"please tell me you are joking." i crossed my arms teasing siwon, "do i look like i am?"
"come on, you know i hate following you to go shopping!" i sticked my tongue out, "well, i'm sorry, dealing with a girl while shopping is so annoying and i ain't in a mood to do that! so i need you as my companion."
"jieun darling!" siwon's mom, called out from the back. i pushed siwon aside and gave her a peck and a hug. "been pretty long i met you mrs choi, everything okay?" she gave a nod and flashed her beautiful smile.
"siwon, go put on some nicer clothes, you look homeless." mrs choi commented, which made her son pout and storm off to his room unwillingly.
after a while, he came in a simple outfit. white shirt and ripped jeans. dressed just like every teen girl's dream boyfriend.
"goodbye ma, take good care." siwon hugged his mom, while i waved to her.
"just one last question, are you both dating?" my face swelled up when i heard that, siwon took note how shy i got and quickly told his mom to go in.
he cleared his throat, "lets go?" i smile and look up to him, "yeah, lets go."
"so what's the catch?" siwon spoke. i scanned through some clothing racks, when i picked out a simple striped shirt.
"nothing, i just decided to go to hyukjae's wedding." siwon's eyebrows moved up rapidly, "you sure?" i stopped staring at clothes and finally looked at him. "yes, i am dad."
he chuckled, "well if you needed a new dress, this isn't the place to go to." i shrugged, "but i'm a broke bitch, what can i do? i'll just wear that." i pointed to the mannequin just behind siwon, it was wearing a white dress filled with lace on the shoulder area, the length of the dress was just above the knees.
"i can pair that with some accessories and done. that'd look fancy enough."
siwon was horrified. "you're kidding right? its THE wedding, its hyukjae's wedding! its like the royal wedding." i rolled my eyes, "they shouldn't have invited me then."
he approached me, grabbed me to the nearest bench outside H&M. "do you really think he wanted to invite you to his own wedding? i'm pretty sure mina wanted to. she is literally asking for the recipe of chaos."
a boutique caught his eyes, i knew as i followed his sight. "i'm bringing you there, you deserve to be treated like a princess." i felt so secure when he said that, siwon was definitely someone i could rely on. what if he was something more?
my thoughts get cut off as siwon told me to hurry, i smiled and hugged him by the waist as we walked into the boutique.

"baby, how do i look?" mina asked again. "you look good." i mindlessly said as i stared towards my phone, checking on my schedule.
mina stomped towards me, snatched away my phone. "look at me! you're always on the damn phone." i snatched it back, and she crossed her arms, getting angry.
she went back into the dressing room, wanting to try on another wedding dress. i look at the time. 1.48p.m. it had already been half an hour since we were here, i let out a sigh.
"stop it!" i heard a familiar voice. i turn my head, and there jieun was, wearing a pretty short length dress that had intricate designs. i saw siwon there, teasing her by taking multiple photos of her. can't blame him, that is something i'd do as well.
i definitely wanted to approach her, but was scared that i could ruin the happy mood they had. mina finally came out the dressing room, but was frustrated when she saw jieun and siwon just across.
i could not stop her as she walked so fast towards them, which made jieun look down and siwon, guarding her. i finally make my way towards them, wanting to take mina away.
"i'm sorry guys, carry on." i took hold of mina's wrist firmly, and said goodbye to them. siwon just gave off a slight smile while there were tears forming in jieun's eyes when she saw me take hold of mina's hands.
all i could say in my mind was, "jieun please do not take this the wrong way. i've never stopped loving you." but those were words i could never say daringly out loud.
i hurried mina when she was finally satisfied with which wedding dress she picked, and quickly sent her home.
all i wanted to do was get home and lay in bed, while staring up into the ceiling without any thoughts. it was an easy way to kill time.
