"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOKrDTUdJc
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sUgE7uG5q
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBs39cHzx
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGZs5RjCNB
Collins laughed. "Are 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6y5hjgm9O
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEHwrDfUad
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOSZQOnn2U
Zoey looked at me with a hopeless look on her face. I on the other hand wasn't giving up. I turned to look at Mike.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLGH7uAraH
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5w3m1qvYL
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrGKZ96Ese
I didn't answer him right away as I answered Mike, "let's not make it a Mexican party, Mike. We can leave it out."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nwcRf4Nf6
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCNrhtBwrh
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylOMiaBECa
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQqBEHMfHs
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvNB12xCa1
"Gosh, what to do with 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsudoQeWroy
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU5nVrOchr
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThVxyb6BT1
end up in a cell."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hrDaCkn8A
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y1H4OfuZJ
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjKo74pWpy
"We promise," said Zoey.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilLCgWLHbY
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaPOmyVDhW
"Well, that went well," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeTT3vfkXS
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFhpy4ePnV
"There was nothing he 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk7AtUiczT
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYvATAkvh8
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhXNCC9P8o
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8FbHxm22s
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXX6C5tbHS
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccPh2ONltN
The five of us all came 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55DQ00b7aC
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs23kVQRvi
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhCKAN0CNk
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnyQeaUdEX
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsiV7bpq71
"I think we should stick together," said Christine. "We can't split up and just buy what we want. We didn't even make a list."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFfFa68Yi8
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlMJjQaqk6
"Okay, then sticking 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR4OAAM5qU
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmYzi566eN
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsj5tPLsjN
To make our shopping 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfWGpOLxb1
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dSXomfhx0
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKREG3Upq4S
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMFb4EJyq8
the shelves when he wasn't looking.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLzjzrYsUl
We even got red 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtf6jyeQQZ
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CW8jfhKmz
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkjAnx3KMt
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjzvLsrvqS
though she seems not to show it sometimes.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g949k7m7D
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBIHn6upI5
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXNfKoQBGH
"Oh, I'm scared for 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKEKUwGOpV
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrraKVL0KFO
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WnYzwlrO2
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fQtfihsWX
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUFnosOsbq
Mike did just that and 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq11VFm3kR
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTkt02bOWS
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPljLTc3320
Christine came to me with red party hats.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmSURZTd0z
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g9qHaUqx7
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k2TGtgq7S
"In case what?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMuNaZgrDO
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy1NZBmvY4
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqzl05eUNY
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RJLqV1eXg
"Lee is calling," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6qvto4v5c
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT7NbB42jw
"You guys just never 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJQlmfIXM9
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm7XeQbYSY
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4hCusG9en
you're throwing a party."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGSEvJsB2O
"Ya, we are," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiaIcnCnVA
"All I wanted was for 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2r8ToLIQ3
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VeXeJKcaS
party out of the blue because you wanted to."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz65ExNvzbX
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFcZGJktVN
"Don't tell me, save if 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJh3t6L9R8
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6CE0x2P9g
don't help, Collins might just fire me."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85O0S30dOk
"You know he wouldn't." I797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy180P5Yja
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi9xXXzPXO
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaLVaVvOnt
beauty salon at all."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb15tp2UPBQ
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUyarfyopY
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eoFtPMV82
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vlm88Rums
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbGJJmQ7gF
"Sure they can. It's not797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pb9ATfFaU
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhxeMTcgRn
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzyHLoThgW
call them." 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sKBer7Fp
"Ya, you do that."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSD8rhJrj2
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg7jiBQlNE
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmn3d4BpsO
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FdKmN3S1p
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRennbZuMi
"Red? Why red?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh2yJqZMdO
"Well, it's the theme for the party."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEMCat3nFm
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLpeJ7muQP
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiAjnZmAuV
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRjP1cCAKk
"Mmmm baking cakes is a lot of work. A cake would be nice but I bet these guys would expect a big one for the party."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCK9HNI9f2
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIRrmOdnxY
"Thanks, Lee."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjTOR7WxN6
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AFxSzdvLd
Lee cut the line and I 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN7T7G0fAN
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEN7Lk8Dzz
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYGyJDY5V8
into them with the trolley.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcip1872cz
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97fqAWNSQU
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfKUcmGKHy
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ4XjkAus5
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHhpySzQ5I
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaovTeV6SPF
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILNiHjC56a
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMXAah5CoB
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUshCyEBGho
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMazuEzyvod
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aPF1e9N8N
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryOvOdGe31
"Aren't we almost done 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0sUt81XqT
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd3NhpwQfZ
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSE4kpKG8t
"I think we got all that797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm1vncgiCr
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutTv7AHJkN
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6o6B4iiJY
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaJnotabPf
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpidw2GQ8Ya
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eeKkFIsdl
"Did someone say cake?" 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhd6IrekZi
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdSDC4N2PF
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EyJmxL7eb
My two brothers appeared from the last aisles with red party streamers as they sang Flo Rida's song "Cake", "I only came for the cake. Ca-ca-ca-cake Ca-ca-ca-cake!"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKniJ6J02u
"Okay, looks like I 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3KgIFPN9q
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPRttTDGVE
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbDyPFgJ5e
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzxZtPqXj0
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZJWvX2XCX
"No one knows," said 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryYQaAnCWS
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIqyTJOK4Z
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KxjNSyXbU
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI7rKshiFj
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDogI33FIvq
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeLcDiUK71
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6oETlGSJ1
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5Ertay33D
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5qpIkMZtu
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTwrVwFS4Y
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1HacGlGgs
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaAkN27bRP
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0VW3qRr3z
"Okay, let's pay and put all this in the car. We will only have forty minutes to get clothes and whatever that is red."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lgAPJbmUm
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPnY91Zlf9
We quickly went straight797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yIVKOh0YF
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiOAty4A3c
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7kbIRZ1x
easily by passersby.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqwlR9oYPZ
As soon as we were done 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ987UOqcSaZ
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9nGBwsqVE
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7MPNLBoMN
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjHfzQ7af3
another.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXU6VaII15
Surprisingly, as many 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B6n3yWgNd
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGZXgrVwc7
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwxX6fO2cP
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UsistO8SU
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkMqRdeHCY
to come out with were red shoes.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2woqTmrHKn
"This is getting 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAXFgS2pqS
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU3b8e6vt0
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeYPKXZh9I
can't seem to find the right outfit."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TFIMK6qi5
"Shouldn't we have just 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNvdlZK38i
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXg8B3yvRx
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHXC9QtWAa
"You would have looked like a fairy," I said. I knew the dress she was talking about. She couldn't get her eyes off it.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L8mXxKyrL
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolWV8OgkKl
"I feel so too," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO3OwrvBZv
"You know the offer is 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXuNMvQSTB
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAtSgEP9vk
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWUzgvY4dk
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzdd1ed1Vt
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHbhSsdNl0
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ4WqNS1ua
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aLagN3LhZ
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55SvwKPR8n
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF1enYAgyI
"No, I'm calling Lee. 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH79JyN5EdM
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnnmPVpksl
phone began to ring at the under end.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LSxJQxmSc
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPYl5skJos
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWC3xqOhfo
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKERJkgrID
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRjJaqTQ0Q
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORLzJMWF5j
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8387HZQOSk
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7GOTd1fgZ
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzXLfHpoSZ
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RV0ZjGAxf
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepjxmm7R9w
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhEjU8Z55P
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bQAmblzp7
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22KSce5k0J
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSanOmuJMk0
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ862dnwHTlg
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQXyoTe9d0
"Well, lucky her," said 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKtzTrPQDW
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNl5vKH3LU
like she found what she was looking for."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLftYpmQ9ws
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26XKyAJPuO
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD8hjPkqr4
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZXjIbscPe
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenH56s5Awu
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEiOTgXsZt
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6OTjZOESm
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccaNE4jT3u
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl0b6KzWFX
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu168wyywy
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFeGqlWNNy
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOppy5HMDz
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdXrPDlQoe
"Maybe it's because we didn't find a nice fancy boutique like this one," I answered as I noticed a red and white dress.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsG7Yabpk3
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rwHTUYtGo
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22ewNCOWt
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNK61OH59J
I kept on looking in the797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gDbALxTma
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKiCnSsFAB
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1BGmYxsIm
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESTRJqZdAZ
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrAYqj1mG0
"I like it," said 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QXHjBpM8h
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupTLEpRUaT
they are really going to match with your heels."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoED24sO80
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAguOO8x0G
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoekR5uu3eJ
"I didn't ask for your 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxhjAAp3Tk
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPUCjv5YyL
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD5oIe6nu4
"But I bet she looked more prettier."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUAgW8g0Nk
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyTKnKxsu3
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsFPUs31EV
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCcODcbvSa
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBvAr1gkjy
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhOjqgNCQ2
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdnjmtVWej
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqeQov6Kwj
Christine ran off to the797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmoZHedisN
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxDVKPS1rH
her hand and back in her usual clothes.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmYdb06QVL
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gSQImthrm
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKnJgv4ej
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiI0yVptOj
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaw0nXysoJ
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRxSjeetbR
"I feel the last four 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNSIHWUC0O
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzONVe2nFe
out a red top that didn't feel right still.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWXQDFWPfO
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLXrzOJI8l
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaaFuXjmXZ
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W61OQiPv1
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKgJCW2CG2
"True," said Zoey from the counter.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzd9YkpyCZ
"You can do it well 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3PHWIEWDS
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRo4NCAf7o
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRma1m4v5B
rack.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy6SF8TMnY
"And you don't have to 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dn6CvyDt6
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy3iDhSwx1
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3mFxlClau
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD195Lq0nR
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyatfxPQ25
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgypHj6aib1
"Me neither," said Daniel.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoy81OrnUg
"Well, now you know," said Lee.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSHYIYF7Jb
"Gosh, there is nothing 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzhW7h2X5Y
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5Rqvupqmx
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBwt0e3Rwr
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MxOCBj7G0
"Let me go in the last aisle."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC3K6w2hx0
Just as I was about to 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zCFJMd5T4
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglQdc9FQBZ
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeENo8EpeWl
backwards.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKxGetvvK8
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOklEeZIXx
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXCdPblcge
"Sam, what is it?" Lee asked as she came over to me. She probably hadn't seen me bump into the person in front of me.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQljpWTLqc
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqXmp8g4cS
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNWkSIGdQP
I looked at the person 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0L3ROrbw4
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovJjPmFagr
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDJdg0gFKP
"Hey," said Zoey as she 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuMpaU8mOf
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM5CAKvoaa
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGBz8evHD1
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9oAKClx5Z
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaBP4vvNSg
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmqWR3Teav
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsyAKR6PTH
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcebMwGoes
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlZW4kwuwW
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfK2MumbZm
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNruDxFRoM
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpNxRdnUb9
Immediately my two 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFHdRIOSdC
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgozNDWtjb
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAlRcjlVH4
Then all of the sudden, a797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFVyNnRvoc
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOBzt4K21S
was coming from. It was Christine.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQoaRTChN
She quickly covered her 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMvrBVwyyP
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yt1tKHp7A
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgdfM5LmV
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV3nasYfWl
"Spare her," said 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30g4YpvKEb
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLclIrBmQ0d
ourselves contained when we see famous people."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul8DT4UOMT
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiskGPG0Otw
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd2etFGbWw
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSbJtkGzj6
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkibHVuPBF
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEQVM2XKql
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcoUbgBtKo
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuY3j0tWzW
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmE60aOFDl
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0IkhOze7x
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxbUE5P91k
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1abTEIWECd
"I already did, thanks. 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEyQFuQ7Hd
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCKHAJZ6UR
to go back and prepare for the party."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN1vJAC9qr
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0a2LxSCx1
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uRSebHybu
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs1SbPYUdk
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcomON3xhy
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADHkfu9xWs
Joy turned around and I 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ0CPz8PwO
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYNAiJLFMW
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNpGcXbB6r
she drew out the one she was looking for.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZBMAVCvdQ
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdH1PH5drm
She gave me a red short 797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufPfw5u11U
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZN7JFyWhs
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHAbWo5dHz
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87IToopU0M
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmmVb0pmJr
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliG9tD6fDW
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreo1KcAh8Z
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAWHhp0AhA
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttScgvNXDK
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPRan0kOC
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYABlnEGEa
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bYRxxDXZn
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYbmfUeMOt
"As much as we would love to hang out with you guys at your party, I'm afraid we have to go back to the studio," said Irene.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPbmRrrMOm
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDyXVCDQ5A
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b4oB2MboM
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG114ie3SfL
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2JxOTf65t
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHerTj2E9LY
"Really?" I looked at the size of the dress by the tag at the back of it. "Even if it is, what if it's too big on me?"797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kDCv0lPbD
"Whenever I get you a dress, I never check the size because I know you perfectly. We have to go. We don't have much time."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWBjbRvJHb
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhHczWHIoU
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzH0J42rSE
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTucFPIA4PA
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8919DgbSyL
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.797Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpugVZeoc1
