“Wait, hold on…!”
I exclaimed, startled by Sohee’s actions.
She had suddenly approached me from her previous position of just standing still.
I knew all too well what this action meant, after enduring those moments with Sohee each evening.
No matter how much I liked her, shouldn’t there be some decorum about these things?
I cast a side glance at the closed door.
It seemed that, out of consideration for us, the staff and Mary inside had not come out, but there were certainly people on the other side of that door who could peek in at any time.
“It’s fine.”
“No! What do you mean it’s fine?”
Despite my protests, Sohee did not stop her actions.
She drew closer, gently caressing my cheek, her hand slowly beginning to lower.
Though my body instinctively reacted to her familiar touch, I had no choice but to back away again.
Gently pushing her hand away, I opened my mouth.
“Are you not going to try on other clothes?”
“Ah…”
Sohee froze in place at my question.
With a look of regret, she licked her lips and took a step back.
Of course, her hand lingered on my cheek for some time longer.
“I have to see everything.”
“Then… you should wait patiently…”
“Okay.”
Only then could I breathe a sigh of relief.
No matter how much I liked her, timing was everything.
Yet, I couldn’t entirely fault Sohee for her reaction.
Objectively speaking, I knew I looked quite pretty and cute at that moment.
It was a miracle that Sohee hadn’t lost her mind completely.
As I watched Sohee return to her original spot, I spoke up.
“Hmm… so, do you have any other poses you want?”
“Hmm…”
“Hey, nothing inappropriate.”
“Hmm…”
I couldn’t allow her to lift up her skirt to show me anything.
Who knew how excited Sohee might get then?
Her serious expression as she pondered my words made me a little anxious, and she finally said:
“How about a little turn?”
“Like this?”
I carefully turned around as requested by Sohee.
Starting with a soft spin, the white dress spread out wide as the soft veil fluttered in the wind.
“Looks good… next…”
And so, Sohee took about ten minutes to admire me.
Throughout her appraisal, it was clear her mouth was drying, as she continuously drank from the water bottle.
How long had she been holding back?
I wiped the sweat from my brow and smiled awkwardly.
“Shall I go try on the next one?”
“Yes.”
After the first dress appraisal time ended, I returned to the room, and, as expected, Mary was waiting at the door.
With a slightly smiling face, she seemed to have something she wanted to ask.
“Please put on the next one…”
“How was it?”
“What do you mean, how was it?”
“Sohee, how did she react? Did she love it?”
“Ah… yes, she seemed to love it a lot.”
“I knew it.”
Continuing the conversation with Mary, I began preparing for the next dress.
But since no meaningful questions flew my way, it seemed Mary had no clue what Sohee was attempting to do.
“Ha…”
Now it was time for the second dress.
This time, unlike the previous one, the back exposure was a bit daring.
As I inspected the dress, I noticed something odd.
For some reason, the dress looked slightly different from what I remembered.
It clicked in my mind: a large ribbon decoration had been added to the chest area.
“Uh, Mary?”
“Yes?”
“This ribbon… wasn’t it supposed to be missing?”
“Ah… well…”
With a smile, Mary began explaining my question.
She elaborated on how the original design of the dress could hardly fit the wearer.
It turned out that the initial design showcased a bit too much exposure at the back and chest, but since the person wearing it had a very small bust, they had added the ribbon decoration to cover up.
“So we changed it a little to emphasize cuteness rather than the original sexiness.”
“Uh…”
I gently touched the ribbon adorned on the chest.
Certainly, with such a flat chest, that level of exposure could not be maintained.
I couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
For some reason, my chest felt a bit cold.
“Is there anything strange?”
“Of course not. It’s perfect.”
Really?
I slightly turned around, checking different angles in the mirror.
I had never worn such clothing before, but it felt oddly awkward.
In the end, I had no choice but to nod in agreement.
They were professionals, after all. How could there be anything wrong?
“Then, off you go!”
“Yeeah…”
Thus, the appraisal period for the second dress began.
As before, I climbed up onto the podium to face Sohee.
“How is it?”
“Pretty.”
A short, flowing compliment.
I smiled gently as I began changing poses according to Sohee’s direction.
“How does it look?”
“Sexy.”
“What about this one…?”
“You’re teasing me?”
“Isn’t that what you told me to do…?”
“Hmm…”
“What about this one?”
“I want to go to bed.”
“What about this…?”
“I can’t hold back.”
As our commentary progressed, her desires became more transparent.
I smiled awkwardly while fiddling with the ribbon on my chest.
“Did you know…? They added the ribbon because my chest is small…”
“Yeah. I already knew.”
“Oh, I see…”
“… I prefer small chests more.”
No, that wasn’t why I asked.
I just casually wondered if she was aware of the design change.
But what in the world was the function of that ribbon decoration?
I fidgeted with my hand and lightly tugged on one part of the ribbon.
The white ribbon slipped away gently.
The large ribbon on my chest was undone by that light touch.
“Ah…”
I looked down at my chest, where the ribbon had disappeared.
Even though they had added a ribbon decoration, the exposure hadn’t changed, leaving a significant part of my chest exposed.
The gazes directed toward my chest felt intense.
Quickly, I raised my hand slightly to cover myself and sneaked a look at Sohee.
“Is this really teasing?”
“Ah, no!”
“It seems like it is…”
“N-no…!”
I shook my head in panic at Sohee’s question.
I absolutely did not act with that intention.
It was merely that the ribbon had come undone.
There was no way I was trying to tease Sohee.
But it seemed Sohee didn’t think so.
Licking her lips, she rose from her seat and strode towards me, effortlessly lifting my body.
“Ugh…”
“We’re going home.”
“B-but I haven’t tried on everything yet!”
“It’s fine. We’ll take it home.”
With Sohee lifting me, my legs didn’t touch the ground.
No matter how hard I kicked my short legs, they couldn’t reach.
And so, Sohee went toward the adjacent room, still holding me.
As I flailed around in her arms, I eventually gave up resisting.
How could I calm a child who was so excited her eyes were bloodshot?
I silently buried my face in between Sohee’s arms.
Click—
As she opened the door and walked in, Mary’s voice drifted to my ears.
“Oh? Sohee?”
“I think we need to go home.”
“But there are still many dresses left to try on?”
“Just wrap them up and send them to the house.”
“Are you sure you won’t regret not seeing them?”
“Yeah.”
“So, Hayun, you’re just taking it as is…?”
“Yeah.”
“I see…”
Hearing the conversation behind me, I burrowed further into Sohee’s embrace.
My face was burning hot, making it hard to look up.
Mary seemed to have some idea of what was going on, as she didn’t press further.
How much time had passed?
I found myself seated in the car, still held by Sohee.
In the stillness of the vehicle, the only sound that rang clearly was Sohee’s hand reaching out to set the destination.
“We’re going home, right…?”
“Yeah.”
Silence continued after that.
I knew Sohee must’ve been bursting with excitement, so why wasn’t she making a move now?
Could it be that my predictions were wrong?
I slightly tilted my head to gauge Sohee’s reaction.
“Ugh…!”
The moment our eyes met.
Her blazing gaze sparkled fiercely.
I was taken aback by the intense feelings held within her eyes, quickly looking away.
Sohee was containing herself.
Holding herself back, waiting for the moment we arrived home.
I swallowed hard, patiently awaiting our arrival.
The car zoomed faster than usual, quickly bringing us home.
As soon as we arrived, Sohee, still holding me, leaped out of the car.
I could barely keep pace; she had begun to run without hesitation.
How long did that go on?
Before I knew it, I was inside the bedroom along with Sohee.
“Huu…”
Sohee, taking a deep breath, seemed to calm her excitement slightly, now looking at me with a composed expression as she set me down on the floor.
I stood there awkwardly, bracing myself for what awaited, and shut my eyes tightly.
But oddly enough, nothing happened.
I cracked my eyes open slightly to see what Sohee was up to.
“About earlier…”
“Earlier?”
“Do what we did before again.”
“Before… that one?”
“Yes.”
She certainly had a lot of requests…
But that didn’t mean I could refuse.
Lowering my gaze, I gently grasped the hem of my dress.
As the white fabric slid up, my thighs started to become uncovered.
“More.”
“Okay…”
Swish—
Was it about to really start now?
With that thought in mind, I cautiously gauged Sohee’s reaction, only to find that she still looked unsatisfied.
“Undo that too.”
“This…?”
At her question, I gently touched the ribbon located at my chest.
I had come back home with the ribbon tied in place.
“Yes. Carefully take it off.”
“Umm…”
So many demands.
I bit down on the dress hem I was holding and slowly began to untie the ribbon at my chest.
As it came loose—
Swoosh—
The white ribbon extended openly to both sides.
Just like that, my chest lay bare.
“Huu…”
I heard a low, breathy sound.
When I blinked my eyes open, Sohee had somehow gotten closer, gazing down at me.
“A-are we going to…?”
My question slipped out inadvertently.
But Sohee didn’t respond.
Instead, she demonstrated her intention through action.
In an instant, I was lifted and gently tossed onto the bed.
As I thudded down, a black shadow loomed over me.
A heavy weight pressed down on my waist.
Sohee was looking down at me, straddling my body.
“Oh, today… I don’t think I can play Deron.”
“Yeah.”
“What about food?”
“I’m not eating.”
“What about sleep…?”
“I can’t sleep.”
“Oh no…”
