“So this is the ‘dignity maintenance fee’ your mother-in-law gave you?”
Han-na, who finished her work at a frightening pace, rushed to Seonwoo’s apartment where Green was waiting. Jenny, having heard the news belatedly, joined them immediately after her ad shoot.
Green was waiting anxiously for her friends, with stacks of 50,000 won bills neatly placed on the living room table.
“I thought it would be about a million won at most. But it’s 8 million won, and she said it’s a monthly thing.”
“Money’s a problem when it’s scarce, not when it’s plenty. Honestly, 8 million isn’t that much.”
Jenny’s nonchalant remark drew a tongue click from Han-na.
“Easy for someone who’s never worried about money to say. Green, what are you most worried about?”
“Getting this much money means I have to dress up for every gathering. I know nothing about that.”
Green, with a glum face, suddenly pushed the stack of money towards Han-na.
“Take all this, Han-na.”
“What? Are you crazy?”
“You handle the styling. For those gatherings or whatever, T.P.O., right? Clothes, makeup, hair, that stuff.”
Han-na, glancing between the money and Green, frowned, puzzled. Jenny chimed in from the side.
“Basically, Green’s asking you to be her stylist. It’s what you usually do, why hesitate?”
“Styling celebrities and ordinary people are different. It’s harder to get sponsorships for non-celebs.”
Hearing Han-na’s complaint, Jenny took out her phone and called her agency director.
“It’s Jenny. Remember that script from Director Cho Eun-chan last week? The one about twin sisters taking revenge by entering a chaebol family as the daughter-in-law?”
“I’ll do it.”
“It’s fine. Just make sure I wear pretty clothes.”
After the call, Jenny looked at Han-na.
“This should make things easier, right?”
“Hmm. If it’s for Jenny’s, it’s easier to talk about ordinary sponsorship. For what can’t be sponsored, let’s buy it! We’ve got money.”
Han-na smiled, looking at the money.
“Guys, I owe you one. Seriously, thank you.”
An emotional Green hugged Jenny and Han-na tightly.
Jenny cringed but didn’t push away the clinging Green. However, Han-na, disliking the display of affection, quickly pulled away.
“It’s not time to be happy. There’s still a problem.”
“What problem?”
Han-na looked Green up and down and advised coldly.
“Han Green, let’s lose some weight.”
“What?”
“I can’t work with the clothes I handle if they don’t fit you. We can cover up your height with high heels, but what about size? You need to lose at least 5 kg.”
“5 kg?”
Green felt wronged. At 168 cm, she was objectively not short, just relatively, compared to the much taller Jenny and Han-na.
“Hey, I weigh 54 kg at my height, which is not skinny but definitely not fat! How can an ordinary person match a celebrity’s body?”
“Who said to match exactly? Just get close enough.”
Seeing a dejected Green, Jenny offered a business card.
“This is my personal trainer. Call and mention my name; he’ll take off as much weight as you want, whenever you want.”
“Hey, Jenny. I’m a bit hurt, you know? Me? I want to lose weight too!”
Seeing an indignant Han-na, Jenny answered nonchalantly.
“Can you give up bread?”
“No.”
“Give up bread?” Han-na didn’t think twice before giving up on the idea. After all, earning money through hard work was for the sole purpose of tasting every delicious bread in the world.
“Let’s have a grand feast tonight for Green, who’s about to start a harsh diet! Green, order chicken and pig’s feet. Make sure it’s cold salad pig’s feet! Do we have beer at home?”
Han-na naturally headed to the kitchen and started rummaging through the fridge, causing Green to ask in surprise.
“Can you guys stay late?”
“We’re staying over tonight!”
“Really? Even you, Jenny?”
“Of course. How can I leave you alone in a strange house?”
Green was overwhelmed with emotion. The thoughtfulness of Han-na and Jenny was palpable.
“Look at this crybaby, her eyes are red again. You’re too soft-hearted.”
Han-na playfully slapped Green’s back, while Jenny retorted sarcastically.
“It’s natural to be moved in such situations. You’re just too desensitized.”
“Desensitized? Me? Ridiculous. I don’t want to hear that from you, Jenny.”
Watching Jenny and Han-na bicker as usual, Green couldn’t help but laugh.
Her friends didn’t pry into why she was left alone in this big house right after her wedding. They were unconditionally on her side.
While the world might call Green a Cinderella, she considered herself luckier than Cinderella. Cinderella had only one fairy godmother, but she had two fairy friends.
“Madam, you’ve lost more weight again. That’s what happens when you eat only greens.”
An Seong-deok, who came twice a week to help with housework, tsked as she opened the fridge and saw the untouched side dishes.
