What are we?

Jihyo's eyes sparkled with excitement as she spotted the perfect dress. "Oh my gosh, Jeongie, you have to see this!" she exclaimed, clutching the black silk dress. It was a stunning piece, with a long sleeve, turtleneck, and a soft drape over the shoulder. Jihyo's heart raced with anticipation.

Jeongyeon, her face a mix of curiosity and doubt, approached the dress. "Do you think it would look good on me?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Jihyo nodded emphatically. "Absolutely! It'll be stunning on you." Without waiting for a response, she gently placed the dress on Jeongyeon. As the fabric fell gracefully over her body, Jihyo's excitement grew.

Jeongyeon looked down at herself, surprised by how the dress accentuated her figure. The soft silk draped elegantly over her curves, and the long sleeves added a touch of sophistication. She couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence.

"It's beautiful," she murmured, her voice barely audible.

Jihyo beamed. "I knew it would be! You look absolutely gorgeous." She twirled Jeongyeon around, admiring the way the dress moved with her.

"I don't know if I can pull it off," Jeongyeon said, still hesitant.

Jihyo chuckled. "Of course you can! You're stunning. And besides, confidence is key." She helped Jeongyeon adjust the dress, smoothing out any wrinkles.

As Jeongyeon looked in the mirror, she couldn't deny that Jihyo was right. She felt beautiful, empowered, and ready to take on the world.

Jihyo's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I'll get this for you," she declared, reaching into her purse. "Mina would love to see you in it."

Jeongyeon raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her eyes. "Mina?" she repeated, her tone playful.

Jihyo's face flushed. She'd almost slipped up! "I mean, she'd definitely agree that it looks great on you," she stammered, trying to recover.

Jeongyeon chuckled, her eyes softening. "I'm sure she would. But I think it's a bit too much for a semi-formal outing." She glanced down at the dress, which was undeniably elegant.

Jihyo pouted. "But it's so perfect!" She tried to convince Jeongyeon, her voice filled with pleading. "Just think about how you'll feel when you're wearing it."

Jeongyeon sighed. She knew Jihyo was right. The dress was beautiful, and she couldn't deny that she was tempted. But she also wanted to be comfortable.

"Maybe we could find something a little more casual?" she suggested, her voice tentative.

Jihyo's face fell. She'd been so excited about this dress. But she didn't want to push Jeongyeon. "Of course," she said, trying to sound cheerful. "We can look around. But you know, why would you settle for something comfortable? Why don't you take a risk? It could be your perfect match." Jihyo stated wiggling hed brows.

Jeongyeon furrowed her brows at the insinuation in Jihyo's voice, "We're still talking about the dress, aren't we?"

Jihyo shrugged, "Maybe, or maybe not." The girl stated then faced Jeongyeon, "Whatever you think it is."

Jeongyeon furrowed her brows even more, what?

Anyway, On second thought, Jeongyeon decided. "Okay, let's get it." Jihyo clapped her hands in delight. "Great choice!" she exclaimed.

As they walked towards the cashier, Jeongyeon couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. She was stepping outside her comfort zone, but she was also looking forward to the adventure.

Jeongyeon waited at the school gates, since Nayeon does not want her to go through the trouble of renting a cab just to fetch her from SNU, even if the football player's father is a cab driver.
