▽:the mall

@jin meixin Jongsuk looked at her with hesitance. Sure, she was very pretty but could he trust her? Her knowing who he was and knowing he just bought lingerie for a 45 years old women made it dangerous for him to accept. Since she said it was to be even, he couldn't decline. What if she took what happened today and brought it to the journalist? That would only bring him a scandal and people wouldn't look at him the same way anymore. "Okay, Let's go now" He replied while keeping his head down to make sure no one noticed him. He grabbed her hand, not letting her time to have a say in this since he didn't want to make this situation loud or worse. Quickly, he pulled her out of the store while heading to a cafe.

@lee jong suk When they reached the counter, the staff was surprised that it was their head boss visiting their store. "Hello, Miss Jin. May I help you?" The cashier politely asked with a smile, hoping not to displease her. "Have them wrapped nicely." Mei Xin pointed at the robe and the night gown. With that, the staff nodded and was able to do the task in a jiffy, handing it to her. "Thanks." She said casually with a small smile before turning to look at him, holding out the paper bag for Jongsuk to take. "Take this and have coffee with me then we're even." Mei Xin told him in determination. This was her chance to get to know him up close.

@jin meixin Jongsuk flinched as the 'ohmygosh' word came out of . It only guided him to the thought that she might know him or even.. be a fan. He didn't move from kneeling on the floor, he just stood there with his eyes clenched as he was secretly swearing to himself in his head. He knew this was a bad idea. He tried to act cool about it, not wanting to make things worst. He nodded with a forced smile while replacing himself carefully and getting up. He followed her to the counter and pulled out his wallet, "It's okay, I'll pay" He reassured while pulling out his card. Even though he just wanted to run away while leaving his embarrassment there, he knew it would be best to just stay there and talk with the young lady. "So... you are going to keep this a secret right?" He asked quietly while leaning to her.

@lee jong suk "So I guess this all about a dare going to my shop?" That sounded more of a tease rather than a question as Mei Xin casually responded to his confession. A soft chuckle came out from her lips as it was the only possible reason why he'd be there.

However, her chuckle was cut short when he removed his glasses. "He looks soooo familiar..." Mei Xin thought as she tried to remember him. Being not too old yet, her memory was still good and so she realized it was Lee Jongsuk, a band singer who had performed in the club she was working before. "Ohmygosh." She gasped quietly as his hat accidentally fell off the floor, confirming it was really him. She bent down to help him pick up the lingerie and stood up afterwards. Wanting to play a little with him, she purposefully leaned closer to him as she handed him back the clothes. "I know it's embarrassing for a famous man like you to go visit my shop but..." Mei Xin told him, the volume of her voice was enough for only him to hear. "I'm really, really honored." Afterwards, she reached for his shoulder and gave it a light tap before pulling away. "Let's go take this to the counter now, shall we? You can take those for free."

@jin meixin Jongsuk nodded while putting his hands in his pockets. It was weird to realize that he was shopping for 45 years old women lingerie. Even though it was for a bet, the situation seemed all so weird. While he really wanted to be incognito at the moment, he didn't pay really attention to the rest of the shop. That was the reason why he didn't notice the posters in the first place. Hearing the young female repeating that it was for a 45 years old women, he couldn't help but to tell her the reason why. Being seen as a younger boy who was dating an older women made him uneasy. "I-It's for a bet..." He admitted quietly as he watched her reaching for the robe.

He wasn't even going to judge or whatsoever on the lingerie she picked, she was the professional here. He nodded, pretending to agree with her information of the robe while he pulled off his sunglasses to look at it. "This seems good" He said as he took the piece in his hands. As he did so, he dropped his sunglasses out of his hands, making him bent down to reach them on the floor. All went worse when the hat fell while he was doing so. Quickly, he took his hat on the floor and put it back, followed by his sunglasses. He left an awkward chuckle as this made him seem like someone suspicious.

@lee jong suk Hearing his voice, Mei Xin had kind of inferred that he must have been good at singing, though his tone was quite unsure and nervous, even clearing his throat. It can even be proved from his attire that he didn't want to be seen going there. "For a 45-year old fine woman I see..." She nodded in understanding as her fingers brushed through the hung clothes on the rack, looking for something to suggest to him. At the back of her mind, more questions kept on running her head ever since he set foot on her shop. She was fighting every urge to ask his relationship with the woman he is referring to, thinking it was none of her business. He deserves some privacy too.


She was even more amused that he didn't seem to notice the posters there, in which she was one of the models of her own lingerie line. Probably because she was wearing sunglasses, with which she removed later on to have a better view of the lingerie she spotted. Finally, she took a black thin-clothed lacy robe and a silky white night gown a couple of inches above the knee and showed it to him. "This should be it. It's a bit mysterious with the colors, seducing yet not revealing too much." Mei Xin explained with a hopeful smile, guessing that women with that age generally has that kind of taste.

@jin meixin Jonsuk was going to a fan signing event when one of his band mates commented on how he would get the most gift from the fans. "Stop saying that, you're the artwork of the band, every girls like you the most" He replied while he was very sure of himself. "Wanna bet?" His mate asked back with a playful smile. "whatever, I know you'll lose." He said confidently. "The one who get's the most gifts has to go to a lingerie shop and buy something for the manager" He dared brightly while knowing it would probably be jongsuk who would end up doing it. "Sure... but I know you'll be the one going" He said firmly while closing his eyes to fall into sleep until they were at the place.


After the fan signing event, it ended up being Jongsuk having the most gifts. He was surprised yet not really happy about it because of the bet. He went to the mall and found the nearest lingerie shop while being disguised with a hat, scarf and sunglasses. Walking in, he tried to ignore all the eyes on him from the girls in the shop. He was looking around and all of the lingerie somehow felt too y for his 45 years old manager. He couldn't bring himself to walk out with nothing in his hands since he wasn't the type to give up on bets. Feeling someone tap his shoulder, he slowly turned around. Before his eyes was a beautiful young lady who seemed to be suggesting her help. "oh yes.." He said before clearing his throat. "I'd like to have something... for a 45 years old" He said kind of shyly since he didn't want to seem like a young men who was dating older women. Meanwhile, he hoped not to be recognized.

@lee jong suk It was the first week of the opening of House of Mei and initial revenues have been doing good ever since the launching of their newest line. There were even articles published regarding positive reviews on her shop as lots of girls went to have a look at the hottest designs and trends of lingerie clothing. And most of them, fortunately, are going out with paper bags in their side. Feeling satisfied at her success, Mei Xin decided to go visit her boutique to check how well the store has been doing, whether the staffs are being corteuous and polite on their customers.

Parking her black convertible BMW at the mall's basement, Mei Xin went her way towards her shop and was greeted by the employees with a smile. She curtly nodded, wearing a small smile on her face, not to be obvious that she was overwhelmed by the acceptance of people on her line of business. Of course, there were also those conservative middle-aged women who would criticize her brand for being too bold and daring, but that was normal. No one can please everybody anyway. Among the crowd of girls chattering with each other, giving each other advices on what to buy, there stood out a guy, the only thorn among the roses, who seems to be reluctant being there, in her own opinion at least. Why would a guy be there in the first place? Those questions were left unanswered until Mei Xin decided to approach him, tapping his shoulder from the back. "Eyeing on any one of the displays?" She asked, not being able to hide the amusement on her face.

Chorong walks, checking the clothings in the shop. Once in a while, she'd write something on the book she's holding. She went to the cashier stand and goes through the computer. She checks the daily income of the boutique, correcting some mistakes her colleagues may have done while updating the account. Usually her boss would do these task, but since she's away, she had ask Chorong to take care of this branch of the branded uni wear. And Chorong is her assistant after all. Once she had done doing the chore, she smiles, satisfied with her work. She sips in a cup of hot tea she had make before and waits for customers to pile up.
