"Yup, now go shower. You smell like bad coffee." You nod and rush into the bathroom quickly turning on the shower and jumping in. "Hey, we have laid out some clothes for you on your bed. We're going to go back to our place and freshen up, we'll be back in like 30 minutes." Phoenix yells through the door and you hear your apartment door shut behind them. You rush to scrub the cafe smell off yourself and quickly get out. You blow dry your hair and go out and see the outfit the boys picked out for you.

*See pic #1*

You pull on the clothes and head to the bathroom to fix your hair. Once you get your hair looking at least halfway decent, you decide forgo makeup seeing as you are not great at it and you want to look nice and not like a raccoon. You place some food out for your cat, grab your purse and essentials for the night and wait for the guys to come back. They come barreling through the door and into your apartment, making a mess of your rugs as they do so.

"Dang, Y/N you clean up nice." Phoenix said throwing an arm over your shoulder. You shove him off and walk towards the door. "You've known me you 10 years, you saying that like I look bad everyday." Phoenix laughs and you just shake your head.

~skip to the restaurant~

You all walk into the restaurant and look around for Jae, seeing as he had texted Phoenix to let you all know that they had already gotten a table. "Oh, there they are!" Salem says loudly has he points across the restaurant causing everyone to look at you all. You slap his hand and shove him towards the table. "Pointing is rude and you are too loud." You whisper and glare at him before glancing at the other customers bowing slightly as an apology.

You get to the table and the boys start fighting over where they want to sit in relation to things like the air vents, the door, etc. You just stand back and let them go at it, knowing that you will end up in whatever empty seat they don't take. "You can sit here, if you want." You look over at the voice and see one of the most handsome guys you have ever seen. You blush slightly and move to gently sit down, as you move to take a seat the guy jumps up and pulls your chair out for you. You hesitantly sit down and allow him to slide your chair in, before sitting next to you. The guys keep arguing and you just sit there awkwardly.

"I'm Brian, by the way." You turn to see Brian holding a hand out to you, you take it and introduce yourself, doing a mental victory dance when you don't stutter. "Are they always like this? I mean Jae has told me stories but I thought he was exaggerating." You laugh and nod. "Yeah, they've been like this the whole ten years I've known them." You grab your glass and take a sip of water. "Is it hard dating a triplet? Like do they ever mess with you?" You literally choked and Brian is quickly patting your back, while apologizing. "I-I-I'm not dating any of them *cough* we are just friends. *cough cough*" Brian laughs and shakes his head, "Sorry, I just assumed since you scolded the one that screamed earlier that you guys were dating, you even apologized for him." You laugh and take a small sip of water. "I'm basically like a mom to them, feed them, make sure they don't die, stuff like that." Brian laughs and you think you can see a faint blush on his cheeks.

After the whole seating fiasco, you guys are finally able to start eating. While eating, there is light conversation. At one point you look at Phoenix, only to see he is already looking at you. You raise an eyebrow and he winks at you. You give him a confused look and he just smiles.

"Hey, let me tell you all what Y/N is dealing with." Phoenix announces, Jae and Brian look at you. "She was invited to her ex-boyfriend's wedding, but she can't go alone because then she will look pathetic. Isn't that right, Y/N?" You stare at him wide eyed and he just smirks. Jae looks at you, "Why the hell would your ex invite you to his wedding?"

"They are still friends, she even helped him pick out the engagement ring." Phoenix says smartly. You glare at him, if looks could kill you'd be dead. Feeling the blood rushing to your cheeks you lay your head on the table, hoping this is just a nightmare. "What the hell, Y/N?! Why would you do that? Why don't you just not go?" Jae asked in bewilderment. "If she doesn't go then it will also look bad." Phoenix notes with a mouth full of food. Jae just shakes his head and laughs, "That sucks, man. Why not just take one of these guys?" You groan, still not looking up. "Ex/N knows that we are like brothers to her so that wouldn't work." Phoenix tells Jae, you could just hear his smirk. You raise your head to tell Phoenix to shut up just as Brian asks, "When is the wedding?" All eyes are now on Brian, but his eyes are on you. You look at him for a moment before replying, June 16 of this year." Brian nods and pulls out his phone, he clicks away on it for a few moments before looking back at you. "I could be your date, I mean only if you wanted me to that is." Brian looks down at his plate, fiddling with his chopsticks.
