Luxury brands have never been that big of a deal for Beomgyu. He grew up with lawyer parents, both of them earning well and sufficient to buy their two sons whatever they wanted.
But he wasn't with his parents anymore. They kicked him out of their house just because he had dreams he wanted to pursue. Pretty messed up but what's done is done. He doesn't have his parents' money to support him. Not anymore.
"Try this" Taehyun showed him a navy blue shirt. "This would look good on you."
Beomgyu eyed the price tag. $790
"Nope" he took the shirt from Taehyun's hands and put it back on the shelf."Then how about this one?" Taehyun pointed at the grey button-down that a mannequin was wearing. "I think this would suit you."
$1,270
"Taehyun" Beomgyu sighed, rubbing his right temple. "Can we go to some other store?"
"But what's wrong with this one?" Taehyun asked, confused. "I always shop from here and I like their collection."
Beomgyu pursed his lips. They were at YSL, a luxury brand store, and looking at the price tags was making his head spin. Everything was too expensive and the last time he checked his account, he had exactly $5.70. He cannot afford any of the items from this shop. Heck, he can't even buy a sock from this mall.
"Can I help you, boys?"
A woman, who looked to be in her mid-thirties, walked over to them, and smiled brightly.
"Yes!" Taehyun grinned. "I want something for my boyfriend here."
Taehyun's words reverberated in Beomgyu's mind. He didn't know that Taehyun would be calling him his boyfriend even in public like this. Even though all of this was new for him, Beomgyu didn't think too much.
"Please follow me"
Taehyun pulled Beomgyu with him and followed the woman to the VIP section.
"These are all the new launches." She pressed a button and the curtains automatically parted, revealing a glass case full of mannequins dressed in expensive clothes from head to toe.
"Woah" Beomgyu gasped. He has never been to the VIP section before. Not even when his parents were funding him.
"I like that one" Taehyun pointed at a mannequin standing at the far right. "That one."
The woman typed something on the iPad and within a minute, another woman came over with a wooden box in her hand.
"Size M should fit you," The woman said and handed the box to Beomgyu who was busy observing other mannequins.
"Go on" Taehyun pushed the boy towards the changing room. "Try it on."
Beomgyu nodded and stepped inside a room that was as big as a small flat.
Beomgyu removed the box lid and stared inside. Taehyun had picked out a white shirt for him with some black pants.
Shrugging his shoulders, Beomgyu stripped off his old outfit and slipped on the black pants first. They were high-waisted with silver buttons sewn on the fabric. The pair of pants fit him like a glove. He then very carefully wore the shirt and tucked it.
Beomgyu stood in front of the full-size mirror. He looked pretty. The shirt had a frill in the front and bishop sleeves with tiny silver buttons on the cuffs. The black pants hugged his hips, making his waist look extremely snatched.
Along with the clothes, he wore the new shoes that they picked out. Black shiny boots that were a bit pointed. He liked it. He liked how he looked in the fit but he couldn't buy it. The total cost was probably around $5000 and Beomgyu knew it was out of his league.Not wanting Taehyun to wait any longer, he stepped out and looked at the two people who were standing there with their mouths hanging open.
"Gorgeous," Taehyun said, walking over to Beomgyu with the biggest smile. "You look gorgeous, darling."
Beomgyu blushed slightly at the nickname.
Taehyun's fingers caressed his waist and back, making sure that the cloth piece fit, unknowingly making Beomgyu shiver from the touch.
"You look great" the woman smiled at Beomgyu which he returned. He knows he looks good but what's the point?
"We have a matching outfit." She said. "I can show you if you want."
Taehyun thought for a while. "Matching you say?" He asked the woman who nodded. "Alright then."
It took Taehyun five minutes to change and when he stepped out, Beomgyu's eyes widened. He has never seen someone this beautiful in his life.
Taehyun wore a black shirt of the same pattern but with slight changes. There was no frill and the sleeves were tube-like, with tight cuffs. His shirt had a high collar, contrasting Beomgyu's open v-neck. His pants were black but instead of silver buttons, there were black hooks that made his hips wider, sexier. Their shoes were the exact same, except his were longer boots.
"Handsome couple I must say" the woman grinned at her choice of clothes and made the two stand next to each other. "You look mesmerizing."
Taehyun chuckled. "Thank you."
Beomgyu looked in the mirror standing in front of them. They looked good. Really good.
"We will wear these" Taehyun said. "Please pack our old clothes for us."
Beomgyu nudged him lightly. "I'm not buying this." He whispered.
"Why?" Taehyun whispered back. "I thought you liked it?"
"I do" Beomgyu said, looking at the woman who was busy stuffing his old tshirt and jeans in a YSL bag.
"Then?"
Beomgyu took a deep breath. "I can't afford this."
Taehyun studied Beomgyu's face and then started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Beomgyu raised his eyebrows.
"Oh darling," Taehyun whispered in the boy's ear, "when I said I'll buy you everything, I meant it."
He winked at Beomgyu and walked away after the woman to pay for their purchase, leaving a red Beomgyu behind.
