"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafUBg9efDy
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kk5xEJPnO
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoKQlc20gy
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xgo8WejKv
Collins laughed. "Are 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUtrk8AoH5
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RUKKPJ7m5
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm6CWNix4S
Zoey looked at me with a hopeless look on her face. I on the other hand wasn't giving up. I turned to look at Mike.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6FZkQ2e5h
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt5zcOldgA
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtwd76XT42
I didn't answer him right away as I answered Mike, "let's not make it a Mexican party, Mike. We can leave it out."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcilKQm0Mu
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM7f0158Fm
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mp0zDthFL
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK0iTK1ewI
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0eWUe0m98
"Gosh, what to do with 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHfHukpBRN
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoMGVpKGrx
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fWotSmfzU
end up in a cell."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4dnWJfnQa
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiINPlic844
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TEDnXeCY
"We promise," said Zoey.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdj396Hn1u
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLddetmhek
"Well, that went well," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAc0AAdrGe
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVbxKkbFIX
"There was nothing he 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRPyBMK65x
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S1BZ2C1dq
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXZY2ItM2W
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VNuXKXQtc
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoG0ecZUUG
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTy5wKPEHN
The five of us all came 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pvzc8GhXF
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE51U9PxJh
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjC9FQZNwc
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY17M19XC5M
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5w9d67si3
"I think we should stick together," said Christine. "We can't split up and just buy what we want. We didn't even make a list."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ae0pZoEM
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDffw6Xlx9
"Okay, then sticking 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQEFRc8dBS
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mlegqYlxc
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx385AlSGo
To make our shopping 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBccrveBhd
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5EeAi57mL
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmKasWqAH7
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l5LE5G23E
the shelves when he wasn't looking.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKJvgKLkau
We even got red 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmS0RqPskG
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt1cGlVrPc
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY99vWcPlY
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJOpi8code
though she seems not to show it sometimes.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV6p6PRYkm
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiJYcXUbyD
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqll46vBBV
"Oh, I'm scared for 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ9UOiPgBB
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz4EczMjBG
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21tlO2DDA3
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jsl1DTmwr
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgjx3ZKiPj
Mike did just that and 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3UcMbQx4E
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBXWon6sBv
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DQ5fHlYva
Christine came to me with red party hats.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QH5ylMdFe
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8mQG0lxZf
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonXf6SETBs
"In case what?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F88txGMIK
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrlrcveGeZ
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRJtXSwThw
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGcETfKU3R
"Lee is calling," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpeTPLroRn
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHuRxcODNb
"You guys just never 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyr1xcL69A
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj0bCMupuU
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNbiCqpxzq
you're throwing a party."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbjawe9hol
"Ya, we are," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcFZjLk4UY
"All I wanted was for 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BzEwk9Hyf
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqku8qx725
party out of the blue because you wanted to."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28OzKzFZ79
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0oFg3KhFK
"Don't tell me, save if 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dfKUwIgez
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwd2eq81wQ
don't help, Collins might just fire me."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnobi21n1N
"You know he wouldn't." I796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyKltSkAiu
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmNXkEXYE2
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvMQPvsiNa
beauty salon at all."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHkx4uTUZM
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQveCnt2iZ
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xsbYi0pdy
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSdo1nlSJw
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiQWD40ctH
"Sure they can. It's not796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZpwMb0pYC
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1KYz5afNF
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcXhppOyzO
call them." 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgw0zCE8eD
"Ya, you do that."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVQBrIiKwW
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zow73ppUg
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU5ABB0zDn
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbphlpDthSN
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux96QKMqse
"Red? Why red?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4dzb0YwKs
"Well, it's the theme for the party."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjl7ktl4H0
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLax1mXOY8H
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wy0qvhxmM
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4JzSfMmW4
"Mmmm baking cakes is a lot of work. A cake would be nice but I bet these guys would expect a big one for the party."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlqa5Lxyp1
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzUOKXBT44
"Thanks, Lee."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNFAYxzhKj
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi9nm4WHgl
Lee cut the line and I 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfC2Qaayx5
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayUmuzp7jO
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE9wx2Dvtp
into them with the trolley.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDkp69kZd9
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFHIt06KBu
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuBU8MFsFS
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI7cDIKLaC
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqRyhz2UT2
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZab5gItXW7
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJJr6VVBaE
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI03um8v06
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInUTWG0Piz
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlFI9hqIGN
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K8rYwqHS6
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEAY4cLYFj
"Aren't we almost done 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0tOJYcLOx
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiNOaO0k7C
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GQYZ2D08P
"I think we got all that796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IIW86QoeO
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymNFg87WeT
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHEUUtVoUH
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtAtRvONO
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZocUVIyWE
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1rphTtJa1
"Did someone say cake?" 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPtB32LBv5
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Y1occqTt
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYNtMOSX6u
My two brothers appeared from the last aisles with red party streamers as they sang Flo Rida's song "Cake", "I only came for the cake. Ca-ca-ca-cake Ca-ca-ca-cake!"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxvClx7Sdf
"Okay, looks like I 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM6G73hVPg
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1LY6DTpdc
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG8CHpGzh7
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNBwd8UxFY
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLnwV0TiJD
"No one knows," said 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7B8ajECbl
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlgh8uivpA
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPxxJOFdAj
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplWvx0yeWU
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztiydapuwF
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTqWNvez80
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rBbhfITxa
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTad1fp3s9Z
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAP3i8ozoi
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1RyPik86g
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJLnUIWlV5
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraa6p4oTvo
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzFqnyk29S
"Okay, let's pay and put all this in the car. We will only have forty minutes to get clothes and whatever that is red."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOGJRmNDqJ
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxYSJq3KM1
We quickly went straight796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zDez05zFe
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkmkVNcqTJ
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j2RykuI0X
easily by passersby.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrAhTeBNtS
As soon as we were done 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5qprzqweU
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmSuqUY8aG
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dHm1Xc3Ta
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT4C8fL18H
another.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7idROtoZc
Surprisingly, as many 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmX7qgMW54
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WO17sTXAc
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98emRa5RhM
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlIygXL59R
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHqj9K3S5G
to come out with were red shoes.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld4oByYPeD
"This is getting 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7SjodRlB4
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2PFzEhmh3
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiOajJQIbt
can't seem to find the right outfit."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBv3OywLGX
"Shouldn't we have just 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRvBaXi4qZ
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgMoniqexZ
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzo2KIJ9Hk
"You would have looked like a fairy," I said. I knew the dress she was talking about. She couldn't get her eyes off it.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3F96INvs
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAwlO44VS5
"I feel so too," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK6UXez5GX
"You know the offer is 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsmHucu8AA
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqwqjaOl3a
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtdQhRFivg
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwNOCpqeU9
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG85KRNPBZK
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSBwwBX6qB
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3jcNocBTn
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kPDuV7yHM
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgxPTXezyr
"No, I'm calling Lee. 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq2pmvxLYQ
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKF32umU2p
phone began to ring at the under end.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE9s0QYBhx
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPQUpEITBX
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4aBAhkehm
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04WrG4XMl9
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4lhiGiQ5
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUNUDCjix
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fTnbWkEzq
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ST2X4oXFA
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT52m4oHBT3
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH9k26feMb
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W4lLkHm0x
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG0Qv4NRXM
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s5HSjuoRg
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoPWrQzLHz
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92pNB0FtE
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUjnZsvaJG
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrHgcqzynT
"Well, lucky her," said 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyAnjVmrPv
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXCThiaq2u
like she found what she was looking for."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CfUxpLECq
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpbDyrDg1M
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGGECX7eJs
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0WRCxJD8G
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q8yP0YsA3
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshzMZLH6wY
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs4eF95hWs
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VMIyP0CN
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsKroyIAHp
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56V6TaHzkb
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY8GxwAdh4
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1zdEX6NWS
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbwP9byU2m
"Maybe it's because we didn't find a nice fancy boutique like this one," I answered as I noticed a red and white dress.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN9MpuiDlR
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYlrN60dok
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t2KRwYCm7
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ac4VqZIMz
I kept on looking in the796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAxaWTJbXO
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5lRDAW4Wt
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2DrsMye6t
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYmIEPzP9E
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq50Q4CUpo
"I like it," said 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DQXHxbP4i
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKAFiLYMV6
they are really going to match with your heels."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzPeWdWHQT
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtDzBhIqs4
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnANjKyfwMO
"I didn't ask for your 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpDAKqtWSw
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruAZ1GWux6
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY24kNrB0L
"But I bet she looked more prettier."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYMTSYj0L
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5bxZnQx5m
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqVjTISfh8
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBHivqkrL3
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcsX9LWKpw
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP5tSb9UyV
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlrbpsDnSf
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Rwlr8fBt
Christine ran off to the796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2WJgiayfV
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkTOPd4hSL
her hand and back in her usual clothes.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50WsUh81iV
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneO1DlN03L
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbhMfzLlgJ
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpSh8wTxwV
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFDv1I2L6r
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQibgVV5VS
"I feel the last four 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdHL7uuEWU
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4KtaJExbz
out a red top that didn't feel right still.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KMCxUwR5B
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLEBoGrI23
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Zpf1A2OA
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDdY422WpV
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUJupU8Ct2
"True," said Zoey from the counter.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonlBJZRsIy
"You can do it well 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSq2lqjQ43
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfxidXVIfs
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZILFqbK9CW
rack.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1VfkRukMd
"And you don't have to 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZJCK9b61j
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSssCHUoHZA
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQoRS8NN12
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTxEtGBHGh
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFGtbL0klQ
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sMBmNoM0W
"Me neither," said Daniel.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IJtnoy3Zl
"Well, now you know," said Lee.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ67XfXFU7N
"Gosh, there is nothing 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuU9iRwQvr
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDobJchd6vl
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrT6pk773G
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FAv3QygU4
"Let me go in the last aisle."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotoGLPdU2m
Just as I was about to 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrydQTq9vBu
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ORb0icpU
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3GAH8kSMY
backwards.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr93QXQsYDY
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdEfSb9O2r
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVgf9MkhQ6
"Sam, what is it?" Lee asked as she came over to me. She probably hadn't seen me bump into the person in front of me.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQBXMFOeJa
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PXwuXVcWL
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRr55vNyh5
I looked at the person 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMNMHZmbWX
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIfPLmyoVu
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DlMdCTQhL
"Hey," said Zoey as she 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibAjmOqM4U
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU0VLXww3h
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvOzz033SR
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrqapwspv9
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEJH5R7dhn
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwOULOGB0a
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDCrE2tjkg
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc7ud5H4Xp
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBs6tzJYNK
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIWT98xJrJ
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyK06GIh6D
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVO39BPee5
Immediately my two 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cYuTta2Ex
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoteqpWmyUx
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06JVssAgi0
Then all of the sudden, a796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSHAVHxDIP
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVLJUesOap
was coming from. It was Christine.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKhBVyb80Y
She quickly covered her 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ObKcZTbmz
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVA79UyHl7
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V2HeSKxOq
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NRD0QlDYA
"Spare her," said 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkHYNwFmo5
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbrhbGWXLD
ourselves contained when we see famous people."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNnXAxalK
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90CJigOMJp
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRKzjgSvNz
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzWRmUfmTA
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q7vhA8f5Z
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPQFAqKNHD
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0PUpMqEnE
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgi4AO4vQG
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR2IMGyxZT
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwuvprIkCc
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheeBOyjMqe
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsJem7OAA1
"I already did, thanks. 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxfVxBYsc8
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzQ0OR7IYZ
to go back and prepare for the party."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCIMvD2J8H
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaemt2CMGX
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFikuzSgd8O
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZEsnLuObD
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiGo8yeW9N
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yJGGgns9d
Joy turned around and I 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPH2TWUI24
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13JHOJY3mE
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFCGJwLQjY
she drew out the one she was looking for.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6ORVe73sw
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuCXVA4cuU
She gave me a red short 796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYxHO0OZWv
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWRclBey0P
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLcuQX3lgM
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ybj0zdkmb
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY0Htly6qj
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxthb0VucX
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TawIqfTwO
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmQU8v5CtJ
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx002MNC7Kp
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj73ilmetj4
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTuqye1PIJ
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh0CxJ2Jhm
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb8TN8pAMY
"As much as we would love to hang out with you guys at your party, I'm afraid we have to go back to the studio," said Irene.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUjUU8TJ0k
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtlrH9HYE
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwqUmThV2l
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0fSrMBgCw
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FCTCvvPvA
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhccJZUH2od
"Really?" I looked at the size of the dress by the tag at the back of it. "Even if it is, what if it's too big on me?"796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6KTpOOxTV
"Whenever I get you a dress, I never check the size because I know you perfectly. We have to go. We don't have much time."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtypY7QsDY
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV2frdb3eW
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJSGwjyGOF
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXvQyvLDdg
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8LmjutjGK
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.796Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DQj0fAWwO
