“Oh…”

“If you choose a model that also covers the lower abdomen, it will also hold in any excess weight…”

“Amazing…”

And our swimsuit saleswoman…

Although not to the same extent as Seo Ji-woo, successfully persuaded Hong Seo-hyun, who was insecure about her chest, to buy an expensive monokini.

Thus, Hong Seo-hyun’s bikini was chosen first.

Meanwhile, Hayoon…

“See? The actual measurement is quite different from the size you thought you were, right?”

“Oh, it is…?”

She was shocked after having her chest measured inside the fitting room.

It had grown again.

Even over her blouse, it was an E-cup.

And directly on her skin, it was also an E-cup.

A capital E, not a lowercase e.

“Why don’t you buy a new bra at our store? We’re currently having a bra discount event for bikini purchases.”

“I’ll buy a bra after I choose a bikini. I came here with my friends to buy swimsuits. I personally…”

“Aha, I understand. It can be awkward to share underwear preferences even with close friends.”

Although not to the same extent as Hong Seo-hyun, Hayoon was also easily swayed by the department store saleswoman.

These saleswomen dealt with dozens of customers every day.

Persuading three student customers to buy expensive bikinis, and even lingerie, was a piece of cake.

“I personally recommend a halter-neck bikini for customers like you. Regular string bikinis lack the support.”

“A halter-neck?”

“Yes, it’s generally this kind of design…”

The saleswoman presented a bikini that could be worn like a t-shirt.

It didn’t require struggling with strings.

“Since we’ve prioritized functionality for the top, let’s focus on sexiness for the bottom. These are string bikini bottoms.”

“Oh… I just tie them with a ribbon?”

“You need to tie them tightly so they don’t come undone while diving, but a ribbon knot is sufficient if you’re just splashing around in the water.”

“The design is definitely sexy.”

“We have various colors available. Would you like to see them?”

“No, I think a solid black with slits would be the sexiest. I have fair skin, so I think that would look best.”

“Indeed, an excellent choice.”

The saleswoman and Hayoon were on the same wavelength.

One was a professional at recommending and selling clothes, and the other enjoyed playing dress-up and posing in front of a mirror.

They were a perfect match.

“Then I’ll bring all the black halter-neck bikinis with slits in our store. You don’t have to stick with string bottoms, so feel free to look around.”

“Thank you.”

Hayoon tried on the bikinis the saleswoman brought, enjoying her private fashion show inside the fitting room…

“This feels a bit boring…”

Evaluating the bikinis alone made it difficult to get a good sense of them.

Bikinis were meant to be shown off, so judging them based on her own opinion felt a bit lacking…

She peeked outside the fitting room.

“Hmm…”

Hong Seo-hyun, already holding something, seemingly having bought a bikini, caught her eye.

“Senpai!”

“Huh?”

“Come in here. Quickly.”

She called out to Hong Seo-hyun, who seemed to be free.

“M-Me?”

“Then who else, Senpai? Come and check out my bikinis.”

“Uh…”

Hong Seo-hyun reluctantly entered the fitting room.

And what she saw was…

“Wow…”

A black bikini that boldly revealed the cleavage of Hayoon’s newly developed E-cup breasts and accentuated the line of her hips.

It was the kind of bikini a succubus would wear.

“What do you think? Should I buy this? Honestly, this one looks the sexiest in the mirror. The way the fabric wraps around my breasts feels nice, and it looks more high-end than cheap bikinis.”

Hayoon struck various poses, tilting her chest forward and arching her back, asking for Hong Seo-hyun’s opinion.

And Hong Seo-hyun…

“Ah…”

‘I think I’m going to get a nosebleed…’

She was genuinely overwhelmed by Hayoon’s appearance.

She wanted to hug Hayoon because she looked so beautiful, but hugging Hayoon in a bikini was like hugging Hayoon who was 87% naked.

She didn’t have the courage to hug her.

“you’re so beautiful…”

“I know.”

She expressed Hayoon’s beauty, albeit crudely.

It was a bit annoying that Hayoon knew she was beautiful, but she was undeniably beautiful.

“I’m going to buy this. I’ll go ask them to wrap it up, so try on the one you bought, Unnie.”

“O-Okay…?”

“I’ll give you my evaluation.”

Hayoon chuckled and left the fitting room with the bikinis.

“E-Evaluation?”

The thought, ‘Who’s evaluating whom…!’ briefly filled her mind, but…

“Ha, let’s see…”

Her body honestly started changing clothes.
