GaEul smiled at him as she pulled the ivory curtain closed to the fitting room and YiJung sunk back into the chair. This was a lot harder than he thought it would be. Once upon a time, or with any other girl, he would have ordered the attendants out and followed his gorgeous date into the private space. He would never do that to her. But seeing her flounce around in that dress, as ugly as the contraption had been, had tempted him severely. He had originally intended to spend quite some time in this shop, enjoying his little show. After just one dress, he knew he wouldn't be able to behave himself for long. That's why he had picked his favorites out of all of the dresses.
What was she doing in there? He couldn't imagine that it was taking her this long to change. Maybe he was going crazy, overthinking it. YiJung clutched the arms of the chair and tried to be more patient. After a few more minutes of frantic waiting, he gave into his cravings. With a few long strides, he was standing in front of the curtain. Before he could think twice or doubt his decision, he yanked it back.
"Wh-what are you doing? I could have been changing!" She shouted at him. YiJung was not going to admit that was exactly what he hoped she was doing when he opened the curtain. But he was not left entirely disappointed. A polar opposite from before, this dress fit her perfectly and was gorgeous. She had been admiring the sparkle in the mirror when he revealed her.
Without saying anything, he positioned in front of the mirror, his hands lingering on her shoulders. He could feel the warmth of her body through his fingertips and it exhilarated him in a most embarrassing way. Never before had he been so affected by the smallest of touches, GaEul was certainly something else.
"This one is perfect." He was happy to have found one, though he would have enjoyed seeing her in all the other lovely garments they had pulled from the racks. YiJung did not trust himself to endure anymore from her little show without making a move that both of them would regret.
GaEul's smile confirmed that she felt the same dress she was currently wearing. Perfect, they could move onto their next destination, though admittedly a little earlier than he had originally anticipated.
Before he could leave the dressing area, he noticed that her eyes were fixated on the pink dress that she had chosen first. Perhaps that one would be more to her liking? But did he really think he could sit through waiting for her to try that one as well, knowing that she was undressed behind that curtain? No, he shook his head, thankful that her attention was turned elsewhere for the time being.
"Would you like another one?" GaEul shook her head fervently, though he knew that she was lying. Probably not wanting him to buy her anymore than he already was going to. One day she would learn. "The pink one perhaps?" The girl was being quite stubborn with him. Despite her insisting, he decided that he would get that one for her as well. He would just have to take her somewhere else she could wear it, the perfect opportunity for another date with her, granted he didn't botch this one.
"Stay right here, don't change back." Quickly, the left the room and back into the main area of the shop. He held his card out for the attendant and said, "The one she's wearing and the pink one back there too. I want them and her personal items delivered to my home."
"It's been so long since I've seen you, YiJung. And then you bring that dumpy girl here?" YiJung narrowed his eyes at the woman bringing his total up. He remembered her from months ago, a one night fling as they all were before GaEul.
"Watch your mouth."
"I can't help but be jealous." Seeing the owner of the store making his way towards him, wanting to greet one of his favorite customers, YiJung perked up.
He yanked his card from the attendant after she swiped it and turned towards the man as he greeted him. "Fire her." Without another word, the owner's attention was turned towards the rude girl, one YiJung hoped to never encounter again. He couldn't believe her audacity to talk badly about GaEul, especially right to his face.
When he came back into the dressing room, his mood was instantly brightened. She had moved to stand in front of the large mirror and was swinging her hips back and forth, making the dress sparkle as the light hit it. He placed his hands on her shoulders again, causing her to jump. YiJung smiled at her in the mirror and said, "I think you look magnificent, by the way."
Realizing that he forgot to find shoes for her, he led her out of the room and over to the displays of shoes. It wasn't long before they found some sparkly heels to match her dress, ones that made her legs look like they went for days. They brought GaEul almost up to his height. Before they left, he handed his card back over to the owner to add the shoes on.
"They will all be delivered later today, Mr. YiJung." He nodded in response before leading his beautiful date out of the shop all together.
After a few moments in the car, YiJung noticed that GaEul had gone completely silent which was quite unlike her. There was always something bubbling to the surface with her.
"GaEul, what has captured your mind?"
"Oh, nothing sunbae." Her warm smile dragged any doubts he was having away again, he swore that image would be imprinted on his brain forever. "Where are we going next?"
YiJung merely laughed and threw his arms around her shoulders, pulling him closer to her. "You should know by now that its going to be surprise."
