Chapter 272 (1/2)

“We need to get them checked anyway, don’t we?”

She wasn’t wrong so they decided to do so. Aram giggled and took Jiyoon to the bathroom while the boys changed in the class. As this was a play set in urban settings, there weren’t any difficulties acquiring the outfits. For the police uniform, there was one their graduates left behind and for the rest, it was fine with casual clothes. The most difficult to prepare was the hostess, but Suyeon took care of that.

Maru also took out a full suit from his bag. It was something that he found while visiting shops that sold carryover products. The owner there sold the suit to him for cheap saying that it was damaged while the previous owner worked in a logistics warehouse.

“That’s decent.”

It was well-repaired. The old lady that told him to tell her his size and told him that he should leave it to her had some great skills.

“I-it does fit, I guess,” Daemyung, who put on the police uniform with difficulty, spoke in front of the mirror.

A jumper with the police mark and black pants. He was also wearing a yellow vest with a walkie-talkie on it. He would perfectly be a policeman with a law enforcement baton.

“Thanks for all the work in drunk driving control,” Maru spoke with a smile.

Behind Daemyung was Dowook wearing a leather jacket. He was the perfect stereotype neighborhood delinquent. He looked like the type of guy that people would offer money to out of fear if they walked by and saw him smoking in a crouching position.

“Be kind to others, Dowook.”

“Don’t bullshit me.”

“Your foul mouth definitely makes you look like a delinquent.”

“Ugh, I should just….”

He would be evaluated well for his delinquent acting as long as he did not get stage frights. Bangjoo tried swaying with his tie still on, but took it off after thinking that it didn’t feel right. Instead, he undid the top two buttons and picked up the empty soju bottle.

“Do I look drunk now?”

Bangjoo’s role was that of a drunkard.

“You can’t be a drunkard with just the outfit alone. You’ll have to do well with your acting.”

“Right? But isn’t this soju bottle good?”

“It’s not like you can bring a soju bottle to a holding cell, but I guess it’s fine since it’s a play.”

Bangjoo nodded back and tightly clenched the soju bottle.”

“It would be perfect if I had a sip of soju before I went on stage, right?”

“I’d rather self-study acting than learn acting from my sister. My sister never lets things go undone. If I ask her to teach me then… urgh, just thinking about it is horrible.”

Bangjoo shook as though he didn’t want to imagine the scenario.

As Maru didn’t have a complete understanding of Joohyun, he just nodded.

“But seonbae, the suit really suits you,” Bangjoo told Maru.

Maru smiled and redid his tie. He wore suits an uncountable number of times in his previous life. If he looked awkward then that would be a problem in itself. He even remembered sleeping in a suit after coming back home from working into the night. He wore it that much so his body remembered how to look good in it.

They saw each other’s outfits and checked whether there were any problems or not. Aram opened the classroom door and entered. She was wearing a vertical striped suit and a white t-shirt. As it was a casual-style stui, she didn’t feel like a company employee. As her role was that of a scammer, she had to look neat and tidy, and the outfit that Suyeon chose for her fit that description perfectly.

“It suits me, doesn’t it?”

“It’s good for sure,” Maru smiled as he spoke.

Aram took out some round glasses from her chest pocket and put it on.

“Don’t I look more intellectual now? Like a proper scammer?”

“Where did you get those?”

“I got them from the instructor’s house. I’ve never seen someone with a dress room before. I didn’t know what to look for the last time I went there, so this time, I had a look at many things. But seriously, clothes filled a room half the size of this classroom.”

Aram raised her thumbs up. At that moment, Jiyoon peeked out from behind Aram. Her body was still hidden behind the door, so her outfit couldn’t be seen.

“And voilà!”

Aram dragged Jiyoon out and put her in front of herself. Maru made an awkward laugh. Jiyoon was wearing a jacket on top of a one-piece dress that was knee-length.

“He-hey!”

Jiyoon immediately hid behind ARam’s back. Maru had a glance at the boys behind him. Dowook and Bangjoo were giggling as though they just discovered something fun while Daemyung didn’t know where to look and his eyes were wandering everywhere.

“It suits her, doesn’t it?”

Aram moved sideways and spoke. Jiyoon was now revealed for everyone to see. Her baby face was blushing and she was pulling down the edge of her skirt with all of her might. Meanwhile, Aram pulled up the skirt that Jiyoon pulled down.

“There’s no sexy beauty if you pull it down.”

“B-but it’s too short.”

“It’s fine. That’s normal these days. Just look at the people on TV.”

Jiyoon gave up after arguing with Aram for a while. She looked down and walked a step forward.

“It’s the outfit that the instructor chose. How is it, it suits her, doesn’t it?”

Aram was more excited than Jiyoon for Jiyoon’s clothing. Maru thought that Aram’s purpose in coming to school was to tease Aram. Maru scanned Jiyoon from top to bottom. For now, she fit the stereotypical ‘hostess’ image. Although she didn’t give off a sexy beauty due to her baby face and her embarrassed actions, her clothes definitely fit the bill.

“D-doesn’t it look strange?”

“You’re acting strange. What do you think, Daemyung?”

Maru passed the question over to Daemyung. Daemyung, who was at the back, was startled.

“Wh-what do I think about what?”

“I mean Jiyoon’s outfit. I’m asking your opinion on it.”

“...It does suit her, but.”

“But?”

“Uhm….”

“Say it. You’ll have to do the fine-tuning yourself.”

“I’m thinking that it’s a little too lewd.”

Daemyung looked away in embarrassment after saying those words. Jiyoon also flinched and stuck right next to Aram.

“Lewd, you say. I guess that works then. I think she’s got the general theme right,” Maru smiled as she spoke.

Her outfit might need some adjusting so that she doesn’t feel uncomfortable in it, but there didn’t seem to be any visible problems for the time being. Though, she looked cute no matter what she was wearing.

“Jiyoon.”
