Sam’s P.O.V: 107Please respect copyright.PENANApCfr7wfP7d
107Please respect copyright.PENANAcZxpoQ9T1z
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdlwLJxsDdz
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAbqfijbm2aR
107Please respect copyright.PENANAMoGLjeu3w9
107Please respect copyright.PENANAvbB5QLnuoU
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?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAHBNXIjVUg1
107Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9VMjK0p51
107Please respect copyright.PENANARBCaV0Bk4K
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."107Please respect copyright.PENANAl3nr9ujO9K
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwkl9HDNdJK
107Please respect copyright.PENANAya9IYNlqdn
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAjFowNWBMux
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZeNQ8uphBq
107Please respect copyright.PENANAPDRfdQ3YT2
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.107Please respect copyright.PENANAnZiBQwqzB3
107Please respect copyright.PENANARuxdn9TpRR
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFNyON9IWv5
"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?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAeQpKqhNFwE
107Please respect copyright.PENANAA9fLzYPz3E
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGmBJgoS7kz
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."107Please respect copyright.PENANA8lk5WXJdOc
107Please respect copyright.PENANAc5WZJZlN9K
107Please respect copyright.PENANASztgSrsDDO
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAyFts3a3SKG
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjxZfl405eS
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd3fIcfGRer
"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?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAa4DFZn4Rbh
107Please respect copyright.PENANAydF4KDv8nO
107Please respect copyright.PENANAzBb9EavGtN
"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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAMBqZYJBBFY
107Please respect copyright.PENANAxWBJu2MdsP
107Please respect copyright.PENANAgIDs5cuQPX
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANANYkG5D3SZb
107Please respect copyright.PENANANXaxlHAdMk
107Please respect copyright.PENANAO1jCLFDmam
"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." 107Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dh3gNRLVF
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdo5b6IppFb
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3CGwtjVEX9
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANASr8gDaszT5
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGdiuom4VSM
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjzWnYimGZ1
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAaJOK9qYy6g
107Please respect copyright.PENANAUeCfmkFuRR
107Please respect copyright.PENANATA8KK5kjku
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.107Please respect copyright.PENANAIyvIPYp1od
107Please respect copyright.PENANArci8uymkAE
107Please respect copyright.PENANANLYdZgZ5pQ
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.107Please respect copyright.PENANAwRcrz7kMAl
107Please respect copyright.PENANAG3oLb8UZeR
107Please respect copyright.PENANAgNehpHixqd
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."107Please respect copyright.PENANAyELXgoBIFm
107Please respect copyright.PENANABA7v1zlXPT
107Please respect copyright.PENANA46SsIWauGD
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAVvFpACP1qI
107Please respect copyright.PENANAue1GGDQdtF
107Please respect copyright.PENANAOdVXuAVibn
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAhG6eeKMugW
107Please respect copyright.PENANAfPBvQMK9Gr
107Please respect copyright.PENANA56jL73tNEj
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANA0s0rewdvxu
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd6wA3nuMx9
107Please respect copyright.PENANAL6gELfAeaW
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.107Please respect copyright.PENANA6hzolg8vG0
107Please respect copyright.PENANAgSSjbj0EOH
107Please respect copyright.PENANAEu8OfhGOkI
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."107Please respect copyright.PENANAbaZ4E6k6Vr
107Please respect copyright.PENANAT07AyXz0em
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6MWLFpez5X
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."107Please respect copyright.PENANAgI893Y2Xjm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAMrkfV3w5tL
107Please respect copyright.PENANAeHRlDeS1IY
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAVys2HXKJRU
107Please respect copyright.PENANAyy9b4qvwcV
107Please respect copyright.PENANAeaDKCpGn5n
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.107Please respect copyright.PENANAyA7Iu23G4X
107Please respect copyright.PENANA2PuVTcrtk0
107Please respect copyright.PENANAkW3TDIWvWt
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.107Please respect copyright.PENANA4Tvc2VKzqK
107Please respect copyright.PENANAoTVvIkcxX1
107Please respect copyright.PENANAyDbH5N12T1
"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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAdGOTlmupVv
107Please respect copyright.PENANAyT1nfJDcnF
107Please respect copyright.PENANA07yIHBEAoA
"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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAG0AFsOJmzQ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAeIWgHzRqko
107Please respect copyright.PENANAxUKEtSe3Ws
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.107Please respect copyright.PENANAfDOQXhvFR2
107Please respect copyright.PENANAL0SAwWiuUD
107Please respect copyright.PENANALckEEqZ7uX
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAz3TlN0C5z7
107Please respect copyright.PENANACkTlugvvWh
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwEqa4kSwET
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.107Please respect copyright.PENANADmOvFm2dlN
107Please respect copyright.PENANANxvDN3oDMy
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFjn7qvRr7t
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAgxNrvYu0mp
107Please respect copyright.PENANAw1dklPNSAl
107Please respect copyright.PENANAH9bxgR1GN8
"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.107Please respect copyright.PENANABlCRYMFliN
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJSus0Bm0A0
107Please respect copyright.PENANAgJsS8Z6jKn
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.107Please respect copyright.PENANANbKJtebu8S
107Please respect copyright.PENANAvL8nY8qqaL
107Please respect copyright.PENANA45x5xDjQFG
"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?"107Please respect copyright.PENANA712KcJG51T
107Please respect copyright.PENANAiS4QTAKOZ0
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdfHJoiUoD1
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?107Please respect copyright.PENANA5BziyCizbZ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFHxAMlthO0
107Please respect copyright.PENANApKrdp8RCrd
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAvet29MsAwC
107Please respect copyright.PENANARLlYa5H5rQ
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6W3LiHmOlq
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."107Please respect copyright.PENANAU6sI4836qr
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7aiCOGtsho
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGqe8jxpeW8
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."107Please respect copyright.PENANAL56AYIoWzQ
107Please respect copyright.PENANA0rPBXPzKAB
107Please respect copyright.PENANA4jOKyuq3ms
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."107Please respect copyright.PENANArzCIHDZUXZ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAVvX0NUyI7J
107Please respect copyright.PENANAs8bhMbyj7V
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAytVa1su87U
107Please respect copyright.PENANAy5YzUAJuwu
107Please respect copyright.PENANAahUXCXplQd
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAupN2tAOH0X
107Please respect copyright.PENANAeaB9tnJkC2
107Please respect copyright.PENANA5f432oZtqN
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."107Please respect copyright.PENANAcgxKvUY41y
107Please respect copyright.PENANA52TdO0iVSz
107Please respect copyright.PENANAnJVCKDHIh9
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.107Please respect copyright.PENANAk4v5BvfkQW
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7j8mnQtAjO
107Please respect copyright.PENANAMOwhDFw0yR
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAKn2xmivxyn
107Please respect copyright.PENANADpQe51otCh
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdJFXRuJcSG
"It looks lovely," I commented.107Please respect copyright.PENANAp07cKmhteZ
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6hPQ7e1WuO
107Please respect copyright.PENANAnkCNEAGwKT
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.107Please respect copyright.PENANATdZvCon745
107Please respect copyright.PENANAvoOGOUhz7m
107Please respect copyright.PENANAkgYfl8ssqh
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.107Please respect copyright.PENANAa3ZsmvFhwI
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6vlS30tQUg
107Please respect copyright.PENANAme0wFbxEYK
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAN8tVGzfO2b
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJHtpC7VkLV
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmxZCCIjy7a
"Yeah, I will need the help."107Please respect copyright.PENANAeQPksOIG9v
107Please respect copyright.PENANADyekql7WvG
107Please respect copyright.PENANArsGTg9iNSf
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAe0J8EFHV2O
107Please respect copyright.PENANAXxKWlxfCR3
107Please respect copyright.PENANAijke0OcCuS
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAiAfKQ2bWsT
107Please respect copyright.PENANAVBVBzrfCYU
107Please respect copyright.PENANAC6J4wcQbXP
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANASchFKrHvXW
107Please respect copyright.PENANApPYYy8Ta8d
107Please respect copyright.PENANApjvuEWjwUe
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.107Please respect copyright.PENANAx2lESnwMxl
107Please respect copyright.PENANAWLHelLtBWP
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7CHsk9IYMx
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAwAIt6xUmx7
107Please respect copyright.PENANA2YLkWW3AZu
107Please respect copyright.PENANA5yOyRchaBp
"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.107Please respect copyright.PENANA2xsPRvmaie
107Please respect copyright.PENANAfwaiL7VBbG
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7hsIazIWyg
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."107Please respect copyright.PENANAz0frRFskq8
107Please respect copyright.PENANAb9MQgjqpYq
107Please respect copyright.PENANA1TMCbPANPX
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAhSGtMy3Twf
107Please respect copyright.PENANAIt7iWfR7Zy
107Please respect copyright.PENANACYWvwH4CYi
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."107Please respect copyright.PENANANNysrSoYW2
107Please respect copyright.PENANAVnfiNEdrPb
107Please respect copyright.PENANARooyXGabN5
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.107Please respect copyright.PENANAjJmmYAByFx
107Please respect copyright.PENANA4lJo8tS86T
107Please respect copyright.PENANAt58jie6qnK
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."107Please respect copyright.PENANARKdpsH20xp
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwcpqh5uhyM
107Please respect copyright.PENANAguVWIVklNB
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.107Please respect copyright.PENANAgzYPJYiAfH
107Please respect copyright.PENANAK8jGayr1Us
107Please respect copyright.PENANAbHr2kPvPGk
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.107Please respect copyright.PENANAEQUyHfeMeu
107Please respect copyright.PENANAlmPEh451fN
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6WwzdOsfpU
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."107Please respect copyright.PENANAsPWrGYoSC9
107Please respect copyright.PENANAz6M1lfbsEi
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjyMiMKORco
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAKMcQNkXnBX
107Please respect copyright.PENANA0pdqqVpayX
107Please respect copyright.PENANAYsLsZHon2W
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAULx3bD2S9q
107Please respect copyright.PENANASsYx1GwcXh
107Please respect copyright.PENANATATQkkUuHd
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAoIliHaZlEN
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6pn0DeUw43
107Please respect copyright.PENANAl67qsY660T
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.107Please respect copyright.PENANAkP6q5yVDtf
107Please respect copyright.PENANA2CYjDoCW2k
107Please respect copyright.PENANAQtpDPR30kP
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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAK8nfo3eK8B
107Please respect copyright.PENANAHfF6vy6Xrk
107Please respect copyright.PENANABU7jHUiEBn
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANACb15dl6EVt
107Please respect copyright.PENANA7ynip1QTZz
107Please respect copyright.PENANAhO9yzsFAsM
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAra6Ughz0TE
107Please respect copyright.PENANAuaKGzuB3gy
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd7XQ8xaDsX
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAfH5rMxJIEt
107Please respect copyright.PENANA4irEHtZHfM
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd5OmP58xIy
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAhaGmlrr03G
107Please respect copyright.PENANA86MQWcWBM7
107Please respect copyright.PENANACHJedt55CJ
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."107Please respect copyright.PENANAMcB2GEdjTH
107Please respect copyright.PENANA0VEdeS6iHJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmNg8zjwgtS
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANA3ED8NV8C58
107Please respect copyright.PENANAr3T8LjWaOB
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwUct5fF8iE
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.107Please respect copyright.PENANABDWMBRqkOr
107Please respect copyright.PENANARa286Bmstm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZgcrrNCoTQ
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."107Please respect copyright.PENANAq6xefxJFwK
107Please respect copyright.PENANAVKpkjKhYpR
107Please respect copyright.PENANAOoWmM3Aq84
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAPHIKFrprAx
107Please respect copyright.PENANArpWNpNC7ex
107Please respect copyright.PENANAtZVJ2pfYBh
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANA7VBGsfgX6h
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGnRpgNx02L
107Please respect copyright.PENANACl9PEEOk9Z
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAVrbjAODPEF
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdXjGTfO8MH
107Please respect copyright.PENANA4kJKt7Ddok
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.107Please respect copyright.PENANACUf6EBgX4X
107Please respect copyright.PENANAsDvdbda0oi
107Please respect copyright.PENANAKgZUrqdDrD
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANA5RFtL9G3bE
107Please respect copyright.PENANAlQiNXnXU5c
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdRZYiHFW8E
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."107Please respect copyright.PENANA2kWErC8mut
107Please respect copyright.PENANAz1wLXJmOwD
107Please respect copyright.PENANAVtbifutZza
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAk5KsVuaKOV
107Please respect copyright.PENANARvU5OUuobe
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4nPSkl2MI
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.107Please respect copyright.PENANAf9mJkR6Jcd
107Please respect copyright.PENANAoOCnc3QjNx
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZXC4oSjkUv
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAzotaNtND5T
107Please respect copyright.PENANAelpRuwtyFc
107Please respect copyright.PENANAEq4Qhc98bn
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."107Please respect copyright.PENANAsewOICtHZH
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZUGvgvMAsk
107Please respect copyright.PENANAC5L7cB8rmW
"Point taken," I said.107Please respect copyright.PENANA3OsX9Ss8Hl
107Please respect copyright.PENANAqxNhHlImfY
107Please respect copyright.PENANAaTYQKkExlw
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?107Please respect copyright.PENANAVKkQZPTxrT
107Please respect copyright.PENANANyX89ZJ8xe
107Please respect copyright.PENANAxNxPuAs6Qw
"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.107Please respect copyright.PENANA9zIIQWihPJ

Jimin shook his head. "I wasn't paying attention," he answered.107Please respect copyright.PENANAx517CVmLvI
107Please respect copyright.PENANA5FlZAboffR
107Please respect copyright.PENANA1kCrUjUtSx
"I’ll go and check on them," said Lee.107Please respect copyright.PENANAyyr19w0VmF

Lee left, making her way to the changing rooms.107Please respect copyright.PENANArIngi2Lnts

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANALWeUiIP2Ix
107Please respect copyright.PENANAxjz709mPDJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANA53ZtTpFCQU
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAbqR0XgfeOc
107Please respect copyright.PENANAMMdneTfnxE
107Please respect copyright.PENANATmalmghHrL
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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAG09LjEsDk4
107Please respect copyright.PENANAEwsIUZhsyo
107Please respect copyright.PENANAdTqWsXMdXP
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.107Please respect copyright.PENANApgUgRRtkTR
107Please respect copyright.PENANA4LSZHaGzUz
107Please respect copyright.PENANA37LgtKcXvE
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANA7AVo2H9o5Y
107Please respect copyright.PENANAedxVbONJ1z
107Please respect copyright.PENANATkGZMvThxT
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANADqnhGm0tm3
107Please respect copyright.PENANAh25OiapHOj
107Please respect copyright.PENANAE1swtfKRr5
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.107Please respect copyright.PENANAqvUZemsYCy
107Please respect copyright.PENANAHog49btSG6
107Please respect copyright.PENANAje6rwEdSYY
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAriNcwd6yV2
107Please respect copyright.PENANA40sm329WpF
107Please respect copyright.PENANAkAMnJqDobd
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAwOEWHZ6gL5
107Please respect copyright.PENANAExpQtxamWf
107Please respect copyright.PENANAShiJJPTKUB
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAiGBOSUE9TF
107Please respect copyright.PENANAaAmUZZjnQN
107Please respect copyright.PENANAiVCyxamJhB
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAr3ch0ZHwvq
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjNzfO2iHBJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAfY0xOl56B0
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAzEsthXCel8
107Please respect copyright.PENANAs88xgO1Utl
107Please respect copyright.PENANAhvKWhxdIzu
"I think so too," I said. "We really need to check up on them."107Please respect copyright.PENANAiGuLjzXP0K
107Please respect copyright.PENANAHbLrr53tWm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAl1RAK2jFtn
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAKjp0U1WG7J
107Please respect copyright.PENANAu53dzGgM9E
107Please respect copyright.PENANAp1ZEDxt9yw
"Zoey, are you here?" I called.107Please respect copyright.PENANAz3w7LqEal4
107Please respect copyright.PENANAcRcl5nqvsb
107Please respect copyright.PENANAVzCTWZZUft
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANA7QPjbNcuc4
107Please respect copyright.PENANAK2vwyrgpH5
107Please respect copyright.PENANAAL5cshL6Jj
"Zoey, are you in there?" I asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAicKOSoMAeV
107Please respect copyright.PENANAo3p8rJ4OxV
107Please respect copyright.PENANAatBcRHl8FD
"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."107Please respect copyright.PENANAlGdp7Fd8XQ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAKL80zjSicL
107Please respect copyright.PENANAchAxQhQSNM
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAv9EuBgT5gJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6wVFm4laZC
107Please respect copyright.PENANAD73QBDGDrH
"How did you put it on if you can’t even take it off?" I asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ0Gexs2zm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAxP76GT7ijy
107Please respect copyright.PENANA28bEKSDIGX
"Christine was helping me out when she left me all alone," said Zoey as she put on her shirt.107Please respect copyright.PENANA2U0NosfTyO
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwXdHKeAkvJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAsPKCLJ3L1a
"I thought Lee was here with you."107Please respect copyright.PENANAryOZOofvyh
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd9pK7Dhd6i
107Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gpectesp9
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAv16CAnFSv6
107Please respect copyright.PENANABKrxqpHauR
107Please respect copyright.PENANAy8YuvVoTKX
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAi8tE4DvK4d
107Please respect copyright.PENANAod9F6PqMfM
107Please respect copyright.PENANAjboS0FBzWW
"Hey, I heard about Christine," I said. "Did you find her?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAJw25lvr6tN
107Please respect copyright.PENANAItsJhFIEyA
107Please respect copyright.PENANAbHC5mS6eRg
"No," Lee answered. "I checked the women’s room, and I made one more sweep around the shop, but nothing. She’s not here."107Please respect copyright.PENANAAAHS5f7gxm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAGuv3RcnkHY
107Please respect copyright.PENANAnl40bapNMt
"Strange," said Mino. "Where could she have gone?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAfkjueZ23k1
107Please respect copyright.PENANAtnzMsUnKwW
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmDJ18Y9O7k

107Please respect copyright.PENANAZm2ft9YmGq
"Let me try doing that now," said Lee as she pulled out her phone.107Please respect copyright.PENANAHCVWFmDdBF
107Please respect copyright.PENANAHOOoEQrrFD
107Please respect copyright.PENANA87FVjS2Cl7
Mike and Daniel came to join us. "Still no sign of the girls?" Mike asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANABV688Q7NV1
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3gFtTI1jLL
107Please respect copyright.PENANA5438qkxs3Z
"Zoey is in the dressing room," I answered. "Christine is nowhere to be found."107Please respect copyright.PENANA8NXjvfm3zK
107Please respect copyright.PENANAzvMqyTbMOr
107Please respect copyright.PENANAuoK1fBwB6c
"Where could she be if she isn’t here?" Daniel asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANARa1Cro5X0j
107Please respect copyright.PENANAg4Xxuj3Ghk
107Please respect copyright.PENANALhTMO4LdVT
"That’s what we want to find out," said Jimin as he looked at Lee.107Please respect copyright.PENANA7wDK6Adee4
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmYcqHh9sKa
107Please respect copyright.PENANAUOAOMZtbQW
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."107Please respect copyright.PENANAgWI6ApGJcT
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3oRntbqP0G
107Please respect copyright.PENANANkzfnssKSs
"Great. Zoey goes out to find Johnny, and now we have to deal with Christine going missing," said Mike. "Where has she gone?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAUTY4vHQRKm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJCsjEoE3fv
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFVes3g0cM0
"Maybe she went back to the dumpling shop?" Daniel suggested.107Please respect copyright.PENANAlr5nZRT4wu
107Please respect copyright.PENANALtGWnyVdAx
107Please respect copyright.PENANAADKpzL158k
"Then she would’ve told us," I said. "This whole thing seems fishy, and I don’t like it."107Please respect copyright.PENANAOTKdpA41So
107Please respect copyright.PENANACUq7P33Hve
107Please respect copyright.PENANAlR1DkmskGF
"Let me try and call her again," said Lee as she tapped on her phone and placed it on her ear.107Please respect copyright.PENANAPgJf92nHds
107Please respect copyright.PENANAvEqKeC1wsz
107Please respect copyright.PENANASSezLVzaKA
Zoey rushed out of the changing rooms. She comes to stand beside me with the white and pink Hanbok in hand.107Please respect copyright.PENANAfA7KPkWUau
107Please respect copyright.PENANACz9iCUaHZr
107Please respect copyright.PENANAqAnxwMWUfj
"Have you found her?" she asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAswNNtFKaSI
107Please respect copyright.PENANANL3qiftQZn
107Please respect copyright.PENANANwQb5DxORd
Mino shook his head. "No luck," he answered.107Please respect copyright.PENANAOEiQhuLi0l
107Please respect copyright.PENANAYRQHcjjPFm
107Please respect copyright.PENANA6h8ZKJVsex
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANAMlzfelX9xL
107Please respect copyright.PENANAA2jmcEzLMz
107Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pf5HmzaGH
"Do you think Johnny found her, and she had to run?" Zoey asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAXMNBlzS8hf
107Please respect copyright.PENANAxb7F9YtEdF
107Please respect copyright.PENANAz5x8jp7ygM
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?107Please respect copyright.PENANAMqKiFmiPf2
107Please respect copyright.PENANARoXOlEUe6x
107Please respect copyright.PENANARywNkWMCCE
"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?"107Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qx9O5UoH4
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZFYp2sFg8w
107Please respect copyright.PENANAhWcNr1cAXm
"I don’t know—a coincidence, maybe." Zoey shrugged her shoulders.107Please respect copyright.PENANAfnJdRV6c16
107Please respect copyright.PENANAzllmiYRb4G
107Please respect copyright.PENANA9bS88Di2VE
"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."107Please respect copyright.PENANAeQBoiq7fXp
107Please respect copyright.PENANAM38EkDKrk4
107Please respect copyright.PENANAD35yJqd5t3
"Should we be worried?" Lee asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAL8jPnLmIKH
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3EKpkpaAgE
107Please respect copyright.PENANAo6nbAOHUSs
"Usually I wouldn’t. But she doesn’t know the area really well, so yeah, I would be worried."107Please respect copyright.PENANAtHJUQiEVlZ
107Please respect copyright.PENANApXC1mBUr0x
107Please respect copyright.PENANA01a0QTwpu1
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANApy5RRJbbfs
107Please respect copyright.PENANAYMSk1hMcyP
107Please respect copyright.PENANAE8q4nIgo5L
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAIASbGb6FxT
107Please respect copyright.PENANAG4fdiTIFjm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAd9kBtaNxuP
After leaving the clothing store, we started to make our way back to the dumpling shop. I really do hope we find her.107Please respect copyright.PENANAni5MVM1UyK

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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAyk5GZgMUJl
107Please respect copyright.PENANA8LekZfzQn2
107Please respect copyright.PENANAZz55Xdez56
Then why am I out here?107Please respect copyright.PENANALKy8dfffbJ
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3jAxoQRW5I
107Please respect copyright.PENANAXD7AWjPQxN
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANA10Fa4tLDn0
107Please respect copyright.PENANA3jALhWHY5s
107Please respect copyright.PENANAmn2GVqOZ52
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?107Please respect copyright.PENANAN3PnV7SO1Q
107Please respect copyright.PENANAQPbh4tqFKu
107Please respect copyright.PENANATOhDMqBpK0
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAYNjsEQiSB5
107Please respect copyright.PENANANMUgOOjowL
107Please respect copyright.PENANAYTYuo4vMMW
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAPou27d8Ifz
107Please respect copyright.PENANAtht4IlX1zj
107Please respect copyright.PENANATTZeSeoDoB
"No, not all," he said as he pulled out the wooden chair for me.107Please respect copyright.PENANAid2VMCbfve
107Please respect copyright.PENANAIZ0QMkM0Gk
107Please respect copyright.PENANAoZfNXVok5c
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?107Please respect copyright.PENANABsXtDzkRbh
107Please respect copyright.PENANANbHlbvM8ZQ
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJLKGhp7lJc
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.107Please respect copyright.PENANAiZItN3GbGc
107Please respect copyright.PENANAOLM0XzaumD
107Please respect copyright.PENANAbSYCJpjs5v
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANApwLgtGta6n
107Please respect copyright.PENANAAWEMKpNUOS
107Please respect copyright.PENANAFAvqnnQChw
"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?"107Please respect copyright.PENANAG92TrwLAvm
107Please respect copyright.PENANAwKbaNsxtjL
107Please respect copyright.PENANAXCOWBl3ziS
"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."107Please respect copyright.PENANANvbArL4x6o
107Please respect copyright.PENANATYqNRoUuxu
107Please respect copyright.PENANAJnGg2NPO5E
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANAPJrI7WTeSD
107Please respect copyright.PENANAKRpBhCg0wD
107Please respect copyright.PENANA9tL6HuvPE5
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.107Please respect copyright.PENANASGhbwiGnHH
