"How's this?"  Ji-na asked as she twirled in the light pink dress she was trying on.

"It's so girlish and pretty...the complete opposite of you," Seungcheol teased. Ji-na glared at him.

"Jeonghan-oppa? Does it really look that bad? Hangyeol and I are going out for dinner with some friends, so I wanted to get a new dress," Ji-na pouted.

"Do you even have enough money for it?" Seungcheol questioned.

"It shouldn't be too expensive, right? Mom gave me a little bit of extra money for the dinner before she left," Ji-na said. "Oh, look, here's the tag."

"How much is it? Ji-na, you know it's not good to spend too much," Seungcheol reprimanded her.

"Don't worry, I'm putting it back," Ji-na replied bitterly. "If I got this dress with what's left of my allowance, I wouldn't have any money left for dinner."

"How much is it?" Jeonghan asked hesitantly.

"65,000 Won," Ji-na answered disappointedly.

"Let me see how much I have...oh, here. I have enough. Here, take this," Jeonghan offered, holding out a 50,000 bill, two 10,000 bills, and a 5,000 bill. "The sales tax will probably increase the price to about 72,000 Won, so just give me whatever change you get back."

"Jeonghan, you don't have to do this," Seungcheol protested, pushing Jeonghan's hand back.

"I agree with him, Jeonghan-oppa. It's fine, really," Ji-na said as she shook her head.

"You look nice in it though. You like it, right? Don't worry about the price, I rarely spend too much money anyways. I have enough left," Jeonghan smiled.

"I couldn't," Ji-na refused. "I'm going to go change back into my outfit."

Jeonghan, Seungcheol, and Seungpo waited patiently as Ji-na changed. Jeonghan sang along to the store's music softly and with a bright smile as Seungpo moved to the beat cutely. He giggled when Seungpo accidentally hit Seungcheol with one of his flailing arms in an attempt to dance.

"Your voice is really nice," Seungcheol muttered to Jeonghan when the long-haired boy had switched to clapping instead of singing. "Your singing voice, that is. Your normal voice is too, of course!"

"Thanks," Jeonghan chuckled.

"I'm done," Ji-na announced, stepping out of the dressing room with the pink dress in hand. Jeonghan quickly snatched the dress out of Ji-na's hands and ran towards the cash register, slightly out of breath when he got there.

"Hello," he breathed out, handing the dress over. "Only this, please."

"Of course, Sir. That'll be 71,500 Won, please," the employee smiled politely. Jeonghan got out his wallet and handed her the money.

"Jeonghan, what are you doing?!" Seungcheol exclaimed, one hand holding onto Seungpo's tightly. Ah, that explained why Seungcheol took so long to catch up to him.

"I'm buying your little sister a gift," Jeonghan responded cheekily. The employee slid over the bag with the dress in it and handed Jeonghan his change. "Thank you!"

"Have a nice day! Thank you for shopping here!" the employee called out as Jeonghan, Seungcheol, and Seungpo walked to Ji-na.

"Jeonghan-oppa...you really didn't have to do that," Ji-na said honestly.

"I wanted to. Just think of it as a gift," Jeonghan told her.

"Thank you so much!" Ji-na beamed, crushing Jeonghan in a hug.
