Different colors, silks, perfumes, and fabrics were thrown across Azira's room that afternoon. Her once clean closet looked like a tornado ran through it as outfits she didn't even know she had were suddenly there and didn't look like she was making a choice anytime soon.

Azira laid on the clothes in defeat pouting when Somi threw a gummy bear at her, "Stop that."

"I told you to wear that green cut-out dress with the green tied-up chunky heels." Tyra says, and Somi hums in agreement, "You'll amazing in it plus you have a banging body."

Azira sighed, "But wouldn't that be too extra?" She didn't want to show up being the extra one on the date.

"Exactly, that's the point." Tyra shrugs still in her closet, "Did he even tell you where you're going?" The second she got that text she didn't waste any time calling Somi and Tyra since she knew they were the pros when it came to this kind of stuff. Plus all she wanted Yuta to do was like her for her and without all the extra stuff. "Nope."

"Well, when's he coming?" Somi asked finally getting up to help find an outfit. Azira was staring aimlessly at the ceiling, "No clue, he said it was a surprise."

"He must like you if he didn't tell you shit and you must like him if you're stressing this much over an outfit," Somi says pushing the hangers to the side looking for a dress. "Wait it's that obvious we like each other?" Azira asks before grabbing some gummy bears from the bag.

"Duh." Both Somi and Tyra answer at the same time holding up a brown mini-dress while Tyra held brown heels. "We've been seeing the way you two look at each other, so we just put two and two together."

"And Jaehyun finds you and Yuta cute."

"Oh really..." She said.

"Yes! Now put this on." Somi handed her a dress. Azira smiled at her friend before walking into the bathroom. She didn't think too much about it since she knew they'd have added accessories.

Azira walked back into her room and saw Somi and Tyra waiting, "You look amazing." Somi complimented. Tyra walked up to Azira and placed a minimalistic gold necklace around her neck, "Now you look even hotter."

"Thank you." Azira smiled letting Somi and Tyra work their magic. In about an hour, she looked amazing. Her phone buzzed and she quickly grabbed it reading Yuta's message, "Ya'll we might want to hurry things up."

They followed quickly and started doing Azira's soft glow look. It consisted of a soft brown eye look with a subliminal golden shimmer and a sharp wing which accentuated her eyes with a classic brown lip liner and gloss combo.

After taking a few pictures Somi pushed Azira out of the bathroom upon hearing a knock on the front door, "Go! Your man is here and we'll clean up." Azira nodded practicing to walk in the heels before exiting her bedroom.

This is a date, I'm actually on a date Azira was mentally screaming at this point. Especially when the knock on her door sent waves of emotions throughout her.

Yuta felt the same way and stood at the doorway longer than he planned since he didn't dare to knock properly at first. He found himself staring in awe when the door opened, Azira stood there with a shy glance which might've been the first since he'd known her. Yuta cleared his throat, "Hi." He said everything he'd been practicing during the car ride slipped his mind once his eyes landed on her.

"Hi," Azira says back unable to contain her smile. "These are for you," Yuta said holding out flowers, feeling his face grow warm from the cheesy yet classic gesture.

The cheesy gesture must've been a great choice he made because Azira began gushing, taking the flowers, and walking inside her apartment, "Awe! My favorites! I love them so much." She said putting them in an empty vase and from the corner of her eye she could see Tyra and Somi quietly jump up and down seeing what their friend got. Azira mouthed could you guys stop them mentally thankful that Yuta couldn't see them.

Azira quickly put water in the vase and then walked back over to the front door, grabbing her purse and coat in the process. They walked down the quiet apartment lobby, "You look stunning tonight." He whispers once they enter the car.

Azira felt her face grow warm, "Thank you." She couldn't stop smiling, she hadn't smiled that hard in a long time.

She was curious as to where they were going considering that she was still going on a date with a very famous person and getting noticed was easy and it wasn't the first time a photo of them had gotten posted on social media. "I hope you don't mind me already ordering." He said once they were both in the car.

"It's okay I'm sure whatever you chose is amazing," Azira answered honestly. She trusted him whenever it came to choosing what to eat since they've eaten together many times and he should know what she likes and doesn't like by now.

"So..when were you going to tell me that the Azira girl you're with is mighty fine." A voice suddenly spoke as head peeked from the driver's seat startling Azira.

Eyes wide, Azira stared at him as he stared back with a small grin, "Names Jaemin and I will be your personal driver." He winked causing Yuta to roll his eyes, "And did I mention that you are gorgeous."

Yuta shook his head, "Jaemin shut up and just drive us to the restaurant."

"Yeah, yeah whatever." Jaemin brushes him off bringing his eyes back onto the road, "But can I come?"

"No."

"Please."

"No, now keep your eyes on the road or else," Yuta warns as Azira tries not to laugh. She leaned closer to him "Are all your friends like this?"

Yuta chuckled, "Not all of them are dumbasses like this guy." Jaemin scoffed. "I heard that."

"That's the point."

The car ride went smoothly, Jaemin kept them entertained with his horrible jokes—well jokes Azira found to be funny.

"We're here," Jaemin says stopping in front of a restaurant. Azira looked out the window feeling very excited.

Yuta stepped out of the car rushing over to the other passenger door and opening it. He held out his hand as Azira held onto it stepping out of the car "Thank you."

They were about to enter the restaurant when Jaemin cleared his throat, "Ahem." He gave Yuta a knowing look. Yuta sighed reaching into his pocket and handing him a $100 bill, "Don't do anything stupid with it."

Jaemin gasps placing a hand on his suit, "I'm a perfectly responsible adult. Anyways I'll see you later Azira and if you get bored just hit me up." He winks before driving away.

"I like him." Azira laughs, "He's funny."

It was very silly how it took little to no time for Yuta to become utterly enamored with Azira.

Yuta, the guy who was the happy pill of the group could confidently ask someone out and was smitten and head over heels in love with the woman in front of him. Yes, he was in love with her and he wasn't afraid of it anymore. All he could do was smile and stare in awe at Azira, who was just so happening to order another shrimp fettuccine alfredo and beef ragu claiming it was utterly amazing.

"Also a side of bread sticks please." She told the waitress. The restaurant Yuta brought her to was utterly beautiful inside and Azira fought to urge to take endless photos of the interior.

The waitress nodded jotting down what they wanted before walking away.

"Tell me one of the weirdest things you've done as a teen."

"Would you look at that the fork looks so pretty tonight," Azira smirked seeing the frown Yuta gave her. "Alright, I'll tell you but you must promise me you won't laugh." Yuta nods. "Cross my heart and hope to die I won't laugh."

Azira breathed out as she had to dig deep into one of her many embarrassing teenage moments, "Okay so I was inspired by one of Lady Gaga's looks and sprayed a shit ton of hairspray in my hair which lead it sticking upwards and it stayed that way for two days."

Yuta put a hand over his mouth as Azira threw him a glare, "You said you wouldn't laugh."

"I'm not laughing." Yuta assures wiping the tears that threatened to fall, "Totally not laughing." He says as the waitress walks towards them.

The waitress sets a basket of freshly made breadsticks down smiling brightly, "Your food will be out soon, is there anything else you guys need?"

"No, we're all fine, thank you." Azira smiled.

The waitress left and Azira looked at Yuta, "And before you ask how I'm going to finish all that before dessert I got a big appetite plus girls gotta eat." She answers with a shrug.
