Chapter 35: He Says He’ll Buy It for Me
Standing in front of the gold-plated revolving doors, Ha Giyeon stared blankly at the building.
No wonder the exterior felt familiar—it was the department store Ha Dohoon used to frequent. Before the regression, he’d followed Dohoon here many times...
Why here, of all places?
It wasn’t the villa, thank god, but being dragged somewhere he hadn’t expected left him unsettled. There was no real reason for Choi Mujin to bring him to a department store. It wasn’t like he was asking for his opinion on clothes, and anything he bought would be carried out by the staff, so there was no need for a bag boy either.
And sometimes, after they finished shopping, the older boys would just leave him behind—so this place wasn’t exactly one full of good memories.
“What are you doing.”
Giyeon snapped out of it when Mujin nudged his shoulder and started walking ahead. He followed. Whatever it was he wanted, he just needed to hurry up and do it so he could make it to his part-time shift.
They rode the elevator to the top floor. When the doors opened, a personal shopper waiting out front bowed deeply in greeting. It was Mujin’s assigned shopper. Giyeon also bowed in return when the man greeted him as well.
Mujin, unfazed, walked straight past and headed to the personal shopper’s private room.
Inside was a space that looked like an entire luxury boutique transplanted into one room—clothing racks, shoes, accessories, and a table laid out with refreshments.
Seeing it again after so many years was disorienting, and Giyeon unconsciously shrank back, feeling small.
“We’ve prepared the items you requested, along with some new arrivals. If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to ask.”
