Sam’s P.O.V: 334Please respect copyright.PENANAfsmdS7tIqK
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjKxzC9IzI5
334Please respect copyright.PENANAPOy2e5DcBj
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAqmPSBilTyL
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjFPSVdgPSo
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5pxfRzHI9t
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?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAbKbsrqQZrz
334Please respect copyright.PENANA7Btw7QaKbR
334Please respect copyright.PENANAr6Z1CUTfEv
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."334Please respect copyright.PENANAlbyjvyHwsu
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKumtZZFVXV
334Please respect copyright.PENANAY53a36kPFI
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAqD7SBBsQHh
334Please respect copyright.PENANAStcLWbSqHu
334Please respect copyright.PENANAAqIkL9w4WP
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.334Please respect copyright.PENANAsM2hsnkZAv
334Please respect copyright.PENANAz3eZQ5LTTB
334Please respect copyright.PENANAA0FKYK4oKu
"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?"334Please respect copyright.PENANA8uIThUpQxv
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOFy15S7RFy
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIEneikEess
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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAedE1h2jYbF
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbizXiwURoX
334Please respect copyright.PENANAu4yQYxayaL
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAovs3TJh6Rz
334Please respect copyright.PENANAC8CuRSQou1
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbXu11KCVPf
"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?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAXwnZyVsnWt
334Please respect copyright.PENANAH48QXaoBxN
334Please respect copyright.PENANAh5215UBJKu
"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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAVOLxaIWBHj
334Please respect copyright.PENANAaXyRhShh9i
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6oqGNpTEYB
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAyPuZimskQS
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFr4msW3uKM
334Please respect copyright.PENANAK2BLKcM1vX
"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." 334Please respect copyright.PENANAOG0Am6Suoi
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ1bdy9Hms
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbxkpI36Vtm
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAqpShHPSRnh
334Please respect copyright.PENANABvCVM9UQ2h
334Please respect copyright.PENANAH1a6X2c1H0
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9cWu4M1DJ
334Please respect copyright.PENANARMIrxXOWtV
334Please respect copyright.PENANALJ41Qp8cxo
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.334Please respect copyright.PENANAoGYlhnhJiX
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxxXsEux3nJ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvITTl4k4ht
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.334Please respect copyright.PENANAVzdbGuTFcc
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3rXPbWOsBZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2dnVNbc1f
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."334Please respect copyright.PENANAOle8E36GXZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKK7kJAmaIG
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwvQ4oiv3jf
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAAMBtrnDOlu
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQY7pYsDCEB
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIxNJau096H
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAQfzq1w0fwp
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9gfEQJBIa4
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3yzYh63jZM
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAnQAOmT5sOs
334Please respect copyright.PENANApygNwtprZE
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8cPcCIDElk
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.334Please respect copyright.PENANAZAHPMzyiWL
334Please respect copyright.PENANAqsF1Yvbwct
334Please respect copyright.PENANAsIhJXx5ETC
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."334Please respect copyright.PENANACLiJdLuvIW
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjCLH3r0ZaY
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYNIWPkmex2
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."334Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Dmy4OScf
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvJEi5i1Uws
334Please respect copyright.PENANALeHHotwYzu
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAopsxbmt8xO
334Please respect copyright.PENANApzCfeYbwPK
334Please respect copyright.PENANAGyCZgnVDu4
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.334Please respect copyright.PENANA4RB2xw58wg
334Please respect copyright.PENANADsLjzSJ4hN
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUNxUtUoWFk
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.334Please respect copyright.PENANAExyrBJQ30C
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKPS3biGXi1
334Please respect copyright.PENANAov1oDU4mS7
"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.334Please respect copyright.PENANA9fzIOxvdpY
334Please respect copyright.PENANAnzOluSevJ6
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXNb09wmMMt
"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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAL9nhj0TIt1
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFkT1lh7BJU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYIUj56lO5R
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.334Please respect copyright.PENANAT3vwDuuAYy
334Please respect copyright.PENANATsEPmmnB8E
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4JUJwsePUE
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAfFsLXKwGwg
334Please respect copyright.PENANAD9vu8kRjqW
334Please respect copyright.PENANA7mcW4oPrJO
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.334Please respect copyright.PENANAsQnezgeD1S
334Please respect copyright.PENANAoaibkHCfP9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvgBJ03oumG
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAgNA8EEM7Zc
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2rcQNdY6cp
334Please respect copyright.PENANAPnfjdqxr8h
"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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAbTqtxo2iAU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAAijQburpb8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAao3H3PKctW
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.334Please respect copyright.PENANA7PwrZ3WJRd
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4b1srGYv3t
334Please respect copyright.PENANA1F18H4OqRL
"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?"334Please respect copyright.PENANADAT48ACwX0
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5fmxrxWrzc
334Please respect copyright.PENANABsajpOf9Wm
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?334Please respect copyright.PENANA19QhhKZaqX
334Please respect copyright.PENANABslUrC7Vf8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbxW1zl5mnM
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAH9svEuc0sK
334Please respect copyright.PENANAz6mm6mYKvK
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9UCxnfyq1s
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."334Please respect copyright.PENANAieM6ZjXRV1
334Please respect copyright.PENANAubz066qrkx
334Please respect copyright.PENANAww5YJORgYs
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."334Please respect copyright.PENANAP85AJUeD5I
334Please respect copyright.PENANAG4bX7saYSF
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6hWk0yEeAL
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."334Please respect copyright.PENANAE1JW7bcN2H
334Please respect copyright.PENANASD5dkomxMl
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyPZfScfiQT
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAHio86tyjZH
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8zZo1wAMO0
334Please respect copyright.PENANAghxJpYK8Ic
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAoqEeNnlL86
334Please respect copyright.PENANApAyUWWwuBD
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6ErSPFNTR1
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."334Please respect copyright.PENANA9n70B4UrFZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANANqscN3LgT7
334Please respect copyright.PENANAobE4np0tJE
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.334Please respect copyright.PENANAB9aB0FUzSk
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4XeRHIhepf
334Please respect copyright.PENANAi4lQIF3gms
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANARd8cl6WqEd
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQvcV2SdneJ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAl87SdyRLOB
"It looks lovely," I commented.334Please respect copyright.PENANAvo6P7hwXqR
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdvdLSXbn6M
334Please respect copyright.PENANAn8ccAyDrSz
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.334Please respect copyright.PENANAWzBFeLvUFt
334Please respect copyright.PENANAeAJ1cxJ1nv
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8sInWqgY8W
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.334Please respect copyright.PENANA5uUDHHS2NR
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwjWD35b12M
334Please respect copyright.PENANAj70lsK88K4
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAsCdinvUV4i
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2AzAc5vK2H
334Please respect copyright.PENANAMfurNlhLAU
"Yeah, I will need the help."334Please respect copyright.PENANANsy91tt59M
334Please respect copyright.PENANATrOhdL0VF1
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvaAUffJ7Xi
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAxWvrsJwgCA
334Please respect copyright.PENANAnETBk8xwdf
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxu3TkxGUTP
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANA3T6z3QPXI9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwJJwS7xDPY
334Please respect copyright.PENANA1Nc75X9SX6
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAdRFgWwEWqV
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5L0UT49Q1X
334Please respect copyright.PENANALcKLcVlmSZ
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.334Please respect copyright.PENANAx3rA7SWNxl
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbK1NZXZ16A
334Please respect copyright.PENANA48EcqiQbnI
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3gaPa5h9J
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYlxVlQaPCZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOmgIufwg5a
"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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAIOUAnTR66c
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwD3f0AynNd
334Please respect copyright.PENANAk7D3V1O2MG
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."334Please respect copyright.PENANAoFuiopgDAH
334Please respect copyright.PENANAGNSXHqFP2T
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOuOhvSDfgI
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAALruJ5ZTSA
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjbHmxFtcwa
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYfSAvTK0nl
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."334Please respect copyright.PENANA0GG8efoiMT
334Please respect copyright.PENANAMsyHeHme1H
334Please respect copyright.PENANA0MA3rTxqP0
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.334Please respect copyright.PENANAi6WbWNnDyw
334Please respect copyright.PENANADInFBCrs4t
334Please respect copyright.PENANAtpiQGb9lSW
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."334Please respect copyright.PENANAHf27HAFqby
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2FcCqLGAg2
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKJcpOrFpH0
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.334Please respect copyright.PENANAJuwCXNTlBH
334Please respect copyright.PENANAncxEWkXvud
334Please respect copyright.PENANADT0WxH7Tvq
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.334Please respect copyright.PENANAt68yPd5Puf
334Please respect copyright.PENANAukKP6YutFj
334Please respect copyright.PENANAMgTnvWLABV
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."334Please respect copyright.PENANAGpuCugptc4
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVhbqfFyGdd
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXLYoo4O8UY
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANACJR4KPmk08
334Please respect copyright.PENANApZQgTBr3i3
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFGJ4ehqxT8
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAEVdmc0bl0M
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXeWFz8bFY4
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2Cd676jVqk
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAthmNKNz2NU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAg1JcHdzOaU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAAYfYIykERt
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.334Please respect copyright.PENANAUbcREgbo7X
334Please respect copyright.PENANALVFYPrtW1t
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3siUsdyc4B
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."334Please respect copyright.PENANA1N8hg8GNTG
334Please respect copyright.PENANAX461JcxMTt
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4ePFRIJ6rg
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAVXVU8khv9D
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9V35ZTrbo
334Please respect copyright.PENANAitvLWOcH23
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAW6SRHO0VWl
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjH8KrcKGnd
334Please respect copyright.PENANANVYl2jfh5k
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAZwCPQpFA2d
334Please respect copyright.PENANAcrqBazhOAc
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXay848K2Et
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAbyCu5ieQsV
334Please respect copyright.PENANAJxvEkeG7gv
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzYWsHWNuOf
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."334Please respect copyright.PENANAqZa9n22pLW
334Please respect copyright.PENANATPV19ixglJ
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4GduKrmbuf
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANA5p7mdPkVs5
334Please respect copyright.PENANAHw7yC4uH8f
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2mdmKSxu2
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.334Please respect copyright.PENANAEJq2ISDFxE
334Please respect copyright.PENANAv3CunPvC1N
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgmO0WLs0Ez
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."334Please respect copyright.PENANAPuqcIOBvXW
334Please respect copyright.PENANAb3Ja2qAzWG
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWtnuoYaZus
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAg4pbC8Hzhl
334Please respect copyright.PENANAs7r6xsy4RW
334Please respect copyright.PENANAr3L1NMCNmm
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAIJajTa1okt
334Please respect copyright.PENANAfWGwjsXc8r
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdqqVrS4W2v
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAqpwpRSMq4L
334Please respect copyright.PENANAo6Afy5hom8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAAsjxayM3NY
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.334Please respect copyright.PENANALdrCy9CXcg
334Please respect copyright.PENANAz2AySaJxgw
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWercUvLTIs
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAtSEUgtc6id
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyhorUd7jEM
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXHwlwnLOMS
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."334Please respect copyright.PENANAJwax6Xuypp
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVBQcB9iX7w
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXG73BQmPHs
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAVlk95yqfAa
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOz3qxOodAr
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXPXGcE0d7m
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.334Please respect copyright.PENANAGwGUSmmROi
334Please respect copyright.PENANAN1iLVCtrxQ
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6LY30bU3vO
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAmmcqt3i4hQ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKoS8mxm2hP
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8PxVEMd804
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."334Please respect copyright.PENANABrV6XBSSyb
334Please respect copyright.PENANALlHRLph8V2
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKO87HoGKke
"Point taken," I said.334Please respect copyright.PENANAYYExJcW5aZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANANZmkYFdRpw
334Please respect copyright.PENANA42pzY4JkcG
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?334Please respect copyright.PENANAVEjrrFhh8v
334Please respect copyright.PENANAsK0HxcU8aZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANANV5Nr3HbvV
"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.334Please respect copyright.PENANAvgJtgOwmSj
334Please respect copyright.PENANAegYENiVyxi
334Please respect copyright.PENANAsmHRc13CEh
Jimin shook his head. "I wasn't paying attention," he answered.334Please respect copyright.PENANAGrxViJCIod
334Please respect copyright.PENANAE0hAzoCTTz
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdW1zlrv3dP
"I’ll go and check on them," said Lee.334Please respect copyright.PENANA3q0ghEJZe8
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdm6gG1kHKM
334Please respect copyright.PENANA0w8wBGCqQe
Lee left, making her way to the changing rooms.334Please respect copyright.PENANARYbnPE5sX1
334Please respect copyright.PENANAiw5C8iqa6E
334Please respect copyright.PENANAPYb74h5Sx4
"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAXKSiAPwwaQ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0aLzh13Rb
334Please respect copyright.PENANAS3kPsvVUeY
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAjzNpqEH903
334Please respect copyright.PENANApGe0JE8251
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdBSSzd1mh9
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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAhPOZoLqtGI
334Please respect copyright.PENANAvx1h3nYGKR
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxrcXgknDD2
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.334Please respect copyright.PENANA3Dnhj0h06g
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWkCejDErCl
334Please respect copyright.PENANAOs6a0VeoUt
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAhjrowUbx2J
334Please respect copyright.PENANApkxooc6Vn7
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdu6DL7VPfE
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAAdOiijLGSA
334Please respect copyright.PENANAm2lTpkE5gR
334Please respect copyright.PENANAifGtgUwSm7
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.334Please respect copyright.PENANApK6UzDHsFP
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWZp7XrSlRf
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyYZ8NJ59Z8
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAMOPnFrs5ud
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdZBxKqZSct
334Please respect copyright.PENANAg9C3AFbxMS
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANA4bU1BgJdfF
334Please respect copyright.PENANAabeKJD62Ts
334Please respect copyright.PENANAoJP9gst4Yz
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAmlusYqgH6P
334Please respect copyright.PENANANLYIz6KT9R
334Please respect copyright.PENANA763kbrmHE1
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANA7BE1ACpDRO
334Please respect copyright.PENANAy4JpTQvTgU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAY8AIeZSKBi
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAFSq1KS80QP
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZD63rIPm2S
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgoX4vtrKqA
"I think so too," I said. "We really need to check up on them."334Please respect copyright.PENANArtWfxIhkwD
334Please respect copyright.PENANAetkUiyTTTt
334Please respect copyright.PENANA0cQKTaHq88
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAsbChKQZUmB
334Please respect copyright.PENANAmO4RWdHFnT
334Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZhuTUs69Q
"Zoey, are you here?" I called.334Please respect copyright.PENANAE5cGWEAWsz
334Please respect copyright.PENANABHnVXjz10H
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUXduqx2xxj
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAshJQs2gNEI
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUisVj2gVfE
334Please respect copyright.PENANAkydHsfbGRd
"Zoey, are you in there?" I asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAJOvzKohrEB
334Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Rv3S0Uui
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5DrTD4Xc49
"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."334Please respect copyright.PENANA9BKmYZP68u
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8HwiRz7GEO
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbQyKKD0iOT
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAvgc5xnBpQt
334Please respect copyright.PENANAR5PZN9bZ74
334Please respect copyright.PENANALnpiLPz6fB
"How did you put it on if you can’t even take it off?" I asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANALVG5Sek1Sc
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxqgSZwSyJA
334Please respect copyright.PENANAI2buIFgZPe
"Christine was helping me out when she left me all alone," said Zoey as she put on her shirt.334Please respect copyright.PENANA5jFe0eCiDW
334Please respect copyright.PENANA69zz9kBxar
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4K8F0TLQ89
"I thought Lee was here with you."334Please respect copyright.PENANAuDhIDZd0ev
334Please respect copyright.PENANAHFMp5qFisQ
334Please respect copyright.PENANASJjeLgNFdb
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAwAPboX5tsF
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwhnRKgSMD7
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5PNkK7hJfT
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAXAnwz02Q7j
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxwHE2uMMeK
334Please respect copyright.PENANApC4PpcJqCI
"Hey, I heard about Christine," I said. "Did you find her?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAMi1SzjOLEK
334Please respect copyright.PENANAKThy6fiNnW
334Please respect copyright.PENANA323F0gCBGe
"No," Lee answered. "I checked the women’s room, and I made one more sweep around the shop, but nothing. She’s not here."334Please respect copyright.PENANAQOZ0VE5BUz
334Please respect copyright.PENANAEDsZSQPfEd
334Please respect copyright.PENANAkhFTiUD7BA
"Strange," said Mino. "Where could she have gone?"334Please respect copyright.PENANALuVGQdEhHw
334Please respect copyright.PENANABmcDa5tJQo
334Please respect copyright.PENANA39Yxai1KdF
"Have you tried calling her phone?" I asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ8DBQmyC3
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxBjeUn0FMx
334Please respect copyright.PENANAlw0HD17C8c
"Let me try doing that now," said Lee as she pulled out her phone.334Please respect copyright.PENANArSqgcuPVIa
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjpghGrrhvA
334Please respect copyright.PENANAedM5pmwVjC
Mike and Daniel came to join us. "Still no sign of the girls?" Mike asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAxAze3FwuTR
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZmth2L36zL
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4QTX9wfqSs
"Zoey is in the dressing room," I answered. "Christine is nowhere to be found."334Please respect copyright.PENANASK8JtL7C6M
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9LH9vbpi0g
334Please respect copyright.PENANAW1ji2JfuU2
"Where could she be if she isn’t here?" Daniel asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAJC4yRKmLNU
334Please respect copyright.PENANAuOaxJEBjyh
334Please respect copyright.PENANAaputxpgFUE
"That’s what we want to find out," said Jimin as he looked at Lee.334Please respect copyright.PENANAPcLOK0Ny89
334Please respect copyright.PENANACMHtpJfxwi
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxCLbFGhpGx
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."334Please respect copyright.PENANAqwFAnv6tEF
334Please respect copyright.PENANA73stoFKjhp
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3BzCmDrpN2
"Great. Zoey goes out to find Johnny, and now we have to deal with Christine going missing," said Mike. "Where has she gone?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAD2qaaNzUPT
334Please respect copyright.PENANAQj6ciy9XfB
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxzVYgGLGLU
"Maybe she went back to the dumpling shop?" Daniel suggested.334Please respect copyright.PENANAzzD6plfmxN
334Please respect copyright.PENANA0jVqWS5bWz
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2YvLno52Qq
"Then she would’ve told us," I said. "This whole thing seems fishy, and I don’t like it."334Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Mvd8aIet
334Please respect copyright.PENANA9dCXdWCCna
334Please respect copyright.PENANA09RVLYlSwq
"Let me try and call her again," said Lee as she tapped on her phone and placed it on her ear.334Please respect copyright.PENANAatJSOZzW5C
334Please respect copyright.PENANAEiZC36EUbR
334Please respect copyright.PENANAVfb5omYoJR
Zoey rushed out of the changing rooms. She comes to stand beside me with the white and pink Hanbok in hand.334Please respect copyright.PENANA3GmkxotLl1
334Please respect copyright.PENANAfbTV32NSMO
334Please respect copyright.PENANAFqH1L6v7Wf
"Have you found her?" she asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANADetjgw3cHa
334Please respect copyright.PENANA2fwsDNOJTP
334Please respect copyright.PENANAV5NC29tjQQ
Mino shook his head. "No luck," he answered.334Please respect copyright.PENANA8VDLBHux5z
334Please respect copyright.PENANAZZlG8CSurx
334Please respect copyright.PENANApl7UKYrXtJ
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAZP4IVXKiak
334Please respect copyright.PENANAgoty4MFRzM
334Please respect copyright.PENANAjasjs64lW7
"Do you think Johnny found her, and she had to run?" Zoey asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAYybir9IrpE
334Please respect copyright.PENANANWcb815pzt
334Please respect copyright.PENANAhCVCM2FBOo
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?334Please respect copyright.PENANAhoYAJo1UNe
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYZuVxHGcJi
334Please respect copyright.PENANAXnSuAGvpg1
"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?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAuQzQFAngYo
334Please respect copyright.PENANAj5m62lTVsC
334Please respect copyright.PENANAaxlfbixVvK
"I don’t know—a coincidence, maybe." Zoey shrugged her shoulders.334Please respect copyright.PENANA37KhKkM8PP
334Please respect copyright.PENANApRSHMy2YiY
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8aVLU4QGiG
"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."334Please respect copyright.PENANANhLMphSIl9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzKTQ7dJISO
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbWvjqawSDH
"Should we be worried?" Lee asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANAQxdEKNIPy3
334Please respect copyright.PENANACFN6J5zLwo
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3mKAuqCuOD
"Usually I wouldn’t. But she doesn’t know the area really well, so yeah, I would be worried."334Please respect copyright.PENANAg4IQXvNjR9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAudPjNWQbzH
334Please respect copyright.PENANAWNrvAN9Skb
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAx4VMLj1gaE
334Please respect copyright.PENANAtEpH8wEHhq
334Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Rk0hT6GB
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAuGTIY018y9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAR3ReZpj046
334Please respect copyright.PENANA5IxbN8cnXx
After leaving the clothing store, we started to make our way back to the dumpling shop. I really do hope we find her.334Please respect copyright.PENANAxn5URN7A7e

334Please respect copyright.PENANAfAtpyCf4Mx
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4sddq6fczE
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAr80ojR5W3v
334Please respect copyright.PENANATYnwJeM0fX
334Please respect copyright.PENANA3GzoP67lcT
Then why am I out here?334Please respect copyright.PENANA1byXKCzWVj
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzrxMZDPU97
334Please respect copyright.PENANAcz2ig4a8NL
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANA7tByHtEwQt
334Please respect copyright.PENANAlYs1WPXWbS
334Please respect copyright.PENANAc4s16jJLca
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?334Please respect copyright.PENANAe98oyZSw8g
334Please respect copyright.PENANAagqojT81Gx
334Please respect copyright.PENANAcBkGMlGFIV
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAVsgPqDVolJ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwxRckcA1dx
334Please respect copyright.PENANA4Xi6Y5sZCa
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAtya8G6XJXy
334Please respect copyright.PENANAY29YdJ9z6G
334Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ3SCUBCH9
"No, not all," he said as he pulled out the wooden chair for me.334Please respect copyright.PENANAZt2nNrYU7L
334Please respect copyright.PENANAapMAJa1cnD
334Please respect copyright.PENANAJRUPlTRg1U
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?334Please respect copyright.PENANAkHkeTKp3wB
334Please respect copyright.PENANAfe3m6IJAr9
334Please respect copyright.PENANAxr4sqhpP3X
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.334Please respect copyright.PENANA60azpCVAMs
334Please respect copyright.PENANAGxXMwF0KBD
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8EyorWZea1
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANAzg59tsE1cL
334Please respect copyright.PENANAwt4YC2IAkY
334Please respect copyright.PENANAbr1R0500SS
"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?"334Please respect copyright.PENANAiD9Zol1V6H
334Please respect copyright.PENANAt7SrVwiqvL
334Please respect copyright.PENANA0f1GqTKdyR
"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."334Please respect copyright.PENANA8oM6hkQslv
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIYgViQRK49
334Please respect copyright.PENANAMdvvKz3BN0
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAYEaMM0Nhhr
334Please respect copyright.PENANAUgzXkPways
334Please respect copyright.PENANAA9b1RugHXs
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.334Please respect copyright.PENANAbYDz7UIf8n
