THE FASHION KING Sang don Park
That’s not your dream. Just plan. What is your dream? “I want to be a … Fashion King”
My name is Siu, 17 years old. Nothing is different, and nothing is
special. I’m not handsome or tall. I am just a boy. I don’t like studying, but I do, why? It
is because that’s the only way to live. Dream? What is that? I can’t remember
what I wanted to be. Probably I liked to wear different kinds of clothes when I
was young; however I’m living with my grandmother now. She said when I was
4years old my parents divorced, because of money. Yes my family doesn’t have
enough money to support me. I should go to a good university, that’s my only way
to survive in this world…
Alice, she is the most beautiful girl at Siu’s school. Whenever Siu saw her, his heart
suddenly stopped. Siu has never imagined talking with her. He can’t say anything
in front of her. He become like a stone whenever he saw her. He believes that he
won’t be able to talk with her. She lives in different world, like a noble. He
wanted talk with her. Suddenly, she came to Siu with soft
steps.
“Hello! Are you a new student? I have never seen you before,” said
Alice
“Um…yes..?” Siu replied shrilly. However, he is not a new student. “No, I’m…” he tried to
say something again to her.
“Oh I got to go now, sorry see you later!” she said and she’s gone because someone was
calling her. Maybe that was Paul. Paul is a school’s ace baseball player. In
these days usually Alice and Paul have been hanging around together.
“Oh my god,I couldn’t say anything to her!” Siu regretted. He ploddingly walked alone, his
drooping shoulders looked sad. He wanted to have confidence, and he needed to be
more confident. Yes he wanted to be like Paul. As soon as he arrived at home, he
opened the door, then something fell down, a leaflet. He glanced the leaflet.
‘Fashion Contest! What do you want? Popularity? Money? Status? Power? Beauty? The Fashion king gets everything. Achieve you wish!
–Dec/25th/2012 2 o’clock’ Fashion
building.
“Hahaha! A Fashion
contest? Nowadays, who wants to spend their time for a fashion contest?” he
laughed and threw that sheet to the garbage bin.
However something about the fashion
contest didn’t leave in his head, so he went to bed earlier, however many things
interrupted him. Eventually he decided to go outside to cool down. Siu wanted to
go to his secret place. When he reached rooftop of the school, someone was
already there.
“Here is my
secret place, who are you? Excuse me?” he tried to say with confidence but he
actually whispered.
“Oh? Sorry?
My name is Jane, I have met you. You are in Grade 11 class B right?” she said.
Jane, she is the president of grade9, he has heard before. But how did she know
Siu?
“Hello…
Sorry, do you know me?” Siu asked her
“… Anyway
why did you come here? Do you have some agony?” she asked me
again.
Siu
explained to her his anguish and thinking. He felt comfortable when he was
talking to her. She listened silently and tried to make solution, and she opened
her mouse and asked, “Whatever! So what is your dream? What do you want to do in
future?”
“Me? I want
to be a business man and earn money,” he
answered.
“No, that’s
not your dream. That is just your plan not your dream. Also I know that that
isn’t what you actually want to be, right? When you were young, people may have
asked you, ‘what do want to be in future’ and you probably didn’t say a business
man I bet, so well what is your dream?”
“I want to
be a … Fashion King” Siu
answered.
The next
morning Siu could not concentrate on class because he was thinking about last
night. Jane has asked such an unexpected question, so Siu was in bewilderment.
However he didn’t have any idea for his
dream.
“Yes! The
fashion contest poster!” He couldn’t remember the school’s class. That was not
important. He walked to his house. Probably he ran. When he arrived to his
house, he tried to find the leaflet.
“Ok this is my first step to my dream,” said Siu. He waited until
Dec/25th.
On
Christmas, at the fashion building. The fashion king of future came to the
contest; many people came to the contest. Maybe hundreds of People had their own
charm and special style. However Siu also looked very different than usual. When
everyone came to the contest, the doors were locked. Then, someone started to
announce.
“Hello,
Ladies and Gentlemen my name is Steve. A conductor of this contest, also I’m
going to judge you. We have two more people who will judge with me, Paul and
Judy,” Steve announced.
Many people
became noisy, because of 2 people. Yes, Paul is Siu’s school’s student and Judy
is very famous model in Europe.
“Hello
everyone my name is Judy, I’m going to explain the rules, so please listen
carefully, and the contest is formed of elimination round and final selection,” Judy
explained.
“Our first
test is survival mission, we want to reduce people… maybe 50 people will be left
after this survival mission,” Paul continued Judy’s
announcement.
“Therefore,
your first mission is about ‘Christmas’ show and explain Christmas in your own
expression, you have an only an hour. Good luck everybody,” finished off
Judy.
When they
finished speaking, people were plunged in confusion, some people were finding
their clothes and some people couldn’t do anything. Siu was in the latter. He
tried to think carefully.
“Christmas,
Christmas... oh my goodness!” Siu was very confused. “Christmas contains snow,
Santa Claus, and tree, yes! I got an idea”
After an
hour have passed, many people prepared for marking. Some people were eliminated
and some people were passed. Siu’s turn came, he wore brown clothes and rode a
sled and the most important point was his hair. He changed his hair like an
antler. Yes, he became a
Rudolph!
“Oh that is
nice Rudolph look, however many people can copy Rudolph isn’t it too easy?” said
Steve.
Suddenly
Siu sit and started to bell. He tried to be a Rudolph!
“I see… I
can see a Rudolph…A lonely Rudolph,” Judy
admired.
“Certainly,
you have passed,” Paul said
Siu
didn’t like Paul because of Alice however at that moment he thanked
him
“Okay everybody the first stage is done, next week we have the final
mission, see you later,” Steve said directly and was
gone.
A
week later, only 50 people came. They were waiting for next
mission.
“Sorry we were late, let’s start directly, your last mission is
‘Traditional Fashion’! Only 1 person can survive! Show your ability! Let’s
start!” shouted Steve.
“Ha-ha Korea’s traditional clothes! That’s a good idea!” said Siu talking
to himself.
However most people thought about the same thing. He needed something
specific. He tried to find specific clothes. He looked around. There were
Korean, Japanese, American and Canadian. Many people were from different kind of
countries.
“I
got it! Be a world star!” Siu
shouted.
2
hours later the final judgment started. The last judgment is shown by score on
screen. Almost people got own mark. Maximum 300 hundred, minimum 0. When 49
people were being judged , Siu
came to the stage. His fashion was
amazing.
“What is the title of your fashion?” Steve
asked.
“My
title is ‘we are the one' I hoped that the world to become friends, so I’m
wearing map of the Earth, and I put globe on top of my
head.”
“Wonderful! Crazy fashion! Who can wear globe cap?” said Judy being
amazed.
Siu
was very happy. Judy, Steve, and Paul wrote down their score. The score was…
300! Which means that Siu became the fashion king! He haven’t realized it yet.
A few days
later, Siu became very popular at his school. Many girls asked for his phone
number and sometimes he got some presents from the girls. Siu wanted to meet
Jane as fast as he could. One day Alice came to his
class.
“Hello
Siu! You became very famous! Can you give your phone number to me? My phone
number is 123XXX-XXX-XXX,” said Alice and she was being
flirty.
She is the most
beautiful girl in Siu’s school, and Siu used to like her but now he doesn’t like
her anymore. He didn’t know why.
“Sorry,
I’m kind of busy right now, see you later,” he said curtly and ran to Jane’s
class.
“Jane!
Jane! I need you!” he shouted.
“What
is that shouting?” someone asked, yes she was Jane. “Hello Siu? What are you
doing here?”
”Let’s go
outside! Follow me,” Siu held her hand and ran out to the rooftop.
“I heard
you became the fashion king, congratulation!” Jane
said.
“I could
achieve my dream thank you Jane!” Siu
said.
“Are you
satisfied now? Do you still want to be a business man? Ha-ha” Jane
laughed.
“No, Jane
thank you very much, and … I love you,” Siu said to
Jane.
