Chapter 1144 – [Pretty Flowers Attract Bugs]
Led by a chauffeur, Xion and Eden rode in a high-end foreign car of a famous brand, which was loaded with special options and was several times more expensive than the market price, and headed to the beauty salon they had reserved.
They go to a place called Cheongdam Beauty Salon, where various celebrities make reservations and visit. It was a shop with excellent skills and reputation.
“Hey, I don’t want to cut my hair.”
“What are you doing now? I’ll go get my hair cut and buy you pork cutlets for lunch.”
“Wow!!!! Pork cutlet!!!!!”
If you look at the child whining about not wanting to do it or her mother who soothes it, it is a picture of an ordinary family, but in the eyes of others, the situation was reversed. The person who looked like the mother was the child, and the person who looked like her child was the mother.
Either way, the vehicle arrived at its destination. Even in Cheongdam-dong, where the land price is expensive, the beauty salon is located in a pretty good location. It wasn’t that Shion was deliberately trying to come in a luxury foreign car.
“Wow, a lot of expensive cars”
“It’s because the people around here have a high standard, so it’s because they have their own. Well, I wonder how many real chaebols there are among them.”
“What’s the difference between having a lot of money and being a chaebol?”
“The depth and history are different. Even the wealthy are not considered chaebols just because they have a lot of money. Surprisingly, the people there are strict about such things.”
The reason Shion can say such a thing is that the Hanon family itself is a family that was created by holding each other from the time of the gold rush. The tradition and history of the family built up over a hundred years is a strength in itself.
That’s why chaebol families inherit their own blood, not the blood of the rich. It’s not called their own league for nothing.
“My daughter is her mother’s daughter, so there must be some idiots out there who see money and power and push them. Don’t fall for their farts.”
“You mean pass it in moderation?”
“That’s the best way. If you humiliate them, they will become hostile and make enemies. Making enemies is only when the opponent has completely crossed the line and decided that they should be killed.”
“If you cross the line, you’ll be fine.”
“Don’t forget to make justification and evidence”
“I learned that from my dad!!!!”
Eden was receiving gifted education in various ways from her parents.
The idea as a transcendent from the worst, and the reality of capitalist society and the physiology of those who have it from Zion. It gradually grows while absorbing such things like a sponge.
Before long, they go up from the parking lot to the hair salon on the third floor. The 1st floor is a cafe and the 2nd and 3rd floors are used as a hair salon, but the 3rd floor was more reserved for VIPs.
“Uh, welcome. Have you made a reservation?”
The head of the hair salon, who had seen numerous celebrities and handsome men and women, stuttered and asked the two if they would make a reservation. It would be surprising if only one came, but it was shocking if two came together.
“I would have made a reservation for two under the name Shion.”
“Yes? Ah, yes. I’ll check it. Yes, customer Shion confirmed it. I’ll guide you inside.”
It is questionable why the answer came from the side that looked like a child rather than the side that looked like an adult, but the director faithfully guided the two to their seats.
I was embarrassed by the appearance of the first two people, but the director is a professional. He quickly calmed down and spoke in a friendly manner.
“Your mother and your daughter are really identical.
“Yes? I’m your daughter?”
“Yes? Yes?!”
“I am the mother”
“Yeah?!”
“It’s my mother!!!”
“?!?!?!?!”
20 years of hair salon experience was useless now. If anyone sees Eden and Shion, they will think of Shion as her daughter, not her mother.
Before long, she puts her luggage in the seat she reserved and takes off her outerwear. Today, both Eden and Shion were going to get their hair done, but Eden was the main one.
“My child will debut in the presence of relatives he has never seen before.
“Umm, your daughter’s appearance is so pretty, so it wouldn’t suit her to dress up excessively. First of all, after trimming her hair neatly… Do you do makeup separately?”
“Debut will happen in a few days, but I’ll give it a try this time.”
“My hair salon career might turn out to be a masterpiece for the rest of my life. I’ll do my best. Teacher Yeoju!!! Teacher Kanghee!!!”
“Yes, Director!!!”
The director called other hairdressers. They were called in while doing other things, but as soon as she arrived, she seemed to know the reason why she called after seeing Eden’s appearance.
“Sir Yeo Joo, please trim this student’s hair. Teacher Kang Hee takes care of her mother”
“Yes…… Yes? Mother?”
“Yes, this is your mother, so don’t make a mistake.”
“?!?!”
People seemed to be more shocked that Eden was the mother next to her than that the worst was the wife. Shion is new, but if you think about it, she has a slightly pouting expression at the secretly unpleasant sensation.
However, that expression was the worst, but it was one that only Eden could tell. In response, Eden teases Shion by her side.
“Are you mad at her mother for seeing her as a child?”
“It was expected”
“It will be more so when I am older.”
“I’ve talked about that often with your dad since the old days.”
Eden has never had her hair cut at a professional shop like this. She’s a girl, and I wonder if she’s indifferent, but she’s like Eden, a kid who doesn’t like having her hair cut.
Besides, she wasn’t completely devoid of manual dexterity like Shion or Worst, and even if she cut it in moderation at her house, she seemed to have no problem, so she was even more like that. She came here because now she needs to be decorated with a more expert touch.
“The student is very pretty. Are you from abroad?”
“No, my mother is an American, but she was naturalized. I am a Korean born in Korea.”
“Somehow, he speaks Korean well. But I wonder if silver hair like this comes out naturally. Are you a person with this ability?”
“I am, but I am not a mother. She probably has this ability among her ancestors, so she might be like that.”
It is a beauty salon unique to women. Even if it was a luxurious shop, no, it was all the more so because it was a luxurious shop. Talking to them, building friendships and creating regular customers like that.
And as her staff remembers such customers, the quality of service goes up. It’s not a shop that you can’t come to without making a reservation.
Eventually, Eden’s hair was trimmed for about an hour. Even though her hairstyle itself didn’t change much, the hour passed quickly because her details were meticulously worked on.
“How are you?”
“Oh, I like it”
“There are even more like that because the student is so pretty. She has a pretty appearance and has beautiful silver hair, and her hair is in the best condition I’ve ever seen. Is there anything else you use?”
“No, I just use what my mom uses at home.”
“Well……..”
While talking with Eden, the hairdresser felt like he was dealing with a male customer rather than a female customer. It’s not an illusion because Eden’s personality was part of that too.
It may be because he was born between the worst, whose male and female gender identity was ambiguous as a reincarnated reincarnation, and Shion, who was reincarnated from a man to a woman. Or is Eden just your nature?
It didn’t take much to cut her hair for the time it took her, but the results were significant. Eden, who was still pretty, had her hair trimmed and tidied up, and she became a much more well-groomed beauty.
She is so beautiful that it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a goddess descended if she sits somewhere with an atmosphere. Thanks to her, the hairdresser who was managing her other customers passed by and watched from behind her.
“Student, are you a celebrity or something?”
“Yes? No, but I’m not really interested.”
“Ah, it’s such a waste. If you have a student appearance, you should be able to overturn the entire industry whether you’re a model or an entertainer. There are a lot of celebrities who go to our store, so I have connections. Why don’t you tell them and try entering the entertainment industry?”
“I think it would be better to study hard while going to school now. I have to go to middle school and high school for 6 years, but if I go into the entertainment industry from now on, it might be difficult to graduate.”
“………Yes?”
“I’m still in elementary school”
She hears a reaction of astonishment, just as she did when Zion said she was her mother. They say that she is a student, so I thought she was quite an adult when I saw her as a high school student, but the fact that she is still an elementary school student, let alone a high school student, is very surprising.
Thanks to this, experts with numerous experiences appear to be colorlessly puzzled. It’s a story that people who don’t know honestly can’t help but be beaten.
“If you’re in elementary school, it’s still time to study. Even if you want to go into the entertainment industry, you’re too young.”
“But even if I become a high school student later… Uh, I don’t know if I should look good in advance. It would be difficult to meet people if I became famous.”
Now that the hair is done, the face is next. Eden’s skin is clean with no blemishes in her pores and maintains elasticity like a baby’s skin, so she doesn’t need much makeup, but if she did, it was clear that her beauty would stand out even more.
In response, several hairdressers in the hair salon gather at Eden’s seat and give advice. Eden doesn’t like such a fuss, such as saying that this color is good for cosmetics and that this color will suit Eden, but it didn’t take long to decorate it because many people rushed at it.
The skin lotion applied to make the skin look more shiny and firm, the light pink lip gloss applied to contrast with the white skin, but the pink lip gloss that clearly stands out, and the slightly tidied eyelashes.
Eden’s appearance itself was so perfect that her cosmetics were only at the level of help. However, it is not meaningless that Eden’s fully armed appearance is such that even the hairdressers who made it themselves cannot hide their admiration.
“How come, the student is so pretty. How can he really be this pretty?”
“I want to dress up in real clothes as well.”
Shion, who has the same appearance as her, was next to her, but she was less interested in it due to relative reasons. It is only natural that Eden, who has the appearance of an adult and can express emotions, is more compatible than Shion, who is expressionless and has the appearance of a girl.
It would be a situation where ordinary people would be jealous, but for Shion, his opponent was his daughter, not anyone else.
If she becomes a mother and her daughter is more compatible than she is, shouldn’t she rather be happy and like it? On the contrary, she thinks that deep down she is very fortunate that she did not inherit her own poor figure or Hanon’s inability to express emotions.
In a situation where it was almost finished, the director came again. And seeing Eden’s finished outfit, he reacted the same way as other hairdressers.
“Oh… That’s really good. Mother, we’re doing all the services today for free, so can I use your daughter’s picture to promote our store?”
“I’ll give you 100 times the cost today, so take good care of the staff”
It’s a mistake you wouldn’t normally make. With 20 years of experience in running a hair salon, he prides himself on having eyes to see people, but he was fascinated by Eden’s beauty and was greedy.
The director’s behavior was also understandable, but Eden’s adorned appearance was such that even a stranger would be attracted to her. If you take that picture and advertise it, the number of customers will increase many times over.
However, from the way her counterpart, Shion, responds, you can see that money isn’t the most important person. Even simple cuts are accepted in units of 100,000, but if you call 100 times in such a place, it means that you are a person of wealth who can just sprinkle tens of thousands of won even if you can’t do it.
Upon realizing that, the director immediately handed over an apology. Her quick change of attitude was also the secret to her 20 years of business in Cheongdam-dong, like Yongdamho.
“I’m so sorry, mother. I made a mistake. Of course, I’m going to crack down on the staff, and as an apology, I’ll make today’s service free of charge.”
“It is natural to receive a fair price for labor.
“In that case, I’ll give you a 30 percent discount.”
“Well, that’s good enough”
If I had asked for a 50% discount, Shion would have felt burdened and rejected it, but since it was an ambiguous level of 30%, Shion accepted it. Of course, there is a difference between half and one third.
The director, who was not a big fan of the area for nothing, finished the job well. I hoped that such a brief happening would pass, but the problem exploded.
“Uh, Eunseong. We’re all here. It’s right in front of us. No, there are too many people in the cafe, so we’ll have to wait a little longer…”
A man walks by holding a take-out coffee, probably because he bought it from a cafe on the first floor. But in the meantime, he discovered Eden was the beginning of the incident.
A look that attracts men’s attention. She has just had her hair cut and full makeup. If he’s the only one who didn’t pack his clothes, he’s wearing decent ones from home, so it’s not that lacking.
The reaction of the man who witnessed such a fully armed Eden in a defenseless state was shocking enough to cause a heart attack in an instant.
“100 million?!?!?”
The man who met Eden’s gaze groaned as if he had been beaten and shrunk his body. If beauty is to be weighed, Eden is like a supernova explosion.
The man stared blankly at Eden for a while. Even as the hot coffee cools down, he continues to look at Eden, unaware of the passage of time.
Eden didn’t really care because there weren’t a lot of people like that on a regular basis. You have to pluck out your eyes to bruise even the sight, but even the worst thing is that you don’t really touch it just by looking at it.
It would have been nice if it had ended there, but the man crossed the line.
“Ah”
By the time the hot coffee has cooled to a warm level. The man barely came to his senses. And he hurriedly switches his cell phone to shooting mode and takes a picture of Eden.
With that, the man slightly crossed his line. Obviously, there is such a thing as portrait rights, but at the point of taking someone else’s picture without permission, you trampled on the paradise beyond the line.
Click! I took a picture, but the man who confirmed that he had taken it frowned. He said the picture came out blurry and wasn’t taken properly.
In fact, it was because of the jamming radio wave that Zion spreads, which has the effect of preventing the filming equipment that takes pictures of Shion and Eden as subjects from taking pictures properly. Of course, if you don’t know, you’ll think it’s just a mistake.
And the man didn’t give up and pushed his cell phone camera again.
“Why are you taking pictures of people without permission?”
At that point, Shion frowned slightly and fired at him. Only then did the man notice the presence of Shion next to him.
I wonder how can I ignore Zion, but it’s only because Eden is so beautiful. Just as Betelgeuse, which is hundreds of times larger than the sun, is different from the sun even if it is the same star.
“Ah, are you an older sister or a relative with a different age? That’s not the case, but the uncle is a person in the entertainment industry…”
“I am the mother of that child.”
“………Yes?”
Shion’s expressionless face is normal, but if there is a time when she shows a little bit of emotion, it’s when she’s really upset. She frowned slightly, but in reality it meant that it was no different than glaring at the other person out of hurt feelings.
But those who don’t know don’t know. The man thought that Shion was slightly uncomfortable and tried to coax him, but stepped on another challenge.
“Mister, that person is my mother. Also, can you take pictures without my permission? What about my portrait rights?”
“Ah, um… It’s not like that, I’m a celebrity manager. Aren’t you interested in the entertainment industry? If you’re a lady, you can really succeed. I guarantee you!!”
“My daughter’s success is guaranteed by her looks, not you. You have no right, no reason, no value to guarantee that.”
“No, that’s what I mean…”
From Shion’s point of view, she tried to take pictures of Eden at will, and even touched her complex of looking like a child, which made her even more angry.
The reason I don’t immediately notice is because there are many eyes to see. Even if it goes beyond the limit, it will lose its meaning.
“I’m not interested in being a celebrity. So please don’t recommend me.”
“No, it’s because I feel so sorry for you. If you enter the entertainment industry, you can also aim for a world-class star!!!”
“Because I’m not interested”
“Don’t do that…Ah!!! Do you know Shin Eun-seong? I’m the celebrity I’m in charge of, so would you like to meet me? You know the talented idol singer Shin Eun-seong, who is popular among women these days, right?”
Since she has 20 years of experience as the head of a hair salon, she was greedy for Eden’s beauty, but she knew how to control herself.
However, if he does not have that level of experience, he is enchanted by the light in front of her eyes and becomes greedy, not realizing that it will drive him to ruin.
Like Icarus flying towards the sun.
An opponent who keeps clinging to you even though you explicitly cut him off is the law to get rid of at any cost. Shion fired at him with her cold voice.
“Go there. If you do any more, I’ll call the police.”
“Mother, really, your daughter can thrive in the entertainment industry. So please change your mind just a bit…”
“With that, your fate is decided.”
You have crossed the line and trampled on the two paradises of Zion and Eden, so you have to pay the price.
All that was left was the fall of the heavenly punishment.
