"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAjA1sveSVvx
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA4HsV3VUCwA
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAUt8Qi6KN32
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA72yHkAFvDu
Collins laughed. "Are 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1OaXzzYtVq
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9H0Il8WWqk
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5VVPsmhF5
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.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAocixml2Iv3
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA0grL8kws2k
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAp7MdL6AbWF
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."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA2K9AtMyMi6
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAWzJpKaJ3Wg
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAhd40WFKNxT
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAZsUkfcD4lX
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYGK0FJ5MGx
"Gosh, what to do with 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAAtRbGqBkdY
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAer38xlc9bk
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAimv5xV75FL
end up in a cell."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAMUGI45Qtc0
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAEbZv9nfxqo
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAouRPD6o04d
"We promise," said Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAygVSP1C8hD
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAUaE553OOfo
"Well, that went well," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAb2dmh96mZP
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAcfyOGmEClX
"There was nothing he 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA6XKJs0v2cT
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAlWFE0tbXLM
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He1092Please respect copyright.PENANA7UzaYFPkrb
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAWslKOYOCdz
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA92mDVNqSvS
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.1092Please respect copyright.PENANApkM87D2NCw
The five of us all came 1092Please respect copyright.PENANATn0rcToBiE
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA4NLasDCA5O
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAWHZmjblj6O
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAvBQHTwklf2
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAftzAQiehru
"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."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9psETiqORe
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAMwHm19DmWj
"Okay, then sticking 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAP8Hlnmoy0Y
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGyJkWqD3KV
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGC1ZK39fJK
To make our shopping 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAfyqxM1eApY
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 1092Please respect copyright.PENANATySrWjsKqa
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAsLM5srSVwB
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAykPqbnm3l4
the shelves when he wasn't looking.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAgBfFJF4Rt1
We even got red 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA4K8JULOKpJ
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 1092Please respect copyright.PENANApKjQp0QNSa
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 1092Please respect copyright.PENANANiQ6SKaI9J
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAHhsB1NYYMK
though she seems not to show it sometimes.1092Please respect copyright.PENANATljJKEZ9jV
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1AGpT2QIjU
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAQnrVndCEwE
"Oh, I'm scared for 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAyPTYMtA76w
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 1092Please respect copyright.PENANArabSGzN3ea
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAdcbLqG3ryJ
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYwxzMdMh6g
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA6JdprLlKsw
Mike did just that and 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAPo9M6utrrD
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAolPwEWEDys
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAWYJOjBPIJy
Christine came to me with red party hats.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA55DVzJLUiU
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANARbNeujQyR1
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAsYJc1Wza0C
"In case what?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAXfTy3JLMjv
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA4fBCSijBlX
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."1092Please respect copyright.PENANARxnhc144jv
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAU5ATCPrON0
"Lee is calling," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAqAY6cIeyre
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAosyPXWAJsO
"You guys just never 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAshskIfWtxU
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAtE4U0o7SQ0
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 1092Please respect copyright.PENANApnka7S8DoI
you're throwing a party."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAawU1zPgOgt
"Ya, we are," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAbzYZhqhgB6
"All I wanted was for 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAVxwXfQMiDN
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a1092Please respect copyright.PENANAScLkuRAKXl
party out of the blue because you wanted to."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAEwr1uYgziP
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGUtlkMpWkA
"Don't tell me, save if 1092Please respect copyright.PENANALxnIzam7A9
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAFh37Fnu9Op
don't help, Collins might just fire me."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA5Msl6gCR7j
"You know he wouldn't." I1092Please respect copyright.PENANAZcbaKi7LNA
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA6QP3CTrJnu
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAgBNbMnVEol
beauty salon at all."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAia4oKZbgDj
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAVZogoEjhc7
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAgSNrM7vAPF
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAzEHaoUcAN9
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9N0Rig1C0m
"Sure they can. It's not1092Please respect copyright.PENANAKGDR1y4iFr
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAqdfBcgO9WQ
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAEGlRb5uwxn
call them." 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9C8q8Rzanb
"Ya, you do that."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAC0f43d0CV6
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA91jW2uyTD6
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1goMW5Egoj
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANA5eGCbOQStX
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAvWU7pQEuRQ
"Red? Why red?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAke6pKkGIsY
"Well, it's the theme for the party."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA76m6ThXUPo
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYzJYMU4OI7
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAg6EPRN94D5
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAzdrL1CkV0k
"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."1092Please respect copyright.PENANArHD4DIn9DI
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."1092Please respect copyright.PENANANKmkL0jTsU
"Thanks, Lee."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAuE1iztVCXj
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ05DlwFO1
Lee cut the line and I 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA5djfgF0Riq
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike1092Please respect copyright.PENANA6qVDfvGywX
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 1092Please respect copyright.PENANASGD7L3xPLD
into them with the trolley.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAjsBAgXVmP5
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANANUrYLI9aPE
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAMBCVGXJ2xU
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAf4XMGky5ma
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGskUIHJgyC
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAaUFqZSTs21
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAzvemxIYWNF
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAd0lBd0NbZ4
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAfPVHzJIubA
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANARcAWEQ2Pyy
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAE9doRnLgVx
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAQFPTjvgD8U
"Aren't we almost done 1092Please respect copyright.PENANATyoTravmgE
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAXMh0aDDbbB
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAsLlhAwrMqX
"I think we got all that1092Please respect copyright.PENANAQes5oIOCPZ
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAmaApnk2mF0
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAeR4Fl7wHVN
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9hG3Bzd0Wj
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."1092Please respect copyright.PENANACE7HZpv6J1
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANA90AT13YgjS
"Did someone say cake?" 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAEiCJkrORr2
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA87ZKU3RaH1
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1kSgaTsPDy
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!"1092Please respect copyright.PENANA8fy5VZ6Yj6
"Okay, looks like I 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAhhWudgdF75
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA2nlatgPXYI
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA462dP1ZUC6
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANApr1tpp0xOG
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.1092Please respect copyright.PENANABNeD1lU2dq
"No one knows," said 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAtEK600er5I
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAZwxGmWe8GF
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAh3qnOUoGsn
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.1092Please respect copyright.PENANArtTFwiJBu7
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAkdZdizZHlG
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAHjxreFD25r
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA0nOOiaODFU
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAVkG299FjiM
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAl141oxACXT
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAuvnSN5Dqmv
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAL5bMlqSiZX
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAIFg9gP64yo
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA6YAyuxj8Dv
"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."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAeumeY3VzJp
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAS2E9ErzcvV
We quickly went straight1092Please respect copyright.PENANARQr9rtRHL3
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly1092Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Ons6W5Sf
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAtIozAC8QCF
easily by passersby.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAn8FYekDGzd
As soon as we were done 1092Please respect copyright.PENANASPxWlrWvzE
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9ewWgQuc9F
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y0DORhWn3
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAtpmiLAaebB
another.1092Please respect copyright.PENANASxxg9E9arq
Surprisingly, as many 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAPBGMg2y8zv
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAoOiARYDydY
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAXbk2BCT37Y
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAW5BeFCZ3dW
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 1092Please respect copyright.PENANARlKkwSsi9b
to come out with were red shoes.1092Please respect copyright.PENANATA4RMNVMN8
"This is getting 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAUX0EYf4ZZw
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a1092Please respect copyright.PENANAB7CKGJJX1X
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 1092Please respect copyright.PENANACBjVfKDcVR
can't seem to find the right outfit."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAuDgWvnvliW
"Shouldn't we have just 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAsFm6gCjLDH
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw1092Please respect copyright.PENANA3cBmVDrWyb
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAlIkzL3c2O4
"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.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAVJY5PBmPfa
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAuQcojQz4yx
"I feel so too," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAynkfKgKjtF
"You know the offer is 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAcEVpOkSPIe
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 1092Please respect copyright.PENANATi7OKTbdnU
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAU752AVOhmv
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAR6PJCn4YI8
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAkYWGotcMhd
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAksWPnBdqHT
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAHmOx72AgjR
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAqhUkCtQEy0
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAs4ovpCwK56
"No, I'm calling Lee. 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA2SP3SoPIEL
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mw3854ska
phone began to ring at the under end.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAZztqgRnCXW
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAaZYvVwnpH9
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYmxsXGWNJs
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAl7RftiDixx
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAA87EpdimA2
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAyW1e8qmKOU
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAhah02H7Pk8
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAvD3qMjjztq
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAsXvbUhyday
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAxM1qvCSGHG
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYyB0DxJ6Fq
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAD06d8njvf9
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA0rmXrIzeVk
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAcWMlZkL3TB
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAMirgTmw7Bf
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAhxEWLtfmhq
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAFWpc4FfHPf
"Well, lucky her," said 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAZxiPi69ZBk
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAHAgUkIlCyk
like she found what she was looking for."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAHOaGs9Ol57
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAyDHRVEMgYU
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAHDTySR23LH
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9Syc669eOs
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAOma9P7kuEA
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYA4qlQ99CW
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAldahTcYLP4
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAXlewWK3z18
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGcw4JV3mHN
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAS1tGrCdN8g
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAPGmbOyUpI9
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAWSyFz3kpTI
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA15AICopGXt
"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.1092Please respect copyright.PENANABHuh2NOGoY
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAtv74pQ8ZpA
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAc7Lvffve55
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9vw00rIbWD
I kept on looking in the1092Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2bk17oUjj
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAwHKERN7zuq
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAEmBk7QweJM
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAlkhmCSWkJD
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYRqpXoCV2f
"I like it," said 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA58BFsFSoN3
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And1092Please respect copyright.PENANAgywxyiyzBD
they are really going to match with your heels."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAIBAiYbB1G1
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAVMm651FQ3u
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAxd4rmqiHIx
"I didn't ask for your 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA9HkbJmOchh
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 1092Please respect copyright.PENANASshTo0lEhI
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."1092Please respect copyright.PENANARsSVZXnOhE
"But I bet she looked more prettier."1092Please respect copyright.PENANABmBo0M3TZ2
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAdFnirjqz1C
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."1092Please respect copyright.PENANANcLtoJddHV
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAOqq3iGYh5a
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAam0aNJP1BG
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAAh17Kanuom
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAOdJSIZLMDQ
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAE7C2ZkPOKK
Christine ran off to the1092Please respect copyright.PENANAAhF0ekMh0Q
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA7fxxvvq1Ft
her hand and back in her usual clothes.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAOesGsC2InG
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA0IoMDYrlpN
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAaUHnkj49Ds
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAQrQAkdy28L
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAXaNrILFUMf
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAlPnk3KCmCS
"I feel the last four 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ig5hPvMT
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAjDczVL6nwL
out a red top that didn't feel right still.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAeTE2EDISHo
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAkgqMJ4Pp1O
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAA2nRw22N6X
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAxkQFPw5NJu
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAu5TzbdW4IH
"True," said Zoey from the counter.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA8czrEiq94F
"You can do it well 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAoxWFslKpNS
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAKUiSXhdHwQ
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAIhZYESqbpW
rack.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAOcpHX8fNse
"And you don't have to 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGARr3RuY0S
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAhLI6rqiIiG
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."1092Please respect copyright.PENANABGlH9CPEIk
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1TqV2aiynU
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAJeLuplcX0J
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA2VCse6pJYA
"Me neither," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAqflCRPttOt
"Well, now you know," said Lee.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAIzEeYK3nVp
"Gosh, there is nothing 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAl3smfd4tqn
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAOTzQVO0zGE
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA8ObaTROWIL
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAv7dO0tColE
"Let me go in the last aisle."1092Please respect copyright.PENANArCP7PBchOL
Just as I was about to 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGRhQRdQYN6
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I1092Please respect copyright.PENANApPLktcGlyk
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAJcYGG1DvZx
backwards.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAyQqahYwkep
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA2ANPymsByx
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAfIcQyxrG99
"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.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAayHvPUsHhA
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAIZTM87n8iP
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAT3PmTW8aFA
I looked at the person 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAoeHSYHp7sM
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAdeOiqzMmGJ
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAVElpR9epaZ
"Hey," said Zoey as she 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAhk7i3U3Z0Q
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,1092Please respect copyright.PENANAqhWUcgxJYu
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAtNlaWIBzu7
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAVO6idi1q3d
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAdKrIWQM9lM
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAl5FpRFFjX6
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.1092Please respect copyright.PENANASgOxwFHQAc
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAJy6bz2Z6E9
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1UkEjaVCfe
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.1092Please respect copyright.PENANArXRgugUUFt
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAyjZYY3XfXV
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAnnDUzWdOCc
Immediately my two 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAnQzircQmkT
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAsc2TFFLUnA
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAR5sVLxt896
Then all of the sudden, a1092Please respect copyright.PENANAktKWgwpA3q
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYZOJmaFp9W
was coming from. It was Christine.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA8D0X3BvjgK
She quickly covered her 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAppAYCGZy4h
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGIibsJUZhU
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAS4Gn8Yeezp
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANASHqcso8ENi
"Spare her," said 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAX3mlt2AbbM
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGAd6fuCGK5
ourselves contained when we see famous people."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAiFchmP3XN6
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA7XIiIxbwV7
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAu057UzYtCg
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ojR1upyR
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAthHTzf9xAC
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAFaC9jMzpF5
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"1092Please respect copyright.PENANAZy4EQLPRkT
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAJkTUNvhMvO
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAvlrU7OiXgP
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAKRMekEw7Ek
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA5e7bWaow85
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANARgiCd2d0cu
"I already did, thanks. 1092Please respect copyright.PENANABmClkc88f0
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAFBjoJDsJYl
to go back and prepare for the party."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAkV01QakykS
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA5pLIlwleKw
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAr1PvXz9cLM
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA4aytAZHNSh
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAY1i4yNDX5Q
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAYUDR0Qk9hH
Joy turned around and I 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAyBrYGgdL8Z
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 1092Please respect copyright.PENANAiy0aoqQnGn
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 1092Please respect copyright.PENANABodaTnrjsh
she drew out the one she was looking for.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAFJ2wtOTIFj
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAXOm97tEUUV
She gave me a red short 1092Please respect copyright.PENANA3KP4BMHYLz
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I1092Please respect copyright.PENANAiyx2iPDFcV
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.1092Please respect copyright.PENANARRH1H54j0i
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA3ay4myu716
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ5aoZCtrL
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAisbI6DCFUF
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAjc5fCDM91a
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAGHqYtvNzNf
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAzHBAIaBsOH
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1lMmFLarxi
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA8jUhNTw3wN
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA52YlwzOV84
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA1NZ63ssWJC
"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.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA6x66gJC7qb
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA5a9keR4F3L
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAeMOL7bhwhO
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA23VX1wiI7H
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.1092Please respect copyright.PENANABjFSfadlk6
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAEvzeRplZap
"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?"1092Please respect copyright.PENANADVTJ85eM6q
"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."1092Please respect copyright.PENANA7fnhIVa4Wq
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAnoaVSDjnvT
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.1092Please respect copyright.PENANA0zjucteN4U
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAuu2RUfgOJD
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."1092Please respect copyright.PENANAPD7TWmLtgJ
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.1092Please respect copyright.PENANAl425CugPT8
