“Hmm.”

I looked at the closet with a proud expression.

After moving, my closet, which had always felt empty, was filling up with various clothes.

The sight was certainly satisfying, but I felt like I had overpaid.

After breaking up with two people.

I didn’t return to the real world right away.

I walked around Shinjuku leisurely and enjoyed shopping.

I mainly shopped for clothes and shoes.

I’m not really interested in clothes, but Shinjuku itself is a good place to shop for clothes and shoes, so I ended up buying them naturally.

“Did you buy too much?”

When I think about shopping in Japan, I feel like my wallet is opening a little more easily.

The fact that it was a foreign country had a big impact.

The thought that if I don’t buy it now, I’ll never get another chance, that it’s something I can’t see in Korea dominated my mind.

As I thought about that, my wallet naturally opened.

“…Now that I think about it, I shouldn’t have bought the yellow clothes.”

I usually wear only neutral colors like white, gray, and black, so why did I buy something like this?

Among them, there was an object that exuded a strong presence in one corner of the closet.

Blue suit.

It was a suit with a color combination that reminded me of Superman, purchased in a cyberpunk world.

Although it is a suit that greatly increases physical abilities when worn, I haven’t had a chance to use it recently.

If it were a hero world, it would be something that could be used openly.

“…Is there a Superman in that world?”

It seems like it would be obvious since it’s a hero world, but it also seems like it wouldn’t be there because it’s such a symbolic existence.

Woof.

I checked my ringing cell phone.

“Who could it be…”

I was trying to guess who it might be when I suddenly burst out laughing.

In the past, there would have been no need to even think about who it was.

Spam or advertising texts.

Or maybe it’s just a curt message from an ex-girlfriend.

Now quite a few people have crossed my mind.

When I looked at my phone, I saw the same name as always.

“Hannah.”

As a model, I was busy with photoshoots, but it seemed like I finally had some free time.

When he asked me if it was okay for him to come to my house, I told him to come right away.

It was a good thing I ended up buying a bunch of clothes.

Can you get your fashion judged by today’s hottest models?

It was truly a luxury.

“…You wouldn’t say they’re all bad, right?”

I sat down on the sofa, feeling somewhat uneasy.

***

dripping.

“Are you here?”

It came sooner than I thought.

As I looked at the quest board, time seemed to pass quickly.

As I opened the door, Hannah, who looked even more radiant, came in.

“Ow…”

It was sudden, but I accepted the hug.

I think it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.

Before I knew it, I had become a woman who knew how to act spoiled.

Hannah’s progress was remarkable.

“Long time no see.”

“Really…”

Hannah and I now have a natural, friendly tone of speech.

It’s been a while so I’m hesitating about what to talk about.

Surprisingly, Hannah was the first to bring up the topic of conversation.

A completely unexpected topic of conversation.

“Oppa, you became really famous. What happened?”

“Huh? What?”

You’re famous?

weird.

If the world existed until yesterday, I would have been a celebrity.

There’s no way I’d be famous even in this real world.

“I heard a rumor. There’s an idol contractor.”

“…Ah.”

An idol contractor.

It was a somewhat creepy nickname, but there was an incident that brought it to mind.

An incident involving a male idol.

“He’s huge, and he’s so good at sex that he steals girlfriends from male idolsㅡ”

The rumor was slightly distorted.

…Rumors are true, but he didn’t steal my girlfriend.

She was just a woman from an establishment that was slowly eating away at the money of male idols.

On the one hand, it was questionable.

Aren’t there a lot of people in the world who are big and good at sex?

“…Why do you think it’s me?”

“He’s muscular, has a big chest, likes to wear black clothes, and can’t drive.”

“Nane.”

I couldn’t deny it, so I smiled bitterly, and Hannah laughed along.

“…You became that famous?”

“In our industry. This industry is small. Should I call it the entertainment industry?”

After Hannah became famous through Instagram and became the main model for a sports brand.

In fact, he has become almost like a celebrity.

I also filmed short videos to post on SNS with idols, and actually appeared on public broadcasting and entertainment programs.

It was credible since it was Hannah who said that.

Because it is an industry where staying ahead of trends directly leads to profits, we were sensitive to rumors.

In that place, my rumor spread in an instant.

Hannah continued speaking with a hollow laugh.

“There are all kinds of people. From people who want to make requests to people who want to appear.”

“You want me to appear?”

I asked back, curious as to what on earth they were planning to cast me, a regular person, as.

Then, surprisingly, it seems that there were more than one or two people who thought that way.

Hannah spoke fluently.

“Some people said that they have good bodies, so they said something like a survival show where they compete in physical strength, and some people said a dating program, and others…”

“Is there more?”

“Of course. Everyone is looking for it.”

A popular Instagram model consoled me, saying I must be tired.

It was a really embarrassing moment.

“Actually, someone asked me that too.”

“Huh?”

“Because I uploaded the picture on Instagram openly.”

“Ah…”

True to her word, Hannah would confidently post pictures she took with me on Instagram.

From photos of us standing together to photos of just me.

It is said that an idol cautiously asked after seeing the photo.

I wonder if the person I’ve been hearing rumors about these days is the man in the photo.

It was worth thinking that way.

A large, muscular man.

A person close to an idol.

A person who somehow looks like they’re good at sex.

Because there were people in the photo who met various conditions.

“So what did you say?”

“I told you to tell me if you have any concerns.”

It was virtually positive.

Hannah said she thought the person who asked her was trustworthy and told her.

“If that’s what you thought.”

I decided to trust Hannah’s eyes.

Actually, I didn’t really care if rumors spread.

“It was an obvious worry. I wanted to get revenge on my boyfriend.”

“…Really?”

Revenge.

You asked me to do this even after hearing my rumors.

I thought I knew what kind of revenge I wanted.

“I’ll tell you more later. First…what is that?”

Hannah pointed out the shopping bags and plastic bags piled up in one corner of the living room.

A small hill was created.

It was all the remains of shopping.

Even for the models, this sight must have been a rare sight, and Hannah was looking at the shopping bags in admiration.

“I bought some clothes this time…”

“A little?”

“…a lot.”

Admitted it.

I took Hannah to see the closet.

Hannah’s expression became serious and she began to look through the clothes one by one.

I felt nervous because I felt like I was being judged on something that wasn’t anything special.

Hannah began to slowly sort through her clothes.

Left, center, right.

Most of the clothes went to the left, with some going to the center and right.

I watched the process quietly, and when the sorting was finished, I couldn’t hold back any longer and asked.

“What criteria did you use to divide it?”

“Hmm… These are the things I think I bought well….”

He pointed to the clothes on the right.

There were only two or three sets.

“These are things you can only tell by looking at the person wearing them… What is this blue suit? A Superman cosplay? ”

“…Similar beggar…”

“Maybe it would suit you.”

This time I pointed to the clothes in the middle.

Among the clothes there was also a blue suit.

I was momentarily flustered when I noticed the blue suit, but it seemed like they got over it as a cosplay outfit.

…This one is more embarrassing.

Finally, Hannah pointed to the clothes on the left.

“What should I sell?”

“…Really?”

I bought so much, but I have to sell just as much.

I felt somehow empty.

“You bought it without wearing clothes, right?”

“Ugh…”

Those words stung a little.

If I had tried them on and bought them one by one, I wouldn’t have been able to buy that much.

When I spoke with a sigh, Hannah patted my back comfortingly and said,

“It’s okay.”

“…Isn’t a hoodie okay?”

I pointed to the hoodie on the list of things to sell and protested timidly.

“Usually…but this brand is kind of…narrow shoulder line…Would you like to try it on?”

Seeing is believing.

Hannah figured it would be quicker to show than to explain, so she told me to change my clothes.

I took off my top and changed my clothes without hesitation.

“Gyah.”

Hannah made a soulless sound and pretended to cover her eyes with one hand.

If you’re going to pretend to scream, why are you caressing my body with the other hand?

I changed into a hoodie and felt a little uncomfortable.

The size is definitely right, but somehow the arms and shoulders feel tight.

And when I looked in the mirror, it was even worse.

“…Did I lose height?”

It seemed like he had lost a little bit of height.

“That’s because the clothes have a slightly saggy shoulder line. Especially if you have a lot of upper body muscle like my brother, it makes you look even shorter.”

“…I see. But it looks okay after looking at it.”

When I nodded and insisted, Hannah’s expression became slightly frowning.

It was Hannah’s frowning expression that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“…Phew. Here it is.”

After saying that, Hannah rolled up her sleeves.

I picked out my clothes and took out a pouch from the bag I brought.

There were cosmetics inside the pouch.

‘…no way…’

I just blankly stared at Hannah moving busily, not even anticipating what was to come.
