Chapter 22

PS: Thank you, Meng Ni Yi Lian Mo, for your generous tip! I just woke up, as I stayed up late last night!

At this moment, Jang Ji-yeong was reading a magazine in the VIP room. However, what she really wanted to know was how Park Ji-ho would look after his makeover. Park Ji-ho was being pampered by the store manager, who applied various lotions to his face, covering up any imperfections and adding a touch of eyeliner!

Park Ji-ho only slightly frowned, and an air of melancholic nobility instantly emanated from him. At this moment, Park Ji-ho was truly perfect, flawless in every way. The slight upward curve of his lips was so charming that even the store manager herself almost swooned!

Now, only the final outfit was left. The store manager had already decided on a white suit for Park Ji-ho, which would perfectly complement his princely noble aura, making him absolutely flawless!

However, when the store manager asked Park Ji-ho to take off his shirt, he was quite resistant. At first, the store manager thought Park Ji-ho was shy, but then she laughed and told him it was only the upper body, as it was very important. The lower body, with the suit pants, was almost negligible, but she still needed to pay attention to the upper body. If any accessories were needed or if there were any issues with the waistline, she needed to make adjustments!

But Park Ji-ho refused to take off his shirt, and it took almost ten minutes of persuasion before he finally looked at the store manager seriously and said, "I can take off my shirt and expose my upper body, but don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid...?" The store manager laughed. What was there to be afraid of with a man's body? Even if he had tattoos, even of ghosts, she wouldn't be afraid. So, Park Ji-ho's words only made her find it amusing!

At this point, Park Ji-ho started to take off his shirt. Because he was trained daily by the prison warden, Park Ji-ho's physique was excellent. Soon, his eight-pack abs were revealed, and his V-shaped abs were clearly defined. The side muscles were so attractive that they made women unable to resist!

However, when Park Ji-ho took off all his clothes and was left bare-chested, a gruesome scar on his right chest was revealed. This was not the end; there was also a deep scar on his left shoulder! When he turned around, numerous small but terrifying scars were visible on his back!

The store manager was so shocked that her mouth dropped open. She stammered, "W-What... What are these?" She couldn't help but touch Park Ji-ho's back and said, "With such scars, how are you still alive?"

Park Ji-ho gave a bitter smile. Yes, during the grenade explosion, he used his body to protect Park Ji-yeon. The explosion's force left his back a bloody mess. When he was taken to the hospital, the doctors said he wouldn't survive 24 hours. But no one could have imagined that Park Ji-ho, not knowing if his sister was alive, clung to life with sheer determination. For many nights in the hospital, Park Ji-ho's room echoed with his continuous moans, as the pain was too intense to scream out loud, which would only worsen his injuries!

All the doctors were amazed by Park Ji-ho's strong will to live. When they learned that his motivation to survive was his concern for his sister, this good oppa received the most meticulous care from the doctors and nurses!

Looking at the store manager, Park Ji-ho smiled and said, "I'm still alive, so can you help me get dressed?"

His words snapped the store manager out of her thoughts. A man like Park Ji-ho was a mystery. If he were to make a move, the store manager would fall into his arms in no time!

.........................................

Almost an hour had passed. Jang Ji-yeong was idly scrolling through her phone when the store manager suddenly walked into her VIP room and said with a smile, "Ji-yeong, it's done! Let me show you your oppa's transformation!"

Hearing that the store manager had finished with Park Ji-ho, Jang Ji-yeong immediately perked up and said, "Great! Great! Let me see what Ji-ho oppa looks like after the makeover. Oh, I'm so excited!"

Seeing Jang Ji-yeong's excitement, the store manager chuckled and said, "As you wish, our prince is about to make his grand entrance!"

Park Ji-ho had a fair, smooth face with sharp, cold features; his deep, dark eyes exuded a captivating charm; his thick eyebrows, high nose, and perfectly shaped lips gave him a handsome and gentle appearance. Dressed in a pure white suit, his cold, charming face exuded a complex aura, a mix of various qualities, but with a unique elegance and handsomeness!

Jang Ji-yeong was instantly stunned. Seeing her stunned expression, Park Ji-ho smiled gently. His warm smile made his thick eyebrows ripple softly, as if always smiling, curved like the crescent moon in the night sky. He then said, "How do I look... Ji-yeong? Is it okay?"

"Y-Yes... Oppa! How can you be so handsome?" Jang Ji-yeong suddenly stood up and rushed over, hugging Park Ji-ho tightly! Her cute actions made Park Ji-ho laugh, as she really reminded him of his sister!

Although Park Ji-ho's transformation was impressive, making Jang Ji-yeong's heart bloom, Park Ji-ho gained a bit more confidence about being the lead in T-ARA's "Lie" MV in a few days. However, when he received the bill and saw 2 million won, his blood slowly dripped down. He immediately exclaimed to the store manager, "Sister, did you make a mistake? How can it be 2 million? Is this a rip-off?"

The store manager didn't get angry at Park Ji-ho's words but smiled and said, "Actually, the main cost is the suit. It's an Armani suit, which we gave you a 20% discount, making it 1.6 million won. The makeup cost is 500,000 won, which we also gave you a 20% discount. So, 2 million won is absolutely correct!"

"Wow...?" Park Ji-ho was surprised and said, "How can a suit be so expensive? Can I not have it?"

"Ah... Oppa, why not! You look so handsome in it. If you don't have the money, I have my father's credit card. I can buy the suit for you; he would definitely agree!"

Park Ji-ho shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's too expensive!" He then took off the suit and put on his own clothes. He negotiated a 400,000 won makeup fee to be paid in 24 monthly installments before taking Jang Ji-yeong to Dongdaemun to pick out some cheap and youthful clothes!

However, Jang Ji-yeong had a good eye, and every piece of clothing she picked out fit Park Ji-ho perfectly, making him very satisfied. The two almost got recognized by KARA fans, but fortunately, Park Ji-ho quickly grabbed Jang Ji-yeong's hand and shouted, "Run!" No one managed to capture any real photos!

The two of them laughed uncontrollably as they ran into the car, and Jang Ji-yeong's feelings for Park Ji-ho grew even more!
