"Our very own clothes store!" Iseul beamed feeling as though she had accomplished a ton. "It took many part-time jobs to buy this place.
She scanned the store she would be running with the help of Jihoon and a few employees.
"I can feel this place being popular and famous." Jihoon was making sure everything was decently ordered as he checked the items with the coordinated clothes from the inventory.
"How long til official opening?" Iseul asked Jihoon who handily had a watch.
"One hour." Jihoon replied as he was definitely nervous, but he thought about the long hard hours they had to make their original clothes before they sent them to the factory to be made in bulk.
One month ago...
Jihoon sat on his chair, the room was dimly lit. He tried so hard to think of a suitable design that would gain customers. He looked at the clock.
9:55 PM.
Come one Park Jihoon, you have to think of something. Suddenly, he could hear the front door opening due to the ringing of the bells.
"Guess who's here." Iseul came with a bag of pastries and drinks. "Are you working on a new design?" The girl peered behind Jihoon to see a plain dress.
"Well maybe I can help." Iseul smiled pulling up a chair next to her boyfriend. "But before that, you should eat. I have a feeling you've starved yourself for a while." She opened the bag to get out the cream puffs.
"You're my battery, you always help me recharge." Jihoon was thankful to always have Iseul around when he was in a slump.
"That's cringey but since we're in the moment I'll let you say it." She chuckled.
"My braincells are dead and they're making me a cheesy person, oh no." Jihoon placed his hand on his forehead as though in defeat.
"Here, look at me." Iseul turned Jihoon's chair so they could face each other. "I know you have the skills, so just take a break for now." Iseul placed the palm of her hand gently on his cheek.
"You're right." Jihoon sighed.
"Plus we have a month or so. Don't stress for the sake of me." She brought the cream puff close to Jihoon's face.
"Oh wait!" He stood up quickly before going to the back of the closet area.
"What?" Iseul watched Jihoon come from the back with a lovely pink clothing.
"Is that the design that you were talking about two weeks ago?" Iseul took the garment from his hands gently as her hands felt through the material. "Good quality too."
"Try it on. I made it just for my muse." He beamed with pride.
"Are you sure?" She was reluctant but Jihoon nodded giving her permission.
"If you say so." Iseul took the clothes and went to the changing room. Soon Iseul came out with a beautiful dress great for autumn wear.

"So what do you think." Jihoon wanted to get her honest opinion before he could decide to show it to the public.
"It's beautiful! I'm surprised it fits."
"I made it just for you." Jihoon slightly blushed. "My muse." The last two words came out as a whisper.

"See I knew you could find an idea." Iseul smiled as she watched the customers eagerly comment about the clothing.
"I had amazing help." Jihoon brought is arms around Iseul's. "Couldn't have done it without you."
"Could say the same to you." She rested her head on his shoulder.
