Neither of them texted the other. Not even before their first date. It was Sunwoo who called Y/N with the details.

«Good morning, Y/N,» she said brightly. «Are you ready for the date tonight?»

«No, but I will be.»

«Good! Seonghwa will come pick you up at the hotel at seven. He'll text you when he's there so you can come down. He won't leave the car.»

«Okay.»

«You will go to a restaurant with live music, there will be bodyguards around, but the two of you will eat alone, of course.»

«Right. How should I dress?»

«It's the kind of place where you'd probably want to wear some kind of dress.»

«How fancy?»

«Are you feeling overwhelmed, Y/N?» Sunwoo asked, and Y/N couldn't really hold the tears back any longer.

«I'm sorry, this is so unprofessional.» She tried to hide her sniffles so Sunwoo wouldn't hear through the phone.

«Hey! It's okay, Y/N. Listen, I understand why this is hard, I really do. I know this is a job, but that doesn't make it any easier. You know, you have a budget for clothing now. Let me call my friend Damon, he has nothing to do with KQ but he is a stylist and he will be able to help you out.»

«Really?»

«Yes,» Sunwoo said, she felt bad for the girl who was going on a date with an idol. She would have freaked out herself. «But you can't tell Damon that this is work. You are going on a date, and you need his help. I'll give him your number, okay?»

«Yeah, okay. Thanks.»

«Don't worry. Seonghwa is a good guy, you know. I'm sure you'll be friends in no time.»

«Thank you, Sunwoo.» Y/N might not buy what she said, but she appreciated the effort. It was nice feeling that someone had her back when she felt worthless like she did right now. Though, Seonghwa had picked her for being average, so he couldn't really complain when she arrived looking average.

Damon had known Sunwoo for more than a decade. Ever since he first came to Seoul she had been one of his closest friends in the city. Sunwoo wouldn't have asked this favor if it wasn't important, so he pushed aside some pretty big clients to welcome Sunwoos friend Y/N.

The scared young woman entering his offices immediately tugged at his heartstrings. Poor thing, she was terrified. She smiled a nervous smile, and he was in love. Obviously not in love in love. He was as gay as they came, and there was no hiding it. But this girl, he just wanted to wrap her up in his arms and keep her safe.

«Hello, my dear, welcome! You must Y/N!» He kissed both her cheeks, and took her hands. «Sunwoo says you're going on a date and you need my help getting an outfit?»

«Y-yeah,» she stuttered and shook her head to get rid of this stupid fear. «I really have no idea where to go in Seoul to get something that would fit me.»

«Oh, honey, that's where I can work my magic. Because, guess what, there is plenty of options.»

She didn't believe him for a second. «Yeah, I don't think you realize just how different I am from the tiny korean women you..»

«Sweetheart!» He stopped her by putting a finger on her lips. «Shush now. I see you. I see how tall you are, and babe, you got a figure! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am to be helping you out today. This is going to be so much fun.»
