Start from the beginning
                                    

"Yo!" I screamed out the door, fearful to open it in case he was still changing. "! need help with my dress!"

"Coming!" Jaemin opened the door, causing me to lose my balance and stumble on to him. He caught me and propped me back up. "You look beautiful."

"Nah..." I trailed off, feeling my face beginning to blush. I turned around to hide my face and lifted my hair. "Can you zip up my dress?"

"Sure." Jaemin carefully pulled the zipper up on the dress and turned me around. He closely examined my face before he spoke. "Do you want me to do your makeup and hair?"

"You can do that?" I asked, surprised that he offered.

"Yeah," He shrugged. "I've learned a few things from my ex and mom."

"So, you just picked this up for fun?" I asked him, sitting down on the bed. He shrugged.

"More or less, yeah." He went inside the bathroom to grab some makeup to use. He came back after a few minutes. "Sorry for taking so long, I had to plug in your curler and had to choose the colors that I thought would work."

"It's fine," I let out an awkward laugh. "Just work your magic, and I'll see if I need to fix it."

"Do you not trust me?" Jaemin placed his hand over his chest and looked offended. "I will make sure you look good girl!" I laughed as he opened up the eyelid primer. "Close your eyes, sweetie!"

I laughed and closed my eyes. I felt him putting on the primer as well as his quiet breathing. He lifted his finger from my eyelids and opened up a case. I felt a brush go against my eyelids. We remained like this for a while before he spoke up.

"Shit." He said.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, worried that something happened. By now, he was already my eyeliner.

"Nothing." He hummed. I felt a cotton swab going on my face.

"Did you mess up on the eyeliner?" I asked him.

"No." He replied. "Shit."

"Just let me do it." I reached out on front of me, attempting to grab the eyeliner blind. Instead, my hand crashed right into his face.

"Hey!" Jaemin complained. I heard something fell onto the floor. I opened my eyes to see Jaemin on the floor. "I can do your eyeliner!"

"Just give it to me." I held out my hands. "This is already taking too long. You can curl my hair while I work on the eyeliner."

"Fine." He sighed, handing over the eyeliner.

I helped him get up and we walked over to the bathroom. I sat down on the floor and used a small portable mirror to work on my makeup. When I saw the eyeliner, I almost wanted to cry.

"Jaemin," I started, using a cotton swab to remove as much of the eyeliner as I could. "You're great with the eyeshadow, but you suck at eyeliner."

"Look, I moved my hand and then it smeared, then I tried to cover the smear but it only made the eyeliner worse." Jaemin said, spraying heat protecting hairspray on my hair.

"That's why I'm trying to fix it to be a smoky eye." I told him, putting some black eyeshadow on to make the smear look intentional.

I blended for a good minute before taking a look at it. It seemed fine. I copied the look with just black eyeshadow on the other eye. Afterwards, I began to work on a thin line of eyeliner, making sure that it didn't really pop out.

"Alright," Jaemin said, breaking the silence. He ruffled my hair slightly. "You're halfway done with hair."

"Nice." I said, grabbing my foundation and blending it on my face. I began to put on blush, highlight, and a little bit of contour.
