"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85FAa7B78M
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK4NNo3njq
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySuOQDgMkx
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZn27zNCcn
Collins laughed. "Are 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy4tl8AHjP
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV5Wcc8NP1
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsu4pnszm0
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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMouoAI3cnd
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBC7NfaXJL
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7124105oZ
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."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa8W4bTfN7
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5caJMNGpd
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDNDJhUJo6
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw1kBdxkxz
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJaek9mWsi
"Gosh, what to do with 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3dJLwN9kH
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXLa1GfujT
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynZMhmCWK9
end up in a cell."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqaH7ogl3u
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjllFIWVH6H
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUB51dVusW
"We promise," said Zoey.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXml30aN7mk
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NrjNlA4av
"Well, that went well," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiICgmwfsF
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpPzgL7M4W
"There was nothing he 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj5xxekVGo
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgc6hgVxYm
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV2YvArb8X
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGviKzR1jHy
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyWVTZVMfp
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlPcsPoVIL
The five of us all came 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bh1rSquEQ
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBbZJkBR7A
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijR0jrLtg5
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwSEXCHi3K
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL50pUILH5F
"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."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56EmE3HXnt
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JZRaUV0hO
"Okay, then sticking 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MTxztUzq5
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruvxGTaJNP
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZadb1ERLtH
To make our shopping 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYTTGV8sWh
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq8Rg9khIH
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHTdBI1DI
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah5gBrWLZN
the shelves when he wasn't looking.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfa6C1HRkC
We even got red 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfYaZsrXor
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6JBwtLq5q
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWvYHcb0oK
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFB95sLUOH
though she seems not to show it sometimes.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6bp9ifGiM
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ542AtMvLFD
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl1ITGUjeC
"Oh, I'm scared for 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p5X7xap9o
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgyiGvB4v7
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHh7LN50Oj
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplDaN1Bi5i
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL3PPVoxU3
Mike did just that and 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3KEkgzzYy
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkhVnhyxAf
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5yogFrC5E
Christine came to me with red party hats.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaDZjrqxMS
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKon9Lubvo
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYOYC9hfgx
"In case what?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv85njrjPn
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZkJSiJtK
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN6bVN2Dcv
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9ROXRAhEi
"Lee is calling," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogXEidPOXX
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYnlahguIN
"You guys just never 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUNzu15asZ
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4hkweIzai
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOQm3MS6Um
you're throwing a party."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3AEupAVLu
"Ya, we are," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIvq8eINAm
"All I wanted was for 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCTxvJwBUR
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul0YuTlGDP
party out of the blue because you wanted to."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dOYDMGAPk
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q6wdWvicE
"Don't tell me, save if 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8btJJJ1OZK
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQv2mAVvf
don't help, Collins might just fire me."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDGcRz3onW
"You know he wouldn't." I912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIk82v91ph
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pcpA0VF9k
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w1CuUZoI3
beauty salon at all."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwtZRlUYiv
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5pW1Uk0SH
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0oDlOLYIV
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXaQfNbhXd
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B0Dfucre5
"Sure they can. It's not912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZubL9kixh
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXowLCuXBE
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OcJeeZDn5
call them." 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsWsOyyHfQ
"Ya, you do that."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iCYQM30xk
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jp4Mma5IG
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOAiTyKc6M
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrUVIH6dOm
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqZgpnuMSa
"Red? Why red?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HSvTNyb6S
"Well, it's the theme for the party."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84T4EPdoH
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJnC6JVZTe
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkAbCYwDu4
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64HHXxRBHQ
"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."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxlj3oKwDF
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy9tZdJUqS
"Thanks, Lee."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHqGya2PcL
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6FSZBEndk
Lee cut the line and I 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiguPXl7BfO
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXowfsg6ukm
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvn8Yra3rz
into them with the trolley.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkhEQPGsVK
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPntHve26c
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpVqJdIHh5
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYWdICsPii
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBymrdXoqf
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv4h1ZHkCU
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LOnznuOQa
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdhEm3BloH
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK84PgHdO7u
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VFlGCaEqd
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GriOIHHjV
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu7TUFl6JU
"Aren't we almost done 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Zo4VT0oA
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBKOFFv2Po
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp0xL781Qj
"I think we got all that912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LdI6GR2GC
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhaHoREdQH
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFOxAQfI9l
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaEagzXOOQ
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYSIxvPW8h
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA8aleaTZY
"Did someone say cake?" 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug7XKR91UB
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo2yGuyrJi
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nm37i8TfT
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!"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZMKEm5eWD
"Okay, looks like I 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy4CxglQcg
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBxgqXKg9I
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA4IZAyK0A
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkNPcDwwhW
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqrfoFhowB
"No one knows," said 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy7ve9Hilf
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj8TfiacAI
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRhfd3Uhiv
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5VyshS5hb
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCllFWw9mRr
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63V20eFsmq
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP426Pq5bHp
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh3GX5fgLK
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7e3TE79zi
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGYZlDPAPJ
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1uILM2kkz
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsyS1OhhKp
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Lvy6YFaj
"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."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAOpv8pJDU
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWXGEDRoMU
We quickly went straight912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyShdKfci0x
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTbPaEYC4
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgAUDquM0l
easily by passersby.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IBovziEgt
As soon as we were done 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7crqxIym6
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynT0pWOYqi
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eyHGW9AI0
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06dXIVgPtF
another.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtON7rmqhXE
Surprisingly, as many 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwmvqp188b
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPLidH2pik
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvE00LUeQi
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1qKQ49Mdj
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfj1ETTc8N
to come out with were red shoes.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yQUlShFtp
"This is getting 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQyBt5U6Xy
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9cI9Q9uuV
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWBZh6sSJx
can't seem to find the right outfit."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7qKbejAGK
"Shouldn't we have just 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5o4oAtdcX
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuMnzJyc49
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD69XORscR8
"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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LK82bP4MJ
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5HdaNMRXf
"I feel so too," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsIkZ9l34D
"You know the offer is 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwExwfvY3g
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiqnfGDTTv
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA4cFssVN6
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST8RRy7nQ0
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZZ8Oygg25
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kW24MbJHX
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o8PGMQGOU
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzRVIr4L58
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z66Asz0xF
"No, I'm calling Lee. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeafiVlYhrG
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwNoGGHkzY
phone began to ring at the under end.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29mXur09qE
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwN4Fw2NNo
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX612XB5aZE
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKYOZvTJSH
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqemg3J4Qz
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GFmvNQWK8
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkCrhH3o6f
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB0KR0AnRO
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcDD6EIjnS
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZNMhdge3G
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIdqMuAE4b
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr1jsJMEdf
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzzMRmgv8v
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCOBEKjvI6
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopxIl425gC
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgj4797iEd
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLypzjbA14
"Well, lucky her," said 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtXb9bU1rU
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkplb7hZesr
like she found what she was looking for."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFrKB0bl6r
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmkC3DgwDC
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijP5eBk6WK
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmXdu51lqR
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNrNgkmKFu
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJNXdqvKp3
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Ho80xW3M
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1XunvuS1w
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Woj9EosWn
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JHjLfhVqN
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnylKmcFzl
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC1m0OJcIS
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepW4D74FSP
"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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXfB5u4YQ1
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8M4Khloge
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3IegOEQxR
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbDjnM0mWo
I kept on looking in the912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVehroJAKy
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwlQd8VECd
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dkwDxyCb7
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBQhMbxKXn
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbahL7HoH2L
"I like it," said 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nvuCwpvM1
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLTONyEVJW
they are really going to match with your heels."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrU5S6KVUz
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrGmD7amXf
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYmVWulifm
"I didn't ask for your 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdZMvG58Bc
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QABYrRmxV
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HOgu2tZy6
"But I bet she looked more prettier."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd57bqDtyR
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwFxyYrQvo
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxEEuOXDSF
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66lfBdixmn
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQlN5I6dBg
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTmdGlEnqO
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV6K0CK4d7
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj1fQBavkc
Christine ran off to the912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn11KBG9AY
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhExhfx54Hr
her hand and back in her usual clothes.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJPevlYHhn
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCQCdXJU0Q
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGLVV61wG1
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4prs5XZb9
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa05k4hs92Y
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmkNstHnp
"I feel the last four 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzbEGYSEkv
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n7l1GKhvl
out a red top that didn't feel right still.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuefVs4pmoD
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWxG3DMtDV
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVProKoxrb
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVq5tqNJq4
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw9iUQZl1m
"True," said Zoey from the counter.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuxWR5TBbv
"You can do it well 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9w9HgyXU4
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyshGw8fzQ
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3BPpeJgQX
rack.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuVGKIHNsW
"And you don't have to 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWpB6GCxzx
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB2BP2E5Ta
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp7hegSDxQ
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOG48VWUkO
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWTt2eYt3r
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfskD5kJPfa
"Me neither," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9N32RVxfs
"Well, now you know," said Lee.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIznOFqfxAi
"Gosh, there is nothing 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhjbhHzfxe
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSnViyQmhU
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSTlAkmm43
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqxl3RfIBj
"Let me go in the last aisle."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSrcCsonrP
Just as I was about to 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLYGpnujEe
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5w4S7VBhm
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj4POrUw8J
backwards.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8deSgjFzWI
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOags6BowKU
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46vYp5aMzf
"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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLfP8WXzt5
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Doz2qcYW3
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKrlnaWBPh
I looked at the person 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWpEpy9EHS
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRge0QkCcMZ
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpOfGTuIEr
"Hey," said Zoey as she 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZr1sPJZsy
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa7PaXvE6J
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXAV6UPtEJ
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTarPqUTZ2i
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiyq30R45o
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D4ts3ZTm4
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT0HroowG7
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk9yEF8zxY
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B927fsc3T
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJy06spfyz
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPw4X8bvH2
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SLIh88B5p
Immediately my two 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqYg5R4KtZ
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgSyS5tScG
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltveyGC8aB
Then all of the sudden, a912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjFrqCfykw
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1E3HgDrk0
was coming from. It was Christine.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq26A3mzX4
She quickly covered her 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxujIfsmL5
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWguI7F2zt4
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbX8amr6DB
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UeivPX3ol
"Spare her," said 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvmX16PtQz
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiy8xJL7Kf
ourselves contained when we see famous people."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvz7x1yx59
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbFqXEcivJ
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFad3pvFll
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWh3Rg7yBX
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfROvUVoqw
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJjIQAz9Z9
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVVKaNjWMq
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg6RrwoIPC
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CISnKGa5i
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQl8F8PSSK
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CXWn5R16y
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZIjRR2oua
"I already did, thanks. 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sPtAuAOIl
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI5ppH7Gw9
to go back and prepare for the party."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ztu8u5Jf
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX44niWewg
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yClxmxurZ
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGjRL6gGwz
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpArC2pfsLa
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG9wXmia3j
Joy turned around and I 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmqNlrGZLq
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedvwarfFEJ
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevi8S09cHE
she drew out the one she was looking for.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk9YETJYnj
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5b9Uuf9Gh
She gave me a red short 912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L3RdKGKxP
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIs0k0pqH9
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WdMtTtm1j
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ztBGDrKc
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJOquJgLnG
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTiwb7JrRq
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI85oixhX3v
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMsxGAoVv7
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3v1n30UHu
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nsfcHUxkq
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtWvs7X5tr
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvFyaDkHaq
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j9GYMhpvW
"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.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpAif3RpRU
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrVU9aHnPY
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0sPPImZYF
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ndU796lj8
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSayb5saB4
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQTpUhU3Ql
"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?"912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnFG2RtQpn
"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."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwxiGa71Pu
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSXecxqZAy
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkly3bFLhHO
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKZkY4OG81
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYZTPXNZVi
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.912Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uEZPS6jpn
