"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf46JB7D6Gl
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qyxNaWBgy
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZxdd8cyHj
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtvA1jxeGg
Collins laughed. "Are 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGMjdjMOlr
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxwrOU8irV
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfcc2wZFn
Zoey looked at me with a hopeless look on her face. I on the other hand wasn't giving up. I turned to look at Mike.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x1BiFB0nh
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC0YLivul0
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLibVpiIW0
I didn't answer him right away as I answered Mike, "let's not make it a Mexican party, Mike. We can leave it out."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND3fKgWwdd
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBW6UVvLGR
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmWxoyO0yG
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnR4tfF32m
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNftbKdv3Y
"Gosh, what to do with 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGIabiEs2K
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko9Dsf1a1y
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjYqQ6lTFJ
end up in a cell."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0oELtYj0n
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KPKmnbi3l
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxDd7T9xT4
"We promise," said Zoey.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTmOu4Nhgn
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK7lfDP6NM
"Well, that went well," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7GRrjrbmT
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hcfQrFdTD
"There was nothing he 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWC7iQzFvb
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeR5FbcssS
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTIDFKFhAw
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84LFJkn86o
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3viCfHJzx
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ482BU3v8WR
The five of us all came 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstF7pb39zh
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvWxD6dqRT
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfEfRQNvlg
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSWoteB4W8
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WglvyyaSN
"I think we should stick together," said Christine. "We can't split up and just buy what we want. We didn't even make a list."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB85ZjMxmMj
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY47OAPmEx
"Okay, then sticking 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPUuqBEpRT
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8e3ivtvNC
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDezICqrOiw
To make our shopping 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7GVASOxqF
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7YQZTrXE4
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImEYuEHYuo
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JUPliiJB9
the shelves when he wasn't looking.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJInDaiQgDi
We even got red 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUTONrG2mK
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii5AgnNc5F
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp12hqG01K
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DWPH7tLC
though she seems not to show it sometimes.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATdD2rkYwM
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElzUpkHbm
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk6pDTvtZF
"Oh, I'm scared for 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmingMuDP6r
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUaVRPfan5
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGbtJIhmZG
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA63hdGg27x
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUHjqLqmeE
Mike did just that and 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQK917t2bB
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyzEhQElb4
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EmZta2Yxm
Christine came to me with red party hats.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMYX1i3Us4
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYuXij6Uko
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoeM2p1Lnm
"In case what?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uWgKRWsxn
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd2Lntbqmp
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h3HLLgMTA
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4hicM5JHH
"Lee is calling," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyb5sIvNAB
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK79kfa6Kk
"You guys just never 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoKo6Uu46u
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3xBB1H844
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNAJtJr73T
you're throwing a party."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoyhhFnKRw
"Ya, we are," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsviVjFIxi
"All I wanted was for 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILmOH5tguA
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvuvuF8RZj
party out of the blue because you wanted to."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh1s3aUoWA
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubWKolTmFw
"Don't tell me, save if 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUbKPX33J6
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlN5D8jKEb
don't help, Collins might just fire me."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDkvOulGMQ
"You know he wouldn't." I913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFatFLwRcxI
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1R121vVpK
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPGbAFFZPR
beauty salon at all."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHyZh5ujMB
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8WjWAaaiQ
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWobyR39LB
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PeQhIFmrP
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41OsPCc8nn
"Sure they can. It's not913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDE4ezAvFj
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9LGzT1qDn
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTIoQz7DUW
call them." 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY03dI4Ing
"Ya, you do that."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRHKUqbEL9
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCbSkkHDMx
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCiopXXes5
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09EtyeGwJu
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZwGHFgbe6
"Red? Why red?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG3QKdaOOw
"Well, it's the theme for the party."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRC5EFEBB4
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8YP59uCmT
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduKJ5JC5XI
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4nReVEhiX
"Mmmm baking cakes is a lot of work. A cake would be nice but I bet these guys would expect a big one for the party."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcMemcCfzb
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FryGbAaMO
"Thanks, Lee."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ7yfVAI7M
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUwUB3lBfg
Lee cut the line and I 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mylcGhIkw
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTsMJkO7fl
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kQ2Gg2ppS
into them with the trolley.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BW28wrcIr
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUwCl76ABF
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0L2wGG90P
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG3OYrafod
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORGrlEOo13
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8YHu3Jhw6
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TH39sllWM
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRrZa8WhA
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhliND2d37
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F63iThlM6
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ALxLc0aD
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GOwyH7KDo
"Aren't we almost done 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGhFEuC6q
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEQi1kVsHN
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24lp8SxE6Q
"I think we got all that913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cBaSkheHI
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTL3PVbHYk
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UCrN66J82
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwwPX80bjz
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjCOLjJqBu
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAdCSLTS57
"Did someone say cake?" 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDmTYtj3mg
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNd2Njj1i6
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhWZgt2RA
My two brothers appeared from the last aisles with red party streamers as they sang Flo Rida's song "Cake", "I only came for the cake. Ca-ca-ca-cake Ca-ca-ca-cake!"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GlM3cbDvh
"Okay, looks like I 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuJSV4skXV
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUMnbO1c5x
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1FfuBrgR3
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVZSVH1MPy
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCimQslH67
"No one knows," said 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E4N11ex2c
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo17tTEXzj5
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DnkXnVSoM
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMToNXWuGKd
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJeUvs4di4
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvsCu1I4u0
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iTrQnwpUL
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWlc4RrfAg
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqgjaN3eOL
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67e5OtmNGe
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlExfFkKMI1
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOib2mgQTlF
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbpcmiqONp
"Okay, let's pay and put all this in the car. We will only have forty minutes to get clothes and whatever that is red."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86FP9EXPA8
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojuq82CT9D
We quickly went straight913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAiVGMWJTz
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLlOwdN8MX
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeHdiFeoh5
easily by passersby.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGNw0e1qXz
As soon as we were done 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl2QozPAA4
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnKIHzVBFu
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg2m3Cwbbt
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCiNAo3mEH
another.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xMdbESPLX
Surprisingly, as many 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCUlF9pG8O
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLjSJ0UU79
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwudSFlfnhZ
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeIHjXCNV5
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm38Y5beMI
to come out with were red shoes.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8GrRWfl0J
"This is getting 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWR8vXRwh1
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU8jFCaze0
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYjHE7SsXJ
can't seem to find the right outfit."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDBtZ0O2sO
"Shouldn't we have just 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsHtGAXP1D
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D9maY4MqW
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb9DrHndvY
"You would have looked like a fairy," I said. I knew the dress she was talking about. She couldn't get her eyes off it.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf32wGHv7d4
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsGxXTlXeW
"I feel so too," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq3ICBRR7G
"You know the offer is 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c0IMMbYhh
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhYHRfzc1o
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd16YSk6duT
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOIlFxfizS
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZdfM6mYJR
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYaeyhRA1Y
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkBobinKMg
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJwBjAzqls
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntbEyMaC3N
"No, I'm calling Lee. 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRzrQrDi6U
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr00aAAYbD
phone began to ring at the under end.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvJFIYhWIT
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8E7i1sEL7
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVEv0SJK64
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkpXXDhF0T
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GgCLV3Okb
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIJt4CvbUZ
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2CFkYilzM
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcHxJtbC7D
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL43SpUF1A3
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZSBw5MN9X
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjYsKSgehI
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKakVwe7Kz
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo09BOhpAxo
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiIiMobSWf
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMRBpmFJiN
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBhcnbMNWz
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxBl6KutYO
"Well, lucky her," said 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubJWONCqkT
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI1XkhbkyS
like she found what she was looking for."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7sV9nxTgn
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEyGSZQDWj
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7elmhNuZiS
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGtWPSzwlc
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwEdSiXXYI
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6gqPIXAuL
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9JvTFsIah
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdNHhGM0Wh
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNafKu41DBf
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dNNHxioZl
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe5kgjQAwt
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWekazeRWWo
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvN8dE2yfU
"Maybe it's because we didn't find a nice fancy boutique like this one," I answered as I noticed a red and white dress.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm2ohcNOsB
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkHRJcKoJo
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtUXqYSVUW
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcUWWmBt2k
I kept on looking in the913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOysPQLYvd
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx7Jo8GyYE
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNyClpGrof
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqN2wiyqHo
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOkIvMFYKS
"I like it," said 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VTnzVHT0C
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Fv6Z4jgi
they are really going to match with your heels."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQhdzGVTYB
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmfes61T7w
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3foD9DWWsD
"I didn't ask for your 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfV3a724xb
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B1NdzoiqI
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcycXI5538C
"But I bet she looked more prettier."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUZKT6WeT9
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfoCw8xjhg
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdIa8AwVCE
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVZTNFbFgK
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGoRT3xvXe
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOW0psPR1a
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq1jD5WdgM
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qRjyECgD
Christine ran off to the913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7z0tXw1iP
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nYweXJf1w
her hand and back in her usual clothes.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Z65fvZRV
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3skC8uNWF
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E5MBKl9kC
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsmlXPmTGO
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAqhtrxdS7
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflmDGwMKxO
"I feel the last four 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mJ7JIHrV6
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcrhDW4PBa
out a red top that didn't feel right still.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazKimUEe0R
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPkRxrUsZm
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYA5XA2Ty
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgmIrxD7DT
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP63h6AZ6Ne
"True," said Zoey from the counter.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV8c3vFYwx
"You can do it well 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyUdppEca5
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE4DFfH9k2
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPzkUI4xoX
rack.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy1d6FRaOk
"And you don't have to 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZYuuiYCZ
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIkxWmUpD2
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNLLM46O7i
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMN2GDctCb
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbwB5CEEnO
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNnDokv363
"Me neither," said Daniel.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsbQqWK37e
"Well, now you know," said Lee.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE9o3IvQva
"Gosh, there is nothing 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK1ADdiQAt
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO7L0RnPRx
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0ImmBa29q
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIxAh4r9dn
"Let me go in the last aisle."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkRP5qKIM8
Just as I was about to 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KiGa1JmQI
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TrvoxCvOM
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv5J37WEGA
backwards.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUxpn1EhpI
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYrDFQdJAS
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9s59SOx3O
"Sam, what is it?" Lee asked as she came over to me. She probably hadn't seen me bump into the person in front of me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNjSq5jIWM
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8QWGupyVb
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSvH7LJo7y
I looked at the person 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgfyo4zmFl
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgpSMs2fVH
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvewIQEmvN
"Hey," said Zoey as she 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4KZ2EhhPg
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblX5iPJN59
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwozM8sUAc
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguUwjJnr5D
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunqVeq2HQw
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrYTrPE1FA
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRL8WDw09a
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl3JJmamjL
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqb6Hv5IL5
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwHa3uACEI
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcpdGDdYnX
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBjzUL3dJe
Immediately my two 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76gEd0V0N5
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g6MlwdBcG
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMhQfhskCC
Then all of the sudden, a913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxxyVMCEk9
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW2cLl4xwo
was coming from. It was Christine.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXsCGbDP9p
She quickly covered her 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MJ9BhsSmL
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU04EEkVGN
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2IagZhfjX
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JCGfhNAXz
"Spare her," said 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk9hO30WZP
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7pm21yult
ourselves contained when we see famous people."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Bmadk6Cu
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsSoF7XNSD
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrynUU9Ojx
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXan5We9XeN
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZA7dXDkyh
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrF34KWlM0
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK6rfeA64L
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQEFkoTJR5
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYkwdRZmjP
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIT1p836WD
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmolgBg5AVQ
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaChtBvt4f
"I already did, thanks. 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiuAk11cjB
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uwo2PyCnF
to go back and prepare for the party."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcqel5gd0m
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9BuQ1MbcD
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kLRdCIDZN
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqfiMKyRo6
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFpjWE9IS8
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjpscuK88R
Joy turned around and I 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdf7lAWyOi
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH6M9eOJ0L
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqfxCfHfYJ
she drew out the one she was looking for.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fRkfxF5tD
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrlNZX18eY
She gave me a red short 913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszvzZqRTyv
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vTiAtbXxW
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJsKiUYfPW
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsaa3wYUtc
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47j8gl6RMj
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopOUKX4gOX
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjkvnGNxze
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcP2fLZnzX
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKKdbSdKA
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmneDpTDXIZ
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmTKNbInW1
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjC9FpTR59
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5IGPAHcu
"As much as we would love to hang out with you guys at your party, I'm afraid we have to go back to the studio," said Irene.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgloj5iHhvD
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBjqX3iDAu
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Vyme2UxF
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGBqzu6Dcp
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHacIPZv1U5
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XlV9nzdn9
"Really?" I looked at the size of the dress by the tag at the back of it. "Even if it is, what if it's too big on me?"913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH91RwbdfZ
"Whenever I get you a dress, I never check the size because I know you perfectly. We have to go. We don't have much time."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjlkYTUo7m
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIn4U5zi76
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ899lpsKoBn
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVm863R1TA
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvS1wkpa5p
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.913Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKrQqHqX57
