Kim Kyungmi P.O.V.

I exited the large building, trailing behind a bunch of boys. The sky was still dark and gloomy looking. I tilted my head, trying to understand why it was dark when it was the morning, and in spring. 

"Wow, isn't it a nice day?" The boy standing next to me said. I looked in his direction and recognized him as Minghao. I scratched my head. 

"Uh, what are you talking about? It's so dark." I scoffed while looking at the dark, cloudy sky. All the boys around me laughed, so like 30 of them. 

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot what the guys told us about Earth." A boy named Hansol mumbled. Minghao laughed and scratched his head cutely. 

"Haha, sorry. I forgot to explain to you that apparently it is dark in the mornings of Htrae and bright at night, you probably didn't even realize it since we were inside all the time. The blacker the sky, the prettier it is, right?" Minghao explained. I gave him an unsure smile, but since he was so nice, I couldn't make myself yell at him. I just nodded and walked on. 

"There's a lot more I have to learn about Htrae," I mumbled carelessly. 

"You got that right." I heard Jungkook mumble while walking in front of me. I gave him a death glare, but ignored his presence after our fight. 

"You excited for the mall, Kyungmi?" Seungcheol nudged me on the shoulder. I chuckled. 

"Not really. I've never been a mall of the mall, but I'm more excited for seeing a new area," I admit, gazed at the trees that had their stumps in the air, rather than on the ground. The tops of the trees, well, the bottom of the trees, were a purple color which confused me. I stopped and looked down at the blue grass and green dirt. I sighed. "This is weird." I muttered under my breath, continuing to walk. 

"You get used to it, I remember being really confused when I came here." A boy said to me while I was slightly thrown off. I remembered him as on of the boys from Earth, one of Jungkook's friends. I rolled my eyes. 

"Like you boys even remember how you were when you first came here. It seems like you all had no problem in moving on." I knew I was being childish, but I couldn't help but feel these boys didn't care about the ones who cared about them. The boy shuffled in his feet. I shrugged him off carelessly, trying to avoid eye contact, but I felt him pull slightly on the shirt I was wearing. I raised a brow. "Yes?" I questioned. He came closer to me, looking like he wanted to talk privately. I waited for him to speak.

"Well, I actually really wanted to talk to you for a while." I was a bit shocked. "Despite what the other boys say, there has always been a part of me that hoped we would get out of here one day. But, the others want to forget about Earth and all the people there. I think they're in denial of their feelings. But you, Kyungmi, you don't deny your feelings. You gave me back my hope that I had when I was younger." He cheered while smiling widely. I felt his hopeful smile warm my heart. 

"Thanks, Hoseok. But I can't take credit for the hope in your heart, that's a mental battle you had with yourself." He smiled while we both laughed. Soon enough, arrived at the mall after lots of huffing and puffing, due to the fact that Seungcheol, Jin, and Namjoon thought it was a good day to walk since it was so nice out. My eyes widened at the mall. 

"Woah." I exclaimed with wide eyes. I was facing a large building, actually town, that was a dark maroon color on the outside. I couldn't wait to see what it looks on the inside. As we stepped in, I was looking at a similar concept as the ones on Earth, but this mall was much more colorful and high tech. The elevators were white and the people around were sporting multi-colored hair colors and extravagant clothing. 

People stared at me as I walked slowly in the mall. I heard them whisper and turn to talk to their friends. Some stopped to stare, some took pictures, some whispered to their friends, and most were really confused. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to face Namjoon, which surprised me. 

"Don't be freaked out. They've never seen a girl from Earth. They're really fascinated that the newcomer came in and is a girl. It's been a hot topic for a while," He explained. I nodded blankly at all the stares. I hate attention.

I walked quicker due to the stares and almost forgot how to walk. I heard someone laugh. I turned to punch who was laughing at me and saw Jungkook laughing. I glared at him. 

"Wow, how embarrassing." He commented with his arms crossed. I crossed my arms to compete with his sassy stance. 

"Whatever, I just don't like attention," I mumbled unconfidently. He leaned down close to my ear. 

"You should be taking advantage of the nice stares people are giving you, knowing you, you'll never get them on Earth." I pushed him away with his stupid smirk on his face. Despite his rude remarks and sassy comments, I felt relieved knowing he still wasn't in a had mood from the day before. I gave him a small smile. 

"You're right." I joked, but he didn't laugh.

"What the hell was that smile for? You're supposed to be getting angry." He poked my face while I made a face, but smiled. 

"It's nothing. I just smile when I'm angry," I lied. He crossed his arms again.

"Don't lie to me, why are you smiling?" As he kept pestering me, my smile just grew wider. I was going to longer, until I got pulled into a random store. 

"First store! Forever 101." I raised a brow at the name. "This store has the hottest trends and coolest styles for girls. Perfect for you!" Seungkwan said while pulling me to some racks. I could already tell this trip was going to be a mess. 

"Ok, ok, before we start throwing stuff at Kyungmi, let's spilt up." The boys cheered. "I know you guys wanted to come to the mall because I don't let you out enough, so let's spilt into small groups. But, some of us have to stay with Kyungmi." Seungcheol announced. The boys quickly started to form groups. 

"Ok, it looks like Jun, Soonyoung, Chan, and Minghao formed a group. Hmm, ok, Hansol, Mingyu, and Wonwoo. Jihoon, Joshua, Seokmin, Seungkwan, Jeonghan. And Taehyung, Jungkook, Jimin, Yoongi, and Hoseok." They all squealed out of excitement. "Jin, Seungcheol, and I will stay with Kyungmi. We also may need a few more volunteers to help shop with her. Plus, you all needa get closer with her because she's going to be with us for a long time." I heard slight groans. I just ignored it and pretended my feelings weren't hurt. 

"Hmmm, who should we pick on today?" All the leaders laughed evilly. 

"Hm, let's see, Mingyu, Hansol, and Wonwoo, stay with us." They groaned. 

"Why us?" They exclaimed. Still, I tried to ignore them again.

"Because, you're the smallest group of guys. Plus, Kyungmi knows one of you, AKA, Kim Mingyu. so you three will stay with us." I saw Hansol and Wonwoo playfully punch Mingyu and I felt sorta upset. Wow, no one wants to hang out with the new girl. 

"Hey, Kyungmi, it's not you. These guys just don't get out as much, that's why they're reacting this way." Seungcheol whispered to me. I looked to him and saw his fatherly eye smile. I couldn't help but give him back a smile I gave my dad to reassure him my safety and my feelings. He patted my back. "And kids, let's spread out, we'll call you if we need you." The boys ignored Seungcheol's words and started whooping before walking out into separate directions. I stared at the boys who were forced to stay with me and suddenly I felt uncomfortable. At least Seungkwan isn't here to throw random stuff at me like he was doing earlier. 

"So, Kyungmi, what fashion do you like?" Jin asked while looking through the racks. I scratched my heads nervously. 

"Well, uh, to be honest, I'm kinda picky. But, since you all are paying, and I have no clothes, I really don't care right now." I admit while looking at all the clothes I wouldn't dare to wear on Earth. Beggars can't be choosy. I sighed, looking at them already investigating all the clothes. I could tell they didn't, and couldn't, shop for girls very often, or at all for that matter.

"Wow, this pink is so pretty on this shirt," Jin mumbled. The ones I saw pouting were Hansol, Wonwoo, and even Mingyu. I knew I shouldn't be confused on why Mingyu didn't want to be with me, but I knew he wanted to go with the boys somewhere else than a store "just for girls." I frowned and walked over to them. 

"Hey, guys, I'm sorry you had to be here, you can leave if you want to, I'm not going to make you stay here," I spoke unsurely. Before they could respond, I felt someone put their arm on my shoulders.

"Hey now, Kyungmi. Don't let our sacrifices leave. I made them stay, so they will stay no matter what and be happy about it, ok boys?" Seungcheol confirmed. They looked in different directions while rolling their eyes. 

"Fine." They said while going to search for clothes. I crossed my arms.

"Why do we need to many to shop for me? I don't even like that much clothes." I argued, looking at their glum faces. Seungcheol chuckled.

"To make them suffer, of course." He laughed at his own joke, but I felt bad for them. He nudged me. "I was just joking, they'll get over it and help you. They actually like shopping more than you think, they also like shopping for pretty girls." He winked at me before pulling clothes from a rack. The blush didn't completely leave my face before he threw a few outfits at me. 

"What-"

"Here, try these on." He pulled me to the dressing rooms. "Come out in each of the outfits, I want to see you in all of them." He said before I went to the desk with the lady. She scanned me up and down before giving me a face that I didn't exactly know why she was giving it to me. She had red, pink, and yellow hair all on her head. A little bright, but I guess if she is happy, she's the prettiest like that. She raised a brow at me.

"What's up with your hair?" She asked. I almost gasped at her words. I literally was just thinking nicely about her hair, what's wrong with mine? I unconsciously touched my long black hair, suddenly feeling insecure. 

"What's wrong with my hair?" I questioned. She chuckled with a lollipop in . 

"What's with the color?" The audacity of this girl. 

"You mean my natural hair color?" I sassed. I was a customer yet she was questioning me? This doesn't want to make me buy anything from this stupid Forever 101! She adjusted her hair ponytail and shrugged. 

"Aren't you a sassy sister?" Now I was confused at her words. "Ok, anyways, choose any room you want, they're mostly free. All the girls left to follow some boys, stupid girls." Wow, the boys must be popular here. Well, they all are very good looking. I furrowed my eye brows. But some of their personalities make me wanna scream my head off. I sighed. 

"Good looking boys will prevail in any universe," I muttered. I didn't notice I said that out loud until the girl laughed.

"Wow, you're the first person who agreed with me." I looked at her happy face, that looked different from her pissed off one. She stuck out her hand. I immediately shook it. "I'm Son Wendy, you are?" I gave her a small smile. 

"Kim Kyungmi," I answered. She nodded slowly. 

"You're a bit different. Most girls right now would be following where the most popular boys of Htrae would be going." I chuckled nervously. 

"Yeah, I guess I'm a bit different." She has no idea that I'm with those popular boys. I gulped. She smiled and fixed her bright, dominantly red hair. 

"Well, those clothes aren't going to put on themselves, go." I nodded and rushed into one of the changing rooms. I first pulled on dark brown shorts that went slightly above mid-thigh paired with a white shirt with black stripes. I walked out of the dressing room and tried to look for Seungcheol. 

"Who you looking for, honey?" Wendy asked me. I was going to answer, but someone interrupted me. 

"Kyungmi, what took you so long? And-" Seungcheol stopped talking when he saw Wendy. She looked slightly surprised. "What are you doing here?" He asked. She scoffed. 

"I work here. What are you doing here?" She asked, but I felt she knew the answer. Seungcheol stuck up his hand and pointed at me.

"I'm shopping with her. She's the new newcomer we got. Just got here yesterday." Wendy's eyes widened.

"What? You didn't tell me you came from Earth! That explains why you said good looking boys will prevail in any universe! You're not from here!" She exclaimed while I nodded. She passed me and talked to Seungcheol. "Seulgi was talking to me about how her brother was saying the new one was a girl! And we finally get to meet her! Eeps!" She squealed while hugging me. I felt slightly uncomfortable because I didn't really like hugs. I just chuckled awkwardly to relieve my stress.

"Yeah, well, that's why we're shopping today. She needs clothes." Seungcheol said. She nodded. 

"Well, buy lots of stuff, I'll get more money that way." She stated honestly before walking away from me. "I hope we'll hang out more Kyungmi, these boys can get very annoying." I laughed, knowing the feeling already.

"Haha, very funny, Wendy noona, now let me continue shopping with Kyungmi." Wendy rolled her eyes.

"Ok, I'll be in the break room if you need me." I heard the door shut and knew she left us alone. 

"So, do you like this?" I nodded. 

"Yeah, but if I try on all of these clothes, we're going to be here forever. We'll just pick out a bunch of clothes for now and return some if we have to. But I'm pretty much going to wear anything right now because my clothes are dirty and I haven't changed in a long time." I groaned at my dirty attire. 

"Sorry, usually we would have you change into some of our clothes, but none of our clothes would fit you." I nodded.

After I took off the clothes I tried on, we decided just to grab a bunch of clothes and try them on later.

I saw Hansol and Mingyu picking out lots of clothes. It seems like they liked shopping for girls more than they thought. As we moved from store to store, I saw Wonwoo slowly start to deplete in energy. He was the only one who wasn't into shopping for me. I don't blame him, I was already tired when we first got to the mall. 

He was leaning against the wall a store called "Stacy." I slowly walked over to him and leaned against the wall like he was doing. He glanced over at me. 

"Already tired of the attention?" He asked mockingly. Despite his rude behavior, I was slightly blushing at the handsome guy right next to me. Wonwoo was about as good looking as Mingyu, and had a more normal height, not like Mingyu. Damn, even I'm falling for good looking guys. Don't be like those girls who chase after guys! Ok, there's nothing wrong with those girls, but that's such a tiring life.

"Nah, shopping was never my thing," I explained while gesturing to all the clothes. He chuckled. 

"Really? Don't all girls like shopping?" I mentally glared at him. Ok, he's good looking but stereotypical. 

"Not this girl. Shopping always drains my energy and I get irritated easier." He sipped on the drink he got when we stopped at Sunbucks. 

"I'm surprised. My sister loves shopping, just like her friends." I raised a brow. 

"Is one of your sister's friends named Wendy?" I asked. He almost spit out his drink. He started choking and I awkwardly pat his back. And he's pretty clumsy. 

"How'd you know that?" He finally asked. 

"Uh, she works at Forever 101. I saw her when I went into the dressing rooms. Seungcheol recognized her and said her friend was one of your guys' sister." I explained, taking his drink while he was coughing. I noticed it was empty now. 

"Oh, that makes sense." I was a bit confused to his change in behavior. I nodded to complete the silence.

"Want me to throw this away?" I asked, trying to get on his good side because Seungcheol forced him to stay with me all day long. 

"Sure, thanks." I smiled and said no problem before walking out to find a trash can. I felt the air from the outside hit my face. I breathed in deeply. I noticed the mall was slightly more packed than it was before due to the fact that now it was the afternoon, rather than early in the morning. I smiled to myself, loving the short time I had away from all the boys. I found the trash can and walked towards it. Once I turned around, I accidently hit someone's chest. 

"Oh, sorry," I apologized softly to the stranger. I noticed the man was staring straight at my face, not like when you bump into someone and they try to avoid eye contact. 

"Oh, it's fine, I wasn't watching where I was going." I gave him a small smile and walked on. Once I started walking, I realized something sort of unusual. I watched him walk on in another direction, walking into Forever 101, despite him being a middle aged man. 

That's weird, he didn't even throw anything away.
