Mr. Flirty [Song Mingi X Reader]

Ch 20: Preparing for a massive glow up

Hana's POV:

"Where- Where are we going?" I asked Ms. Haneul. "To trial some gowns for the event" she said & I was shocked. I never even wore a short dress let alone gowns. I even went to my prom in a suit & that's why no guy asked me out.

"Here we are. That's the changing room. Let me bring the dresses for you" she said & left me alone. A few minutes later Mr. Flirty came & took a sit on the nearby couch. "This place is soothing, right?" he asked me. I just rolled my eyes. "Sorry to keep you waiting" she came with a bunch of gowns of different styles & colors. "He chose all of these for you. Care to give trial?" she said & picked out one from them. "Uh... How many are there exactly?" I asked. "23" he said while sitting in figure four-lock pose. I looked at him with jaw dropped. He pulled out his phone & started scrolling through it. Ms. Haneul looked at me with a grin. I smiled slightly at her & took the dress from her. I stood on the raised platform with the dress when she closed the curtains. I hate my damn life now!

*After more than an hour*

"Are you being serious? You can't choose any of these 22 dresses?" I said with gritted teeth. Ms. Haneul went out to get a call. He walked around me. "That should be the last" he said & got off. I looked at him with fire in my eyes. "Oh sorry to keep you waiting. Here take it" she said & pulled a kind of white dress. "It's not a wedding gown. It's a bit off-white color & one of my favourites, honestly" she said & handed me the dress then closed the curtains again.

I was putting off my current dress when his phone rang. "I'm coming" he said & the ringtone of the phone faded away. I slipped into the dress & adjusted before zipping it up. "Are you done? Shall I open the curtains?" she asked. "Yes, please" I said & she immediately pulled the curtains. Her eyes widened a bit with a brief smile. "None of my models were looking as good as you in that dress. If I'm being honest, this dress is meant to be wear by you" she complimented. I let out a chuckle. "Thank you. To be honest, I wasn't supposed to come-" I was interrupted by her, "I know, I know everything. You are..." she dropped her voice to whisper, "Mingi's pretend girlfriend, right?" "Y-Yeah. How do you know that?" "Mingi told San. San told me" "So he shares everything with his friends?" "Not all friends, San & Mingi have been knowing each other since high school. So yeah! They trust each other way too much like they almost give their bank account's password to each other. That kind of trust." I chuckled. "I think this dress will look great with untied hair. You mind...?" she said. I hesitantly pulled my hair tie to leave it open & swept some hair to the front on my left side. She raises her eyebrows with a smile. "You look so gorgeous!" she complimented again. "Thank you" I said & smiled slightly. 

"Are you do-" he stopped in the mid-way after noticing me. "Umm... I will see it I have any kind of nice... jewelry to wear with this. Excuse me" she said & left us alone. He is still standing in the same position, not moving an inch. His mouth a bit ajar & eyes busy in checking me from head to toe. "You look..." he paused & came near me. "Freaking hot!" he said & walked around me once & finally got down of the platform. He checked me again & bit the corner of his lower lip. I withdrew my attention from him & looked around. "You want to check yourself in the mirror?" he asked raising an eyebrow. Let me see myself on the mirror since they are saying I look good on this. He offered a hand to me but I ignored. I lift up the dress bit to get down but unknowingly I grabbed his hand to get down. I withdrew my hand awkwardly the moment I noticed. "See you can't refuse it" he said & gave me some space to check myself on the mirror. It doesn't look bad though. Moreover, it exposes the curves of my body so damn perfectly. Through the reflection I saw that he is still checking me on with a sly grin on his face. "Now you are behaving like a pervert" I said with a cold voice while starring at his reflection. "I'm not~ You are just looking way too good to move my eyes from you" he said. "Sorry~ To keep you waiting. I just found some necklaces that would definitely look beautiful with this dress" she came up with two staffs holding four boxes of different types of necklaces hanging on each. I looked at him once then at the box. He beckoned me to have a look at them. "I chose the dress for you now you choose the jewelry items" he said. I looked through the boxes carefully & chose a necklaces to try. But it doesn't look that good. "How about this one?" he said & took a different piece of necklace & approached me. He gently swiped my hair from the back to the front & put the necklace on me. His finger brushed against my neck that made my eyes widened. "I never knew you had such a great fashion taste, Mingi. It looks so pretty on her" Ms. Haneul said. I looked at the mirror again. It actually does. "These two?" she asked in a low voice & he just nodded. She beckoned him to follow her & they left. I carefully put off the necklace & went to change.

*After changing*

I lazily walked around & got astonished by the amount of artwork hanging all over the store. She is truly talented. "Are you done here?" he spoke suddenly out of nowhere that made me jump off a bit. "Yeah. I'm done" I said & followed him out the store. 

"What was all that?" I asked while walking behind him a bit. He just shrugged. "Stop ghosting me. I didn't promise to break your nose in the car yesterday, it was just jaw" I said angrily. We walked into an elevator. "Small gifts from me... to present you as... Song Mingi's girlfriend in the gala" he said & looked up. "'Pretend' girlfriend" I corrected. "Same th-" I interrupted him, "That's not same thing!" I said with gritted teeth. He cleared his throat & finally we got off the elevator & walked towards the car parked outside the mall. As usual he opened the door of passenger seat for me & I slide in then went to his seat.

*After an hour or more*

He pulled over in front of my apartment & said, "Sorry to force you to wear a gown like that." I looked at him but he avoided my gaze & slowly unbuckled the seat belt. "Someone just said something bad about you that I really couldn't stand so... I personally felt the necessity to make you center of attention there" he said. I starred at his dashboard nonchalantly for some moments. "Just a question... Your friend Bora... is also going, right?" I asked & he nodded. "Bye & good night" I said & left. "Bye-" he said & I closed the door.

I walked towards the elevator with deep thoughts. Now that's a concern that his friend is going & my hunch says that the 'someone' he mentioned is none other than this Bora. Before I make the men's jaw drop, I should make hers first. I smirked to myself & got into the elevator.
