Chapter 114.2: I’ll Follow Your Orders (1)

Heo Eun-Sil entered the specialty coffee shop around ten minutes since Seok Kang-Ho left.

She was wearing a tight t-shirt and short shorts that barely covered her underwear. Plus since she only applied red lipstick, it looked as if she had the words ‘I have fun a lot’ written all over her body.

After she looked at Kang Chan, she immediately headed to the counter after saying “What do you want to drink?”

“You looked cool on TV.” Heo Eun-Sil sat across from Kang Chan, and she talked to him while taking off the plastic from the straw.

“What’s going on?”

“I called you because of the festival.”

“The festival?”

Kang Chan waited for a moment because she had the straw in her mouth.

“Our school has a fall festival. It’s done in two high schools along with Shimdeok, and they’re going all out by gathering the parents as well. So help us.”

After she put down the drink, Heo Eun-Sil looked at Kang Chan as if she was asking him for something that she entrusted to him. “I’m the operation committee member of the festival.”

Kang Chan couldn’t help but smirk.

“We don’t want to lose to Shimdeok Highschool this time, so all the athletics club members decided to become operations committee members. This will be my last festival since I won’t be able to go to college.”

“What do we have to do to win?” Kang Chan asked.

“We need a lot of residents to come to the school festival for the performance on the last day.”

“Are you asking me to call people to the festival?”

Heo Eun-Sil looked at Kang Chan with eyes that asked why he was pretending to not know what she was saying. “I heard that the father of one of the students there runs an entertainment agency, so Shimdeok is inviting So Yoo-Ran and AMP. Don’t you know AMP? It’s an up-and-coming girl group.”

Phew, what did I expect from meeting this bitch? In the end, she was asking me to call celebrities to the school festival.

“I heard that our high school has had inquiries from students looking to transfer since we have gotten rid of bullying. For the first time, I find it fun to go to school nowadays, so I wanted to make my last festival cool.”

Shouldn’t she say things like this seriously for it to be convincing? However, she was just perversely sitting back against the chair and swinging her crossed leg.

“I’ll buy clothes today. Accompany me,” Heo Eun-Sil continued.

Does this bitch have something on me that even I am not aware of or has she gone crazy because she can’t act like a delinquent anymore??

“I only have clothes like this. I’m also trying to wear normal-looking clothes like the other kids, but I really don’t know what to wear at all, so pick them for me,” Heo Eun-Sil explained.

“You can go with Ho-Jun for things like that.”

“How can I trust him? He’s just like me.”

Kang Chan didn’t know anything else, but he had to at least acknowledge this bitch’s guts.

“I also didn’t put on makeup because you told me not to,” Heo Eun-Sil added.

Kang Chan was about to get annoyed. He already had a lot of things he had to pay attention to, and here she was thinking of him as a pushover…

“Come with me just for today. I won’t ask you for this kind of favor ever again. I really just want to live an honest life.”

She thought she looked and sounded cute.

‘Ha!’

Kang Chan looked at Heo Eun-Sil with a profound expression. There was no way for him to know what this bitch was thinking.

He would rather look into a math textbook.

“I can’t even choose my own clothes,” Kang Chan said.

“That just means you’ll be choosing clothes worn by simpletons, right?”

Kang Chan genuinely laughed this time.

Fine. Since she claims she wants to live a normal life now that she has quit bullying, why shouldn’t I go with her and help her buy clothes just this once??

“Where do they sell the clothes that you want?” Kang Chan asked.

“Tron Square.”

Kang Chan was as tired of that place as he was of the Namsan Hotel.

“Alright. Let’s go.”

When Kang Chan stood up, Heo Eun-Sil readily followed him.

They hailed a taxi, and Kang Chan sat on the passenger’s seat.

“Tron Square, please,” Kang Chan told the driver.

No one said anything on the way.

Kang Chan thought he knew what the driver was thinking just by looking at his expression—in the back seat, Heo Eun-Sil was sitting perversely and swinging her crossed legs.

It was Saturday, so Tron Square was extremely crowded.

Clothing stores were lined up on the second and third floors, which were connected to a department store. However, they were all expensive.

“There are cheap clothes inside over there,” Heo Eun-Sil said.

It was hard to compare her to Michelle, but Heo Eun-Sil also attracted people’s attention.

She looked cheap and like a deliquent.

It would be difficult to clearly display those two things as this bitch did.

Unlike his worries, barely anyone recognized Kang Chan.

Heo Eun-Sil went into a store that was quite large even for Tron Square standards. The products were cheap, and there were quite a lot of young people inside.

Behind Heo Eun-Sil, who was choosing clothes, Kang Chan stood blankly.

Unlike when he went to the department store to buy Yoo Hye-Sook’s clothes with Kang Dae-Kyung, Kang Chan felt so suffocated it was as if a rope was tied around his neck.

“How’s this?” Heo Eun-Sil asked.

“Is that for babies? It’s the same as what you’re wearing right now.”

Clang.

Heo Eun-Sil roughly put down the clothes that she had picked out, then asked, “What about this one?”

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

“Doing what?”

“That’s shorter than what you’re wearing right now.”

“This is short?”

Heo Eun-Sil quickly turned around when she saw that the look in Kang Chan’s eyes had changed.

“Heo Eun-Sil?”

Even though Kang Chan was calling her, Heo Eun-Sil pretended not to know him.

“Hey.”

This wasn’t right at all. He just wasted his time.

Kang Chan accompanied her because he remembered the look in the new member’s eyes when he asked Kang Chan for his hat and bandana and because Heo Eun-Sil said that she would live an honest life for once. However, enduring this any longer was difficult.

Kang Chan was about to turn around and leave.

Whoosh!

Heo Eun-Sil suddenly turned around. “I don’t know! I really don’t! That’s why I asked you to help me! I don’t know what to wear because you aren’t choosing clothes for me first! What kind of clothes do you like? What will make me look like a normal kid?!”

Everyone nearby looked at them.

The look in Heo Eun-Sil’s eyes and her expression seemed to show that she found this situation unfair. She wanted to pick the right clothes, but she was failing at it. Even though Kang Chan didn’t know why this bitch was trying this hard, he could at least clearly tell that she wanted to make this work.

“Leave,” Kang Chan said.

Heo Eun-Sil reflexively looked at Kang Chan’s right hand, afraid that he would hit her.

“Get out of the store.”

When Kang Chan took Heo Eun-Sil out of the store, she looked very disappointed.

On the hallway, they found a bench without a backrest.

“Sit,” Kang Chan ordered.

Heo Eun-Sil sat down loudly with a

plop

, then crossed her legs. She looked as if she felt mistreated as she glanced at Kang Chan, who was calling someone.

“Hello?”

- Channy! Where are you?

“I’m at Tron Square. Michelle, I’m sorry to ask this of you, but can you send a wardrobe stylist over?”

- You’re buying clothes, Channy? I’ll go!

“That’s not it—there’s this female student who wants to wear normal clothes but can’t choose what to buy. Just let me know if there’s a wardrobe stylist available since it’ll be uncomfortable if you come here.”

- Is it your new woman, by any chance?

“Don’t say unnecessary things.” Kang Chan replied flatly, making Michelle quickly change her tone.

- Sorry, Channy. There’s an outdoor shoot at Yeouido and Nonhyeon-dong, so hmm, they’ll get to Tron Square in twenty minutes. Where exactly are you?

“I’m at the hallway on the second floor.”

- I’ll tell the employee to leave right now. Are you free today? Let’s have dinner together.

Kang Chan had shown her that he was free.

“Alright. I’ll call you once I’ve taken care of this.”

- Okay, Channy.

When he ended the call, Heo Eun-Sil was still sitting with her legs crossed. Her shorts were so short it actually looked as if she wasn’t wearing any bottoms.

They had to wait twenty minutes.

“I’m going to go smoke a cigarette. Do you want to stay here?” Kang Chan asked.

“I’ll come with you.” Heo Eun-Sil stood up.

They went down the stairs from the second floor and headed to the flower bed where Kang Chan beat up the kids last time.

Kang Chan took out a cigarette, then sighed. “Do you want to smoke?”

“Yeah.”

How could the same “yeah” sound so different as an answer? Now that he thought about it, he had never bought Kim Mi-Young a single T-shirt.

While they were smoking, some people carefully bowed to Kang Chan as they passed by.

When Kang Chan glanced at them, Heo Eun-Sil kindly explained who they were. “They’re the bullies from Shimdeok Highschool.”

They returned to the second floor, and after ten minutes of waiting, the wardrobe stylist arrived.

“Hello!” The employee greeted Kang Chan.

“I’m sorry for calling you on a Saturday.”

“Not at all. I don’t ever feel like I’m having a hard time whenever I’m at work, Mr. President!”

The wardrobe stylist looked more excited than Heo Eun-Sil, who was the one that was going to buy clothes.

“Since our company is producing a drama that has our actors playing both the lead and supporting roles, the production company will become even more powerful for as long as the wardrobe and the makeup employees remain responsible for the lead actors. Not only me, but all the employees have so much energy nowadays that it’s as if we ate mountain ginseng!” the employee exclaimed.

This was surprising.

Kang Chan looked for an opportunity to introduce Heo Eun-Sil to the employee, then asked the employee to look for clothes that Heo Eun-Sil could wear regularly.

.

“How much are you thinking of spending?” the employee asked.

Kang Chan looked at Heo Eun-Sil, but for the first time, he felt her hesitating. It was just for a really short moment, but Kang Chan remembered what he felt when he was parting ways with the kids that said that they should eat pork cutlets, which was very absurd.

“I’ll pay for it, so if it’s not something very expensive, then you don’t have to worry about money,” Kang Chan said.

“Understood, Mr. President.”

Heo Eun-Sil didn’t look at Kang Chan to the end.

The wardrobe stylist looked around their surroundings with an expression that was hard to tell if she didn’t know or if she was pretending to not know anything about Kang Chan and Heo Eun-Sil’s relationship. Soon after, she went into a store.

She did the work of many people by herself very quickly and without problems.

The wardrobe stylist, who had gone around four stores, instantly made Heo Eun-Sil look normal.

She didn’t look tacky at all.

The employee told Heo Eun-Sil how to wear the clothes and which ones to pair together among those that they had bought. The employee also advised her about the different styles she could go with.

For some reason, Heo Eun-Sil didn’t say unnecessary things and just put on the clothes that the female employee told her to wear and accepted the clothes that the employee picked for her.

The female wardrobe stylist left in less than an hour.

Honestly, Heo Eun-Sil looked like a different person.

‘I should also buy proper clothes.’

Kang Chan didn’t know that clothes could make a person look this different.

“Are you satisfied?” Kang Chan asked.

Heo Eun-Sil didn’t answer.

“Let’s smoke before we leave,” Kang Chan continued.

Shopping around was very tiring.

Kang Chan went in front of the flower bed again, took out cigarettes, and lit them up with Heo Eun-Sil.

In any case, they were finally done.

As Kang Chan thoughtlessly looked around his surroundings, he suddenly had a weird feeling. Glancing to his side, he found Heo Eun-Sil crying.

She’s crying with just a few clothes? Did the wardrobe stylist’s expertise touch her?

Kang Chan shook his head.

This bitch tires people out…

“This is the first time,” Heo Eun-Sil said, wiping the back of her hand that she used to rub her nose on her butt. “This is the first time someone didn’t request anything after buying clothes for me.”

This crazy bitch—you should wipe your tears. Why are you only wiping your nose?

“I hated losing more than dying, but there was nothing that I could do. Every time I tried to do a good job, nobody helped… me. Urgh.” Heo Eun-Sil sniffled. She should stand up straight when talking.

“Give me another cigarette,” Heo Eun-Sil said.

Kang Chan just quickly gave her one.

“I want to finish the festival nicely. I’ll show the sperm bitches and the bullies from Shimdeok that even I can do a good job. I’ll also try to become a wardrobe stylist.”

Kang Chan didn’t know who she would be working with, but that actor would be the best in the universe when it came to wearing clothes that made them look vulgar.

“Give me that unnie’s phone number so I can ask questions and about

hagwons

that I can go to. Urgh!” Heo Eun-Sil said.

This bitch tired him out so much.
