"Are you sure you put it the right way?" Shuzhen asked, fixing Zimo's blouse.

He was wearing a sailor moon costume and was waiting for the other boys who were planning to cosplay with him.

"Where are they?" Zimo asked, looking in the mirror.

"They're almost here," She replied. "Just stay still will you? I'm fixing your hair."

Zimo pouted, looking up at Shuzhen who was standing in front of him, "Is this gonna take long?"

Cute. But I'm not buying it. Shuzhen slapped his mouth, "Stay still,"

They were waiting for Da Crew since it was Jeffrey's birthday and they were planning to surprise him. Or scare him, the least.

There was a whole minute of silence before Zimo stood up and spoke, "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"What?" Shuzhen asked, putting down the excess hairpins on the table.

The girl turned around and met Zimo's eyes as the boy looked away, "Nevermind."

Shuzhen sighed, "Continue, Qin Zimo. I don't have all day,"

Zimo scratched his nape and looked at Shuzhen again, "D-did - did we - really - uhm - you know - "

"Ge, we're here!" The two of them flinched as soon as they heard Zuo Ye's voice, walking inside the room. "Oh, you were having a moment."

Shuzhen pushed Zimo away, "We were not. Now let's go - it's time for Jeffrey's party."

"Wait!" Zimo ran towards the door stopping them from going out. He glared at Zuo Ye's clothes, "WHY ARE YOU NOT WEARING THE SAILOR MOON COSTUME?!"

.·:*¨¨*:·. .·:*¨¨*:·.

"I can't believe this," Zimo muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. "I seriously cannot believe it."

Da Crew surprised Jeffrey in the weirdest way. Making Zimo, who was cosplaying, meet him at the front door.

Jeffrey who couldn't stop his laughs has been chuckling all day everytime he sees Zimo - since he's the only one wearing the costume.

"Just deal with it, Zimo," Mingzhu comments, eating some cake. "It's really not that bad."

"Not that bad?! I'm the only one wearing a skirt here!" Zimo exclaimed.

Yanchen suddenly arrived, trying hard not to laugh, "Did you wake up this morning and realized you were a girl?"

"Shut up Zhou Yanchen. I'm only doing this for Jeffrey - and that's it!"

Jeffrey who heard the conversation walked towards them, "Man, this party is amazing! Plus the egg decorations are really great. Thanks guys,"

"You have the boys to thank for that," Mingzhu says, "For the first time, they didn't mess up."

"See? I told you, us boys know how to be responsible," Yanchen boasts.

"Yeah but when it comes to promises, you guys are so easy to break it!" Zimo was still complaining making the three laugh.

Mingzhu patted his back, "Zimo, really, you could actually change upstairs,"

Zimo bit the inside of his cheek, "I can't do that."

"Well, why not?"

Zimo became silent as the three wait for his answer. He started whistling, ignoring their looks.

Jeffrey must've realized what he meant, "Hold on, you didn't bring clothes did you?!"

"Oh my god, Qin Zimo! What the hell????"
