"Nooo don't make me wear that."

I lay my eyes on a very beautiful emerald green dress with white dots on it, short with long off-shoulder sleeves and a way too deep V cut neck. It's gorgeous but way too out of my comfort zone.

But Vicky insists me on wearing it for the festival this evening.

"Oh, shush. You are wearing this tonight. End of discussion." she said with an authorizing tone, like a mother nagging her daughter.

She looked straight at me with a frown on her face. I knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade this girl. She brought it for me after all.

"But...it shows way too much cleavage...and it's quite short as well." I scanned the dress and took a closer look. "Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and I really appreciate that you bought it for me but-"

"And I bought it for you to wear this specific day. So go dress up and get ready for the night. Everyone will be there after all. We should be dolled up. Don't tell me you were planning on wearing a hoodie again..?", she cut me off and raised a questioning eyebrow at me.

I give her a sheepish smile, as if I was caught red handed. "Well...that wouldn't be a bad idea, if you would ask me."

"For God's sake Rosalynn, you can't be serious. It's a freaking festival, our old friends will be there along with the whole town. You can't just be eating the muffins every year. Do something else just for this once, get out of your comfort zone. Doll up."

She looks at me with pleading eyes and I give her a poker face, not wanting to resist her.

Just then her face lits up with an idea. She opens her mouth and says "Besides, these little cute energetic boys will be there as well, ahem-Felix-ahem-that-is-ahem.", she fake coughed and gave me a smirk.

My eyes widened when I realised how she stated her words.

"Shut up. Drop it already." I whined and hid my face from embarrassment. "You have already made a fool out of me infront of them." I gave her a glare through the gap between my fingers but then sighed heavily. "But fine, I'll wear the dress just for this once. Just because you want to."

She smiled widley and hugged me very tightly-

Gosh I can't breathe-

"Only because I want to huh? Mhm whatever ya say gurl. I can see through your lies."

She said as she broke the hug and smirked at me again.

"Bish I ain't lying.", I scoffed and rolled my eyes at her.

But she didn't believe me.

I wouldn't believe my own self either...

ahEm.

We were currently inside my room getting ready for the festival. I don't even know how quick the weekdays passed by. The boys came to like Vicky although sometimes the run away from her hiding behind my back.

It's a love-hate relationship with them.

They say that she's not like me and they don't really like her as much as they like me.

I laugh every time I see them bicker around for who they believe I love the most. My best friend or them.

To be honest I never get involved in their fights. I just sit there and laugh my ass out.

I love all of them so much, I don't want to pick sides because I'm afraid of hurting someone.

I look up in the mirror and check myself. Putting some light make-up on, curling my brunette locks lightly and wearing some accessories. I finally made my way to my bed, where the dress was laying all along.

Sigh.

It's now or never.

I mentally slap myself and pick up the beautiful dress. After a little help from Vicky, I managed to put in on.

"Who's that hottie over here? Rosalynn was it?", my best friend teased me with a grin on her lips.

"You look amazing! I'm glad you actually wore it!"

She came up to me and hugged me once again "Felix will love this.", she whispered to my ear and snickered.

I turn my head to look at her with big eyes and slap her on her arm playfully "Shut up.", I mumbled embarrassed.

I look inside the mirror and see myself.

Actually I don't look half bad.

I'm impressed I can actually pull this off.

We spent two and half hours getting ready but now we are finally done.

I look at the clock and it was eight pm. We should have been there already but being a little late won't harm anyone, right?

Right.

We step out my room and walk through the corridors. The lights to the living room were on and voices were coming from the inside.

Our heels were echoed through the empty corridor as we walk in the living room. There, all eight boys were sitting casually on the couch chit chatting with each other.

Sweet baby Jesus.

What did I do to deserve such blessing?

Every single one of them look hella handsome and I start to feel self conscious for my own existence.

How the heck can they be so handsome?

Please someone explain.

Is there a scientific report that explains that?

Huh?

When they sensed our presence all eight heads turned to look at us. Eight pairs of eyes were glued on me and made me shy and feel small in the eyes of eight gorgeous men.

They widened their eyes when they processed my outfit.

Is it too much?

I knew I shouldn't have wore this.

"And here we thought that aliens took you away because you guys took ages to get ready. You look amazing Rosa!", Hyunjin spoke first while brushing his long hair with his hand.

Oh please don't do this.

It's hwat.

"Woow I didn't know you can wear something else other than our hoodies. But damn.", Felix said while still checking me out with a grin on his face.

I suddenly feel hot, is the temperature increasing or is it just me blushing like crazy?

....

Don't answer.

"It's not like I wear only your hoodies. I have mine too...", I replied.

Who am I kidding.

Their hoodies are ten times better than mine, of course I would wear theirs.

They all laughed at my words and Vicky came closer to me, wrapping an arm on my shoulder.

"Thank me for making her wear that dress. Otherwise she would be wearing your hoodie again.", she rolled her eyes and pinched me cheek.

Ow that hurt.

"Well thank you Vick for blessing us with this beautiful girl over here.", Felix added and the others nodded in agreement.

I-

He called me beautiful.

Ok bye

Imma die in peace now.

"Oh before I forget. I want you guys to make sure she has fun tonight. Normally she just hides in a corner eating the free food.", she glared at me.

"Sounds like Rosa.", Chan chuckled.

"Oh shut up. What else would I be doing then? Dancing on my own and talking to the grandmas?", I fired back at my best friend but she just shrugged.

"Dunno. But this year you won't be doing any of that. The boys will keep you company and make sure you have a great time. Am I right guys?", she turned her gaze to the boys.

"Roger that ma'am!", all eight of them saluted.

"I'll make sure to be the one eating the food- I mean make her have fun.", Jisung chuckled.

I bet this chipmunk will stuff his cheeks untill they blow up.

"And you will dance with us this time, not on your own.", Jeongin smiled cheekily.

My heart boom boom

"Great then! Shall we head out now? We are already late. The festival has started half an hour ago.", Vicky exclaimed happily while clapping her hands satisfied with the boy's replies.

"Yeah we should. Let's go.", I gestured them to follow me and walk out of the door.

"Alright!", all of them said in unison and came running to me with big smiles.

This is going to be a heck of a night.
