"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFKgs7AAUo
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkxYXlsgO
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cjomfxeJ6
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WknO6tm0
Collins laughed. "Are 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJKAjCJOCt
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8JTPertq9
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2sYTrgsAK
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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9CpEGSHx
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YjzTUMESR
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13eRQtcotw
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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FaWXXM1f4
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgq5wA3rB5
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgIRUJ0YfB
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l45MhX7iA
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwYhVx8bFf
"Gosh, what to do with 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CKXMQydrp
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEVQd8PXAV
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkml2BEuXSb
end up in a cell."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YKjPVjHZL
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsyG6EDFIf
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqimmEpYlI
"We promise," said Zoey.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zLPdu3sc9
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3PSCDRYcE
"Well, that went well," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEuPi9KRAn
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXv5zbE9w1
"There was nothing he 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZEW35SE2a
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzgRlMRLbA
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6TtNSC7AA
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxdX4VuxD5
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpnLZvnt8S
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbciWeAcNso
The five of us all came 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcYhGlq6dv
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsciX9213ms
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmCiMasNwS
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtshYkw7WCV
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdJnmjMoIo
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqnw2sahvW
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr8Hr9QDEL
"Okay, then sticking 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzcxajKd0o
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ttJBbJ9ry
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAcAGC8DXi
To make our shopping 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ve7nQMdws
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZAU23wlQh
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlFe9AUT2L
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LQB5a0RRy
the shelves when he wasn't looking.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf21tV8HOR7
We even got red 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy31bPmDAXK
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg2nka2K6l
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvuXRvAtj9
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBWrCmkSso
though she seems not to show it sometimes.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5nOyOV66m
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45QFHufLWC
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXewXT0O6P
"Oh, I'm scared for 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3nuCxFdsU
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm15fXa56t8
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbsz2HhtOS
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7fA1IpL1J
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7pITaRgUF
Mike did just that and 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewatP6QtIh
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jROBdjtmT
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOl0LJLSuv
Christine came to me with red party hats.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbj0rMv0hJ
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIBfVPqJ32
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT4oCUEnrN
"In case what?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKHyV08eRq
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3XwIpdTnJ
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA18zzIPq8
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmKCqz6Gok
"Lee is calling," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpX9iC4Bap
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZcCylJfLQ
"You guys just never 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvEs5B4iVG
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggap1g9JAe
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTGKzzjET3
you're throwing a party."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTaIjqTxCm
"Ya, we are," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jmo0bhDLl
"All I wanted was for 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LPTxyWlDF
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPXas24JBM
party out of the blue because you wanted to."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieV6plUJ4W
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd7r6Afp0s
"Don't tell me, save if 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxp1XIdA2f
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3HZuvTUjE
don't help, Collins might just fire me."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda9KpkVIyG
"You know he wouldn't." I870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxQ5ueXI2W
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCGRLCQt7Q
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUqDbkedBc
beauty salon at all."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLX2jdtdpl
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4vvtKoLxn
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu0aakHK9e
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh11jXw4kw
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq8So1Qjyi
"Sure they can. It's not870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB7rHTzqee
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcpWbSzqG5
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTaBdIcWI7
call them." 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmxhwCYHi5
"Ya, you do that."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vVKwS3xrR
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk4rGwvTUw
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UiOmSXTI3
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyINZmFxmI9
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGbTKFBtp
"Red? Why red?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1YiJv84M7
"Well, it's the theme for the party."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xc66x7QOK
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZiDhsuisi
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSthN4MzJ1W
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7auRKzVHb
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMILvyFByLj
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoFOpq5r3o
"Thanks, Lee."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfnRMYXIYr
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6iDHSz1mW
Lee cut the line and I 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQWMW0EEMp
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH7eFj7SDZ
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Igp04lzd
into them with the trolley.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61L4Ypu1Db
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOfaKmluCg
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ8rQfKykZ
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vTSCugRvb
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c1FM5o2lu
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNJByrcl2M
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjQFxDX3lN
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqwGTYwwfm
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2de03R03l
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQevdu7gbQ
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwfoohTD28
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpoUv4XrR5
"Aren't we almost done 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8SOAEUfO2
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFrvOvwDGt
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xVAaSPp67
"I think we got all that870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lGPTIiM5G
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX5fPSLnGf
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvTgm8DQkn
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMZ8kdItwr
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vNOJkgilg
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPV3BxartZ
"Did someone say cake?" 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv99HUGlNo8
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rOjKYYtdC
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6spX6ammJO
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!"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXBsmxctQu
"Okay, looks like I 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1OP7ChEuy
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBW58SnHgo
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajSoUMzHxv
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAv1C2C5EY
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y4OjtuWOr
"No one knows," said 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOydAWqy9v
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLfanKmFf3
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHL8byaIIY
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBILZlV3qGW
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PT4jhglze
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAfVG0m5jT
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dv4oDiYXd
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRY8mzkOB2
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPPxs6xF1o
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ewEd4Pa7R
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk3Ed71wba
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O0zfoxsiN
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11cANYbGEx
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcQ35e16q9
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5QkWSdnlO
We quickly went straight870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj959cLVkH9
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3ffU5azlk
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzwPf4MkFP
easily by passersby.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOLpdN0EqI
As soon as we were done 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDU1kNWNgC
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa74fdCA4iZ
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvA5MvN0PE
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6INsZaOBZh
another.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEevZNk6t8v
Surprisingly, as many 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VnGjBN6xj
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtqNfqlOqa
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuhmIsMimm
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt2uoyeZZW
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bQEZqGeqf
to come out with were red shoes.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf3OB9rpEP
"This is getting 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2U7d8HqrS
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WmspIHF9y
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EvEbVJoNu
can't seem to find the right outfit."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt62hVQnlf
"Shouldn't we have just 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9D1mxC4uU
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr9ycqPz9R
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHEZQQXCKy
"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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEqupElOzH
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEdQjFmwCC
"I feel so too," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZs8LrDY7G
"You know the offer is 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdivYGTaKcQ
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3XpsH2CIB
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMuAU35jb0
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ovCIrfe0r
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaccLrPVMuH
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JS0aIrp35
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmc7AWssIq
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3DwoZEad0
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWagDwB1vsU
"No, I'm calling Lee. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUe0OyN2lf
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tUZhntOi8
phone began to ring at the under end.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyFWeom1tK
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYvMJp1inC
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNIGSh9YFI
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7TessKyF2
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L18Ctkip9
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8qncJuSYj
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z2CvYDn8L
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSygHLzLBgT
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWePUomaBB
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kqYifqVmm
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEhr21uQS0
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3fUuynRgJ
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qkc95NPnT
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvLAbxx4Ii
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu0EyrM3oD
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW513HwpM9
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH5sOQQ9wh
"Well, lucky her," said 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQUWp4ChYT
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDxaNI3pFw
like she found what she was looking for."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa5VJx8TET
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw9Gvk8jat
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeplYnKOwqK
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiEgnUD4lK
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs40wT9KVM
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYiJZDfvPz
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshkS8eNbcE
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq3zIi80Hi
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbxRYmr1fH
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdd6e5OBPb
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSw4YuLMuu
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlUi8mrqoK
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBhDuqmVkI
"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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljich9qR3W
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbYZ59ug7s
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS33y7HUclh
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VqK2GuWcW
I kept on looking in the870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrqcMbbuif
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp63GWnhNgZ
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUuKpT2ORR
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5tCyQ18eU
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHEIl8zOK4
"I like it," said 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1hGLEJtKp
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjJeuDkofy
they are really going to match with your heels."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE9PclaUfw
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt6O69VBMB
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTdBzq3muT
"I didn't ask for your 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJjzq7vHd8
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX86APdAhHG
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOMLFtEV8k
"But I bet she looked more prettier."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHulGHtg5lc
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOj8MjXPqs
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUONwXFuKz9
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ6p26QBw3
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPcrfhmWcC
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVfPbtMNGb
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMmuJU4aXL
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXE3W7qafn
Christine ran off to the870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfe3VC4C1d
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVAebhPKD
her hand and back in her usual clothes.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnZ4K4cDC4
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡola5664UYJ
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeanw2CGykU
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC19sXPvMv
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKwOKWcEpi
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgX7Pbhhjc
"I feel the last four 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEmVHvMRPs
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VMzK5b1K8
out a red top that didn't feel right still.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKp3bq2Wzw
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy70b0zllB
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKNWVQaB8U
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OVxQvgUrs
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRwkJJJcyT
"True," said Zoey from the counter.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eEsTxjNJb
"You can do it well 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1muYRLaIOa
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoEnEQW1oj
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVxCSWhAMc
rack.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC70mWI000v
"And you don't have to 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jwlCwI8vP
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMz9J3OYN
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMkCM4exX7
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolK89kwvoT
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylPBmZMU4m
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB1YRPwOTX
"Me neither," said Daniel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gZdZJ4qjH
"Well, now you know," said Lee.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP9zfV2bSH
"Gosh, there is nothing 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9rMLxjvB3
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6JJr5Tfo9
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MAt7TdeDu
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhhJ3Sm1ay
"Let me go in the last aisle."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrby3Bw4CJ
Just as I was about to 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazWwuVbCil
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqSNKR1SlG
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFVe1jY8SV
backwards.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wuzq9EkCG
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkOEBriPX
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVWyBDjp3c
"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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYqLClToPI
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvdMgdRrxf
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOI8wiotEa
I looked at the person 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI7qj2SVGc
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKfpeHqJ6I
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAiw8h73is
"Hey," said Zoey as she 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9otjvRET3
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyZVry5cCo
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpPZ7vvruo
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApiVyqxLCE
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHWm3xcsSK
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2BFZckBT5
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoLL8XzmEr
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfBRxEu1Nr
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Vsc26iYs
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2jgVHEjIG
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7eeEuI9fj
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKie5TU42o
Immediately my two 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAgkMUvew
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk56pMlezi
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQiIKxMLW
Then all of the sudden, a870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNTH8OX2rK
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzR8XBeUO7
was coming from. It was Christine.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyLG62x9tN
She quickly covered her 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoemm0nsvJ
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWuZMbdUD
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSoibLY1t3
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZlslVWCNk
"Spare her," said 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVCcEwBOWX
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhQBBmppcs
ourselves contained when we see famous people."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5DaCbz3qn
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhbVLKUGVN
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcdnvOmBVU
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OqgB7nNlU
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAd009yQUd
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk24ZaHkOCF
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfHxtrcC7I
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEGYMS7WAi
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5BTaxLtQp
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAwtSEnw8X
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHQPHtz8ys
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ4pUFYz0P
"I already did, thanks. 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJAmffyB57
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00SZarwJuU
to go back and prepare for the party."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65JCsGDZUV
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60cmWNRsxE
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbI4hxEuDk
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBQzv3XoEa
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVgK2TheAb
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8eJyzqpBR
Joy turned around and I 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCtAadBCae
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz593gj3GF
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzz2XniCul
she drew out the one she was looking for.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fxqcLymYU
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorE0TpkybQ
She gave me a red short 870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVbMFRV5Nu
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6cMyNZXsx
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI8IA3AeKS
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEAE9CgjSS
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BOGL7cg2j
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzijOrH3kpW
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1EqqQEY1f
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViFfyryub9
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0G3qwp9iN
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC77ceRmyYy
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYhuzeLhQM
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuQF8YDj22
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcEWFl219a
"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.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7LXxVoON4
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w2lhdI06H
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zprlu9zC7
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQnOsfSlCK
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhXoneVEq9
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLd8prAzez
"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?"870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzBirhcmvd
"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."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oFmlowTCb
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4I8Iftsid
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bAReInsC6
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbat26K2X2
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok7rwAvgUn
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.870Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTVt93RQ1B
