"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLaNOyxiQu
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWvxCqD8rD
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWXLXA6Q42
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfjQERbXIP
Collins laughed. "Are 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMyxpMAema
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtihLSyZItk
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGAU0SLCZ4
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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEbwUf4D0b
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmpE8FMyVH
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LxaMXgHrI
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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdPzTDRV6N
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrXWQyFdtH
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SyZlRzVfH
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Omxh4bn4
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ2DWcX09e
"Gosh, what to do with 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2zpFQINww
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVjzchqVmt
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP88WXc14Ka
end up in a cell."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DyNitkU7V
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfsH5E8CBf
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh2mJUSz5M
"We promise," said Zoey.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Y51Ko8qD
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWj9I9f85N
"Well, that went well," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6xgQMwga6
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK63iijVxx9
"There was nothing he 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr9ZcQ2aka
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqelPlGGrgt
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugamIYMUnk
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3bsIcoHv5
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95FLsNPGiH
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalvdjRw7YM
The five of us all came 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pvADhbGYB
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXEIbJ6KGS
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXMHl8PAEo
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUXIIiOBv8
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXFpJa2uUK
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDkRvVuR7d
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfinvZ4aPIX
"Okay, then sticking 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgM5XsPva
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB3lDNjj5y
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFwjcm8Jss
To make our shopping 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G3Xxq06Zl
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMCVrziriQ
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISA3ASaE9z
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77CXusYodB
the shelves when he wasn't looking.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB1pRKp03o
We even got red 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFC96QlrGR
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErPjzPXUiO
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjtv1oP1xq
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdshKWnBHe9
though she seems not to show it sometimes.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVuUNzzk3m
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONtG2gJE4R
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQEAOTjSmK
"Oh, I'm scared for 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9qONFXfZf
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcYZz3QRsL
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB0fsOgjao
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKNm2xIwoa
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmgEhGUhML
Mike did just that and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yRkK45Nhl
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio8bvfSRYn
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ClqsWMzA
Christine came to me with red party hats.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAchFxit8iW
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwztN9xNb3
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3exCJBxhM
"In case what?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDs7spCDJI
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHFqANajjf
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmoBryNiWo
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFw5Vwrc79
"Lee is calling," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuq68fQK19
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oMEeOUue0
"You guys just never 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF3Fa5MRfD
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb6bqLh31J
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9UJr1kYyj
you're throwing a party."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nmyHIvLB1
"Ya, we are," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P5xxu3y3a
"All I wanted was for 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6bAgaEHkl
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGk7c4hzCS
party out of the blue because you wanted to."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsEGTFSjzi
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY8rAEyBfE
"Don't tell me, save if 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XfsreXKcI
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaduDBwxnpe
don't help, Collins might just fire me."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGdlfMMlEH
"You know he wouldn't." I909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY22FVsPcp
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4JWa5GUqq
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuYkMFdn5a
beauty salon at all."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROn1ylZOr0
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ON78SzM5N
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQEEt08TZY
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutQuWIOBJW
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMPM2LU0Du
"Sure they can. It's not909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhRo5ld3sv
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQSjnszAYk
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdUYejJOzG
call them." 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKK3Mf6ueJ
"Ya, you do that."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqvI8L6zDW
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pczxT8IVe
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kp5VUqgb5
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMeXYMYjqr
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcS9wgnjNu
"Red? Why red?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFbzH9Q374
"Well, it's the theme for the party."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsrqSjlZmm
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781ZfAYw0u
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuzSqKVtlB
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuYDgj2G13
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20neioCduP
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL74yXxusac
"Thanks, Lee."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9Iu8LiB6A
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eko0I79UW
Lee cut the line and I 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IUk21scAz
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkHR9ks1se
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuson5WhfTK
into them with the trolley.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy2f1y60Yz
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xJy4aaHTb
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDda82oojlX
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLJYsIKMqZ
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9T0ZVGHkL
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoZucHOpHN
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeHMDeIQXv
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPHQU8b6qp
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADhDbtkVk9
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kcZ8zH9ti
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrHVAQ0DgS
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofuHEvj6zH
"Aren't we almost done 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqhdhuMd5W
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9sVBWpvjD
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92EqyXAHmd
"I think we got all that909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdUVcInlVn
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzI9V73YY9
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUiMHm3n8M
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH5uaEldP8
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm2wDRtzy3
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FCxz87SKp
"Did someone say cake?" 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPceGSUchM
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzaBpwZyP
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ037dCjonnC
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!"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYg52DXqtE
"Okay, looks like I 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnqAtbhzoT
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjh01NLTsB
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZK0AATUpV
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2KMEBNGyh
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GLsuS8bun
"No one knows," said 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9HBDjbBf0
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfQ81NEYvw
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXkIm24Egi
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tJAeLenkV
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1coS6yZSA2
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVOBibhFZL
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcWMTcuExk
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz30mVKSqt
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQzebf81Xv
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GZB6vxMry
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhktc9aXTEs
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCnwO7lPGX
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1VEp0FsiY
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbASJwMrmd
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEM79tXnuW
We quickly went straight909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIDhM1P4m9
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1mql1bvpk
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeQCvTgJyc
easily by passersby.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QgUBuTbYh
As soon as we were done 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Es4RraS6n
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfwK74H0C4
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx59Ja87wD
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M15vA6OmL
another.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnqjdVolpF
Surprisingly, as many 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNtXtZVH0H
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD3Al00zjV
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkBYBzgyDP
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvVRsM3oFN
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdskJZ0VkoN
to come out with were red shoes.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMqIAi0okE
"This is getting 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKAEIiSzjt
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1VsbNapTM
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOmACwSLHW
can't seem to find the right outfit."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4JetMUmZV
"Shouldn't we have just 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWpCyYqfeu
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WDHiD5HkJ
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY779jwgdQC
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mJto5n4mV
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V1a27IVxj
"I feel so too," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXKsiu23Zc
"You know the offer is 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuJUSQaTym
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOOB2CPRQ
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtMzWUmjPv
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQqOS40PPt
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnRURT3FM4
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwQAJH214f
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrbG565L00
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86OYtBMurk
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6xSbaisHo
"No, I'm calling Lee. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUNPILyeUq
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6FRYFORzX
phone began to ring at the under end.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJENgLSoY7
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2qZOtrigO
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecZmDO3ako
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvepQpYSQXf
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU2iev53lc
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwnAGFihwg
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OkPf6IE2b
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiX1Q20Cwx
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK8yz1TYIc
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWY3l3M9ve
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEP0LFq8g7
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlG3riXhZA
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKs8FbswDl
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQlnlquf0y
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEXyQEcRo7
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxyQYkcxF9
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2iCN8Aj53
"Well, lucky her," said 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1CSipsSQI
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn166tD4Qf
like she found what she was looking for."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0q7qZDw3W
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJvDc1JPXt
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8MLYls6so
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6RhuCTE6I
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS9FLL63NI
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFYQ7d43kg
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEgeWrhIFt
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YarOrIbU7
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPnKYrycHL
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu11jaoTDaR
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyimY8V3SUV
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2e4R4Ff6r
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63kzso0D22
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXPZ8r7yiM
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWohQdl43C
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIzSK473v6
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8HJ74e9j3
I kept on looking in the909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5TQd0JD2g
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMvbbT8zwt
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2K5mhPneB
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCMcFMsz8Q
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbRy0VWchD
"I like it," said 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Qf0JOkAY
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7puNpR0XV
they are really going to match with your heels."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoRrQDmnbk
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrIQ17MSV0
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6L6JLStp
"I didn't ask for your 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNoOpk87AH
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxKbwKvJhM
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqTB9jW7Ia
"But I bet she looked more prettier."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCZHeIBvjm
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS5mEKNxjO
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69TCKws4n5
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnTNdowDIQ
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FXHRElpkb
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYlOARQOcz
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamugwZA7H
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWVptPNEra
Christine ran off to the909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxskaV8WdG1
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1XNdvvrG5
her hand and back in her usual clothes.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVilGkUwcGp
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZjcTDyqyP
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKI86CWCww
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSP8TseMXw
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECiz52LC33
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFsWbPOYBf
"I feel the last four 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe5RZgzXaK
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAPrDUngZm
out a red top that didn't feel right still.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPVZ34s5sB
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqmmsywgvL
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eXgCZ0H0d
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwAVR4RsXJ
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv8ZW6H8Ot
"True," said Zoey from the counter.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl5oj3qSeC
"You can do it well 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpGMmZJYXH
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Z3gxClL7
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieXe9onVpa
rack.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE0XLco7TQ
"And you don't have to 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt78r4XW4rJ
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3FdJcUfzG
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTOcnWUtzc
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeya76cLYh
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJqjJZ9eCx
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2AvHTzg4X
"Me neither," said Daniel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcFGUvu9Wi
"Well, now you know," said Lee.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtF2wfPHgo
"Gosh, there is nothing 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyUN9ySy9n
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl34FAIhQ65
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzHIkR7hOi
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj2YVhODXL
"Let me go in the last aisle."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNSLOX5uTV
Just as I was about to 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGzKbDTE5c
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqcMsbr0A0
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi82QjnnVD
backwards.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w7v6L3CMm
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv8OB7wCNU
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSxTrmvfjz
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS3KWsgp79
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HQwBjDnIj
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTsqVtJfZj
I looked at the person 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHREmKuPocf
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSOCfqce29
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBl8g1k3sO
"Hey," said Zoey as she 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXR0q7yqvj
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sFow29UCC
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0CWdYqN9J
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVMv6CpK2e
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SHuXltoxI
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxZzVOICJh
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVIvwYll8B
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfteWNuuq2
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xe082s7gu
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUhqoVxZUb
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF0p4UX8EV
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET2rNkz6kA
Immediately my two 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt7UZb6RAX
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskzABcRz4P
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWYhy6RmG2
Then all of the sudden, a909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQLWfxAIc6
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rk5mklnKP
was coming from. It was Christine.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGywRrB010A
She quickly covered her 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cl6TR0Gpd
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHxgIpPDth
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PO9EEtcqK
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQFqHJ1xFz
"Spare her," said 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jhFmOvYuE
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvAlhHP9sP
ourselves contained when we see famous people."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iMAKhUFui
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fgCpFLIp5
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjdxjYuLeV
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPvEDaWMLZ
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJlKY2p82Y
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5dJFegMzR
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R6whPMomT
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFjfe6mJoc
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs6rbJcwBL
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj6OzD4XHX
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjTH8dSxIT
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkzrQn2oE
"I already did, thanks. 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGdhBBzvM
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AN2LwPla1
to go back and prepare for the party."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKdG605cPx
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw9kiev7ax
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7W76a8Rnm
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh8hpgMfDH
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThmb06AoJJ
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Gj7D6MBEK
Joy turned around and I 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPpb5ECnqg
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2BqbCZQA5
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKG74GXqUg
she drew out the one she was looking for.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtJ3ii2FHt
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBUsrVhsdO
She gave me a red short 909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w3tOioDod
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUkJr63Ufs
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF9nSkNHIf
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63xizgq4VU
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKfZedJpBT
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nxBi65cQV
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5goJoqoNAp
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRsGcIuevj
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRlrYVZ40g
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM6OXaRuSS
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBE1ePVT3P
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74aP2QSNYn
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8N1ZiK0gf
"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.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vsf7AM7Tp
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiox8v74YDK
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgFGeQzYZF
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRAY0a3KBr
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA3E8Wnl4V
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIcQE7ZaCC
"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?"909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VzqvB2WSx
"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."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzY5OG6dbv
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9PolzR1uc
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtDjMpFoXt
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmVvyFoYiP
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaohChNpdGD
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.909Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCPrborSsD
