You perhaps said it too loud, because a few people noticed, and Aren and his friend were one of them. Aren smiles and said something to his friends that made them walk up to the both of you guys. You are to get embarrassed as Maki quietly enjoys your panicked state.

"Hey, Y/n. I can tell you're here for shopping, too," Aren says, making his cotton candy blueberry friend gasp.

"So, she's the girl you're going to da- Mph!"

"Yeah, um, ignore this guy. Kaidou's just playing around," Aren then glares at his friend, "And he will stop playing around, right?"

His friend, Kaidou, quickly gets terrified and nods rapidly as Aren's hand was released.

"Y-Yeah, it's fine, A-Aren," you look away, afraid that Maki would say something stupid.

"Oh, she this is the guy you're going to hang out this weekend-

"Sh, Maki!" you fly your hands at her face before nervously looking at Aren, "W-Well, what are you guys doing here?"

"Oh," Aren starts to blush, "We came here to do some shopping. Y'see-

"He's trying to find some new clothes. Isn't that right, Aren?" Kaidou stupidly smirks as he nudges his arm, making him look at him in disgust.

"Oh, really?" Maki smirks at your flustered face, "Y/n and I are shopping for her big day this weekend. Isn't that right, Y/n?"

You and Aren make an awkward eye contact before looking away in embarrassment.

"Y-Yeah, right, um, can we drop the subject and-

"Hey, since we're all here together, why don't we shop together," Maki smiles mischievously.

"M-M-Maki, i-it's best if w-we leave the g-guys-

"Sure! Besides, it's better than two!" Kaidou joins in, "Are you in, Aren?"

"If Y/n's fine with it," Aren requests.

"Yes!" you almost respond instantly, "I-I mean, yeah, sure. We could go shopping together."

"Then let's go!"  Maki says.

You never had this much fun and exhaustion for just a single shopping. Aren and Kaidou has already gotten some clothes for themselves, but Maki was still letting you try out some clothes as you were getting a bit tired of her making you as her model. The boys were tired, and soon enough, they started whining.

"Hey, are you done yet?" Kaidou whines, "I wanna go home."

"Yeah, just pick a dress and let's go," Aren whines as well.

"You boys don't know the guidance of beauty. I haven't found the perfect dress for our dear Y/n yet, but we're also finished," Maki spat at the boys before knocking on the dressing door, "You almost finished in there, Y/n?"

"Y-Yeah," you say.

"Well, why don't you show it to the boys and I?"

"Do you promise this is the last one?" you ask.

"Of course! A promise's a promise!"

"Okay . . ."

When you walked out the door, Aren just stares at you with beauty. He's seen pretty women but has never seen such beauty within one. There, his date for this weekend, was given reactions to you, but you were only waiting for Aren since he only stared at you with awe.

"Hey, Aren, bet she looks good, right?" Kaidou brings the subconscious lovestrucked boy back into reality and starts blushing, looking away from how beautiful you look and scratches the back of his head.

"Y-Yeah, it's very beautiful- well, I mean, good, ugh, yeah, beautifully good on you," Aren compliments, making you flustered and smile, looking at the dress on you.

"Th-Thanks," you respond shyly, but there was so much joy inside.

Maki smirks and Kaidou mischievously smiles at each other as they both wink, glad that the plan worked out, even though they've never met each other until today.

"Well, let's buy the dress," Maki says.

For anyone who thinks Maki is another character from another anime, she's actually just an extra side character of TDLOSK series.
