"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxo7KWdPeU
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLV7NzmF76
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WCzs5clmW
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRoF1h9TqT
Collins laughed. "Are 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUmMqE58Ix
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiEqJIpsy7
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7dtI86YrR
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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4S8IJ8rV
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUK0bKqT0X
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkPf6AwafL
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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sCthfmFQW
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhmGZ0T4Fa
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx0syRtpH3
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz5U5WjtmQ
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSLuG5mXli
"Gosh, what to do with 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVYs8J7LIY
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmO3mJyjY4
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx7eaNVtyb
end up in a cell."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgcYniHUQg
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFajMCUc0o8
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRMrEgg8e9
"We promise," said Zoey.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIGjWOv3g4
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaS4QBg2Rc
"Well, that went well," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9688Rj14v
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqIJOtNa1d
"There was nothing he 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcrM2Ri1vl
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmoFGLzNcY
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT8LjcCmKI
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1EGF3ySmK
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXgnpER5Ea
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwAseGnYNo
The five of us all came 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjAtmYslgz
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRtV6uRq1o
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ23fBlV7R
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1kDwWObsf
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafdNrpowQm
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbK4UVv3RT
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P59jbXNn7
"Okay, then sticking 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqAfZrh37q
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tSbIYqhDs
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3iHNysux1
To make our shopping 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTGI2zUwvn
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGi6hES6i
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT6ZVkQ8nT
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLhCZKmlgn
the shelves when he wasn't looking.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLRjMQ9rVJ
We even got red 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvCifHZxXc
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxffMIVMfJ
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMDg2CrTqk
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTkt1JD4W7
though she seems not to show it sometimes.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DKP9RkiDD
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qK9D4i7nb
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhFT5Kz1gk
"Oh, I'm scared for 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzBTN7VUmM
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZutKAYFwdv
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquVg6bcIsp
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrjkPlYdSt
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEhbb3mTJ3
Mike did just that and 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIceSo0ckc
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz6fXJ9HHU
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTtwdy2AxY
Christine came to me with red party hats.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeaAsreuR5
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN8dIyBdwW
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7MwLVKF5O
"In case what?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnVjPoj6Yf
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GGfPCsyLw
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46g9SZJ555
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFzBcdf4uB
"Lee is calling," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcRNKVbMI
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9cDkmyJFB
"You guys just never 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ZNUI5b3u
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JXBiQKgNz
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYQYS5sH22
you're throwing a party."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbC1E4ebZm
"Ya, we are," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYNUrgZ2yw
"All I wanted was for 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxgewJcaYt
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcF7bSoza0
party out of the blue because you wanted to."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9XRqqmWQw
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90F2HgMFBm
"Don't tell me, save if 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxp6seh7Qj
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4VwksUI9b
don't help, Collins might just fire me."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrDKjvo4L5
"You know he wouldn't." I791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn1EP8JSVi
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVciFmU3xj
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPHmJE3jLS
beauty salon at all."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd5bUn2PXC
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVm1s2ILXh
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPwumqhWr7
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtJGWm9OJo
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvQFq8jnXw
"Sure they can. It's not791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3CPrWbgVZ
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4c38A7VYB
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALKfXQz98j
call them." 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalQ3TOahrd
"Ya, you do that."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPO6yo1p7H
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQHfsZ8wsu
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHCJ9EUre1
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj3TyIoJxv
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1EgbXVqRM
"Red? Why red?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfOqQwVkwO
"Well, it's the theme for the party."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzuCQgDnsW
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqb5p2J63h
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FRtTrck9Q
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjoYX8JZpQ
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApumTReUFO
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6guhVgy9N
"Thanks, Lee."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEr3iIOils
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTtUuCt1LJ
Lee cut the line and I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvI5APaWUD
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7FhTjDU3q
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6sQNKWxt8
into them with the trolley.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUW3EGXFnG
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI68Pa3eNw
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYyZ8Jc40O
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfUskIKZAE
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMDN4WzbsW
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxE2yMTxCo
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KsYIUjGW7
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D6fJ7iLdt
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw671Su4X1B
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ0zDPoXUZ
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk871ORK26
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ueWIshVb
"Aren't we almost done 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPiLubmHfD
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu4KKv3vBe
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNsDaK6WpR
"I think we got all that791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxypgEfl0C
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcdvMnlTSA
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYf0PqFZMx
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdwabTWmy4
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAlOSyXhDj
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa24i0PEDOA
"Did someone say cake?" 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcBr40OvSt
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSx7xcqxda
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqQzrFuE90
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!"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT19MdLXxo
"Okay, looks like I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKZ2d1xh0h
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b4dPNLgu9
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8rZlMsfem
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFhlsVsdlF
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzgyizcGVA
"No one knows," said 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ETGSlnBk
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWCumhBQXV
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqol4VjMvwa
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZImSpqeAUp
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1twTvaBqn
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXYXpAmSt
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HYDJlnpvd
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MeJAHNieA
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMs8mZjOc6
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1U0TQZeUj
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovFJLp2TZf
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiYOjGfNIM
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUYrE98l5
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaENMBiwZ6
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUycoIeqjx
We quickly went straight791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R6xqiHRjm
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpPiuEo4Az
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrovbDEiaj
easily by passersby.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNckQHQT6D
As soon as we were done 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ir1L9u8r6
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMQszHD7B3
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzV5tRpykI
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEdcWx95ZS
another.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSNU3cLp1J
Surprisingly, as many 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOmxG2aPsg
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxmSPWFWTJ
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8G8z8SpcH
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3keJ3gpiE
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLfQSeEx1E
to come out with were red shoes.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOloFQAM9xh
"This is getting 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM5tHuIJ6w
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemM1mCEprE
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FD1Yfy5un
can't seem to find the right outfit."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vkuOIxj6I
"Shouldn't we have just 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD0Uz3JB2Q
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1mhXeVSbv
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP1pF0ptJl
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlygaSoNSe
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lao0S5bZM
"I feel so too," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYOCFDZuTN
"You know the offer is 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTjMcch6xL
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JAMkUh9T2
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzIPFN8Fi3
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRysvge8ey
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliSp9XEGsA
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa3igqeJJX
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmc1SOoZzc
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xdCb2jT5e
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFoCfF7DYw
"No, I'm calling Lee. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBgAP6v2NE
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZbwQrqkN
phone began to ring at the under end.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrUoUZ74xX
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqF7GpfBUi
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9koBZtXXl
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetxNcmNEMf
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAEbAM8wXX
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimfQruai7D
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyQ7FUdHig
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3isU9n7iC
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMie5rrKo1W
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu67TR9td5A
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaz45IncX2
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4Q7uqiVS
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5wJKd1LhE
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCmmHp9kvr
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7PqFlXIBm
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfq8zopZN7
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCEaR6xJzs
"Well, lucky her," said 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHlSxYoEux
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHMjmfXWTw
like she found what she was looking for."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDLaQRKRsx
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMQfN7iy5N
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbgrerMNz5
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO77HzEBH3y
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFQLrSuuKk
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l0B1mz5Yl
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahgBG4HGPg
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH7frsyDAW
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkZCMbpL3I
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgopj6gQV3
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqCPFHiRLS
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhZ7r9XrX6
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MMvLDfqAk
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyL1YoRlsm
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgyVMYjdpO
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sdi9oU4Vp
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQOfqerpW3
I kept on looking in the791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgQCGLWpnp
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeVogJD6iu
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRaSPvtfXn
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ9s4crZFB
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNMXEPInZ8
"I like it," said 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZFXp3mrLj
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSanZm0acGy
they are really going to match with your heels."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiDRqY1pdA
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCzx5hhnfT
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8VqPs4tc9
"I didn't ask for your 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5l5BFgSne
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidxwB6ncS
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSQG5pUX6N
"But I bet she looked more prettier."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi66dfrmfq
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTyhPnuyL1
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqbzyqXdta
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph9QdddHU0
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IIOikZ4im
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pmqn1Jjeq
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8tHXPhQU8
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXKiNNPmW3
Christine ran off to the791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhM7Yup4v1
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr56cH2K1N
her hand and back in her usual clothes.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxqgGdNEab
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaWEmJdPg8
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHnnTl3Ngr
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZzdgAVoox
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZmCdZA8di
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO67I5d8q3
"I feel the last four 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOkQIC5FOs
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUQAaKRRzF
out a red top that didn't feel right still.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qvjdLYNJj
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhKp7tkqlk
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvv4X7WjfP
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQR5dggllQ
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaNgozPq3k
"True," said Zoey from the counter.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsB0ZObsvD
"You can do it well 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR1diqsYaH
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi7fplHaBx
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9UGwK7hnQ
rack.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUfbeGHMZe
"And you don't have to 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91ahXVXYn6
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiPXFWT4G3
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSIwtMC9sM
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJnoYWu09Q
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOXw4Fjkny
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAB2cRtb5X
"Me neither," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUXoY9gOmL
"Well, now you know," said Lee.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN5dTp4fWQ
"Gosh, there is nothing 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU670b4QEbQ
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6mHkgLB9Z
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9RLNr1STg
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYREQH2uxf
"Let me go in the last aisle."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d6jmLkrQH
Just as I was about to 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4NYchVr9
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcRQtksL0N
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUMHXi1siw
backwards.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem0MjdEq00
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUCRVyeR1L
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3xGVhN5Kp
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRwVg7VAyK
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg7ty6Gl6I
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTRmqEiH4S
I looked at the person 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2fvVTBlBd
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljCKpRtR1H
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YfhW1kQw5
"Hey," said Zoey as she 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7zlwGr19D
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnDY6ulc1v
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59vXeuGVLx
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50xZaUgeQ1
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwloptkF7TU
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7VpwSzNS8
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLzfAR7aCj
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEtJfj2GzQ
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuIVTg99hG
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgk9F58kzb
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwvKza6yBm
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns8kkDQ66T
Immediately my two 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZoRUlWULN
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKIKww7chI
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMCv2n1HGa
Then all of the sudden, a791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffuB6Uavba
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kgameiEN4
was coming from. It was Christine.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwB5iY3SaX
She quickly covered her 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wGOCbKzaX
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhAhs9Ihhz
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZNSWDJvVQ
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3aoWEwNL8
"Spare her," said 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO49qxk0Z09
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUwd9BZdi4
ourselves contained when we see famous people."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkT8YuOzn7
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPivV6UPhWT
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEx8wnyUv4
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLYYe9S72F
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvx8IrgI30
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Mc7rcnUT
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLBwKYvRA
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVygnbYOGi7
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89a6YvpODX
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecz78aO1mN
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA7nRi8t5k
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMSLxEax0O
"I already did, thanks. 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndfk3kFZgi
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M2QmLDaY2
to go back and prepare for the party."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCAPpL4Wmq
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QHXJMyVM9
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjgljn393u
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGYoy4CTFz
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwEOVBSS9Y
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdpW8vUIxd
Joy turned around and I 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo4SL18FcD
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I9NtG8EYu
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY4ort79Bx
she drew out the one she was looking for.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriCGGnPNVi
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmOQmr5E8J
She gave me a red short 791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpraw8RaF10
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaQWqktiqR
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlRK7iLtSk
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eZiXvGxfv
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBEuJjywyS
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCgxefAWG0
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17w7UKuPJg
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcgikhEx0r
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ZOAU1I0R
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilicaqYEFX
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa3UJwK1BH
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEacyFsCA35
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtd8vEnZ0i
"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.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVUURNU8zk
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwBfgWx7C5
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQfJA1rZUW
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyNphk3MIt
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCzz7BnZfP
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyK1CzY9h0
"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?"791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TPHK5uiMk
"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."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXON6tPxqkD
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNjCyn7i9F
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG9Nmghm1F
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtHQkJHVtI
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmAZUWDcrl
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.791Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TiBjLudue
