“Do you have a specific model in mind, or do you like any particular design?”
“No, I don’t have anything specific…”
The next day, Jiho visited a fine jewelry boutique recommended by the stylist and booked by Bong-gi. Jiho scanned the sparkling showcases while waiting for the owner.
Just like Jiho’s gaze exploring the rings, the employees standing around were also admiring Jiho. To the staff, he was like a jewel.
The female employee managing the greeting efforts tried to maintain composure. “Are you looking for a ring to give to your girlfriend?”
“Yes.”
Even while answering, Jiho’s gaze lingered on the small sparkles. It seemed neat not to be too large. Or maybe not. The more he thought, the more difficult questions piled up.
“By the way, congratulations on winning the Best Actor award. I always watch your dramas these days. I’m really… a fan.”
“Oh, thank you.”
Then, for a moment, his gaze shifted to the shy voice. In her head, she was repeating the mantra for the fifteenth time today alone since she started greeting Jiho.
She hurriedly continued, “I’ve only seen you in dramas, but it seems like your girlfriend has a slightly cute image…”
“Yes, she’s very cute.”
“Ah… yes, right.”
But her face became a bit redder. Perhaps because a sculpted person was staring at her so intently.
Jiho himself couldn’t be too aware of it. It was so natural for Hyeyoon to be cute. So, he answered as straightforwardly as the clear questions. Wondering why her face was turning red, Jiho glanced around for a moment, and the employees scattered here and there also seemed embarrassed.
Jiho quietly lowered his gaze. He decided to let it go, thinking it might be just that. Then, he pointed to the ring he had been looking at from the beginning.
“I find this one beautiful. It seems comfortable, too.”
A ring covered in tiny sparkling diamonds. It had a simple design where diamonds wrapped around the entire finger. Jiho carefully observed the employee’s reaction. Women would know what women like, he thought.
And, his choice seemed to be not bad at all, as her response burst with excitement.
“Wow, exactly. Honestly, from the moment we received the message that you’d come yesterday, the ring I wanted to recommend the most was that model.”
Despite her joyful voice, the hand pulling out the ring was extremely careful. The gloved hand cautiously presented the ring.
“Although it may look smaller than 2 to 3-carat diamonds, this model is set with top-grade diamonds. In fact, the total carat weight is over 2 carats. It will sparkle brilliantly with every movement of your hand.”
“I see.”
“Yes. It seems to suit your girlfriend’s image very well. It’s also comfortable to wear in daily life.”
Jiho gazed at the ring laid out in front of him, carefully considering. All the expressions used by the female employee in her explanation, such as small and dazzling, seemed to be referring to Heyoon. So, a slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. It seemed like there was no need for further contemplation.
“Then, I’ll go with this one.”
The subtly nodding head was refreshing. The face, filled with a faint smile and satisfaction, looked amazingly stylish. ‘I’m a professional. I’m a professional.’ The female employee’s self-encouragement had already exceeded 21 times.
After a moment of clearing her throat, the employee raised a stiff reservation certificate over the showcase.
“But there’s only one sample left for this model… If you’re okay with it, it will take at least two weeks for it to arrive from overseas.”
“Yes, that’s fine.”
The hand noting Jiho’s name, date, and model name also needed to be calmed down. In fact, it was embarrassing to describe diamonds as ‘dazzling and sparkling.’ What on earth was she introducing to this person who was the most dazzling in front of her?
‘I’m a professional. I’m a professional.’ With the 22nd mantra, she stared at Jiho.
“Thank you. So, what about the size?”
“Ah…”
At that moment, Jiho’s words trailed off. A person who easily chose a ring worth millions of won seemed unsure with just the word ‘size.’ Again, a phrase fitting the feeling echoed. ‘That’s the problem.’
The female employee stopped the pen for a moment.
“This model is a 360-degree all-diamond setting. So, the size is very important. You can think that it won’t be adjustable after production.”
“…I see.”
Jiho, who was pushing his back against the chair, clenched his fist. Then, dissatisfaction wrinkles formed between his forehead. A typical expression of a nonchalant man seen in advertisements. The female employee in front of him seemed like her heart was about to burst, and other female employees scattered around were also fidgeting.
Suddenly, Jiho’s hand rested on the showcase. Tap, tap. His fingertips rhythmically tapped the glass surface.
“Instead, I’ll remember it with my hand. Quite accurately.”
“…With your hand?”
And in response to the puzzled question from the female employee, Jiho slowly opened his palm, repeatedly repeating the gesture.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
