"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSjiSeswtI
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW24IhL6w6
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLCMR2ArER
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AlVGg5EBu
Collins laughed. "Are 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU1dgRlH5v
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwaOp9gWv8
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaioOOZeqY
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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOewXqITaI
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4cRrAFEeu
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPseTgKKXW
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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0geWLZdfu
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAKevVeDsm
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4xsIMiFnA
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqpz9wgZVj
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqbNzZlP22
"Gosh, what to do with 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJGWYh51Rz
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNLwjjvCo
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8fZwqxboj
end up in a cell."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBOFIaO7m6
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSI8jEyaaW
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZrQ3KJYQY
"We promise," said Zoey.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmIwFtGEUZ
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiYMLphCuS
"Well, that went well," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbQ7Onxg1d
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3MjJv4CC7
"There was nothing he 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oFYJ70wAU
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ms5FwxAF
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoAZE9cxwL
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KP0r2pcrd
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq1mQrjMwr
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyGWn4hwmB
The five of us all came 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGPWhYcKHz
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyKBt8097z
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJEquBgNTd
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1uLggNL8w
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3R8nWr7iY
"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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87o7QVKvQQ
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplkMFgu3Se
"Okay, then sticking 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM29R2gjlaX
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOj6riKHrv
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6qoUwLmnY
To make our shopping 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW8DI4jD1U
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EDftpBHhS
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lX6pF4fgx
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAbUC5T39t
the shelves when he wasn't looking.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVlibAPV42
We even got red 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuflMi8huTc
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSNpI2hgUt
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtBO7VbBFc
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq80MjkfX97
though she seems not to show it sometimes.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47I9fCszDW
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk24s4XFnEJ
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz1pVlkBjp
"Oh, I'm scared for 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5EPlxh6i6
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cKLmcf14d
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XMkNfWd9
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwqGtlAebK
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxB40ncyWM
Mike did just that and 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDrh77GHpv
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh8P19QoDr
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1tqs8gRVb
Christine came to me with red party hats.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdt029Td5N
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0OeGwcKWX
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOtph0h5qD
"In case what?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDal72CpdDo
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK9up3aS6i
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7100biThEo
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3ZHptUbI9
"Lee is calling," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zl36y9kmC
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJpSIJ2NYm
"You guys just never 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1u2nhZKkL
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa7ENefM4z
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiidag7Cxz
you're throwing a party."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul6opajQT7
"Ya, we are," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsi2ofxRLf
"All I wanted was for 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVDBoe0vPX
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj4RnqYDKZ
party out of the blue because you wanted to."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpChl4kbhC
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFbMted5Di
"Don't tell me, save if 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1YiyHv7Rd
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DvtaGLVS1
don't help, Collins might just fire me."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdy3r0JTOm
"You know he wouldn't." I812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNc5h92Egb
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2o8vzgj5x
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dJFicIgJH
beauty salon at all."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbLby0ncUc
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHTkFnIKQQ
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCTwxMjYay
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSovhZBwKG
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdpl5hiHG9
"Sure they can. It's not812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoCZr4wGpM
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmOoJ6pDog
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxsvqryHZg
call them." 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u13eLGjkJ
"Ya, you do that."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQ0fzu9Ov
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW1Z77G1uZ
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28XQ61jVQQ
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFmVSLXmqL
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMLb2MrxcY
"Red? Why red?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAB5Mthxba
"Well, it's the theme for the party."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7Yf9p062V
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs3buJSOml
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xMFq4WI6s
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxiBLo4Zmi
"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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAtHkRFOGy
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhczaJQPQ69
"Thanks, Lee."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLioatkmhvG
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fH7w2bmKW
Lee cut the line and I 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGl1JsJQDv
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6zwZC8sNr
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3fZAhC4cy
into them with the trolley.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGK1LKBxi0
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVzbHCeqtH
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNNBxQ6fKe
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j0ESrkrNR
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPmgGyZfDS
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFlMGTNUWv
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PvMuePrna
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mvcVqhvVD
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2WN0N5heR
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkrBNeL020
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2McDg0nm6
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5dIF8rqzQ
"Aren't we almost done 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCrT9opCn8
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH8kAmNt7y
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR4v5QJJCC
"I think we got all that812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyQzLluieN
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxXCoMw7sN
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07hA5MDrj3
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHZwPMRSbq
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxiIkbm4So
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUCs5loOT8
"Did someone say cake?" 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDlwkL0yMW
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziPh73ZtUJ
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJPxWFremY
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!"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9qM8RvJwO
"Okay, looks like I 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UTQRlidYo
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtl1k2vnfG
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWGu30mKU1
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7H5FmKgAR
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9YdUc3blC
"No one knows," said 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgpgW0uasQ
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDXreKSfvR
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWCa97NxD6
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnk0eyDIOK
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RmNT9cgRh
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZTcCLMOjx
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7EqgHKHR
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0bfubjbqG
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AxxqtrbfS
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X2PiCeTEV
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtSP6iA0z8
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglEs8YQVeJ
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VokVuILds
"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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVapLeXYKW
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO9CpMnLFN
We quickly went straight812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaBGomLSzH
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUiW1eKpKj
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAm50owFiu
easily by passersby.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PKh4SBtn6
As soon as we were done 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHgX4g9fZ
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpVLm1kOGI
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1dXQk3JbN
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuta3qUFRWp
another.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g1HKS2YQk
Surprisingly, as many 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY0ecALC6s
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Q843FDwQ
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWGHPh9Bt8
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgVl8P9oUU
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQujYCYWvJ
to come out with were red shoes.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscsvaWK4Mr
"This is getting 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHRZeemJ8q
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOnsZraBPw
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4aXJqg2u5
can't seem to find the right outfit."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNP3YVg9OH
"Shouldn't we have just 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTqS0FEEBe
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8CXjLqdLd
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe8ZE98b2v
"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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjUgjN1MQY
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6TYM9t4Yw
"I feel so too," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uwzkPzIbz
"You know the offer is 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVSu3PqSy0
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQysd9SPI4
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAcrGKVdQh
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqR7Fd6P48
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm63YiQohP
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSkFL107Lo
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDdieDj20R
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLrtEd1ftb
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGpjCSQSuD
"No, I'm calling Lee. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJSShoccjn
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljnHnY0ge4
phone began to ring at the under end.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1f7wHQFzq
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuRYA5ovu1
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy250y4JPT
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi35na54UEm
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWJhYJe2ih
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE76nYTqWnZ
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptzj2sqjW4
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWoBKEisA7
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiATM1ubWHA
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSEPzWDb52
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdZnMKYnAi
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl2O7sQOfq
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlvXL1Kkef
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nJLBEKuYa
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPp9MtIKDk
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFeaRx3LBa
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sLbKnrzho
"Well, lucky her," said 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRta0kuYgy
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXAAObgBot
like she found what she was looking for."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5a4TyLpoZ
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lB1CUSpTJ
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7apb2fh9w
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoYqbMeKxF
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuR5OofhpG
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeUrnRFDaj
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFjJKd3byS
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0pDhI4bCj
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6csUSfOIc
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBbTiKJD8G
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf565Zj9qhq
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknmE7tjwjo
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cipavOrHS
"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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYkKEWKDo4
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5shRTeOUB6
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Qr5PdEKT
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKD72m5MMa
I kept on looking in the812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYpyK4oR1o
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZaZwbaUhj
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeNJ0gOR4f
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwWwqaiay6
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJD5UM6euo
"I like it," said 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LXgriolRM
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBiHekLCo8
they are really going to match with your heels."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgMCJ9nt05
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwhVDdaGwq
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKHILPYvkF
"I didn't ask for your 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ryZx6Oun
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx38jfsY9n
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9AgZZvi8X
"But I bet she looked more prettier."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJczqDAUq4
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOE3rmHAO2
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4wl8cWjY2
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvN9aWam3U
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvphQRqSyhx
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC3bn1ZsYN
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Hf8TMckn
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSwKChe942
Christine ran off to the812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3w07yo55W
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nOvOGE7MU
her hand and back in her usual clothes.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrItIjg8MQ
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX0igthTdt
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEeNh5fpzU
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjzRjuq91d
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G5ZVK5VmF
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu50HJFI7p
"I feel the last four 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3yu1sVMm2
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHLrbVcXsj
out a red top that didn't feel right still.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk5XNJgXAS
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftPfAfejRb
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7gOc2yHeE
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKtkehdsqH
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvRTNWQGuZ
"True," said Zoey from the counter.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Nj8GsKW2
"You can do it well 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXxOVhFU1q
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjxWvEoJwB
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAIW1VwnPm
rack.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQNEQa7tGv
"And you don't have to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVlfwLy8HC
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3l4HgZmff
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqZK6sT8Aw
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPXvOqatuy
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCya85PH3HO
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUnBaAt4lH
"Me neither," said Daniel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlgl38ZtPm
"Well, now you know," said Lee.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWfFql6oYK
"Gosh, there is nothing 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84o63v1H52
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRV8LFHINf
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0CSJXj3JE
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe9BhkyTR0
"Let me go in the last aisle."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RqH5Da6zT
Just as I was about to 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTwe0zjyP7
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvkNpQWRgm
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA6YGlbQsg
backwards.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYkCQ9mvzz
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcp6iAZIl3
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHB5UQZJ2u
"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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiiBHLxmFA
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUfxUjcdaH
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6LdQxMS2E
I looked at the person 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvSFSzXMw
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLIlaYA1EW
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuKDTvOyGd
"Hey," said Zoey as she 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxltfrFaoW3
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF61uZbYzgc
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHtfWarAM2
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj1rSC8jkd
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5IVq8Blk7
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynaR6LD1xG
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sY3YD610I
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHGuiWICSX
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhmJKsc6O
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjy8Cv3ksp
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsi2GorpPS
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUpIaqmAkr
Immediately my two 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHmLB5Iq89
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBee9ScYwf
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85uGpzh0Qq
Then all of the sudden, a812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PS5v9ikkB
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7SEyDyboR
was coming from. It was Christine.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5uj8PPVBy
She quickly covered her 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQmUYpMl5v
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkfw8ZZwgu
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXlLcmOIzk
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBJ4lF8COF
"Spare her," said 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIbYALvddb
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF5x1HNFJk
ourselves contained when we see famous people."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaXTWZoKqW
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYNCPnvzBn
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoZLueVm8L
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f6aceyd8n
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv7cNzqLg4
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyri0k16aG
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYjvSzfbiD
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97QP3avcP6
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOaFEr0IhG
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMmIi7RULx
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb1nMUcYUe
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd7MizZrm6
"I already did, thanks. 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsD1awHn4Q
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1NEJ7wLIo
to go back and prepare for the party."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47XvtLbQsb
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZrF2Wfwal
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWcDgN9vn1
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eM7kbBodH
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w9N5JmJhP
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFHKieDxa3
Joy turned around and I 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8StuVLfGs
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DwhU9fax3
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLFEBfYTw1
she drew out the one she was looking for.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJpqbWmk17
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP5I2oW5iY
She gave me a red short 812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgH9mOM1Ee
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyYF21YMTR
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusBD2nU9ne
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ8h2ZPrfu
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36CuioXmaO
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Qb8gV2NW
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna4Jouf22G
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAMUZcLfke
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxafgO8GuL
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR7zfj9Ckn
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IsXP5cqkc
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl4pLq2E1L
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lh0U40FRq
"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.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH4h1Io7OH
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HQVPuiAPC
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDnSFsm5qg
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxjX8Xmerz
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRgvRqmJN5
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGS4imSBkt
"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?"812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYmFTKr7Ib
"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."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TGJD30KPn
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYpjLRtSJ5
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ynMCNeQD
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnpShAFCa7
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwEzSSIUrv
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.812Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuotN4dkd8C
