"Okay." (Bbangnyu) ☑️

They still had a few days until the party which Younghoon's mother had asked him to bring his 'girlfriend' to. It wasn't going to be a lively party, more like those fancy ones that rich people have, where they invite their family and other rich families to create business ties and such.

The three boys, Younghoon, Changmin and Chanhee were currently wandering around clothes shops looking for something for Chanhee to wear that would look convincing.

"How about this?" Changmin said, holding up a green dress.

"No, that's too cheap-looking, my mom judges people by things like that." Younghoon replied.

While they were discussing, Chanhee was staring off at a store across the mall, at a particular light-pink dress in the window. He wouldn't admit it but he actually kind of did want to see how he looked in that.

"What about that shop over there?" he said, interrupting the other two.

The both looked, shrugged and followed Chanhee to the store.

When they walked in, the store was relatively empty, except for the shop assisstant who was standing behind the counter.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"Yeah um... we're looking for a dress.. for a family get-together." Younhoon said.

"Okay, what style do you think would suit her?" The lady said smiling.

The three of them glanced at each other awkwardly.

"Actually uhh... it's for him." Younghoon said, gesturing towards Chanhee. He then explained the whole situation to the woman, and after he was finished she laughed kindly.

"Well, of course I can help you lovely boys. And girl..." she added, winking at Chanhee. "Was there anything in particular you liked?" She asked.

Chanhee pointed to the dress in the window.

"Ah, of course." she said. "I think that would suit you beautifully. Let me just take your measurements and see if we have it in a size to fit you."

She took out a tape measure and measured his height, his shoulder width and his waist.

"Wow, you're really small aren't you? Let me tell you, I'd die for a waist like that." she said. "Unfortunately I have too much of a sweet tooth."

She finished taking measurements, and went to the back of the store to look if they had any of that dress in Chanhee's size. Luckily, she found one that fit him fine.

When Chanhee put it on, he looked in the mirror of the changing room and realized how much he actually did look like a girl already. He stepped out of the changing room to show the other two boys, his face going red. They were staring him up and down and honestly it was really embarrassing.

"Perfect." Changmin said.

"Yeah." Younghoon agreed.

"Give us a twirl!" The shop assissant lady said.

Chanhee shook his head.

"Come onnn." Younghoon said.

Chanhee gave in and spun around on the spot, cringeing aftwerwards with his face in his hands.

After he had changed back into his regular clothes, the three boys said their goodbyes, left the mall and made their separate ways back to their different dorms.

It was pretty late in the evening by now, and there weren't many people around on the street that Chanhee was walking on.

Suddenly he heard voices from up ahead.

"...Hahah Juyeon, you're so funny."

"Yeah he really is.."

"I mean what can I say, I-"

There was a brief silence and Chanhee kept his head down, praying that they would just ignore him.

"Chanhee. Choi Chanhee." Juyeon said.

Chanhee kept his head down and carried on walking.

"Hey, klutz," Bona said. "It's rude to ignore people when they're speaking to you."

He tried to move past them but a hand on his chest stopped him and he gave in.

"H-Hi you guys." he mumbled.

A few people in their small group exchanged smirks and snickered at Chanhee.

"Where are you coming from just now Chanhee?" Juyeon asked.

"I umm... the mall." he replied.

"Ooh lets see what you bought!" Bona exclaimed, snatching his bag off his shoulder and ripping it open.

There were a few gasps and repressed laughter when they saw the pink dress. Bona held it up for them all to see.

"What the fuck?" Juyeon laughed.

"Wow klutz, I didn't know you were into that kind of thing." Bona giggled.

"I- I'm not-"

"Wouldn't it be a shame if someone- Oops!" She said, dropping the dress in the dirt. "I think the klutz disease might be rubbing off on me!"

Chanhee just stood there watching as she continued to stamp the dress into the ground, the rest of the group struggling to contain their laughter.

Juyeon threw Chanhee's bag back at him, hitting him in the face.

"See ya later sissy." Juyeon said.

Finally the group left, leaving Chanhee to pick the dress up from the dirt. Thankfully it wasn't ripped or anything, just dirty, so it would just need to be washed. He breathed a sigh of relief that he hadn't damaged the dress which Younghoon had paid for.

When he reached his room, he closed the door behind him and sank down onto the floor. Dealing with Bona and Juyeon and their gang constantly was becoming exhausting. He wasn't entirely sure why, but there always had to be someone who they picked on.

In highschool it was a boy named Jacob, a student who had moved there from Canada. He eventually moved schools because of them.

And now in uni it was Chanhee's turn. He never gave them a reaction, because that was all they wanted. He always just took it and acted like none of it affected him. He figured that this way they would eventually get bored and start bothering someone else.

But it had been ages now and the wall that Chanhee had built to stop it all from getting to him was starting to crack.

He felt the tears start to form in his eyes but he snapped himself out of it. If they made him cry then that means they won, right? So he couldn't cry.

He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and took it out to find a text from Younghoon.

'Did you get home safe?'

Chanhee smiled. It was nice having someone who cared, even if it was because he needed him to pretend to be his girlfriend.
