Chapter 27: Friends Fee Payment Completed

When I opened the door and went in, there were many people even though it was daytime, and a woman in her 40s who seemed to be a designer approached me.

“Welcome.”

The designer who greeted me seemed to be someone I knew, so my older unnie spoke to me.

“Hello, Director.”

“Oh my, welcome, Mr. Lilinda.”

When I heard my older unnie’s conversation, I thought that person was the director.

“Why are you here so early? It’s not time for the perm to come off yet.”

“It’s not for me today, it’s for an acquaintance of mine.”

When I heard that, I, who had been hiding behind my older unnie, came out to the side.

“Hello.”

“Welcome.”

The director, who must have seen me properly as she was greeting me, trailed off and soon came closer to me with sparkling eyes.

“Wow… ma’am! What kind of hair products do you use?”

“Oh my, look at the shine. It’s so pretty.”

“How can the color come out like this?”

“No way. Hair like this glasswork can’t come out after dyeing.”

“What did you use to create volume? It’s like soft cotton candy.”

I felt a pleasant tickle when I saw her chatter about what she liked with sparkling eyes at the clothing store, but I also felt a pleasant tickle when I saw her asking questions while showing interest in what I liked.

Maybe it’s because I don’t have that kind of thing, but meeting people like this always feels good.

“Customer! Can I touch your hair just once?”

“Ugh. That’s fine, but can I sit down?”

“Of course! I’ll take you over there.”

The hair salon owner went up to the second floor instead of the first floor and went around the corner of the wall.

When I followed her, I saw a long hallway and went into one of the rooms there.

“What kind of room is this?”

“This is a private room. Celebrities, influencers, and regulars who don’t want their private lives exposed can use it here.”

“Oh… I see. But I’m not included in any of the three?”

When I asked her a question, she smiled and answered.

“You’re an acquaintance of President Lilinda. The president is a regular customer of ours, and I also want to provide hair service to customers.”

“Oh, really? I’m grateful. Can I sit here?”

“Yes, please sit comfortably.”

I plopped down on the chair, took off my mask and sunglasses, and placed them on the table in front of the mirror.

I thought the director would come if I waited, so I stayed still, but when the room became quiet, I looked up and saw the director and my unnie blankly staring at me.

“Uh… um, director?”

“Uh… yes?”

“She told me to keep staring.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I was staring blankly because the customer was so pretty.”

“Why are you staring blankly again, unnie?”

“Huh? Oh… because fall is so pretty…”

When I opened my eyes to look at the mirror, my unnie coughed and pretended to look at her phone, which was black and not even turned on, and glanced at me.

“There’s a reason the customer is wearing funny glasses and a mask. This is the first time I’ve seen someone this beautiful.”

“Thank you. There are so many pretty people in the world. Celebrities too.”

“Uh… I don’t think it’s at that level….? It’s like a doll coming to life.”

“That’s right! Autumn is so pretty!!”

I was about to lose my mind from the two compliments pouring in, so I interrupted them and asked the director to do my hair.

“Um… I’m sorry, ma’am, but there’s nothing I need to touch.”

“Huh? Nothing at all?”

“Yes, your curls are so pretty, and your hair is voluminous, and your hair texture is even more amazing. Of course, this is assuming you stick to your current style.”

While I was worrying, I said to the director, “Your hair is too wavy. Should I cut it like you did?”

“No!!! Absolutely not!!!!”

As soon as I asked if I should cut my hair, my unnie yelled from behind me that I couldn’t.

“Oh… Why are you yelling, unnie?”

“I think it’s right not to cut it either. It’s really too much for you to think of cutting such precious hair.”

“That’s right! Absolutely against it! Ga-eul is prohibited from getting a haircut!!!”

One person shouted their utmost opposition, and seeing the director whom I had just met look upset made me wonder if things were normal now.

“Okay, calm down. Then why did you bring me here?”

“How about Ga-eul cutting her bangs?”

“Bangs? I don’t have bangs?”

“I’m cutting it because I don’t have any. I think it’ll look cute no matter what.”

“???”

As I was pondering the conversation that seemed to be going down a rabbit hole, I heard the director’s voice behind me.

“That’s a common misconception among men. It means cutting the side hair to make bangs.”

“Ah… I understand. I think it would be nice to have bangs too. Please cut it.”

“I’m getting a haircut, but can you make a decision so easily?”

“Yes, it’s okay. Director, do whatever you want. Hair grows back, so what?”

The director was delighted by my words and said with a serious smile that he would do his best to make it pretty.

The director told me to wait a moment, put on an apron with various equipment inside, and wrapped a cutting cloth around me to prevent my hair from falling on my clothes.

“I’ll begin, sir.”

“Yes, please take care of me.”

As the director said that he would begin, he played with my hair, then took out a pair of hair scissors and a tail comb from his apron and began to groom my hair.

As the cut began, the sound of the comb brushing my hair and the clicking of the hairdressing scissors rang pleasantly in my ears.

I closed my eyes blankly and enjoyed the pleasant sound, and then I heard the director’s voice saying it was over.

“Oh…”

I opened my eyes and looked in the mirror.

I saw cute bangs that fell below my eyebrows and cute hair that brushed my cheeks.

I liked the cuteness mixed in with my body that was full of sexiness.

“Wow… Our director is really talented.”

“Hehe, if I get caught, it’s over!”

“Wow! Autumn is crazy. You’re so cute!”

Maybe because I liked you so much, I instantly transformed into our director.

“But every time I touch your hair, I can smell a strong scent. Do you use some kind of hair perfume? It smells like peaches and I really like it.”

“No. It’s just a constitution.”

“Oh… Is there such a constitution? I’m really jealous.”

“Yes… Well, maybe it’s a rare constitution or something? It’s just like that, so I don’t know.”

“Then is your hair and eye color naturally like that?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s always been like this.”

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

After that, I persuaded the owner who refused to accept my money, paid the bill, and left the hair salon.

“Unnie, I have to go smoke a cigarette.”

“Huh? I smoked a cigarette earlier.”

“Hand!”

“I’m not a dog…”

While grumbling cutely, I slowly grabbed the hand that was coming closer, interlocked our fingers, and headed to the smoking area.

As I took out a cigarette and smoked it, my unnie asked me with a worried tone, “Do you like smoking that much, Ga-eul?”

“Of course, it’s s*x.”

“…If you’re going to use your pretty mouth like that, Ga-eul, give it to me.”

“Phew.”

I saw the cigarette flame burning near the filter and stubbed it out.

“Unnie, I’m going to be on a broadcast, so be careful not to show up on screen.”

“Why do I have to be careful?”

“Do you remember what I told you when you bought clothes?”

“Yeah, I remember.”

“Like I said back then, there are so many crazy people on my show that I don’t think it would be good if your face was shown.”

“But I still want to go on Ga-eul’s show…”

“No. Even so, let’s decide later, not now.”

“Yeah…”

She looked like a beautiful and proud cat that’s hard to approach, but inside she’s a dog-cat, and you could see her tail drooping and looking gloomy.

I looked at my unnie and spread my arms.

“Unnie, come here and I’ll hug you.”

My unnie widened her eyes as she looked at my spread arms, and after checking the surroundings, she confirmed that there was no one because there was a large bike rack next to the smoking area.

She slowly approached me and hesitated, so I pulled my unnie into my arms and hugged her.

“Hic.”

My unnie, who was about the same height as me, bashfully put her face on my shoulder, so I was able to completely hug her.

“Oh my, was my unnie upset?”

“…Yeah.”

I slowly stroked her back, which looked so sad. When my hand touched her back, I felt her flinch in surprise.

“Who made our pretty unnie sad? I’ll scold her.”

“Ugh.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

“Yeah…”

The meaningless conversation continued.

“Do you like me that much?”

“Yeah.”

“We’ve only seen each other for two days? What’s so good about it?”

She didn’t answer and hugged me tightly, then after a while she answered softly.

“I was watching from the second floor window yesterday before Ga-eul came to the store to buy clothes.”

“Before she went to buy clothes? Um… What are you talking about?”

“I saw her give the clothes she was wearing to a homeless person and give them money.”

“Ah… You saw that. So you think I’m a good person?”

I felt her nodding slightly as she buried her face in my shoulder.

“Um…”

I stroked her back and neck with my left hand, then stroked her lower back with my right hand.

“I’m sorry, but I misunderstood.”

“What’s the mistake?”

“I was someone who was so busy struggling to live for tomorrow, let alone the future.”

“When I saw that homeless person, I wondered if my future would be like that.”

She buried her head in my shoulder and quietly listened to my story without saying anything.

“The money I gave that person was the 100,000 won I received from my last day of hard labor.”

I raised the hand that was stroking her back and slowly stroked the back of her head.

“The clothes I gave that person were the clothes I wore when I worked hard in the winter.”

I slowly lowered the hand that was stroking her lower back and stroked her butt.

“Hic…”

I felt her body tremble every time I slowly stroked her butt.

“I just threw trash at a homeless person. I threw away the remnants of my past that were like trash in the trash can.”

I put strength into the hand that was stroking her and gripped her warm, soft butt tightly, and my fingers dug into the gap between her buttocks.

“Eek!”

“I thought it would be clean if I threw it in the trash can, but I was just trash myself. Even if I took a little bit out of the trash pile and threw it away, it was still trash, and even if I cleaned it, it was trash.”

He slightly relaxed the hand that was tightly holding her butt and put strength into his middle finger and pushed it between her butt cracks.

“Hehe! Ga… Autumn.”

“I’ve lived my life as I pleased until now, and I’ll continue to live like trash.”

He stroked her butt like that.

“Hehe… Hehe….”

When I looked up at her, who was leaning on my shoulder and flinching every time I stroked her in his arms, I could see that her ears were bright red.

I brought my mouth to her ear and whispered.

“Unnie, are we friends?”

“Hehe… Chi… Are we friends… Hehe…”

“Really? Then I should pay her friend fee.”

I slightly lowered my head and saw her pretty neck, so I put my lips on her neck to pay the friend fee.

As I stroked her butt while wiggling my middle finger, I could feel her body trembling in my arms.

He felt her trembling in his arms.

Feeling her trembling, he started to carve a hickey on her pure white neck, making an obscene slurping sound.

“Huh……… huh…….. This… Andaese… Go… La…. Heuk…”

He felt her body trembling violently in his arms.

After licking and sucking her neck repeatedly for a while, he saw a bright red hickey carved on her pure neck.

Only then, satisfied, he stopped his hands and mouth, and the woman he had been holding, trembling, seemed to have lost all her strength, resting her chin on his shoulder and letting out a ragged breath.

“Huh… huh…”

He held her with one hand, stroking her head, and with the other hand he took out a cigarette and lit it.

“Huh- are you okay, Unnie?”

“… ”

Did it feel that good when Ga-eul gave you money for your friend? My middle finger is slippery.

“Huh… ”

Pheuh.

“Now that I gave you my friend money, we’re best friends, right?”
