3rd

Youngbae was at the center of the mall standing next to the big water fountain. He smiled at Tiffany's last text, He then remembered his manager's words to him about him being jealous. "I can't be jealous, can I? I mean it's too early to like her like that." He thought to himself.

While he was in his own world he didn't notice Yubin walking up and looking around for him. She was about to call him to see where he was at when she spotted him next to the fountain. A smile instantly plastered on her face when she saw him. She notice that he was in his own world and there was something on his mind. "He looks so cute." She gushed. "I wonder what he's thinking about?" She thought to herself as she made her way to him. She then got a playful thought when she got closer. She sneakily walked the other direction and around the water fountain. She crouched down and hid behind the corner of fountain, not caring how she look or the way people were looking at her. She only had one thought in mind and that was accomplishing her little mission.

She carefully made her way towards Youngbae who was still in his world. She got behind him and smiled trying to hold her giggles. "OPPA IM HERE!" She yelled as she grabbed him by the shoulders.

"OMO!" Youngbae yelled as he jumped away from her. He look back with a shock and scared expression on his face causing Yubin to laugh.

"YAH! That's not funny. Trying to give me a heart attack?" He said with a hand on his chest taking deep breaths.

"Mianeh oppa, I couldn't help it." Yubin said as she calmed down. Youngbae couldn't help but smile at her. "I'll get you next time, just wait and see." He playfully warned her.

"Thanks for the heads up." She giggled. "So what's the plan?" She asked. "Well since we're here to buy you a shirt let's do that first." Youngbae suggested. "Sounds good to me." She beamed with a big smile. A smile that Youngbae couldn't help to be pulled in by. He stared at her with a goofy smile. "She's so cute." He thought to himself.

"Um oppa?” Yubin said as she poke his shoulder causing Youngbae to snap out his little world. "Huh? Yeah?"

"Are you okay? You had a goofy smile on and you spaced out."

"Oh, I'm fine. I uh I ju-just remembered something the guys said that's all." He quickly said as he stuttered his excuse.

"Oh okay. Ready to go?" She asked.

"Yeah, let's go." Youngbae smiled as they started walking. As they walked they both started to feel a unwelcomed awkwardness setting in. "I need to say something before it gets really uncomfortable." They both thought.

"How wa..." "I like.." They both said at the same time cutting each other off. They looked at each other and laughed.

"Sorry, you first." Youngbae said. Yubin smiled and nodded.

"How was practice today?"

"It was fine except the fact that our wonderful leader wanted to practice non-stop for two hours." Youngbae sighed."

"Well he just wants the best for the fans. Can't really blame him for that can you?" She giggled at him.

"Oh yes I can." He smiled. "But what about you? How was your practice?"

"It was fine, All we did was vocal lessons. Sangjang-nim wants us to start going the gym regularly about three times a week." She sighed.

"Oh that's not bad. I try to go six days a week." She looked at him as if he had a second head growing on his neck.

"Why would you do that? And how do you have that much time?" He can only chuckle at her reaction.

"Well that's because working out relaxes me. I try go after practice or early in the mornings before practice. Sometimes I go late at night."

"Wow that's dedication." Yubin said admiring his dedication.

"Aha I guess." He shrugged.

After a few minutes of talking they reached the store. "I've never been here before." Youngbae said as he looked around while they walked in.

"Well that's no surprise. This store mostly has women clothing. They do have a men's section. But it's really small." Yubin said as she looked around. "It's in the back corner if you to check it out."

" No, it's okay." He shook his head and followed her. "So what kind of shirt are you looking for?" Youngbae asked as he looked at the clothes.

"Hmm well something urban and chic." She replied, Youngbae nodded and looked around. He honestly don't really know women's fashion or fashion in general all too well. He likes to keep it simple his style. Nothing too bold or dramatic. His style was simple and comfortable with a hip hop twist.

He walked around looking at the different brands, colors, shapes and sizes. He looked confused as he saw one with bright colors and shapes. 'This looks like something Jiyong would wear.' He thought to himself.

"You found something you like oppa?" Yubin asked as she looks up at him, snapping him out of his little world.

"Huh? Oh no, I just found something that Jiyong would wear with absolute confidence." He smiled at her. The sight of his smile on TV always made Yubin smiled, consciously and unconsciously. But to see it up close, this made her shy and lost for words. "O-oh ye-yeah? She mentally was screaming at herself for stuttering like a fool. They continue to look around the store, Yubin found a few things that she liked but couldn't decide on what to pick.

"Oppa, I like these but I'm having a hard time choosing which one to take." She pouted towards Youngbae. This cute action caused Youngbae to blush like a little school boy. "W-why don't you try them all on. Then we'll decide on which one fits you the best." He suggested trying his best not to sound like a complete fool.

"That's a great idea oppa." She smiled at him widely, Yubin suddenly grabbed hold of his hand leading him to the changing rooms. "Wait here oppa, I'll try them on one at a time. I'll come out and show you how I look in each one. And I'll want your honest opinion on each one."

"Yeah okay." Youngbae nodded. Yubin smiled and head into one of the vacant rooms. Youngbae looked around and see a few chairs across from him,. He walked over and took a seat as he waited for Yubin to come out.

"Man, what do I know about girl fashion?" He said to himself. "Hmm I should ask a expert." He said and pull out his phone. "Maybe Gummy noona can help me." He then proceeded to text Gummy, a dear friend who acts like a big sister to him and the rest of the Big Bang members.

"Noona, are you busy? I need help on something."

Youngbae leaned back against the chair and looked around. He noticed a few of the female workers who were overseeing the changing rooms talking amongst themselves. Taking quick glances at him. He made eye contact with them and gave them a friendly smile with a small wave. This caused them to giggle like little school girls who see their crush, they gave him a shy wave back. He then felt his phone vibrate, he looked down and saw Gummy replied back.

"Youngbae-ya, Annyeong. I'm not busy, I just finished up a meeting with Sangjang-nim. Wae?"

Before he could replied back Yubin came out with one of the shirts she choose. "Oppa, I'm back. Sorry for taking too long. I was trying to decide which one to wear first." She said with a sheepish smile. "Its fine. I'm kinda used to it actually. Jiyong is like that as well." He chuckled.

Yubin giggled at his comment about his fellow member. "So what do you think?" she said as she pulled the bottom of the shirt and spun around for him.

She was wearing a modest blue and white mini checkered pattern top. The sleeves was loose they stops right above her elbow, and the shoulders of the top had small strings that you tie up.

"You look good in that one, I also like the little stings." Youngbae pointed as he commented

"You think so? It's not too modest that'll make it look boring?" Yubin asked as she walked to the mirror to look over herself once more. Youngbae shook his head at her. "No, it suites you well." He smiled at her.

Yubin nodded and turned towards him. "Thank you oppa. Okay, on to the next one." She smiles and head back to the dressing room. Youngbae sat back down and took out his phone. "I almost forgot to text back noona." He said while he replied back to Gummy.

"Well, I'm at the mall with a friend trying to help her out pick out a shirt. And I'm no fashionista like Jiyong, so could you help me out?" A few moments later she replied back.

"BWOH?! HER?! My shy dongsaeng is with a girl?!" He chuckled at her text. He can feel her excitement and imagine seeing her surprised face.

"Neh. It's a long story. I'll tell you next time I see you for lunch. But please help."

"Arasso, You better. But how could I help you?"

"Well liked I said before, I'm helping her picking out a shirt. But I really don't know what to say."

"Aigoo my shy dongsaeng is a babo. Compliment her if she looks good in it. And be gentle with her if she doesn't. Don't say things like: Its ugly. Why that? Basically don't be like Jiyong when he judges Seungri's choice of clothing. Kekeke" Youngbae let out a small chuckle when he read her text.

"Okay, that's simple enough. Thank you noona. I'll talk to you later."

"Neh, I'll be expecting to know about this girl. Bye, hwaiting!" Youngbae smiled and place his phone back in his pocket. He then looked up and saw Yubin walking up with her second choice of top.

"I'm back oppa. How does this one look?" She asked him. "This is my favorite one out of the 3." She beamed at him. She was wearing a white off the shoulder blouse that had black floral patterns. He couldn't help but be in awe how beautiful she looked in a simple blouse.

"You look beautiful." He replied softly, but loud enough for her to hear. Yubin felt her cheeks burning up. She tried her best to hold in the squeal, but failed letting out a small one. She was on cloud nine, her crush told her she looked beautiful.

"Th-thank yo-you o-oppa." She stuttered shyly while looking, not daring to look up at him.

"You're welcome." Youngbae smiled at her. "Honestly, I think this one is my favorite as well." He said while he took a step back to look at her better.
"Re-really?" Yubin asked and looked up at him. "Yeah, really." He answered truthfully smiling brightly at her. "Oh okay. Let me go and try on the next one." She said softly and turned back around with a huge smile on her face, Thanking whoever for making the blouse and the store for having it.

Youngbae on the other hand just stood there, the smile still plastered on his face as he watch head back to the dressing room. A few minutes later Yubin came back not wearing the third shirt but instead she was wearing what she wore before. "I'm ready to go oppa." She smiled.

"Oh? Are you not going to try on the last one?" He asked her. She shook her head shyly looking at the ground. "No, I've made my choice." She said softly.

"Alright then let's go and check out." He said to her. She nods and together they walk to the register. They waited in line until a register was open, they walked up and saw a young woman smiling widely at them. "Omo, An-annyeonghaseyo" She shyly bowed at them before regaining her composure.

"Annyeonghaseyo." Yubin and Youngbae ree of their own.

"Will this be all?" She asked as she takes the blouse from Yubin. "Neh." Yubin smiled at her. Yubin-ssi I'm a big fan of you and The Wonder Girls." She said as she scan the price tag.

"Oh, kamsahamnida." Yubin smiled and gave her a small bow. "And I really like your groups new song. I have it on repeat." The cashier said to her excitedly.

"Ah, kamsahamnida. But Big Bang Taeyang is here. What do you think about his group?" Yubin asked her. The cashier looked at Youngbae who smiled brightly at her. She then becomes shy when she saw his eye smile right in front of her. "I-I'm a a huge fan of Big Bang as well. I've been following you all since your pre-debut series." She said not being able to look at Youngbae.

"Kamsahamnida." Youngbae said giving her a small bow.

"Neh, and I have to give you credit to be able to pull off cornrows. No man in here South Korea would be brave enough to have his hair like that. Let alone look good in them." She giggled. "Ah neh, I think you are a part of select few who likes them." Youngbae said as he rub the back of his neck out of embarrassment remembering his debut hair style.

"So who in Big Bang is your favorite. Sohyun-ssi?" Yubin asked as she leaned in closer to read her nametag. The question flustered the cashier, she got quite and looked at down and played with her fingers. "You can tell us. I won't be disappointed if it isn't me." Youngbae reassured her.

She nodded and looked up at them. "T.O.P. op-oppa." She said shyly. "Ah, is it because of his charismatic eyes?" Youngbae asked her. She smiled and nodded at him. "Then how about the next time I come here I'll bring him along so you can meet him." Youngbae suggested, to which she smiled and let out little squeal. "OMO jinjja?" She asked him excitedly.

"Neh." Youngbae replied. She then takes his hand and shake it as she gives him a few small bows. "Oh kamsahamnida." Youngbae and Yubin chuckled at her excitement.

"And that will be 33,552 won." ($30 in U.S) She tells them. Youngbae nodded and take out his wallet and hands her his card. She nods and gently takes it from him and run it. "Okay, here is your card. Would like the receipt in the bag?" She asked him

"Yes please." He answered as he takes the card and put it back in his wallet. She nods and folds the blouse neatly and place it and receipt in a small white plastic bag. "Here you are, and thank you for coming in. Please come again." She handed the bag to Yubin. "Kamsahamnida." Yubin smiled as she takes the bag. "Have a nice day." Youngbae said to her.

"Oh before you two leave." She said just as they were about to turn around giving her a questioning look. "I just wanted to say you two look cute together." She smiled. This caused both Yubin and Youngbae to blush and nodded at her. They then thanked once more before leaving the store.

Once out of the store they slowly walked to nowhere in particular. The cashier's word's still on their minds. Youngbae and Yubin both took shy glances at each other. But once they made eye contact they both looked away blushing furiously. Youngbae decided to take initiative before a awkward atmosphere comes along.

"So are you hungry? Want to grab some dinner?" He asked her as he looked down at his watch. "Oh yeah, I'm starving actually." Yubin answered holding her tummy making a adorable pout. 'Cute.' Youngbae thought to himself.

"Okay, want to eat here or somewhere else?" He asks. "Hmm we can eat here. There's a nice barbeque restaurant that the girls and I went to last time we were here. We can go to that if you want?" She suggested.

"Oh, that's fine with me." He smiled at her. She nodded. " Let's go then. I
