A Lie Has Become Reality

7 – Diversion

“I can’t do this.”

It’s been days since I’ve been living like a zombie, shutting myself in a corner after a f*cking family gathering.

In the meantime, I had time for self-reflection.

“Let’s go out for now”

This is really strange.

The corner of the house must have been my only resting place.

I think I’m going crazy because I’m stuck in the corner of the house now. It’s just that the environment has changed a little!

I tapped the desk with my fingertips and fell into contemplation.

I wanted to go on a trip, but it wasn’t a fundamental solution.

I don’t think the reason people change is that special.

I want to look good to the person I like. Or because I admired the main character in the drama.

Don’t you just live your life as if your clothes were getting wet in the drizzling rain, and suddenly, when you look back at the present, you find yourself changed before you know it?

There is no need to change as if the world is about to change right away.

It’s a small goal that anyone would laugh at if they heard it. Isn’t the beginning important?

****

Apgujeong Galleria Luxury Hall.

This place has been sending me invitations and gifts lately.

It’s a place like the hometown of luxury items piled up in my house.

Kikki-

At the entrance, two employees blocked my way and stared at the parking card attached to the windshield. Wanting to know what was going on, I rolled down the window and asked what was going on.

“Dear customer, there is a separate entrance for Prestige level members. Is it okay if I conduct valet there?”

“Oh, yes. Please.”

What, is there such a thing?

I accidentally put my key in and got off and switched seats with an employee.

“We will valet you to the dedicated parking lot so that you can go directly to the 1st floor of the main entrance.”

“Ah… yes….”

“When you leave, just return the card you received. Happy shopping.”

As expected, it was good to come out. I was satisfied with the feeling of being treated from the entrance.

I sent the vehicle out smoothly and entered the store through a dedicated passage according to the valet parking staff’s hand signal.

I have no knowledge or experience about the VIP shopping culture of department stores.

I don’t even have money to buy clothes, so what do I know when I’m wearing a mat? If I put it on my body, which was enlarged left and right, only the clothes I wore would have stretched.

‘Though the story is different now.’

Even if I spend my whole life, it will be difficult to write everything.

Isn’t that the minimum manners for my children sleeping in the bank account?

That’s why, if there’s something I want to buy, I intend to buy everything that catches my eye. Buy some presents for a friend who has one.

With an excited heart, I was leisurely walking through the luxury goods hall as far as I could.

Then what caught my eye was the staff walking towards me…

“Dear customer, are you enjoying shopping?

A female employee standing at the vanguard bowed her head respectfully in front of me before I knew it. Soon after, the staff behind me bowed their heads at intervals.

I looked around and saw how noisy everyone was looking in this direction.

“I’m sorry for the delay in greeting you for visiting me after such a long time. Would it be all right if I escorted you to the exclusive lounge right now?”

“Which lounge are you talking about?”

“Among the customers who use our Galleria, we are operating a separate lounge for the convenience of shopping for VVIPs. If you don’t mind, would it be all right if I guide you right now?”

So, in summary, isn’t it ‘we will serve you in a place where you can spend money conveniently’?

What am I? It’s welcome because I’m a person who wants to spend money.

When she nodded, the female employee smiled brightly and led her to the lounge.

“Dear customer, if you have trouble visiting, just contact us and we will send you a setting for each brand to your home.”

“Was that possible?”

“Yes, Prestige membership level customers can always use the travel service through the dedicated seller.”

“What on earth is the Prestige membership level?”

“Among the customers who use our Galleria, the top 30 people in the year can use the Prestige membership level benefits.”

Whoa.

That means I’m ranked in the top 30 in this Galleria. I just got embarrassed.

After talking about this and that, before I knew it, I arrived at the exclusive lounge.

As soon as I entered the lounge, the sweet smell mixed here and there, stimulating my sense of smell.

Brilliant lighting illuminated the surroundings brightly, and the marble interior emphasized the modern and sophisticated feel. Even the luxurious ornaments and fresh flowers placed here and there seemed to be in an art museum.

The chaotic noise you heard when you first entered disappeared, and the sound of live performances enveloped the space.

The deep and rich tone from the large body and long strings unique to a grand piano was an art.

As expected, the stability of the mind and body and the relaxation of the mind come from money.

After shopping, you can sit back and enjoy the music while enjoying drinks and desserts.

Thanks to the family reunion, all the stress melted away like snow. After all, isn’t financial treatment the best treatment?

I was passing the time by reading the magazine the staff gave me.

“Customer, you can enter the private room now.”

“Can I go right in?”

“You can use it whenever it is convenient for you! Dedicated sellers and stylists are on standby.”

It’s as if they’ve finished preparing for battle.

In that case, I should also live up to expectations.

Take a taste of unlimited credit cards.

“Oh, customer! Teddy bear coats of this cozy style are in vogue these days. It is so lovely because the customer wears it!”

“You can wear this as a trench or tie it all together to create a jacket feel. Models are amazing, so clothes are bought!”

“This is a Hermes limited edition wristwatch that has just arrived in Korea. It’s for women, but you know that genderless is a trend these days, right? The customer’s wrist is also thin, so it’s perfect!”

“This bag is a new briefcase from Gutti.. Now, if you attach a strap like this… You can use it like a tote bag! There is nothing that doesn’t suit you.”

“It’s a 2022FW formal shirt from FANDY, but it’s a very pretty new product, so many people wear it semi-casual. It will go well with anything you match it with.”

These women… It seems to be sincere.

Aka mannequin strategy. After standing for two hours, he puts on and takes off dozens of clothes and accessories as if he were playing a game.

When I came across a set I liked, the photographer next to me immediately took a picture of me wearing it and put the object in it.

In a long two hours, I chose a total of 18 sets, including one set for a gift.

“·····”

Two female employees who don’t look tired at all.

It can’t go on like this. It’s already on the verge of running out of stamina.

“Kuhm. I think I made enough choices.”

“Oh, already? I haven’t even shown half of it yet…”

“Shall we take a break and then finish watching?”

It’s useless to ask in a voice mixed with aegyo as if it’s regretful. My stamina has already run out.

How the hell do women shop all day?

“It’s getting difficult. I’ll just go.”

“I’m sorry. Then we can help you pay! All purchased products will be delivered to your home.”

“Please do so. It will be difficult to carry.”

“I will help you pay a total of 237,510,000 won!”

Crazy-

I spent over 200 million a day, so why are you so calm?

I was puzzled by the attitude of the girls who accepted the card and paid as if it were so familiar and natural.

I think it’s a little cute to see him smiling brightly and chatting in a voice that doesn’t leave a lingering aftertaste.

I looked at the two happily and took the card and receipt.

As soon as I left the private room, the staff rushed in as if they had waited and bowed their heads and joined their palms together…

I felt as if I had become a gangster on the street.

****

I politely handed the valet card I received to the staff.

She gave me a hospitality smile and led me to where the car was parked.

My car was parked at a knife-like angle with direct access to the ground floor.

“I love you, customer. Did you enjoy shopping?”

I nodded roughly, opened the door, inserted the key, and started the engine.

Vureung-

A vehicle that comes out smoothly with a pleasant starting sound.

Hmm~

I looked outside while humming, and the sun was still in the middle of the day.

Contemplating whether to go home like this, something was regrettable.

I want to spend the day a little hotter with this one…

Flash!

A brilliant idea came to my mind.

“Sinny.”

-How can I help you?

“Call Hyungjun Kim.”

– Requesting a call from Hyungjun Kim.

Hyungjun Kim. You are my only friend who has only one.

“Uh, voice actor. Why did you call me.”

“I am going to your house now.”

“What? Are you crazy?”

“You have nothing to do anyway.”

“Hey you crazy bird….”

Doo-Doo….

I said everything, so I hung up the phone.

It is more fun to spend money together than to spend it alone.

The representative culture that comes to mind first when it comes to money.

Today’s finale is a staycation.
