Peninsula 2017: Is the system living in the past?

If it was a few days ago, then yes.

The implication is—not now!

The reason is written all over their faces.

Not to mention the differential treatment.

How could you make such a request at a time like this?

How immoral!

Park Jiyeon crossed her arms and turned her head to the side, making her stance clear through her actions.

Now it was Jiang Xingchen's turn to have a headache.

I made a slip of the tongue.

They recreated the scene of the underworld that took place in the underground parking lot of Dongdaemun Design Plaza the night before last.

In front of Park Hyo-min, he exposed the truth about her underlying anxiety.

Now, in front of one woman, he has made a huge change because of another woman.

Even if the two don't have any special relationship.

But it's not something you can just brush off with a few words.

Well...

He tried to move around to get into Park Jiyeon's line of sight, but before he could stand still, she changed direction.

I tried it two or three times, and it was the same every time.

It's obvious he's just being temperamental.

Seeing this, he could only stop what he was doing for the time being, and instead walked to his desk and turned the computer screen around.

Just as he was about to tell her what he had been busy with yesterday and what he was busy with now.

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

The computer was turned back.

Slip of the tongue is slip of the tongue.

That was, after all, a mistake caused by a momentary lapse of judgment.

But if Park Jiyeon saw this now, it would only add fuel to the fire.

That was the reason he was going to use to convince her when they met again the night before, after Park Hyomin had teased (mocking) him.

A proposal created in the capacity of "Visual Director of EPOCH".

A plan to make Park Hyo-min shine even brighter at this fashion week.

If this were placed in front of Park Jiyeon, it would surely set this powder keg on fire!

This won't work!

"Are you trying to show me something?"

Unfortunately, although Park Jiyeon was angry and didn't want to look at him, she noticed his little gesture of reaching out and then withdrawing his hand.

They immediately noticed something amiss.

With her straightforward personality, she tilted her head and asked with amusement.

"It's nothing much, just something I made in the last couple of days."

Jiang Xingchen tried to cover it up.

But he forgot that people have a rebellious streak.

The more you forbid someone from doing something, the more they want to do it.

Especially now.

Park Jiyeon, who had only intended to tease him, became much more interested when he denied it.

He immediately stood up, strode his long legs straight to the desk, squeezed next to Jiang Xingchen, and looked at the screen.

The first thing you see is a PowerPoint presentation interface.

The cover design is simple.

Three colors, red, green, and yellow, in different shapes, are used to highlight a title.

2018-202X: Y2K Retro-Futurism and the Renaissance of Neo-Retro

"Is this what you prepared for Hyomin unnie?"

Not exactly a fashionista, but not a complete novice either, so Park Jiyeon recognized what it was at a glance.

It's related to fashion.

It is also related to Park Hyo-min.

It's probably because I went to see my sister the day before yesterday and was criticized for dressing like a homeless person, which aroused my competitive spirit.

"She didn't say I was a homeless person, don't label me like that!"

Jiang Xingchen smelled the delicate fragrance that was so close at hand, and moved half a step to the side without making a sound, before she retorted indignantly.

"Um...does it really have to be these next couple of days for Unnie to see this?"

Ignoring his explanation, Park Jiyeon reached for the mouse on the table.

To be honest, she didn't have Park Hyo-min's sensitivity to fashion, but after reading a few pages and getting a general idea of ​​what it was about, she guessed Jiang Xingchen's purpose in making it.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's in preparation for the fashion week these two days.

Perhaps they've even prepared outfits to match the content and style of the PPT.

"She'll definitely be the center of attention at Fashion Week!"

At this moment, Jiang Xingchen stopped hiding her intentions and gave her conclusion directly.

The confident tone made Park Jiyeon glance at him slightly.

A feeling of sadness welled up inside me for no apparent reason.

"whispering sound."

When they came to find me, all they brought was a bottle of banana milk.

"Hyomin unnie, you've taken great care in styling your hair and preparing all these things."

"People, no matter what they do, shouldn't be too proactive!"

His slender fingers continued to slide along the mouse wheel as he refocused his attention on Park Jiyeon on the screen, muttering to himself.

If resentment could materialize, it would have filled the office by now.

Then, before Jiang Xingchen could speak, she continued.

"You can see Hyomin unnie if you want."

"But you have to agree to a few conditions."

...

...

Gangnam District, Sinsa-dong, Garosu-gil.

In a rather unassuming independent brand studio.

Designer Cho Eun-kyung glanced at the black and white polka dot dress in front of her, then turned her head to look at Park Hyo-min standing next to her.

Due to her contract with MBK Entertainment, Park Hyo-min has not had any clothing endorsements this year.

Therefore, the outfits for this Seoul Fashion Week were decided upon by the two of them.

But now I'm looking at this simple polka dot dress.

Zhao Enjing couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

You can't just change your style halfway through fashion week, can you?

In the past two days, there haven't been any negative comments online about Park Hyo-min's outfits at Fashion Week.

On the contrary, it's good as always.

"After watching the first day of the show, I heard someone's opinion of me on the spot, so I wanted to give it a try."

"It was already arranged yesterday, otherwise I would have come yesterday!"

Park Hyomin also turned her head to look at her and smiled as she offered an explanation.

That night, after returning home to Nonhyeon-dong, she didn't turn on the lights and gazed at the night view of the Han River from the balcony for a long time.

What Jiang Xingchen had said to her kept replaying in her mind.

The online reviews of her from a couple of days ago were indeed positive, but what lies hidden beneath that glamorous facade is something only she herself knows.

So, since I had no other plans today, I came to see this designer with whom I have a close relationship and a cooperative relationship.

"That's how inspiration comes about, so why don't you share your thoughts first?"

"My thoughts..."

After hearing what Zhao Enjing said, Park Hyomin did not refuse and nodded slightly, preparing to speak.

But then, her thoughts were interrupted by the phone on the table.

Looking down, she saw that it was Park Jiyeon calling, whom she hadn't heard from in several days. She smiled apologetically at Zhao Enjing before answering the phone.

"Unnie, where are you right now? I have something important to tell you!"

"Important matter?"

The slightly hurried voice coming from the receiver startled Park Hyomin for a moment: "I'm with Eunkyung unnie."

"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there!"

"Oh, so on your way..."

Upon hearing that she was coming, Park Hyo-min began to remind her to drive carefully on the road, but before she could finish speaking, the receiver went dead.

This prompted her to move her phone closer to her eyes and look at it for several seconds.

"Is Jiyeon coming over?"

During a break in their phone call, Zhao Enjing poured her a glass of water and handed it to her while asking her a question with a smile.

"Thank you, unnie."

Park Hyomin took the water glass, then shook her head helplessly, "That girl said she had something important to tell me, and then she hung up the phone in a hurry."

"Ha...that's her style after all."

After hearing this, Zhao Enjing chuckled twice.

They were all acquaintances, so they knew what kind of personality Park Jiyeon had.

Then, she looked at the polka dot dress on the table and suggested that they organize their thoughts first and discuss how to design a suitable and eye-catching outfit after Park Jiyeon finished speaking.

Park Hyo-min naturally had no objection to this, so she took her teacup and went to the rest area next door.

I waited for about half an hour.

Then I saw Park Jiyeon push the door open and come in from outside.

Around me...

There was also a man with her.

The two exchanged a glance, and a question arose in their minds almost simultaneously.

[This girl, could it be that she has a boyfriend and wants to introduce him to me?]

But the next second, after Park Hyo-min saw the man's face clearly, she suddenly stood up.

"Oh, it's you!"

"Annyeonghaseyo, Park Hyomin-ssi, it's nice to see you again!"
