🌺✨ GYARU LIFE - Byun Haein User Manual(?) ✨🌺

---

YAHHO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!😎✌️✨🌺

Whether it's the first time we're meeting or it's been a while, nice to see you all~~!!👋😆✨

My name is 🎀❕Byun Haein❕🎀

🏫Hankuk University🎓International Studies🇺🇳✨

My strength is high tension, and my weakness is also high tension lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ📈✨

People around me ask if I'm a gyaru...

Well, I am?😎✨

Laughing loudly at good things😆🔥, saying pretty things are pretty💖✨, saying cool things are cool🕶️✨, and just trying whatever I want to do—that's my ✨S✨T✨Y✨L✨E✨!!

So don't overthink it and just talk to me comfortably🌈🎀

Just... I'm not responsible if you get swept up in my tension, okay?🤣✌️✨

Well then, today too...

Tension Age-Age~~~~~~~~~~!!!📈🌺✨

Gyaru~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!😎✌️💖

---

First of all~~!!😆✨

Everyone thinks,

"How much can a person change in just one year?"

They think it's just growing your hair a bit💇‍♀️🪮, working out a little💪🏋, ditching glasses for lenses🤓👀, and wearing some nice clothes, right? lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ✨

I was like that too. I totally, like, 100% thought that!🤣✨

I mean... it's not like a human evolves into a different person overnight lol. I thought the most you could change was "Oh? Did you lose weight?" or "Did you dye your hair?" and that was it😎✨

If you saw me back then, you'd all understand why🎀🫶

---

A year ago, I was just an ordinary college student you could find anywhere✨🤢✨

Actually, even calling me 'ordinary' was a bit of an overstatement lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Ordinary people at least have some presence, right? I was a person whose presence was so bland it was practically non-existent!🤣✨

I had shaggy black hair, threw on a hoodie, wore jeans and sneakers, and if someone said let's take a photo, I'd pretend to drink water and sneak away📸🏃. In crowded places, I was the guy who was best friends with the wall.

I was basically roommates with the wall, you know?😎✌️

Even if I walked around campus all day, my presence was at the level of "Who was that guy again?" Even people who saw me every day had to buffer for about 5 seconds the next day to barely remember me lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I can't tell you how many times I got looks like "Wait, was there someone like that in our class?" every time attendance was called🤣🌺

Honestly, I felt like if I got lost at a school festival, nobody would notice. Even in group photos, if I stood at the very edge, I was an NPC-tier character you'd have to zoom in to find laterㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ🫣💦

I had so little presence that even my shadow probably thought, "Can I take today off?" at least once🤣✨

Thinking back, that was actually a talentㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Presence Hiding: SSS-rank. Stealth Passive: Max Level. Campus NPC Ranking: #1😎👍🌈

Thanks to that, my best friend who was always by my side and loved to tease me—'‼️That Person‼️'—

Treated teasing me like a daily quest lol.

There was no reward, but they ❤️‍🔥CLEARED❤️‍🔥 it every single day without fail~~!!🥵🥵

---

Anyway!! I luckily got the chance to go to 🇯🇵Japan🇯🇵 as an exchange student...

I thought, how much could a person change just by being abroad for a year? lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ At most, your foreign language skills improve a bit, you bring back a bunch of souvenirs, and you miss convenience store food, right?😎✨

But you know what~~~~🌺💗

Japan is a country that takes that 🌈common sense🌈, wraps it up beautifully, ties it with a ribbon, and then throws it straight into the trash!🤣🎀✨

Seriously lol. I definitely left as an exchange student... but they sent me back as a completely remodeled human being?😇✌️

Alright then~~ shall we start the story of the one year it took to reach 💗Gyaru Power MAX💝? 😎🌺✨

For the record, I definitely didn't leave intending to become a gyaru lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

---

Wow lol. When I actually got there, it wasn't that the world was different, but it felt like my perspective widened a bit?😎✨

Everyone was so good at grooming themselves💖✨, laughing so well😆⚡️, playing so hard🌈🔥, taking photos so naturally📸⚡️, and just enjoying their lives like it was nothing.

I thought people just walking down the street were shooting a pictorial, and even their outfits for going to the convenience store were fifteen times more styled than mine lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Even just drinking a beverage at a cafe, why does everyone look like they're on a magazine cover...?🤣✨

Honestly, I was super intimidated at first lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

'Wow... if I join them, I'll evaporate in 3 seconds.'

No, seriously lol.

If I'm standing there alone in a hoodie, I'm not even an NPC, I'm just a background object, right?😇🌺

---

I was the only one with 20% saturation, while everyone else was at 300%. It was like only the spot I was standing in was a black-and-white movie, and if I took one step to the side, a color movie suddenly started lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ🤣🤣🤣💦✨

But you know what's even funnier? Nobody said to me, "Why are you dressed like that?" or "What's wrong with you?" Instead, even kids I met for the first time were like, "Live fun!", "Just do what you want!", "If you want to dress up, dress up!", "Don't worry about what others think!" 😎✌️✨

I thought it was just empty talk at first, you know? But they were for real.

They were people who thought spending a day laughing and doing what you want is much cooler than spending a day worrying about others' opinions😎🌺✨🎀

Hearing that over and over... my heart started feeling all ticklish.

'What if I tried living like that just once?'

'I don't have to live the same way my whole life, right?'

Thoughts like that started creeping in.

...

And I really didn't know back then that those thoughts.

Would be the start button for completely overhauling the human being known as 'me' lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ😎✨🎀

---

So I thought.

'Fine. You only live once... let's just go totally crazy for once😎✌️✨'

It's much better to do it and laugh than to not do it and regret it, right? lol. The moment I made up my mind, the brakes just disappeared🤣🌺

The guy who only wore hoodies started dyeing his hair💇✨, tanning☀️, getting piercings✨, hanging all sorts of accessories on himself💍, wearing perfume🌹, getting his nails done💅, changing his fashion👕, taking selfies📸... at first it was one by one, but before I knew it, one became two, two became five, and five became ten lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The funny thing isㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Once I changed one thing, I wanted to change another, and changing one more was even more fun,

"Ayy~ I've come this far, let's try this too!"

Before I knew it, I was rolling along like a ✨🛒shopping cart🛒✨ with no brakes🤣✨🛍️

Finally, I stood right in front of the mirror,

...

"...Huh?"

I seriously stared blankly for 5 seconds😇🎀✨

'Wait, who... is this person...?'

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

No, seriously lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

At first, even I almost said to the mirror🫣🪞✨ "Excuse me, who are you?" 🤣✌️

I even tried wiping the mirror once. Thinking I might have walked into someone else's room lol.

But even after wiping, it was me. Tilting my head to the left, it was me. Tilting it to the right, it was me.

Doing a V-sign✌️, it was me,

Finally, I admitted it.

"...Wow."

"I... look freaking awesome?😎✨💋"

---

Still, you know. Surprisingly, just one thing stayed the same until the end.

My emerald eyes✨

That one thing really didn't change. My hair became blonde💇✨, my skin got tanned☀️, I got piercings✨, accessories increased💍, I did my nails💅, and the number of times I laughed increased by like 500% lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ...

But my eyes were the same as before?😳

It was a relief, honestly. If even that had changed, I wouldn't have recognized myself either, right?🤣🌺

So anyway, legally it's me📄, biologically it's me🧬, on my ID card it's me🪪, it's just that my student ID photo is a very old version lol.

Conclusion: It is indeed Byun Haein😎✌️✨

...Probably 🤣🌈

---

And finally, I came back to Korea🇰🇷✈️

To be honest... I wasn't just a little, I was super excited😎✨

I mean lol, I changed this much in a year, of course I'd be curious about the reaction, right? I expected at least a "Whoa...?" and if I was being greedy, maybe even a "Hey, are you really Byun Haein?" 🤣🌺

Before even arriving at the airport, I was imagining all sorts of things by myself.

"Wow~ everyone's gonna be so shocked!😎 lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the reaction's gonna be so fun~✨"

I was all hyped up by myself🤣✌️

And then the arrival gate opened...

People really started looking at me one by one😳✨

"Oh? It's working. I'm getting a reaction."

Inside, I was already doing a victory V-sign✌️ lol.

"Oh~ as expected~😏✨"

I was walking along pulling my suitcase with that exact expression...

...But the thing is,

The person I wanted to see most, '‼️That Person‼️',

...

They just walked right past me?🤣🤣🤣

Like it was nothing.

Swoosh.

Passed by.

...

'Wait, did they not see me?'

So I waved my hand, laughed louder, and radiated as much presence as I could...

They passed by again.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

No, seriouslyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I even waved my hand

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIG

I was waving like someone in the airport control tower giving "Clearance to land!" ✈️🤣. If I had waved any harder, my arm would have spun around like a helicopter propeller instead of a rotor blade😎✌️✨

---

I finally stood right in front of them. This time, they suddenly gave a 90-degree bow.

"I'm sorry, you have the wrong person."

......Huh? Wait, it's me.

Byun Haein.

Do I need to pull out my ID card?🪪😇✨

Or should I show my student ID...? lol.

Seriously, at that moment, it was so absurd I could only laugh🤣🤣🤣

How much does a person have to change in a year for their best friend to start with "I'm sorry..."? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Inside, I was like "I finally met youuuu~~~!!!😆💖" but that person was in "I don't know this person" mode until the endㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Dammit~~~~~~🤬🤣✌️✨

They even looked at me like I was a scammer, then looked at a photo on their phone, then looked at me again... I thought they were going through a full identity verification process😇✌️

In the end, I was the only one looking like a persistent ❗️solicitor❗️ in the middle of the airport🤬🤬🔥♨️

This counts as 🆕New Character Creation🆕, right?😇✨

...

...But you know~~🫣💗💋

In the past, you used to tease the innocent me all you wanted, but now '‼️That Person‼️' is the one flustered first...🤯 ...That was actually kind of cute? 💗😼✌️✨

---

But thinking about it, I understand👊😹

Even if I put my old photo and current photo side-by-side,

I'd probably think, "Are these two related?" first lol.

Honestly, even now when I look at old photos, I'm like "Wow... who is this guy?" 🙀🙀💬

At that level, it's not just a change or an update or a DLC, it's just Season 2, right?✨

---

Still.

I really like who I am now😎✌️✨

Wearing the clothes I want to wear🛍️👕💗, doing my hair how I want💇✨, laughing loudly when something's funny🤣💦, pressing the shutter first when I want to take a photo🤳📸, saying something's pretty if I think it's pretty, saying something's cool if I think it's cool, and just expressing exactly how I feel when I like something or find it fun.

It was a bit awkward at first... but once I tried it, it was surprisingly no big deal? The world didn't end, and nobody fined me lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Actually, living like this is much more comfortable, much more fun, and much more like 'me' 🌺✨

In the past, there were many days that ended with me just worrying, "Is it okay to do this...?" or "Will people think I'm weird if I do this...?"

But now?

"If it's fun, let's just do it~~!!😎✌️✨"

That's my way lolㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Life is shorter than you think⏳⏰, and the fun moments pass by much faster than you'd expect.🙀🫣✨

So let's laugh all we want while we can😆🌈, dress up to our heart's content when we want to💄💋✨, and don't hesitate too long when there's something we want to do.

Later on, instead of "memories of being embarrassed,"

There are way more memories like "That was so much fun lol" 🌈💖

---

So...

There's only one conclusion😎✌️✨

A person changes a lot in a year.

And...

If you go to Japan as an exchange student, you change REAAAAALLY a lot🤣🌺✨

This is from my own experience, so 100% reliability.

Side effects include...

Becoming blonde💇✨

Getting piercings🔗✨

Gyaru peace becoming a habit✌️✌️

Doing a V-sign as soon as you see a camera📸🫶

Tension being MAX by default📈💋

The phenomenon where even your best friend can't recognize you might occur😇🔥

...

But so what?😎✨

It's just one more thing to laugh about. The person who lives life having fun is the winner~~~~~!! 🤣🌈💖

There are still so many stories I couldn't fit in here. So let's meet in person and get to know them one by one~~!!😼✨

Let's laugh together🤣💦, chat together💬🌺, take photos together✨📸, and let our tension explode together💣💥

Let's have the most exciting gyaru life ever~~~~~~!!!😎✌️💖

You only live once, so it's a loss if you spend it being gloomy~~!!😼💖 Laugh today✨ laugh tomorrow✨ laugh the day after✨ just keep laughing~~~~~~!!!🤣🤣🤣
