Being the centre of attention was never something you were or ever have been good at.

However, the centre of attention was exactly what you were right now as you walked through the shopping aisle of the closest mall next to you. Your once white dress sags through the floors sweeping up more dirt and grime than it already had. Your heels that you once admired click obnoxiously loudly against the tiles beneath you. All you can do is lower your head and try to ignore the whispers and stares you get from the people around you and try hard to ignore the tears that are now pooling in your eyes and the growing nauseousness in your stomach.

The feeling is so sadly familiar. It's the feeling of wanting to run away.
Again.

You're so absorbed in blocking people out that you don't even notice the voice call out from ahead of you. "Umm...Miss?"
You look up.
Her eyes soften upon seeing your terrified ones.
"I..umm...need some..umm..cl-clothes..please."
Your words begin to fail and you bite your tongue in frustration.
The lady smiles and you swore you saw a halo of light above her head.

"Why don't you go wait over there and I'll get some clothes for you to try on?"
You look at the changing rooms she points to and you nod vigorously, telepathically screaming your gratitude towards her. You practically run to the rooms, eager to be out of everyone's eye sight.

Once you make your way to one of the rooms, you notice the odd layout of the store. The men's rooms were parallel to the ladies. It made you frown slightly but at this point you don't really care. You walk into a changing room and shut the door behind you sliding down to the floor, bringing your knees to your chest and leaning your forehead against them.

Nervous tears begin dribbling down your cheeks and you bite the side of your index finger to keep yourself from making a noise. After a while you hear a familiar voice.

"Miss? Are you there?"
You get to your knees and open the door, peeking your head out and nearly gasping in relief.

The lady had a mesh bag in her hand filled with clothes. You reach your hand out and take the bag from here, bowing and thanking her multiple times as you do. She smiles and even chuckles slightly and for some reason heat rises to your cheeks.

You immediately shut the door behind you and then look at your dress.

"Umm..excuse me?"
"Yes Miss?"
"I...umm...need..some.."
"Of course."

After she comes in she stares at your dress and you feel yourself mentally willing your form to shrink.
She sighs and moves to your back and places her hands on the zipper, pulling it down.

"Wish I had a dress like that.", she mutters, faint but inaudible.

You flinch when the zipper reaches the middle of your back and immediately your turn around. She frowns at you and realises before bowing slightly, still frowning slightly and leaves.
"I'll be outside if you need me."
You nod.

Sighing out, you skinny out of your dress and slip into the clothes next to you which happen to be a loose white full sleeve and a pair of jeans and a hoodie. As for shoes she had got a pair of Timberlands. Your favourite.

Thinking she really was an angel you begin undoing your hair, one bobby pin at a time before finally your long fawn hair falls of your shoulders and reaches your mid back, mint blue streaks running through it.

You take your fingers through it and sigh. You then fold up your dress and suddenly a thought occurs  to you.
You sigh and pick up the bag and open the door.

"Oh wow! You look great, Miss!", she says, her voice rehearsed and her smile clearly fake. You wonder how this didn't never was visible before.

Instead of protesting, you shove the dress into her hands.
"I know it's in bad condition..."
"It's gorgeous..", she whispers, her eyes shine as she does.
You sigh.
She looks up to protest and holds the dress further but you can tell she's hesitant to be doing so.

"Just take it.", you whisper.
And you leave.

At the cashier you dump the bag of clothes on the desk with much difficulty. You can see her eyes widen and a couple words escape her mouth. You pretend to ignore her reaction and wait patiently until she's done. Counting the beeps the scanner makes.
After at least ten minutes she's done.

"That will be 190,566 won, please."
The lady sounds incredulous as she recites the price.
"What will be your method of payment?"
You think for a moment.
"Cash."
Her eyes widen even more.
You fish out something from your new pockets. A stack of notes. You place them on the table and grab your bag of clothes.
"Keep the change.", you mumble and leave, rejoicing the silence your shoes made when they made contact with the ground.

Finally looking like a normal person you decide you need to take a tad bit more caution and decide to visit a medically store.

You are grateful for the visit as you adjust your newly bought black mask over your face so that it rests just below your eyes, covering the rest of your face.

As you do so, your eyes come into contact with a familiar head of hair. Of course it's harder to to recognise him after seeing him in a fine, lux tux but the look he currently supported didn't earn any complaints. He was wearing a lose button-up white full sleeve along with a pair blue denim jeans and tan pair of Timberlands.

You smile at the similarity between yours and his outfits but it fades when you see someone else next to him. A familiar head full or orange hair, looping his arms and dragging him across the mall eagerly.

"Yah, Kookie! Hurry up!"

There's no way...there's no possible way...

The next sentence you hear causes your heart to literally pop.

"Park Jimin! Stop moving so flipping fast!"
