Yeri drives us to the mall first. She wraps her arm in mine as we walk around. We go into Forever21 because that store is heaven.

Yeri immediately spots an outfit she likes and finds her size. I walked around for a bit looking for something that caught my eye. I found this cute top to go with some shorts so I wrapped them on my arm and kept browsing.

I meet back up with Yeri and see both of her arms full of clothes. "Oh my gosh, so many!" She laughs. "I love shopping, especially here. It's one of my favorite stores."

"Mine too!" Yeri grabs my hand. "I have the perfect outfit for you, so let's try our stuff on." I nod and follow her to the changing rooms.

We went into the changing rooms and Yeri slid the outfit she picked out for me underneath the partition. I grabbed it and hung it behind all the other clothes I had picked.

I changed into the cute shirt and shorts I picked out and went to show Yeri. She comes out with a short strapless red dress with ruffles on the bottom.

She has such a great figure because the dress fit her perfectly. She smiled and twirled around in a circle. "How does it look?" She asks. "You look...beautiful." I say in awe. No wonder Taehyung dated her, she's gorgeous.

"Aw, thank you! Your outfit is so cute! I bet Taehyung would love it." I smile and rub my arm embarrassed. Next to Yeri, I'm nothing compared to her.

"I'll change into my next outfit." Yeri says as she closes the changing room door. I go into my changing room and change into the outfit Yeri picked out for me.

I take a look in the mirror. It was very pretty! It's definitely something I would wear. A white off-the-shoulder romper with long sleeves.

I finally step out of the changing room and the minute I do, Yeri gasps. "Oh my God. You look amazing!" I spin around and curtsy. "Thank you, Yeri." We both laugh.

We gather our outfits and hang up the ones we don't want on the rack. I kept the outfit Yeri got for me and the shorts I had picked out. We go to the register and I put my stuff up on the counter. Before I'm able to pay, Yeri takes my credit card.

"Hey!" She puts it in my purse, pulls out her card, and swipes it. "Yeri, why did you pay for me? I could have done it myself." Yeri shakes her head.

"Pah-leeze. We're friends now and besides, I've been here so many times, all the employees know me by name." "Any coupons today, Yeri?" the cashier asks. "Not today, Lia." The cashier turns and looks at me.

"Is she a friend of yours?" she asks pointing at me. "Yup. We are hanging out today." The cashier hands me my bag and gives Yeri her bag. "Well, have fun!" "Thanks." Yeri waves her off and we walk out of the store.

"Wow, they really do know you by name." I say in shock. "That place is like my second home. Of course, my first is-" Yeri stopped. I turn to her. "What?" Yeri shakes her head.

"Nothing. C'mon, let's see if we can catch a movie." She wraps her arms around mine and we walk to the theater.

Yeri asked what movie I wanted to watch and I told her it didn't matter. She chose a popular movie and we went into the theater. After the movie, we walked to a karaoke place.

As we walked, guys stared at us. Well, I say us when I really mean Yeri. I mean, it's not like I was wearing anything special. "Bro, she's gorgeous." "What a body." "She's so cute." "Is she famous?" "Should I ask for her number?"

I awkwardly looked at the ground. I thought I looked cute, too. But Yeri looks like an idol and I'm just...well...me.

As I'm lost in my thoughts, Yeri grabs my hand and whispers in my ear. "Don't worry about them. I get stuff like this all the time. You look great!" She gives me a smile.
