"Yuri, can I just wear pants?"

"No! We are going to a fancy restaurant. Besides, this dress is comfortable, put it on." She shoved the black dress in my hand.

It has long sleeves.. let's hope it covers my thighs

When I changed to the dress, I was surprised with how well it fit. I was still unhealthily thin, but the dress almost made me forget about it. It hugged my curves, making me question if it was too sexy compared to Yuriko.

  She shook her head at my concern, saying it was perfect for where they were going. (Yurikos outfit at the bottom of chapter.)

  She wanted to do a full face of makeup, but I only let her give me a bit of eye shadow, under eye eyeliner, mascara and lip tint. She tried to give me heels, but I found an old pair of black flats that still fit me.

  She added some beach waves to my hair, surprising me with how it turned out.

  I added a pretty little ankle bracelet, as well as bracelets and two necklaces. Yuriko let me borrow one of her mini purses, matching it perfectly with my outfit.

  Is this even me?

  "All done! We cuteeeeee." She posed in the mirror as I just stood, staring at someone I didn't recognize. She had to snap me back to reality, preparing me to walk out of the door.

  "So.. J-jisung does like me?"

  She sighed, calming down for the moment. Placing a hand on my shoulder, she looked me in the eye. "Yes, he does. So much so that he knew he had to face our parents and get their offical permission, AND sat talking to them while we get ready."

  "Shit, your right. Let's hurry down there." We shared a chuckle.

  She grabbed perfume and sprayed us both last minute, opening the door for me. "Here we go!"

  I've never been so nervous walking down these steps; and that's saying something. I could feel Jisungs eyes follow me as we approached. They both stood from the couch, as did our parents.

  "Both of you, be home at midnight. Moriko, don't be a moment late or else you'll sit in that room until you leave, understand?"

  He changed his mind?

  "Yes, father." I quietly spoke. We bid farewell and walked out to Jisungs car. The two boys opened doors for us each as I sat passenger. The moment all doors shut, Jisung relaxed in the driver seat and groaned. "Fuckkk that was so nerve racking, your folks are no joke!"

  We all shared a giggle. I noticed Hyunjins arm around the girl in the backseat, causing me to roll my eyes at their clinginess. "Oh, it's nice to finally meet you, Moriko." Hyunjin awkwardly introduced himself, showing a much different vibe than when he talked to our parents.

  "You as well." I huffed, looking towards the driver as he began backing out of the driveway. "You really are unbelievable. Didn't even ask me on a date, but asked my parents if you could take me on one. Tsk tsk tsk."

  The other two went silent as he nervously chuckled. "I-it doesn't have to be a date if you don't want it to be. I just thought I'd take the opportunity to make a good impression on your parents.."

  I let him off the hook and backed off, knowing him for long enough to know when he was lying. "I guess I'll decide at the end if it was a date or not. So, what are we doing?"

  Hyunjin chimed in. "We are going to one of our favorite restaurants, then we figured we could split up and do our own things before meeting up at a bar at around nine. How does that sound?"

  "I think that's reasonable. Mori, you okay with that?" Yuriko hit my shoulder from the back seat, assuring I was comfortable. I just nodded with a smile.

  My jaw had dropped to the floor as we were showed to our seats. It was a table of four alone on a balcony, showing a beautiful view of the city. It was barely around lunch time, giving us the restaurant almost to ourselves.

  "Yah, this place must cost a fortune!" Yuriko expressed as we took our seats. She wasn't wrong, I was speechless since we pulled up to the place.

  I wasn't exactly sure what was running through my head at the moment. Just an hour ago I was watching my sister get ready for her date while wearing sweats and a hoodie, to now.. wearing her designer brands to a rich people restaurant with Jisung sitting in front of me.

  Do I even like him like that?

  I mean, he makes me feel all fluttery

  But I would just drag him down

  Does he know what he is getting into with dating me?

  People will start to hate on him

  "Moriko, you alright?" Jisung asked, causing all three eyes to be on me. I nervously laughed, taking a sip of water. "I'm okay, just a bit deep in thought there for a minute. This place is breathtaking."

 

   We all enjoyed lunch together. I wasn't able to finish the whole meal, but no one commented on it, nor even paid enough attention to notice. I was thankful to that, declining desert.

  "Open." Jisung goofily smiled, holding up the first bite of his brownie. After they all started to playfully yell at me, I just took it and was done eating.

  I didn't think meal time could be so pleasant. The two boys were funny, intelligent, and very well behaved gentlemen.

  When the bill came around, Hyunjin snatched it from Yuriko before she could look, handing it to Jisung. "Nice try."

  She huffed in defeat, folding her arms and looking at me. "How dare he."

  I threw my hands up in defense. "Don't look at me, that's your boo."

Another fit of laughter broke out, our reservation coming to an end. I felt my cheeks grow warm as Jisung pulled out my chair, holding out a hand to help me up so I could hold the dress down.

  "You look beautiful today, but I think I like your usual style better."

  I lightly punched his chest, avoiding his eyes. "Yeah.. I wanted to wear pants but Yuri said no."

"You are such a tomboy." Yuriko huffed, overhearing my quiet remark. I just stuck my tongue out at her, getting the same back.

"Already, see you guys at nine!" Hyunjin pulled my sister along, seemingly eager to get somewhere. I turned back to the boy, spinning awkwardly in my spot. "So, now what."
