quickly kicking jaemin out and closing the door, i tugged off my shirt and pants. i pulled on the dobok's pants first, and kicked forward just for fun. ooo. i was still quite flexible.

throwing the white belt over my shoulder, i grabbed my top. i pulled on the belt, but it wouldn't budge. in fact, it was moving my...bra. it was the black and lacy kind, and i was afraid of ripping it. i tugged again, harder this time. it stayed, unlike my bra. i almost pulled it off.

shit, i thought.

with clumsy fingers, i tried to pry off the belt from the back. what was it stuck on? i tugged again and heard a slight tearing noise. i paled. did i rip the belt? my straps?

"er...jaemin!" i called.

"what, ara? are you done?"

"ahaha..." i muttered bitterly. "um, i need a little help in here."

the door creaked open as he entered.

"with what-?" he paused. i smiled awkwardly at him. "um." he scratched his head. "why are you only wearing...that?"

i turned around.

"oh. i- er- see." he came forward, and his cool fingers swept my hair to the side. i stiffened as his finger accidentally touched my back.

working quickly, the belt was removed. "done!" he said.

i turned around and grabbed it from him, avoiding his gaze. "ah, yes, thanks..." i cleared my throat. "can you go back outside now?"

he nodded quickly, and then literally ran outside. i sighed with burning embarrassment.

feeling rushed, i wore the rest of my dobok and tied the belt. it came naturally to me, and i knew muscle memory had helped here.

i stepped out of the office, and there was a tomato-red jaemin sitting on one of the chairs.

"jaemin?" he quickly stood up, and i grinned sheepishly. "you can change now."

he smiled just as weirdly and entered the office. i sat down in the same chair he had sat in and waited.

in about two minutes, he came back out. mirroring his actions from before, i stood up quickly.

"let's go now."

he nodded, almost eagerly. "yes! let's rediscover this place, huh?"

walking beside each other, we walked the whole place, sometimes pointing at certain things and saying, i remember this! or back when i was younger...and etc. it was a place full of youthful memories.
