Sam’s P.O.V: 110Please respect copyright.PENANAj7HnumOhY7
110Please respect copyright.PENANADMhIaMElGt
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnEGEEjW2hV
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAQzCNAzbH9U
110Please respect copyright.PENANAipwNVYiieR
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJjgACXYJfT
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?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAsgv2rmQ4IL
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZB1UIgD5sj
110Please respect copyright.PENANARZTsWRSnmg
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."110Please respect copyright.PENANA503dqJeUYx
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4kS4IFAoG
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHVjWg3NcJJ
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAiB1bfmG543
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfMD9Coq4pC
110Please respect copyright.PENANAScCzGYtE7o
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.110Please respect copyright.PENANArqdbFxPP2z
110Please respect copyright.PENANARCISY3yOxO
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlTvHQZ6SVO
"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?"110Please respect copyright.PENANATE5Uu0hdEJ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqxl6nhr14g
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyQGfmwFmtT
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."110Please respect copyright.PENANACcVIkYYink
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmMSvoe71cU
110Please respect copyright.PENANArCSY4JwQhk
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAJatXG1LkXr
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0TEEVtiTEV
110Please respect copyright.PENANAM2Chiu967l
"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?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAPEnIVkEw4T
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1TBXw87ehv
110Please respect copyright.PENANAR7trByLPEi
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANALUEJnQeBUk
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzkqwZULIyN
110Please respect copyright.PENANAruJxaSP3j8
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANA52EeWyHNrf
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFAkD0hCMi0
110Please respect copyright.PENANABvptyKMMLd
"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." 110Please respect copyright.PENANADeUHcT9yM1
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgS68ksAnFP
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxyBVOMLvGZ
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAPuiNkoUlGe
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3JSAppkQlw
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdczLTmQRh8
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAgOa2wkSc3m
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZRhZbiEhdG
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHSII48GHoZ
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.110Please respect copyright.PENANAvDa4PRNFY0
110Please respect copyright.PENANAn93C9XlNTz
110Please respect copyright.PENANAovicyaB4n7
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.110Please respect copyright.PENANAHpR9bnnx1j
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdMbDLPZLVP
110Please respect copyright.PENANAw1rpynTQZe
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."110Please respect copyright.PENANAb1xaOlnAyt
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFExjO6jrbj
110Please respect copyright.PENANA35mTaaKxLt
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAfDScEfPWZ9
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxvspNqAT2U
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlDH55mFVcg
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAlF26jlkuN4
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGBRQByqyD8
110Please respect copyright.PENANAO9nSICcvTl
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAIexpBZdWVb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgzdRX8mvpB
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHNKSTAfHUm
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.110Please respect copyright.PENANAwf3xJlzSCC
110Please respect copyright.PENANAG3jMNKzACm
110Please respect copyright.PENANAogtz9dieQp
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."110Please respect copyright.PENANAy75Rebe3jd
110Please respect copyright.PENANARVxW8vFSR8
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuiWOPna6jc
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."110Please respect copyright.PENANAOapAJXgMHK
110Please respect copyright.PENANAC9JLAkBxsl
110Please respect copyright.PENANALHMOLCo5iC
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAFQUDPskoYB
110Please respect copyright.PENANApiWGuhudk7
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQzS0zxjdcA
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.110Please respect copyright.PENANAAu4WV3A5rV
110Please respect copyright.PENANA35ObotFGB9
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgz4Nnel6l6
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.110Please respect copyright.PENANAdcvUYEt7ST
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcv9HTeD97M
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfhIPLGhpUq
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAPa9y4bdHhb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOAQt3nUIYM
110Please respect copyright.PENANAR2rMPvclms
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAL0sUQ5AC6k
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzwClSJ6F6z
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7mFJABEoRW
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.110Please respect copyright.PENANAL9Hy9dI0fK
110Please respect copyright.PENANAx5UnEcYSGL
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUt74v8CTDw
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA860qpLBcyg
110Please respect copyright.PENANABSJcpFc9Mx
110Please respect copyright.PENANAaVPLdPJ9zr
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.110Please respect copyright.PENANAkUtCbTYLoP
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9QnLNnQc1x
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoQAYfL6STt
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAz6lWnJCMEe
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5YImR7nz0p
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuk09ejCJgp
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAHSTCAPfTX2
110Please respect copyright.PENANAXGjaRcUDWp
110Please respect copyright.PENANA96UHQPDTuG
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.110Please respect copyright.PENANAw1ZND5MpxL
110Please respect copyright.PENANA13cEsaH9Ah
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgxIRSzBb3c
"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?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAZNt2VtX1tX
110Please respect copyright.PENANAS8RjQrAwaQ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvlWDFifUqt
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?110Please respect copyright.PENANA3HF406FrJG
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0UkOvlA5A3
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMFAKW2JISW
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZgWU8apw8
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvl6fpFUEjD
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMxUfIGEpNr
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."110Please respect copyright.PENANAc8jioXcnFr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGC9WTyZkwd
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdVLMQP7rdN
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."110Please respect copyright.PENANA2CUPdAjSiB
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5plrWo4gkD
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkgGHMK0eHU
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."110Please respect copyright.PENANAdyXRDRTQbr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxgBUJ7uBrX
110Please respect copyright.PENANA36jhcnM5kE
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAFAQkdEwiKV
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUVTN99imh0
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOodlksmaHi
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAbQUuhDS802
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsR0WIwpmHq
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxGSqrwIAGe
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."110Please respect copyright.PENANAKGx0u3zOO7
110Please respect copyright.PENANAS8lupJl2kJ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuj6dlhSsTC
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.110Please respect copyright.PENANAPtFwDD6taW
110Please respect copyright.PENANAir7vGA71lp
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxMJ0OyAgC3
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAjtKPvoAslu
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUv3IhKL6xf
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZQQ66JBDHm
"It looks lovely," I commented.110Please respect copyright.PENANA8YvsmfowYo
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiK16mA2UsQ
110Please respect copyright.PENANApyYQp2k42q
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.110Please respect copyright.PENANAB6C68k17pm
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiA4CqswbEj
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxtExfM3yvo
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.110Please respect copyright.PENANAsiCehVvvIg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Z8EiwZXH
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkWrEoz2Ton
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANASpDZWiDYsR
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYiQu1numlb
110Please respect copyright.PENANANgvswqQKKF
"Yeah, I will need the help."110Please respect copyright.PENANAyAwSH7vscV
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKZS90nnrpH
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0LnYqOFFmg
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAEAWdBYnYKU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcz3ING6WMI
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZptKItdYwV
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANADKD1JgJqli
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyJrWVWvz2m
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHDhVIdKzF4
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAa8WhFEYc3y
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGYSr43MEkr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiXm6zxFXdy
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.110Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8zeu8Jha2
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQQJBLrFYvi
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZHaprTvA1k
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAW80kQ8X6h5
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqE1ya12bqP
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKLdEjJ10BP
"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.110Please respect copyright.PENANA5OJ7feYpWt
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQkF5n2PJFu
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwQEizcl8Ol
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."110Please respect copyright.PENANAEfkIQwRTW5
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPyATGwLJXT
110Please respect copyright.PENANANixH08uMem
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAdiAnYrxHy7
110Please respect copyright.PENANALuS4ARkPnx
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOC5nH0Wcxs
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."110Please respect copyright.PENANAnwqbQuy38J
110Please respect copyright.PENANAEWoFioonOU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHq0uGGt2ro
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.110Please respect copyright.PENANAZsI4SPWNYq
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbBBTzXCEir
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHYtJgH762Q
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."110Please respect copyright.PENANAaFWm1BVA9u
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWan1Mx0IMK
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7zNKby1dqv
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.110Please respect copyright.PENANA1gQbWEZRkr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAu1WaN5IeeA
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp7kwSLB20P
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.110Please respect copyright.PENANApaKZ1JpdzF
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1HXfReZ1zX
110Please respect copyright.PENANAt6kvlY3oKE
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."110Please respect copyright.PENANAMcBtPdvZZO
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVf2R5Q1iSX
110Please respect copyright.PENANApwM0xFxFOd
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANA512qJLhEMF
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlTYcYWEu2Z
110Please respect copyright.PENANANQXUG4fnsF
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAtqGgy0XeIw
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3W0T17sCt
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMJFqqR0m88
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAmVA5XHq9gi
110Please respect copyright.PENANAor5loMyuR3
110Please respect copyright.PENANARwUbvNEhn8
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.110Please respect copyright.PENANAHibRC2KJxr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAXwOuj3GsxI
110Please respect copyright.PENANA90FrtfKseT
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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAYpnuCUIsPo
110Please respect copyright.PENANAMxntRFseUb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmNOzugskYI
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAcda6COL1OE
110Please respect copyright.PENANAX67R7bWShO
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdwvbSjhl60
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xrrojc6qV
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtPfdT4LAQd
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1cpJCz7Bst
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAFqdt16gwtW
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7cK4AToR12
110Please respect copyright.PENANAel8vrTLILD
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAQNoENmgEmn
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyfyZBykBYU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHHvQXnReQ5
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."110Please respect copyright.PENANAlPKNUWi4BW
110Please respect copyright.PENANADQrjR51sKI
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8356PdfkGd
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAt64bjpF8QF
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0xmC3XdmAS
110Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ZCkeGgRe
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.110Please respect copyright.PENANAeYjfztJcsV
110Please respect copyright.PENANALFvgcz3NfC
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyYQZIhgFJC
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."110Please respect copyright.PENANAyck7HkJTdN
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlzstCn7Gsx
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtgA9LOnP8f
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"110Please respect copyright.PENANA0WBozO3X8f
110Please respect copyright.PENANApd3NDCZVWd
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4jK1W3gHu2
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAxd3yT736t6
110Please respect copyright.PENANAhaEi8Ypyaz
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5TDbxhxowV
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAvH8I87xP9w
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGKztXLOAfB
110Please respect copyright.PENANALSCOdBG1fD
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.110Please respect copyright.PENANAiY41Xsc4hm
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHKBDBWftCl
110Please respect copyright.PENANABJuVfd8l4r
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANA3I6qgeZhF5
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtJOMSpl2kI
110Please respect copyright.PENANAihfNNQESFR
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."110Please respect copyright.PENANA1ygQA8gD1e
110Please respect copyright.PENANArHlk06hrYw
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbt8NhoBjNV
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAkqgQl90xbE
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHcEKuEFaH2
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYfq9mKpctU
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.110Please respect copyright.PENANAME1Itj9vbq
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwsjMcnabs7
110Please respect copyright.PENANADSLLCkK3UO
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANArSfm0cYIBw
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJhNZEpKlkq
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbOCw3frTh9
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."110Please respect copyright.PENANAPNFxrmJgP4
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeTl6ndQgtC
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9VubxElnsH
"Point taken," I said.110Please respect copyright.PENANAGMFYzqSv0t
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYHSRbY2a6E
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUUAZP5LIcf
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?110Please respect copyright.PENANA9J0mn2J2JX
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxw8ewwXZ2T
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoHcffYFgNe
"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.110Please respect copyright.PENANAFXfFEgbjwY

Jimin shook his head. "I wasn't paying attention," he answered.110Please respect copyright.PENANALWmfsoVdyx

"I’ll go and check on them," said Lee.110Please respect copyright.PENANABaiom8I4lv

Lee left, making her way to the changing rooms.110Please respect copyright.PENANAJRHE9nhnQi

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAmv8A8oug3L
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKqs4R3vffB
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoPVhvXTRXE
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAAyPsoEVZtN
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4ilOmtsh8I
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6JVxHMSSGy
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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAPmX5RoWFqA
110Please respect copyright.PENANApYwNHB5NxY
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdeuqPufrmZ
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.110Please respect copyright.PENANAGc1TX3nyqG
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYS7eE5mjyG
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKVS5SYfwN5
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAVQE8noim8Y
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6TUe8o1jUh
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzKnzJn1OlB
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAbYxcTVBetD
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmpJVaSqbb8
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgVIHLo4F9j
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.110Please respect copyright.PENANAnvZhL8W8GE
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3z38KNMxkD
110Please respect copyright.PENANApQeahF6vsu
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAHAJ9gk1Fsq
110Please respect copyright.PENANArsCOqS2bok
110Please respect copyright.PENANAXo3USjZk2Z
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANANqXbIcmRWt
110Please respect copyright.PENANAcjsVV8AThU
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7l4iofg2b9
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAva8EK3qVIT
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzIpVZgz3AD
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwoehlLBBkW
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAIAFRFf7TW1
110Please respect copyright.PENANACXVKxU0OdI
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvzlBJ2m1qD
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAAqyLCNSgpz
110Please respect copyright.PENANADAXBRNAM6D
110Please respect copyright.PENANAr7auf0gTyP
"I think so too," I said. "We really need to check up on them."110Please respect copyright.PENANARvTJQOc4P7
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzvBovH0hiQ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeHbXQipWsE
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANASKFEXqNxxZ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOkA8bJDOkA
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWIlPI1uwWw
"Zoey, are you here?" I called.110Please respect copyright.PENANADPukcDFlgM
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5latjD9TfM
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiqmaXA0gJ9
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAyLjA64XvwJ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYkrcOyeup7
110Please respect copyright.PENANACdrtPuBUxv
"Zoey, are you in there?" I asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAykJUilqQG5
110Please respect copyright.PENANApTczL34pQ6
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzAE7678RpN
"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."110Please respect copyright.PENANAinN2X5etgr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyhI6lIUaQL
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3YP8oJlXMK
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAPyeKjwtrrU
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfINoXGjDSx
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGfiWeQJCSN
"How did you put it on if you can’t even take it off?" I asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAqytGoRoWpg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOhToOn8Yc7
110Please respect copyright.PENANA801Oev6g3b
"Christine was helping me out when she left me all alone," said Zoey as she put on her shirt.110Please respect copyright.PENANAegfFd05uBZ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAz9R3XF5VGA
110Please respect copyright.PENANACWl3qfwD4n

110Please respect copyright.PENANAPdlEbFR95X
110Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xzh0xg035
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAdk2S8ktC5M
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9ibvxqYmoZ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVkCE0RpawV
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANASuykaeqODG
110Please respect copyright.PENANAECfdjGvygz
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQPzVWxirz3
"Hey, I heard about Christine," I said. "Did you find her?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0NrtIXy7x
110Please respect copyright.PENANArGme3vOpBt
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdm2nSKpzZy
"No," Lee answered. "I checked the women’s room, and I made one more sweep around the shop, but nothing. She’s not here."110Please respect copyright.PENANALxeH6w3wF1
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuc2GPeAp4P
110Please respect copyright.PENANAiz0sHK4Zqg
"Strange," said Mino. "Where could she have gone?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAvUfxOmNJBd
110Please respect copyright.PENANABDGZawfyTa
110Please respect copyright.PENANAzqpM6odGXQ
"Have you tried calling her phone?" I asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAK7Je7OUWr8

110Please respect copyright.PENANAY8HDPztjLz
Mike and Daniel came to join us. "Still no sign of the girls?" Mike asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAmDkcTtR8uB
110Please respect copyright.PENANAaYWJFPV6uw
110Please respect copyright.PENANA45n3lCESoy
"Zoey is in the dressing room," I answered. "Christine is nowhere to be found."110Please respect copyright.PENANA6sJjeBoG5M
110Please respect copyright.PENANAv46T7bbYXp
110Please respect copyright.PENANACKdSF8kIPJ
"Where could she be if she isn’t here?" Daniel asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANANybAt513Tn
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuZDRMsnuHg
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsOx3lkzBN6
"That’s what we want to find out," said Jimin as he looked at Lee.110Please respect copyright.PENANAIEzXWriuPa
110Please respect copyright.PENANAka9k3IRLnh
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyvRZyZInE6
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."110Please respect copyright.PENANA927kv1yB8y
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnQBOPai46h
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgObfWWGpQ6
"Great. Zoey goes out to find Johnny, and now we have to deal with Christine going missing," said Mike. "Where has she gone?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAERr7Qfj6c6
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdQYkrFq1kr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAptnVCQV4AD
"Maybe she went back to the dumpling shop?" Daniel suggested.110Please respect copyright.PENANAtM3utmw0aO
110Please respect copyright.PENANABFWHi7Jz7A
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuznbYsdprM
"Then she would’ve told us," I said. "This whole thing seems fishy, and I don’t like it."110Please respect copyright.PENANA1k72Xe7eT4
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwBKpYjlRVk
110Please respect copyright.PENANAC4m8ihIXB5
"Let me try and call her again," said Lee as she tapped on her phone and placed it on her ear.110Please respect copyright.PENANAq4Vn8mQhUs
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0TfYRZ1Wo
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp9VrkFrrj7
Zoey rushed out of the changing rooms. She comes to stand beside me with the white and pink Hanbok in hand.110Please respect copyright.PENANA0IHxIntfV8
110Please respect copyright.PENANAn0RNyLke95
110Please respect copyright.PENANAi7QDhtVfOs
"Have you found her?" she asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAu2XFYYg2dC
110Please respect copyright.PENANABnn0zOl7GH
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZWsOLG0m7Z
Mino shook his head. "No luck," he answered.110Please respect copyright.PENANAH8bpWcsr5o
110Please respect copyright.PENANABIl9S7d2ey
110Please respect copyright.PENANAVvqkhJkgUA
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAdTYqj8GJTr
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGR7JXoaRYd
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYqhlPhUAK4
"Do you think Johnny found her, and she had to run?" Zoey asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANAskbr7rnrCR
110Please respect copyright.PENANAO2DJ78AF2i
110Please respect copyright.PENANADToOC3bybF
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?110Please respect copyright.PENANA6komjnGXao
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZNENfuJok3
110Please respect copyright.PENANALimw9YmBTT
"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?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAPCwM7ejg71
110Please respect copyright.PENANAynN0BzBZlk
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHlFjB14q0M
"I don’t know—a coincidence, maybe." Zoey shrugged her shoulders.110Please respect copyright.PENANAaer81qRRMm
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFHbMQb8ltt
110Please respect copyright.PENANALIIcTCll3g
"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."110Please respect copyright.PENANAWpJslhlT6H
110Please respect copyright.PENANAycpRzhSoZf
110Please respect copyright.PENANAI86yYECFVD
"Should we be worried?" Lee asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANA52c8BPrZwP
110Please respect copyright.PENANAgmas8YdJ3E
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7OaqPy3CBb
"Usually I wouldn’t. But she doesn’t know the area really well, so yeah, I would be worried."110Please respect copyright.PENANAxhVjoaQxKM
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9yTzhRi2Z
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtU1LuYwYB3
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAgWoxbOQ3Ov
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfYb2pp5zBH
110Please respect copyright.PENANAh7r8DYxbFP
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAzatgs9u8U2
110Please respect copyright.PENANAB39MhoHfOb
110Please respect copyright.PENANAY350GjPtdq
After leaving the clothing store, we started to make our way back to the dumpling shop. I really do hope we find her.110Please respect copyright.PENANABUlUZobPr8

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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAhw6TTSBcey
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxnGBqs7R2v
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ3lxvkQJO
Then why am I out here?110Please respect copyright.PENANA4hESZfFSO9
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKRxCeTMOhc
110Please respect copyright.PENANA55b5kWNT40
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANATfbk0iOuIS
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeYqSiDWXOI
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvoiiVZEGkv
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?110Please respect copyright.PENANAG7bAmvziPH
110Please respect copyright.PENANAi96Of1dnJy
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdHfN69miRq
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAm1763ezzNn
110Please respect copyright.PENANAi5Azfw4mzy
110Please respect copyright.PENANAI0YbaQy9tc
"Hi, Jinwoo," I said when I got to the table. "I didn’t take too long, did I?"110Please respect copyright.PENANAtos4AyyqFh
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJlnovm5s35
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsdOYeWKZE6
"No, not all," he said as he pulled out the wooden chair for me.110Please respect copyright.PENANAU0tI9O8vG0
110Please respect copyright.PENANAri6wTJaSqa
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxW6nmjarkz
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?110Please respect copyright.PENANA612FUqI6im
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFnafjcG1Wp
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHH7Y5SpYcG
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.110Please respect copyright.PENANADwG4bbE5iZ
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwgzuzpLJpe
110Please respect copyright.PENANACOgYNMeCJn
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAYNWItIxloo
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKXxfa5NNfK
110Please respect copyright.PENANAyy8Fg0Mj5R
"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?"110Please respect copyright.PENANA5rpke2TruF
110Please respect copyright.PENANAdO7Q2zXD71
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7nungaWGxh
"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."110Please respect copyright.PENANAokNGwUXjAI
110Please respect copyright.PENANAx3XDq8SKoN
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5S78GN8Uxk
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAxXRXpbxJYl
110Please respect copyright.PENANATs7L9oSo10
110Please respect copyright.PENANAC6We6YrdA8
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.110Please respect copyright.PENANAi5iQv6rVwp
