《Skirt》

After the events of that night, Dino went straight to Han, barging into his hotel room. "Han! You'll never guess-" Dino froze at the scene he walked in on.

There stood Han in front of the mirror, black button-up crop top, and pink skirt. "I- oh god." Han sighed as tears welled up in his eyes.

"Woah woah woah, Han, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Dino asked, shutting the door behind him.

"No one was supposed to find out." Han cried as Dino took his hands in his.

"Find out what?" Dino asked in confusion before he looked down at Han's skirt. "About the skirt?" Dino said as Han only cried harder.

"Oh Han." Dino sighed as he led the younger to sit down on the bed. "Did you think I was going to judge you for wearing a skirt?" Dino asked.

Han nodded as Dino pulled him into a hug. "There is nothing to be scared about, I could never judge you for something like this." Dino reassured.

"In fact, I think you look really pretty." Dino whispered. "Pink is a really good color on you." Dino added.

"You really think so?" Han asked as Dino nodded.

"Yeah, did you just get the skirt?" Dino asked as Han nodded.

"There was a really cute store down the road." Han explained.

"Do you want to tell the others?" Dino asked Han later that night.

"I'm scared too. What if they hate me?" Han said worriedly as he played with the hem of his skirt.

"Han, you're in the mafia. If they judge you for wearing a skirt than their morals are completely fucked." Dino said, standing up.

"Come on, I'm gonna prove to you that you have nothing to worry about." Dino said, holding his hand out to Han.

Han allowed Dino to drag him to where Changbin and Bangchan were talking. "Hey guys." Bangchan smiled.

"See, they don't even notice." Dino said.

"Notice what?" Changbin asked as Dino motioned over to Han, who was nervously standing next to him. "Oh! Cute skirt Han, love the color." Changbin smiled.

The nonchalant comment made Han burst into tears again as he collapsed onto the floor.

"Ji? What's going on?" Bangchan asked as he sat down on the floor next to the younger, Changbin joining shortly after.

"I'll give you guys a moment." Dino said leaving to head back to his own hotel room.

Safe to say everything was worked out that night.
