dress up

Envious.

That's what she feels when she says two girls playing dress up and doing make up and wearing pretty dresses and all.

She sighs and feels a hand playing with her hair.

She looks at Vincenzo who looks mesmerized as he twirls her hair that is tied into a pony and watches them fall.

And then when she catches him staring, he withdraws his hand and looks away, embarrassed.

It is then she has an idea.

"Let's play dress up." She declares.

He looks at her, confused.

"I am a boy, Cha Young-ah..."

Her brows furrow at this.

"I know." She slaps his shoulder.

"You like playing with my hair...I'll play with yours, it's simple."

She says as she runs her fingers through his short hair.

He holds her arm gently, stopping her movements.

"You should ask those girls to play with you, you even have those things you put on your nails." He tries to refuse her.

"Nail Polish?"

He nods and smiles.

"Yes. That."

She looks at him before getting off her seat and Joo Hyeong thinks, he's finally persuaded her when she says—

"No."

His smile is wiped off his face.

"I want to play dress up with you."

And then she tugs at his arm, almost making him lose his balance as he follows her stumbling, his arms grasped tightly by her tiny hands.

They make it to their room, and it is then she withdraws her hand.

Then, she walks to her bed and drags a stool which was under it to the mirror.

"Sit here." She tells him and then goes to the little table they share which has their toys and accessories.

He watches her from the mirror as she takes out different headbands, multi-colored ponies, and clips from a little pouch.

And then she opens another pouch which contains tiny bottles of things Joo Hyeong vaguely remembers—Cha Young applies on her lips, sometimes, when she wears her favorite dresses.

He watches her take her time to choose a color and then settles for a scarlet shade.

He lets out a sigh of relief as she comes to him with all the accessories in hand.

Thank God, no nail polish.

She smiles at him before sitting on the ground and placing all the things around her neatly.

And then she starts brushing his hair.

He looks at her as she brushes all his hair till they're on his forehead.

And when she's done, placing the brush on the ground before standing up with a red colored pony in her hand.

She takes all his hair and bunches them between her fingers before tying them with the pony.

Joo Hyeong feels heat rushing to his cheeks for some reason.

Once done, she smiles widely looking at him while squishing his cheeks.
