#en oclock

Walking into the trendy shop, you were immediately overwhelmed with racks upon racks of vintage clothing. Your friends, Sunoo and Jay, gasped and immediately went to look through the racks for anything that might catch their eye. Your best friend, however, stayed back and turned to wink at you.

Your relationship with Heeseung has been growing increasingly more complicated as time has gone on. You met in elementary school when Heeseung accidentally knocked you over while playing soccer during recess. He immediately helped you up while apologizing profusely and walked you over to the school nurse to make sure everything was okay even though you insisted that you were fine. Ever since then, he was always watching over you and was there for all the major events growing up. You know everything about each other.

In the last few weeks, you’ve noticed Heeseung acting strange. You are no stranger to Heeseung’s flirty ways, but recently it’s like it’s been turned up to one hundred. He was always finding excuses to put his arms around you or making sure that you were by his side. While you would be lying if you said you had never looked at Heeseung as anything other than your best friend, you were scared of what would happen to your friendship of you took the chance to take things further and it didn’t work out.

“Hey, are you guys going to look around or are you just going to stand there looking at each other like idiots?”  Jay snickered as Sunoo giggled from a rack behind him.

Heeseung winked at you and walked over to join Jay at the vintage jacket rack. You blushed, but your thoughts were interrupted by Sunoo. “Hey Y/n, what do you think about these?” Sunoo asked, holding out a pair of overalls with a green detail on the front pocket. You move over and start helping Sunoo find the right accessories to go with his outfits.

A few hours had passed, and you thought you were successful in forgetting your situation with Heeseung. With all the racks you had to go through, your focus quickly switched from freaking out about your best friend to finding the cutest items of clothing to add to your closet. The four of you searched through the entire store for hidden gems and outfit staples, leaving no rack unturned. 

Now was the moment of truth. The four of you headed over to the fitting rooms to try on your outfits. Sunoo came out first wearing the first pair of overalls he found, a gray turtleneck, and vintage leather boots. Jay was next sporting a leather jacket and blue jeans. You came third wearing a dark green dress and old nikes. Heeseung was last. He found a jean jacket with a fuzzy collar, some brown trousers, and a white tshirt. The outfit was fairly simple, but something about it made you feel butterflies in your stomach. 

“*Wow, hyung. You look good!” Jay whistled.

“Total boyfriend vibes,” Sunoo agreed.

“What do you think, y/n?” Three pairs of eyes looked straight at you, waiting for your response. 

You gulped and took another look at Heeseung’s outfit. It just looked so good. You can imagine him wearing it on a date to the movies or to a farmers market or a nice restaurant...

“Y/n?” You realized you had probably been staring for quite a while.

“Oh, sorry i just zoned out haha... but yeah Hee, you look good. Boyfriend vibes for sure.” Heeseung smiled and chuckled a little.

Jay and Sunoo started laughing while heading back to the fitting rooms to change back into the clothes they walked in with. You were about to do the same, but as you started walking away, Heeseung reached out and put his arm on your shoulder to stop you. “Y/n, can I talk to you for a sec?” You nodded and stood in front of him. “I don’t know how to really say this. I’ve tried to leave hints, but it hasn’t really seemed like you got them. I think I’m starting to like you as more than a friend. I don’t want to ruin our friendship, so if you don’t feel the same we can just forget this ever happened.” 

Hearing Heeseung actually admit to what you had been suspecting for a while felt like a weight off your shoulders. Suddenly, you had no doubts.  “I feel the same way Hee. Let’s go out to dinner tomorrow night?” 

“Yeah, that sounds good.” Heeseung smiled. You leaned over, gave Heeseung a kiss to the cheek, and walked back to the fitting room to change, leaving Heeseung a flustered mess behind you. Heeseung broke from his trance when he heard giggling. he looked up and saw Jay and Sunoo standing outside of their fitting rooms. They overheard the whole thing.

“Looks like you’re an actual boyfriend now, hyung,” Jay teased, watching Heeseung blush.
