A/N: Sorry this took awhile but with aff going haywire and everything.... Anyway, it's not a double update but this chapter is about 3 regular chapters long so i figure it counts. I hope you guys like all the fluff you're getting now because there won't be a lot later. and also if you get bored halfway through you can just skip to the end. there is some important things at the end and in the middle though.

Suzy led you into the store with the boys following. She turned around after a minute and shooed them off, scattering them in different directions. Suzy continued toward the back of the store. There was a sliding door to the side that she pushed open. She took your arm gently and pulled you through. "So I don't know anything about what you like, and we can't talk. But I have pictures that you can use to help, and I'm sure the boys are picking things out to make you try on as well." While she was talking, she pulled you to the center of the room and swung you in front of her. She grabbed your arm and shoved your sleeve up, holding tight when you tried to jerk your arm back. "Thought so," she muttered to herself. "Well I think a cute style would suit you best, but it's up to you. There's so many styles you can choose from like...," She continued talking but walked to the door and shut it. She flicked a switch on the wall and a hum started ringing through the room. "Okay, we can talk freely now. That hum blocks demon super hearing, so no one can hear back here right now." She walked back to you and pulled your sleeves up above the elbow. She kept a firm grip on your arms as you tried to flinch away and turned your arms over looking at all the marks of your past. "Wow," she said quietly. "What did they do to you?" You knew it was a rhetorical question, and you also knew that by them, she meant your past owners and not your current ones. She glanced at the door. "Do they know about this?" You shook your head no. "Do you want them to know?" You hesitated. You knew that you should probably tell them because there were some that needed to be healed, or you might get sick. But at the same time, you didn't trust them enough to let them know about all the scars you'd picked up. Looking any weaker then you did now could be hazardous to your survival. Your hand went instinctively to the mark on your stomach. You glanced at the girl who was watching you and shook your head again. She nodded understandingly and walked to a little box in the corner. She pulled out something and walked back to you. She grabbed your arm and snapped something around your wrist. It was a bracelet. You watched as it started glowing.

As the simple silver band around your wrist started to glow, every mark, scar, and cut started to shine as well. Then, they dissolved out of sight. "It's an illusionary bracelet," she said. "It works inside the mall including the parking lot. But it won't work outside this property. It will hide anything unnatural while you're trying on clothes. Okay?" You nodded while twisting the band around your wrist. Suzy walked away again and came back with a tape measurer. "Now, I really do have to get you fitted, so can you strip down and hold your arms out?" You nervously fiddled with your hands. You didn't really want to undress in front of someone you just met even if it was for a harmless reason. She noticed your hesitation and smiled softly at you. "Come here," she said and walked to an area at the end of the white room that could be curtained off. She approached a chest in the corner and looked back at you a few times before pulling out a couple of things. "You can wear these if it makes you more comfortable." She handed you two articles of clothing.

You looked at the tan things Suzy had handed you. One looked like just a stretchy circle of fabric that was about six inches wide. The other looked like shorts, but you could tell they would be incredibly short and skin tight. You looked at the other girl in confusion. She took the first thing from you and showed that it would fit across your bust. (A/N: they don't use bras here. They normally just do binding. If you don't know what that is it means that you use like a bandage roll and wrap it around your chest so it covers everything and works like a sports bra. Basically Suzy gave her a tan tube top). You then assumed that the other piece just worked like shorts. "You can wear these under your clothes. And while I measure you, you don't have to be completely bare, alright?" You nodded. She nudged you back a bit, so she could pull the curtain around. You stripped and cautiously put on the things you had been given before slipping slowly out into the open. "Feel better?" Suzy asked you. You nodded and let her push you into the middle of the room. "Well, I knew you were skinny but man. I hope Hyunseung is making you eat." Your lips twitched, and you nodded. She raised your arms out to the side and grabbed her measuring tape from the table. She moved behind you and wrapped the tape around your chest before writing a number on her clipboard. She measured your shoulder width, marking more numbers on the clipboard. Then, she went to wrap the tape around your waist. You trembled inside and out knowing that one slip of her hand, and you would be in a world of pain. You wouldn't be able to hide that from them. Suzy would surely tell them about it, and then, they would have the biggest weapon possible to use against you. She must have noticed your shaking because she was suddenly in front of you, holding your face in her hands. "Shh Shh Shh," she said soothingly. "If you don't want to continue, I can make the boys take you home okay? Do you want to stop?"

You took several deep breaths, trying to calm yourself down. There was no way to do it, though. If you said yes, then the boys would ask questions and probably watch you closer which would be more dangerous. If you said no, there was a possibility that she might brush against that cursed mark, and the consequences of that would be worse. There was no way to win. If she kept measuring, things would more than likely turn out badly. You eventually just looked at Suzy and cautiously grabbed the tape from her. Carefully, you wrapped it around your waist avoiding the mark. She grinned. "I'm gonna take that to mean that you want to continue." You nodded. You had purposely made the end of the tape where she would need to look on the opposite side of your waist. You hoped she didn't need to do any other measurements around your stomach and waist.

It turned out she didn't. She measured around your hips and took your shoe size before instructing you to put on your clothes over your new underclothes. When you came back out, she wrapped an arm around your shoulders and led you up to the front counter. She pulled a book out and set it in front of you. "This book is full of different fashion ideas. It should help us pick things out for you." You nodded. She flipped the book open to a section with girlier, cutesy clothing. "These are some things that I think would suit you well. Don't worry about colors. We can change that easily. Do you like any of these?" You looked at the pictures. There were a few dresses, but a lot more outfits made up of shirts and skirts and pants and shorts. You didn't really like exposing a lot of skin, for obvious reasons, so anything short was not something you would wear willingly. There was one outfit made up of a lilac shirt with flowing long sleeves and a cinched waist and a pair of straight-legged dark denim jeans. You pointed it out to Suzy, and she nodded.

"You like that one?" You nodded, and she giggled lightly. "Do you like the colors?" You nodded again. "Alright. Let's look for some others that you like, too." You flipped through the pages and came across a long dress. Its skirt flared out at the hips and ran to the floor. The bodice had a square neckline embroidered with lace and the sleeves were done in a renaissance style. You found it pretty and to your style, so you showed it to Suzy. She gave you a strange look before shrugging and writing a note on her clipboard. You picked out a couple of other outfits, all consisting of long sleeves and pants. "You're lucky that the weather's getting cooler. Otherwise, they would want to know why you don't have any interest in the cute sun dresses or skirts. But don't worry. You can come back to get a summer/spring wardrobe later when it warms up. By then, all those little bumps and bruises should be healed." She gave you a sad look. "You know, they would heal faster if you let Hyunseung help you." She frowned when you shook your head violently. "Shh shh," she hushed as she held your shoulders. "It's up to you. You don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to." You stopped shaking after a minute of deep breathing and signed 'thank you' without thinking. She made a confused face, but you couldn't think of a way to explain it to her. You just frowned and stared at the ground. She simply shrugged, grabbed your arm at the elbow, and led you toward the racks that would have the clothes you were looking for.

"Boys!" she said at a just-slightly-over-regular volume. Suddenly, the three of them stood in front of her awaiting orders. You blinked in confusion until you remembered that demons have super speed along with super hearing. And apparently they were intimidated by Suzy enough to come immediately when she called. She started talking to them and pointed some things out on her clipboard. You assumed she was giving them your sizes and pointing out things you liked about the outfits. "And we're just looking for a winter wardrobe right now. You can come back when it starts getting warmer again." They all nodded, and then split up among the racks.

Suzy dragged you over to a rack with different long sleeved shirts. "We need to look for the ones that have a pink ribbon on them. Those are the ones that should fit you the best." You worked with Suzy to pull out shirts that had long sleeves in the right sizes. She pulled out two that you liked a lot while you just kind of pushed the hangers around. You really weren't good at shopping at all. She pulled out a couple more shirts and dragged you over to the jeans. She pulled out several different styles of jeans all in a dark denim. "You prefer dark colors don't you?" she asked. You nodded, slightly surprised by her keen observance.

With her arms laden with clothing, she led you back to the dressing area, but she stopped outside the sliding door to turn back and whistle. All the boys appeared again within a few seconds. Suzy smiled at you and looked at them. "What did ya get?"

Yoseob held up a dress with a purple skirt that had black down the sides and a black lace bodice with long sheer black sleeves. The skirt looked like it would run to the floor. It was just the kind of thing that you liked, and it was really pretty too.

Dongwoon had a dress that consisted of a white long-sleeved shirt worn under a charcoal gray dress with no sleeves of its own. It had lacy straps about an inch thick and a ruffle skirt that started at the waist and would hit just below your knees. It was really cute, but you were slightly wary of the length of the skirt.

The dress Gikwang had was navy blue and simple. It had a slight scoop neckline and was seamless, but it was fitted at the waist. It had long sleeves that wouldn't fit too tightly and a skirt that would twirl if you could judge from the way the fabric was moving now. However, the skirt looked like it would only go to your knees.

"Well, they seem to take instruction well. Do you like the dresses they found?" Suzy turned to you, but you knew that you couldn't voice your worries to just her. You glanced at Dongwoon and Gikwang before lowering your eyes and signing with a sigh

I like to wear knee-high socks with shorter dresses.

You didn't dare move after the last sign. You were a little afraid that they might take offense to your complaint. Taking a chance, you glanced up and saw Dongwoon nodding thoughtfully, but Gikwang had his eyes wide open in surprise. It might have been a trick of the light, but it looked like he was blushing.

You noticed that both Yoseob and Dongwoon were smirking teasingly at Gikwang now. He looked at Suzy. "I'll go get some," he said, his voice sounding higher than usual. He disappeared into the depths of the store. You quirked your head to the side in confusion at his behavior.

Suddenly, the other two boys started laughing. Yoseob eventually calmed down and tried to explain the situation. "Sorry, but you just basically did the equivalent of kissing him full on the lips." You flushed crimson and felt even more confused. "Gikwang has this thing for girls in dresses and knee highs. He thinks it's hot."

That would explain the high voice and the blushing, but you didn't see how a dress and knee socks could be considered 'hot'. It didn't matter, though, because the other two had started cracking up again, and you wouldn't get any more information out of them. Suzy had disappeared while Yoseob had been 'explaining' things. She came back after the two had calmed down slightly and were just panting. In her hands, she had the dress you had pointed out in the catalogue. "Should we wait for him to get back or should we dive right in?"

"He may not be back for a while, so we should probably just start trying things on," Dongwoon said. Flushing lightly, he caught himself and corrected, "I mean make her try on stuff! Not us trying on the clothes!" Yoseob snickered and shook his head at him, but Suzy just giggled and ushered you towards the dressing room.

She gathered up the dresses from the boys, including the one Gikwang had apparently dumped off on Dongwoon, and led you into the spacious changing room. She hung up the dresses on one hook and the shirts on another. She laid the folded jeans neatly on a bench that ran along the back of the room across from the mirror. The room looked to be about twelve feet wide and six feet deep. "I'll stay to help you put on the dresses, and then I'll let you do the jeans and shirts yourself. Alright?" You nodded and she gestured to the dresses. "Pick one," she said with a smile. You reached out and touched the first one that you found in the catalogue. "I still don't know why you're drawn to this. It's so old-fashioned. Or is that why you like it?" You nodded slowly. For some reason, the style just called out to you. You liked Renaissance styles.

Suzy untangled the dress from the hanger, and you suddenly noticed that the back was a lace up style. You definitely needed Suzy's help with this one. She loosened the strings while you started stripping off your outer layers. After you had folded your outfit on the bench, Suzy motioned you over. She held the dress open and you stepped through. You could feel the dress skirts rustling around your legs as she pulled the dress up. You slipped your arms through the sleeves and Suzy slipped around behind you. You heard a zip as the dress closed up to your waist and then Suzy started tightening all of the laces. The laces stopped around your shoulder blades leaving the back of the dress with an open V. That worried you a bit but you were entranced by how the dark red velvet fabric flowed with every movement. You mouthed 'wow' as you turned slightly to either side. Suzy stepped up next to you.

"I have to admit. Even though I don't care for the style, you look beautiful in that dress." You flushed at her words. "Let's go show the boys. I bet you'll knock 'em dead." She gave you a wink, pushing you toward the door. She snuck out in front of you and dashed over to stand next to the boys while you hesitantly walked out alone.

"Oh my goddess."

"Wow."

"Gorgeous."

They all looked dumb struck. Suzy looked at them then gave you a huge smile and a double thumbs up. You noticed Gikwang had wandered back too. His arms were full of knee highs in all different colors and patterns.

"Suzy, did you pick that? You usually don't do retro," Yoseob asked innocently.

"No, actually, she picked that out. I don't care much for Renaissance or any ancient style for that matter, but she was drawn to it and was determined to try it on. She picked it first." Suzy smiled at the blonde and then back at you. "I think she may even have a better sense of fashion then me."

"You look," Dongwoon started to say, "just wow." His eyes travelled along the fabric, and you knew he was as entranced as you had been with the material. You couldn't resist the urge to sway slightly side to side. His eyes watched the skirt move as you had, in a mesmorized manner.

"Well, don't just stand there! Give us a twirl," the blonde said while motioning with his finger for you to spin. He smiled brightly at you, and you couldn't help but comply with his wishes. You turned in a slow circle feeling the skirt billow out from your legs. It rustled pleasantly back into place as you faced the group again.

"Wow," came the response from Gikwang.

The youngest laughed. "What's wrong Kiki? This is an opportune moment for you to hit on her, and all you can say is wow?" Dongwoon laughed harder when Gikwang glared at him.

"Alright, you two can fight while she puts on another dress. Can I have those Gikwang?" Suzy asked. He looked down at his arms and flushed slightly again. He lowered his eyes to the ground and handed over the socks to Suzy. The other two boys laughed at the now bashful one. Suzy pushed you back into the changing room and started pulling the laces loose. "Which one do you want next?" she asked while she was busily working. You pointed to the purple and black one. "Alright."

She continued pulling at the laces until it was loose enough and then you heard the zip of the zipper slipping down. The dress pooled around your feet and you stepped out carefully with Suzy's help. With a little difficulty, she wrestled the dress back into place on its hanger. Then, she grabbed the dress Yoseob had picked out and ped it. She held it open while you stepped into it. You slipped your arms through the sleeves and felt the fabric closing up around you. The dress felt cool and satiny under your fingertips. The sleeves were done in a sheer mesh with a flower pattern embroidered in it. The mesh went across the top of the dress where the shoulders were too. You supposed that if someone wanted to, they could cut of the mesh part and just wear it as a strapless dress. The rest of the bodice was black and continued the flower pattern, but it was outlined in a thin gold seam to make it stand out. The embroidery thickened and overlapped down the sides of the lilac skirt making it look almost solid black. You twisted side to side and the skirt swished and flared slightly but otherwise didn't move. It looked heavy but actually felt light as a feather. Suzy grabbed your arm and pulled you out the door back in front of the others.

"Oh! That's mine!" the blonde said excitedly.

"It's nice but a little too dark for her. She looks gothic," Dongwoon said with a slight frown.

"Hyunseung umma would like it," Gikwang said off-handedly. (A/N: *cough cough* HINT *cough*)

"Do you have the same style in different colors?" Yoseob asked Suzy. She didn't respond but looked at the tag and disappeared among the racks. She appeared again with a dress that looked to be in the same style but with friendlier colors. It was a light cream color with sparkling gold embroidery.

"Come on. Let's try this instead," she said motioning with her head toward the door. You quickly switched dresses and stood back in front of them.

And yet again, they were struck dumb.

"Woah. What a change."

"You look like an angel."

"Wow."

"Oh, now who's the one just saying wow?" Gikwang said to the youngest with a smirk.

"You know 'woah' is just barely not wow," he snapped back. They locked into a staring contest, each waiting for the other to back down.

Yoseob walked toward you and grabbed your hand. He lifted your hand above your head and said, "Spin." You spun slowly in a circle. When you came back around, Yoseob smiled brightly and the other two were staring at you, mouths agape. Suzy made a noise of approval.

"When you move, the patterning becomes almost hypnotic. It's stunning," she said simply. Yoseob smiled at her praise and then walked over to the two who were still in la la land. Suzy took your hand and led you back to the changing room.

"Next?" she asked from behind you as the zipper went down again. You stared at the last two dresses and gestured toward the very cutesy style dress Dongwoon picked. You stepped out of the cream and gold dress and waited patiently while Suzy hung it back on its hanger. She grabbed the next dress and pulled the shirt out of the dress. "We get a lot of people who buy these because they can wear them year round. Just take out the shirt, and you have a perfect lacy spaghetti strap dress." You looked at the straps and raised an eyebrow at her. "Alright, maybe not a spaghetti strap dress, but you know what I mean." She walked over and shoved the shirt over your head. You pushed your arms through the sleeves while Suzy took the dress off the hanger. The shirt was only long enough to cover your ribs, but it was form fitting. The dress slipped over the shirt easily and rustled pleasantly against your legs. The skirt just passed your knees, a length that instantly made you nervous and fidgety. Suzy just grabbed your hand and pulled you toward the end of the bench where she had laid out the socks. She looked at the dress and picked up a pair of knee highs in a plaid of light blue, navy blue, and light gray. Slipping them on, you found that the socks reached to right above your knees making them almost look like tights. You liked the overall look of the outfit especially now that you didn't have to worry about any exposed skin.

Suzy took you out to the boys again. Dongwoon was smiling ear to ear. Yoseob gave a low whistle and nodded in approval. Gikwang had turned bright red and was staring at you in a way that made you slightly uncomfortable.

"I knew it would suit you perfectly! You look like a doll! So cute!" Dongwoon said excitedly. He looked like he just won the lottery. Suzy laughed at his behavior, and he looked at her strangely.

"I liked mine better, but I have to say, you look adorable. Do you like looking cute?" he said, his lips twitching into a grin. You nodded slowly and his grin turned into a full blown smile. "Well then, spin! You know you want to!"

You spun around a couple times, enjoying the way that the skirt moved. Gikwang was so red in the face right now that it was almost comical. He opened and closed his mouth like a fish a couple of times but couldn't seem to form any coherent words. When he eventually made a comment, he could only get out one word in a very high pitched voice. "Cute."

The other two started laughing at him while Suzy pulled you back to the changing room. She motioned for you to pull the dress over your head as she went to get the hanger. She held the dress while you pulled the shirt off. You handed it to her, and she rearranged the pieces on the hanger before grabbing the last dress. She ped it and slid it off the hanger. She held it open and you stepped into it. As she pulled it in to place, you slipped your hands through the sleeves, and she pulled the zipper up. Suzy walked over to the end of the bench where the socks were again and picked up a pair that were white with navy blue ribbons that spiraled down from two bows at the top. The socks reached to just below your knees when you put them on, leaving about three inches between the bottom of the skirt and the top of the socks. "You may also want to put on these." Suzy handed you a pair of black shorts. You gave her a questioning look, but she merely sighed and said, "Just put them on. Trust me, you'll thank me later." You put them on under the dress and found that they were short enough to easily be hidden by the dress and tight enough to not be noticeable under the fabric. Suzy adjusted the dress slightly and made sure your socks were at the same height before she nudged you back towards the door. With Suzy holding the door open for you, you walked out and stood shyly before the boys with your hands clasped in font of you.

Gikwang zeroed in on your legs immediately and flushed but not quite as badly as last time. He swallowed hard and managed to scale his eyes up the rest of the dress to your face. You nervously dropped your gaze to the floor before glancing up through your eyelashes at the other two to see their reactions. Yoseob nodded his approval, but didn't seem overly impressed which was okay because it was a more casual dress. Dongwoon gave you a quick thumbs up when he caught you looking his way and then went back to terrorizing teasing Gikwang.

Suzy rolled her eyes and snapped at the youngest. "Would you stop?! Normally I wouldn't care, but this has been going on all day! Give it a rest! I would like to move on with this session please. That means I need all of you paying attention and behaving." You looked at her in surprise. You hadn't noticed that she was getting irritated, and you certainly hadn't expected an easy going person like Suzy to just explode like that.

Obviously, the boys hadn't either because they were all staring wide-eyed at Suzy. After a few minutes of their fearful fidgeting, Dongwoon's eyes lit up. "I know! You're still mad at me for scaring you and making you change earlier!"

Suzy glared and made a low hissing noise. You stepped back from her and stared at the ground. Angry demons are the scariest thing to any human. You fidgeted slightly and took another step back. A slight shadow fell over you as someone stepped between you and Suzy. "Suzy, you need to calm down. You're scaring Laeri, and I'm pretty sure you're the only one who's gotten her to open up this much." You looked up at the back of the blonde's head in front of you. Yoseob turned and wrapped an arm around your shoulders pulling you forward to face Suzy. She was turned around and rubbing her temples. When she turned back to you, she looked back to her normal peppy self.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you, but sometimes that boy...." She glared at Dongwoon as she let her statement trail off. He smiled sheepishly and stepped slightly behind Gikwang apparently fearing for his life. The elder only smirked back at him and walked towards you leaving him out in the open to fend for himself.

"I think my dress is my favorite so far," he said standing with his arms crossed in front of him. "But you don't even know why, do you?" You tilted your head to the side in confusion. Yoseob wandered over to keep Suzy from killing Dongwoon. Gikwang watched him go, and then turned back to look at you. "Come here," he said. You took his hand that had appeared in front of you, and he pulled you away from the wall slightly. He twirled you around as if you were dancers in the middle of a ballroom dance. As you spun, the skirt on the dress floated up until it was straight out. You understood what Suzy had meant about thanking her later. The shorts were definitely necessary.

Gikwang let you stop spinning, but when you went to look up at him, he was gone. You looked at the others in confusion; Suzy shrugged and the other two glanced around. When he couldn't be found, Suzy grabbed your hand and took you back to change clothes.

"Alright, I helped you with the more difficult things, so after I hang this up you can just pick whatever jeans and shirts you think should go together. Okay?" You nodded and let her help you take off the dress. She hung it up on its hanger and grabbed the four dresses that had her approval before turning to smile at you. She waved and slipped out the door. You turned to the shirts and jeans and picked out an outfit from the catalogue. You put it on and walked out to where the others were waiting.

An hour was spent with you running back and forth between the changing room and the viewing area. Suzy would send you back to try multiple shirts with the same pair of jeans and vice versa to see what worked best. When she was finally satisfied with the amount of clothing you had tried on, she dragged you to the back of the store to try on shoes. Suzy set you up with a pair of tennies, a few pairs of flats in various colors, and, after a lot of arguing, a pair of black sling-back heels. Then, she pulled out a few pairs of sweatpants and yoga pants which were accompanied by some casual long-sleeve shirts. She brought everything to the front counter where Gikwang had magically appeared. Yoseob pulled out his wallet and took out a silver credit card. "Hyunseung uses this card to keep track of all the house finances, so we use it on these shopping trips," he explained.

"Um, Hyung I can do that," Dongwoon interjected. "Then, I'll help Suzy bag everything and take it out to the car. You can go to the food court and get lunch." He glanced at Suzy and blushed slightly.

Yoseob followed his gaze and then smirked. "Okay, Woonie. You can stay here, alone, with Suzy and help her." He looked over at Gikwang who was kind of hovering near the counter and waved him over. "Woonie's gonna stay here, so we get to find lunch."

Gikwang smiled coyly. "Oh, so little Woonie's gonna stay here, by himself, with Suzy." They both smirked at the youngest who had now turned a bright pink.

"Sh-shut up," he stuttered obviously embarrassed. "Just, go have lunch."

The other two laughed and dragged you out of the store. When you were outside, Yoseob leaned over and whispered in your ear, "Dongwoon has a thing for Suzy. He always offers to stay behind and help her. I don't think she knows he likes her, though, and that's why we like that." He straightened up and said, "He's gonna have to tell her someday."

Gikwang nodded in agreement. "And someday I'm sure he'll slip up, and she'll find out. For now, we don't have to worry about it." He looped an arm around your waist and pulled you closer. "Let's go eat."
