Hyeji looked at her reflection in the mirror and opened her eyes.

After getting everything from makeup to hair done by a professional, her appearance changed dramatically.

“Customer, you are so beautiful! Your makeup and hair color match perfectly now!”

The stylist who finished fixing her hair continued to praise her.

From the time I put on basic makeup, I kept making a fuss about how ‘I look like a baby’s skin, my skin is the color of milk,’ so I’m now used to the high tension.

Hyeji smiled awkwardly and accepted the stylist’s compliment without any reply.

“Baby, are you done? how is it? Do you like it?”

Hyunwoo, who had finished styling before Hyeji and was sitting on a chair waiting, walked towards her.

With his natural proportions, plus expert makeup and hair care, he showed off the power of a celebrity.

“Yes! What does it look like to you…? Are you okay?”

“Wow, it’s pretty. She looks like a total goddess. How about me?”

Hyunwoo praised Hyeji with cliché words, then pointed at himself and shrugged his shoulders.

A smile full of confidence in himself made him shine even more.

“Oppa… wow, he really looks like a celebrity. It’s awesome.”

“Does your boyfriend look good?”

“Yes, he is the most handsome!”

“You’re pretty too. To the point where I fall in love with myself once more.”

Hyunwoo smiled the most charming smile he could and kissed her cheek.

“Oh my, my boyfriend speaks so sweetly. Both of you are truly handsome men and women. Shall we go take a picture right away?”

The stylist who was watching smiled happily and pointed to the studio.

“Then… Shall we go take some pictures, honey?”

“Hehe… Yes!”

Hyeji lifts the hem of her wedding dress and takes one step at a time on her pointed shoes.

Today is the day I decided to take a wedding-themed studio photo with my brother.

And… the next evening is the day I plan to meet the Juju couple at a hotel in the city.

Therefore, the styling worth hundreds of thousands of won that I just received was not only for an upcoming photo shoot, but also for an offline meeting in the evening.

For example, it could be a kind of suppression of momentum. Even though I didn’t know his face yet, I had no intention of appearing easy from the first meeting.

She was worried and anxious in the morning, but once she finished styling, her confidence soared.

This is a styling that was completed after receiving consultation from a color coordinator to determine whether it was a cool tone or a warm tone, testing the matching foundation color, lip color, and makeup method, and working together with several makeup artists.

It was no exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful person she had ever been in her life.

An elegant woman wearing a wedding dress reflected in a full-length mirror. A man of superior stature stands next to him. Hyeji’s face turned bright red as she looked at the mirror.

“Why, is there something you want to fix? If you want to change your dress, do so before filming begins. The second time I wore it, it was also pretty.”

“No, it’s not like that… It’s so pretty to see you again… Thank you, oppa.”

“Ah, what. I am even more grateful that you gave me courage. Let’s take a nice photo. And in the evening, eat delicious food and have fun. Got it?”

“Yes!”

Black tuxedo and bow tie. It’s not for nothing that they say that men love suits, and Hyunwoo literally shined in a suit.

Hair parted and pulled back and a wide forehead on a small face. Good eyes and a gentle smile. His entire body exuded a warmth that made those who saw him smile.

Hyeji looked blankly at Hyunwoo, who was smiling in the mirror.

handsome. I always thought he was good-looking, but my brother, who made up his mind, was so handsome that my heart trembled just by looking at him.

How much admiration the employees at the shop had for my brother. My boyfriend said I was very handsome and asked if I was a model, and even suggested if I could take a promotional photo for Instagram in exchange for a discount on the cost.

He is truly a man who brightens up those around him with just his presence. He is a man who becomes the object of attention and admiration wherever he goes.

And that man was her boyfriend. She was the only woman in the world who was accepted by such a man and who could understand him.

“Kim Hyun-woo couple, are you ready? Can I start filming?”

“Yes, please start.”

“ Hey, you two don’t have any fun visuals, do you? Even if you just take a picture, it’s still a work of art. Let’s start with basic photography. Would you two please stand facing each other?”

Hyeji, who was looking at Hyunwoo as if fascinated by something, came to her senses when the photographer asked her to pose.

click! click! click!

“I love you, Hyeji. It’s pretty.”

Hyunwoo, facing her, whispered his love to her.

“Next, I will do a pose where the man is kneeling! All you have to do is hold the bouquet behind you!”

He knelt down to the shy woman and offered her a bouquet like a groom proposing to his bride.

click! click! click!

I started living with my older brother and went out for the first time in a week. A special date that leaves nothing to be desired as a reward for your previous efforts.

Hyeji, who became the brilliant bride of May, put a smile on her face.

Hyeji stood close behind Hyunwoo and waited for the hotel elevator.

The place we decided to meet was the Sky Lounge Bar at the top of the hotel.

The beauty shop she visited in the morning and the hotel she is currently in are places she would not have even known existed.

Everything around me was unfamiliar.

Amidst the brilliantly shining lights and sparkling marbles, she squeezed Hyunwoo’s hand.

“Why are you nervous? Are you scared?”

“Yeah… I feel a little nervous. Oppa, aren’t you nervous?”

“I’m a little nervous too. I told you that they were a couple I really admired. I feel like a fan meeting a celebrity.”

Hyunwoo also seemed uncharacteristically nervous.

What kind of couple is the Juju couple? Even though they were the couple who changed his life, it was not an empty statement. Their proof photos played a big part in why I decided to get plastic surgery.

I was jealous every time I saw it. Unlike myself, who couldn’t even have a decent relationship, I admired those who were masters of all kinds of games and boasted about them.

This time last year, he was definitely like that. I dreamed of a life like theirs, lying alone in a big house, staring at my phone endlessly.

“I told you not to worry, but… Well, it seems like I’m more nervous.”

To ease the tension, Hyunwoo joked and held Hyeji’s hand.

“Ah, don’t be nervous. If you look at the messages he exchanged, he was a person with great manners. I’m sure he’s not a strange person.”

“Puhup, something is funny. I told him that… and now he says the same thing to me.”

Hyunwoo and Hyeji, who were waiting for the elevator, looked at each other and burst into laughter.

What Hyunwoo said to her to bring her here.

‘If those people are strange people, am I also a strange person? What is a strange person in the first place? You’re not looking at it with sunglasses again, are you? It’s just about communicating and spending time with people with similar tastes.’

Now Hyeji was saying the same thing.

Tiring –

The elevator I had been waiting for arrived. The elevator carrying the two quickly went up to the top floor.

“I trust you, oppa. He said that if those people try to do something, my brother will cover it all. But here… no matter what I try, I can’t do it. Drinks must be very expensive in a hotel like this, right?”

Hyeji was amazed when she saw that even the elevator was decorated with gold.

The words she just said also matched what Hyunwoo had told her.

‘Why are you hesitating so much? We’re not meeting in a strange place, we’re meeting in a hotel bar where everyone knows our names. If he tries to do something strange, I will stop him. ‘Honey, you really don’t trust me?’

Hye-ji accepts Hyun-woo’s thoughts as if they were her own and memorizes them like a parrot. She accepted all of Hyunwoo’s tastes and values, and was no different from Hyunwoo’s puppet.

Tiring –

The elevator door that reached the top floor slowly opened.

The entrance to the bar, bright with gorgeous chandeliers and lights, greeted the two.

“Welcome, customer. Are there two of you?”

“Ah, the reservation is made in the name of Seungju Kim.”

“Ah, yes. We will guide you to your seat.”

A waiter who dresses neatly and formally and takes the lead in a polite manner.

In a high-rise lounge with a panoramic view of downtown Seoul, Hyeji walked carefully while looking at the neon signs of the city beyond the glass window.

gulp –

As I got closer to my reserved seat, my heart pounded.

My first time getting makeup, my first time visiting a famous hotel, and my first offline meeting.

Almost everything today was my first time, but I wasn’t overly scared. There was nothing to be afraid of with her brother, who was now holding hands with her.

Yes, just like my brother said, just have fun. They said they would pay all the expenses, so they got free drinks and snacks.

Hyeji nodded and imagined what kind of people the Juju couple would be like.

Before her brother met her, she was like an idol that she always envied. The ideal couple that my brother most wants to be like.

What kind of people are they that are capable of playing like that, and what kind of mindset do they have that plays like that?

Most importantly, how did they get married?

There were many things I wanted to know. There were many things I wanted to learn.

At first, I was reluctant to meet people from the community offline, but now I feel excited.

He watched their videos, and they also watched their videos. In the end, it’s just people who admire each other’s videos meeting and sharing their tastes.

As expected, my brother was right. From the beginning, I was narrow-minded by wearing colored glasses and thinking in a negative light.

“I helped with guidance. If you need to place an order, please ring the call bell.”

As I walked along with the waiter, I arrived at the table in an instant.

The ‘Juju Couple’ sitting on one side of the four-person table quickly got up to greet Hyunwoo and Hyeji.

Not to be outdone, Hyeji greeted Hyunwoo with a fresh smile as if she had met him for the first time.

“Hello! Uh… this is Jeong Hye-ji. Pming, no, she’s Hyunwoo’s girlfriend.”

That’s how her first offline meeting began.
