"I cannot believe I agreed to this." Jessie laughed as Jason pulled up in front of a designer store.
"What you want to go back home? I don't mind." He shook his head.
"So what I'm going to do about clothes then?" She frowned.
"You look good enough to me" he eyed his polo shirt and shorts on her.
"Ugh... I look like a preppy, pubescent teenage boy." She said with disgust on her face.
Jason laughed, "don't insult my wardrobe. How is it my fault that the only things that fit you are my old clothes?"
"What did you do with these? Play golf?" She scoffed.
"Actually yeah, that's exactly what I did." He said.
She rolled her eyes and pushed the door open, getting out. She put on her face mask and pushed her hair up into the cap.
Jason followed suit and they both walked into the store. Jessie unconsciously grimaced, fisting her hands by her side, she closed her eyes she reminisced about her life. How far had she really fallen, she was always in one designer store or another when she was in between projects. Now? She felt awkward and out of place.
Jason noticed her reaction and grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Don't just stand at the entrance, people need to go out." He said, masking his true intentions.
"Oh..." was all she said in response.
"Wait here." He ordered her, leaving her by a corner.
"Why? Where are you going?"
"Don't ask questions, just trust me" he said walking away.
After a little while he came back and grabbed her arm again, walking over to a display of dresses, on mannequins.
"Wait are you meant to that? You can't undress the mannequin, where is the attendant?" She whisper yelled.

He looked at her with a smug grin, pulling off her cap and nose mask. "Ah!" She screamed covering her face. "What are you doing?!"
"Relax will you? I sent everyone out." He stated.
"Huh? Including the attendants?" She asked and he nodded.
"Don't ask questions Jessie. Relax and enjoy yourself, you have the entire store to yourself." He said.
She eyed him skeptically, "you didn't even consider the fact that we need attendants to help with our purchases?"
He gave her a pointed stare, "I'm absolute that you know your way around stores like this. But if I'm wrong I can just go bring everyone back in." He stated bluntly turning to walk away. She grabbed his arm before he made any progress.
"Wait... oh stop grinning like you have me all figured out. And you can't take the dresses from the mannequin, I'm a different size. Sit down, I'll get the clothes I want okay?"
He smiled and nodded "only on one condition."
"What? If it's a budget I refuse" she blurted.
He laughed softly "it's not a budget, feel free to go crazy. You have to try out all the clothes and show me." He said.
"Try out the... who said I needed your opinion?" She blinked at him.
Jason gave her pointed look and she sighed. "Fine, all right whatever." She said, walking away.
Jason sat down and smiled at the way she went round the shop with purpose and intent. Scanning, skimming and picking out only the best. Every moment, every day he felt drawn to this woman. She was spoiled no doubt but he loved that about her, the way she was confident and shameless when it came to telling people she couldn't survive with money. He was happy when she didn't ask how much it must have cost to get the store empty or how she didn't bother looking at pricetags. She was just like him, and he loved it. It was so cute to watch her try to bargain with him over the credit card, she was even prideful when she begged.

His phone rang in his pocket and he took it out, Paul. "Jason Kang" he answered.
"Hey, uh... where are you right now?"
"In a store, a designer store." He answered. " Why?"
"We have to talk, and why are you in a designer store? You have your clothes tailored."
"It's not for me, obviously. I brought Jessie to shop."
"Huh... I thought you wanted to surprise her with her own clothes." Paul replied.
"I thought about it but it might not be a good idea, it would just remind her of her past." Jason said.
"Which store are you?" Paul asked.
"I'm not sure didn't notice the name as we walked in. Can't it wait till I'm home?"
"No Jason, it's pretty important."
"Huh. Should I be worried?" Jason asked.
"Just tell me the name of the store" Paul said.
"Wait a minute, I'll text you the address. See you." Jason said, cutting the call.
He looked to his side and picked up a coaster. Viennex, turning it upside down, he saw the address. Perfect, he quickly texted it to Paul.
"Hey," Jessie called his attention.
He looked up and she was standing in front of him in a short pencil black dress. It was high neck with ruffles around the bottom.
"I like it." He nodded, admiring her long legs.
"Of course you like it, I picked it and I'm wearing it. I'm I going to do this with all the clothes?" She asked.
"Why? What's wrong with doing this with all of them?" He asked.
"Are you really willing to spend your entire sunday in a store with me?" She asked, placing her hands on her hip.
"Why will I spend the entire da- are the clothes really that much?" He asked.
"Yes... and you shouldn't be surprised, besides I only bought clothes that I would wear at home. When I go out I'll basically be in all black, it wouldn't matter." She shrugged.
Jason titled his head at her statement, first of all she referred to his penthouse as 'home'. Why did it make him so giddy? Why was he so pleased with the idea of her living with him?
"Hey! What are you thinking?" She asked.
"Who said you would be going out?" He asked.
Her jaw dropped. "Jason you can't possibly be serious." She gasped.
"And if I am?"
"Hey!" She screamed at him.
"Sir?" A voice called from the entrance of the store and Jessie ran away to hide.
"This isn't over" She mouthed before she fled.
Jason frowned and turned to look at the woman, "what?"
"There's a man and woman outside saying they need to see you." She said.
'That must be Paul and Katherine' he thought.
"Their names?"
"Mr. Song and miss Park." She replied.
"Ah... let them in."
