Just as the exterior had suggested, the shop is filled with pretty things. Everything here is so pretty. Just looking at them makes me feel so excited.

Meanwhile, Jiyong hyung picks up a silver photo frame with rhinestones on it and grimaces.

"You like... this kind of stuff?"

"N-ne, hyung..."

Then there was silence. He probably hates it.

"What do you even like about it?"

"Umm... How it's silver and sparkly? It's so pretty, just looking at it makes me feel more positive, I guess..."

"Hmm... I guess it's like my clothes."

"Oh, that's true."

"In that case... You'll probably like this."

Jiyong hyung picked up a lamp off a shelf that's covered in silver and white leaves.

"Oh, it's so pretty! That's a great find." I said complimenting him.

"It was on that shelf."

"Really? I didn't even notice it."

"Do you have bad eyes or something?"

As I walk aimlessly around the shop, I stumble upon a fluffy, panda indoor sleepers with pretty bamboo leaves.

"Isn't this pair better than that one?" Jiyong hyung said as he held out a different pair of panda slippers to me.

"Oh, you're right! These one are even fluffier. You're amazing, hyung. How come you know my tastes so well?"

"Is that something you say to a professional designer? You like things that are shining, shimmering, splendid; things that make you feel more positive when you look at them, right? Part of my job is finding the things that match the image of what the customers want."

"I-I see..."

Wow, all I did was compliment and ask him and I get a full on lecture about him being a designer. Is he my mom or something? He was not even finished yet.

"First of all, look at the design. This is a panda, but with a strong, bleak, purple tone. This one has more of a yellow tone that that brightens up the white part of the panda, right?"

"You're right."

"Next is the decoration: the fake leaves and the lace are similar but... The lace on this one is too coarse. The size of the leaves throws off the balance of the shoe, In other words, it's sloppily made."

"A-ah..."

"Seriously... Just tell me whatever it is that you want."

"Huh?"

"I'll select everything for you. I'll make both your wardrobe and your room to be really beautiful and to your tastes."

Saying this, Jiyong hyung begins to search the store in good spirits. Then, one after another, he begins to place miscellaneous, good-looking items into our shopping basket.

~

"... I guess that's about it." Jiyong hyung said, giving me a smile with a look of satisfaction.

Living up to his reputation as a designer popular amongst teenagers and young adults, the items he chooses are shining, shimmering, and all to my taste.

"Now all that's left is you're bed. Which one would you like? Go on and choose."

In the store, there are a variety of beds lined up that are worthy enough for a prince to sleep on. Amongst them, I took a liking to the black, iron bed.
