He got off work early to buy the Princess' necessities.
Hesitantly, he made a quick turn to the aisle that sells women pads. He stared at all of the colorful packages with his eyebrows creased in confusion. When the Princess said pads, she didn't even mention which one. How is he going to choose? He doesn't want to come back to buy another one if he got it wrong.
He sighed and glanced at his surroundings before grabbing a purple collar package from the bottom of the shelf. He analysed the beautiful fonts on the packaging.
"There are 40 of them..."he mumbled to himself. "Probably this one."he thought to himself. "Should I buy a box of them?"
He felt someone's eyes on him, so he looked up to see an elder staring at him from the right. The elder woman just shook her head in dismay and mumbled something about pedophiles these days. Baekhyun lowered his head, this is so embarrassing.
"What are you doing with these?"the elder asked as she walked towards him.
"Ah? I was buying these for someone."he said, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"For your girlfriend?"she asked, clasping her hands together.
"Err...yeah."
"Young man, you seem confused about what to buy."she said, glancing at the purple packaging in his hand. "Pantiliners are for women who doesn't wear their underwear when they don't want to let other people see the outline of their panties."she chuckled. "Are you trying to buy the ones for periods?"she asked.
"Periods?"he paused. "Oh yeah, that one. The one that comes and goes every month. You know."he said awkwardly, feeling proud that he knows at least a little bit about women's periods.
"You should buy this one then."she said, grabbing a larger package in pink and putting it in his hands. "Is your girl thin or plump?"she asked.
"Slim."he replied, visioning how thin Taeyeon looks. "And short in height."he added, just in case that piece of information is helpful in buying pads.
"Hmm...then this pink one will do."the elder woman said and grabbed another green package which Baekhyun is very confuse with. "This one is for overnight."she explained.
"Ah...thanks for helping me out."he was grateful that this elder woman came to his rescue.
"No problem, no go back to your girlfriend and don't let her wait any longer."she said, patting him in the back before continuing her way.
He faked a smile at her and placed the packages in the basket. He proceeded to the counter to check out his items. When he was about to pay, he stopped and asked the cashier, "Can I have a 6 months supply of both of these?"
"That will be two boxes of them sir."the cashier said.
"I will have two boxes of them then."he said. "And can you use other boxes aside from pads to put them in? I want it to be a surprise for my girlfriend, so I don't want to let her know that it is pads inside."he lied.
"Erm...sure."the cashier said and went back to get the empty boxes that were used for toilet papers. After paying for everything, he left the store with two huge boxes in his arms. A thunder bolt suddenly striked a tree nearby.
"Why does it have to be raining now?"he groaned, looking up at the sky. "I will buy those color pencils another time."he mumbled to himself.

It's evening now and Taeyeon was expecting Baekhyun to be back as the sky is getting really dark. After waiting for the door to open for half an hour, she gave up and went to the bathroom to wash her own clothes.
