Gwen's POV

Guanlin was awfully nice the whole day. After eating, he brought me to an arcade in which we made a bet as to who could kill the most zombies in one game. And guess what? I won.

"Unfair!! You're good at this and I'm not!" He protested

"I'm not that good at this... you're just horrible"

"YA!!"

I laughed as I grabbed his arm and brought him to a costume shop. I scanned through the racks of clothing until I found the perfect one.

"I'm not wearing that" He said

"Aw come on, we made a bet and you lost!"

"Can't you find anything else that's not revealing?"

"Sailor Moon's outfit isn't that revealing..." I mumbled while returning the costume I got to the rack and continued to find something that would suit him.

"What about this?" I asked and he stood up from his seat

He checked it and sighed. "It's pink" He stated and I frowned.

I already knew what he was going to say next so I was about to take the costume from his hands but he raised it upwards

"Alright, I'll wear it.... but..." He started walking around and pulled out another costume

"You wear this" He showed me another costume and I scrunched my eyebrows

"Why would I? You're the one who lost"

"Just because" He said then pushed me to the nearest changing room "Get changed"

I sighed. There was really no point in arguing because he practically just left me right after he said that.

What Guanlin wants, Guanlin gets I guess.

A few minutes later, I heard some shuffling and voices from outside

'Hey look at that guy, he looks so handsome!"

'He looks like a real prince, i want to go and introduce myself'

'Is he an actor?'

'Ya, he might have a girlfriend though'

'But she's not here so we can just—

"Ya, Gwen. Are you coming out or are you gonna sleep there?" I rolled my eyes and opened the door. He didn't say anything as he stared at me

"What now?" I asked and that seem to have made him come back to his senses

"Now we go and walk around the streets" He told me and my eyes widened

"Are you crazy?! Fans are going to recognize you!" I whispered. It was bad enough that he was walking around without any form of disguise and now he suggests that we walk around while wearing costumes

"So?"

"What do you mean 'so?' ?! You're gonna--"

He shook his head then suddenly grabbed my hand and started pulling me out the door

"S-stop!"

"We're going to borrow these costumes for awhile, miss!" He told the sales person and she nodded

As we walked outside I realized that we were not the only ones with costumes. This must be why he's so confident to walk around wearing it.

"See? We're fine" He told me "I'm the foreigner here yet I'm the one who knows how it's normal to wear costumes in this area..."

"Excuse me, It wasn't long before I came back from the US" I told him and he just rolled his eyes

"But you were still born here, and I wasn't"

I sighed. There really was no way of winning an argument with this guy. We then passed by a street filled with cherry blossom trees and my eyes immediately got filled with excitement

"You really like it so much?" He asked and I nodded while looking at the trees around us

"It's so beautiful" I said out of nowhere. I heard him mumble something while looking at me but as soon as my gaze went to his direction, he immediately looked away.

I was too excited to see all the cherry blossoms so I decided to just shrug it off
