Walking through the mall, it was a fairly slow day as not many people were here today.
We looked around in a few stores but nothing really grabbed my attention until we visited the flagship of my favorite store, Forever 21.
Going in with Namjoon by my side I felt a slight sense of relief. I always would go and pick up three or four items because mom could never afford anything. However, he insisted on buying me everything that I wanted. I didn't know how to feel at first but I of course didn't let the opportunity to get an entire brand new wardrobe pass me by.
I'm not gonna say no if he's paying.
I looked around the racks meticulously, picking up anything I thought was cute and holding them up against me. I was also looking for a dress for my birthday.
"Is this how you normally shop?" He asked, when looking at the decent pile of clothes I had in the cart that he was pushing.
"Is it too much, I can put a few things back-"
"You don't need to do that, I was just curious. I told you anything you want I'll get for you" He reassured me with his cute dimpled smile on full display.
I smile back and just nod in return before going back to shopping.
Hardly any time had passed till I was done and had a full cart of clothes that I had picked. After that we then went to the open changing room.
There wasn't a line when and so we just went in. Namjoon sits down next to some dude who was clearly a dad waiting for his daughter, while I took the pile of clothes that just barely fit in my hands with me to the room an employee escorted me to.
It was a medium space, very white and very clean looking with just the door shutting out the outside. The four wall's had one fully mirrored while the other had a rack to hang clothes.
I hung up all my clothes I had, leaving my hands free. I then look at myself in the mirror before taking off my jeans and fitted shirt.
As I put on my first dress I slid my hands down my tummy, appreciating how the long burnt orange dress that nicely complimented my figure. I dramatically flipped my hair over my shoulders and placed my hand on my hip to pose.
The dress was a strapless red bodycon. To be honest I didn't really like the color and I didn't leave it on long before taking it off trying on the second dress.
The next dress was a light pink dress, longer midi that flared at the dress almost looking like a cupcake. It was definitely on the cuter side.
I stepped into the dress and pulled it up, it felt a little loose until I realized it had a zipper on the back. Trying to reach the zipper I unfortunately could not reach my arms far enough.
After multiple attempts, I finally give up and just accept I need help. I go to the door to sneak my head out to spot Namjoon. There he was sitting on the waiting couch just scrolling on his phone in silence as there weren't a lot of people around except that guy.
Obviously there would be a policy about two people sharing a space so I made sure not to draw too much attention. "Namjoon" I yelled but whispered at the same time when calling his name, and luckily it was loud enough for him. He looks up at me kinda confused.
I lift my head up a little as a gesture to get him to come. Luckily he understood and got up, walking towards me when putting his phone back in his pocket.
"What is it, everything okay?" He asks when standing at the door and I quickly grab his arm to pull him inside before anyone could see.
"I'm fine, I just need you get this zipper in the back"
Namjoon looks at my exposed back when getting behind me. His fingertips lightly brushed against my skin attracting a strange tingling sensation at the subtle contact. He the reached to the bottom and pulled on my zipper so that it was now up.
I glanced at Namjoon through the mirror as he focused on me. His eyes examining me closely in an interesting way, I couldn't really tell if he was actually looking at the dress or my body.
"Well... What do you think?" I inquired into his opinion.
He placed his hands on my waist. "It looks perfect on you" He says and I couldn't help but smile seeking his validation that I wanted.
"You look like a little princess" He said as he leaned forward and gave me a little peck on my neck. The feeling of his lips tickled a bit but I didn't protest when he kissed me once again. Again and again he kept going, his lips lingering a bit longer each time.
"Namjoon, I have to try the oth-"
Without warning I then feel his hand to roughly grip my jaw, lifting my head in an angle before placing his lips on mine.
This overwhelming feeling in the pit of my stomach was not something I was not fully used to, but slowly and surely I was getting accustomed. He had this urgency and yet calmness when deepening this kiss. His tongue found its way out his mouth, swiping over my top lip before biting it.
I moan in his mouth allowing his tongue to enter. Our tongues daintily play together as his arm encircles around me, pulling me closer to press his crotch against my lower back.
Wanting to get some much needed air he leans back, brushing his lips against mine. "Do I look that good in it?" I mumbled against his lips, making him laugh.
He pecked my lips. "I should go before we get caught"
Namjoon moves away, making me instantly miss the tenderness of his touch. However I can't help but think that he's right, we couldn't continue any further without getting caught by someone.
So after he left I just continued to try on the clothes. Some of the items didn't fit but overall I did end up getting nearly everything I wanted when he paid at the register.
Walking around the mall some more and a few shops when coming across a specific jewelry store that caught my eye. Tiffany & Co.
I saw one of the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen, covered in diamonds in a pretty design showcased in the entrance display. It looked simple and yet cute and something about just made me want it so bad.
"How do you like it?" Namjoon asks me curiously.
I look at the necklace that I so desperately wanted around my neck. "It's so pretty, it's like perfect" I beamed.
"Do you want it?" Namjoon asks behind me as I continue to stare at the necklace.
"Could I?" I turn my head for a quick glance.
Looking forward, Namjoon flashes a warm smile before turning around to find an employee to help make the purchase.
There he found a young man in a suit who had just finished helping a previous customer a mere few seconds ago.
"Hello, I'm interested in buying a necklace for my step daughter" I couldn't help but cringe for a second hearing him call me that, especially after we just made out a little while ago.
Namjoon and him walk over to view the necklace that I was staring at, I move out of the way so that the man could see.
"Yes of course sir, right this way" The guy ushered Namjoon over to the checkout register.
I follow behind them, seeing the employee go to the shelf behind the checkout desk and pick out one of the many light blue boxes from an assortment of sizes.
"That will be thirty million won, is this in your range?" The man behind the desk says and my mouth immediately drops open wide in shock.
I had no idea Tiffany's was this expensive, hell I didn't know Jewelry could get this expensive in general. I mean that is like the price of a car, maybe even two cheap cars on a good deal. I can't believe people actually pay this much for this-
"We'll take it" Namjoon said without hesitation, and I was quick to turn my attention to him. He already had his wallet out when taking out his credit card. The price didn't even faze him at all.
"Are you seriously gonna get it?" I ask him, still in a bit of shock from the price.
"Do you not want it?" He halted himself just as he was about to hand over his card to the man, looking at me to make sure this is what I wanted.
"I do want it but-"
"No buts, if you want it then I'm getting it for you" He quickly interrupts.
I don't know why but I felt my tummy would tickle as if little tiny butterflies were swarming around inside.
It was a fairly quick transaction, one card swipe and just like that necklace was handed to him along with his card. "Thank you for your business sir, have a good day"
Walking out of the store, Namjoon immediately handed me over the box and I held it. "Thank you for this Namjoon" I say sincerely when looking at him and we both smile at each other. I truly had such a fun time with him today.
"Your welcome baby, anything for you" He says when placing his hand on my head.
Very gently he began to stroke my hair and leaned in closer at the nice feeling. I looked into his eyes and he leaned in closer before realizing that we weren't public and moved back.
"Do you have to use the bathroom before we leave?" He randomly asks, trying to calm the tension.
I shake my head. "No I don't, what about you?"
"Yeah actually I do" He says when moving back a little more.
"Alright, I'll just wait here then" I say and he nods his head. He then placed the bags that he had been holding down next to me before walking off to find the nearest restroom.
I lean against a wall, watching people walk past me. It had been a minute by still waiting when someone I hadn't expected to see today suddenly walks up to me out of the blue.
There Yoongi was in the distance walking in my direction with a little smile. I took a glance at his outfit as he came a bit closer. His color pallete consists of entirely black, skinny jeans and sweatshirt.
"Hey Yoongi?" I said more so as a question as he approached. "What are you doing here?"
"I just got off work" He pointed at the foot locker a few feet from us.
"Ohh.. that's cool" I say, not knowing how else to respond. To be honest, even though Yoongi was in our friend group, I felt a little awkward talking to him compared to Mirae and Hoseok for some reason.
He shifted a little to the side. "Yeah anyways, how come I didn't see you at the party on Friday?" Yoongi inquired when eyeing me closely.
I bit my lip nervously when thinking about Friday. "I.. Umm.. I had to study" I lied to his face and said the most believable thing I could think of at the moment.
"That's too bad, I was looking forward to seeing you" He sounded a bit upset making me feel kinda guilty.
I was gonna go but honestly didn't anticipate getting spanked by my mom's husband.
"Yeah.. I wanted to see you guys too but maybe next party" I say in conciliation and he hums in agreement. We looked at each other for a moment awkwardly.
He tucked both his hands in his pockets. "Would you maybe wanna go ou-"
"Who's your friend here?"
I almost jumped when hearing the low tone of a familiar man's voice eject. I quickly turned my head to see Namjoon just to the side looking at us with a peculiar grin.
"Oh.. Namjoon, this is Yoongi" Namjoon's eyes wander to the shorter boy standing just a few feet from him.
Yoongi looks up, completely wide eyed and in awe when looking at Namjoon. He stares at him for a few more seconds before leaning down to bow a full ninety degrees.
"It's an honor to meet you sir" Yoongi says in the most formal speech possible and I was a bit taken back.
As if we read each other's minds, I look to my side only to find Namjoon does the same. We briefly glance over at each other in slight confusion before turning back to look at my friend.
"Uh.. you too" Namjoon said a bit hesitant as Yoongi stood up to look at him.
"I love your music, I am like your biggest fan producer Joon" Yoongi had out right confessed and Namjoon just stared at him blankly.
I was a bit surprised to be honest. I had no idea Yoongi was a fan. On top of that, I've also never seen him this excited about anything like this for the short time I have known him.
"Are you friends with Bora?" Namjoon asks curiously.
"Yes I am sir, we are good friends and she's an amazing person just like you" Yoongi compliments me in a strange way relating it back to Namjoon. Kinda weird.
"We have to get going, let's go Bora" Namjoon says completely disregarding Yoongi.
I could see Yoongi look a little disappointed. This boy clearly wanted an hour to just talk with Namjoon and express his admiration but it was very obvious he wasn't gonna get, at least not today he wasn't.
Not giving any more attention, Namjoon grabs all of the bags that had been pooled around my feet.
"It was nice meeting you!" Yoongi beamed before bowing again but Namjoon had already started walking away at that point.
"See you at school" I say when giving Yoongi a little wave.
I quickly walked off to catch up to Namjoon.
