"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8im9vfkKy
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQylMGtaBf
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15zNOGpsm7
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgjD7uC0Mu
Collins laughed. "Are 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyvxjh4tGk
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29P8JAp9qe
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ8fTbeBZx
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.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oqAuH1Z9Z
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4muQQvaIY
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9IbhnXnsZ
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."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrEA7kU0JV
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg0Lp4wL1G
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9sWSMGLP
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWWAy4DG2P
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJLL12rZGU
"Gosh, what to do with 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx0vrtDkSF
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUluPPxt5PG
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcCrnOZiFN
end up in a cell."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZl0Tagtjd
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2HD0kE7BK
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4wO9cdEJJ
"We promise," said Zoey.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc7Ey4zmkJ
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCau9LG09vU
"Well, that went well," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3fCQdpJEn
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPE81xkAdP
"There was nothing he 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GSa0dRPI0
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSD0yniGgm
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA7hKcgB8Y
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJF3zxKVf
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk6LQ4W6Hk
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HavMTOpyP
The five of us all came 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uiO8jXKKh
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwuVTsJ5fO
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6wLsB12V
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm7CH3IipW
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJZxU6TvdV
"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."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGnnYbGkU9
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC1yeSbvhB
"Okay, then sticking 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUtPQsKJJH
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZpXCdS8dH
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXHid6V3xd
To make our shopping 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgmqWiTZZ5
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhNImhu69B
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKID4hQjdts
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkI1loyMO
the shelves when he wasn't looking.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j03et3yd7
We even got red 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfafVijG9px
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkthoT4SBGn
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63nxKSPAPc
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm9HRCq0k6
though she seems not to show it sometimes.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsa2GVNemk
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3XH2d96jK
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZo2dcu4cu
"Oh, I'm scared for 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4kfNW5qcO
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerzFJXtrGJ
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs4Df5lauN
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn36Hta9uq
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgediGuHPh
Mike did just that and 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE77YnXZBMk
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJPScj7fS5
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R3l98xklm
Christine came to me with red party hats.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhTjmG4kTk
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRLnIY86Qn
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOilnf11vK
"In case what?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6COrCijAW
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hEyS9Em8b
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQWObrMMqS
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdo29YFvw4
"Lee is calling," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vqejozIsc
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrqYgVw4PK
"You guys just never 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOdZVQmWu0
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqawrL2ko8
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDuBEydrkN
you're throwing a party."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcooV1HmzV
"Ya, we are," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwP4DnmdEw
"All I wanted was for 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv6FrKeL2G
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWYYOpJ5Fj
party out of the blue because you wanted to."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflnt27pXol
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJlSsnQVkQ
"Don't tell me, save if 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCXitubyH7
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QA1JRCK3V
don't help, Collins might just fire me."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTzED80heb
"You know he wouldn't." I813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQfJKAWpwq
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhjDjIZYyF
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxo5aRC7ia
beauty salon at all."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS3eCiI1UW
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VSXQCqRWH
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8iOHdNLw4
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu6AkIaTxb
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnWoKCKlmZ
"Sure they can. It's not813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wLmE6s5nm
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG1eCKviT1
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVVPMByx9x
call them." 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMXgK4bRgD
"Ya, you do that."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMHFLa9nse
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeJNRNXTIA
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtME4FsGfCF
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzsOw44RMZ
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPX0Bhehlb
"Red? Why red?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeILhsqSFIi
"Well, it's the theme for the party."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLmIGrk5kR
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRlaDMP9im
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRFOI3b9FL
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN3uX690sU
"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."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGDNT4Y1D9
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUjfTj7yz1
"Thanks, Lee."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDtQdzag5g
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DPiPVGvOE
Lee cut the line and I 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIZzqbRRO1
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQmQaUXWi5
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ebh0Xds3M
into them with the trolley.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJENNrwsXW
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y4QrKkJjj
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrym07Sorh
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWcNI2O0Bx
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CSfFhhYJk
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3vAoMcb7Z
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAqQ8yGxud
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4juzBY6n4
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyuEUsgKHa
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3qgNOXzWk
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rbmsxkS0X
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ685W69mSmU
"Aren't we almost done 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqGUPVAbxw
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5uABNlZsd
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCdwsDxBOD
"I think we got all that813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuJXUAzMeQ
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnLwDEYrvl
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfOrT2Yvm7
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn1U551q5y
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzeGUpOszd
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclE9fVA4gP
"Did someone say cake?" 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZuhT1K9s6
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEuM8OBke3
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbEUuWEaih
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!"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMEQ8MYsAE
"Okay, looks like I 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMicyqb8Czy
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Xq3oDwBS
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4MdXvt20r
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBYumaa3JW
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY6LKWPvyD
"No one knows," said 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcK0GOM72g
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwqq3EBHyA
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7raCWlmGAr
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEsanCCZHG
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFxGMHPTlt
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dm8tSj0zS
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Fgt8saJM
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiZLF1HVy2
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WLB7PxRc1
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsNV7OPgd1
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4N4JzUyp2
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzofrWmvIQ
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EdmdVUBId
"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."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8fTd9vLiw
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm6mI7WQkr
We quickly went straight813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5toSPiGw7
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBo1hy8iI8
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GKu5rp3BE
easily by passersby.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxy9kdQOIN
As soon as we were done 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxRZH91vEo
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O4GG5dKv4
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHACLG03am7
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlKT67uM3R
another.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNFrWpfTBT
Surprisingly, as many 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kUIIYgTMa
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMXqq9AXlG
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODKVl0SWgd
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC7HmkXjt4
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahUl9fQePJ
to come out with were red shoes.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUAokIxtAJ
"This is getting 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kmMQKIltl
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPWLiLYrqP
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUeZWPNIyK
can't seem to find the right outfit."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsZxZ7aegp
"Shouldn't we have just 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMPoJmlvUp
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc3oKubWd1
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcrQvbPN85
"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.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNPsmN7MZX
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5skfBAnv8o
"I feel so too," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCajWmxPDt
"You know the offer is 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QmpRGBJHL
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gkaFZPtur
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmPCdBaT3Q
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYn2oMJMas
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wuoRoAP7H
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehKg617DTt
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkWga6FlR6
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwwn0UeWnL
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsq9FPeCOU
"No, I'm calling Lee. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEbM2xisW5
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQcRgDiyLJ
phone began to ring at the under end.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sDbc6m5Ip
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaWsHDeO0C
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FefMoJ3jq
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ1ALjx0mn
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIioLq4v17b
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiHaMoQadZ
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ugE8fuqb
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOuFKkQGg3
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8ylJO9BiB
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWXo1iwxnk
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5xL72h5cO
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu2UYmRZ0g
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPEX1tWkRq
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknQpwVYFY3
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTtz7NVFQ7
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYHX1fZyOY
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWYqfaC0wh
"Well, lucky her," said 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6z1jDPbnx
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtshnaW1d
like she found what she was looking for."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXfBmG51H6
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFZFGbb3e9
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCULu8nVCmh
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpttQnGaZr
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFpNwtkNcW
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PuBFNKZCG
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhan44JWn0s
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBnnUC3Zha
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV98gYf5mDY
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0To4nwok7
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbou1RKlb2c
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPrQyvXyYp
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoy4QMamYU
"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.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxsirQlQ6Z
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbjL1WGS9h
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR5nadC4M9
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UnpDfMg3p
I kept on looking in the813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJvGMONKAY
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzNCmcFZk1
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfrn4Yx2vS
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vu9BlqHsn
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVB5JwpbxP
"I like it," said 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fNEybgc4l
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7MlwTskoV
they are really going to match with your heels."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibQGb3lhHa
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuToSLHw4jx
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCfgmpDSu3
"I didn't ask for your 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGepSvr1tC
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo3iLtqqKu
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT5ZNwM5ew
"But I bet she looked more prettier."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjoomhiFHt
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KESHqEHBh
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW9v2LBl29
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMtfmnrwZx
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNuroh18if
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4EjVqvL9B
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrh7npRkaA
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTajbvtu6l
Christine ran off to the813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL4sz63giR
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyPp8nclRz
her hand and back in her usual clothes.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tEvm81Zdc
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkROtravGHd
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfs2FNeKVq
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAg3VFM6oK
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquwjFF29Dw
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqczb5utwVm
"I feel the last four 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtlqgZLJm9
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyjYsn38Iy
out a red top that didn't feel right still.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS1lsCBCtm
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UuW3xUn2D
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2W99HSUBu
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdgGb2SB5Z
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNzrDYLXY9
"True," said Zoey from the counter.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7kieWPUvR
"You can do it well 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ul4ByOnqJ
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2pJGxBO2o
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhrMHhWrCV
rack.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwLNcoYceG
"And you don't have to 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjXWYE34ha
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu38t0hUnpa
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mvG6OrPhQ
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYSfLJdbug
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctLwcYWvae
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4H4tkFnd
"Me neither," said Daniel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO54Rbmq2a
"Well, now you know," said Lee.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkym9zC2dZ
"Gosh, there is nothing 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdRRcr7sz2
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhgDaQnLwd
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzOruWHtwr
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOFuAnCna0
"Let me go in the last aisle."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhXYRsE3oU
Just as I was about to 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCUxyTTZRF
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraoIEIbvvX
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUdrsJaNU2
backwards.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYSKk1anrI
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu6ar18Ax3
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO05PtF8suV
"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.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3hVxuUFd
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMKo2bJSfm
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj5pzhmzuP
I looked at the person 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2UISJ0lSB
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMfcS0hRBN
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFN432YJME
"Hey," said Zoey as she 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZVotObNRd
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpiSuAGDjs
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatr9D1FMa2
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7TrG9JPO7
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx8E2OR1Dg
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7VsTyGOwx
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfGJGHLxSg
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGQdqQhbuU
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Xwrv0mvC
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOZarAD3Mh
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3QPg29tAW
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoRWssEk3H
Immediately my two 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVty2EMdAp
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedJpxzkF6e
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cs1mRW6ir
Then all of the sudden, a813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJeCoza6Np
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXyJxRBQjB
was coming from. It was Christine.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayqOLSGD1i
She quickly covered her 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRi2GpdqAd
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWveV8Qc7T
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY9GB9l0yi
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjFbp6RvRP
"Spare her," said 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97QpbhhfKJ
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgaAQLscK7
ourselves contained when we see famous people."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoZwjb0sHn
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5ZlS7Jxiv
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxqc9czf9Y
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvzRiuu6M8
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXOYfhsjWS
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B4BcibVaR
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmr63ORHNV
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbV5f8Z8yO
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmLZK1f3pc
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ra5F3YGrV
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHy2jh37nV
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHmtqeNCjZ
"I already did, thanks. 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiJY1fI018
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsPXnvJNVu
to go back and prepare for the party."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOP1RcS5pp
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDefxHIxAaT
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzb7efd0GI
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkyQFkCeWc
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwp14ciOQN
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3JyjawLVU
Joy turned around and I 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF57X3QLgP
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssYkvmpuQk
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LjKR8IC7M
she drew out the one she was looking for.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOu9v1B3hs
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVKtNmcCOb
She gave me a red short 813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkNUx7hm5s
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlhsma0kOZ
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKIooOpoVR
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMRtRu40R6
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYbCeXMEm7
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN1lbHZqZW
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5JvVqjVyI
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlACQKqiWX
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53CgVyB55G
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3e8V6Ali7
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJDhz9Kak0
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLihtCDjDL
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakaZTMZKNn
"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.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzCuZCipKd
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGKNGnBUDF
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7CUW413hG
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4azQjvBiiE
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPffa0d0C1v
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINWXFVl5f5
"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?"813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0OQdgZ62I
"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."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSW1n7Z5Ki
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw00c9MLvbF
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel4v8g3S6g
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKuMHmOi7r
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZeDojxRlV
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhX8kvDcs4
