As the SM party was scheduled to be on Friday, I decided to head to the mall to look for some dresses and accessories since it was already Thursday. I headed downstairs as usual to prepare breakfast for the boys and some rushed to eat before heading out for their schedules. There were only a few people left in the house which included Me, Henry, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook and Yesung.

____:"Don't you guys have schedules today?"
Siwon:"Yeah we do, but at later timings."
____:"Ah.. I see."

I headed upstairs to change and wanted to go to the mall myself. I changed into my casual wear:

Henry:"Princess, where are you going?"
____:"I'm going to the mall to get my dress for tomorrow's party, wanna come along?"
Henry:"Sure! I'll get my disguises."
____:"Wait, don't you have schedules?"
Henry:"Not till 7pm."
I glanced at the clock and it read 12pm and I nodded while he went upstairs to change.

While waiting for Henry, Donghae was about to leave the house when he noticed me sitting at the sofa.
Donghae:"____-ah, you are going out?"
_____:"Yup, Henry and I are going shopping for clothes."
Donghae:"I wanna go too!"
____:"Don't you have schedules?"
Donghae:"Oh right... but I will end my schedule around 6!"
____:"Oppa We might have shopped finished by then."
Donghae:*pouts* "But I wanna go out with you!"
____:"Oppa, why not you call me after your schedule and we meet up somewhere?"
Donghae:*smiles* "Really? Okay I will call you after my schedule!" *hugs ___* "Annyeong ___-ah!"
_____:*hugs back* "Annyeong oppa!"

Just then, Henry came down and we left the house after saying our goodbyes to the other boys.

Henry drove us to Dongdaemun, which lied a huge shopping mall. I was excited to be shopping after such a long time as I had mostly been spending time at the dorms or around the neighbourhood, but never shopping because the boys thought it was unsafe for me to roam around without knowing the place well.

As we entered the mall, there were many people and it was good as Henry didn't have to worry about being recognized. I pulled him to several shops and he was made to carry my shopping bags xD

____:"Mochi, is this dress or that dress nicer?"
Henry:"Huh?"
_____:"Are you even listening, I asked for your opinion."
Henry:"Oh, Sorry. Why not you go try it on?"
____:"Okay, wait here!"
I went in to try and did a "mini fashion show" by trying on all the dresses and showing it to Henry. I tried about 5 pieces and on the 6th piece he finally nodded his head.
Henry:"This is it!"
____:"This? It suits me?"
Henry:"Yes, you look perfect in it!"
____:"Really? Okay then!"

I headed to the counter to pay for the dress before going out for lunch. We settled at a nearby pancake shop and ordered our food.
Henry:"Phew, that was tiring!"
____:"Mochi, I only bought my dress! I'm still left with my purse, shoes, accessories etc..."
Henry:"Tell me why did I follow you out today..."
____:"Because I'm your favourite princess and you are my mochi!"
Henry:"right..."

We were eating halfway when Henry suddenly asked me "So, you like one of the hyungs, right?"
I literally choked on my food and gulped down mouthfuls of water
"Hey, chill! it was just a casual question. I assume I'm right?" Henry said smugly
"No..." I said cautiously
"Come on Princess, don't think you can hide it from me! I know you too well." He said
"Uhm... well... there's one..." I said hesitantly
"And you didn't tell me? SPILL!" Henry urged
"Mochi why are you acting like a girl!" I teased and laughed at him
"Just tell me!" Henry said impatiently
"Okay, but promise not to tell them!" I warned him
"Promise." He said while hooking my pinky finger
"It's... Hyukjae oppa..." I said shyly
"Eunhyuk hyung?!" He asked
"Actually I'm not sure yet, but I like being around him and when he's sad I wanna cheer him up. Uhm, that's all." I said
"And I know nothing about it." Henry said
"Now you know!" I said
"But let me warn you, hyung had a bad heartbreak in the past, I'm not sure if he's ready to open up his heart again." He warned
"I know. Mochi, you are saying like I'm really in love with him or something! I just said I like being around him." I said
"Time will tell everything. I thought it'd be Donghae hyung." He said
"Donghae oppa? Why?" I asked
"Are you oblivious to your surroundings?" He said
"What?" I said
"Well, like I said, time will tell everything." He said
"Anyway I'm meeting up with Donghae oppa later, he wants to meet me for dinner." I said
"Oh, great. I don't want you shopping alone because I'm leaving for my schedule in a couple of hours." He said
I didn't even realized we were eating such a late lunch and it was already 3pm.
"Come on mochi, let's continue shopping!" I said while pulling him up and out of the restaurant after we paid.

I dragged him to several stores and I finally bought everything after me pondering over the numerous choices.

"Done!" I said
"Finally!" He said happily
"Mochi you shouldn't be so weak!" I teased
"I'm not weak, I have been walking around with you since 1pm! and now it's already 5pm!" Henry whined
"Omo, it's already 5pm!" I said
"Oh, right! I have a schedule to go to!" He said
"Right. Okay, see you at the dorm then!" I said
"You'll be fine alone?" He asked
"Yes, mochi. Donghae oppa's coming, remember?" I said
"Oh right. I'll go now! *hugs ___* Bye princess!" He waved while walking away
"Bye mochi!" I said after hugging him

I decided to go outside to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. I walked around the streets and took pictures of random things. Roadside stalls, Cute items, Food, almost everything. Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrate and I hurriedly pick it up.

"Yoboseyo?" I asked
"____-ah, where are you?" Donghae said
"Oppa you finished your schedule? I'm at Dongdaemun." I said
"Great, I'm near there. I'll pick you up in 5 minutes." He replied
"Okay, I'll be waiting." I said before hanging up.

I waited at the entrance of Dongdaemun for a couple of minutes before a white Audi pulled up in front of me.
Donghae got down the car and opened the door for me and went back to his seat.

"Oppa, you really came!" I said
"Of course I did. Sorry I'm late." He said
"Don't worry! I'm already glad you came to find me after your schedule." I said
"What do you feel like eating?" He asked
"Jajangmyun?" I asked
"Jajangmyun it is!" He said

We reached the place within minutes as we settled at a nearby roadside stall. We talked about our day while eating jajangmyun.
"How about we go and walk around after dinner?" He asked
"I'm fine, but what if you get recognized?" I said
"I won't. I tried it many times before. I got my disguises." He said
"Hmm... okay then!" I said happily

We left the stall and walked along the streets happily. It was getting chilly because it was nightime and I felt cold thus trembling a little. i suddenly felt a scarf wrapped around me and instantly felt warmer as I was pulled into someone's body.
"Oppa?" I said and looked up at Donghae
"You'll feel better like that." He said, still hugging me close.
"Thank you oppa." I said while snuggling into his body.

"Omo we are so near! How I wish she's mine..." Donghae thought to himself

We walked along the streets and I noticed a beanie which looked perfect for Donghae. I stopped at the stall and asked to buy the beanie immediately while he didn't notice because he was looking at other stuffs.
I started taking pictures again and took many candid shots of ourselves. I was glad nobody recognized Donghae because there were many people walking on the streets.
As the weather turned colder, we decided to go back to the car and head back to the dorm. In the car, I decided to take out the beanie I bought for Donghae.

"Oppa, close your eyes." I said
"Why?" He asked
"Just close your eyes." I urged
*closes eyes* "Okay." Donghae said
*puts beanie on Donghae's head* "Okay, done!" I said

Donghae opened his eyes and looked into the mirror while admiring the beanie.
Donghae:"___-ah! when did you buy this? Is this for me?"
____:"Nope, it's for mochi!"
Donghae: *sad face* "Oh, okay."
____:"Just kidding! Oppa, I bought it for you!"
Donghae seemed really happy about the gift and admired it like a small child got his first lollipop.
"Thank you ___-ah. I will use it all the time." He said and pulled me into a hug
"No problem oppa!" I said while hugging him back.

We were very chirpy in the car and Donghae kept thinking of why didn't he see me buying the beanie despite me repeating that I bought it when he was looking at other things.

We arrived at the dorm and the members were scattered all over the house.
"Annyeong oppas!" I said
"Annyeong" They said
I sat down on the sofa beside Heechul while he asked me, "___-ah, where did you go today? I didn't see you the whole day!"
"That's because you were rushing for schedules. I went out to buy clothes for tomorrow's party." I explained
"Talking about tomorrow's party..." He said
"GUYS! I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY! GATHER!" Heechul screamed
Everybody assembled, listening to what Heechul had to say.

"Manager hyung asked me to tell you guys there won't be schedules tomorrow because it's SM party!" Heechul said
Cheers filled the entire house and Heechul sat back down on the sofa saying "Okay, meeting over."
"Hyung, you called us here just to tell us this?" Sungmin asked
"Yeah." Heechul said cooly
"I was in the midst of playing starcraft!!!!" Kyuhyun said while running back to his room while we all chuckled and headed back to our rooms.
