Chapter 352: A Masterful Disguise
After spending half an hour preparing themselves for their date. Alex and Mimi stood together alone within the master bedroom of the penthouse in which the young idol and her manager lived in together.
Ji-An was forced to wait outside as Alex tried his best to apply his [Master of Disguise] ability to Mimi in an attempt to shield her from the public’s ever vigilant gaze. And because of this, he placed his palm on the girl’s forehead, while issuing a command to her in a whispered and playful tone.
“Alright, Mimi, I want you to close your eyes and count to three. After which you can open your eyes and look in the mirror where you will find yourself well and truly disguised. Alright?”
Mimi had an excited smile on her adorable face, while she nodded her head thrice in an emphatic manner. All while confirming verbally that she would do exactly as Alex had requested.
“Of course! Here I go!”
The girl then closed her eyes and counted to three like she had been told to do. Meanwhile, Alex had activated his skill, his head glowing crimson as it enveloped the young woman’s forehead. And after thinking about what he wanted her to look like, Alex let his grip go.
Like clockwork, three seconds had passed, where Mimi immediately opened her eyes and looked in the mirror at her new and temporary appearance. The girl’s jaw dropped in disbelief when she saw her own reflection.
Alex had not done much to disguise the girl’s natural beauty. All he really did was change her hair color to black, and her eyes to match. He also slightly moved the shape of her cheekbones, so it wasn’t so obvious who she was.
“I don’t believe it… I really look different…”
Alex chuckled when he saw how shocked the girl was at her own appearance. She was still as cute as ever, and her signature twin tails had not changed in the slightest. Because of this there was an endearing tone in the man’s voice as he asked the young woman what she thought about her disguise.
“Well? What do you think? Looks cute, am I right?”
It took a few moments for Mimi to adjust her thoughts back to reality, and when she did, she was quick to cling to Alex, hugging him tightly while pressing her head against his broad chest. She thanked the man relentlessly for giving her the ability to go out in public without harassment.
Let alone go on a date together with the man she loved without having to worry about the consequences such a thing would have on her professional life.
“Thank you so much Alex! You’re the absolute best!”
Seeing how the girl was satisfied with her current appearance, Alex pried her off of him, before grabbing her hand and helping her to her feet. Where he then said the words that she wanted to hear from him ever since he announced that they would be going on a date alone together at breakfast.
“So how about it? Are you ready to go to the Zoo with me?”
Mimi quickly clamped her dainty hand around Alex’s and allowed herself to be dragged by his side, while nodding her head with an excited smile on her face.
“Absolutely!”
—
Ji-An had been listening to Alex and Mimi with her door pressed against the doors to the master bedroom the entire time. And when the doors suddenly opened to reveal Alex and Mimi, she was astonished by what she saw.
Alex had really done it. He had changed Mimi’s appearance just enough that nobody would recognize her on the street. And even if they suspected her identity, they would not be able to confirm it.
She honestly could not believe her eyes. But Alex simply shot the woman a wink, before dragging his date out of the penthouse and towards the car which he had prepared earlier in the morning for their date together.
It was an ordinary vehicle, one that was not nearly as flashy as the many luxury cars that he possessed. After all, the point of this date was to not draw attention to themselves. And because of this, Mimi was dressed in a way that wouldn’t immediately attract others. Albeit she did live up to the “moe” archetype.
Alex himself wasn’t dressed in any designer brands, and had made his own appearance look rather ordinary. And while they made sure to try to stand out as little as possible. There would always be attention gathered towards the two of them, as they were both exceptionally attractive individuals. Even in their “disguised” states.
Still, it would not be enough to attract headlines or photographs. And because of this, Alex and Mimi would be able to thoroughly enjoy their time alone together. All the while, Ji-An was fuming with jealousy.
Sure she would also have a date alone with Alex tomorrow. But she couldn’t help but feel slightly upset that she wasn’t taken out first. And that Mimi was instead. However, her jealousy was just a passing emotion. After all, with her maxed out affection for Alex, she would never really be resentful towards him or any of his other women.
Especially Mimi, who Ji-An thought of as if the girl was her own little sister. And it was with this in mind that she ultimately decided to stay home, and be a homebody, while cheering Mimi on for her date with Alex.
All the while letting all the other women in the group chat know what was happening. And when the others heard that Alex was back in South Korea, they began to hope that the man would visit them each individually, to spend some proper alone time with them as well.
A hope that Alex would make sure to make reality. Despite his incredibly busy schedule.
