More Charming Than Ever

Y/N's POV

"Perfect," I exhaled, fixing Mackie's tie that was crooked. My father taught me how to tie a man's tie when I was younger. I never really knew why.

He smiled brightly at me and then to the mirror. I turned towards two other figures coming out of the male's dressing room. Keifer and Francis smiled at Mackie when they saw him in the same maroon suit they were both wearing. 

"So, are you guys going to get this set?" I asked, pulling away from Mackie so he can look in the mirror more clearly. Francis exchanged questioning but expecting glances at the other two boys. 

"I like them a whole lot!" Francis squealed. I giggled along with him as Mackie and Keifer gave each other approving looks.

"Then, let's get them. Did you want anything, Y/N?" Keifer asked, his gaze falling on the array of dresses and blouses behind me.

My eyes flickered to the strapless maroon dress that I was admiring earlier. I stared at it for a few seconds before turning back. I shook my head slightly, my mouth turning into a straight line. Francis and Keifer nodded, going back into the changing rooms to change out of their suits. 

Mackie sent me a concerned glance before moving back to change out of his suit, his hand placing itself on my shoulder for a split second. 

I waited outside for the three boys, passing time by watching some videos of their old and smaller concerts. I looked at my calendar next when I realized that the concert was only about two weeks away. By that time, I would've stayed here already for a months time. 

I snapped out of my thoughts when the subjects of my thoughts turned up in front of me. Each of the three came out carrying a velvety and fancy shopping bag. Mackie seemed hesitant to leave the store. His eyes lit up with realization as he said, "Wait guys! I forgot to get the receipt from the cashier." 

We nodded for him to go back. Mackie spared me a glance as he ran back into the store. He came out about 15 minutes later, tired out from running.

Keifer hit Mackie's shoulder, "What took you so long, Mack?" 

In response, Mackie rubbed the back of his neck nervously and said hestitantly, "Oh, it's nothing. I just had to wait in the long line to get the receipt, since they said I couldn't cut in. Honestly, it was kind of ridiculous." He pouted with fake hurt, causing the rest of us to laugh.

He draped an arm around Francis's shoulder as we started walking to look for more places to stop at. Keifer stayed by my side while Francis's enthusiasm literally dragged Mackie by the collar as they walked a fair distant from us.

Once they were out of earshot, Keifer smiled at me and asked, "So Y/N, do you feel settled in this dreary province of ours?" My smile faltered a little at the choice of words

"Don't call it that, Keif. In all honesty, I've never lived in, or stayed in, such a charming community. And the fact that you live here aswell, makes it more charming than ever," I reassured him, smiling gently as his slightly shocked face.

Keifer put a hand up to his face to cover up a most obvious blush. His eyes glanced back at me before reverting back. He grazed his long silky black hair with his free hand before walking swiftly past me to catch up with the other two. I stayed behind and continued walking with ease. A thought boggled my mind as I finally arrived next to the rest iof the boys, glacing at Keifer to find him still blushing.

I continued to stare from the corner of my eye at Keifer's growing blush.

But why is he blushing?
