"Definitely the blue one." Hyerin says when I walk about of the dressing room.

I wrinkle my nose

"Do you think he'll like it?"

"If I think?" She rolls her eyes. "I'm sure that he'll love it."

The blue one seems too much for the occasion. I look at the dress in detail, looking at each negative and positive thing that it does to my body. Hyerin tries to excite me with her gaze, but I don't think I'm so sure.

"My legs aren't thin enough." I let out with a gesture.

He rolls her eyes.

"Put on heels, problem solved."

The dress sticks to my body in an extraordinary way, and the material is really pretty. I don't have anything else to wear, much less for a Tuesday. It's Monday afternoon and I still haven't decided on what I want to wear.

"You know what?" I shrug my shoulders, trying to remove importance. "Why don't I just use one of my dresses that-"

"No." Hyerin interrupts me.

I give her a bad stare. She's practically trapped me inside a dressing room, forcing me to try on a million dresses.

The dress is beautiful, there's no doubt about that. However, it's really tight around my chest, making some things slightly show too much.

"Come one, Areum, you know you love it." She began. "Please, I promise that it looks perfect on you."

I look at it again up and down; I know that it doesn't look bad on me, but I'm still not that convinced. I feel like if it's too much for a party. Of course it's not for the party, but for who I'll see there...

"Do you really like it?" I ask a bit doubtful.

Hyerin rolls her eyes.

"Just take it off and let me pay for it."

I make a pouty face and obey. I walk into the dresser and take off the dress. I give it to her quickly over the door, and I hear how she quickly walks away to what I suppose, is the cash register.

I quickly finish changing and walk out, finding Hyerin handing me a bag with the dress inside.

"Done."

"Thank you." I smile at her.

"No problem. I know I'm the best friend of the whole world."

I roll my eyes.

"Don't exaggerate."

"You know I am." She smiles back, but then I hear her sigh. "I wish I was as fortunate with love as I was with friendship..."

I look at her from the corner of my eye. She told me that Jimin hasn't called her since the day at the bar. Hyerin still doesn't know if he's actually interested in her, or if he's just trying to play with her.

"Hey, everything will be okay." I say, throwing my arm over her shoulder as we walk. "If he likes you, he'll call you."

She sighs.

"I'm tired of waiting."

I smile.

"He'll call you, you'll see."

Once I say those words, my mind travels to another place. My mind is ordering me to call Taehyung and tell him what happened, or to just break up with him so that I could be calm with myself. But fear is my worst enemy, and I haven't fully decided yet.
