THE FASHION GIRLIES SECRET

Sophie Silvia

22 years old live with her mother and have only one best friend

Kalita ku

A 24 year old living alone has many friends but the only one close to her is Sophie.

The first time Sophie and Kalita met was at a fashion show.

What started as simple admiration for each other's style slowly turned into something deeper.

They had too many similarities to call it coincidence.

The same birthday month.

The same love for fashion.

The same late-night habits.

The same comfort in silence.

And before they realized it—

they had become inseparable.

For almost two years, they lived together as roommates.

A beautiful pale girl with soft brown wavy hair.

And a handsome brown-skinned Asian girl with long black straight hair.

Completely different.

Yet somehow perfectly matched.

Even after Sophie moved back to her homeland, their bond never weakened.

They still called each other every day.

Still made time to meet once every month.

Still acted like two lovesick best friends who could never stay apart for too long.

—

One evening—

both of their phones buzzed at the exact same time.

An invitation.

Met Gala.

Sophie’s eyes widened immediately.

At the same moment, Kalita was already reaching for her phone to call her.

But the call didn’t go through.

Busy.

Again.

And again.

Sophie puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Kalita stared at her own phone before laughing softly under her breath.

“She’s definitely calling me.”

Just then—

Sophie’s phone rang.

Ku~ 💌

Her pout deepened before she finally answered the video call.

The screen lit up with Kalita’s smiling face.

The moment Kalita saw Sophie pouting, her expression softened immediately.

“Sophy~”

“My caramel… why are you pouting already?”

Sophie crossed her arms dramatically.

“Where were you so busy?”

Kalita chuckled quietly.

“I was calling you.”

“And I think you were doing the same thing.”

Sophie’s lips slowly parted before she looked away in embarrassment.

Kalita smiled at how adorable she looked.

Then she asked gently,

“So… my caramel got the invitation too?”

The moment those words left her mouth, Sophie brightened instantly.

“Yes!!”

“And listen—”

She moved closer to the camera excitedly.

“What if we surprise each other with our outfits?”

“No spoilers until the gala.”

“And then we’ll finally see each other there for the first time.”

She kept talking without stopping.

Explaining ideas.

Themes.

Colors.

Accessories.

Meanwhile, Kalita simply rested her cheek against her palm and listened quietly.

Watching Sophie talk like she was the most beautiful thing in the world.

Hours passed like that.

Until suddenly—

Sophie’s stomach growled loudly.

She froze in horror.

“Oh my god.”

Kalita burst into laughter.

“I think your tummy is asking for food after all this planning.”

Sophie covered her face in embarrassment.

Kalita smiled softly before speaking in her usual gentle tone.

“Go eat something first.”

“And sleep early.”

“Don’t stay awake all night trying to choose an outfit.”

Sophie blinked.

Because that was exactly what she had planned to do.

“…Okay.”

“Good.”

Kalita smiled.

“Goodnight, my caramel.”

Sophie’s expression softened immediately.

“Goodnight too, Ku~”

The call ended.

But neither of them stopped thinking about the other afterward.

—

The day of the Met Gala finally arrived.

In separate dressing rooms—

both stood in front of their mirrors.

Checking every detail carefully.

Thinking about only one person.

Sophie’s cheeks slowly turned pink as she adjusted her golden dress.

Meanwhile, Kalita couldn’t stop smiling at herself.

Thinking about one pale girl she had missed for weeks.

—

Kalita entered the gala first.

Cameras flashed endlessly around her.

Interviews.

Photoshoots.

Questions.

But even while smiling at the cameras—

her eyes kept searching for someone.

And then—

she saw her.

Sophie.

Walking down the entrance in a breathtaking golden gown.

Her hair tied elegantly into a bun.

Her collarbones are softly visible beneath the lights.

She looked ethereal.

For a moment—

Kalita forgot how to breathe.

She simply stood there frozen.

Until Sophie finally walked in front of her with a small nervous smile.

Waiting.

Expecting a reaction.

But when Kalita still said nothing, Sophie gently tapped her shoulder.

“Ku~~”

Kalita blinked and finally snapped out of her daze.

“…Hm?”

Sophie looked at her carefully.

“Do I not look good?”

Kalita answered immediately.

“No.”

“You look so beautiful that I genuinely forgot to breathe.”

Sophie’s face instantly turned red.

She hadn’t expected something so direct.

Meanwhile, Kalita was still staring at her like she couldn’t look away.

Trying to break the suddenly soft silence, Sophie spoke quickly,

“You look pretty too.”

Kalita smiled faintly before gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind Sophie’s ear.

“Not more than you.”

Sophie blushed harder before lightly pushing her shoulder.

“You idiot…”

“Come on. Everyone must be waiting for us.”
