When the salesman was done, Yeonjun was bright red and Soobin could barely hold his amusement and it probably showed on his face as the younger glared at him.

They were led into the fitting room and asked to wait. Grumbling to himself, Yeonjun settled on an armchair. Soobin sat on the one next to him. Between them was a mahogany table stacked with men's magazines, a bottle of coke, and two glasses.

"What's wrong? This was your idea," Soobin said, picking up the bottle and a glass to pour himself a drink. It was complimentary, so why not?

"I... may have bitten off more than I can chew," said Yeonjun, blushing.

"If you are worried about paying, don't worry about it okay?" Soobin said after taking a sip of the scotch, letting the coke chill his body. "And if it makes you feel better, why don't you buy clothes for me too?"

It looked like he said some magic words and Yeonjun's face lit up.

"I have to look like you right?" Soobin said playfully. "Wasn't that the plan?"

Yeonjun's eyes glinted with mischief and Soobin almost took his words back if not for the arrival of the salesman, followed by a saleslady. Both of their hands were wrapped around hangers of button-down shirts in various colors and designs.

Yeonjun was then ushered into a room with the shirts.

Soobin turned to the salesman who was helping him. "Can you also bring back a few suit jackets for him? Casual ones, not too formal. Preferably black but if you have any dark blue, add them too."

The man nodded and left with his co-worker.

Meanwhile, Soobin leaned back into the armchair, still sipping on the coke and even picking up a magazine to rifle through.

It didn't take long for the curtains to be brushed aside and out stepped Yeonjun in a simple white button-down. With the man's white-washed jeans and black sneakers, he made the shirt look casual. 

"Well?" Yeonjun asked gesturing to himself.

Soobin pursed his lips. "You would look better with dark pants. Perhaps black. What you're wearing now is too casual. Not really my style."

Yeonjun nodded, looking like he was taking notes in his head, and went back into the room to change.

Soobin poked his head out of the rooms, asking a passing salesman for a few pairs of formal black jeans in a size a bit lesser than hin, as Yeonjun was a bit shorter than him.

Meanwhile, Yeonjun tried on more shirts and showed them all off to Soobin. The CEO had to admit that he was greatly enjoying his little fashion show, mostly because of how Yeonjun seemed embarrassed with each semblance he came out with, clearly not used to wearing such formal clothing.

"You are not planning to buy these all for me, are you?" he asked, as he appeared out in a nice powder blue shirt, fiddling with the cuffs.

Soobin stood up and reached out to take the latter's wrist to help him fold and button them up. Then, he moved his hands up to fix the shirt's collar, smoothing them out. Yeonjun had left the top button unbuttoned so Soobin went ahead and buttoned it up. But... the look just didn't fit Yeonjun so he unbuttoned it again.

Better. Yeonjun had nice collarbones.

Meanwhile, Yeonjun raised an eyebrow at this action. At the inquiring look, Soobin blushed and coughed as he took a step back.

"I just wanted to see how it looked," Soobin said, as cool as possible.

Just then, the salesman entered with a few pairs of dark-colored jeans and the jackets he had asked for.

"Try those on," soon continued as the salesman handed the younger man the clothing. "And pick the ones you like. Okay?"

"Soobin-ssi, this is too much-."

"Humor me, Yeonjun-ssi." Soobin even offers a smile.

Clearly swallowing, Yeonjun nodded and went back into the fitting room with the clothing.

They stayed at the store another half hour, with Soobinpicking out his own favorites from the selection.

After all, Yeonjun did say he wanted to dress like Soobin.

They left the store with three new shirts, a new pair of dark jeans, and a midnight blue suit jacket for Yeonjun.

Yeonjun had not stopped asking him if he was sure about buying for him and then thanking him while Soobin paid with his black card.

"My turn!" Yeonjun piped, practically skipping to another part of the mall where the less high-end stores were located, swinging his bag of new clothing. Though Yeonjun did own multiple real estates, also a mini restaurant, his style was always rather the ordinary, somewhere between the middle and high-end.

On the way, he chattered on and on about his fashion style (chic but on a budget), his favorite clothing (v-neck shirts in the summer and baggy sweaters in the winter), and how excited he was to buy clothes for Soobin.
