She unlocked the phone and read the two messages that came from the same person.

Hyson: Video call...

Hyson: NOW!!!

Raelle used her iPad to make a video call to him and what greeted her was a mess. Yes, in her view was Hyson's room that was a complete mess because of how his clothes had been scattered all over his bed.

Soon, his pitiful face appeared on the screen as he whined, "Ellie, I don't have anything to wear!"

"Oh, really?" she responded calmly. "Then put everything behind you on fire!"

Hyson squinted his eyes at her, "I'm serious."

"So am I," she replied.

"Don't make me regret calling you," warned Hyson.

"Technically, I'm the one who is calling you," she reminded him kindly.

"But I'm the one who asked you to do so," he shot back.

"Whatever!" she ended this stupid topic like that. "Now, would you please enlighten me why are we having this discussion?"

Hyson groaned in frustration, "As I just said, I have nothing to wear. I'm supposed to have dinner with you tonight and I can't seem to find appropriate attire for it."

Raelle looked carefully at his face through the screen and recalled, "Why are you so concerned about that? Don't forget you even came out to eat with me in shorts and a tank top without even showering!"

"That's because it was you," he told her. "This time it's different. I'm having dinner with you and your husband."

"The keyword is, 'My Husband', right?" Hyson nodded his head without any hesitation. "And why are you so concerned about your image before him?"

"It's all for you," he put the pot back on her head as if whatever he'd do would all be for her sake. "Your husband should not take your best friend lightly. My image will reflect your image. It's about our dignity right now!" He took a pause and went on, "We are in this together!"

Raelle blinked at him blankly, "It's not even 9 o'clock in the morning yet. Why are you even picking up clothes so early?"

Hyson tutted at her, "The early bird catches the worm!"

"Oh," was all she could say to him in reply. She took a pause and added, "Let me give you the same advice you gave to me; close your eyes and pick one. The easiest and simplest solution." Hyson's lips twitched at her using his tactic back on him. He should have known how she could make his words come to bite him back. "Don't worry about my image, because I don't even worry about it myself." She gave him a look before saying, "Now, scram!"

He heard a knock at the door and then heard a voice coming from outside, "Yue Fei, open the door already!"

Hyson sighed out and unlocked the door letting his roommate enter. Yes, he had come back to the dorm which he shared with his group members. And he even had a roommate.

When his roommate looked at the mess he had created inside the room, his brows jumped up. "What is all this?"

"Zhen Ge, I'm confused about what to wear tonight," answered Hyson with a conflicted look in his eyes.

His roommate, Lin Zhen furrowed his brows slightly before saying, "We don't have a meeting at the company neither do we have any schedule for today. Oh, are you going on a date?"

Hyson gave him a look, "Zhen Ge, we are already suffering enough because one of us went on a date." Lin Zhen sighed out but couldn't refute his words. "Anyway, I'm still not interested in dating. It's just that I'm supposed to meet my best friend's husband for the very first time tonight. I want to look my best."

Lin Zhen's gaze at him became even more complicated, "You want to impress your best friend's husband? Why?"

"I don't want to impress him," replied Hyson. He wasn't lying. He really didn't want to impress Shui Xian. No matter how much he admired Shui Xian, it wasn't enough for him to want to impress him. He really was only thinking about Raelle. As her only best friend, he needed to match her well, no? "As I just that, I just want to look my best."

Lin Yuan nodded his head. He actually understood that Hyson was insisting on looking his best because he wanted to look good for his best friend. So, he gave his sincere suggestion, "I'll suggest you not to try so hard though. You look the best in everything. Just ask your fans if you don't believe me."

Hyson looked at him straight, "Ge, you're really not helpful."

Lin Yuan chuckled, "I'm sorry. I know I'm really not able to help with that. But I can help you in cleaning up this mess that you created."

Hyson turned him down saying, "There is no need for that. I'll clean it up myself once I've decided what I'm gonna wear."

Lin Yuan smiled at him, "It's alright. You know how much I love cleaning anyway. So, it's not a bother to me all." Of course, Hyson knew that. As much as he was an expert at creating a mess, his roommate was just as much of an expert at cleaning that mess. How the hell did they manage to stay as roommates for so long? "By the way, this mysterious best friend of yours is really special to you, eh?"

Hyson raised his brows innocently, "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Every time, you talk about her, it shows how much importance she has in your life," replied Lin Yuan according to what he had observed being his roommate for years now.

Hyson scratched the back of his head as he said, "She is like that sibling that makes you frustrated whether to punch her in the face or squish her in your embrace. She always gives me those conflicting feelings."

Lin Yuan laughed heartily at Hyson's remark but didn't say anything in reply. It seemed like this best friend was indeed very special.
