Seungcheol looked at herself in the mirror. Today she mustered enough courage to go shopping at the mall and even went to a changing room. Now she was staring at her reflection with a pout on her face. She was wearing a simple black dress, which embraced her big boobs and curvy ass. Seungcheol wasn’t sure how to feel about herself in this dress. Maybe it was too short? It reached her mid-tights. Maybe it clung to her body too much? No, she still can move comfortably in it. Perhaps it was because of her body? Because of those too-big tits and way-too-big booty.
“Oh, fuck!” She groaned loudly. She needed to take it off as soon as possible. Seungcheol reached the zipper which was at the back of the dress when she heard a voice.
“Um, hello? Is everything alright? Do you need some help?” Asked the stranger. Seungcheol cringed immediately and cursed at herself in her head. A little awkwardly she poked her head outside of the changing room and she is pretty sure she just saw the most beautiful man in the whole world. He wasn’t just handsome, he was like an angel in every romantasy book she ever read. The man was looking at her with worry.
“I’m ok. Just-” She stopped, not sure what to say.
“Shopping gone the wrong way?” Asked the stranger.
“Yeah, you could say that.” Seungcheol said. She wanted to hide in a changing room but then a thought came to her mind. Before she could stop herself she was asking “Could I get your opinion about something?” She felt her ears getting red right after she said that.
“Of course, what is it?”
Seungcheol looked around them. They were the only ones in the area at the moment. Before she chickened out, she got out completely from the fitting room.
“Does this dress look good on me?” She asked a little unsure. After a second she started speaking again. “I’m sorry. I’m just wasting your time. I’m really sorry. Just forget about-”
“You look very pretty. You should buy it.” Said the man. He looked at the girl up and down, how the dress perfectly fitted her body. He wanted to say more to her but didn’t want to make her uncomfortable.
Now not only Seungcheol's ears were red and hot but also her whole face. “T-thank you.” She stuttered. “I, I should, you know.” Before she could embarrass herself even more she disappeared into a fitting room.
“Have a nice day, pretty!” Said the man before he walked away.
Pretty.
He called Seungcheol pretty.
She bought the dress.
🖤
“So, a handsome man told you that you are pretty.” Said Wonwoo and sipped his iced americano. Seungcheol just told him what happened three days ago at the mall.
“He was beautiful.” Seungcheol said with a blush on her cheeks. She was holding her caramel latte in her hands.
“And that's why you bought the dress.” Wonwoo pretended he didn’t just hear what Seungcheol said. She nodded her head at his question. “When are you going on a date with him?” Wonwoo asked.
“Pff, never? I don’t even know his name. I only remember what he looks like.” Seungcheol said with a pout.
“Don’t be so sulky, Noona.”
“I’m not.” She said, still with a pout on her lips.
“Yeah, sure Noona.” Wonwoo said with a smile. He wouldn't waste a chance to tease his best friend a little. Even though she would later beat his ass in Valorant.
“Ok, but seriously. I should just forget about it. It was nice to hear a compliment from someone other than you or my mum, but life goes on or whatever. It’s not like he’s gonna appear suddenly in my life once again.” Seungcheol said after a while. She was trying to make herself as small as possible in her oversized hoodie. She felt the need to vent to her friend but now all she wanted to do was to bury herself in a blanket.
“If only you knew his name I would stalk him on social media for you, Noona.” Wonwoo said seriously.
“I know. That’s why you’re my friend.” Seungcheol replied with a smile.
“And there I thought you liked my personality.” Wonwoo said with a sigh but after a few seconds, they both burst out laughing.
After about half an hour of just talking Seungcheol heard the doors to a cafe they were sitting in opening. She looked in that direction and almost choked on air. There he was. The man she couldn’t stop thinking. The man, who called her pretty. He wasn’t alone, another man was with him. A little shorter with round cheeks. Seugcheol took a good look at the man she met a few days ago. He had almost shoulder-length black hair. His features were feminine but at the same time he still looked manly. He looks insanely good in a black t-shirt, cardigan and loose jeans.
“What? You saw a ghost?” Asked Wonwoo seeing how Seungcheol was sitting with an open mouth.
“Worse. Him” She said after a few seconds, still looking at the man.
“The guy from the mall?”
“Yeah. Look at him but discreetly. It’s the one with long hair.” She whispered. Wonwoo turned his whole body to find the person his friend was talking about. “I said fucking discreetly, idiot!” She whispered-yelled at Wonwoo.
“I’m blind” Wonwoo said as an excuse and turned back to Seungcheol. “Kinda hot” He added.
“Just kinda?” Seungcheol asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Mhm, your type” Wonwoo just said. “You should go and talk to him.”
Seungcheol looked at him like he had two heads. “Are you crazy? I’m not doing it. I’m too of an introvert to this shit. Besides, he’s with someone. I don’t want to disturb him.” She said and looked at her sweater paws.
“I think you should try anyway.” Wonwoo insisted.
Seungcheol rolled her eyes. “You say as if you would do it if you were in my shoes.”
“Who knows, maybe I would” Wonwoo said even though they both knew it was a lie.
They sat there for another half an hour drinking their coffee. Seungcheol was trying really hard to not look at the beautiful man but from time to time her aze landed on him. They were ready to go when Wonwoo suddenly spoke up.
“Go now!”
“What?” Seungcheol asked, confused.
“His friend just went to the restroom. Go ask him his name, number, anything.”
Seungcheol looked at the man sitting now alone at the table. At the same moment he looked at her. Seungcheol lowered her gaze and swallowed her spit loudly. She thought for a moment about how she looks today. Oversized hoodie, blond bleach hair in a messy ponytail, no make-up on. She knew he was staring at her, she felt it. Fuck it she thought to herself while she was getting up.
“Go Noona! Fighting!” Said Wonwoo, holding his thumbs up.
Seungcheol took her phone and made her way to the table occupied by a beautiful man. Her gaze was on the floor, she was too afraid to look him in the eyes.
“I don’t know if you remember but we met the other day at the mall.” She was surprised her voice wasn’t trembling while she was speaking. She felt her heart beating like crazy in her ribcage.
“I remember.” He said. Seungcheol looked at him and saw the prettiest smile ever. “Did you buy that dress?” He continued.
“Yes.” She said. She started fidgeting a little. “I-I wanted to ask, if maybe, only if you want, we can exchange numbers? I understand if you don’t want to.” She said nervously.
“I would love to, but will your boyfriend be okay with it?” He asked and looked in Wonwoo’s direction.
“Boyfriend?” Seungcheol needed a few seconds to understand the implications. “Oh no! He’s not my boyfriend. We’re friends.”
“Oh.” The man blushed. Oh god, he was even more beautiful like that. “Sorry for making assumptions.”
“It’s okay.”
The man gave his phone to Seungcheol. “Here, write your number, please.”
Seungcheol took the device and added a new contact. When she was done she gave back the phone to its owner. He looked at the name on his phone.
“Seungcheolie” He said with a smile. “Pretty name for a pretty girl.”
Seugcheol felt like her face was on fire. “Thank you.” She whispered.
“I’m Jeonghan. I sent you a message so you will have my number. I’ll text you later.” Jeonghan promises. Seungcheol wanted to say something but Jeonghan’s friend just came back.
“Oh, am I interrupting?” He asked while sitting on his chair.
“A little, Kwannie.”
“No.” Seungcheol said hurriedly at the same time as Jeonghan. “It was nice to meet you Jeonghan-ssi.”
“Likewise Seungcheollie.”
Seungcheol came back to Wonwoo. Before they made their way out she checked the message from Jeonghan and once again almost choked on air.

Hope I will see you again in this little black dress, pretty ~ Jeonghan
Seungcheol's face was burning hot after reading it.
🖤
Seungcheol looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was getting ready for a third date with Jeonghan. Third date. A few days ago Seungvheol hadn’t even dreamt of going on a one date with him and now she was standing in her little black dress, her blond hair styled carefully and make-up on. She was quite tall for a girl but still, she wore her favorite black heels. She wanted to look pretty. Prettier than on the previous dates. She was fixing her hair when the doorbell rang. She took a deep breath, took her purse, made her way to the doors and opened them.
“Hi.” Seungcheol said, seeing Jeonghan in a white button-up, black slacks and a huge bouquet of red roses in his hands.
“Hi, Baby” Jeonghan needed a few seconds to say anything. “Wow, you look stunning”
Seungcheol felt herself blushing. “Thank you. You look good too.”
“Only good?” Jeonghan asked with a smirk.
“Handsome. Very handsome” Seungcheol said a little out of breath.
“Thank you, Sweetheart. Those are for you.” He said and gave Seungcheol the flowers.
“You didn’t have to.” She said and took the bouquet.
“But I wanted to. Pretty girl deserves pretty flowers.”
“Thank you.” Seungcheol said. “Let me just put them in water and we can go.” She disappeared in her apartment and came back after a while.
“Ready to go?” Jeonghan asked with a smile.
“Yes.”
After that date, Seungcheol could proudly say she had a boyfriend. They went together on several more dates, spent Christmas and New Year's Eve and now they were sitting on the couch looking for a flat in which they were planning to live together.
