Even though I'm a science student, I can still speak a decent amount of English, as it's expected at university.
As I mentioned earlier, I can manage well enough.
So, I confidently walked into the store.
The staff greeted me warmly at the entrance.

"Hi, how are you?"

This is a phrase I’ve heard many times before, so I could easily respond.

"Hi."

If someone didn’t know English well, they might mistakenly think you have to answer with “I’m fine, thank you, and you?” when someone says that, but that's not necessary. It’s just a casual greeting, so you can answer however you feel like.
I thought about that and then spoke up again.

"Can I do a broadcast here?"

Since I’ve never lived abroad, my pronunciation wasn’t perfect, but there was nothing I could do about that.
As long as the other person could understand me, that was all that mattered.
After a short moment, the staff replied.

"Yes."

I got the approval.
I thought I might mess up my words, but thankfully, I didn’t.
If I had made a mistake, I would’ve been roasted by the viewers who were watching me right now.
Relieved, I called out to my companions waiting outside.

"We got permission, so everyone come in."

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Wow]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: He actually got permission ㄷㄷ]
[The King of English is Dama~~~]
[His English is really good, haha]
[But isn’t the English in London different from American English?]
[강후민입니다: I think they’d understand it anyway.]
[It’s not that different.]

"Oh, you’re not bad?"
"It’s me. Dama."

I wondered if I had learned English for this moment.
I felt a bit proud.
Thinking that, I walked into the store.
The staff member was still smiling and standing at the counter.

"Let’s not do anything weird. I don’t want to make it to the news for doing something stupid."
"Okay."

Back in the day, I wouldn’t have thought about it, but these days, the internet is so developed that if you do something weird, it’ll be all over the news.
Even if it’s not in Korean news, it could easily appear on the London news.
By the way…

"So, pick out some clothes for me. I’ll try on whatever you choose."

I exchanged 500,000 won when I came to London, so I’m ready to spend that much.
That’s why I felt confident now.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: If you put him in something weird]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: It’d be fun, haha]
[Please, reverse bunny suit, please.]
[🚶‍♂️ Temporarily Suspended.]
[Isn’t mesh not allowed? That’d be the best.]
[🚶‍♂️ Temporarily Suspended.]
[강후민입니다: Keep the chat decent, you crazy idiots.]
[This guy saying that is so ridiculous haha.]
[Let’s just put him in jeans and a shirt.]
[Isn’t it cold in London right now?]

After hearing that, Sarok stared at me for a moment and said—
"Okay, I’ll pick something out for you first."

Since Sarok is the oldest person here, she’s the one who speaks informally to everyone else.

‘I don’t get why she mixes formal and informal speech with me, though.’

It’s fine if she speaks informally to me, but I don’t get why she’s mixing it up.
Maybe something’s bothering her.
I thought about that and nodded.

"Then, I’ll let Sarok-nim pick something for me first."

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Sarok’s fashion sense]
[Kind of looking forward to it.]
[But Sarok dresses well.]
[Honestly, no one here besides Dama can’t dress well haha.]
[강후민입니다: Just wear whatever they give you.]
[But if you like it, who’s buying it?]
[The girls have money, so the girls should buy it, right?]

There were some weird comments in the chat, so I quickly corrected them.

"I’m buying the clothes myself."

I don’t like receiving things from others.
I think there’s no such thing as a free gift, so I prefer not to receive gifts unless I can repay them later.
Thinking that, just as I was about to get the clothes, Sarok came back with some options for me.

She brought a hoodie in a good color and a slightly baggy pair of jeans.
Then, I had a question.

"This seems pretty much the same as what I’m already wearing."

It didn’t look too different from what I was already wearing.
The only difference might be the fit.
I asked that, and Sarok casually responded—

"It’s the little things that matter the most."

She coolly answered and handed me the clothes.

"…I’ll change and be right back."

It didn’t seem like there’d be much of a difference, but it felt a bit subtle, so I went to the changing room to try them on.

[This is hard to mess up, haha.]
[강후민입니다: Just put on simple stuff.]
[강후민입니다: It should be fine.]
[But I also want to style your hair.]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Haha, it’s not like we’re playing a dress-up game.]
[It’s impressive that he can live like this with that physique.]
[You’re good at games, so have a drink.]

The chat was full of comments criticizing me.
I typed a quick response and then changed clothes.

[듀공: We’re all watching, don’t say nonsense.]

After a short while, I came out of the changing room.

"…Wow, this is nice."

Sarok genuinely seemed impressed.
Is it that good?
It didn’t seem like I had done much.

"Do you two think it looks good?"

I asked Mangming and Harin, who were standing next to me.
Both of them nodded repeatedly.
It seemed like they thought it was fine.
They usually criticize me, so this was unusual.
When I checked the chat, the viewers' reactions were also positive.

"Should we try the one Mangming recommended?"

Now, it was time to try on the clothes that the last two recommended.

How long had I been changing clothes?

"…Let’s stop now. I’m tired."

I felt really tired now.
I had never tried on this many clothes in one day.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: You’ve really tried on a lot today haha.]
[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: So, what are you buying?]
[Personally, I like Sarok’s pick.]
[Sarok’s pick is too simple, though.]
[The cardigan look from Mangming was also good.]
[Does Harin’s biker look really suck?]
[Why are they fighting about this instead of Leore? Haha, it’s ridiculous.]

The chat was already in chaos.
I didn’t really understand it.

‘What’s so great about dressing up a guy?’

It wasn’t even that interesting.
I opened my mouth, feeling a little dumbfounded.

"So, I’m going to pick one and buy it now…"

I was torn.
All the looks seemed to fit me well.
But there was one I liked more than the others.

"I think I’ll buy the one Sarok-nim picked."

It was the one Sarok picked.
The reason was simple.
It was the most comfortable.

"Oh."
Sarok seemed really happy about it.
The other two didn’t seem as thrilled, though.

‘I guess I should do something for them.’

Thinking that, I grabbed the clothes I had chosen and went to the counter while looking around.
Then I saw something.
A necklace.
It wasn’t the highest quality, but since I was in London, it seemed like a nice souvenir to buy for everyone, so I grabbed four necklaces.

"Check, please."
"Okay."

The staff member gave a short response and began to ring up my items.
The total came to 180 pounds.

‘…That’s a bit much.’
But it was okay.
After all, I wouldn’t have gotten this money if it weren’t for these people.
I paid, then quickly changed back into my clothes in the changing room.

[🗡️전지좆능한크툴루: Yeah, this is better.]
[It’s comfortable and looks good.]
[Leather jacket? Leather jacket? Leather jacket?]
[Can’t see the cardigan, damn.]

I handed the necklaces to the three of them.

"Here, a gift. Don’t lose it."

I bought the necklaces for a pretty hefty price, and if they lost them, I’d be really disappointed.
I handed them over, and—

"...I’ll make sure I don’t lose it."
"Of course you won’t."
"Yeah."

An awkward atmosphere formed.
Why was this happening?
I thought about it as I spoke again.

"Well, let’s go somewhere else. We’ve been in the clothing store for too long."

There’s so much more to see in London.
There was no reason to stay in the store.

[Let’s go to the stadium!]

[What about the Totem stadium?]

[Please, chicken shop stadium, please.]

[Old Trafford is the best, you idiots.]

[What’s this guy saying?]

The chat was already a mess again.

‘...This is dizzying.’

It was starting to make me dizzy.
