"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI4yrKEvXl
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf5tx2XN07
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsUpTvsHvE
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HA3qL1PSH
Collins laughed. "Are 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEu033TmGu
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUqGhOHpNg
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6QB7s5MOr
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.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8Ocip9rk0
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfW9g8tOec
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbTil9T6Q8
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."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznwNCvICCh
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3XfxultqJ
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tseIkJSkb
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2FfLrZlBF
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko2G1vEEuB
"Gosh, what to do with 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxEJ2AtkPj
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRDajhhI0l
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqzyiD6JGA
end up in a cell."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j9RK3haDl
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfatUFPAlY
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItYIijpNKB
"We promise," said Zoey.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mCns7kRB9
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3asA70xkk
"Well, that went well," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOgAij02Lk
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap8rpH1ohI
"There was nothing he 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIoaRGvI5s
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVhQMjegrS
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv953VTWTuu
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpRaywdBRh
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaAtAqLER9
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNJkGhp10k
The five of us all came 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZWmHGb36k
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49P0Fo2n3y
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD60fk5AFW
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vlRSwKgfI
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVu6wijLCE
"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."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0x4F4oeLM
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7qkXyaboC
"Okay, then sticking 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sk79DTY5M
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypQie55GGO
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifmPvJwzXf
To make our shopping 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6y6iT3Pk7
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk1mNCiO44
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0KP3g7ZQ2
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebiZgELRfF
the shelves when he wasn't looking.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34gQ6V8QQV
We even got red 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgfPsjZhyR
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZo6DwZ1pR
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiarSOLgHc
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnCDQMXAIK
though she seems not to show it sometimes.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4rmRcvkN1
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6vydqAwCz
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWdeeFthO
"Oh, I'm scared for 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNMQMtdKr8
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJkJNrknnK
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6J4gCGSgQ
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHosjp8eEf
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPN3ipQkQT
Mike did just that and 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoIV3OZLLN
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuC5dGUVdh
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXcQQmouUE
Christine came to me with red party hats.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKyYaD8Gmr
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel38erhXJC
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5octK9jhVk
"In case what?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH89flY2Kke
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7qH3kmu0X
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBrcUM0x5w
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvbutHJNFt
"Lee is calling," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1JQbuofxx
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu5RAA1gUx
"You guys just never 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkmSByG6XS
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1A09JKFD7
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4PTytyZbJ
you're throwing a party."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAMJ16e14P
"Ya, we are," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwXhHUeovE
"All I wanted was for 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29CRaFgOm
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UNw2WpOmL
party out of the blue because you wanted to."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI6uhqVICT
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykqrfudlgv
"Don't tell me, save if 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdGW7RayGO
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubSrqt8vyG
don't help, Collins might just fire me."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRM2JT8CyU
"You know he wouldn't." I915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66pxfFVfNs
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiusEozYN0L
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhCirPdFlR
beauty salon at all."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFJaWTn2Vp
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2XR1VVSZ5
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeUmC23hTi
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhVcEfipLj
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPW2cJTTtX
"Sure they can. It's not915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nLX1poz28
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCupfeyxsF9
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEp2nyqNoy
call them." 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN9zuTWNQ0
"Ya, you do that."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn9mZsPS6a
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskQuXAoJvd
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTslHUSt4A
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupBWZhbK2t
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9hjRj6Z6G
"Red? Why red?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHn3O5Xz9U
"Well, it's the theme for the party."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOorelOJK6u
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpFViwMgFr
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1np7V9iCt
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUp2DuYTnQ
"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."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFwlwtvvVa
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aARCbamYT
"Thanks, Lee."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom3wcZNIcO
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4shxHenZ1
Lee cut the line and I 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrNxZrX2fS
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oDrMYDp6q
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE25OjUwkl0
into them with the trolley.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9kUry4qIz
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQvWhMl3t
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n8BF7cujQ
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnoYVGPb8y
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ajit2KC7
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5oxna5Gk
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABZTIKHk9I
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbtlH1ERDc
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxQSn9EDf1
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1zRZua9Ho
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtg7b0wKb
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzuSTk1hOg
"Aren't we almost done 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4X8vw5yGZ
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkmOHttOWE
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqjxYMivKj
"I think we got all that915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7IeIZNrMc
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00pcKSrRlH
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWnho8ZM8Y
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCou2i87rF
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2JiTccXL4
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hzCoekbTM
"Did someone say cake?" 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUBIRmhUVk
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX4I6bXSvv
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ10Y1yKBKa
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!"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQKnlBF40b
"Okay, looks like I 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifEOzcu0sY
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBhqUjlBod
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8sNiTzdVX
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4e9pLr671
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fxde3dJG6
"No one knows," said 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSRbZ3XqAr
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxD07Ojbhl
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy4tF7T5GZ
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBquaqra20
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqpNdat7Xo
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlnpJbyshl
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq1FViXPjt
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl5nSBOMS5
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtM1vbwPT7
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNZeKuoVGH
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI2bBjFM1L
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSCfLKpf6i
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckYOzBvEAn
"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."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQyrh1RnCH
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlcPh5ojAf
We quickly went straight915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizNJMJm3x3
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xv61aB78l
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ924mmZk6
easily by passersby.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno1I0KjdKM
As soon as we were done 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHul0GgS6Y
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISLfrMzhfQ
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0aQbeC0kM
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs2cygqsVX
another.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhnrtI9Ggk
Surprisingly, as many 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVc1ZHIZof
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL61baIEktT
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZpboQIu8s
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlXSomwyJq
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CJVL9mxhk
to come out with were red shoes.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVjEyFERuS
"This is getting 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ocKWaX1EC
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw41f8jiQCq
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6PLBzzmZT
can't seem to find the right outfit."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJpzZ3jn1T
"Shouldn't we have just 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB7tJHZDI7
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUD8HaKU88
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrpBBj4x7r
"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.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnVQQdnqyV
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZRvSztB2F
"I feel so too," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEqNSPsrXK
"You know the offer is 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvQ3AMERlR
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIei2ATJG8
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5pIfrFdiN
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlila9fm29s
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSEYodk5QG
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N9qUuOI8M
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7085UsfW
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4usInEvgrf
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppToKgSYfh
"No, I'm calling Lee. 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YTe1Z1AIL
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAO8tTmVQg
phone began to ring at the under end.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHhOPLKBdi
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXTKj7O9wl
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CrakS1DPK
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP5qyKUd97
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTHSjVKmhM
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqoBOLzzdx
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYUXBiFRwf
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHadkjzVYwn
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnLlrfmJ7J
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBSu9gacKf
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckBzHoLWJB
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B6jdO67Ik
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Pwdtc59D
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfK3iYTgO0
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tR1yOv6Sn
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGuZFI36i9
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ulLiclWz4
"Well, lucky her," said 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCKKTN03an
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJnvibhUWv
like she found what she was looking for."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPnMN3qA2A
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXPs4hlPA8
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm96iZMOXb4
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SgVv28xrn
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT29OkyOeF
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQAC4Hr3y4
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj0DpFmSSE
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ89iTOWNeN
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eddOUceQH
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxLsbVmGac
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7yUTyZ30G
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX90u1EyHE9
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn45cQz7AMf
"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.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wStJ73mSm
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11VTt0fSBf
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHTbdPNDK
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBNPjbTk9t
I kept on looking in the915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf74mTHtrT
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgpIjnoIlR
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWWK1g6BzC
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj24OsVq7V
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjsRURAytU
"I like it," said 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeosm2M9jtu
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYuaFDdUkC
they are really going to match with your heels."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsmc3S7smm
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D8rVq3vAJ
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHDIlBbMnf
"I didn't ask for your 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzlTm8xBUq
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbm7rGnecv
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrapvFK0pCG
"But I bet she looked more prettier."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFxPLyzRhR
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGrOFWDg9U
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbMJFrgU2n
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLuLbWqrvW
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSCMAhBnPU
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3zzUE2egn
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rdXRagG7E
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERorqZvpEO
Christine ran off to the915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntMvX5Pee5
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuKNlKsA4V
her hand and back in her usual clothes.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDIo3IYTXA
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLRKHCwoy7
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tvcvhs6xu
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXd8aLymA
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkGP3y26el
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUVGE5a6o7
"I feel the last four 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCbmeYhaTo
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcSQNZkVwU
out a red top that didn't feel right still.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpwCzN2a1j
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSdjyvarev
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3PELoT7kh
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNROXygF5F1
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA5krupcXU
"True," said Zoey from the counter.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb9PQT9VKh
"You can do it well 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB8J6CcRgV
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM1soiP58y
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZO3QE0YU4
rack.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjC6BY6rg7
"And you don't have to 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJgGZzlyk3
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BxjIHqVXR
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIAK4FKG6
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F0ZuZgvc5
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4iBZ33JAE
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2KMowAR33
"Me neither," said Daniel.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ZUm4XJOT
"Well, now you know," said Lee.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvzzjtF9Qk
"Gosh, there is nothing 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQKkbup0WI
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagAK8klwEa
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdss0JvhIOA
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZBuJQvv58
"Let me go in the last aisle."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRi3qp9bSN
Just as I was about to 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSbYtZlN82
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWUlyTbRrk
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPt0XGMJ9N
backwards.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb7eQl65OK
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5U109Wzhu
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqiKgJQALv
"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.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKibdJgdJ6
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCorg61Nm9L
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5MvHyRhbW
I looked at the person 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU5PBYzXq7
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDIHBmcKMI
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmZrIjtlY
"Hey," said Zoey as she 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm3O8VZEfc
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRC8nowwTn
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX1C9dNqvr
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpLKRhrRXW
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVMHXdcpmQ
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xA8N5J0AO
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54ZQMZofbu
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ATTVo0AaK
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ9q1vzyAy
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU0irKgOkD
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqlfTuCQQQ
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvMjbdytRy
Immediately my two 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t9qHR1k4P
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmiAY8eElP
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeDbeh0V7P
Then all of the sudden, a915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQOalyCnao
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J3UX8YTUQ
was coming from. It was Christine.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaAgSvcIrT
She quickly covered her 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCMrvfKEpF
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBorD6OANoG
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQhwgEZw1e
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWiCogrK7n
"Spare her," said 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgRRndVtX9
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSBsUhVh9r
ourselves contained when we see famous people."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4isJh1nNmq
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJ6WWEStH
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hxAn6a4hL
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FKenfTOer
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamYpRFaFO
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplWaV1XBzl
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY9StjaNCt
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPMjFZQuK
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDGq723GCh
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3B13qbFTv
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAoVSOYW0P
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtpK8gDRAW
"I already did, thanks. 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3naFd5hXPD
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fiG2vWxdH
to go back and prepare for the party."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf3qq04Pih
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPywxkiHbeb
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8uVCiwTPf
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSyJLZnTWm
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZuMGsakXg
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu86mJpaR1Y
Joy turned around and I 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XXzXCNr77
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfguIXjxFf
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmkRnMFj4C
she drew out the one she was looking for.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHiqTRC1LS
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACQI29Dvif
She gave me a red short 915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH99cfAXEG
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25BQvu58kS
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSspsiYdpLM
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLtqBEq9QP
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBOxDOU2GX
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAl2q3fJLE
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUPdxK7LSC
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK0GdApfCG
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbrywIsWmo
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaeNrifmk4
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyupGhbtQD6
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMwpf1CZvI
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsATpDDatGY
"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.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9NzBCMULj
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT8ZvC977N
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohEqIzF8Ij
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjtrEq4YVm
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6gNYgXw8q
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U1vKEZnAJ
"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?"915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rVYzSbiOS
"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."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYkpB9X96J
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyARUFVI7O
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbitAAU4fHf
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eT62FkRx7
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPMWqXMSmE
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.915Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ3PWMNQDj
