The place where I took Kaiden was… the Fashion District. It was a place filled with all the luxurious clothing brands, accessories, shoes, and everything about fashion. Yup. I knew that I sucked at fashion but I had a different purpose for the visit. And it was all related to my new book, and other future books I was thinking of writing.

What I loved about this Fashion District was that they had all sorts of clothes one may need—even costumes you normally wouldn't find anywhere! Seeing the place, Kaiden reluctantly parked the car somewhere safe and easy to spot.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like that?" I teased him.

One thing I noticed with Kaiden during the times we went shopping with Crystal before school started was that… he hated it. Not that he disliked fashion, he just hated changing clothes over and over just to try if they looked good on him.

To be fair, he was the male version of Crystal—someone who could make even garbage clothes look fashionable once he wore it. Literally, everything suited him! So I guessed that was why he found it useless to do that over and over. Plus, he had his own stylist that so far, hadn't made him wear ugly outfits.

All in all, he was just lazy. But today, I wanted to make sure he would try on everything that I would give him. He-he. I'd also make sure to take LOTS of pictures—for reference of course. Definitely not because I just wanted to see him wearing different clothes than usual. And I'm definitely not sneaking in some sexy outfits on the pile. Nuh-uh-uh.

And so, Kaiden and I walked around the district until I found a store I wanted to go into. Kaiden's expression had been a mixture of laziness, disinterest, and trying to humour me. I could read the words "Why did I agree to this?" on his face.

"Woah! This is perfect!" I grinned and immediately dashed inside the store, picking clothes for Kaiden like a storm. The saleslady didn't even need to guide me and help me out.

The sighing, and uninterested Kaiden comforted himself by sitting inside the VIP lounge while I busied myself. It had its own dressing room and he was sitting in front of it. He must have felt like a sheep waiting for the time he would be slaughtered. Ha-ha-ha! Poor Kaiden.

It took me about half an hour picking clothes. Once a pile was already on my arms, one of the sales ladies helped me out. Then, we went to the VIP lounge where Kaiden was waiting. The moment he saw the pile of clothes I brought with me, his face went pale. Oh my goodness! His reaction was epic. I quickly stole a picture when I saw it.

"Go on, try them out," I told him enthusiastically. Picking a set, I gave it to him and pushed him inside the dressing room.

"Are you really going to make me try ALL of those? Can't we just pick one and go?"

"Nope, I want to see you in ALL of them."

Kaiden scratched his head as he locked the door to the dressing room. Few minutes passed and he was done changing.

"WOAH!!! That looks amazing on you!" I squealed when he came out. Happily grinning to myself, I took lots of pictures of him. "OMG! You look like a prince!"

The other saleslady in the shop squealed silently and giggled like me. I didn't blame them. Kaiden's looks were so squeal-worthy. Imagine the most handsome idol that existed on earth, dressing up as a prince… yup! That kind of squeal-worthiness.

Click! Click! Click!

The first outfit I gave him was a princely outfit made of white cloth, with silver and blue designs. There were intricate embroideries on the collar, hems, and cuffs of the suit. Overall, it was perfect for him. Overwhelmed by his handsomeness, I grabbed a plain white mask from the pile and shoved it on his face.

"Aww. Why are you suddenly making me wear a mask?" Kaiden asked with a muffled voice because of the mask. It was a full face mask that covered all of his features.

"N-Nothing. I just thought it w-will look good with the mask on."

Oh no. I hoped my face wasn't blushing hard right now. Anyway, pictures…

Click! Click! Click!

After taking pictures of his princely outfit, I grabbed another set of clothes and asked him to change into it. Shrugging, he went back inside and changed. A few moments later, he was done changing and stepped out of the room.

The next outfit was a black Traditional Chinese Hanfu. It was pure black except for the golden dragon embroidery on the belt. Around his neck was a fur coat, which was a perfect match for the overall outfit. He looked like a Master Swordsman so I took an ornamental sword and had him hold onto it and make a few poses as I took his pictures.

"Kaiden, you're nailing all these fantasy clothes! You'd make a really great model, too!"

Truly, he was overly handsome. OMG! I'm so lucky to be alive and witness this greatness before my very eyes!

After that, I made him try on a few more clothes until I'm satisfied. One of them was that of a pirate, a mafia boss suit, a king's clothes, idol boy band, an elf clothing, a gunman, an assassin, an adventurer, and last was a sexy suit with an undershirt that was fitted for him. My nose almost bled from all the handsomeness I witnessed.

"Ahhhh… I got a lot of pictures. I'm so happy. Thank you so much, Kaiden."

"Yeah, you should be. You treated me like a human, male, barbie doll," he grunted. Oh no. It seemed that I upset him.

"I'm so sorry. You're not angry at me, are you?" I tilted my head cutely. Hopefully, I was cute enough to pacify his annoyance.

Kaiden squinted his eyes. "I won't be angry if you come with me next."

"Sure. Where to?"

And there it was again… his evil smirk, and nerve-wracking silence. Oh no. Did I agree too soon?
