"Yes, Niki. Taemin and I used to work here together when I was in high-school and he was in college," Nini gives me this very unpredictable information very casually.
"But..weren’t you always going to do event planning like your father?" I ask, only to get even more suspicious, "Wait, what job did you even do at Gucci?"
"I..modeled for a few magazines," he blurts out.
Wait what?!
He's been acting so awkward when I mentioned he looked like a male model, like he has no idea about that industry. But he's a real model? Wow, Kim Jongin. I hate you so much. Mostly, I hate how perfect you are. But I'm not going to let you get away with this, oh wait-
"I guess I've seen you on magazines before! This is why you looked so familiar. And, maybe you yourself gave me the idea that you look like a male model!" I say.
"Oh, that's sad. And here I thought I was appealing enough to look like I could be a model, even if you don’t know about it.." he pouts like he's complaining. Are we sure we recognize this person? However, this cuteness is not gonna make me forgive him for playing with me. In fact, I'm feeling competitive as the future brand ambassador of the biggest boutique shop ever, Piyuu's boutique house!
Well, not the biggest yet. But would be after I debut in the modelling industry, duh.
I cross my arms, "Sir, you said you weren’t so sure about that? But hey, let me reassure you, yes you are appealing enough to look like a model, or even to make someone drool over you.."
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I shouldn’t have said the last part infront of Taemin. No, I shouldn’t have said the last part at all. They’re both giving me such looks now. Oh gosh, this is some next level embarrassment.
"Anyways, Nini do you even have friends that aren’t billionaires?" I ask to change the subject.
"Niki, first of all, I, myself, am not a billionaire. And I only have maybe like two friends who are," he says. That's still two more than I have.
"You’re thinking of a millionaire, which is much, much more common.." he adds in.
"But to answer your question, yes, Jongin has friends in the ninety nine percent. He maybe loaded, but he's still the most down-to-earth person that I know," Taemin says.
"Well, thank you. I try," Nini shakes his head.
"But enough of all that. It's time to get you into your perfect tux!" Taemin immediately runs over and starts flipping through the racks and grabbing things.
"Try this.." he holds up a very luxurious tux to Nini "And this.." he show another "And this.." he keeps adding more and more stuff until his hands can't hold anymore. I wonder what would it be like to have Taemin and Piyuu in the same room together. Either the best thing ever, or the worst. I'm not sure which one.
He leads us into a changing room and hands Nini a bunch of hangers.
"Here, try these ones. I'll be back soon," he smiles and turns around to leave.
"Wait, you're not gonna stay here and advise for fit?" I ask.
He pauses and turns around to greet me with a formal smile, "I normally would've, but I just got a call. Urgent business in the dress department. Bigbang G-Dragon will be coming over to pick clothes for an upcoming event in which he'd be a guest. And also I figured that you’re here to help this time so.."
Bigbang G-Dragon?! Wow I feel so starstruck right now. Never in my entire life I imagined I'd be in the same shop from where GD buys his clothes from.
"I'm sure you can handle this, Niki," he comments and looks at Nini. Is it just in my mind or did he really just wink at Nini?
"I'll see you later, Taemin," Nini says.
Taemin leaves the changing room. Nini hands me some of the hangers and starts to remove his shirt. Yes, starts to remove his shirt.
"Y-you, would you like some help with that?" I ask.
He pauses and looks at me straight in the eyes, "Help?"
"You know, with..getting your clothes..off," I whisper.
He chuckles, "And what makes you think I need any help with that?"
I let my eyes travel down his toned chest where the buttons have been opened halfway.
"I don't know, just thought I'd offer. I'm here to help, right?" I smirk.
"I..suppose I could use some help with the buttons. It should be easier for smaller fingers.." he whispers.
His eyes sparkle as I reach forward and start to undo the rest of his buttons. Practical reasons or not, my knuckles start to tingle whenever one touches his skin. I suddenly feel this odd urge to-
Ugh, Niki, what are you thinking?!
"I've a sneaking suspicion that this shirt costs more than my whole apartment," I try to divert my mind.
"That's an exaggeration," he laughs.
"So you're saying that if I stole it to resell, I couldn’t pay off at least a month's worth of rent?" I joke.
He gives a warm chuckle as I finally unfasten the last of the buttons. He pulls his arms from the sleeves and lets the shirt drop to the floor.
My eyes immediately jump to his chiseled abs, but I look away just as fast as I can. He maybe hot, but I'm still here on business. I should stay in my limits.
"Do you..need help with anything else?" I mumble confusedly.
"While I totally appreciate the offer, I think that I'm actually quite capable of dressing and undressing by myself.." he whispers in a low, shivery tone. Why's my entire body so hot?! It feels like I'm burning, melting, it feels like a freaking sauna in here.
