Today was the day. Junmyeon was finally going on an official date with Jackson. He had dreamed of this day for what felt like forever, but he had pushed it off after he was rejected at the dance. He tried to assure himself it wasn't that serious and that he'd look fine in anything. Unfortunately, that wasn't exactly working.

Junmyeon was currently sitting on the end of his bed surrounded by a pile of clothes. He had went through almost ten different outfits and nothing seemed good enough in his mind. He wanted to look hot, but didn't want it to seem like he was trying too hard. His thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened revealing his best friend.

"Really?"

Xiumin raised a brow, gesturing to the scene before him.

Junmyeon gives a toothy grin in response.

The oldest chuckles and shakes his head.

"Alright. Tell me what you're going for,"

Xiumin says, looking through the options.

"I want to look attractive, but not so attractive it looks like I tried really hard."

"Well you don't have to do much for that. You're already sexy,"

his friend winks.

"Shut up,"

Junmyeon laughs, playfully shoving Xiumin.

"Just saying. Hmm. How about,"

Xiumin thinks for a moment, throwing a few outfits together and comparing them.

"This. Casual and confident,"

he decides confidently.

Junmyeon exams the outfit (photo above) and smiles happily,

"It's perfect!"

Xiumin smiles, also grabbing one of Junmyeon's hats and puffy coats,

"It's cold so wear these too."

He takes the items and nods before shooing the older from the room. He finishes getting ready, doing his makeup and checking to see he has all his books. Once done, he exits the room and makes his way down the hall.

"You look great!"

Xiumin squeals upon seeing his friend.

While Xiumin didn't express it externally, he was actually really happy that Junmyeon was finally going to have a chance with Jackson. He knew how much it hurt Suho when he got rejected and was hoping this time it'd be different. Jackson initiating the date gave him hope, but he didn't want to be too sure. No matter the outcome, he was gonna be there for his best friend.

Junmyeon smiles happily,

"Couldn't have done it without you~"
