Running his hands through the silky white fabric, Sunghoon stares intently at his phone, smiling cheesily as he re-reads the old texts, desperately waiting for Sunoo to respond and his sister doesn't seem too pleased about it.

"Eyes up here, little man," Yeji tuts, shaking her leg which signals Sunghoon to let go of her dress and pay attention instead of sitting there idle. "Who are you texting anyways?" she struggles to snatch her brother's phone, but it seems he's keener on continuing to message this person rather than protect his phone.

"I'm here, isn't that enough?" Sunghoon smiles whimsically at his phone before typing something quickly which finally gives Yeji a second to snatch away his phone.

Shutting it off and handing it to Umjii, her best friend, she leans down to his level from the platform. "Uh no it isn't." her wide fake smile is enough to tether Sunghoon back into his flat reality, missing the flutter in his head that was just present.

He's too busy mopping to notice his sister going through his phone. "Sunoo - really?" she groans and tosses Sunghoon his phone again, a spark of a smile almost immediately inflicted on his lips when he catches the device. "Fine, but just try to pay attention."

"I brought mum here as well," Sunghoon points out as he waves a finger to which Yeji can't argue.

"Thanks again for that," She pats his head softly which would usually cause the older male to let out a nasty retort at him, but it seems he leans into her touches.

Suddenly, Sunghoon pulls his head away and lowers his phone. "I don't understand why you would bring me here - isn't the dress fitting usually for the women in the family?"

Yeji shakes her head and looks around absentmindedly. "I don't have any sisters and Dante is an only child so no in-laws either-"


"Thank god-"

"Oh, shut up!" She bags the end of her fist on Sunghoon's head who simply rolls his eyes, finally tucking his phone into his pocket. "But see, now that I don't have any other female family - I thought I should bring you here!" she opens her arms wide before placing them on her hips, stepping down from the platform which makes Sunghoon taller than her.

"I've got the final three options - they're just fitting them and making the small adjustments so don't worry it won't be long before you can run back into your lover's arms-"

"Shut. Up." Sunghoon seethes, bumping shoulders with his younger sister who can't help but laugh.

"Who knows - maybe next year you'll be in my position-"

"What?" Sunghoon chokes out, clearly startled, as he backs away slowly. He fumbles onto one of the seats provided at the dress parlour.

Yeji slaps his back teasingly and nods hurriedly. "You're such a kid sometimes, Hoon," she laughs warmly and bumps their shoulders a final time before she switches her tone. "You did ask him out, right?"

At that, Sunghoon cringes and turns away. His face becomes bright red as he lowers his head. "Something like that..."

"Sunghoon?" Yeji gently raises her voice as well as her eyebrows when she sets a hand on his shoulder closest to her.

"I kissed him alright!" He snaps finally perhaps it was because he was unable to contain himself or maybe it was just the pressure of it all, but he finally let it spill to someone.

Yeji simply stares at him blankly before squealing, taking Sunghoon's shoulders into her hands and shaking him like rattle doll. "You did what?" she's practically exclaiming but the dressing parlours are too busy arguing with their mother whilst Umjii tries to reason with them. "I'm so proud of you, Hoon," she ruffles his hair once again and this time Sunghoon pushes her away, curling into himself.
