Measurements

Lost and Found

"Time's up! Pens down!" 

It was finally the last day of examinations. Seyeon leaned back in her seat and heaved a sigh of relief. She had a good feeling about  her exams; after all, she had worked really really hard. 

Once the teacher collected all the exams scripts, she dismissed the class. 

"YESSSS!" Some girls screamed. "IT'S FINALLY OVER!" 

The school scattered, all going out to celebrate with their own circles of friends: some went off to have lunch, others went to catch a movie, but the fourth year students had something more important to do-- shopping, shopping for their prom dresses and make-up, to be exact. 

"Come on hurry up! Everyone's gonna be rushing for dresses!" 

"Let's go before they run out of nice ones." 

"Bethlets, we've got to go get fitted for our dresses. Let's go." Bethany called in a sing-song voice. 

"What does she mean?" a random girl asked.

"Beth's sponsoring our dresses. They're going to be custom-made." A Bethlet boasted.

"Yeah, and they're going to be specially made for us by an internationally acclaimed designer." Another Bethlet bragged. 

"Have fun rushing to grab your cheap gowns. Toodles~"

The girl looked at Bethany and her clique enviously as they strutted off and entered Bethany's chauffeured car. 

Once again, Seyeon was out of place, it seemed like she the only one not-so-hyped-up about prom. 

The phone in her pocket vibrated. 

It was a message from Sehun.

12: Yo! How were your exams? 

Me: Manageable. I think I did alright :D

12: Daebak (Y) What are you planning to do now?

Me: Idk...I'll probably go back to my dorm and catch up on Running Man. :D

12: WAEYO? == You should be celebrating. Come over this evening? Kyungsoo hyung's going to make bibimbap again :P

Seyeon's mouth watered at the thought of bibimbap.

Me: Yeah okay see you :D 

Seyeon skipped back to her dorm happily. She grabbed her laptop and flopped on her bed. Running Man Marathon, here we go! It felt great being able to relax after school, and not need to hit the books. 

About 30 minutes into an episode, Seyeon's phone rang. It was Sehun. Seyeon scowled for her episode was being disrupted. 

"Yes Oppa?" 

"Yah Oh Seyeon. Are you going to have some kind of prom or something?" 

Seyeon paused. How did he know? Why the sudden question? 

"Uhm....yeah next Friday...what about it?" 

"A group of Mallory High girls just walked into the boutique we're at for a photoshoot. I think one of them is that Bethany girl. They came to get their measurements taken for custom made dresses." 

"Ohhh..yeah it's definitely her. Did they see you?" 

"Hell yes, they started screaming. ANYWAY, WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION ANYTHING? HAVE YOU GOTTEN A DRESS?" 

"No, why would've I? I've been studying." 

"OH SEYEON. PROM MARKS THE END OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL LIFE. IT'S A MILESTONE. DON'T YOU WANT TO LOOK GOOD FOR IT?" 

"Nope sorry not interested." 

Seyeon hung up and went back to watching Running Man. She didn't even intend to attend prom. If she'd talked to Sehun any longer, he'd be able to convince her to go for prom. That wasn't going to happen. 

"RUDE!" Sehun exclaimed. 

What was wrong with his sister? Never had he ever met a girl who wasn't interested in prom. 

"What's up Sehun?" Luhan asked. EXO turned in their direction.

"This pabo, Seyeon's prom is next week and she's not prepared. She hasn't even gotten a dress and she's not a slightest bit worried!"

"Ah prom...prom's fun!" Suho exclaimed.

"Manager-hyung! Is there any way you could take time off my schedule? Pretty pleaseeee jaebal! I need to get Seyeon a dress!" Sehun pleaded.

"Sorry Sehun...our schedule's quite tight. We've gotta wrap up MV preparations before heading back to Korea." Manager-hyung looked at him apologetically. 

Sehun covered his face with his palms. Hopeless hopeless hopeless. What was he going to do about Seyeon? 

"Sorry to intrude, but I couldn't help but overhear your conversation." 

EXO turned around. It was up and coming designer Robert Kim. EXO was modeling was his latest fall-winter collection.

"Annyeonghaseyo." EXO greeted him. 

"What might be the problem here? And who's this Seyeon that you speak of?" 

"She's my dongsaeng. She's got a prom next week and she doesn't even have a dress." 

"Ah! Is she from Mallory High?" 

"Yes!" 

"Could I see a picture of her?" 

Sehun scrolled through his phone and showed him a picture of Seyeon and himself. 

"Ah...a beautiful little girl." 

"Yeah, she's bubbly and witty and intelligent too." Sehun boasted. 

"I've been requested by some Mallory High girls to make their prom dresses....I don't see the problem with making one more...for free of course." 

"FOR REAL?" Sehun shrieked in disbelief. 

Robert Kim chuckled. "Yes, boy. But you'll have to give me her measurements as soon as possible." 

"I'm sorry. THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU SO MUCH!" Sehun bowed.

Later in the evening...

"Ding dong!" 

Seyeon arrived at EXO's apartment. Coordi-unnie and Manager-Oppa were there too. Even they couldn't miss out on D.O.'s bibimbap.

All the members greeted her with warm smiles, all except Sehun. 

Seyeon ran up to Sehun and tugged on his shirt like a little girl. 

"Sorry Oppa...about just now....I just didn't want to talk about prom..." She smiled apologetically.

Sehun flicked Seyeon in the forehead. "I was just being concerned. I don't get why you're so adamant about attending prom."

"Yeah, it'll be fun!" Tao said.

"It's good to dress up once in a while you know!" Baekhyun said.

"I'm sorry...I just don't see the importance of prom. Plus there'll be guys from Kingston High. It'll be awkward."

"Enough about that. Oh Seyeon, as punishment for being rude to me, you'll have to listen to Coordi-noona, or else you won't get to eat bibimbap. The rest of the EXO hyungs can't save you." Sehun dictated.

Coordi-unnie placed one hand on Seyeon's shoulder. 

"Don't worry, it won't take too long!" She grinned. 

Seyeon couldn't help but agree.

Coordi-unnie took out a measuring tape and started taking Seyeon's measurements. 

Seyeon blinked. 

"What's this for?" 

"Oh uhm. We're thinking of making a uhm clothing line for teenagers. I just need some measurements to make a sample piece...hehehe" Coordi-unnie stammered. 

The EXO members smiled. Chanyeol winked at Sehun. Everyone knew Coordi-noona was taking down Seyeon's measurements for her surprise prom dress. They felt relieved as the usually sharp Seyeon bought Coordi-noona's words. 

"Oh! That sounds cool!" Seyeon replied. 

"Done! Thanks Seyeon! You've been a great help!" Coordi-unnie smiled. 

"BIBIMBAPPPP'S READDDDYYYY!" Chen hollered. 

"Am I qualified to eat my bibimbap now? I'm really sorry Oppa, I'll never be so rude again." Seyeon pouted. 

Sehun put an arm around Seyeon's shoulder and smiled. 

He wasn't really angry, he just had to come up with an excuse to help Mr Kim get her measurements for her dress.

"Let's go."
