"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAKFufyWYYpx
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."553Please respect copyright.PENANAtRKoVHMbVX
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAYyy1a5c5Xd
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."553Please respect copyright.PENANA22NP8CZcWD
Collins laughed. "Are 553Please respect copyright.PENANAnd73TNhihs
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 553Please respect copyright.PENANAOMuxZtjgID
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."553Please respect copyright.PENANAGSCVQxUXaT
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.553Please respect copyright.PENANAyqkuFolzKl
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANAhVtt1mtwGJ
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAMUDVqWG1rR
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."553Please respect copyright.PENANA3KYCq8Ds1H
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."553Please respect copyright.PENANAtMdZi8cx8I
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.553Please respect copyright.PENANAXI0b8ij0ak
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.553Please respect copyright.PENANAaMKVvXRSTm
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.553Please respect copyright.PENANArgrbs7iGX4
"Gosh, what to do with 553Please respect copyright.PENANAlj2InWBRHF
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 553Please respect copyright.PENANA5aSpBcxuRm
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 553Please respect copyright.PENANACCnZzhHYGo
end up in a cell."553Please respect copyright.PENANA4pGr5G5wWc
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."553Please respect copyright.PENANAir2jwTkCLv
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"553Please respect copyright.PENANA12DcLjciNs
"We promise," said Zoey.553Please respect copyright.PENANA41FTig1AR6
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.553Please respect copyright.PENANA5vhVK3d1y4
"Well, that went well," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANA0MZhilFrWK
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANAdMVcL5e2Py
"There was nothing he 553Please respect copyright.PENANABNVvkHivho
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 553Please respect copyright.PENANAQubZyX5NbO
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He553Please respect copyright.PENANAbMJfNfhkTM
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.553Please respect copyright.PENANAWHep1QVq65
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.553Please respect copyright.PENANAWju2BXyVan
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.553Please respect copyright.PENANAm388VGge42
The five of us all came 553Please respect copyright.PENANAeiG7WPWiDq
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 553Please respect copyright.PENANAFhnuBRhqDo
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.553Please respect copyright.PENANAm7D5Ic5bxs
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.553Please respect copyright.PENANAg6XJnzgdAM
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"553Please respect copyright.PENANApkcbka2azk
"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."553Please respect copyright.PENANAfqFmBI66wf
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.553Please respect copyright.PENANAr3UjJM1N1R
"Okay, then sticking 553Please respect copyright.PENANAzlw1uqnweu
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till553Please respect copyright.PENANAjgjeMWAAjj
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."553Please respect copyright.PENANAuUQN4cPgyI
To make our shopping 553Please respect copyright.PENANArKwH32rSkg
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 553Please respect copyright.PENANABloGVlPkfb
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 553Please respect copyright.PENANAY5iPM9WfIR
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 553Please respect copyright.PENANA4tq69cb9YC
the shelves when he wasn't looking.553Please respect copyright.PENANApvm63DfPX4
We even got red 553Please respect copyright.PENANAVPhZEKkPNv
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 553Please respect copyright.PENANAHVcvaFdzCj
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 553Please respect copyright.PENANAkTzNoQYqag
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 553Please respect copyright.PENANAxMkHQRT25m
though she seems not to show it sometimes.553Please respect copyright.PENANApLYY9GC3KM
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.553Please respect copyright.PENANA6eegHbh685
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.553Please respect copyright.PENANA8VAhyArk1c
"Oh, I'm scared for 553Please respect copyright.PENANALkAlUkLzDy
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 553Please respect copyright.PENANA0HNL4AS1gn
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"553Please respect copyright.PENANADMGLa4FOgF
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."553Please respect copyright.PENANAaJgywGW9g7
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."553Please respect copyright.PENANAcDMuXrvTCz
Mike did just that and 553Please respect copyright.PENANA5xRj33zZhU
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 553Please respect copyright.PENANAaJAaQRoEJx
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.553Please respect copyright.PENANAeJFWAb5O8z
Christine came to me with red party hats.553Please respect copyright.PENANAbZhMh0Ccgq
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANAh8onsEJia8
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."553Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Yzn3gfcb
"In case what?"553Please respect copyright.PENANApL2CHMscgs
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."553Please respect copyright.PENANAmOQtdzmsLi
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."553Please respect copyright.PENANAIG214HH3dB
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.553Please respect copyright.PENANANiDyK77Wca
"Lee is calling," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANAb0Lc38D3Y3
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.553Please respect copyright.PENANAXquYdzt4m2
"You guys just never 553Please respect copyright.PENANAmKIekh76id
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 553Please respect copyright.PENANACUBzOW0hcZ
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 553Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2Ucl5oGbR
you're throwing a party."553Please respect copyright.PENANA0llnOF8GNQ
"Ya, we are," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANA3fyJD1wZnk
"All I wanted was for 553Please respect copyright.PENANAOOoMxlQhfu
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a553Please respect copyright.PENANA9SC6dk3OuG
party out of the blue because you wanted to."553Please respect copyright.PENANAeDJwru33V4
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.553Please respect copyright.PENANAfH3neOW9wA
"Don't tell me, save if 553Please respect copyright.PENANAbdVdMb8CrH
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 553Please respect copyright.PENANAPDsd68ydbH
don't help, Collins might just fire me."553Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8xEBbeISF
"You know he wouldn't." I553Please respect copyright.PENANAdRisihZEEK
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 553Please respect copyright.PENANAmwMAiFM8SZ
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 553Please respect copyright.PENANAsKtOyWpC9q
beauty salon at all."553Please respect copyright.PENANAISP3yur66p
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.553Please respect copyright.PENANA61x9aRxcVX
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."553Please respect copyright.PENANAnhtd927F9a
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."553Please respect copyright.PENANAth1N4ef2yZ
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."553Please respect copyright.PENANAY8htWmYnB0
"Sure they can. It's not553Please respect copyright.PENANALIz6HVqcsO
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 553Please respect copyright.PENANAhWXwAHEDef
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 553Please respect copyright.PENANAQxsRWxMYrN
call them." 553Please respect copyright.PENANAjX22ABi3H5
"Ya, you do that."553Please respect copyright.PENANA63wJASB653
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."553Please respect copyright.PENANAVItrI6qluD
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."553Please respect copyright.PENANA3bHejEPVMb
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAYygG9uLwLq
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."553Please respect copyright.PENANAjlHdjD5e26
"Red? Why red?"553Please respect copyright.PENANA2LE7q6F2wd
"Well, it's the theme for the party."553Please respect copyright.PENANAIqKdFnJ4wR
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."553Please respect copyright.PENANAxao3PFMBnw
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."553Please respect copyright.PENANANivSP51gV3
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAe4eK9DLnKT
"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."553Please respect copyright.PENANAm6utHC56wl
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."553Please respect copyright.PENANAz1GaW66deX
"Thanks, Lee."553Please respect copyright.PENANAHLJxLSJhOg
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"553Please respect copyright.PENANArPVeNPNK8G
Lee cut the line and I 553Please respect copyright.PENANAK4yXn0VCxe
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike553Please respect copyright.PENANAKgMdajXlW7
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 553Please respect copyright.PENANAcWDHmCBeMh
into them with the trolley.553Please respect copyright.PENANAPbEuJyCqoi
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANA5srVCWbPx3
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.553Please respect copyright.PENANA3LyftKETXo
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"553Please respect copyright.PENANApeSvcqYrEl
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.553Please respect copyright.PENANASUVd30f0vN
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."553Please respect copyright.PENANAuY2lWgUm9w
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.553Please respect copyright.PENANAnF8e3cfEO7
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.553Please respect copyright.PENANAejJDsWDGZI
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANAQlpJRh6E4C
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"553Please respect copyright.PENANABVZkA6xDNj
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."553Please respect copyright.PENANAAwjbo8fgQ9
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.553Please respect copyright.PENANAqYiAdZf6Kt
"Aren't we almost done 553Please respect copyright.PENANAIehVDwteDb
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 553Please respect copyright.PENANADqgRfeM70j
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."553Please respect copyright.PENANA8sZlOUUbbm
"I think we got all that553Please respect copyright.PENANAJlk5ACcAU0
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 553Please respect copyright.PENANAWUcKgCuBIV
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."553Please respect copyright.PENANA3TUIZg8t6d
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."553Please respect copyright.PENANAqJGrcif8cm
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."553Please respect copyright.PENANAFlNaMNjWxu
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAamkfsnelvd
"Did someone say cake?" 553Please respect copyright.PENANADdSFW55Hj2
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 553Please respect copyright.PENANAGoJO4jc9Zq
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."553Please respect copyright.PENANAim51AskVa0
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!"553Please respect copyright.PENANAWJr4xbg70W
"Okay, looks like I 553Please respect copyright.PENANAMrySR7tj0I
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 553Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lq1IPCy5X
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.553Please respect copyright.PENANAkPRFFzbrSO
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.553Please respect copyright.PENANAVI8Ez2MT8q
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.553Please respect copyright.PENANAYxI96gcJTs
"No one knows," said 553Please respect copyright.PENANAGTVDJmffmi
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 553Please respect copyright.PENANA0EPozDgutB
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."553Please respect copyright.PENANAByiHtOGDDm
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.553Please respect copyright.PENANAKHsLQvT8pp
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.553Please respect copyright.PENANAaZCwS2YvUl
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.553Please respect copyright.PENANAkPg3f6xoZT
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.553Please respect copyright.PENANABr5jyqHVpZ
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANApJR2WQJ2UH
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."553Please respect copyright.PENANAmFxkyyz7BZ
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.553Please respect copyright.PENANApasXp7HzB7
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.553Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q0DY2GZ3F
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAeYfN54sNYD
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.553Please respect copyright.PENANAptIkkbMxJd
"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."553Please respect copyright.PENANAENb9PEM02h
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.553Please respect copyright.PENANAfwwVCyIABk
We quickly went straight553Please respect copyright.PENANAEAXhhOPftn
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly553Please respect copyright.PENANAU11AeNos83
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 553Please respect copyright.PENANAiEbpJJLJea
easily by passersby.553Please respect copyright.PENANANV20jLFnZs
As soon as we were done 553Please respect copyright.PENANAB2UtZSdS8Y
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we553Please respect copyright.PENANASdtQWML7oY
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 553Please respect copyright.PENANAsGo0kw0ezV
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 553Please respect copyright.PENANA1apnlCE09k
another.553Please respect copyright.PENANAjOye8NlMSD
Surprisingly, as many 553Please respect copyright.PENANAG6VoYJDwsG
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 553Please respect copyright.PENANAbUAG2PUE7f
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 553Please respect copyright.PENANABjlR2LusQ3
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.553Please respect copyright.PENANAjfRDDKXCt8
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 553Please respect copyright.PENANAM6nRwgjegk
to come out with were red shoes.553Please respect copyright.PENANAV3Bh7NGGPy
"This is getting 553Please respect copyright.PENANAgawYtu57Nf
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a553Please respect copyright.PENANAH4JBVOuyiY
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 553Please respect copyright.PENANAi5colBLrtc
can't seem to find the right outfit."553Please respect copyright.PENANADiIjDAu94N
"Shouldn't we have just 553Please respect copyright.PENANAzUUVrM9XDn
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw553Please respect copyright.PENANAAGgteGToSz
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."553Please respect copyright.PENANAo2ihZVyeUB
"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.553Please respect copyright.PENANAoDG7OuDBbA
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.553Please respect copyright.PENANAKCexgxBu1m
"I feel so too," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANAKVtRtrGyRg
"You know the offer is 553Please respect copyright.PENANAh8rABBVpn4
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 553Please respect copyright.PENANA2vJfqV3I4z
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.553Please respect copyright.PENANAE2Ih5vV4Za
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."553Please respect copyright.PENANA7SjUclUjgX
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."553Please respect copyright.PENANAkeh5xDaG8l
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."553Please respect copyright.PENANAmo1uKMTYNw
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."553Please respect copyright.PENANATH4RFitTZF
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.553Please respect copyright.PENANApYr3l6KqjU
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANAjIRFVygLzc
"No, I'm calling Lee. 553Please respect copyright.PENANAI5W3sb1HXn
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 553Please respect copyright.PENANAclM4bpa45Q
phone began to ring at the under end.553Please respect copyright.PENANAfKem1rcsBJ
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANA0vg6nuiyKD
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"553Please respect copyright.PENANA3oqcsBclqE
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.553Please respect copyright.PENANAUubP9TkIQA
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAbdq3Z2YPSw
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"553Please respect copyright.PENANA9KOwcYQHAU
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAl1ZemXyPsL
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."553Please respect copyright.PENANAB2DURjFXEX
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."553Please respect copyright.PENANARJ8Grxzsgi
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"553Please respect copyright.PENANA3wWO2cJmgH
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."553Please respect copyright.PENANASVsPoXMuEy
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.553Please respect copyright.PENANAmhaD74FYG6
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.553Please respect copyright.PENANAvzFCfjP6ZU
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.553Please respect copyright.PENANAIJlcPLv2Im
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.553Please respect copyright.PENANA8SeJj90J6J
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."553Please respect copyright.PENANAHIZl3yRnJF
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.553Please respect copyright.PENANAXMblvzsQTm
"Well, lucky her," said 553Please respect copyright.PENANA8QM08UkKlW
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 553Please respect copyright.PENANApYtzzqzu57
like she found what she was looking for."553Please respect copyright.PENANA9LnbC3pc3H
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.553Please respect copyright.PENANArCx4Jk39Vg
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 553Please respect copyright.PENANAb5DFy7fXg5
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 553Please respect copyright.PENANA2iq07jS3vO
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.553Please respect copyright.PENANAszzgBbDiaM
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."553Please respect copyright.PENANAiiW1bIIvoS
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.553Please respect copyright.PENANABW9VcPe0Wi
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.553Please respect copyright.PENANAqNhU3WWja7
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.553Please respect copyright.PENANAT86ZLbi2OY
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.553Please respect copyright.PENANAu9waGkpqyY
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."553Please respect copyright.PENANAqEawa9qp3d
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.553Please respect copyright.PENANApnTCNaZme2
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANA0fUqVOtbtq
"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.553Please respect copyright.PENANAVdCH7hquvN
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."553Please respect copyright.PENANABKiK0oqVm6
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."553Please respect copyright.PENANATm47Khz9sl
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."553Please respect copyright.PENANAxiDkQIvtdv
I kept on looking in the553Please respect copyright.PENANAAdLBrMldKs
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 553Please respect copyright.PENANATXhk2EQeSp
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.553Please respect copyright.PENANAFezccq7BL4
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.553Please respect copyright.PENANAqHpDV6tkPx
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.553Please respect copyright.PENANAFUwdHv1JdV
"I like it," said 553Please respect copyright.PENANAdvVfxcNDTg
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And553Please respect copyright.PENANAWJM1EaOnrw
they are really going to match with your heels."553Please respect copyright.PENANA04JhUduKgI
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.553Please respect copyright.PENANANGunHuro8u
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.553Please respect copyright.PENANAZLaeIR6dfc
"I didn't ask for your 553Please respect copyright.PENANAZIbH77Df5I
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 553Please respect copyright.PENANA4LgLpd3Nf9
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."553Please respect copyright.PENANADSIT05sF62
"But I bet she looked more prettier."553Please respect copyright.PENANAk3VlwyjbTc
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.553Please respect copyright.PENANAowM4bnYhGM
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."553Please respect copyright.PENANAFi5iv1N3cX
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.553Please respect copyright.PENANA9QitMruEJy
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.553Please respect copyright.PENANA5VHd5AgCK3
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.553Please respect copyright.PENANAQt1dpMjGkv
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANAZf80To3Hkg
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.553Please respect copyright.PENANA5VQJre0GKv
Christine ran off to the553Please respect copyright.PENANArZtD5eMPBh
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 553Please respect copyright.PENANAlOz0uaLxWa
her hand and back in her usual clothes.553Please respect copyright.PENANAOBBm6mbUQ8
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.553Please respect copyright.PENANAXMfbVQRkvc
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.553Please respect copyright.PENANAWhAMXU75af
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."553Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ypgo69Daz
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."553Please respect copyright.PENANA2MFh2N8Guh
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.553Please respect copyright.PENANAwxIsh8BM6j
"I feel the last four 553Please respect copyright.PENANAWCXV0Nu0H4
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 553Please respect copyright.PENANAkgSVxjFw2i
out a red top that didn't feel right still.553Please respect copyright.PENANAOAwaWtUs7m
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."553Please respect copyright.PENANAuwfPTRglRs
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."553Please respect copyright.PENANADSc3xcUl7Y
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."553Please respect copyright.PENANALadsqsnj4Q
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.553Please respect copyright.PENANAqb9j6OPXZ4
"True," said Zoey from the counter.553Please respect copyright.PENANAlJVPdTQIok
"You can do it well 553Please respect copyright.PENANAyylOfImfpI
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 553Please respect copyright.PENANACQIPzFLcaq
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 553Please respect copyright.PENANAGiSWOhMtdC
rack.553Please respect copyright.PENANAOMrMEaVUZO
"And you don't have to 553Please respect copyright.PENANALKhxLqatlr
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 553Please respect copyright.PENANAq1vbLBmt7B
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."553Please respect copyright.PENANATnkwgYDqBy
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANAy7lz93oWAW
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAjOhTOud0dc
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.553Please respect copyright.PENANASUzq086cu9
"Me neither," said Daniel.553Please respect copyright.PENANA63vHErZ1Hh
"Well, now you know," said Lee.553Please respect copyright.PENANA2SPU1IZd61
"Gosh, there is nothing 553Please respect copyright.PENANAuCxDTTpxLm
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 553Please respect copyright.PENANAnl9tMXt5fn
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.553Please respect copyright.PENANAgXYgM19eXM
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.553Please respect copyright.PENANAM2VHD9NjvE
"Let me go in the last aisle."553Please respect copyright.PENANAMcxcppQ3SZ
Just as I was about to 553Please respect copyright.PENANAtQV8U7zjwd
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I553Please respect copyright.PENANAHY9YjT7cAx
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 553Please respect copyright.PENANA1iHJdt4K4e
backwards.553Please respect copyright.PENANAjd9MSExh36
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.553Please respect copyright.PENANAk3b21XtnSC
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.553Please respect copyright.PENANAd0ZGfuZpZj
"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.553Please respect copyright.PENANAXuzn4aHRDG
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.553Please respect copyright.PENANAGiZg7C3y8D
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."553Please respect copyright.PENANA9mLQWYNu14
I looked at the person 553Please respect copyright.PENANA613l7jd1BY
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 553Please respect copyright.PENANAmhbfOgPC75
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.553Please respect copyright.PENANAxiz3JZSZFT
"Hey," said Zoey as she 553Please respect copyright.PENANArkt7i2ilA9
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,553Please respect copyright.PENANAVdI9KGJyaI
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 553Please respect copyright.PENANAChxNk7Jt5S
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.553Please respect copyright.PENANAWywymjpWfg
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."553Please respect copyright.PENANAkMwEh7zyly
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.553Please respect copyright.PENANASK8zIW9B7s
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.553Please respect copyright.PENANAyuoltBo0JG
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.553Please respect copyright.PENANAyP3HyLdyRZ
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.553Please respect copyright.PENANAEprf8VB3i7
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.553Please respect copyright.PENANAL8oaTvqbNo
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.553Please respect copyright.PENANACZVXIWoN9n
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.553Please respect copyright.PENANA412SNgcayx
Immediately my two 553Please respect copyright.PENANAHHUBcCtqYC
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 553Please respect copyright.PENANA2uOk5aZ9VO
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.553Please respect copyright.PENANAKJDDuwflbb
Then all of the sudden, a553Please respect copyright.PENANAkKLIzZzK6g
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 553Please respect copyright.PENANAcbltbBn0N3
was coming from. It was Christine.553Please respect copyright.PENANAInDPQ46n5d
She quickly covered her 553Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Ghj8TowQ
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 553Please respect copyright.PENANARBTl6BKn3I
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.553Please respect copyright.PENANABrpOaNLB8d
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANADFhpN101zP
"Spare her," said 553Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ4EIGUDon
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 553Please respect copyright.PENANAruCU5uGfl9
ourselves contained when we see famous people."553Please respect copyright.PENANAWn3l1Debdw
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."553Please respect copyright.PENANAu0xjichvUJ
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.553Please respect copyright.PENANAVndUuA9up0
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"553Please respect copyright.PENANA9JN6ts2pJ9
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.553Please respect copyright.PENANAi7j29D4dhZ
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."553Please respect copyright.PENANAlYDoSsVIG6
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"553Please respect copyright.PENANAtGmJH3fXyc
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.553Please respect copyright.PENANAwG0jjvv6Zq
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.553Please respect copyright.PENANAsC1G0zIktD
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."553Please respect copyright.PENANAwJFIjdf92A
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.553Please respect copyright.PENANARfIDKPBMrw
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"553Please respect copyright.PENANAfkpWnhUz6U
"I already did, thanks. 553Please respect copyright.PENANAruxC2BZm5j
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 553Please respect copyright.PENANAHNYke0owwt
to go back and prepare for the party."553Please respect copyright.PENANAQjyykX1Xew
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.553Please respect copyright.PENANASVsLPgbcq5
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.553Please respect copyright.PENANArA3V2HlERm
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.553Please respect copyright.PENANAYokukGpHb9
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.553Please respect copyright.PENANAQLxsG0ZZza
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."553Please respect copyright.PENANA1JW5Tqs529
Joy turned around and I 553Please respect copyright.PENANA8J6M6Osj2V
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 553Please respect copyright.PENANAkRNP2qKh0q
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 553Please respect copyright.PENANAZWAIXlNdIT
she drew out the one she was looking for.553Please respect copyright.PENANAvaph44qOzi
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."553Please respect copyright.PENANAaBl9U15SHK
She gave me a red short 553Please respect copyright.PENANAmP5L3MuOOJ
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I553Please respect copyright.PENANAKM0ntzWdjd
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.553Please respect copyright.PENANALj2oht92hQ
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.553Please respect copyright.PENANAviQBGGgMij
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."553Please respect copyright.PENANAMTgTQ0EniR
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."553Please respect copyright.PENANAV2ZqKKU0VQ
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.553Please respect copyright.PENANAk3L3OE3WiC
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.553Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ6wyM2wI8
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."553Please respect copyright.PENANAquNC4cAyfu
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."553Please respect copyright.PENANAnRZDHJ8Cwr
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.553Please respect copyright.PENANA4OC571xGKC
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.553Please respect copyright.PENANAVt0bOi96rh
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.553Please respect copyright.PENANA38pwyEYpAW
"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.553Please respect copyright.PENANA4XYzlhsXU8
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."553Please respect copyright.PENANAMUIUhJApUX
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."553Please respect copyright.PENANAnlsw4Nrozd
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.553Please respect copyright.PENANAMq7H0r7KQw
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.553Please respect copyright.PENANAwRijF0Naqp
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."553Please respect copyright.PENANATcx2WA8y3q
"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?"553Please respect copyright.PENANA9BSsTHyB3d
"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."553Please respect copyright.PENANAlms0OzHUUF
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.553Please respect copyright.PENANAbCBspRB3h3
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.553Please respect copyright.PENANAMDtu5v2C4w
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.553Please respect copyright.PENANA2xHVbhUTnB
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."553Please respect copyright.PENANA33xPpayRMA
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.553Please respect copyright.PENANATdeoIuv2Mq
