"We're not dating yet."
"Pardon?"
"You seemed curious about what kind of relationship we have."
Director Kim Minju wondered if the woman before her had a skill to read minds.
She had assumed they were dating since they were a man and woman going to Wonderland together, but it seems she was mistaken.
"I apologize. If my gaze made you uncomfortable, I'll apologize once again."
"It's okay. But I guess we look like that?"
"Yes, you look like a very well-matched couple."
"Really? Thank you."
The cat-like woman was extraordinary from her first appearance.
Her linked arm with Baek Taeyang, as if not wanting to be apart even a little, looked like that of lovers to anyone.
Even when choosing clothes, she asked for Taeyang's opinion quite naturally while finding the best girlfriend look.
She even kissed him occasionally or hugged him openly, so it was natural to think they were a couple.
'But they're not, yet they're this close?'
Kids these days are really different.
Director Kim Minju automatically compared it to her dating days with her husband.
They would blush and not know what to do just from holding hands.
Now they openly live together while saying they're "not yet" dating - she almost laughed out loud.
"Nest really does have a lot of nice clothes."
"Thank you for the kind words."
"This one, that one, and... the one I just tried on? Please prepare those."
"Yes, understood. I'll prepare them right away."
She picked up each item of clothing the woman mentioned and hung them up for easy changing.
Fortunately, she didn't need to worry about Baek Taeyang's side as four designers were already assigned to him.
She grabbed all the hung clothes and walked straight to Baek Taeyang.
"Taeyaaang~ I picked all my clothes, won't you dress me?"
"We don't have time, so I'll definitely dress you next time."
"Aww..."
She came back to Kim Minju with a disappointed expression.
It was a gesture saying she'd accept any help she could get, even though the clothes looked easy to put on.
At Director Kim Minju's level, she analyzes VIPs' every word and action in depth.
Just now, what seemed like ordinary behavior from the woman's perspective was interpreted differently by Kim Minju.
'Nest too?'
A person's dignity and grace aren't created in an instant.
From the moment she first saw her, she felt like someone who had spent a lot of time in high society.
But hearing her treat the country's top company like a store just now, it was eye-opening.
"Perhaps..."
"Yes, that's right. The daughter of the Magic Tower."
"...Thank you."
But wasn't the Magic Tower's daughter said to be in a relationship with Kim Minsu?
The articles said so, so she naturally thought So Yumin would be with Kim Minsu.
Though the parties denied it, the two-shot that came out in early articles was not ordinary.
So she naturally thought they were dating.
She almost committed a great rudeness by not recognizing a royal family member.
Fortunately, she hadn't made any verbal mistakes yet and the woman seemed to be in a good mood.
"Then I'll take you to Wonderland right away."
Clearly, they both had a lot of experience with this, as the process of choosing clothes was very short.
They had clear likes and dislikes, were decisive, and knew their own style clearly.
Calling them a handsome man and beautiful woman wasn't just flattery.
Their briefly visible figures in the rearview mirror were the epitome of luxury goods.
They maintained an elegant atmosphere while matching the casual mood of an amusement park.
In Baek Taeyang's case, he just wore jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black cardigan, but thanks to his muscular body, it looked like a fashion statement.
So Yumin showed both youthful and adult aspects with a white tennis skirt, apricot-colored stockings, and a red long-sleeved V-neck T-shirt.
'Didn't they say one more person was coming, not just the two of them?'
There's a saying that birds of a feather flock together.
Naturally, the person such a handsome man and beautiful woman would meet would surely have a similar appearance.
She had never seen a case where that wasn't true.
However, Kim Minju's thoughts would be shattered moments later.
"Oh, it's Minsu."
"Is that person your companion?"
"Yes, that's right. Please stop here, thank you."
"...Yes... It was an honor to serve you."
She couldn't believe it.
How could a person dress like that.
'He's going to associate with VIPs looking like that?'
Should I stop this even now?
Kim Minju, who was seriously considering this, turned the steering wheel.
She didn't want to see that sight anymore.
++++++++++++++++
The first thing visible was lemon-colored cotton pants.
They were asserting their presence while directly reflecting the warm sunlight.
"You're a bit late, about five minutes."
Wink!
Kim Minsu's attempt at wit and winking felt more like aegyo.
The pants, the pants are lemon-colored? If only the pants "alone" were lemon-colored, it would have been better.
If the problem was in just one place, we could tell him to change, we could buy him new ones.
"Minsu, why are your shoes purple...?"
Even as she spoke, Yumin's pupils were shaking incessantly.
The harmony of purple shoes, black socks, and lemon-colored cotton pants drove viewers mad.
Surely she should have gained immunity to mental attacks due to the witch's blessing, but it wasn't working.
"Oh, I heard this is the latest trend?"
Judging by his tone, someone must have recommended it.
They probably didn't recommend the overall outfit, but picked the trendiest items one by one and then mixed them.
"Taeyang, our top colors are the same!"
They were the same.
The difference was that Minsu had a deeply cut V-neck with the collar turned up.
I was going to let it slide if possible.
The plan was to tease him a bit while enjoying ourselves if he just dressed decently.
'This isn't right.'
It was way over the line.
He even forcibly applied wax to his completely unstyled hair and swept it back.
You want us to walk around Wonderland together with him looking like that? This was a serious problem.
'If it had proceeded according to the original episode, it would have been a 1:1 date with Yumin.'
The story development must have changed a lot due to my intervention.
Those clothes were probably his attempt to look better.
This was his choice after trying hard not to lose his girlfriend?
"How did you get here?"
"Oh, I came by bus."
He's crazy.
This was exactly why only Kim Minsu could be the protagonist of this novel.
A hero who forgets shame and silently reaches his destination through adversity and hardship.
A knight who endures contempt and persecution, nodding alone when everyone else says no.
That was Kim Minsu, the protagonist of .
"Minsu, this really isn't okay."
Even if a person dresses like a loser, there should be limits.
Going around looking like that, we'd be treated as one group.
The protagonist might not know shame, but Yumin and I weren't like that.
"What's not okay? This... they picked only the most popular clothing parts from the recommendation list."
"Who on earth?"
Actually, I could guess who it was.
I'd heard about it once before.
"There's such a person, a master of love... you could say."
"...I see."
Belatedly, the gold necklace and large buckled belt caught my eye.
Yumin was dry heaving behind me, seemingly nauseated.
Even families who came to Wonderland early in the morning were shocked to see Kim Minsu.
Right now, Kim Minsu was the only one who didn't notice this situation.
"Why is everyone reacting like this? Don't tell me you stayed up late from excitement? We're not kids."
Pretending to be mature tone.
"This is troublesome today... You might lose your mind later when we drink soju."
Suddenly emerging alcohol pride.
Kim Minsu clearly came prepared today.
He had prepared a killer move to instantly reverse the precarious relationship.
"Minsu, I'm really advising you. If you go around like that, people will all laugh at you."
"Isn't it just getting attention?"
"How can you not look when there's a clown on the street. Let's... let's go in first."
From a quick search yesterday, Wonderland had many clothing stores.
From casual clothes to cosplay outfits, there was a variety, so we just had to endure until then.
If he refused to change, I'd have no choice but to beat him into listening.
"I... I don't think I can look... Taeyang, I'm just going to hold onto your clothes and walk..."
"Okay, rest a bit."
Yumin hadn't even greeted Minsu yet.
You'd think she'd at least wave given their past affection, but she didn't even do that.
It was proof of how terrible Kim Minsu's fashion was.
"Minsu, walk a bit further away."
"But I came to see Yumin..."
"I told you to stay away, do you want me to say more?"
"S-sorry..."
Changing one's appearance doesn't change what's inside.
Fortunately, he immediately became submissive with just a little threatening attitude.
If he had really been filled with bravado to the bone, I would have had no choice but to use violence.
"Welcome to... pfft... I mean, welcome to Wonderland!"
We're laughed at at the reception desk just for being with Kim Minsu.
"Mom, I think that person peed his pants."
"Shh, don't say things like that, let's just go without making eye contact."
"Dad! I want that eagle-like toy on his belt too!"
"Hey! Minwoo, you shouldn't say such things loudly."
Maybe because we're awakened ones, I could hear everything clearly no matter how quietly they spoke.
The blessed body was acting as the worst curse at this moment.
"Wow, that's really crazy. Walking around like that."
"Birds of a feather flock together, it must be some otaku gathering."
It was unfair.
I wanted to shout loudly that it wasn't true.
'If only... if only there was an emergency quest...'
Kim Minsu kept mumbling behind us as he followed.
He clearly didn't want to change clothes, but something was desperately needed to turn the situation around.
There was a limit to making him shut up by frowning and saying something.
'Glasses Fatty, please save me.'
There's no way Glasses Fatty would just watch a situation that deviated greatly from the episode.
He must be trying his hardest to kill me, so how could he just watch this situation? It doesn't make sense.
And as if understanding my heart, just as I was about to hold Yumin's hand, a quest window appeared before my eyes.
---------------------------------=
Emergency Quest Activated!
[Hallucination Dungeon :: Succubus Night] begins!
---------------------------------=
Suddenly, the surroundings begin to fill with white fog.
The lively Wonderland starts changing into a dark night street red-light district.
A red light descends like a curtain on the brightly lit street.
"...I'm saved."
This was better.
