Sunni rolled the lipstick across her lips before smacking them together, satisfied.
"The color is so pretty." She commented, holding up her phone to show it off to the live viewers. Let’s read some comments about my new lip color. What do you think guys? Is it okay? It’s a pretty pinky red, right?”
“She looks so pretty.”
“Ah, thank you,”
“That pink would never look good with my skin tone. Yes, make sure you pick the right colors. That way you can look nice and healthy. This shade is Dear Darling #03 it’s pretty bold and bright. Very summery. I suggest it for all people who have a slight honey glow to their white skin.”
“Yes, I like it a lot, thank you.”
“She is a literal doll. I would kill to be that pretty.” “
Oh, awe, you are too sweet.”
“What are you wearing? Who is it by? Why are you wearing baggy pants and a small white crop top? Don't you like to look like a girl?.”
“Oh, of course, I love to be pretty too. But sometimes, I want to be comfy and wear combat boots and a ballcap. But of course, I like to do girly things. That's why I brought you guys here with me today.” She gestured at the store around her.
“For those just joining. Everyone. I am here at Nature trying on their makeup in-store. I hope we can all work together to pick something nice for me to take home. Today.”
“Is this sponsored, Unni? Because you should really say if it's sponsored.”
“Of course, absolutely, I would tell my Sunshine's if it is sponsored content, but It is not sponsored. We are just here because I like this brand, their makeup is good quality and feels nice on my skin. It doesn’t make me break out after removing it. And the good they do for the environment makes me feel confident and happy when I use their products. Their store is pretty, Don't you think? She spun the camera around to give people a better view.
“Oh, oh, oh, miss, you can't film here.” Someone came running up, and a hand with beautiful long fingers and pretty pink gel nails reached out to her.
Sunni turned around to look at who was speaking to her. Who was the owner of that hand? But found herself staring into the prettiest pair of doe brown eyes with long curly brown lashes and a pretty, petite face. Her makeup was done like a beautiful Korean lady from the Joseon times, and her short hair was tucked behind one of her ears. She wore a cute sundress, and her small feet were in cute white risers.
Her heart skipped a beat.
'Ah, I'm screwed.'
'She is stunning,'
Sunni looked over at her name tag. ‘Hyewon’
'Pretty'
‘How is she so beautiful? I could try my whole life, and I would never be so pretty. So cute. So adorable.’
She blinked at her for a moment. ‘You are live, don’t just stare at her, people are going to comment something nasty about you in a couple of seconds. Do something.’
Sunni reached out her hand. “Hello, I'm YouTuber and influencer Sunni and we are streaming right now. Do you want to say hello to all my sunshines?” Sunni asked, turning the camera on Hyewon.
Hyewon flushed, and her brow furrowed. She put out a hand and covered the camera.
Sunni had the decency to look embarrassed. She cleared her throat. “Sorry, everyone. I forgot to get permission to film here, I’m going to end the live here today, love you all, and remember to stay safe and sunny!”
Sunni grabbed the camera, and clicked the button to end the live then slowly lowered it to place it in her lap carefully.
“I’m sorry. I should have asked you first, sticking a camera in your face was not really kind.”
She glanced back up for a moment, sheepishly. Before looking back down her fingers, which she had folded above the camera. And she was rubbing her thumbs back and forth atop each other while wondering if she was about to get kicked out.
Hyewon stood there for a bit longer. “No, it’s okay. I was just surprised. I don’t really do social media. So I am not really a fan of cameras. So you are an influencer?” She asked me to change the subject.
She nodded slowly and sucked in both her lips, biting the top one as she waited for Hyewon to say anything else. Her teeth were sharp as they scraped across her lips, nervously.
“Again, I am sorry for the mix-up. I should go.” Sunni Started.
A chuckle interrupted her, mid apology, and she looked back up in surprise.
“You have lipstick on your teeth. While we are called Nature, I don’t really recommend eating the products.” She said then reached out to one of the counters with makeup grabbed and then handed a little napkin from the side of the table near the mirror.
Sunni took the napkin, and shivered a little when their fingers touched briefly, but slowly wiped the lipstick from her teeth. ‘Why did I eat it after just putting it on? Seriously, how nervous are you? Is it just because of being caught doing something wrong, twice in a row?’
‘Whoa, what the heck was that? It was like I just slid across a carpet.’ Sunni's brain did loops as her electrons fired on all cylinders
“Do you mind if I redo your lipstick for you?” She asked.
Sunni nodded once, very slowly.
“Could you take off your hat?” she pointed while turning around and beginging to rummage at the table of lipsticks.
Sunmi removed her cap immediately and brushed her long black hair away from her face with her fingers. A little piece got caught on her nose ring, and she was about to pull it away from her face when Hyewon reached out, grabbed her chin slightly, raisied her face so that they were looking eye to eye and then swept the hair away for her.
Sunni sucked in a shallow breath, she tried it in one smooth motion but it was shakey.
‘What, the heck, why was that so sensual? Why did she..? Quit it, heart, what are you even doing right now.’ She thought.
She licked her lips nervously.
Hyewon chuckled. “Stop wetting your lips, I will have to wipe them now.” She commented.
Sunni nodded once. “Sorry.” She said,
Sunni held still as Hyewon took a napkin to her lips and blotted them. Drying them out before she put a light spritz of makeup remover on another little swatch and rubbed it across Sunni’s lips gently three or four times to get all the previous product off.
“I heard you saying before that you like the lip tints by Liphop. Do you want me to put that same shade on again?” She asked.
Sunni affirmed. “mhhm.” Not wanting to move too much.
She grabbed the lip moisturizer and dabbed it on with her finger, rubbing it back and forth slowly with her ring finger on her left hand.
‘She isn’t using the lip wand. Just her fingers., Ahhh, what!’
She grabbed a bit of the tint with her pinky.
“Purse your lips.” She ordered.
Sunni obeyed immediately and Hyewon smirked, her tongue flicking out and wetting her lips so quickly that if Sunni hadn’t been staring there already she would have missed it.
“I am going to use the shade #01 in the middle, then fade it out with the #03 okay?” She asked, but it was a confirmation that she already started to do it before waiting for an answer.
Sunni sat as still as she could, while Hyewon applied the lipstick with her left and held Sunni’s face still with her right.
“So, you are a YouTuber. Do you have a lot of fans?” She asked.
“Mhhm,” Sunni answered with her lips closed.
“Do you like to do vlogs, alone or with friends and a boyfriend?”
Sunni nodded her head no, quickly, her head slipped free of Hyewon’s hand, her chin dropping out. Luckily Hyewon had sensed the movement and pulled her hand away. “I don’t have a boyfriend.” She stated.
“Yah, you are lucky I am good at this. Did you want me to paint your whole head pink and red?”
Sunni nodded her head, no again.
“Why did you move?” She asked, clicking her tongue with admonishment, but she was smirking.
“You were the one who asked me questions. How else am I supposed to answer?” Sunni grumbled under her breath.
Sunni lifted her chin and waited for Hyewon to take it.
Hyewon’s eyes sparkled, and she smiled. She reached back out and grabbed onto Sunni’s waiting chin.
Sunni’s heart sped up, it felt the same as it did during her morning workouts.
‘Ah, gosh, that's breathtaking.’
“Are you hungry? Or have you had lunch already?” Hyewon asked.
‘Why does she keep asking me questions if she wants me to hold still.’
“Not yet. I am hungry” Sunni said, trying her best to keep her mouth as still as possible. But Hyewon had already moved back to allow her to speak.
“Do you want to have lunch with me? I can take my break as soon as we are done.”
Sunni’s tried to control her eyes but her eyes fluttered in surprise.
‘She wants to have lunch with me?’
“Sure.” She said cautiously.
“Awe, don’t sound so sweet. You will make me blush.”
“Hyewon, why would you blush.” Sunni asked.
She blinked at Sunni, surprise warring across her face battling with a smile.
“Wow, that was adorable. Did you just call me by my first name before we even had our first date? You really are trendy, aren't you.”
“It’s not that. I… Your name tag only gives your first name.” Sunni commented.
“Wait, date?” Sunni repeated, her brain finally noting what Hyewon had just said.
Hyewon smiled big.
“Mhmm, right. I said date. Keep calling me Hyewon, I like it.”
“A date with you?” Sunni asked slowly.
“Sure, you like me, right? Ever since I came to ask you to stop filming: you haven’t been able to take your eyes off me. It's like you are trying to drill a hole into my head and out the other side.”
“Ah,” Sunni tried to explain, tried to say something but her brain drew a blank.
“It’s okay, I think you are cute too,” Hyewon said.
Hyewon pulled her face closer to Sunni’s. Sunni blinked in surprise.
“Your lips are done.”
“Although, I hope they don’t stay that way for long.”
“One hundred percent perfectly kissable.”
Sunni gulped. ‘Kissable…’
“Kissable.” She said aloud. Then realized what she had said.
Hyewon blinked and smiled.
“Mhhm, do you want to see?” She asked. Then before Sunni could answer, Sunni found her head turning to look in the mirror. And the flush on her face almost matched the pink on the outer part of her lips.
That wasn’t even the worst of it. Somehow the way Hyewon leaned over her body holding her chin seemed so provocative, that she couldn’t help but feel the heat stir inside her.
“See, perfect,” Hyewon repeated.
Sunni ducked her head in agreement.
“Let’s go eat. I am starving, and I think you very much could use a bit of fresh air.” Hyewon said with a laugh.
“Hey don’t make fun of me,” Sunni commented, forgetting how flustered she was for a moment.
Hyewon laughed again.
“Sorry, I am not trying to. Just…” Hyewon said.
"Just?" Sunni repeated while frowning.
“Just, for a youtube star, you sure get flustered quite easily. I mean, don’t you have people dolling you up for photos and videos all the time?”
Sunni nodded. “Yeah, but… That's different.” She said. Defending herself.
“Different how? Hyewon asked while walking behind the counter at the front of the store. She grabbed a bag and a jacket and then walked back to where Sunni was waiting for her.
“I dunno… It just is.” Sunni commented.
Hyewon chuckled. “Oh, you are embarrassed again. Right?”
Sunni frowned, turned on her heel, and scuttled off quickly. Leaving Hyewon laughing and sauntering after her.
