That following Sat.u.r.day was quiet. After the shirtless incident, the two did not see each other often. There were so many preparations to make and things to do.Before Yoona knew it, Sunday morning came. Coming quicker than a blink of an eye.
Although her anxiety hadn"t acted up before, since the day had finally come, her heart was a nervous wreck.
She was going to see the Moon siblings again.
Shivers ran up her spine. f.u.c.king h.e.l.l. Hopefully today would go smoothly without problems. Her goal was not to freak out upon seeing them and to act as she was unbothered. Everything was set into place and her mind was "ready", however, she might act differently once time came. Who knows if her body would listen to her. For all she knew, she could go in full-on panic attack from just seeing their faces.
But then again, this time the circ.u.mstances were different. Not only was she in a higher position, but Minhyun was going to be by her side.
She knew that he would protect her no matter what. He wouldn"t allow them to lay a finger on her.
Therefore, she swallowed her fears as best as she could and made a mental note that she would be absolutely fine.
"Are you ready to go?"
Yoona let out a smile as she watched Minhyun exit his room. He looked very handsome in his black suit. Accents of red peeked out of his pockets adding flair to the overall picture.
"Yup! Let"s go to Desire"s. I"m so excited to wear the dress and to get the makeup and hair done," she exclaimed.
He patted her head. "Okay, let"s go."
It was still five hours before the actual event so Yoona was slightly confused to why they left in the car early. Nonetheless, she followed Minhyun knowing that he knew this world better than she.
When they entered the beauty shop, Desire was already at the entrance with her attendants, ready for their care.
The atmosphere tensed with Minhyun"s arrival, all the people sucking in their breathes. Nervousness was apparent on the worker" faces; some avoided looking at him because they were scared while others stared due to his gorgeousness. The mixture of reactions made Yoona want to giggle.
Desire bowed slightly before sticking out her hand. "It is a pleasure to see you again."
Minhyun nodded in acknowledgment before returning the action. "Likewise."
Desire shot a glance at Yoona and shook her hand the same way. "My model is finally here I see."
A nervous laugh escaped her lips. "Yes. The day is finally here."
Desire quickly caught on to her heavy heart. "Don"t be nervous. You have my beauty shop to help you. Once we are finished with your look, you will be the most stunning girl in the whole room. I guarantee."
Knowing Desire"s talents and after seeing the serious glint in her eyes, Yoona couldn"t help but smile. Tonight she was going to be transformed. It was guaranteed; both physically and mentally. The Yoona that everyone knew would be gone, replaced with a strong girl who will be able to withstand anything in her path. This was the first step.
A princess with her prince by her side. The enemy didn"t even have a chance to strike with them side-by-side.

Turns out, the five hours were necessary.
So many steps were made during this span.
First, the workers ma.s.saged her to make sure her body and face weren"t bloated. They wanted her starting point to be the best she could be. Through the use of oils and other refined elements, the beautician pressed her thumbs against her temples and began to work around her skin. After they were finished, they let her take a quick shower with their refined shower products.
Yoona was very overwhelmed by the complexity. She didn"t know that the first step would be this.
Secondly, her body was waxed to the core. Originally, Yoona didn"t have much body hair to begin with, however, all parts that the workers deemed should be completely free of any frizz was ripped off. Her sensitive skin became agitated from the intensity but luckily, the area was soothed by a wondrous cream which replaced the heat with a cooling sensation.
Next, her hair was curled with two strands from the front braided and brought to the back. While the hairstyling was taking place, the nail artists painted her nails as well with a dark blue, matching the dress that she was going to wear. On her fourth fingers, they added a bit of sparkles to add something extra to the overall look.
Makeup was another subject all together.
Despite the aim of being a natural look, a ton of products were placed on her skin. Yoona didn"t even recognize half of them. Yet even with the amount of product on her face, when she looked in the mirror, nothing looked cakey and she could felt very beautiful. The sparkly eyeshadow that they placed on her eyelids and aegyo-sal accentuated her femininity while the contour depthen her facial structure.
Of course, after all this was the outfit change.
By the end of hours upon hours of work, Yoona quickly became exhausted.

"Sir, would you like some tea?"
Minhyun didn"t look up and continued to type on the laptop on his lap. Since he only needed doing his skin routine, ma.s.sage, and hair; the time spent on him was less than Yoona. Therefore, he patiently waited in the waiting area with his work to keep him company.
"Plain Green Tea."
The young worker bit her lip and bowed slightly. "Yes, sir."
When she came back, she placed a teapot and a cup in front of him. Unnoticeably, the b.u.t.tons on her shirt were released compared to when she first talked to him.
She carefully poured the tea into the cup.
Minhyun lifted it up and a took a quick sip. Since it was a normal drink, he didn"t really think much of the taste. He just continued to focus on the work.
"Chae Minhyun sir?"
Did she not see that he was working? How could she not read the mood? He looked up with an annoyed expression to meet the round eyes of a pretty girl. Her cheeks were tinted pink and there was an innocent smile on her face.
"What do you want."
She gulped. The intensity of his eyes making her shiver. "I-I was wondering if you needed anything else. We have snacks and other drinks if you need anything. I will be always here to help you."
"I"m good."
"O-oh okay," She shyly said. There was a pause. "You"re suit looks very nice by the way."
He didn"t bother to answer. He wasn"t here for useless chatter. Such unnecessary talk did not deserve his time.
With his right hand, he swiftly gestured for her to leave.
The girl let out a strained smile before leaving.
Chae Minhyun. The man who was known for being a brutal devil in the business world was seen being normal with a girl. All the workers and the customers were shocked to see the famous heir to have someone by his side. Therefore the worker, seeing that his guard was down, thought that she should try to take a shot at stirring his interest.
However, just like everyone expected, she was shut down. Minhyun was not the type to get swayed by such tactics.
Not any person could be by Minhyun"s side. This was a well-known rule known amongst the rich society.
The curiosity in their minds grew as they questioned Yoona"s ident.i.ty. Who could she possibly be to be worth his time?
