Sam’s P.O.V: 333Please respect copyright.PENANAh6Ys7ZiMRQ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAUCKQ6n8SwD
333Please respect copyright.PENANAAER9971zTn
We were back at the café, where we had dumplings. It was the only place we could sit and talk, as there weren’t many people. Zoey, Mino, Lee, and I sat in one booth while the others sat in the next one. Mike and Daniel remained standing, watching what might unfold in front of them.333Please respect copyright.PENANA4rQBVofp5z
333Please respect copyright.PENANAHiHUenZ3qw
333Please respect copyright.PENANAiWoSumnPn0
Lee, in her aunt outfit, really looked like an angry one as she said, "You really have a lot of explaining to do, Zoey. What were you thinking about going over to that club? Do you really want Collins to hang all of us?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAWxGlgAbY7t
333Please respect copyright.PENANAa3OUQGYGfX
333Please respect copyright.PENANARKt3o9EKYS
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."333Please respect copyright.PENANA2IsHwXHUYR
333Please respect copyright.PENANA4mD5SpFMRk
333Please respect copyright.PENANAdpq7mpaBON
"Then why didn’t you tell us what you planned to do?" I asked. "And don’t tell me that you knew I was going to refuse."333Please respect copyright.PENANAdnUZwp6dhZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANATlRm9zteWq
333Please respect copyright.PENANAW8OWmKg4tD
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.333Please respect copyright.PENANAbPMAvYaDho
333Please respect copyright.PENANA1MOM0FzeJb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAU09bg0Ph9G
"You know very well that Collins told us not to get near him," I continued. I turn to Mino. "And were you really going to follow through with her plan?"333Please respect copyright.PENANA67bsW0aU9i
333Please respect copyright.PENANANRJI7OeCBO
333Please respect copyright.PENANAjbwHRbcP8q
Mino shook his head. "I did try to tell her that it wasn’t a good idea," he answered. "Now I wish I was a bit firm with her."333Please respect copyright.PENANAQso1x8jxd1
333Please respect copyright.PENANAEfA9Ve7InZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAodBYpLBRS9
I sighed. I had no reason to be mad at Mino. Zoey can be persuasive sometimes. Moreover, there’s no denying that he likes her a lot and would do anything to please her a little.333Please respect copyright.PENANAnFz6MtltS8
333Please respect copyright.PENANAoVu8aPLX5J
333Please respect copyright.PENANAgD9KFQ8bZ9
"Okay, now that we have Zoey," said Mike, "can we have some fun, like, for real? We can’t end this night with a sour mood, right?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAFq2zIoUMmd
333Please respect copyright.PENANAmXGV0VGTxh
333Please respect copyright.PENANAwvi1U2B7u1
"I agree," said Zoey. I quickly looked at her, and she covered her mouth. Right now, she has no right to suggest anything, not after what she did.333Please respect copyright.PENANAMCWMO4wj4N
333Please respect copyright.PENANAHAY6kjvCMb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAY7juABbp88
"Yeah, you can hang out if you want," said Lee as she leaned back on the seat. "I’ll go back to the car. This search for Zoey really got me so worked up that I need a breather."333Please respect copyright.PENANAczX1FZNjMP
333Please respect copyright.PENANAHSmqQohhVY
333Please respect copyright.PENANAw1QRCFT125
"What?" Christine came up from behind the booth, looking down at Lee. "I thought you wanted to try out those shoes that we saw earlier. And they are in your favorite color." 333Please respect copyright.PENANAK80Me879Qy
333Please respect copyright.PENANAhjla7ipTYu
333Please respect copyright.PENANAhUmplBV9Kg
"Yeah, come on, Lee," said Zoey. "Shopping isn’t fun without you. If you want, I’m going to accept any punishment you give me."333Please respect copyright.PENANAmEdJhKj50e
333Please respect copyright.PENANAgeSLMp08hb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAhpxmwKVs5v
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAIWhfokTSE2
333Please respect copyright.PENANAeUofzfFoGj
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIMhGGRT0Wo
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.333Please respect copyright.PENANAz0SMvj8fY4
333Please respect copyright.PENANAoJH7aurIhi
333Please respect copyright.PENANAX2KpQqFdhG
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.333Please respect copyright.PENANAihF5LImBA7
333Please respect copyright.PENANADAKJPhCtV5
333Please respect copyright.PENANA3TROXvUlk8
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."333Please respect copyright.PENANAfAXQftFdiw
333Please respect copyright.PENANAyxis7CEBA9
333Please respect copyright.PENANAaMKTJIVIEW
Zoey turned to look at me, and I shook my head, telling her that even I don’t know what Lee wants. It’s best she figures that out for herself.333Please respect copyright.PENANAG3KdIUIwAg
333Please respect copyright.PENANAaymsBRI6yc
333Please respect copyright.PENANAps4iCvzJot
"Come on, you guys," said Jungkook, who now came over by the booth. "We’re in Hongdae. We can’t let this opportunity slide. I can guarantee that we’re going to have a lot of fun."333Please respect copyright.PENANATl1RKoIKVN
333Please respect copyright.PENANA976IitzJ1x
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvID0jgv0I4
"Come on, Lee," said Christine. "Jungkook does have a point. Who knows if we will ever get to come back here with the busy schedule that we have? Let’s take advantage of the situation."333Please respect copyright.PENANAkRQw1s9J1a
333Please respect copyright.PENANADSz50II5Xr
333Please respect copyright.PENANADKwfbkReUa
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.333Please respect copyright.PENANAGPCH6Es9ig
333Please respect copyright.PENANAyn39ZG2wTS
333Please respect copyright.PENANAkkoqFKyq9v
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."333Please respect copyright.PENANArPyFlq9X9j
333Please respect copyright.PENANARlTu3iGcEy
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvk4uRqvFc6
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."333Please respect copyright.PENANA3zjpk5QXAe
333Please respect copyright.PENANA89Bd04UPhe
333Please respect copyright.PENANAMUf1buodFj
"I’m only doing this because Jimin, Jungkook, and Mino are here." Lee folded her arms as she looked the other way. "Don’t think you’re off the hook, Zoey."333Please respect copyright.PENANAf2L4gQ27TT
333Please respect copyright.PENANAXvgT3i2x61
333Please respect copyright.PENANAux8Wt3DzdM
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.333Please respect copyright.PENANA2W9vJrmCaI
333Please respect copyright.PENANA9cZdPE6l9a
333Please respect copyright.PENANAteAx9M92YG
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.333Please respect copyright.PENANAbNL2DexDzV
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5Xy4qLp05
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIGZxjAIqoQ
"We can start by buying ourselves another serving of dumplings," said Daniel as he licked his lips and started to make his way to the counter.333Please respect copyright.PENANAr1Zf9QVQ5s
333Please respect copyright.PENANAp6IOy0SDGc
333Please respect copyright.PENANA17CmyOgKZO
"Daniel, wait…" I called out to him. However, he was already at the counter. Christine apparently joined him. I shook my head. Something tells me that we might be carrying boxes of dumplings home once our stay in South Korea is over.333Please respect copyright.PENANAyXi8ib24RA
333Please respect copyright.PENANAdRif9Y2DQy
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvMJpqXHAB8
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.333Please respect copyright.PENANA0ybv1umqdh
333Please respect copyright.PENANAWci7Dg1wvj
333Please respect copyright.PENANAruuHxxSFL3
After we finished our dumplings, we had to walk a few blocks back to get the high-heeled shoes Lee wanted. Afterwards, we visited shops that sold traditional Korean outfits, which Zoey couldn’t help but admire. I remember telling myself when I first came here that I would get myself one. Therefore, I decided to look. Christine, Zoey, and Lee were so frantic about it that they also started to look at which Hanbok would look good on me giving their comments. I made a mental note not to tag them along when I get to look for my wedding dress in the future.333Please respect copyright.PENANALnTF7Y8nSO
333Please respect copyright.PENANAsQMhqK3WLe
333Please respect copyright.PENANARlmAiAWJgP
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.333Please respect copyright.PENANAuwyJsmZXCt
333Please respect copyright.PENANAaNaWh8J4vs
333Please respect copyright.PENANAcRZtWSWPe7
"Trust me, this is nothing," I said. "Whenever I want to try out something new, the three are always in the forefront of picking things instead of me."333Please respect copyright.PENANAOU9pAKBWOL
333Please respect copyright.PENANA3S37Mm7bG4
333Please respect copyright.PENANAyidkp7YMaB
"Yeah, and it’s annoying," said Mike, who was on the other side of the store going through the male section with Daniel and Mino.333Please respect copyright.PENANAiLDXPud4cH
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5OI6oLQJn1
333Please respect copyright.PENANAC4qieF13ER
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.333Please respect copyright.PENANA3ruaLMrtac
333Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ23e1V62V
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZoZt0D1b0c
"Nah, this time is fine since we've got such a busy schedule," I said. Before I could go to the next hanger of clothes, I stopped to look around. "Has anyone seen Jungkook?"333Please respect copyright.PENANACXFqLNQBrB
333Please respect copyright.PENANA8guuRFJdpZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAdWi7J4OMxj
The five of us who stayed close started to look around. Weird. He was behind Jimin a few seconds ago. He definitely hadn’t gone with Lee and the others. So where is he?333Please respect copyright.PENANA3xn1H9WQcx
333Please respect copyright.PENANApngy8gzQH0
333Please respect copyright.PENANAqOFxMzZx7t
"He’ll turn up," said Daniel. "Maybe he found something that he wanted to try on and is in the men’s room as we speak."333Please respect copyright.PENANAvC0q4tVi1r
333Please respect copyright.PENANAGckovHlS1y
333Please respect copyright.PENANAI0m43Ms6lm
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."333Please respect copyright.PENANAnQQO1ZSSxb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAjmrPW815sw
333Please respect copyright.PENANAultImMuI7U
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."333Please respect copyright.PENANAikaqtk0FYI
333Please respect copyright.PENANAHfiGtlzeuS
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJYVq4AsUEy
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."333Please respect copyright.PENANAOB9uEQdSe0
333Please respect copyright.PENANAESO0yftON6
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfNULTb21v9
Jimin and I turn in the direction of Jungkook’s voice. I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey rush to where he is. Don’t tell me he was also looking for something for me to wear.333Please respect copyright.PENANADk67BfHab6
333Please respect copyright.PENANAMC3XvD8tuS
333Please respect copyright.PENANAgC1Y10A0S7
I start to walk over to where Jungkook is, and Jimin happens to follow behind me. When I got close, I couldn’t help but see stars in the three women’s eyes as they looked at the Hanbok Jungkook picked out.333Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZbuisLDC3
333Please respect copyright.PENANAnxyW3aZHzn
333Please respect copyright.PENANAlnem5iuGw2
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."333Please respect copyright.PENANAqLwYoNTfH6
333Please respect copyright.PENANAtgO0qf6BXp
333Please respect copyright.PENANAh4xv0nGPFS
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.333Please respect copyright.PENANABeInPuyWvB
333Please respect copyright.PENANAHNCN2ztLKy
333Please respect copyright.PENANA7b2nPvtM77
The Hanbok he picked was a white blouse and purple skirt. The skirt is beautifully designed with pleats and waist strings. At the bottom of the hem, there were beautiful flower patterns. I had to admit that Jungkook picked a pretty Hanbok.333Please respect copyright.PENANADIQXxlMD60
333Please respect copyright.PENANAGckLvfkuWa
333Please respect copyright.PENANADcyrEhduv0
"It looks lovely," I commented.333Please respect copyright.PENANA1fpl9wOwk1
333Please respect copyright.PENANAa3Zj9rqlyz
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5K3XzCopyB
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.333Please respect copyright.PENANA19B4K62KXI
333Please respect copyright.PENANACMajuQpvGP
333Please respect copyright.PENANAQrLVPNtLFx
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.333Please respect copyright.PENANA42QQ1KmSfN
333Please respect copyright.PENANAKA6pctU6QQ
333Please respect copyright.PENANA60rWVrn4Iy
"I’ll help you put the blouse on," said Lee. "It can get a little complicated when you’re trying it out for the first time."333Please respect copyright.PENANAyqV3ml9Y8u
333Please respect copyright.PENANABFX5fExD9U
333Please respect copyright.PENANAbkxEVsXnQa
"Yeah, I will need the help."333Please respect copyright.PENANAkdZhVKSxrJ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAn4ZjYfLibV
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZuE0NLdqFz
Jungkook handed the dress to me, and I followed Lee to the changing rooms. I could hear Zoey and Christine giggle as I walked away, and I knew they were obviously talking about the outfit that Jungkook so happened to pick out.333Please respect copyright.PENANAwE3Fvv3foZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANA3id45k70jq
333Please respect copyright.PENANA77XalhVq2p
Lee and I came to the women’s dressing rooms and entered one of the empty stalls. It felt so good to take the hoodie and mask off. In addition, when I started to change into the Hanbok, I couldn’t help but notice just how comfortable it felt. After Lee tied the strings of the skirt behind my back, I turned to look at the full-length mirror. I can’t believe that I’m actually wearing a Hanbok.333Please respect copyright.PENANACd5HXdUmEZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAR5OdOIglMZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAynTFLeQpTD
"Oh, you look so pretty," said Lee as she stood behind me. She glanced at me in the mirror as if I were some gorgeous doll she had dressed up. "Your mum will think you’re adorable once I send her a picture."333Please respect copyright.PENANA0EtXBTFX1m
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvkkUcQSL6d
333Please respect copyright.PENANANsu44IMlTw
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.333Please respect copyright.PENANA2Il3t0yGBX
333Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ksoVyx84
333Please respect copyright.PENANA6r90tZpZSA
"What?" Lee asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "It’s not my fault that you look pretty. Come on, the others are waiting to see you."333Please respect copyright.PENANARC3euqwQYz
333Please respect copyright.PENANA9h1bWxZbgx
333Please respect copyright.PENANASWd9BvEEd0
"Oh, before I go out..." I turned around to where I lay aside my clothes to look for the mask. However, Lee took hold of my shoulders to lead me out of the changing room.333Please respect copyright.PENANAizBtxbjarE
333Please respect copyright.PENANAkSMkYM9az5
333Please respect copyright.PENANAyAQaELrgI1
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."333Please respect copyright.PENANAXEdUWzEo5F
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1kkkjcuRv
333Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ1qLd7n5z
Lee opened the door and led me out of the room. As expected, we found the others waiting outside the changing rooms. Christine and Zoey jumped with excitement as I appeared before them.333Please respect copyright.PENANAdt3wMOcPWe
333Please respect copyright.PENANAwTw4Hcv0vq
333Please respect copyright.PENANA2529gSvzVb
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."333Please respect copyright.PENANAZ77l6CEIlV
333Please respect copyright.PENANASmYWTqGmhu
333Please respect copyright.PENANAKJVWT6scPv
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.333Please respect copyright.PENANA8JAZ2jWWl6
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIQE6Jfdr8O
333Please respect copyright.PENANAWzIoX5ba5c
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."333Please respect copyright.PENANAz5gmo4ryOu
333Please respect copyright.PENANALOL7lRyweO
333Please respect copyright.PENANAnV9jkxONFV
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.333Please respect copyright.PENANATJQNcptRDs
333Please respect copyright.PENANATKvYgBHbg0
333Please respect copyright.PENANAo7UBCR9bR5
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.333Please respect copyright.PENANAVCOLhUAJpF
333Please respect copyright.PENANAw87NQQq7Cp
333Please respect copyright.PENANALzeei3IJHq
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."333Please respect copyright.PENANAkwzPNAchXo
333Please respect copyright.PENANAWoUyGgk6Eu
333Please respect copyright.PENANAtyjOMkmRAZ
"You can say that again," said Mino as he smiled at me. "Once your fans see you, you’ll be the talk of the town."333Please respect copyright.PENANAQkVPBYnrW7
333Please respect copyright.PENANA2KA94ravHP
333Please respect copyright.PENANAjBFHlHTJ0r
"Yeah, I know that," I said. "Please don’t post the pictures you’ve taken so soon. I don’t want people to know right away that I’m here."333Please respect copyright.PENANAukcGu5ma4S
333Please respect copyright.PENANA7F4qsODurL
333Please respect copyright.PENANAP181ikeJ7V
"Don’t worry," said Christine. "The last thing we need is for us to do what Zoey did when she filmed you with G-Dragon and the video went viral."333Please respect copyright.PENANARccPdEhlEZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANA3ipLpqfRgP
333Please respect copyright.PENANAkCpciNM973
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.333Please respect copyright.PENANAhLZGLhiJHX
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIxe7qLhIOV
333Please respect copyright.PENANAk7foXQDzeY
Zoey folded her arms. "Yes," she answered, looking rather annoyed at Christine for bringing it up. "But I didn’t mean harm, and I did say I was never going to do that again."333Please respect copyright.PENANAbnZHEr9z39
333Please respect copyright.PENANAEaPSSI82Y3
333Please respect copyright.PENANAztldkDayYv
I saw Daniel, Mike, and Christine give Zoey a look, and I knew what they were thinking. It’s funny how Zoey could’ve remembered that. She usually doesn't, and there are times when you have to remind her. Anyway, it hasn't been too long since the incident happened.333Please respect copyright.PENANANSdzaHDovR
333Please respect copyright.PENANASC47P4YiET
333Please respect copyright.PENANAB465PWz5fe
"Smile here for the camera," said Jimin as he also had his phone out to take a picture. "You really did good choosing this Hanbok for her, Jungkook."333Please respect copyright.PENANAHmtqSFAXXK
333Please respect copyright.PENANAo7Nmw9aXVE
333Please respect copyright.PENANAW6exkVBumY
All Jungkook could do was smile under that facemask of his, which wasn’t hard to notice; just like everyone else, he was looking at me. The look in his eyes showed that he was proud of himself for picking out the Hanbok.333Please respect copyright.PENANA28JiH97r8X
333Please respect copyright.PENANAm2rRsZP5Ab
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5mZdKUITIa
"Thanks so much for picking this outfit for me, Jungkook," I said. "It’s really lovely. Not to mention that I just love the color purple."333Please respect copyright.PENANAUw2h3wqBB7
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJTimfdK7T5
333Please respect copyright.PENANAmYI28hzRKP
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."333Please respect copyright.PENANAFO68GADKLY
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ7vK8On6m
333Please respect copyright.PENANAsYIOmiAB0Q
I blushed, and for some reason, I thought of quickly turning away, especially when Christine and Zoey nudged at each other. I wish I could hit them on the head to stop them from mocking me.333Please respect copyright.PENANAfHTRrv2zdL
333Please respect copyright.PENANAByEj022p5X
333Please respect copyright.PENANAPlCmnehfGc
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.333Please respect copyright.PENANAF9hXUfL4XY
333Please respect copyright.PENANADYLKqF3GZZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAq4EuEVyWAu
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."333Please respect copyright.PENANArRxB556nFI
333Please respect copyright.PENANADPSsYZeTGb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAgBzx43NkFm
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAu5JUO0CjBK
333Please respect copyright.PENANAPMXJ1jMQbL
333Please respect copyright.PENANAcyMqmxsr7L
Zoey and Christine replied no. As though they were photographers, they quickly took pictures. Others thought of taking photos with me still dressed in the Hanbok. Each person took a picture with me. Then we all took a photo together, with Mino being the one holding the camera and taking the selfie with everyone behind him.333Please respect copyright.PENANA5bBTxzU4se
333Please respect copyright.PENANAEaksxRg4uq
333Please respect copyright.PENANAExNEeS775w
Afterwards, I went to change back into my clothes, with Lee helping me out again. When we came out of the changing room, we found that the others had dispersed to different parts of the store. I heard Zoey and Christine talking over which traditional attire to choose from.333Please respect copyright.PENANAApGBD30F5v
333Please respect copyright.PENANAGCNNe6ig95
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIlAGIgCWB6
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.333Please respect copyright.PENANAzc11TZsXc0
333Please respect copyright.PENANAyrOHztFzW8
333Please respect copyright.PENANAseQglQndyV
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.333Please respect copyright.PENANAtg5AQ8YW6t
333Please respect copyright.PENANA8f87kWjpXs
333Please respect copyright.PENANAqB9GpgjXc0
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."333Please respect copyright.PENANAhuOi3Qycq2
333Please respect copyright.PENANA78YBXjq744
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5UHsGzKiGR
I would’ve agreed with her, but that sent me blushing somehow. It was sweet of Jungkook to find me such a pretty Hanbok. I just wish Zoey and Christine wouldn't mock me about it.333Please respect copyright.PENANAgtY5GJnEax
333Please respect copyright.PENANAu8XKQFd310
333Please respect copyright.PENANAhA7GNL0BcU
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.333Please respect copyright.PENANAE9osCAJQXS
333Please respect copyright.PENANA4DkkH8IYNV
333Please respect copyright.PENANAju3U5Yj47j
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.333Please respect copyright.PENANAnH94Q9StPx
333Please respect copyright.PENANAP70UGcaw3o
333Please respect copyright.PENANAWL7ug1kkh7
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."333Please respect copyright.PENANAG0wIaquWKW
333Please respect copyright.PENANAt5rIDIuIvi
333Please respect copyright.PENANAuK55lFeip7
"Point taken," I said.333Please respect copyright.PENANAH8bqLiSEkD
333Please respect copyright.PENANAv5sW4SqKj5
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvyQcxVP2DH
When we got to the counter and paid for the Hanbok, the rest of the others joined us. I started to look around for Christine and Zoey, but they were nowhere near the female clothes section. Did they find outfits and decide to go try them?333Please respect copyright.PENANAe2AYFSH48X

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.333Please respect copyright.PENANAEOTAW1V3Cl
333Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xe46XWCUB
333Please respect copyright.PENANAU46FsWE1Ng
"To be honest, I never thought of it," I said as I looked at the Hanbok, now packed in a black garment bag. "Maybe I should."333Please respect copyright.PENANAl0wbNUFb8Q
333Please respect copyright.PENANAShr9OfVpXX
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5FRlRCbBD4
A woman by the counter said, "There are some shoes that you can look at. I suggest you get the white ones to match the dress."333Please respect copyright.PENANAXsE1OpibFK
333Please respect copyright.PENANA2534RwJoRQ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAC4FhBCm1FO
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.333Please respect copyright.PENANAnqX87wXGZp
333Please respect copyright.PENANAitebllLt7R
333Please respect copyright.PENANAftUpnOfaRs
I gave him a nod of my head, and we went over to the shoe section, not far from the counter. Jimin and Mino had nothing to do, so they joined us. Mike and Daniel decided to look around a little.333Please respect copyright.PENANAqMJfHdHCMa
333Please respect copyright.PENANAeXlQeMkbLD
333Please respect copyright.PENANANZ15qKpWea
With Jimin and Mino around, I discovered there were three types of women’s shoes that could go with a Hanbok. Kkotshin, which are silk shoes with flowery embroidery. Unhye are low-cut silk shoes decorated with cloud-shaped silk pieces. Then there are dinghy, which are low-cut leather shoes with scroll patterns. There were all pretty shoes, which made it difficult to pick. Even with the others’ help, they were having a hard time choosing. I noticed how much time had passed while looking for a pair of shoes and how long Lee had been gone to look for the girls.333Please respect copyright.PENANA3TD25P2N5v
333Please respect copyright.PENANAGGqRD4qSFB
333Please respect copyright.PENANAg9cwHiYaAJ
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.333Please respect copyright.PENANAvx253rDPDl
333Please respect copyright.PENANA2y6FuIZNZo
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfT8tHLgawA
The others didn’t seem to hear me, as Jimin said that he might have found a shoe for me. Mino and Jungkook joined him to see what he had picked. He picked white kkotshin shoes.333Please respect copyright.PENANA1CgegVs1WP
333Please respect copyright.PENANA10D4fVor9B
333Please respect copyright.PENANAde5gwQMwik
"This will look great on you," said Mino. He checked the shoe size underneath it. "And it’s just your size. You should try it on."333Please respect copyright.PENANAaU2ZictXnO
333Please respect copyright.PENANAqbXYZHGhgJ
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvM5ADZvYM5
I took my shoes off and put the white kkotshins on. They fit perfectly, and the gold flower embroidery on the shoes added a nice touch. It will suit the dress very well.333Please respect copyright.PENANAXTwg7uaU3K
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZwqqhaA16r
333Please respect copyright.PENANAbzh5tKpF1U
After removing the shoes and wearing my shoes again, I notice Mino looking around as though looking for something. He must be looking for Zoey and the others.333Please respect copyright.PENANA2lzfthNdDD
333Please respect copyright.PENANAPDtHBMtyrS
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfnxFdlkkTu
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.333Please respect copyright.PENANAKTYHZATK6Q
333Please respect copyright.PENANA5JnKPgfpOr
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJKYoPN2B8m

Mino and Jungkook decided to come with me. Jimin said he would wait by the counter. We first went to the changing rooms. The two men waited outside while I went in. There were four changing rooms, two on either side. Three rooms were occupied, while one remained empty. I decided to call out to see if Zoey was here.333Please respect copyright.PENANAvWoYXtznWa
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfJofT16ODX
333Please respect copyright.PENANATkL99kkMvZ
"Zoey, are you here?" I called.333Please respect copyright.PENANAI6fxx4iip0
333Please respect copyright.PENANAPydOFda9fY
333Please respect copyright.PENANAlknJpRmnDn
I didn’t get a response until I heard someone muttering; it sounded like Zoey. Likewise, I walked over to the door of the changing room, where I was hearing the noise, and knocked on the door.333Please respect copyright.PENANAXLA1X3GYvk
333Please respect copyright.PENANAKvsF34Eq74
333Please respect copyright.PENANAJlJvVXxmba

"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."333Please respect copyright.PENANAXfB4SH1Or3
333Please respect copyright.PENANAFLPKTChOzI
333Please respect copyright.PENANAV8bfIzetcG
I rolled my eyes as I opened the door. For sure, I found Zoey struggling to get the blouse off. I helped her wear it again before properly removing it for her.333Please respect copyright.PENANAzsS0YFxmlF

333Please respect copyright.PENANAj7qC0ILA53
333Please respect copyright.PENANAbL0p9hD28c
Strange. Where are the two of them now? I told Zoey that she would find me outside the changing room. I walk out, and not only do I find Mino and Jungkook, but Lee as well.333Please respect copyright.PENANAMWcjLpmrYP

"No," Lee answered. "I checked the women’s room, and I made one more sweep around the shop, but nothing. She’s not here."333Please respect copyright.PENANAwwYdhcxeTu
333Please respect copyright.PENANAZKkCAIRAQe

333Please respect copyright.PENANAgynkCEy0g6
333Please respect copyright.PENANA36BaERpa2e

333Please respect copyright.PENANAcznacYFXLU
333Please respect copyright.PENANA8R7xZ0RwKE
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."333Please respect copyright.PENANA6qdXKVMP2s
333Please respect copyright.PENANANqlPwZrJ07
333Please respect copyright.PENANAU2uPPP56mc
"Great. Zoey goes out to find Johnny, and now we have to deal with Christine going missing," said Mike. "Where has she gone?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAjjLmRDPslC
333Please respect copyright.PENANA7dQGsv1TYe
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIivJHxzALD

333Please respect copyright.PENANAoknifbdomg

333Please respect copyright.PENANA142H2IpKgk
333Please respect copyright.PENANA685BMRjIF6

333Please respect copyright.PENANAemyTZuvfcL
Zoey rushed out of the changing rooms. She comes to stand beside me with the white and pink Hanbok in hand.333Please respect copyright.PENANAF5K9YENxIa
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvOCenYRfHV
333Please respect copyright.PENANAcmmZXww7M4

333Please respect copyright.PENANAtPF3rmmD1R
333Please respect copyright.PENANAKoEvqtoqEC
"She still isn’t picking up her phone," said Lee, now with a worried look on her face. "It’s not like her not to answer her phone."333Please respect copyright.PENANAqw6wLkz3kN
333Please respect copyright.PENANAempagySDvp
333Please respect copyright.PENANAAGjo1jCGJL
"Do you think Johnny found her, and she had to run?" Zoey asked.333Please respect copyright.PENANAj4AMFVL9Zq
333Please respect copyright.PENANAPrkgc7pC30
333Please respect copyright.PENANAym6A25HsRy
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?333Please respect copyright.PENANAAAgZMG4jk4
333Please respect copyright.PENANASr5OvdAe4p
333Please respect copyright.PENANAvyedbqclCt
"Now you’re being paranoid," said Mino. "We all know where he went, and Hongdae is a big place. How can he have found Christine out of the blue?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAFSiizMK4ks
333Please respect copyright.PENANAsFWmOqa57G
333Please respect copyright.PENANAi2w6n0wp0t

333Please respect copyright.PENANAoKJXH0IR5S
333Please respect copyright.PENANAH5RmtWJX7p
"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."333Please respect copyright.PENANA9tg5Jo3LEh
333Please respect copyright.PENANABGCVnmh2hi
333Please respect copyright.PENANAsw9JtbglC1

333Please respect copyright.PENANAVKJkn9JN4p
333Please respect copyright.PENANA1q45Itbxqh
"Usually I wouldn’t. But she doesn’t know the area really well, so yeah, I would be worried."333Please respect copyright.PENANA6TiFeIABHx
333Please respect copyright.PENANAjhq0Kdfjgm
333Please respect copyright.PENANAAskjwDblzq
"I just hope she is okay," I said. "Let’s go back to the dumpling shop, like Daniel suggested. If we’re lucky, then we’ll find her there."333Please respect copyright.PENANAfgluR1swfm
333Please respect copyright.PENANATt1Tph01Vh
333Please respect copyright.PENANAfYGEL9oHsc
Everyone agreed, and we joined Jimin at the counter, who had already paid for my shoes. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted that it was the least he could do. Zoey decided to pay for the Hanbok she had picked. When Jimin asked Zoey if she was going to get some matching shoes too, she said she would come by later when we found Christine.333Please respect copyright.PENANAAVjBb4Gw9m
333Please respect copyright.PENANAh4UihcbG7u
333Please respect copyright.PENANAQpvdwFQGfm
After leaving the clothing store, we started to make our way back to the dumpling shop. I really do hope we find her.333Please respect copyright.PENANAM8M3y1b46t

333Please respect copyright.PENANAaEiTNx0NoC
333Please respect copyright.PENANA155oVSrXeo
I was walking down the crowded Hongdae Street, thinking to myself, Sam and the others are going to murder me for abandoning them like that. My phone had beeped for a second time, and I found Lee was calling again. I can’t pick up and tell her where I am going. She would tell the others, and they would definitely come after me. I do hope they don’t worry about me too much. After the stunt Zoey pulled, my disappearing act might just put them on edge.333Please respect copyright.PENANAkB0ZoNKaRe
333Please respect copyright.PENANAQWDTKzqats
333Please respect copyright.PENANAWSZPJ6pGIf
Then why am I out here?333Please respect copyright.PENANAQQP6n7urfx
333Please respect copyright.PENANAsI9TZUFKvR
333Please respect copyright.PENANArpHAeF4iRo
Simple, really. While I was helping dress Zoey into the Hanbok, I received a text from Jinwoo. I told Zoey that I would be right back and texted him back. He was asking where I was, and I told him about Hongdae Street and finding Zoey. It so happens that he was also around the area and wanted us to meet. I didn’t want to tell anyone, for they might make fun of me, and that’s why I left like I did.333Please respect copyright.PENANAM5wEVOT3G8
333Please respect copyright.PENANAXaKpqfRluG
333Please respect copyright.PENANAz71a9pXgAm
Jinwoo gave me directions to where he was, and I noticed that the place had many restaurants and small outdoor eating venues. I don’t know why, but meeting him made me feel a little nervous and excited at the same time. It isn’t normal, is it?333Please respect copyright.PENANA3mej2eu0rM
333Please respect copyright.PENANAnE1rVFOgX2
333Please respect copyright.PENANAn8Lh1pWzkO
I finally arrived at the outdoor restaurant. The brightly lit bulbs that lit the place and the green leaf decoration that acted as a roof above the restaurant made it look spontaneous. It didn’t take long to spot Jinwoo sitting on the table in the middle of the restaurant. There weren’t many people around, so he easily noticed me as well. He stood up from his chair as I walked over.333Please respect copyright.PENANAHXi3NnAhD8
333Please respect copyright.PENANAB88076RpVN
333Please respect copyright.PENANA4sF4JK9m7L
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"333Please respect copyright.PENANA2bRndnbrpG
333Please respect copyright.PENANAHdTdUa9enZ
333Please respect copyright.PENANA10G1zAPf1N
"No, not all," he said as he pulled out the wooden chair for me.333Please respect copyright.PENANA9ouwP1197H
333Please respect copyright.PENANAPQBPqNCcRN
333Please respect copyright.PENANAKP5to1O4ef
I sat down, and he went over to take his seat. We sat facing each other, and I couldn’t help but blush. I still wore the disguise, and I’m surprised that Jinwoo recognized me. He also wore a black mask covering the lower part of his face, and I can’t help but notice the blue jean jacket and black shirt that he wore with matching black jeans and white canvas shoes. He looked so cool. Why am I blushing so much?333Please respect copyright.PENANAN2vBBpdnKm
333Please respect copyright.PENANArxHebqXKQG
333Please respect copyright.PENANAL9UOXARIyE
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.333Please respect copyright.PENANAv4eSzG75hx
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIjv9JvnKhb
333Please respect copyright.PENANAiv3oxE5DJ4
"Nah." I playfully shook my head. "They will be fine. I bet they think I went over to the dumpling shop and will be back soon."333Please respect copyright.PENANAOlS5LOX8HY
333Please respect copyright.PENANAOASDxAEa4D
333Please respect copyright.PENANAig9GfaKylq
"Anyway," said Jinwoo as he picked up the menu on the table. "Let’s order before it gets too late. There’s a special Korean cuisine that I would like for you to try out. Will that be fine?"333Please respect copyright.PENANAJfwm1fFGQB
333Please respect copyright.PENANAkk3WRBz66k
333Please respect copyright.PENANAFSqkh60Trf
"Ah." I was caught absentminded for a bit, as I couldn’t stop staring at Jinwoo. When he asked, his eyes found mine staring at him, and I felt like hiding under the table in embarrassment. I cleared my throat to answer. "Yeah, sure."333Please respect copyright.PENANA3IAU4VLRgM
333Please respect copyright.PENANA4kBTNfJyh7
333Please respect copyright.PENANA71vSl1nopr
I could tell Jinwoo was smiling at me under that mask. He turned to look for the waiter nearby. There was one behind him, and he called out for his attention. The waiter came over, and he talked politely in Korean as Jinwoo made the order.333Please respect copyright.PENANArfuTz48iLN
333Please respect copyright.PENANAIKbaQecxDI
333Please respect copyright.PENANAMKfj3WTtBF
With all that is going on, I couldn’t help but blush so much, and my heart beat fast with each dying minute. This whole thing felt more like a date. Is it? I don’t think so, but I wonder what Jinwoo thinks of this. Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Gosh, I swallowed as I tried to prevent a squeal from leaving my mouth.333Please respect copyright.PENANAbKEuf8RaKE
