”Wrap these up,” Kaiden ordered the saleslady who assisted us to which she happily complied.
We followed her for payment and Kaiden insisted on paying for them—even if I'm the one who made him wear all those clothes against his will. As we waited for them to finish packing the clothes, I felt nervous not knowing where we're going next.
It was then that I saw another outfit I wanted Kaiden to try. It was hidden amongst all the black suits in one corner. They were all black so it was hard to tell.
”Kaiden,” I called him, pulling his sleeves to get his attention. ”Can you try one last outfit, please?”
Kaiden was dumbfounded.
”Another one? That's the twelfth one already,” he asked, half doubting if I was serious.
I nodded enthusiastically and put my hands together, pleading. Kaiden gave up and sighed. As soon as he agreed, I rushed to get the outfit and gave it to him. He went back to the dressing room, dragging his feet, and changed. I felt sorry looking at him but it's the last one, so hang in there, Kaiden.
Few minutes passed and he still wasn't done. Because of that, I got worried so I knocked on the door of the dressing room to check on him.
”Kaiden, are you alright?”
”… No. I'm stuck.”
”Pft! You should have told me. Let me help you.”
Kaiden opened the door and I went inside not realizing the craziness of what I just did. As soon as I got in, I saw Kaiden, still in his casual clothes. He only removed his coat, but his shirt was still buttoned. The outfit I gave him, neatly folded on a chair.
”What's wrong? I thought you were stuck.”
”I am. My laziness is to the brim. I can't move my arms anymore.”
Blinking a few times, I burst out in laughter afterwards. Oh my goodness. It seemed that I already reached the peak of Kaiden's capacity for the day.
”Why are you laughing? It's your fault.”
”Yes, it is. I'm really sorry.”
”If you still want to see me in that outfit, you have to help me change.”
”Yes, yes. I'll help.”
Kaiden smirked. ”Start with unbuttoning this shirt. Then take it off of me.”
I followed what he said… but when I reached out to the button of his shirt, it finally hit me… I shouldn't be doing that. My hands suddenly trembled, and my face felt hot.
'T-this… I-I'm basically taking Kaiden's clothes off, right? S-so I'll see his… his naked body AGAIN. OMG OMG OMG. Will I survive this? Will I die? I'll be lucky if I only end up with a nosebleed.'
”What's wrong?” Kaiden asked in a teasing manner.
”Youuu…” I narrowed my eyes and stared at him. ”You're taking revenge on me, aren't you?”
”Am I?” he tilted his head and asked, as if he's the most innocent person in the world.
'Tsk. This guy… But I won't be fooled by that smile. If there's one thing I learned about Kaiden, it's that he takes his revenge… no matter what. And what he's making me do is his form of revenge on me. He knows I can barely stand looking at his naked body because of that incident in his bedroom! How very observant. A tough opponent indeed.'
”You definitely are,” I glared at him. ”You think I'll back down? Hmf!”
