Sam’s P.O.V: 109Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0UrogtKOX
109Please respect copyright.PENANA57O0CiZEHw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAe9AP8GnSKf
We were back at the café, where we had dumplings. It was the only place we could sit and talk, as there weren’t many people. Zoey, Mino, Lee, and I sat in one booth while the others sat in the next one. Mike and Daniel remained standing, watching what might unfold in front of them.109Please respect copyright.PENANAkrEg58v1RG
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9shO6YBb4v
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXINGr4nwQg
Lee, in her aunt outfit, really looked like an angry one as she said, "You really have a lot of explaining to do, Zoey. What were you thinking about going over to that club? Do you really want Collins to hang all of us?"109Please respect copyright.PENANA1dTtPoSYxP
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaMWSnDC1s5
109Please respect copyright.PENANApeEbFwryA0
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."109Please respect copyright.PENANAeZtXmIGLMl
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzngncn9Le6
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4ALfR9Z3V5
"Then why didn’t you tell us what you planned to do?" I asked. "And don’t tell me that you knew I was going to refuse."109Please respect copyright.PENANAJTOSZRRclp
109Please respect copyright.PENANA85QYwiCx2J
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtLnrvav6eP
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.109Please respect copyright.PENANA8RKWqFZfe5
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsvpFlE4QPO
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlsAgP6SsBM
"You know very well that Collins told us not to get near him," I continued. I turn to Mino. "And were you really going to follow through with her plan?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAjLlZzXs1i1
109Please respect copyright.PENANASz7uiB33ry
109Please respect copyright.PENANAg9CmTuIPLy
Mino shook his head. "I did try to tell her that it wasn’t a good idea," he answered. "Now I wish I was a bit firm with her."109Please respect copyright.PENANAaMgy9ORgqh
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4LLUApAmiU
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHjVWIPSDxi
I sighed. I had no reason to be mad at Mino. Zoey can be persuasive sometimes. Moreover, there’s no denying that he likes her a lot and would do anything to please her a little.109Please respect copyright.PENANAWtsOYqySHK
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPu1P0HaW7C
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1Aa8Od7Lq6
"Okay, now that we have Zoey," said Mike, "can we have some fun, like, for real? We can’t end this night with a sour mood, right?"109Please respect copyright.PENANARfpYqhPpaw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVWSzCkqC4R
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcM91thmJs1
"I agree," said Zoey. I quickly looked at her, and she covered her mouth. Right now, she has no right to suggest anything, not after what she did.109Please respect copyright.PENANAV0H9yBMk3M
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMIwhTcLTVG
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ6Bfpm0Q2
"Yeah, you can hang out if you want," said Lee as she leaned back on the seat. "I’ll go back to the car. This search for Zoey really got me so worked up that I need a breather."109Please respect copyright.PENANAVsevL92f5v
109Please respect copyright.PENANAG6LBvS9L9w
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7gBuL5dYtx
"What?" Christine came up from behind the booth, looking down at Lee. "I thought you wanted to try out those shoes that we saw earlier. And they are in your favorite color." 109Please respect copyright.PENANAFb5NcAHeGh
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjwxF6wDsQQ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAfJIR5AIUFv
"Yeah, come on, Lee," said Zoey. "Shopping isn’t fun without you. If you want, I’m going to accept any punishment you give me."109Please respect copyright.PENANA5LfluWpaB9
109Please respect copyright.PENANArrAqQtIF4C
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVcsecmEzg9
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"109Please respect copyright.PENANA51lvEa9FDW
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPLHkfvDPLR
109Please respect copyright.PENANA021ckARPg8
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.109Please respect copyright.PENANAwkk7JxIR6J
109Please respect copyright.PENANApBNGbzc2YJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANA742YKd4jP1
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.109Please respect copyright.PENANARkarWayDPi
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1qdvNjWnfh
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzOK3eepnKE
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."109Please respect copyright.PENANAVsuTuvzxKl
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeyu5Yvfkai
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhM2DvjCqqs
Zoey turned to look at me, and I shook my head, telling her that even I don’t know what Lee wants. It’s best she figures that out for herself.109Please respect copyright.PENANAioGfZU9Ivw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAccmlEMlaSp
109Please respect copyright.PENANAE8zLv8ChQ9
"Come on, you guys," said Jungkook, who now came over by the booth. "We’re in Hongdae. We can’t let this opportunity slide. I can guarantee that we’re going to have a lot of fun."109Please respect copyright.PENANAtxTq2LL9Hz
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnZEXOsefDx
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeRqRJrJu9J
"Come on, Lee," said Christine. "Jungkook does have a point. Who knows if we will ever get to come back here with the busy schedule that we have? Let’s take advantage of the situation."109Please respect copyright.PENANAozTkugGc4t
109Please respect copyright.PENANAm7ejAMTuVK
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuo8eYVBEO6
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.109Please respect copyright.PENANAaGfaDiMkgt
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgT3RHy7jBv
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtgdP8pMiWX
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."109Please respect copyright.PENANAdwwoxeMj5l
109Please respect copyright.PENANAd3OC71wtSM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyBq3n8YgOZ
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."109Please respect copyright.PENANAGbWDOGH0kh
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXyKTuxy553
109Please respect copyright.PENANArIgF03ib2A
"I’m only doing this because Jimin, Jungkook, and Mino are here." Lee folded her arms as she looked the other way. "Don’t think you’re off the hook, Zoey."109Please respect copyright.PENANAtnhAVC5pwH
109Please respect copyright.PENANANzMOQkSKuy
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyaHAEG9GEw
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.109Please respect copyright.PENANACZi2CldiaS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAphQMF4LcKC
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxeAM6Yy59c
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.109Please respect copyright.PENANAr94JtXp5hY
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9mQSk6n8z3
109Please respect copyright.PENANA98AFEnbIUn
"We can start by buying ourselves another serving of dumplings," said Daniel as he licked his lips and started to make his way to the counter.109Please respect copyright.PENANAceva8J5i7x
109Please respect copyright.PENANAv9DNeyTmZt
109Please respect copyright.PENANALvSr53pUxF
"Daniel, wait…" I called out to him. However, he was already at the counter. Christine apparently joined him. I shook my head. Something tells me that we might be carrying boxes of dumplings home once our stay in South Korea is over.109Please respect copyright.PENANAt7PgVfoudw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyAo54oD43W
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8YxTthzse5
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.109Please respect copyright.PENANAvmy9DMUDM9
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoyAXM2VA6I
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0qG3xu4jE1
After we finished our dumplings, we had to walk a few blocks back to get the high-heeled shoes Lee wanted. Afterwards, we visited shops that sold traditional Korean outfits, which Zoey couldn’t help but admire. I remember telling myself when I first came here that I would get myself one. Therefore, I decided to look. Christine, Zoey, and Lee were so frantic about it that they also started to look at which Hanbok would look good on me giving their comments. I made a mental note not to tag them along when I get to look for my wedding dress in the future.109Please respect copyright.PENANAbqoaVVhE1q
109Please respect copyright.PENANAte7r49EXt9
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3nYFkwHkm
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.109Please respect copyright.PENANAofaKb6GhKq
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoWKp4C6htS
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3JZstrPPgT
"Trust me, this is nothing," I said. "Whenever I want to try out something new, the three are always in the forefront of picking things instead of me."109Please respect copyright.PENANAE4m485xYHG
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2URJKb2u5U
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxqwAiq8ubo
"Yeah, and it’s annoying," said Mike, who was on the other side of the store going through the male section with Daniel and Mino.109Please respect copyright.PENANAgqjte4VNLu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAc9V2ZZaFI0
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2OGiUU9sBD
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.109Please respect copyright.PENANALpyfaF6P62
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOfsuVxcPov
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcXtm0OD4ns
"Nah, this time is fine since we've got such a busy schedule," I said. Before I could go to the next hanger of clothes, I stopped to look around. "Has anyone seen Jungkook?"109Please respect copyright.PENANArCrC14PsDz
109Please respect copyright.PENANATXUwAjWRZG
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXUqWgCfFZH
The five of us who stayed close started to look around. Weird. He was behind Jimin a few seconds ago. He definitely hadn’t gone with Lee and the others. So where is he?109Please respect copyright.PENANA4meQ4Pzgh5
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3a00eZhGIG
109Please respect copyright.PENANArwhz3njaMJ
"He’ll turn up," said Daniel. "Maybe he found something that he wanted to try on and is in the men’s room as we speak."109Please respect copyright.PENANAdkBWPTWNnj
109Please respect copyright.PENANAz8HZfIIQKB
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbYjQY0z1rC
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."109Please respect copyright.PENANAeHp8DdRv1e
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGcqaE43kDd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyLpVSPCjBY
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."109Please respect copyright.PENANAWQqNSjoa6a
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqwZqWgyPxi
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0w1xs7CgeC
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."109Please respect copyright.PENANAch6X0Vh1SX
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGvOtTY7s93
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQfkP79gX1d
Jimin and I turn in the direction of Jungkook’s voice. I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey rush to where he is. Don’t tell me he was also looking for something for me to wear.109Please respect copyright.PENANAGhQR6SjE1h
109Please respect copyright.PENANAT2aZBMcznk
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2sVQBmnnL4
I start to walk over to where Jungkook is, and Jimin happens to follow behind me. When I got close, I couldn’t help but see stars in the three women’s eyes as they looked at the Hanbok Jungkook picked out.109Please respect copyright.PENANApIuFb1zzW2
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5eGxCHpXI
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeS1lmVKfya
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."109Please respect copyright.PENANAZZIFphoxYn
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kkw4LdASJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANABd258PLQh4
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.109Please respect copyright.PENANAqDcni4S5yB
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4BJS6ASfwy
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8zY7EY0IDj
The Hanbok he picked was a white blouse and purple skirt. The skirt is beautifully designed with pleats and waist strings. At the bottom of the hem, there were beautiful flower patterns. I had to admit that Jungkook picked a pretty Hanbok.109Please respect copyright.PENANAzR9Ce4fY4f
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ9MggRNeD
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8EFnwU3UgU
"It looks lovely," I commented.109Please respect copyright.PENANAvKdU8QRT5T
109Please respect copyright.PENANAelY9QS7jcA
109Please respect copyright.PENANADwKBNS4kAE
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.109Please respect copyright.PENANAGZP5UrQeSZ
109Please respect copyright.PENANANdmWsLKy6p
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvuPAC5LtoP
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.109Please respect copyright.PENANAEIHs8S16T6
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOL7VioK63Z
109Please respect copyright.PENANAr65XsoyOX3
"I’ll help you put the blouse on," said Lee. "It can get a little complicated when you’re trying it out for the first time."109Please respect copyright.PENANAc07oqbNydL
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEW7C2ZKonR
109Please respect copyright.PENANAG5sgWMKsV4
"Yeah, I will need the help."109Please respect copyright.PENANAktOuKt98Xz
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHBIctj3jrO
109Please respect copyright.PENANAC5O1HsxeXV
Jungkook handed the dress to me, and I followed Lee to the changing rooms. I could hear Zoey and Christine giggle as I walked away, and I knew they were obviously talking about the outfit that Jungkook so happened to pick out.109Please respect copyright.PENANA1HmitCr0yg
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYSPTBtJH1D
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzwAgPaJQTD
Lee and I came to the women’s dressing rooms and entered one of the empty stalls. It felt so good to take the hoodie and mask off. In addition, when I started to change into the Hanbok, I couldn’t help but notice just how comfortable it felt. After Lee tied the strings of the skirt behind my back, I turned to look at the full-length mirror. I can’t believe that I’m actually wearing a Hanbok.109Please respect copyright.PENANAwv9TP3s6sA
109Please respect copyright.PENANALNESaFZK5n
109Please respect copyright.PENANATF4q8YSf3Z
"Oh, you look so pretty," said Lee as she stood behind me. She glanced at me in the mirror as if I were some gorgeous doll she had dressed up. "Your mum will think you’re adorable once I send her a picture."109Please respect copyright.PENANAii9y3qsJn8
109Please respect copyright.PENANAp6tzBfawHH
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6rEOqz9Qzs
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.109Please respect copyright.PENANABII7hp1kD6
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFhCcqlvGCb
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUVwxy30Qnr
"What?" Lee asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "It’s not my fault that you look pretty. Come on, the others are waiting to see you."109Please respect copyright.PENANAZEk3iIZKG2
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFPii0bO1Zj
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkDpNjQ29Rk
"Oh, before I go out..." I turned around to where I lay aside my clothes to look for the mask. However, Lee took hold of my shoulders to lead me out of the changing room.109Please respect copyright.PENANAdunssSfGsv
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjrZVJ9YcHh
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXAwmkoxCqI
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."109Please respect copyright.PENANATSfzyS9j2C
109Please respect copyright.PENANApB5cPJ4YgY
109Please respect copyright.PENANAM01qPO5PJv
Lee opened the door and led me out of the room. As expected, we found the others waiting outside the changing rooms. Christine and Zoey jumped with excitement as I appeared before them.109Please respect copyright.PENANAT1A52qY8kN
109Please respect copyright.PENANAw2nxdq5L1F
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3PO8Vb0cAG
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."109Please respect copyright.PENANAvSU495bJ5y
109Please respect copyright.PENANAb1VkhxLtXf
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsK6tOWHlPn
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.109Please respect copyright.PENANAPNLEGsCVzL
109Please respect copyright.PENANAagFWZbLHh0
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIUwo4QI5hw
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."109Please respect copyright.PENANAERzfLkgO67
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvagyhvVKZG
109Please respect copyright.PENANApBiY4UeIQ4
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.109Please respect copyright.PENANAs0pyWIeFEy
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXvc2h3OgzA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVeCaKfFzqH
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.109Please respect copyright.PENANAv3FGS0dJ9N
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6Iddp6mV5J
109Please respect copyright.PENANAiyeVq2142s
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."109Please respect copyright.PENANAgtHFRwLkiO
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHL7IOqxtNZ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYKzbxSxpgZ
"You can say that again," said Mino as he smiled at me. "Once your fans see you, you’ll be the talk of the town."109Please respect copyright.PENANAri6GWqOqF3
109Please respect copyright.PENANADhgwwAfeg4
109Please respect copyright.PENANAybcFG1zaPH
"Yeah, I know that," I said. "Please don’t post the pictures you’ve taken so soon. I don’t want people to know right away that I’m here."109Please respect copyright.PENANAmkKdtSowVi
109Please respect copyright.PENANAF6e0H2woTc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAz5TjMPACRK
"Don’t worry," said Christine. "The last thing we need is for us to do what Zoey did when she filmed you with G-Dragon and the video went viral."109Please respect copyright.PENANA6JavHkb7He
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3yHbQh03z
109Please respect copyright.PENANAg7lfVof0tp
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.109Please respect copyright.PENANAnGH0z0sWss
109Please respect copyright.PENANAy3mcoZwc0v
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzsOygTjFjO
Zoey folded her arms. "Yes," she answered, looking rather annoyed at Christine for bringing it up. "But I didn’t mean harm, and I did say I was never going to do that again."109Please respect copyright.PENANATD0sxWAmjG
109Please respect copyright.PENANAiOEGFmweQK
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOa4QdyYjTJ
I saw Daniel, Mike, and Christine give Zoey a look, and I knew what they were thinking. It’s funny how Zoey could’ve remembered that. She usually doesn't, and there are times when you have to remind her. Anyway, it hasn't been too long since the incident happened.109Please respect copyright.PENANAXGBvag2Xcf
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJL65Bzy6LQ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAodXX8clBmK
"Smile here for the camera," said Jimin as he also had his phone out to take a picture. "You really did good choosing this Hanbok for her, Jungkook."109Please respect copyright.PENANAN8agGdkmKP
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlclb7Yu6oN
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvKP09g7Tqp
All Jungkook could do was smile under that facemask of his, which wasn’t hard to notice; just like everyone else, he was looking at me. The look in his eyes showed that he was proud of himself for picking out the Hanbok.109Please respect copyright.PENANAPjWHgUQNLb
109Please respect copyright.PENANAi2WyfT0cSa
109Please respect copyright.PENANAefP1QKjY54
"Thanks so much for picking this outfit for me, Jungkook," I said. "It’s really lovely. Not to mention that I just love the color purple."109Please respect copyright.PENANA52pHXknfUF
109Please respect copyright.PENANASVCIp6Xo2r
109Please respect copyright.PENANANaQYDCvVrr
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."109Please respect copyright.PENANAuBh6ULUXff
109Please respect copyright.PENANANNCup3LWwH
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVx66GQSWWf
I blushed, and for some reason, I thought of quickly turning away, especially when Christine and Zoey nudged at each other. I wish I could hit them on the head to stop them from mocking me.109Please respect copyright.PENANANAg5aOdmXL
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEtNdiQvj1k
109Please respect copyright.PENANAF6DnGa6N1M
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.109Please respect copyright.PENANA0xnO9mPNPL
109Please respect copyright.PENANATWri1xZOPk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAn5ZzUfbWOS
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."109Please respect copyright.PENANAiEfx2R7f8b
109Please respect copyright.PENANAC8lcixPWbW
109Please respect copyright.PENANARj1aReVARC
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAzEeJP5XUca
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnd6oWnemVc
109Please respect copyright.PENANALKEWuHGoCU
Zoey and Christine replied no. As though they were photographers, they quickly took pictures. Others thought of taking photos with me still dressed in the Hanbok. Each person took a picture with me. Then we all took a photo together, with Mino being the one holding the camera and taking the selfie with everyone behind him.109Please respect copyright.PENANADRnEiOut91
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2C0J0VbPs
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdDpn0LqhKg
Afterwards, I went to change back into my clothes, with Lee helping me out again. When we came out of the changing room, we found that the others had dispersed to different parts of the store. I heard Zoey and Christine talking over which traditional attire to choose from.109Please respect copyright.PENANA58cbf5RFnN
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEarqPbKUAs
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8YXqiE70RW
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.109Please respect copyright.PENANAwmneHneu9W
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcYDe63ReI0
109Please respect copyright.PENANAi8hnwaI55O
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANA6BttIdltwe
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJXQ7qEVOLV
109Please respect copyright.PENANAs7vTvPPZIi
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."109Please respect copyright.PENANAV7RWxXMhME
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhp2GdgQTka
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbDfonHsZ6h
I would’ve agreed with her, but that sent me blushing somehow. It was sweet of Jungkook to find me such a pretty Hanbok. I just wish Zoey and Christine wouldn't mock me about it.109Please respect copyright.PENANAZ410fvgPUx
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlnflq13b9m
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqa5gn5HXvG
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.109Please respect copyright.PENANAxSczBbz2Eu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJXWujzURku
109Please respect copyright.PENANADbDwadKedT
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAheHhLbn1H9
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbJZN5yUahc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtnIHUVIkCi
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."109Please respect copyright.PENANAHduzBD4Xls
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXGf5DviBER
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIXrlDeddld
"Point taken," I said.109Please respect copyright.PENANAicBZ4gAsey
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbcqCuxJF4a
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVOQukYfXsJ
When we got to the counter and paid for the Hanbok, the rest of the others joined us. I started to look around for Christine and Zoey, but they were nowhere near the female clothes section. Did they find outfits and decide to go try them?109Please respect copyright.PENANAZi8pZ9IoJp
109Please respect copyright.PENANApNMsHPjXJe

"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.109Please respect copyright.PENANASx1zbYy1B7

109Please respect copyright.PENANAo9eRD5HCoj
Jimin shook his head. "I wasn't paying attention," he answered.109Please respect copyright.PENANAD4ZFHvzWPH
109Please respect copyright.PENANAi5egT9Q5bc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuoPwfwNXC5
"I’ll go and check on them," said Lee.109Please respect copyright.PENANAbFAf3UpmBx
109Please respect copyright.PENANAK5MqJvfvVP
109Please respect copyright.PENANAk3lKvXnWG2
Lee left, making her way to the changing rooms.109Please respect copyright.PENANAVnVBHb373b

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAXpvuK1eYsB
109Please respect copyright.PENANASy1eJ6yzJt
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQseof47w3Y
"To be honest, I never thought of it," I said as I looked at the Hanbok, now packed in a black garment bag. "Maybe I should."109Please respect copyright.PENANAp1W2X3YwIu
109Please respect copyright.PENANASIokC1PQLK
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqjc4EINlbK
A woman by the counter said, "There are some shoes that you can look at. I suggest you get the white ones to match the dress."109Please respect copyright.PENANA2kyYtzwSdc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUOgrHDR9sr
109Please respect copyright.PENANASQQIDFpT33
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.109Please respect copyright.PENANAja2QwRwSYk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEuvM62W62J
109Please respect copyright.PENANAfVpZLu17qJ
I gave him a nod of my head, and we went over to the shoe section, not far from the counter. Jimin and Mino had nothing to do, so they joined us. Mike and Daniel decided to look around a little.109Please respect copyright.PENANA5gLqEFWldQ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFmT7sYM1Sk
109Please respect copyright.PENANATZ3F28mNOx
With Jimin and Mino around, I discovered there were three types of women’s shoes that could go with a Hanbok. Kkotshin, which are silk shoes with flowery embroidery. Unhye are low-cut silk shoes decorated with cloud-shaped silk pieces. Then there are dinghy, which are low-cut leather shoes with scroll patterns. There were all pretty shoes, which made it difficult to pick. Even with the others’ help, they were having a hard time choosing. I noticed how much time had passed while looking for a pair of shoes and how long Lee had been gone to look for the girls.109Please respect copyright.PENANAnMxvOl1Bas
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPWlHHqfdfO
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHjRpbOV9yn
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.109Please respect copyright.PENANADDTyje98Yk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIUXuZOfBbn
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6RnuR12ZtI
The others didn’t seem to hear me, as Jimin said that he might have found a shoe for me. Mino and Jungkook joined him to see what he had picked. He picked white kkotshin shoes.109Please respect copyright.PENANARSW39dF6xd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcLhdWYLAqm
109Please respect copyright.PENANA09kaASLs0o
"This will look great on you," said Mino. He checked the shoe size underneath it. "And it’s just your size. You should try it on."109Please respect copyright.PENANAG1m80z6DKk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtytoIgZS1K
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZC56nWZu5
I took my shoes off and put the white kkotshins on. They fit perfectly, and the gold flower embroidery on the shoes added a nice touch. It will suit the dress very well.109Please respect copyright.PENANALCqDy6q0pz
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkfVRC2pfvQ
109Please respect copyright.PENANABLq3deUCP5
After removing the shoes and wearing my shoes again, I notice Mino looking around as though looking for something. He must be looking for Zoey and the others.109Please respect copyright.PENANAiySZF5fz1r
109Please respect copyright.PENANA213zael2PX
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5sjsmG6iaO
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAbjJGeTJwpx
109Please respect copyright.PENANAStKLyBx762
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHRlc3f7WaN
"I think so too," I said. "We really need to check up on them."109Please respect copyright.PENANAs5o3P3u3Sg
109Please respect copyright.PENANAw1UUfoVnf2
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVFPTqfJYZM
Mino and Jungkook decided to come with me. Jimin said he would wait by the counter. We first went to the changing rooms. The two men waited outside while I went in. There were four changing rooms, two on either side. Three rooms were occupied, while one remained empty. I decided to call out to see if Zoey was here.109Please respect copyright.PENANAmrfCfPdL1d
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgyBgdAUXCA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmEDxN9ublo
"Zoey, are you here?" I called.109Please respect copyright.PENANAdNaH46ltCv
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8PRkCMUdlO
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4pG25olv62
I didn’t get a response until I heard someone muttering; it sounded like Zoey. Likewise, I walked over to the door of the changing room, where I was hearing the noise, and knocked on the door.109Please respect copyright.PENANAU0jea8hgcw
109Please respect copyright.PENANATkB0f4eJRY
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgkQVpmRRke
"Zoey, are you in there?" I asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAxUlj5YWONe
109Please respect copyright.PENANANWxaMiBn75
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmT6V8qJfKq
"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."109Please respect copyright.PENANArAuAVDinYT
109Please respect copyright.PENANAt3z4F7CDEC
109Please respect copyright.PENANAe2khA3iJsj
I rolled my eyes as I opened the door. For sure, I found Zoey struggling to get the blouse off. I helped her wear it again before properly removing it for her.109Please respect copyright.PENANAEubUWxFY3C
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmNrIgqZECr
109Please respect copyright.PENANAN0fzZKftIC
"How did you put it on if you can’t even take it off?" I asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAPK3ib4eDjk
109Please respect copyright.PENANARaiueZOq2V
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqoKtojjYk4
"Christine was helping me out when she left me all alone," said Zoey as she put on her shirt.109Please respect copyright.PENANA1hSjaSTGMK
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaGQvPUxo7O
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOmnmqE0vyl
"I thought Lee was here with you."109Please respect copyright.PENANADh7f3z0MUw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbqwzSjtRgV
109Please respect copyright.PENANALdVHzbKBcQ
"Yeah, she was. Then she went out, looking for Christine. I would’ve asked her to help me out, but then she went out because it’s been a while since Christine's been gone."109Please respect copyright.PENANAUzWAxtRYVC
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvanNPQ4B7z
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZPw0Tev1Iw
Strange. Where are the two of them now? I told Zoey that she would find me outside the changing room. I walk out, and not only do I find Mino and Jungkook, but Lee as well.109Please respect copyright.PENANAAxwkcbzNZJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeT4jcuo5uN
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQC8BAqJakw
"Hey, I heard about Christine," I said. "Did you find her?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAAI513Pd2js
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6P3nDSCWVD
109Please respect copyright.PENANADOPrAgPGY1
"No," Lee answered. "I checked the women’s room, and I made one more sweep around the shop, but nothing. She’s not here."109Please respect copyright.PENANAvDvPgtT9C9
109Please respect copyright.PENANANtqviLiKgi
109Please respect copyright.PENANAU6R5q0kReb
"Strange," said Mino. "Where could she have gone?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAVoCN7LziPG
109Please respect copyright.PENANAM47lLneyAo
109Please respect copyright.PENANA967oGLsm4M
"Have you tried calling her phone?" I asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAgKr28Arwnd

109Please respect copyright.PENANAUD8pzqDjJF
"Let me try doing that now," said Lee as she pulled out her phone.109Please respect copyright.PENANAb4KfWmsbO5
109Please respect copyright.PENANApbiwBW7ngS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzcKkp41A4y
Mike and Daniel came to join us. "Still no sign of the girls?" Mike asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAnWWRI4pCl4
109Please respect copyright.PENANAiokTPRzOoy
109Please respect copyright.PENANAs3QoJf1bK2
"Zoey is in the dressing room," I answered. "Christine is nowhere to be found."109Please respect copyright.PENANA3CMA8lWk2B
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUNQAvvZU0W
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0inuQGofj2
"Where could she be if she isn’t here?" Daniel asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANADIcBGEDPiW
109Please respect copyright.PENANANB6NFbNhbI
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEHXhf4WWea
"That’s what we want to find out," said Jimin as he looked at Lee.109Please respect copyright.PENANAmMjMeresDp
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7z0uf1bK51
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlauksmzi9f
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."109Please respect copyright.PENANAy5C5Q9ZzNs
109Please respect copyright.PENANASxWJsotICs
109Please respect copyright.PENANAC7nGwTMGJq
"Great. Zoey goes out to find Johnny, and now we have to deal with Christine going missing," said Mike. "Where has she gone?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAk3ljqvgXrF
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmcLBkK0KN7
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaZbewN65Aw
"Maybe she went back to the dumpling shop?" Daniel suggested.109Please respect copyright.PENANA4lt6btHI2G
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIGHqDvO0IM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxMY0xEWWRJ
"Then she would’ve told us," I said. "This whole thing seems fishy, and I don’t like it."109Please respect copyright.PENANAaXTzom0BNR
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7bIR21IJkJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANANHTji9cq7O
"Let me try and call her again," said Lee as she tapped on her phone and placed it on her ear.109Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ1HKfy5CY
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOpsHiFXZ3L
109Please respect copyright.PENANAys4YztgqZn
Zoey rushed out of the changing rooms. She comes to stand beside me with the white and pink Hanbok in hand.109Please respect copyright.PENANA9oQhh12DOg
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnKgdHNPM5G
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtZhLNDxqak
"Have you found her?" she asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAYLSODM8gBU
109Please respect copyright.PENANArwoo24LsVj
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoLlu9jgkMj
Mino shook his head. "No luck," he answered.109Please respect copyright.PENANAKsvBbMqgPj
109Please respect copyright.PENANASdlPp17KNx
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIpxXjhRSdP
"She still isn’t picking up her phone," said Lee, now with a worried look on her face. "It’s not like her not to answer her phone."109Please respect copyright.PENANA6LlXN6UN55
109Please respect copyright.PENANAu8ZN2yHvS8
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVbK9O2UdOf
"Do you think Johnny found her, and she had to run?" Zoey asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAyuOBKxWZmk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmJq6IpTSqc
109Please respect copyright.PENANA11ISBi4kkk
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?109Please respect copyright.PENANAU5FASH3A4E
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjLi7l7mgHb
109Please respect copyright.PENANAK8evlvqyBt
"Now you’re being paranoid," said Mino. "We all know where he went, and Hongdae is a big place. How can he have found Christine out of the blue?"109Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dc0YUeflg
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5XchXIXKnR
109Please respect copyright.PENANALiZ98MJsHX
"I don’t know—a coincidence, maybe." Zoey shrugged her shoulders.109Please respect copyright.PENANA11ciDBavpC
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJC82x0EeSK
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoVhYYWxn24
"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."109Please respect copyright.PENANA8wWIaMjUX6
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5iBn4yieA2
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1r2juMONIO
"Should we be worried?" Lee asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAeWFNzK1PqP
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHk6ZXTFNwt
109Please respect copyright.PENANA99Zo44mMRY
"Usually I wouldn’t. But she doesn’t know the area really well, so yeah, I would be worried."109Please respect copyright.PENANAi0olEwmSHZ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjHBZjLivag
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3aD2a5rd5
"I just hope she is okay," I said. "Let’s go back to the dumpling shop, like Daniel suggested. If we’re lucky, then we’ll find her there."109Please respect copyright.PENANAxCi1pvxMSu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAi2jMWsKk0W
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3VSNlJDzAJ
Everyone agreed, and we joined Jimin at the counter, who had already paid for my shoes. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted that it was the least he could do. Zoey decided to pay for the Hanbok she had picked. When Jimin asked Zoey if she was going to get some matching shoes too, she said she would come by later when we found Christine.109Please respect copyright.PENANAo8fh2npve0
109Please respect copyright.PENANAExEzJNPJi8
109Please respect copyright.PENANASKWRrkfg7t
After leaving the clothing store, we started to make our way back to the dumpling shop. I really do hope we find her.109Please respect copyright.PENANAE5m5wB5WgL

I was walking down the crowded Hongdae Street, thinking to myself, Sam and the others are going to murder me for abandoning them like that. My phone had beeped for a second time, and I found Lee was calling again. I can’t pick up and tell her where I am going. She would tell the others, and they would definitely come after me. I do hope they don’t worry about me too much. After the stunt Zoey pulled, my disappearing act might just put them on edge.109Please respect copyright.PENANAq8dRfCjcwy
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeXQaxoPPNB
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJgfGWsBUu0
Then why am I out here?109Please respect copyright.PENANAZwkhakh82p
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPw6T0IoMMl
109Please respect copyright.PENANAV2AH8smgSZ
Simple, really. While I was helping dress Zoey into the Hanbok, I received a text from Jinwoo. I told Zoey that I would be right back and texted him back. He was asking where I was, and I told him about Hongdae Street and finding Zoey. It so happens that he was also around the area and wanted us to meet. I didn’t want to tell anyone, for they might make fun of me, and that’s why I left like I did.109Please respect copyright.PENANAK20Eba6aks
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGSRcvdhqYh
109Please respect copyright.PENANAecubpJAtOm
Jinwoo gave me directions to where he was, and I noticed that the place had many restaurants and small outdoor eating venues. I don’t know why, but meeting him made me feel a little nervous and excited at the same time. It isn’t normal, is it?109Please respect copyright.PENANANntPlbu7on
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMieElOC8ir
109Please respect copyright.PENANAT48Ur9FXJH
I finally arrived at the outdoor restaurant. The brightly lit bulbs that lit the place and the green leaf decoration that acted as a roof above the restaurant made it look spontaneous. It didn’t take long to spot Jinwoo sitting on the table in the middle of the restaurant. There weren’t many people around, so he easily noticed me as well. He stood up from his chair as I walked over.109Please respect copyright.PENANAPxOQBBNyVK
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXzQBLiCoUj
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7tR1Ug4NGA
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAVFzCYWS2vB
109Please respect copyright.PENANAteCt83iDbz
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqk9kWEGwLS
"No, not all," he said as he pulled out the wooden chair for me.109Please respect copyright.PENANAvUwRC4eYG0
109Please respect copyright.PENANAc3ztHTqM4I
109Please respect copyright.PENANAAojDvbevxD
I sat down, and he went over to take his seat. We sat facing each other, and I couldn’t help but blush. I still wore the disguise, and I’m surprised that Jinwoo recognized me. He also wore a black mask covering the lower part of his face, and I can’t help but notice the blue jean jacket and black shirt that he wore with matching black jeans and white canvas shoes. He looked so cool. Why am I blushing so much?109Please respect copyright.PENANAltfUIWVCpA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAN02mGdiDGS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQIhvh9qvbE
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.109Please respect copyright.PENANAdLjd3sAg9y
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIW6YHwNsJY
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3oCcM5TRfW
"Nah." I playfully shook my head. "They will be fine. I bet they think I went over to the dumpling shop and will be back soon."109Please respect copyright.PENANAn3xf2H7sd2
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9YLBZs8yJ2
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtphU9hl93F
"Anyway," said Jinwoo as he picked up the menu on the table. "Let’s order before it gets too late. There’s a special Korean cuisine that I would like for you to try out. Will that be fine?"109Please respect copyright.PENANAUzcfz7UejB
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMqeP5ycZDj
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7w4UYIMfWQ
"Ah." I was caught absentminded for a bit, as I couldn’t stop staring at Jinwoo. When he asked, his eyes found mine staring at him, and I felt like hiding under the table in embarrassment. I cleared my throat to answer. "Yeah, sure."109Please respect copyright.PENANAj7997SMpOw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUlw6x5MMjk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYx06yyy5iT
I could tell Jinwoo was smiling at me under that mask. He turned to look for the waiter nearby. There was one behind him, and he called out for his attention. The waiter came over, and he talked politely in Korean as Jinwoo made the order.109Please respect copyright.PENANAbwazOcvfCQ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEWZ1MK50Lo
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIyCeSlL1vG
With all that is going on, I couldn’t help but blush so much, and my heart beat fast with each dying minute. This whole thing felt more like a date. Is it? I don’t think so, but I wonder what Jinwoo thinks of this. Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Gosh, I swallowed as I tried to prevent a squeal from leaving my mouth.109Please respect copyright.PENANAxxu3shN0fN
