Chapter 1

Y/n's Pov

My fingers ran down through the mini dress, trailing the silver sequins. A piece of lightweight mesh fabric with shiny silver sequins. I was standing in front of the mirror staring at my reflection in the mirror.

This is the third dress I tried, still can't fill Lisa's satisfaction, and she got this weird fashion sense that was beyond my comfort zone.

Nothing about fashion now day makes me comfortable. Occasionally it always makes me feel self-conscious of my body and my skin texture. Millennials people are so judgy.

"How about this?" I asked Lisa that was examined the dress, walk in a circular motion around me.

"Hmm... A bit long, I can make it shorter." She replied.

"Are you kidding me? Isn't this short enough for you?" I scoffed as I kept pulling the hem of the dress.

"It's bodycon honey, it emphasizes your curves and shows off the length of your legs. It's fit you perfectly but needs some adjustments though. You'll need a pair of perfect heels."

"A pair of heels? Am I a barbie doll to you? I'm even stumbled on my steps while wearing converse how can I walk with heels, Lisa?"

"Are you going to wear sandals with this gorgeous dress? Isn't that funny, y/n? You are a grown-up woman, not a stand-up comedian. Moreover, this is my first fashion show, y/n. I want my best friend to look hot as hell at my first event. There'll be a lot of well-known designers and Gigi Hadid will be one of my models for the show." She excitedly explains.

I widely smile, proud of her achievement at a very young age and I can't be mad when she always complained about the way I dress.

I'm going to wear one of her designs at the show and have my first catwalk on the stage. I'd decline her plea a thousand times but I can't defeat Lisa's charms. Think of it gives me anxiety.

"Lisa isn't it weird how can I get to wear one of your designer dresses and have a catwalk on the stage with the infamous models whilst I'm just an ordinary clerk of a small company. People didn't know my existence and you're infamous Lalisa." I asked her with serious facial expressions.

"So, you are my best friend, y/n. I can't do this event without you by my side. Plus, this is your time to shine and get out of that so-called comfort zone. Trust me, you will slay this fashion show."

Maybe this is the moment for me to outshine my old self and for so long I hid that I had no time to love or have a boyfriend. Lisa was right, I'm an old-fashioned person.

"Thanks, Lisa. I'll do my best for you and myself." I genuinely smile.

...•••...

"Are you sure you not coming with us?" She asked as she put on her earrings.

"No thanks, I got a lot of seasons (The Walking Dead) to catch up. You knew that I can't drink and you also knew something terrible will happen if I'd get drunk." I said, shoving my mouth a handful of popcorn.

"Suit yourself, lady, I'm off to the club. Remember, that my cousins are going to come over to drop off the dresses." She told me before heading towards the door.

"Your cousin? Which want? The Kunpimook Bhuwakul or the  Nicha Yontararak?" I slightly gasped, such an impressive achievement I can remember, and said their name without any mistakes.

"Woah! You can remember their name? By the way, it's Kunpimook, he will come after he finishes his shift." She said with a devilish smirk on her face.

I knew that she purposely asked for Kunpimook's help for some reason. she's such a little bitch! Knowing that I'd have a slight crush on him makes me feel vulnerable in front of her and back in time when we were in high school she constantly tease me about why I never had a boyfriend because I like someone in school.

"That Kunpimook?" I asked as I slam the bowl on the coffee table.

"Yep, that Kunpimook... You better get changed into something cute. He might get flatter." Lisa wiggled her eyebrows even I can barely see it behind her bangs.

"Wah, you're so unbelievable, Lisa!" Grab a handful of popcorn and throw it at her.

"Hey! You are ruining my hair! By the way, don't have s*x on the kitchen counter and especially on this expensive couch. It's taboo. You should do it in the bedroom and bathroom or a love motel." She chuckles.

"I want to come with you! Lisa wait for me I'll go change." I replied as she headed towards the door ready to leave the house.

I can't confront him after many years passed by, the fact that I still fancy him wouldn't help me if I'll be face to face with him.

I mean, I'm embarrassed after he rejected me in high school I barely show myself to him after the incident, and I never even told Lisa about the rejection except for the crush things. If she ever knew about it, she'll get furious at Kunpimook.

"No! You stay home, y/n. Bye!" She closes the door before I can get off of the couch.

"Manoban!" I yelled.

It's been 30 minutes, however, no sign of someone will come and ring the doorbell. I was watching the walking dead anxiously while chewing the popcorn in my mouth.

The sweetness of the caramel makes me drift off from my self-consciousness, that I can't even hear the doorbell ringing. I flinched when the doorbell rang for the third time in a row.

"Sweet Jesus!" I whispered, slowly caressing my chest.

I opened the door slowly revealed a good-looking guy holding dresses in his hands and widely smile when he saw me standing in the door frame.

"Hey, y/n. Sorry for interrupting your night, mind if I come?" He asked with the dresses in his grips.

I automatically move aside to give him the way into the house. He placed the dresses carefully on the couch don't want the dresses to get wrinkles or else Lisa will lay her fingers on his pretty face.

"Thanks for sending the dresses, I'll let Lisa know that her babies are in okay condition." I awkwardly smile.

"Yeah, hmm, y/n? Can we talk for a second?" He asked awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

"Sure... What do you want to talk about?"

"Hmm, I was wondering if you want to go on a date with me this weekend?"

He straightened his body posture and faced me with serious facial expressions. For a moment I was mesmerized by Adam's apple going up and down whenever he swallowed his saliva. With his fingers running through his hair, he looks astonishingly handsome.

"A-a date?" I confusedly asked.

"Yes, a date with me this weekend. We can go to your favorite restaurant for lunch if you want to."

"Is this a prank that you and Lisa set up for me?" My eyes wander around trying to find if there is any camera in the living room.

"Y/n, you're so funny! There's no prank and I genuinely want to take you out for a date." He smiled.

"Hmm... Why suddenly, Bambam?" I asked, trying to clear up the confusion.

"I'm sorry if all of this kind of bother you but I can't hold myself any longer and if I kept denying the truth that I like you so much it might hurt me someday." He grasping my ice-cold hands.

"Denying what, Bambam? You rejected me because I was out of your league and don't forget that you humiliated me in front of your friends about how big my body size was..."

"I'm very sorry, y/n... I was ashamed when you confess in front of my friends that time."

"You ashamed of her physical, Bambam? Then, you should be ashamed of yourself now and one more thing pretty outside doesn't mean they're kind-hearted." Lisa said while leaning against the doorstep.

Both of us averting our attention to Lisa, that took a step closer to Bambam. "I'm so ashamed of you, Kunpimook! Never show your face in front of y/n again, she doesn't deserve an asshole like you." She said as she poke her index finger against his chest.

He lowered his head and slowly walk towards the door. "I'm very sorry, y/n and I meant it this time."
