"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYvsFw6URI
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hdEpQPUnJ
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXnE1KWCgo
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F06djctL1
Collins laughed. "Are 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pTvKCmlC8
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTJcvJrBk1
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdXGHfsy0h
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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmktrRklpq
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMemBkkE0tm
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayRB8Dm6YH
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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0axAet1hQ
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnV7LzmAfo
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76TypRvgPG
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMumL4iB1b3
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCirySfHDMm
"Gosh, what to do with 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfgG7FmMfB
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuKk8WprtB
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFi6GOaG9Y
end up in a cell."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkFfjJFCid
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvCNNq65KK
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmfN1Hle13
"We promise," said Zoey.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh1APUpXfW
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSOpeSfXEn
"Well, that went well," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Nbuz7JbQ
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyFJw56b0g
"There was nothing he 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONc2P9WSDu
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3W8eBnugV
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfpOgovirP
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLtWClLG3c
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhW1V94Y60
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvCEEgcTAa
The five of us all came 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmai2UZ8Gmi
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xnmiMBdSR
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxvICIknnb
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6tmH6LY6r
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTbwAiplpT
"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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn34luQcMES
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENCBnuTIPV
"Okay, then sticking 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7IWTqUJ2C
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlKA5S9uuZ
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WRRmL4ukG
To make our shopping 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj8LXgOSU8
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsgKFL5L1t
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM7foJn5po
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQXqzm0pFj
the shelves when he wasn't looking.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWnQ0Xm3FU
We even got red 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqmYg2l0uC
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1WAz9qRGS
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik40eByeFo
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWhQmBfun6
though she seems not to show it sometimes.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDnmGkgTOa
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUHJFfAff5
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZJtph2KVY
"Oh, I'm scared for 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM3IcocFjV
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKgWWl8Kf0
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis5p26gqqc
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLypyoEc358
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBju30ceXJV
Mike did just that and 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw7SxhqQtm
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2K3vxYP4l
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XUv2rvu1p
Christine came to me with red party hats.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq4v9h90yH
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0E0RhP35K
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxszAMVh1NA
"In case what?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErL1tjZO8z
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ZEyyLiJa
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82LwLAELyM
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriW3fleehy
"Lee is calling," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTMmLsdcmS
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG5SsSHh29
"You guys just never 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoAwQUD5eU
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybJSYg1LxO
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssoorUAmTk
you're throwing a party."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOeMTl0nGT
"Ya, we are," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieS2ABZORs
"All I wanted was for 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM21hmPdOQ
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNGbrGTKjx
party out of the blue because you wanted to."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcbZv75z1x
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1a8bOGRfM
"Don't tell me, save if 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p1ugdK6Dn
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJnrVn8cM2
don't help, Collins might just fire me."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96W9g7CgY3
"You know he wouldn't." I835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpljK0Dgkl
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80AYHIg9yb
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss7Yp6ttkh
beauty salon at all."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tEEAQ3R4t
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V2UoGDEf8
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe4vxeQQeV
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHexlUW8eG
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdocMHT6Gkb
"Sure they can. It's not835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3d7thWt9I
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXsQcCkQMO
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsCKj0Ey9k
call them." 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm8mENUO2N
"Ya, you do that."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mVOI6OhQb
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgrOCIaEBY
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q4YPRMGCe
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUlOBVcpdg
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJwIK2EWeb
"Red? Why red?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgMLlMj4MN
"Well, it's the theme for the party."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tiDAB6CaG
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38pfjltGl6
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzon2GYKjL
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZ2DsevNx
"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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4A2BYKZqs
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtFssX2HX0
"Thanks, Lee."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3gJfvThys
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagpaoLX3b
Lee cut the line and I 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXj8Qz5310
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DrtMGH0C3
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfb6meMoOA
into them with the trolley.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTLMjldi6U
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH5vZDCIiv
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPffNXaZYS
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf37PnQvOF
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ussnrkqya
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOgiaE2i6W
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTX5wnNJSi
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQMDv0MofO
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BSLbtsOUN
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDlODioaAh
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhxM9X8sla
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiLrrG20Rj
"Aren't we almost done 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a3d9FNyrU
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvaJE8yley
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBswCWNACN
"I think we got all that835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO78cjhwgGn
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEVaFJdPbu
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy13s0uX77
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOy43KOdWy
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlJKynYwsD
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfDl0k5knv
"Did someone say cake?" 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIB7AIPRdH
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2A68bH1kH
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4oJmjMJrz
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!"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3eXPRdKr8
"Okay, looks like I 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyqhCeRsj2
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwRMMhPT0T
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMvyezRo7q
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLQRx15oAL
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEx0wJIHxs
"No one knows," said 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5jcapOdu6
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73R4YL26M
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW7voAu6if
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCTSQuXquc
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlapgZPa4Oj
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdJf0MBRvQ
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEUR500PND
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18AxUGVOr8
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsLUo00Xxr
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hB9hqwFN
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPPlESbZhI
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDEeFo3eVg
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3jhVbRskj
"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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78FxwpFi8O
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuA82eEE9a
We quickly went straight835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNru7c5LqB
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHg0r2PxLf
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLne0q36XvZ
easily by passersby.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz9y1KM4jT
As soon as we were done 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhyKTTwmGP
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLk92Sk4H3
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGnxQrKfIC
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rybHomcNb
another.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAplY7gPwu
Surprisingly, as many 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfV7JX16dc
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2PpVNjtMd
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWqm9E0ZDX
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJIIRhcOWf
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FcJe0avUL
to come out with were red shoes.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfWPQ2oZTI
"This is getting 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb09aO307j
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGNlZYu3mz
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUwAzOJiJz
can't seem to find the right outfit."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPnWl0DOER
"Shouldn't we have just 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfumR92RBg
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAcE9alwLO
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqPQz1xZ6
"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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Q5wWfwRx
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc6wG07fN5
"I feel so too," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKHQqyqPEK
"You know the offer is 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3OUkbiQbY
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKc11I2dhz
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSlgGhSiMZ
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80erzGoMxs
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIiuafRjzP
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYBguYbck2
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ8ZEedQTI
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsehqBfP3y
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN31iLWEKEj
"No, I'm calling Lee. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUVcIIZkMo
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6YfWAE2Fc
phone began to ring at the under end.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW0o4s5hFL
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMYXfMu1bE
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVvgZWrco3
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgoXsgoMTH
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjexO77EFhq
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qRqrCaQs4
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIzHFPlb2V
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE5vlh9UPg
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336Ypo7UIH
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGs8uBzISm
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs2bOcinxY
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKhfz9p7nE
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfxdtgIHxw
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK4CY35RjI
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvJ1d93hA9
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwUXoUIeAF
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4GtY9tLKG
"Well, lucky her," said 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsdmknySXr
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdBb3ssm6C
like she found what she was looking for."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68bkEeKCSO
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg89i8htZ4z
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXZeojEWKD
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa4KnnjJq4
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9lAjrlyvm
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHjeBgNu6
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOa6yUqMbX
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsVvXQwJtO
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZQxI2uSMU
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA1pNr81SE
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYPtfOS4oH
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoscVEc1qOF
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj0a8Q6Ggy
"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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccUJEWmvzw
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ULemxB89
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A2cK4Lrr7
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aoZgGSYEo
I kept on looking in the835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCgFI0IF52
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCwXkCdoLw
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppr0wfYvCn
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJjdl1j6G8
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRxFt6PmQh
"I like it," said 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEZ1mOCgR9
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWbOAX3Klu
they are really going to match with your heels."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t4FqWH8IB
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqiOP2VRIy
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3bNZ5jk2i
"I didn't ask for your 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5IcKmXVCO
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPy2bT6eWt
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXlNduqDyF
"But I bet she looked more prettier."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0iR577cK
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw2kFQtUvV
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrB5QS5Z48
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LaDWv9hxl
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqcNsaD5Dd
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZxg6bXvWm
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpbAsTk2bS
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1QcwwETBG
Christine ran off to the835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0MMprAiWo
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgPFBDWSjl
her hand and back in her usual clothes.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqs445i1Ps
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfVW1NORnr
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQpdJFR41P
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr1ahx97k1
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbtbCCrBXX
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQkjKgD9LK
"I feel the last four 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl1HQMnCwf
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqHSyCAJCD
out a red top that didn't feel right still.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX87LAayxJT
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD1GiYAYfV
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ8eJNrtfT
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmNqAdXp4w
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eLbHvKTgY
"True," said Zoey from the counter.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJVD8tsnr
"You can do it well 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTJw3kLMI9
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz67kX6mmC1
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqZDyBFZUI
rack.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7L1o9IK6K
"And you don't have to 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5x77WYSZC
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRv3GM5R5
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf0Gwtvcbh
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EuKlr4TZi
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkXV8kUR1K
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3p8Cyhs3z
"Me neither," said Daniel.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvd09UfP0T
"Well, now you know," said Lee.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk1Q8anqa7
"Gosh, there is nothing 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUftowfPoay
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefwpZ1gXlj
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKglD3ofLc
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjDEYIi6rd
"Let me go in the last aisle."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfgfbbfzrr
Just as I was about to 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUAbtMZg3r
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLjV7BferL
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjaU8vxaZt
backwards.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AfGEqCntb
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHgIMYYv2h
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8uVdVCA6y
"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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC6L4AEwd2
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRaUAG0hej
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWc0SP136d
I looked at the person 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEEgXN1diO
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZDOOwMEg6
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8r5ZPrQPq
"Hey," said Zoey as she 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhK4qiUSmF
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmyqQxJByv
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q2wgBdKDL
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMdnPswSF
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGelE612cou
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvl2KUJzis
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCKxjavog1
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3gmYj4S3o
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Gsywlw2J
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmgcMSfZK1
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTWDRRgHn0
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBXd7IWVhb
Immediately my two 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVvUQEaT7S
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMP6PZBPSJ
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC0uAbWdbb
Then all of the sudden, a835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFKWbqBkiC
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy1v9JqeH5
was coming from. It was Christine.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMblOJfY0uw
She quickly covered her 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbnC76PEZ4
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQWzYCCTK
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxMmPXPWDU
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElsQv1FpSm
"Spare her," said 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsYPp1rMY6
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvdbOeYPP7
ourselves contained when we see famous people."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC4Diihphc
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yYhHZl6w3
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTUoXha0Pl
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrWt2DHnii
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhUKOctv0j
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8acu7J5OCJ
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYqXjlnHur
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwy12Bg5fo
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPNt18WTv
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK8LYEnsRO
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HN3irhexu
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpwOTyqD3k
"I already did, thanks. 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo7OoBNk8f
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OiGC9ue2U
to go back and prepare for the party."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkSmEV0sPN
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dpgIdo6Ko
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuxNAwtiaz
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgEqm3gRzO
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvBhVizGY3
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRKFO4G4Hy
Joy turned around and I 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoaAxroz3U
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBD0YcCT9M
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiKKE1w44X
she drew out the one she was looking for.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmC7EoNbyv
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNt5btMIwi
She gave me a red short 835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkqLINsFyP
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNqm8PVBZo
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG2tjasbRp
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpzHuU0VsK
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhBVPN9wV0
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyuoic7LzH
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLK45qyWGg
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvfsOUcPQQ
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuqG7wIYcc
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOry8nRByt
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY1xSUWhYM
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9WD0nA64f
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4D7nZ59o2
"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.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOXSSQIki0
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG34h4p2FZ
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGcF3ugaNd
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lCKIf9Pst
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT1qSDwpnP
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBsZI9twk
"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?"835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeffLWfRh0M
"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."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XhlnH3gxb
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHweS8DO7D
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fzmYFxkTj
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLTc9qS5sG
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN6dbcgSGM
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.835Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmFML2oAoY
