Hwi flicked his somewhat curly, good quality brown hair.

“What were you doing, Hwi?”
“I was looking at the script. Although I only have one line, it was so fun.”
“You wore out the script for just one line?”
“Even though it’s one line, if I understand the overall content, the weight will be different. It’s also fun.”
“You’re so cool, Hwi….”
Se Yeong muttered as if admiring him.

She knew nothing about the business, but she wanted to establish a management company to help Hwi.

Not because he was her boyfriend, but Hwi was truly perfect. He managed himself strictly and his pride in his work was tremendous.

Why can’t everyone recognize such a talent? She couldn’t understand.

Then, a growling sound echoed from Hwi’s stomach.

He quickly covered his stomach with his arm, as if he was embarrassed.

“I’m sorry, I came straight here from my parttime job.”
“That’s okay. I’m also hungry. Let’s look at the script.”
Se Yeong, who had been stationary and commanding people until recently, started to move actively since meeting Hwi. She wanted to do whatever he needed.

When she returned to the table after ordering a brunch set from the counter, she heard murmuring from behind.

She thought they were murmuring because Hwi was handsome, but upon listening closely, that wasn’t it.

“Is she a sponsor? The guy is too precious. Have you seen her shoes? Don’t they seem to be screaming for mercy?”
Se Yeong looked down at her own feet. Her shoes were a bit tight because they didn’t fit, but they didn’t look like they were screaming for mercy.

Ignorant things. They couldn’t even afford these shoes even if they worked nonstop for a year!

Se Yeong clenched her trembling hands tightly, then Hwi placed his hand over hers.

As his soft and warm hand covered hers, her anger seemed to subside bit by bit.

“Excuse me for a moment, Se Yeong.”
Hwi, rising from his chair, approached them.

The two women who had been murmuring closed their mouths tightly.

Hwi, with a graceful motion, picked up a teacup and poured it over the woman’s head.

“I can endure insults about me, but I can’t tolerate insults about my girlfriend. Can you please leave?”
With words like an angel’s whisper, the two women blankly stared at him, nodded their heads, and retreated in a row.

“I’m sorry, Se Yeong. I always seem to show you an unpleasant sight. I should have endured it.”
Hwi, who had wonderfully driven away the evil group, apologized, blaming himself.

“Don’t apologize, Hwi. I’m touched because of you.”
Se Yeong vowed. She decided to live for Hwi.

“The brunch set is ready.”

The staff member placed a tray in front of the two.

Hwi seemed famished as he devoured his food mindlessly. However, he didn’t appear gluttonous but rather pitiful.

Like a grandmother wishing to satiate her grandson, Se Yeong offered her share to Hwi as well.

She would lose her mind at the sight of food, but strangely, she never felt hungry when in front of Hwi.

After their meal, the two took a leisurely stroll in the park.

“I’m sorry, I wanted to take you somewhere nice, but I got all my parttime job salary ripped off…”
Tears welled up in Hwi’s eyes.

Hwi mentioned living with his grandmother. His father, addicted to gambling, would occasionally visit home to snatch money.

“I understand. My father was like that in the past.”
Her father didn’t snatch money, but his incompetence made the family suffer through financial hardships.

Nevertheless, he was a good father to Se Yeong. Unlike her mother, who only liked her older sister, he would secretly buy her snacks.

“I couldn’t imagine. You seem flawless and so precious, Se Yeong.”
Hwi seemed genuinely surprised as he spoke.

Se Yeong waved him off.

“Precious, yeah right.”
She said so, but she felt proud. It was something she always wanted to hear.

And Hwi was the one who said it.

“I should get going now.”
“Why?”
It had been less than two hours. Se Yeong asked, taken aback. Seeing Hwi’s gloomy face made her heart sink.

“You shine brightly and are perfect, but I feel so insignificant that people keep pointing fingers at me.”
“People look at us because they feel sorry for you!”
“No, it’s because of how I’m dressed.”
Upon Hwi’s words, Se Yeong gave him a once over. She only focused on his face and hadn’t noticed his shabby clothes. His black shirt had holes and was faded from excessive washing, and his jeans were worn out.

“Shall we go shopping?”
“Shopping? I’ve never shopped and don’t know how to choose good items…”
“I know well, so it’s fine.”
Se Yeong hailed a cab assertively and pushed Hwi into the seat.

The taxi soon halted in front of a department store.

As they entered the store, a seller greeted Se Yeong politely after receiving her call.

“Wow, isn’t this the place where you have to stand in line to get in? I heard my customer… no, my friend has to wait.”
“I don’t need any of that. Come on in quickly.”
Se Yeong confidently looped her arm in Hwi’s and led him inside.

“We’re here to shop for my boyfriend’s clothes. Please prepare something that would suit him from head to toe.”

Upon Se Yeong’s request, the sellers moved quickly.

Se Yeong was a valuable and treasured customer who would open her wallet as soon as she was flattered that something suited her.

“No, I’m really okay.”
Hwi spoke, but he didn’t outright refuse.

“Everything would look good on you, you’re as good as a clothes hanger, and so handsome.”
Resigned, Hwi picked up the clothes and entered the fitting room.

Se Yeong waited for Hwi, sipping the refreshments and drinks that the seller had prepared.

After a while, Hwi emerged, having changed his clothes.

Everyone who saw Hwi gasped. The clothes suited him so perfectly, as if they were made for him.

If a designer saw him, they might have shed tears of joy.

“My goodness, it suits you so well! Isn’t your girlfriend’s customer a model? She must be so proud, everything suits you!”
“That’s enough. Please charge everything.”
To the seller’s fuss, Se Yeong confidently handed out her black card.
