We were walking through the mall looking at different clothes and purses. With every item we picked up and looked at the more flimsy my wallet felt. Sure my parents are both doctors, but they wanted to me to become more independent since I moved to a different country. So they only send as much as tuition and living costs. Hence, I do not have extra hundreds or thousands to spend on designer clothes. On the other hand, I should have known the girls did have the extra money because they were throwing in random dresses and accessories into their bags like they had hundreds of thousands to spare.

I walked away from the girls to the women's perfume section to test some perfumes. I grabbed a pinky heart shaped bottle and squeezed onto a paper before bringing it to my nose. This one was a delicate rose perfect for a highschool girl's first date. I grabbed a yellow cylinder bottle and squeezed onto a different paper, this one smelled of a sweet vanilla similar to that of my mother's. I smiled remembering my mother's cheeky grin, she's so far away. Amidst all of the girly perfumes I started to pick up on something more manly and it smelled amazing. I looked down to try to find anything out of the ordinary in the women's section, but the smell only got more potent and familiar...

Wait a second...

I abruptly turned around to see Taehyung staring me down until his eyes stuck to the yellow bottle I was still holding.

"It's creepy how I know when you're being creepy," I scoffed turning back around to the perfumes.

He joined next to me still eyeing the perfume in my hand, "There's a difference between being creepy and being mesmerized."

My cheeks started to flush a bright pink.
What was he saying? WHY was he saying that?

I looked at the mirror and saw how bad my cheeks were blushing.
I need to put a stop to this. Remember the game he's playing. Play with him.

"Did you see a mirror? Is that why you're mesmerized?" I challenged.
He raised an eyebrow in amusement, "Are you calling me mesmerizing? I can be more than that."

LOOK AT THE GRAVE YOU JUST DUG FOR YOURSELF Y/N.

"Actually, I'm calling you conceited." I responded proudly for thinking of something so quick.

He smiled at me before leaning his head back into a hysterical laugh. I looked upwards as well trying to find what was so funny at the ceiling.

He abruptly stopped and looked me deep in my eyes. It felt like he was searching for something. An answer? A color? A memory?

"Y/N, you better pray I'm not conceited, because if I'm conceited then I'm also greedy." he whispered. I gulped at those words.

"I will have anything I want, no matter the cost." His warm breath brought chills down my spine leaving me speechless.

He pulled away satisfied with my reaction knowing he had won this round.

How could I let him win so easily? He can't know about my phobia, it would only push him to go further. No I can't let him win. I won't let him win. It's not too late.

"I have to buy something for my boyfriend, be right back." I quickly turned and started walking away from him.

Excuse me.. Haha. y/n? WHAT BOYFRIEND??? WHY DID YOU SAY THAT OF ALL THINGS???

I was mentally slapping myself left and right as I speed walked through the different isles, but soon it came to my attention that Taehyung was a couple feet behind me following my every move.

Does that mean he was affected? Was what I said believable? Maybe.. Maybe, I can win this round.

And I spotted the perfect isle to make this little boy shy away. The lingerie isle. I strut in knowing damn well this was the end of the line for him, but boy was I wrong.

I turned around to see this boy grabbing random pieces of lingerie and stuffing them into his shopper's bag as he walked past the color organized isles.

Does he have no decency?

I stopped and stared at him blankly. He noticed me and quickly caught up with me with a smile on his face. "Oh hey Y/N, you needed to do some shopping here too?" I rolled my eyes at his stupid question.

Immediately a woman in her mid thirties approached us with a smile, "Hello! Can I be of any help in finding what you two love birds need?"

Love birds? Oh hell no.

"No, we're goo-"
"Yes! I was wondering if you could find anything for her? I Like dark purple and she likes..Satin?" He looked to me with a smirk and a look in his eye that said, what are you going to do about it?
"Right babe?"

Did he just babe me?
I can't believe he's doing this. And I also can't believe what I'm about to do next.

"ACTUALLY, I don't like satin, I'm sure you have something lace right?" I looked back at him with a smile that said, that's what I'm gonna do.

She nodded and motioned for us to follow her.
"We have a broad selection here, but it's always better to find what best flatters your body."

Taehyung slipped his arm around my waist pushing me forward to walk with him selling to the woman that we really were a couple.

She continued to show us different designs.
"And judging by your small breast size we need to find something that cups the width enough to make them pop." She innocently said.

And I swear to God I heard that boy snort.
I turned to him in disbelief. Communicating with my squinting eyes that one word out of him would mean absolute death.
He coughed away the snort and turned serious once again.

"I like this one," he said pointing to the lacey dark purple lingerie that she was holding.

"Wonderful, is that it for today?" She smiled hoping we would give her a generous tip.
"Yes, that's it." I smiled sarcastically through gritted teeth.

"Actually one more thing can you make this a special order?" Taehyung piped placing his wallet on the counter.
"Of course, that will be another ninety thousand Won, but you get free thigh high fishnet leggings."

"Perfect!" he breathed out swiping his card.

Okay. So. Right now. We are walking out of the lingerie section. With something we bought together for no apparent reason. What on earth did I even accomplish?

The three girls ran up to us, "Y/N, where have you been? We were calling you so we could buy matching outfits."

"Oh really? I think my phone was on silent." I heaved.

"That's okay, we all got a different color and we got you a black one!" Jennie exclaimed.

"Aww, thank you. I'll make sure to pay you back! What is it?" I questioned looking inside the bag.

"No need. And you'll umm.. See later.. WHAT DID YOU GUYS BUY?" Rose excitedly smiled while holding all of her bags up.

"Oh my gosh, you will never believe it, we got-"
"I GOT HER A PERFUME." Taehyung interrupted while nudging me for some reason.

"Oh cool, well let's go home?" Jisoo tiredly complained. Taehyung grabbed my bags and led the way to his car.

Finally this long day is over and I can finally get home to studying and oh crap... don't we have to go to a bar?

I shall update soon :)
PROMISE.
