These past few days, Hayoon had woven until her waist and back ached terribly.
Countless times, she missed the conveniences of modern life and had even considered giving up altogether.
But now, holding the finished cloth in her hands, the overwhelming sense of accomplishment nearly brought tears to her eyes.
After blinking a few times, she asked for Minho and Haeun's opinions.
"How about I sew the hemp clothes myself? Though I'm not very good at sewing, so they might not look very nice."
Haeun already admired her to the point of complete worship and agreed with everything she said.
"You should do it, Sis! No matter how it turns out, I'll love it!"
A faint curve lifted Minho's thin lips.
"I don't even know what hemp clothes are supposed to look like," he admitted.
After all, he had only ever worn beast hides before.
Hayoon looked at him and became momentarily dazed.
If she remembered correctly, this was the first time she had seen him smile since arriving in this world.
It looked incredibly handsome, like the sky clearing after rain.
After silently admiring his face for a moment, Hayoon pulled herself back to her senses and said to the two of them, "Alright then. I'll start now."
She snapped off some thin branches and roughly measured their sizes before beginning to make the clothes.
Although Hayoon had never made clothes before, she had worn them for many years, and with the overwhelming amount of information online, she had still seen plenty of attractive designs.
Anything too complicated was completely out of the question.
That would only make things harder for herself.
After thinking for a while, she decided to make cross-collar long-sleeved half robes.
This style was easy to cut, fit the body well, and allowed freedom of movement.
Actually, the beast world already had similar styles of beast-hide robes, but they were far too hot to wear during summer.
Once she made up her mind, she spent a long time measuring against the fabric before finally beginning to cut it slowly with her tools.
These three pieces of cloth had not come easily. If she ruined them, her heart would truly ache.
Fortunately, she carefully checked every step and sewed everything meticulously.
In the end, she successfully made three outfits: one large and two small.
She even folded and stitched the collars, making them look much more refined.
Because the stitching was hidden on the inside of the clothes, her ugly sewing marks could not be seen, making her secretly praise herself a little.
From harvesting hemp, to spinning thread, weaving cloth, and finally sewing the clothes... every single step required an enormous amount of labor.
They were seriously amazing!!
The remaining scraps were not enough to make pants, so she decided she would make a few pairs of underwear later.
That way she would not have to go without underwear anymore!!
She put on her own robe first and tied the belt around her waist, accentuating her slim figure.
Then she picked up the other two outfits and went to find Haeun and Minho.
Since there were no mirrors, she had no idea what she looked like now.
But seeing both Haeun and Minho staring at her somewhat blankly, she immediately gained confidence and could not help smiling.
"Well?" she asked, slightly lifting both arms so they could see more clearly. "Doesn't it look pretty good?"
Haeun rubbed his eyes and said blankly: "Oh Beast God, hemp cloth can actually be made into clothes like this? That's incredible!!"
The rain outside the grass shelter still had not stopped, and the lighting was somewhat dim.
But Haeun's eyes sparkled brightly. He was obviously stunned by how amazing Hayoon looked.
Truthfully, the clothes made by Hayoon, who could not even be considered a beginner tailor, did not fit perfectly.
But the people of the beast world naturally had excellent figures.
For example, Hayoon herself was slim and tall with beautiful proportions. She had long legs, a slender waist, and looked good even wearing a sack.
The loose-fitting robe, shimmering faintly with a pale silver sheen, reached slightly above her knees.
The belt was tied around her lean and toned waist.
The sleeves were narrow near the arms and wider toward the ends, though not so wide that they interfered with movement.
Because she had rushed to finish them, the cuffs and hems had not been fully stitched yet.
Uneven strands of hemp thread naturally hung loose, unexpectedly adding a rustic charm to the outfit.
The overlapping collar revealed her delicate collarbones, while her wheat-colored neck looked slender and full of vitality.
Combined with her beautiful features, she seemed almost wrapped in a faint silver glow, looking incredibly spirited and lively.
Haeun had already rushed over and circled around her several times.
His paws touched here and there excitedly as he repeatedly exclaimed, "Sis, you look so beautiful right now! Do I have hemp clothes too? I really want to wear them! Or can I try yours on first?"
Hayoon was a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm and said with a laugh, "I finished yours too. It's right here. Try it on."
She handed the smaller hemp robe to him, then she looked toward Minho in the distance and said, "This one is yours."
A faint light flickered in Minho's deep eyes.
Taking long strides, he walked over to her and accepted the robe with both hands.
Using his long, pale fingers, he gently brushed over the fabric before saying in a low but serious voice, "Thank you."
Hayoon had only just begun saying, "No..." before she caught sight of Haeun in the corner of her eye.
The boy apparently could not even wait long enough to go into the cave to change clothes and had already yanked off his beast-hide robe on the spot, leaving himself completely naked.
Her eyebrows jumped violently. "Haeun! Be careful! Go change inside the cave!"
Haeun quickly used the clothes to cover himself while his eyes darted around guiltily. "Sis, Brother Minho's a beastman. Besides, I'm not even an adult yet, so it's fine..."
This little brat!
