[2:34pm] Crossing the street you reached the suit shop to buy your father a tie to wear to your best friend's wedding although he had plenty of ties yet none of them matched with the theme of the wedding or were downright too corporal as you were just a few steps away from the shop you saw a familiar face about to enter the shop he was on the phone looking up the sign to see if he is in the right shop after muttering something he hung up the phone when his eyes met yours waiting for him to take notice of you recognition dawned upon him a large grin forming in his face the feeling you get when you coincidently meet an old friend in the middle of a busy street of a Tuesday afternoon. As Both have grown up together being his little sister's friend you were alternatively always there in his home joined by the hip with his sister.
"Y/N what a pleasant surprise! Long time no see," He said.
"Joshua" you exhaled it's been so long since you last called out his name the syllables gave you a strong rush of nostalgia as they rolled off your tongue you went forward to give him a side hug which he reciprocated
"what brings you here? " you asked.
"Well for now I am here for the fitting of my suit you know for the wedding"
You nodded "what brings you here?" He countered as he opened the door and motioned you to walk first as you both walked towards the reception you informed "well I am here to buy a tie, you know for the wedding" giving a small chuckle at your response he said something to the receptionist as they pressed a small button and two employees approached the two of you.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hong your suit is in the fitting room please follow me." Requested one of the employees
And the other walked towards you and asked, "how can I assist you, mam?"
You smiled in their direction and muttered,
"I am here to see some ties," as you started walking further inside the shop "do you any that matches with pastel theme and-"
"Y/N!"
The call of your name interrupted you.
turning to the source of the voice Joshua strode towards you and suggested, " if you don't mind then I could use your opinion on the suit" a hesitation in his eyes and a small smile on his lips "so that Lily doesn't kick me out of the wedding, and I have a spectacular taste ties and we have so much catching up to do ."
You shake your head you let out a small chuckle and said "you aren't even wearing one right now" as you turned to your heels and walked further inside the shop with Joshua on your side.
Skimming through the options Cynthia brought, you short-listed the baby blue and spring color ties as Joshua was behind the curtain with the tailor when he called for you "Y/N, can you come in here for a second" making you furrow your eyebrows "are you sure?" You murmured hesitantly you pulled away from the curtain and saw Joshua standing on a small stage big enough for two people to stand comfortably while the tailor was moving around him checking if there is any room for alteration. You could help but check him out, when did he get so buffed? and looked so princely? He sure has been a good sight and your little short-time crush but man time and puberty really hit him well. When he saw you gawking at him from the mirror he teased,
"like what you see"
the smug smile on his face and raising one of his brows. Rolling your eyes you stood behind him on the floor both of you looking at each other from the reflection on the mirror. The tailor descended from the little stage and mumbled something about bringing the new cufflings and excused himself out of the room.
"This looks nice," pausing doing full eyes up and down "I like it, it suits you!" you chirped.
"Well..." he mumbled, his fingers grazing the collar to adjusting the cufflinks "the suit is amazing no doubt I am kinda torn between the bow or tie"
The light sand color three pieces were really doing justice to him.
"Well.. the groom's side is wearing a bow and the bride's side is wearing a tie." You informed taking him out of his misery he tilted his head and nodded and muttered.
"Tie it is!"
"Tie it is" you repeated lowly mostly to yourself.
"Just a sec." You exclaimed,
and exited the room and went back in taking one of the two ties you chose for your father from Cynthia's hand and giving her a small smile and went back inside the fitting room as Joshua's eyes landed at the tie In your hand and turned his body to you offering you a hand to climb up the little stage which you did removing your hand from his you handed him the tie
"blue?"
He asked a little confused
"baby blue actually" you corrected him
waiting for him to wear it he just put both sides over his neck and started playing with the hem with a sigh your hands automatically went for his collar pulling it up and lining the tie and putting the collar down Joshua could help but looked down at you your fingers accidentally gazing his neck making was all of the sudden making him feel a little warm like a blush would be evident in his ears if he doesn't stop his train of thoughts before it leaves further away from the station clearing his throat and mumbled due to the close proximity, "so what have you been up to" the smell of your hair was as if slowly wrapping around his brain while you were unaware of the effect you had on him, hands still working on the tie eyes grazed up to meet his eyes and said "well nothing extraordinary in particular working, living every day as it comes with my cat who I suppose hates me" making him chuckle as you added, "what about your boyfriend he doesn't live with you?" An amused smile played on your lips shaking your head you stated, "I don't have a boyfriend." You were done with the knot and was about to pull the tie-up
"then who are you buying the tie for?"
He asked curiously looking down at you slightly biting your lower lip and said,
"My father Joshua."
Nodding his head in understanding you took a step back admiring the work you turned towards the mirror and asked
"So, do you like it Mr hong or should I present you with some other options?"
"No Ms. Y/N this is perfect"
You were still looking at the tie when you felt someone was staring at you looking up you saw Joshua caught his gaze from the reflection.
Your eyes were locked on each other when the curtain pull again breaking the trance you both were locked in as Cynthia walked a little panic surged through you as your heart felt like it would jump out of your chest you climbed down the stage and followed her to the cash register with Joshua also following behind after changing into his clothes the one he was wearing when he first walked in.
There was something unspoken, suppressed in the air. Your cheeks still feel warm after collecting the receipt Cynthia handed you the bag ,"Thank you for shopping with us" giving a nod of acknowledgment at her direction you started walking towards the exit when with quick strides Joshua joined you with his driver holding his suit he motioned him to go first.
The entrance bell jingled and a strong warm wind gushed inside the shop
"Y/N" he began, "do you have any date for the wedding"
***************************
(A/N: So Y/N do u have any date for your bestfriend's wedding? {Comment down below what do u think her answer was})
After not posting for a long while, this feels a little too soon to be making another entry. However, I had a dream last night that I really didn't want to forget so I have to write it down. After reading what the dream is, your probably going to wonder why I wanted to remember it so badly. Frankly, I have no idea myself. I just feel strongly that I need to remember this one. I woke up an hour ago, and as I usually do, I sat with my mom for a bit on the couch, like a half hour. Through that time I just kept running through it in my head, over and over, just so I wouldn't forget.
Anyways, I can't remember where the dream started, but my first memory if it is in the foyer of a very large house with a double staircase curling down the two sides of the foyer. This house was old and there were lots of paintings lining the walls. Anyway, I wasn't alone. At first it was just a couple of friends with me wandering through the house going deeper and deeper. Soon we came to the end of the basement. Then, all of a sudden, this monster jumped out at us. It was covered in slime. I noticed one last door so we ran through there. It led down hallway after hallway filled with random traps; like ones you'd see in like Scooby Doo or something. Anyway we got to a point where there was no more hallways. It was just darkness and the only thing to walk on we're these metal platforms that seemed to just float because there wasn't anything holding them up. They could be best described as those platforms that window washers used, but without the rope or wire to hold them up. Below them was just more darkness. So we all just used our phone lights as best as we could to jump from platform to platform. And for some reason our numbers increased drastically to around one hundred of us. I was kinda slow going from platform to platform. All my friends had already gotten so far out of sight. I was with a few random people on this one platform when suddenly we all somehow knew we had to stop moving and be quiet. The monster finally caught up to us in this giant well of darkness. However, this girl just kept on yapping, no matter how much I whispered for her to shut up. The monster caught up and tapped me on the shoulder and then all of a sudden, I was transformed to look like him. By that I mean I looked like myself, just covered in slime. Since all of use we're so cramped on that platform, we were all touching in someway or another so it spread to them as well. After that he leaped to the next platform and we followed. I followed so closely I could finally make out what he actually looked like. He had the build of a typical mummy; he was tall, broad shouldered, a little bit muscled, stone jaw, and instead of bandages, he was covered in purple and green ectoplasm. For some reason I admired him. Honestly, I don't think it's because he transformed me either. I just genuinely admired him. That's when I was right next to him and I felt myself say, "you're not so scary up close." And as we were chasing all the other people, he looked at me and smiled. Next thing I knew the two of us stopped for a moment while the other continued and we kissed, passionately. Honestly it felt really sweet. He hugged me and then motioned me to go with him to keep chasing the others who hadn't been 'ectoplasmafied' yet. We kept going deeper and deeper and eventually caught the last two people. We stopped again in the endless darkness and looked in each other's eyes again. And that's when I woke up.
I don't really have a clue as to what this dream meant but I definitely slept well while it happened. I felt relaxed when I woke up instead of feeling sore and exhausted. I don't know what any of it means but I'm sure that monster wasn't really a monster. I think he was just different and that he was so happy when someone finally noticed that he wasn't a monster. If I could I'd love to see him again.
You made time for me before we were dating, you make time for me when you're horny, how bout fucking making time for my emotions?
You always say how you want to help, how you want to be there for me. Well, here's your chance. And what are you doing? Fucking disappearing and leaving one word responses, telling me to talk to someone else. You build me up to just knock me down, it hurts. Why do i love you?
