Sam’s P.O.V: 310Please respect copyright.PENANAN9v64320ha
310Please respect copyright.PENANAG5WBcH4GJM
310Please respect copyright.PENANAktRZ6ldUcl
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAz9XUX8F5v0
310Please respect copyright.PENANAfUBjnmEzeZ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdlYBRlQjYp
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?"310Please respect copyright.PENANA0pEcNWV36m
310Please respect copyright.PENANAG03OzRlM4O
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwUG4Zaq9zb
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."310Please respect copyright.PENANAI5RBvWtOhl
310Please respect copyright.PENANAMZwrz510Ga
310Please respect copyright.PENANAA6uepNWNMv
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAwUH0DeN6wI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHC9RJnfrqb
310Please respect copyright.PENANA0SCToo2hHH
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.310Please respect copyright.PENANAWMFcvp1gNs
310Please respect copyright.PENANAc6wYA1y2Si
310Please respect copyright.PENANAw7L5ywiFG4
"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?"310Please respect copyright.PENANAqWstlqrZmw
310Please respect copyright.PENANACaxOl06lTB
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhw1OFhLck3
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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAo5mPM42Avn
310Please respect copyright.PENANAnaBMbUfmss
310Please respect copyright.PENANA02eLL6stzw
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAYKjvK8rnuy
310Please respect copyright.PENANANdhVKrbj1I
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZHjTTuV5hJ
"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?"310Please respect copyright.PENANAOjQcSFMgT6
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGrasVXbIKC
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOLUap7CtTU
"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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAKsGxNuMxdk
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXF4lk4V9JA
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwu2NYkCGYx
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAxgdvonb6n8
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4im2WbfX9
310Please respect copyright.PENANAc817IXZkfc
"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." 310Please respect copyright.PENANA4KUsHAcstE
310Please respect copyright.PENANACGizEr3fUg
310Please respect copyright.PENANAMRnBL0bVhW
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAOK14fGFupK
310Please respect copyright.PENANAjQCn7rWyXr
310Please respect copyright.PENANAtO6nThtVTq
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"310Please respect copyright.PENANAsUZK4Ze80k
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ii8yQkfRu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHFlZYF1WDR
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.310Please respect copyright.PENANAUzt2xu7yhj
310Please respect copyright.PENANAo1j6XXEmXG
310Please respect copyright.PENANAT56hAj2ver
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.310Please respect copyright.PENANAozwGarnQhu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAtLAeFHyirx
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwFhG0JNn7U
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."310Please respect copyright.PENANALAOVg65XK5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyV0XgGIz1A
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5jnSLtCEoa
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAWWptyXasfN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsDGyuMUEiq
310Please respect copyright.PENANA56DByDqEOA
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANA59uc16uaPP
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2QbsHP4TWS
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzFVhk9opKc
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAcTq3VKjWIN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdGcX2MIe8Z
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9GDMP00r8X
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.310Please respect copyright.PENANAXY0GzoHWPT
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwUxY6gyCPg
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIq2o3tEBLf
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."310Please respect copyright.PENANANzkksO2VpR
310Please respect copyright.PENANAc7JcT8sQbt
310Please respect copyright.PENANAULBRaRJ5gt
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."310Please respect copyright.PENANAACoqYGk5W1
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2JG64vNKQu
310Please respect copyright.PENANABZ1fkNjcin
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANA4IXod8RRZR
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQfur1Iejpr
310Please respect copyright.PENANARKCFg0JoYd
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.310Please respect copyright.PENANAmeyfmVUeoK
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8m2c4yhwBq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4poIh074J
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.310Please respect copyright.PENANAT10bUqYLQ4
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkRin7Nm3CC
310Please respect copyright.PENANAM6lIfoNjVa
"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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAikDq5ssHiD
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmWzqzrWDft
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5EQINulgiA
"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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAdkn9HiXdVF
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyJEM5OuYtw
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8LFj2Qfnij
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.310Please respect copyright.PENANAR2Ld7dOPyF
310Please respect copyright.PENANAO55UcrjZ2j
310Please respect copyright.PENANACg4YXbsRCg
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANACG3KvrpP2T
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyyGo76K4K4
310Please respect copyright.PENANAINF7qIr4k1
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.310Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y3kjS2ecE
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWpLgzTA68y
310Please respect copyright.PENANAV6eLgcel3B
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANANq1jZA791z
310Please respect copyright.PENANATwcMAoPFGz
310Please respect copyright.PENANAi6LFgJPC80
"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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAPS8BHm3Kbo
310Please respect copyright.PENANACjwXlpcGZS
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHjsTzsQCRT
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.310Please respect copyright.PENANAOzNst8CbN7
310Please respect copyright.PENANAn6a7LDoCyT
310Please respect copyright.PENANAgYJxh6TYET
"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?"310Please respect copyright.PENANA2p1PFSXUP5
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5SLLptw9Wo
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvhntL97l1w
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?310Please respect copyright.PENANAGq2b5ZujQY
310Please respect copyright.PENANA09k3Klnitz
310Please respect copyright.PENANAf0RjG466EV
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAW1TvwDynoq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsqnvoK7m2N
310Please respect copyright.PENANAm7hqiH5eE7
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."310Please respect copyright.PENANAGFaHH4l3ch
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEJqQ7G3UMo
310Please respect copyright.PENANAMBdaEGWHuq
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."310Please respect copyright.PENANAoHttZhgfvE
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYFRHg9qFFm
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9Uj0cRDtf0
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."310Please respect copyright.PENANAhyt3M8kosA
310Please respect copyright.PENANAepdQxCaGUt
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUcR2AqMK9M
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAoXxhA5ltTo
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQGdQ03qBqr
310Please respect copyright.PENANA3VENLILQJW
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAHKc3mET69B
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyIVmJmKC1r
310Please respect copyright.PENANATwBYxe9Quy
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."310Please respect copyright.PENANA4o1lb5Pf1D
310Please respect copyright.PENANARR9ck24V5u
310Please respect copyright.PENANAs6DXKYkUPd
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.310Please respect copyright.PENANAa6xEPMeuiX
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwjUdM29qlg
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIPUuAXYgoJ
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA67W2QrA1Yu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAgAkC5FNnOE
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmHCwgtg3DR
"It looks lovely," I commented.310Please respect copyright.PENANAgMCewlwm2l
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEjC5G2VzGf
310Please respect copyright.PENANAMLhPOcCvDc
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.310Please respect copyright.PENANA9Y5dtgJ8iV
310Please respect copyright.PENANADM5srz4V3I
310Please respect copyright.PENANA96HMMDbDMh
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.310Please respect copyright.PENANAUEPUItiU7y
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzFxG4YLwV2
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6EYnlKyvBb
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAuTAULw8zTE
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFLyLEbuQCm
310Please respect copyright.PENANADotaSxFKdZ
"Yeah, I will need the help."310Please respect copyright.PENANAAuhfpAQvDy
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqqGqhpCkDa
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdbPhibH9yX
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA1wywp44cAi
310Please respect copyright.PENANAu0zguAgKlx
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFoTa8u8NBA
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANADK13axy1Hd
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPhbCNl1GUT
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXEP4e8mAUj
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAbShiLTX60P
310Please respect copyright.PENANA27bGZeOgYA
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ahj9yxn5u
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.310Please respect copyright.PENANAyybhR8P5ug
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJF8HYk6KDq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAb8izSahlEn
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANARR818qaHKk
310Please respect copyright.PENANAu6xHSu8HgD
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIT6eXQ614k
"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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAbB2bQpI38i
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWrmG4l0B43
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqO1HGOa84L
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."310Please respect copyright.PENANAcWYaHj9X9F
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKhsQtWQ4ee
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXZ0PYCVfJQ
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ258TP3X4
310Please respect copyright.PENANA9hHb1B3jsu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhrSx7HNNF5
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."310Please respect copyright.PENANAvVkNcG52o1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ7Gnsx53B
310Please respect copyright.PENANAX8Qh3mVXcg
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.310Please respect copyright.PENANAz9QW0umntX
310Please respect copyright.PENANApgCSTR6jjB
310Please respect copyright.PENANAP3mqNgXvCG
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."310Please respect copyright.PENANAfaZfbLRRxp
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkT69zimWsV
310Please respect copyright.PENANAA1MGYCOhud
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.310Please respect copyright.PENANAgHcZRYEYuN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmVaQ9kh4Dc
310Please respect copyright.PENANA5FKi1vcNbv
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.310Please respect copyright.PENANAXR06Rt0yfn
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbWwYh3mDNj
310Please respect copyright.PENANAVdpHXlfntl
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."310Please respect copyright.PENANAy70QSFTofK
310Please respect copyright.PENANAvQjnq9sFsK
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUQEFTSnhAt
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANA3y3yLZLtqu
310Please respect copyright.PENANABnzfisdW4v
310Please respect copyright.PENANAchdhKirbm6
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANA2xaKYqczud
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFJUOmPDJMN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYywBg2Ydxf
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANADCg0FwBkjo
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzLoYbVh917
310Please respect copyright.PENANAOgL1ubebMW
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.310Please respect copyright.PENANAKaDcPkihsm
310Please respect copyright.PENANAADu1srqkfP
310Please respect copyright.PENANANsZPRFNrRP
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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAr07ro76I5M
310Please respect copyright.PENANABhMY3JSmBs
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6WvbSFyJlL
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAftIPgoOJtR
310Please respect copyright.PENANA2EYfh0kvyu
310Please respect copyright.PENANAu5w5aXo9Ug
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAYgFmRYblwM
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzPJ8S2lrFU
310Please respect copyright.PENANADJakXMxibt
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAJjlI1pAVko
310Please respect copyright.PENANA1yZffpNZsV
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXfkU4uiJaF
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAjUFUilc31Y
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUgZABdgrnq
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwkq0Zx5bmR
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."310Please respect copyright.PENANA3AjRwllgx6
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8zeSXv4PZ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzQof82D809
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA61URfBLd8D
310Please respect copyright.PENANAup6P4OpGGN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzgA5Mwhbo5
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.310Please respect copyright.PENANAWJL2n2PC0v
310Please respect copyright.PENANAreTGu3rzuC
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQONMPP9aCI
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."310Please respect copyright.PENANArUhP4wgbVj
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPJIhgxGE1d
310Please respect copyright.PENANAiVFtRefWGe
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"310Please respect copyright.PENANA3C2kN9ByVP
310Please respect copyright.PENANAtu2fnrdeto
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzSEMPWBOk8
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAM9CVdLiTE8
310Please respect copyright.PENANAI7Wqvv6Jk2
310Please respect copyright.PENANATOohtnLn40
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAdtAf2ftUzc
310Please respect copyright.PENANAf5S60V5EKB
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEOUor4kZgJ
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.310Please respect copyright.PENANACCU59zx6wy
310Please respect copyright.PENANAsjz6tuz157
310Please respect copyright.PENANATYYGSGH54U
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.310Please respect copyright.PENANAnBpe5AM6E0
310Please respect copyright.PENANAKQLvzzmCbG
310Please respect copyright.PENANAmmavw0XUpH
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."310Please respect copyright.PENANArwOr8S2DuR
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUwn4xNDuDG
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJHYReznoRx
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAOjkpUa8dH4
310Please respect copyright.PENANATBD4Z6chm2
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFLdkShyamC
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.310Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ3omvgUsA
310Please respect copyright.PENANANcF9Kbnhq6
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbz44DDLUsq
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.310Please respect copyright.PENANAQXE4AQzmKp
310Please respect copyright.PENANAtDDz7PJwIl
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuPs6HNdZQm
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."310Please respect copyright.PENANAI2R50X1ZwN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIWGrW67zrm
310Please respect copyright.PENANApTvpq5UIEs
"Point taken," I said.310Please respect copyright.PENANAoNaJlvBYX1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAlpjRpKBsuT
310Please respect copyright.PENANATLOmknFh92
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?310Please respect copyright.PENANAfMdnn4hqwl
310Please respect copyright.PENANAIQVKamwXkn

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.310Please respect copyright.PENANAcBmx9KX0za
310Please respect copyright.PENANAfNUubUX9U0
310Please respect copyright.PENANAFExGbXoNJR
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAr91pMopaO4
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYP1ttgK5d1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAPULKB3X2Dj
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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAMWmLBLKTHx
310Please respect copyright.PENANA52iGFyjnBH
310Please respect copyright.PENANAfNwNLeLYoW
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.310Please respect copyright.PENANA4xQHqSf9ol
310Please respect copyright.PENANAwE8iP75col
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJdGbOE2C4v
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAq7tWaOECCz
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6qehvBjqtP
310Please respect copyright.PENANAkBxLlbJvDa
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANANTN8mm7rLi
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqiM5uufWrQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANATZlWCB43Zr
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.310Please respect copyright.PENANAdRgXTMs4Tk
310Please respect copyright.PENANAWsGfgQAGd5
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqRT5iH1dZ8
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAkrDpcE96Z8
310Please respect copyright.PENANAnfITrrtKnB
310Please respect copyright.PENANA4OkCnjjMG8
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAMqJMZgqhZM
310Please respect copyright.PENANAviLCJHke88
310Please respect copyright.PENANACgtMIpDFXx
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fdbj8EN37
310Please respect copyright.PENANAyQLjSYFysF
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXXpAeEbKst
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA6OruLvSkBN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAdl0nE3dHhB
310Please respect copyright.PENANAYSLZlKYkX2
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.310Please respect copyright.PENANAOpZri5Sj7V
310Please respect copyright.PENANAT5cT0KdT3r

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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA9YSnCcFXK9
310Please respect copyright.PENANAuyT6WPNEnb
310Please respect copyright.PENANAQOSRJSbNhR
"Zoey, are you here?" I called.310Please respect copyright.PENANAgiAK0guSp3
310Please respect copyright.PENANAevyi4TYFdP
310Please respect copyright.PENANAziJS8TP4Ue
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAMlonBpbhxO
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqyNihIT52t

"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."310Please respect copyright.PENANAsIkerK0MY1
310Please respect copyright.PENANAXxE1aT2h1r
310Please respect copyright.PENANAToTEWe8npy
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAwlJeTwpPGh

"Yeah, she was. Then she went out, looking for Christine. I would’ve asked her to help me out, but then she went out because it’s been a while since Christine's been gone."310Please respect copyright.PENANALYh4qQTeJ2
310Please respect copyright.PENANAzYdFS6O6po
310Please respect copyright.PENANA8q93D5KT5S
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAcf2gBRiFHV

Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."310Please respect copyright.PENANAx0qsH76tgl

"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAIb9AXdAfpa
310Please respect copyright.PENANAESoFp1RsX7
310Please respect copyright.PENANAC6P89Uwfwp

310Please respect copyright.PENANAz7CKSWMfCN
310Please respect copyright.PENANAflrRam4KC6
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?310Please respect copyright.PENANAWA03Zd0266
310Please respect copyright.PENANAi75IHU4aWQ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAZdELmXBevI
"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?"310Please respect copyright.PENANAnCS3I6JnPc
310Please respect copyright.PENANAlJk87ZtaP3

"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."310Please respect copyright.PENANA6AgLqAF38f
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGU8mfRL92Y
310Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dh1fsmL9v

310Please respect copyright.PENANAf9XW48XB8c
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAdRdNctE8vx
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJPLQdf4LGW

310Please respect copyright.PENANArxjYEwNGiO
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA72dJjx7H5Q
310Please respect copyright.PENANAaTnxkaZIpE

Then why am I out here?310Please respect copyright.PENANAVvXSoanaDo
310Please respect copyright.PENANAm9koheBE8E
310Please respect copyright.PENANAhtYFSViYDr
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAnT4Un27cax
310Please respect copyright.PENANA3qqgOARlQD
310Please respect copyright.PENANANdQZdDLk8e
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?310Please respect copyright.PENANAr5NywOvBKO
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6jpd9RrM7i
310Please respect copyright.PENANAAq9ySjHUvD
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANA5WcKjJCG02
310Please respect copyright.PENANAqy8doyKS9P
310Please respect copyright.PENANAjmI2owRvqK
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"310Please respect copyright.PENANAhXmYZR0W7e
310Please respect copyright.PENANAEpJOwodVHt
310Please respect copyright.PENANA258k5szOwp

310Please respect copyright.PENANASEKdP4nWT0
310Please respect copyright.PENANACA6HSHomCG
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?310Please respect copyright.PENANA0guxiRox7r
310Please respect copyright.PENANAnbvgJUKfDO
310Please respect copyright.PENANArUVZpKJGF4
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.310Please respect copyright.PENANAzBJtaOMkxa
310Please respect copyright.PENANAg7KrnbOzXr
310Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hq8xte7XN
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAumgsYaHBg8
310Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ7EvXqpNI
310Please respect copyright.PENANAHxi8QV7dxG
"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?"310Please respect copyright.PENANA04oIJWW58m
310Please respect copyright.PENANAJUxvJUcN7T
310Please respect copyright.PENANAESxhbQ3u25
"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."310Please respect copyright.PENANAIuZjXK8mrJ
310Please respect copyright.PENANAbvBjzOFpno
310Please respect copyright.PENANAGLBSDVo12l
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANALw4PactiFS
310Please respect copyright.PENANABTl6RPnWt3
310Please respect copyright.PENANADJr1oQBFzg
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.310Please respect copyright.PENANAcsqwS8kSUk
