"You take longer to shop than my mom," Scarlett stated as Yanjun looked through the clothing racks of his favorite store.

"I told you you didn't have to come with me. I would've just dropped you off at school," he replied not looking up from his shopping.

"You basically begged me to come with your over exaggerated sighs and rolling on my bed. You couldn't pick your own clothes," Scar narrowed her eyes at him who tried to hide his smirk.

"I just brought you along for opinion. And don't act like you really thought about it. You wanted to come along. It took you one second to agree."

"Yeah right."

"Crimson, you calling me a liar?"

"A big fat liar? Yes, yes I am." She insisted as she walked around to stand beside him. She watched as he pulled another shirt off the rack and added it to the other clothes he set aside for himself. "You should just admit it. It's okay if you wanted me to tag along. I'm sure it was just to keep me away from Vin."

"And why would I do that," Yanjun raised an eyebrow turning to her and slightly leaning on the rack. "You prefer women, don't you? There's no need for me to keep you away because you won't date him."

Yanjun thought this, but he also thought of how Ruibin had himself all over Scarlett and he didn't like it one bit. Scarlett was his friend after all, his girl friend which was normal for him not to like it because that's how it is with girl (space) friends and guy friends. They don't like other people touching their friends, right? At least that's what Yanjun thought.

And as for Scarlett, his statement was true, but Scarlett didn't like Ruibin like that either. She wasn't attracted to him in that setting even though he was indeed, very handsome.

"C'mon then, Crimson. I should go try these on since I'm taking so long," Yanjun said seeing she wasn't going to say anything else. Her held his choice of clothes in his hands and led the way to the dressing rooms. Before they got there, he stopped abruptly, causing Scarlett to run face first into his back.

"Ow," Scarlet whined taking a step back and rubbing her hurt nose. "Why the heck did you stop?"

"How do you think that will look on me," Yanjun asked pointing to a mannequin wearing a pink and yellow camo track suit with white detailing.

"Are you kidding me? You stopped for that," Scar asked, slightly groaning.

Yanjun looked over his shoulder at her, "just answer the question."

Scarlett let go of her nose and looked at the mannequin. She thought it was a pretty ugly design, but thought of Yanjun. "It's ugly, but you can pull off anything so it would be nice on you."

A grin set on Yanjun's face when she said this.

"I hate to break it to you, Crimson," he sighed pivoting to face her. She had to take a step back to create some distance between them, but he took a step towards her, towering over the girl. "But you just complimented me."

"You compliment me by staring at me all the time, Yanjun. It's the least I could do," Scarlett smiled patting her hand on his chest. She quickly side stepped him afterwards and walked towards the fitting room on her own as Yanjun blinked at the spot she once stood.

She noticed, he thought to himself.

15 minutes later

"Yes or no," Yanjun asked fixing the shirt that he had just put on. Scarlett sat right outside of his fitting room, her phone in her hand texting someone. When she looked up, she saw he was wearing a red t-shirt with holes around the bottom.

"You can literally make that shirt," Scarlett answered him pointing a finger at the holes.

"Not answering my question, Red."

"Okay, okay. I like it, Janyun," she emphasized and he nodded before going back into the fitting room that had a door that was only really a black curtain.

Scarlett's phone vibrated in her hand and she quickly unlocked it to see the message.

from: fairy princess
He hasn't asked about you,
but if he does I'll let you know.
I'm happy you're safe there.
I'm not sure what would've happened
if you stayed.

to: fairy princess
thanks, fairy. it means a lot to me.
i miss you guys though.
visit soon.

As soon as Scarlett hit send, she sighed in relief and placed her phone in the pocket of her sweater.

"Thank you so much, Yunyu. I don't know what I would've done without you here."

"No problem. My class got cancelled anyways," a familiar voice said, making Scarlett's head snap to the source. Her eyes widened as she saw a familiar dark haired girl placing a lanyard around her neck.

Scarlett instantly shot to her feet and pushed a curtain back before entering a fitting room. Scarlett ran a hand through her hair as she turned her body and pressed her back against the cold wall.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

After a couple of breaths she looked over and her face began to burn. Her eyes popped out of her head as she saw Yanjun standing with his back facing her and his torso exposed. Yanjun was shirtless. He wasn't paying attention, until he looked in the mirror.

"Crimson," he chuckled turning to her. "I didn't expect you to be a pervert."

"Yan-"

"A lot of girls wish they could be in your position," he smirked moving towards her. Because the space was so small, he quickly stood right in front of her. However, Scarlett didn't look anywhere, but his eyes and he noticed. "It's okay, Crimson. I don't affect you...remember?"

Scarlett immediately forgot what she was supposed to tell Yanjun. She was too distracted by the look in his eyes and his closeness. He towered over her once again, but this time his hand touched her waist. His other was against the wall above her and to the side, supporting him as he leaned into her.

His eyes searched hers as he tilted his head and she stayed still. He flickered down to her lips as she bit the bottom.

Yanjun no longer had a smirk on his face. Seeing Scarlett like this actually made him want to kiss her even more than before. He wouldn't admit it, but all those times they flirted he wanted to kiss her because he was so attracted to her. Now, he was even more attracted to her because he was able to see who she was on a deeper level.

Yanjun leaned closer, their lips centimeters apart. Until the curtain was once again pulled back.

"Excuse me. Two people aren't supposed to...be in the-the same fitting...room."
