#167 "The Fashion Terrorist"

Minghao, my famous friend asked me to go shopping with him. He wanted to help a friend of his, named Dino.

"Why did you asked me to come with you if you already have someone to shop with?" I asked to my friend who is currently in charge of driving.

"You know how to style someone better than I," Minghao answered, turning the wheel to park his car.

"So you dragged me here so I can style up your friend?" I took off my seatbelt and put some lipstick.

"Exactly," he responded before wearing his shades.

"Idiot. What will you do if your fans see us and turn this into a scandal?"

"Let them see. Carats won't misunderstand this. Because carats are my friend," he chuckled and went outside his car.

I followed him on the way to a very expensive designer's boutique.

"I am not a carat," I mumbled while walking beside him. "If carats are your friend, and I am your friend, but I am not a carat, what does it makes me?"

"A carrot," he teased.

I punched his shoulder and swear, "get lost."

"Ahhh," he winced in pain. "What a brutal girl. Tsk tsk."

In the middle of our fight, a guy approached us. "Myungho hyung," he greeted and met my gaze.

"Oh, Chan, you are already here. Did you already pick some clothes?" Minghao asked.

"Oh yeah yeah yeah. Ta-da! I picked this outfit a moment ago. What do you think?" the guy said in confidence. He even turned around like a princess doing a fashion show.

I scanned his outfit from head to toe: green jacket, black shirt, ripped tight jeans and white sneaker. What the... HE REALLY IS A FASHION TERRORIST! NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY MINGHAO WANTED ME TO DRESS THIS BRAT!

"Your taste GROSS. SUCKS," I said without hesitating.

The guy frowned and whispered at Minghao, "is she your friend? How dare she mocked me like that for our first meeting? Tsk. A really straight forward friend just like you hyung."

What the use of whispering if I can hear it well? Idiot.

Minghao chuckled. Ahuh, looks like he find this fun to watch. "Yow Dino, this is my carrot, I mean, my best friend, (y/n). (y/n), this is my co-member and the maknae (youngest) from our group, Dino."

Dino bowed at me and greeted, "Nice to meet you."

I rolled my eyes. "All I need is to pick clothes for him, right?" I asked Minghao.

"Yup yup," Minghao responded.

"I'll go pick some," I said and roamed around the shop. The two did the same.

While I am looking for some shirt, I suddenly remembered where I first met that guy named Dino.

It was... way back when I am in elementary. Ah! We were classmates before. He is that 'Lee Chan' who always danced in front of the class whenever our teacher asked him to. He looks like a cry baby before. But now he is a grown up... a grown up guy without any sense in fashion.

Does he remember me? I hope not. My elementary days are not good memories to reminisce.

After picking well-matched attires, I gave them all to Minghao and let Dino wears it. They liked it and praised me for getting the right outfits. And so...

"You can pick some dress for you. I'll buy it for thanking my dearest friend, " Minghao said and even offered me a high five.

"That's what I call 'real friendship' dude," I responded and gave a high five.

So I picked the most expensive items in this shop. Hohohoho *evil laugh*. It really is a blessing to have a rich friend. Amen!

Inside the dressing room, I looked at myself and checked if the dress suit me. Well, I liked it.

"Oh?"

When I am about to pull the back zipper down, my hair got stuck. Argh!

"Yah! Minghao! Are you there?! Help me. My hair stuck on the back zipper!" I shouted.

"H-Hyung went out to answer a call," some guy answered. Oh, it was Dino.

"Ahhh. Then, can you help me instead?"

"H-Huh? Are you sure?!"

"If you don't want to, then fine."

"No! I-I c-can help you. Ahem."

What's with his voice?

I slightly opened the door and the first thing I saw is his reddened face. Eh?

"If you excuse me," he mumbled and went inside.

I turned my back. "Here. Help me." Then I pointed my hair.

I can see his reflection from the mirror. He keeps on gulping before putting his trembling hands on my zipper.

Dino slowly pulled the zipper down. ~ksrshjkls~

"Did you already fixed my hair? Then thank y--"

Wait! WHY IS HE STILL PULLING THE ZIPPER DOWN ON THE WAY TO MY BUTT!?

"W-WAIT!" I stopped his arms with heavy breath.

And when I looked straight, I saw his pierce gaze on me from the reflection of the mirror.

"W-What..." I mumbled.

He put his lips near to my ear and he whispered, "I'm sorry. But never ask any guy to pull your zipper. Even it is Minghao hyung. You never know what men's instincts are."

He blew air to my bare shoulder, "Hoooooo~" I can goosebumps all over my body. Before I could react, he pulled the zipper up and leave me alone and speechless.

W-What was that?!

"She is not finish yet?" I heard Minghao from outside.

"Cute Piggy? Not yet," Dino answered.

He called me Cute Piggy.

Cute Piggy?

Ah!

That's right!

[flashback= years ago, back when Dino and I were in elementary

"Piggy! Piggy!" the kids teased me.

I was crying at the corner as they insulted me. Then, there was a boy who stood in between.

"Stop teasing her!" the boy shouted.

I looked up to see his face. But my vision is blurry because of the tears in my eyes.

"Yah, why are defending her? Do you like her? That fat pig! HAhahaha" the kids laughed.

"She is fat. But at least, she is cuter than any of you. She is my cute piggy. So get lost!"

He called me cute, and that's how my first love started.
