"Oh God, I'm nervous", Yara says, wringing out her hands, turning to Racer.

Racer gives her a look. "You're nervous? I have to meet them first. By myself." 

"'Cause you're available. I'll get there as fast as I can, I promise."

Racer gets up to join Yara in front of the full-length mirror. She takes in her plump body, covered, but still not hidden, by a cream-white unzipped hoodie falling off her shoulder, white cropped tank top, and grey sweatpants that fit more like joggers than sweats.

"What should I wear?" She asks, still trying to decide what she thinks of herself right now.

"You'll look cute in anything."

Racer rolls her eyes. "That doesn't help me."

"Loose jeans and a fitted top?"

"Loose jeans are never loose on me."

"But they're not as tight as skinny jeans."

"Tell that to my thighs", Racer mutters, going to hunt down her clothing.

After spending twenty minutes switching outfits, Racer ends up in a black tank top, red flannel over, and dark blue jeans. Once dressed, she starts on her hair. Not wanting to do much or put too much effort in for guys who probably won't care about her, she just puts her hair in two dutch braids. After applying moisturizer, she goes straight for her lip balm, trying not to overthink anymore of her appearance.

"You look cute!" Yara exclaims at the sight of her.

Racer gives her the tiniest smile, not feeling complimented but knowing her friend means well. Oblivious to her roommates behavior, Yara smiles and kisses her cheek and waves before walking out of the apartment.

Left to her own devices, Racer belly-flops onto the couch and goes on her phone to triple check the details of their meet-up.

Yara💓, Donghyuck, Johnny, Mark...

Racer
Is anyone else nervous or am I just being myself?

Donghyuck
I'm also nervous
And excited
Yuta is plain nervous

Yuta
Shut the fuck up

Mark
Racer is Yara nervous?

Racer
A little bit
She's lucky she gets a few minutes to prepare herself
I only feel better cause I plan on being earlier
I think I'll cry if I'm late

Kun
We wouldn't mind if you were late
To be honest, Renjun doesn't even wanna go
He'd like to avoid most of us

Renjun
Rude

Kun
Uh huh

Jaemin
Racer what are you wearing? So we can find you

Racer
A red flannel, black tank top and jeans. There's a 95% chance I'll be sitting there
on my phone and If I'm unlucky, I'll accidentally make eye contact with one of you when you come in
I don't make eye contact by the way

Jeno
You should avoid looking at Donghyuck
and Jaemin then

Jaemin
Don't worry, I do my best not to make you uncomfortable
And Hyuck will do the same cause he's
actually decent

Donghyuck
This is your first warning

Jaemin
Love you too😘

Donghyuck
That's not gonna save you
