“I don’t think this is for me-” Kyungsoo stuttered out, nervously straightening out her clothes behind the curtain.

“I’m sure it’s fine, I’ll take a look,” Baekhyun cut in.

“I think it’s too small…” Baekhyun impatiently opened the curtain to a panicked Kyungsoo. She widened her eyes before immediately throwing her hands up to cover herself despite being completely clothed. Baekhyun wrenched her hands off before taking a look and breaking out into a grin.

“Perfect!” Kyungsoo’s face flushed red as Baekhyun scrutinized her once more, nodding approvingly at the clothes.

“I think I need a bigger size… everything is too short,” Kyungsoo whispered embarrassedly. Baekhyun laughed.

“It’s supposed to be short like that,” Baekhyun replied.

“Yeah, look at me,” Suho piped up, gesturing to herself who wore a similar outfit with short shorts.

“But how come Baekhyun and Minseok get pants?” Kyungsoo half-whined. Minseok smiled at Kyungsoo’s emerging childish side before speaking.

“You know we have no control over what the stylists assign us,” Minseok soothed. Kyungsoo still shifted uncomfortably, trying to lower the shorts.

“Can we please switch??” Kyungsoo begged Minseok. Minseok laughed before shaking her head.

“You know that we’re purposely given these outfits to match the one our partner is going to wear… and you know they don’t like us switching partners that the director’s already made.” Kyungsoo huffed in annoyance, a pout still adorning her face. She knew the rules but that didn't make it any better. A knock was heard on the door before a head popped in, his eyes covered.

“Can we come back in yet?” Jongin asked. Kyungsoo was about to say no --- she wasn’t giving up yet --- but Baekhyun was faster.

“Yeah, we all finished changing.” Kyungsoo shot a glare at Baekhyun who pretended to not notice anything as Jongin quickly entered the room and plopped on the couch, the rest of the guys trailing in after him. Kyungsoo sighed before crossing her arms, lips forming a pout.

“You’re mean,” she whined childishly. Baekhyun laughed. Kyungsoo plopped down onto the couch next to Jongin and leaned against him, Jongin leaning into her as well, still focused on his phone. Although it’s a normal occurrence for the two who were close, it bothered Baekhyun a little. She brushed it off as simply being tired. But she wasn’t the only one bothered by their proximity. Across the room, another pair of eyes watched the whole exchange, a green monster bubbling under the surface.

“Okay, I want Baekhyun and Chanyeol, Kyungsoo and Kai, Sehun and Lay with Suho, and Minseok with Jongdae. Can you all stand next to your respective partner?” the director asked. They all hastened to get to their respective partner’s side and once they lined up neatly next to each other, the director looked at them, a pensive expression painted on his face. “How about we switch Baekhyun and Kyungsoo?” They moved at the director’s words. He looked at them again before nodding in approval. “Chanyeol’s long coat matches better with Kyungsoo’s shorter outfit and Kai and Baekhyun have shiny jackets so they’ll fit together. Perfect!” the director announced, almost talking to himself. “How about we start with the photoshoot first and then move onto the video?” he asked. They all agreed as he ushered them to where they would be shooting before speaking. “First, let’s take the group photo. I want Sehun and Suho to the left, Chanyeol and Kyungsoo and Lay in the center and then Kai and Baekhyun to the side. In front, let’s have Minseok and Chen, alright?” Kyungsoo awkwardly stood in the center on top of the gray platform, Chanyeol and Lay to her sides as the director was positioning her members, slightly fidgeting with her pants, still not completely comfortable with the length. Yixing seemed to notice her discomfort as he whispered: “You look pretty, don’t worry about the shorts.” Kyungsoo nodded gratefully at Yixing before straightening herself up. Yixing was right; they
