Chapter 110

"What? Another one?" I furrowed my brows.

"Yep. The last one. I swear." Sunghoon said.

Sunoo nudged my hand with his head. I continued to rub the towel on his head. He had plopped down on the floor in front of me as soon as he was out of the bath. Much to Jake's annoyance, who was by my side and felt robbed of attention.

"Are you recording it again?" I asked in amusement.

"Yep, we are. You know how the company is. Leaving no chance to create content." He smirked.

"Alright. Now seriously, why? You already gave me such a big surprise last night." I said.

"That was nothing. Just wait for tonight." Jungwon chimed in.

"You're telling me that it's possible to have something better than last night?" I asked in wonder.

"Oh darling, you've seen nothing if you're that impressed with a lit-up garden." Jake mused.

I shrugged.

"Yep, so the point is...Sunoo will guide you through things." Jay said.

Sunoo leaned his head back to wink at me. From the corner of the room, Niki and Heeseung couldn't seem to stop the mischievous smiles. Whatever it was, their excitement made me both anticipate and fear the event.

Sunoo stood up. He took the towel from my hand and threw it on Jungwon's face, who scowled at him. He proceeded to take me upstairs to my bedroom and locked the door behind him.

"Sit." He gestured towards the vanity.

I wordlessly followed his instructions. He leaned on the vanity and tilted my face up with a finger. He was scrutinizing something in my face. So it was a good while before his eyes locked onto mine.

He went behind me to adjust the chair and bring it up. When he was done, my face was at his shoulder level. He produced a bag full of makeup products.

"Don't worry, it won't be much." He assured me.

"Okay. But really, why again?" I asked.

"This one is special. Different than your birthday celebration."

He picked up the foundation base. "Let's get started, shall we?"

A few minutes later, he moved aside to let me check my reflection. I put my glasses back on. It felt odd staring at my own reflection. Somehow, my cheekbones looked more prominent, my face more angular and my lips fuller. The special focus was my eyes. The neutral tones made my eyes look more round and big. And if you concentrated enough, you could see a hint of smoke in the otherwise nude palette.

"My eyes...look like Heeseung's..." I said awe.

Sunoo chuckled. "Bambi? Doe? You already had them. Just hidden behind the glasses. But this time they'll be on display."

"They are still behind my glasses." I said.

"For now."

The next 20 minutes that he spent on my hair, I was in awe at how much effort he was putting into it. By the end of it, my jaw was touching the floor. The sides were twisted and braided loosely into a low messy bun. A few curls were left out of it to frame my face. And to top it off, small pearls were lining on one side from the front to the bun. The other side had a small pearl clip embedded in the bun.
