Yeonderella (TXT YeonBin story)

6 - Soobin

A/N: ASKKDJDHKDJDK I couldn't believe my eyes yesterday when I saw that YeonBin actually did the Nick and Judy trend, they are super cute!!

.

'You did wHAT?!!' exclaimed Huening Kai with his dolphin screech while Soobin's other friend, Kang Taehyun was throwing himself around on Soobin's bed, hunching over because his stomach hurt from laughing. Soobin groaned and yeeted his pillow at Taehyun, but the younger didn't mind as he was too busy laughing at their oldest friend.

'This isn't funny!' whined Soobin and crossed his arms sulking.

'Did you just come out because of a school dance you are not even attending?' asked Huening Kai. It snapped Taehyun out of his laughing as he sat up on the bed immediately.

'Wait, what?! You're not going to the Valentine's Day party?' he gasped. 'Even I'll be there!! Hello?! Me! Your favorite antisocial friend!' he pointed at himself repeatedly.

'You have to be there, dude, you are photographing for the school's website! But I don't want to go!' sighed Soobin. 'I won't have a partner...'

'Seriously? Hyung, you could make some use of your popularity once in a while' rolled his eyes Kai. 'Which I don't even know where you got from. I mean you literally don't talk to anyone unless they talk to you. Why is everyone after you?' he asked jokingly.

'Well, have you seen this face?' asked Tae and grabbed Soobin's face, turning him towards Kai. 'Anyone would kill to date him!'

'Yeah, and he would kill anyone who would date him' nodded Kai. Soobin freed his head from Taehyun's hands.

'I simply don't feel like going. People are way too delusional and I don't feel like declining everyone' he said.

'How are you so sure that you're gonna decline everyone? Who knows, maybe you will find true love at this dance!' said Kai excitedly, jumping on the bed between his friends and hanging his head upside down. 'Wait. What did your Dad say to your coming out?' he asked suddenly, making Taehyun burst out in laughter once again.

'He was mad-'

'WHAT??!' exclaimed both his friends in sync. 'Oh come on, I thought your Dad was a good guy!' whined Kai.

'If you'd just let me finish, I'd elaborate' rolled his eyes Soobin. 'I wanted to say that he was mad that I didn't tell him sooner! Now he is even more obsessed with me finding a boyfriend and he wants a son-in-law, and also hopes that we will adopt kids one day with my future husband' groaned Soobin. The youngers awwed at that.

'Oh my gosh, that's so cute! I wish my parents were like that, but they still believe that my asexuality is just a phase' sighed Taehyun.

'They will change their minds when you will end up being a cat dude at the age of 70 with 25 cats' waved it off Kai.

'Great plans for my future.'

'Whatever.'

.

'So. This is the Valentine's party. Everything has to be perfect!' walked Kai on the front as he pulled the boys into another clothing store.

Soobin sighed. They were at the mall for at least 2 hours now. After his friends convinced him to at least think about going to the party, Huening Kai decided that it's time for them to find the perfect suits for the night, even though there were still several days till the dance.

They walked from boutique to boutique, looking for the perfect party fits for themselves. They had to be formal, but not too formal, just enough formal to make them feel like real princes if Soobin was quoting Yujin's words. Soobin couldn't help but feel like the embarrassed parent of his problem children as he walked behind Kai and Tae who were busy pointing out suits and ties in every store.

'I'm so done' he mumbled once he pulled them out of another shop. He paid all three of them a bubble tea just so his friends will shut up at least until they drink it.

'There's your Dad's shop!' pointed out Taehyun. Soobin sighed and turned around with the straw in his mouth. His Dad's clothing company (Choi&Co.) had shops in basically every single shopping center all over the country. Soobin, even though he was proud of his Dad's work, didn't tell many people about how he is related to Choi&Co. He didn't want to make favors to anyone.

'Maybe we should go there too! We could find some suits!' said Kai excitedly. 'How come I didn't think of it sooner?! I'm a genius!'

You surely are, groaned Soobin internally. He really didn't want to shop at his Dad's store. It's not like he couldn't afford it, but even if his Dad isn't in the store right now (which he highly doubted), he is going to get informed about their visit and he is not going to let Soobin get away with this masquerade ball. Let's face the facts: the whole world was against him trying to slip out of this. Maybe the Universe is trying to tell him that he should go to the party?

To his bad luck, Taehyun and Kai were already making their way towards the shop in excitement. Soobin had no choice but to follow them.

People were coming in and out of the boutique with shopping bags or boxes in their hands. As Soobin entered behind his friends, he almost ran into someone who was just coming out of the shop with two boxes. Soobin made a mental note that his Dad once again changed the design of the gift boxes and bags.

'Soobin hyung!!' he heard Huening Kai's voice from inside the shop and he cursed silently. If his Dad is here then he is definitely going to hear about his arrival because of the volume his friends keep using. He found Kai and Tae between the racks of clothes as they were staring at the suits on the mannequins.

'Let's look around!' said Taehyun as they continued rummaging through the clothes. Soobin began searching mindlessly too, rather for Kai and Tae than for himself.

'Soobin! Wow, you are here! You haven't visited since forever!' he heard his Dad's voice from the direction of the cashier. He sighed and turned around.

'Hi Dad! We just stopped by... to look for some suits for Tae and Kai-'

'-and to Soobin of course! Hi Mr Choi!' greeted Taehyun jumping next to Soobin.

'Hi boys!' greeted Soobin's Dad. 'Well, I'm glad you decided to stop by... we have a few new items that arrived just today. They are in the back, do you want to see them?' he asked. Tae and Kai gasped and nodded immediately. Mr Choi gestured them to follow him to the back of the shop. Soobin would've rather stayed where he was or left, but Kai grabbed his arm and pulled him with themselves, probably already knowing what his plan was and not letting him escape the situation.

As they arrived to the storage in the back of the shop, Kai and Taehyun immediately went on their own ways, beginning to take a look at the newly arrived formal clothes.

'Look at this! Oh my, I'm in love, I need to get this... Wait, no, this one! It's much better!'

'And how about that? It would...'

'Come on, Soobinie' said suddenly Soobin's Dad and gestured him over to where he was standing. Soobin followed him to one of the counters where a lot of stuff were on display. His Dad grabbed a gift box, similar to the one the boy he ran into was carrying, and he put it on the table. Soobin looked at him before opening it, curiosity getting the best of him. A neatly folded suit was inside with all its pieces: jacket, shirt, pants and tie.

'I ordered this specifically for you' said his Dad. Soobin looked at him and sighed.

'Where's the trap?' His Dad smiled at him knowingly and Soobin groaned a little. 'You want me to go to the party, don't you?'

'Soobin please... just this one school dance. Just this once, please, live a little! Go out and have fun with people other than... them' his Dad looked in Kai's and Tae's direction. The two were currently busy trying on tiaras that were there for weddings. Soobin looked back at the containment of the box and caressed the fabric with his fingers.

'I need to try it on to see if it's worth it' he said finally, making his father's eyes light up.
