"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAUCu5OZ7Kai
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."929Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ5GRRsO6r
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAs4CJasG6d1
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."929Please respect copyright.PENANACeYW7KfOeo
Collins laughed. "Are 929Please respect copyright.PENANAH78tywkhwd
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 929Please respect copyright.PENANAUALCt4agCV
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."929Please respect copyright.PENANAuIYD6WjMpn
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.929Please respect copyright.PENANA3XP7YEzshV
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANAHQZxibzii6
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"929Please respect copyright.PENANA0pKTUjWLCi
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."929Please respect copyright.PENANAwzyZnKg995
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."929Please respect copyright.PENANAsFshCNzVYL
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.929Please respect copyright.PENANAiopZOUdm1v
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.929Please respect copyright.PENANANZ9zwSvRZK
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.929Please respect copyright.PENANAZvKtufh8hn
"Gosh, what to do with 929Please respect copyright.PENANAZSFYQxan2Q
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 929Please respect copyright.PENANABqlKED8RZQ
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 929Please respect copyright.PENANAM8i6B3kx0K
end up in a cell."929Please respect copyright.PENANAqGaXKvR1cn
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."929Please respect copyright.PENANApTxGnEgiXU
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAhcCDcVDmTl
"We promise," said Zoey.929Please respect copyright.PENANAz5mZYOdu2r
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.929Please respect copyright.PENANAqpZBPI2Px8
"Well, that went well," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANAsDuv3BLP4P
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANA42lDyPaoij
"There was nothing he 929Please respect copyright.PENANASB3PrK8Ujw
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 929Please respect copyright.PENANA1fL9YLUloL
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He929Please respect copyright.PENANAo6ewbHYhD2
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.929Please respect copyright.PENANA1WBtMEboWy
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.929Please respect copyright.PENANAKDGxuOwejy
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.929Please respect copyright.PENANAU2OiPbHmvU
The five of us all came 929Please respect copyright.PENANAo6RPUK60Ik
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 929Please respect copyright.PENANACiDFD9cx9K
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.929Please respect copyright.PENANAl1M9X7ngN0
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.929Please respect copyright.PENANAKDtV230iZO
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAc56p8i2Sma
"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."929Please respect copyright.PENANAJdXGHmZI04
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.929Please respect copyright.PENANA8OrgZHxT81
"Okay, then sticking 929Please respect copyright.PENANA5uBDsLt1AG
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till929Please respect copyright.PENANAzCEp2zx2A9
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."929Please respect copyright.PENANA93oUzJAICI
To make our shopping 929Please respect copyright.PENANAu28xW8c06W
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 929Please respect copyright.PENANAMVFcfBKXVV
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 929Please respect copyright.PENANAQNpOS0cjZN
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 929Please respect copyright.PENANAVCOQonMHbT
the shelves when he wasn't looking.929Please respect copyright.PENANAFYsIySYDYx
We even got red 929Please respect copyright.PENANAqxw69sWL0l
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 929Please respect copyright.PENANAKISloUyKvB
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 929Please respect copyright.PENANAnVq52VqxL1
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 929Please respect copyright.PENANA0EuoaU8rkN
though she seems not to show it sometimes.929Please respect copyright.PENANA7GI9gVfjEu
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.929Please respect copyright.PENANALwZKvUkIfO
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.929Please respect copyright.PENANA7f1BCt4blt
"Oh, I'm scared for 929Please respect copyright.PENANAzJVPug3ioJ
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 929Please respect copyright.PENANAStuNXyBZMD
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAaiMdkv5XdT
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."929Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q1lOMWmGU
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."929Please respect copyright.PENANAD1y6bNguep
Mike did just that and 929Please respect copyright.PENANA8729gXU8Gt
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 929Please respect copyright.PENANAMIQ5bPn1Vt
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.929Please respect copyright.PENANABttYbIATPl
Christine came to me with red party hats.929Please respect copyright.PENANAI403btaK0r
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANASmhiOvH0xb
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."929Please respect copyright.PENANAjV6CTCXcQu
"In case what?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAzKP8gqWKKY
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."929Please respect copyright.PENANAKnqvoEOIVF
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."929Please respect copyright.PENANApyi66Sf3v6
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.929Please respect copyright.PENANAwgRwHzVH7j
"Lee is calling," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANAlZwEl4vfnY
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.929Please respect copyright.PENANAbUNTFehtaL
"You guys just never 929Please respect copyright.PENANAXYqBTO10hm
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 929Please respect copyright.PENANAE146JAZkCn
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 929Please respect copyright.PENANANogWKfDKun
you're throwing a party."929Please respect copyright.PENANAIiKZKUSnjf
"Ya, we are," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANA1nm6meSM8T
"All I wanted was for 929Please respect copyright.PENANASJhT2mOCm3
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a929Please respect copyright.PENANAc4AscuSm9S
party out of the blue because you wanted to."929Please respect copyright.PENANAlil2lAJfoN
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.929Please respect copyright.PENANAVp5W2diI8E
"Don't tell me, save if 929Please respect copyright.PENANAVx6cvgk7ys
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 929Please respect copyright.PENANAMi0t8echC1
don't help, Collins might just fire me."929Please respect copyright.PENANACsIdnNAHc8
"You know he wouldn't." I929Please respect copyright.PENANANx7KW6UVGD
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 929Please respect copyright.PENANArRrGRaiz6m
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 929Please respect copyright.PENANANjitRp6sF7
beauty salon at all."929Please respect copyright.PENANAy7XktRtV0B
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.929Please respect copyright.PENANA64lcgF1KiS
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."929Please respect copyright.PENANAbL64LiGp7G
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."929Please respect copyright.PENANAseGvmNSIZd
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."929Please respect copyright.PENANA46iGbLBKVk
"Sure they can. It's not929Please respect copyright.PENANAnv7FZuRMan
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 929Please respect copyright.PENANApqmmGkNcav
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 929Please respect copyright.PENANATd7jgeefD6
call them." 929Please respect copyright.PENANAR2X0WM70nd
"Ya, you do that."929Please respect copyright.PENANAeesqSHeSvY
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."929Please respect copyright.PENANAsnaXkxlnw5
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."929Please respect copyright.PENANAEJblsIpwvZ
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAMaaHvnUfc8
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."929Please respect copyright.PENANApAqaTdUHeW
"Red? Why red?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAz3iSAsqf9l
"Well, it's the theme for the party."929Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Pm1DUxNx
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."929Please respect copyright.PENANAzVFgdnPk1I
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."929Please respect copyright.PENANAJnSSxWBcIL
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAO8wOhkYZNa
"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."929Please respect copyright.PENANA2uMK6axC2e
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."929Please respect copyright.PENANAwjmBXjDRtu
"Thanks, Lee."929Please respect copyright.PENANAkASJPgKGOg
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"929Please respect copyright.PENANA59wNMLhZED
Lee cut the line and I 929Please respect copyright.PENANAe6bgwUT541
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike929Please respect copyright.PENANA783bORrAC7
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 929Please respect copyright.PENANAFr79HeVE1Z
into them with the trolley.929Please respect copyright.PENANAEx3VFtFmIM
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANApv3d6KZSLv
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.929Please respect copyright.PENANAF1DHmmILjg
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAN37rK7MWLv
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.929Please respect copyright.PENANAe0x472hHcE
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."929Please respect copyright.PENANAbFFtB9v1dF
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.929Please respect copyright.PENANA45yE2fcVLf
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.929Please respect copyright.PENANAxUMqW8Lh5q
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANAyDlospWCoL
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAXTShalOfe7
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."929Please respect copyright.PENANAmoVvqGRyOu
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.929Please respect copyright.PENANAFrTHpuea81
"Aren't we almost done 929Please respect copyright.PENANAPcaQT1xN2i
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 929Please respect copyright.PENANAXEKRXuCi72
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."929Please respect copyright.PENANABjbfCSg3AH
"I think we got all that929Please respect copyright.PENANArLl1SebYUe
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 929Please respect copyright.PENANAEaQM24JX0J
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."929Please respect copyright.PENANA2zCFQ8NFUO
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."929Please respect copyright.PENANAehStR4U2J2
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."929Please respect copyright.PENANA0rqRjX2nNn
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAuYstj65Wsw
"Did someone say cake?" 929Please respect copyright.PENANAJzSBPa3Ntw
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 929Please respect copyright.PENANACye6IJAASx
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."929Please respect copyright.PENANAwPVqMtZhv3
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!"929Please respect copyright.PENANApdQOAIXpE8
"Okay, looks like I 929Please respect copyright.PENANATTslbFnv9j
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 929Please respect copyright.PENANAoQRLA9MrAz
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.929Please respect copyright.PENANAFw8nxyMm29
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.929Please respect copyright.PENANATTNiVc1GfL
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.929Please respect copyright.PENANA1gSGnivqmo
"No one knows," said 929Please respect copyright.PENANAcDO9beM5Ik
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 929Please respect copyright.PENANA1s3Ybsmjwn
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."929Please respect copyright.PENANACi1y2tB5Up
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.929Please respect copyright.PENANAUqGNlymEVY
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.929Please respect copyright.PENANAhqSnFoLsSX
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.929Please respect copyright.PENANAH0Fq8NDiss
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.929Please respect copyright.PENANAvdHhbLOalF
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANAtwaSvL0vsC
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."929Please respect copyright.PENANAkqwFh7HClt
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.929Please respect copyright.PENANAt6IqDVcF1B
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.929Please respect copyright.PENANAhvQyr1r1WT
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"929Please respect copyright.PENANA149eqZDU3B
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.929Please respect copyright.PENANASRGm9D635C
"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."929Please respect copyright.PENANAI2uvgLcqag
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.929Please respect copyright.PENANAmmToCKY89s
We quickly went straight929Please respect copyright.PENANAlg8duzfeTv
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly929Please respect copyright.PENANAS7krKNhQwJ
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 929Please respect copyright.PENANA9ORuMpKQyW
easily by passersby.929Please respect copyright.PENANAY9IVXxi9rV
As soon as we were done 929Please respect copyright.PENANAfUHCKkD2Jk
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we929Please respect copyright.PENANARFvYuJc8NU
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 929Please respect copyright.PENANAwZQsNLMrrR
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 929Please respect copyright.PENANAzniy6tIlEm
another.929Please respect copyright.PENANARxB8d56gCM
Surprisingly, as many 929Please respect copyright.PENANAIopBx7NGwd
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 929Please respect copyright.PENANAVwNkcAq0ve
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 929Please respect copyright.PENANABvgeCedgO6
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.929Please respect copyright.PENANAV7itoMUwdj
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 929Please respect copyright.PENANArMFPkG64KF
to come out with were red shoes.929Please respect copyright.PENANARvK0Dc4LCG
"This is getting 929Please respect copyright.PENANArAEL2aIoOt
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a929Please respect copyright.PENANALFUMbxTB6U
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 929Please respect copyright.PENANAsmjllCbLgT
can't seem to find the right outfit."929Please respect copyright.PENANAydQWnxrWWw
"Shouldn't we have just 929Please respect copyright.PENANAyINOdoyn43
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw929Please respect copyright.PENANAfXKccUx1LU
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."929Please respect copyright.PENANAmBDfVorSJF
"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.929Please respect copyright.PENANAeafvBmQ6AD
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.929Please respect copyright.PENANAf9zFuhqBqg
"I feel so too," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANAiqJ61CpSiE
"You know the offer is 929Please respect copyright.PENANAUvHwSwrgFO
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 929Please respect copyright.PENANAeLxvFF8boy
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.929Please respect copyright.PENANAL7gLAJRNF2
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."929Please respect copyright.PENANAjG6ngtF1In
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."929Please respect copyright.PENANAEWcoiN3uEg
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."929Please respect copyright.PENANAOaEq1iWViI
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."929Please respect copyright.PENANAwFUDlUKejl
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.929Please respect copyright.PENANA0bK7ncl7W4
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANAFK3OwyD3V3
"No, I'm calling Lee. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAabphcFRSrB
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 929Please respect copyright.PENANApP3s410fQB
phone began to ring at the under end.929Please respect copyright.PENANAIy3aMlHdhe
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANAHK3sEkbtgy
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"929Please respect copyright.PENANArPZ4iFUKR9
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.929Please respect copyright.PENANAhjffDhIGhR
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAIOcpoY1wFR
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAqf0Y6CTvms
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAl7pCn5PdeF
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."929Please respect copyright.PENANA6sAQdzxbPd
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."929Please respect copyright.PENANA7euEbNmCze
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAMQr7E45Wrq
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."929Please respect copyright.PENANAvXi6Y0Cutw
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.929Please respect copyright.PENANAC8I5dugGie
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.929Please respect copyright.PENANAE8gKQQyVB1
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.929Please respect copyright.PENANAbx5b6LeWb3
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.929Please respect copyright.PENANAnBsb7xq6zf
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."929Please respect copyright.PENANAaZQWrOS0Rh
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.929Please respect copyright.PENANAerEVjS2NuC
"Well, lucky her," said 929Please respect copyright.PENANAyaKcJqwk20
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 929Please respect copyright.PENANAeQB4OU65bR
like she found what she was looking for."929Please respect copyright.PENANAPQn1ihKLjo
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.929Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z0SUmRIeM
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 929Please respect copyright.PENANAB68VtP3cAb
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 929Please respect copyright.PENANAwlqp0v3BFY
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.929Please respect copyright.PENANA6ibOBeMuSz
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."929Please respect copyright.PENANA42CjYTMq6m
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.929Please respect copyright.PENANACqj3IYKDDy
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.929Please respect copyright.PENANABqChygjMsg
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.929Please respect copyright.PENANAfwcxFmCbBI
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.929Please respect copyright.PENANA7kTDnFYSlv
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."929Please respect copyright.PENANAVirmE0cmn8
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.929Please respect copyright.PENANAXlxQT3OKFk
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANA17VXIDrPjK
"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.929Please respect copyright.PENANAmcrZH7VGvx
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."929Please respect copyright.PENANACnIcxGlOvu
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."929Please respect copyright.PENANADnDaQYKZUC
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."929Please respect copyright.PENANAKV71rcHnGW
I kept on looking in the929Please respect copyright.PENANA0SCsry8kVn
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 929Please respect copyright.PENANA89SB0NUhBF
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.929Please respect copyright.PENANAIDRURKteyO
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.929Please respect copyright.PENANAgjcVU4lEUg
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.929Please respect copyright.PENANAVNLk7B2f6M
"I like it," said 929Please respect copyright.PENANA0vqQV6M2Z4
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And929Please respect copyright.PENANAVZbG6TSRSH
they are really going to match with your heels."929Please respect copyright.PENANALa8UIVoW3x
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.929Please respect copyright.PENANAicEn6v4orx
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.929Please respect copyright.PENANA0t7bEbrrcY
"I didn't ask for your 929Please respect copyright.PENANAdIzWvZShSK
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 929Please respect copyright.PENANAeRdAPEV3ZA
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."929Please respect copyright.PENANAIBvA7M00T4
"But I bet she looked more prettier."929Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Sv2uoQYH
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.929Please respect copyright.PENANAbyu5HOmy1t
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."929Please respect copyright.PENANAmN6o80pDhL
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.929Please respect copyright.PENANATP0dUEIhmr
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.929Please respect copyright.PENANAlts7ZKEsH6
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.929Please respect copyright.PENANAUz1tLQR0Gi
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANAAZfpxFYXCP
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.929Please respect copyright.PENANALRLXeu7p1f
Christine ran off to the929Please respect copyright.PENANATvhH4DGMlK
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 929Please respect copyright.PENANArsfp3g5VNJ
her hand and back in her usual clothes.929Please respect copyright.PENANA7k0CMoS7Bl
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.929Please respect copyright.PENANASxCdyqB2zk
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.929Please respect copyright.PENANAYy6OChGSZp
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."929Please respect copyright.PENANAILQOaNy0oh
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."929Please respect copyright.PENANAbT9UI5ihFq
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.929Please respect copyright.PENANAhgtZqF1WbT
"I feel the last four 929Please respect copyright.PENANAT4W7DMBmyd
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 929Please respect copyright.PENANAGyI1SfGFB6
out a red top that didn't feel right still.929Please respect copyright.PENANA5HQKf6NesQ
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."929Please respect copyright.PENANA9InvPeIXPl
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."929Please respect copyright.PENANARsz5kRqw2Y
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."929Please respect copyright.PENANA9WwHQPrFGk
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.929Please respect copyright.PENANAkgK1L6mHd8
"True," said Zoey from the counter.929Please respect copyright.PENANAFzsejNPID5
"You can do it well 929Please respect copyright.PENANA9jKuv0gNMX
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 929Please respect copyright.PENANAnj8nIBUnsW
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 929Please respect copyright.PENANAHTKRhWIhOo
rack.929Please respect copyright.PENANA7Gs8FU41pP
"And you don't have to 929Please respect copyright.PENANAvEAKzJah3J
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 929Please respect copyright.PENANA6QMBZ6HpPI
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."929Please respect copyright.PENANA4FrKeHVdJR
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANAjPkz5BYXan
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAkmuzSME2FW
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.929Please respect copyright.PENANAzMftrpnbII
"Me neither," said Daniel.929Please respect copyright.PENANAVEyi2QFd9j
"Well, now you know," said Lee.929Please respect copyright.PENANAuNVJj27Ibj
"Gosh, there is nothing 929Please respect copyright.PENANANqyK1wrlHj
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 929Please respect copyright.PENANAQl213dW0Rn
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.929Please respect copyright.PENANAh4nqlflPZD
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.929Please respect copyright.PENANACbCGSIrHBp
"Let me go in the last aisle."929Please respect copyright.PENANA8Er96a1zJX
Just as I was about to 929Please respect copyright.PENANAZLYLmy8KrU
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I929Please respect copyright.PENANATCwN0y4d0W
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 929Please respect copyright.PENANA9UDb5vEriW
backwards.929Please respect copyright.PENANAdC3YEDCwoc
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.929Please respect copyright.PENANAEZRsJxHLxu
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.929Please respect copyright.PENANANxoky3SGsB
"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.929Please respect copyright.PENANAuCHLXL0Edz
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.929Please respect copyright.PENANAECBOMr5ScS
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."929Please respect copyright.PENANAiwdzhboFHU
I looked at the person 929Please respect copyright.PENANA21m50attY3
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 929Please respect copyright.PENANAafFWPgMO0v
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.929Please respect copyright.PENANAzMbV9AOgEG
"Hey," said Zoey as she 929Please respect copyright.PENANAvolVyxpY75
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,929Please respect copyright.PENANAgh829h2NNA
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 929Please respect copyright.PENANABHyi144X4n
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.929Please respect copyright.PENANAelwAGhFrFO
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."929Please respect copyright.PENANAJuHhkO6aj7
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.929Please respect copyright.PENANAHBYs0TyVVt
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.929Please respect copyright.PENANAjRUOdiJfky
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.929Please respect copyright.PENANAfSovGWG6P2
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.929Please respect copyright.PENANA7aoAXWdd0n
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.929Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zaf4RrH2F
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.929Please respect copyright.PENANAhuKuEvgiBg
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.929Please respect copyright.PENANAXe6AIAcJEN
Immediately my two 929Please respect copyright.PENANAwmdxGLc2S6
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 929Please respect copyright.PENANAmNXoobf3aW
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.929Please respect copyright.PENANAjXnQOLlPE7
Then all of the sudden, a929Please respect copyright.PENANAcc2hvOeGUa
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 929Please respect copyright.PENANAn0QqT1dgOT
was coming from. It was Christine.929Please respect copyright.PENANAsd8HQqvFqK
She quickly covered her 929Please respect copyright.PENANAPyKwOocaji
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 929Please respect copyright.PENANAO8R8EjNmwc
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.929Please respect copyright.PENANAYm4hOFvggf
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANAqXELWTDxpc
"Spare her," said 929Please respect copyright.PENANA9cHHlTyRdB
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 929Please respect copyright.PENANAu5Mp5WfG6S
ourselves contained when we see famous people."929Please respect copyright.PENANAn61Fr3YLKa
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."929Please respect copyright.PENANABgRtKW7bC1
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.929Please respect copyright.PENANActgBQwKvJQ
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAQIKZ5kq6fM
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.929Please respect copyright.PENANAfy7KYU8R0g
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."929Please respect copyright.PENANA1t7Bv8QiJv
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"929Please respect copyright.PENANAuFPIrlWRKm
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.929Please respect copyright.PENANATq7615wNX8
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.929Please respect copyright.PENANAcY80MQnuec
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."929Please respect copyright.PENANAtkuWcDG3mf
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.929Please respect copyright.PENANABWrxg0ccBd
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAfi9RENnjSf
"I already did, thanks. 929Please respect copyright.PENANAh6r7cUclEf
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 929Please respect copyright.PENANABo0B0Smrmq
to go back and prepare for the party."929Please respect copyright.PENANA2OXyMW4LxQ
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.929Please respect copyright.PENANAO3XiCPNfNP
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.929Please respect copyright.PENANAHaGAAKr9Sw
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.929Please respect copyright.PENANAtl3Eox8mFC
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.929Please respect copyright.PENANAqKM7A25vjh
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."929Please respect copyright.PENANA7OVzcKiCPJ
Joy turned around and I 929Please respect copyright.PENANAi89kUtEMii
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 929Please respect copyright.PENANAZw16eoLG2m
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 929Please respect copyright.PENANAjcNZa9iRof
she drew out the one she was looking for.929Please respect copyright.PENANAk9okNKKS8F
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."929Please respect copyright.PENANALURgw9iyjQ
She gave me a red short 929Please respect copyright.PENANAbYl0WJX3lb
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I929Please respect copyright.PENANAVmCs7aLla9
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.929Please respect copyright.PENANA2DNECQA2qK
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.929Please respect copyright.PENANAIhIRSYGU9J
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."929Please respect copyright.PENANAfI38Rwk7ml
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."929Please respect copyright.PENANAKsgwM1qIIW
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.929Please respect copyright.PENANAMEGt2IMwJr
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.929Please respect copyright.PENANAdu6B4WnT6H
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."929Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sul7vVSpj
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."929Please respect copyright.PENANA09B2wS2Clb
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.929Please respect copyright.PENANArjzpMb55MC
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.929Please respect copyright.PENANApteF3Zhyyf
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.929Please respect copyright.PENANAhlo4w4dN48
"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.929Please respect copyright.PENANAVLSZWbXYgm
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."929Please respect copyright.PENANAFkEfhwVQwM
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."929Please respect copyright.PENANAe3Fa4yIHTF
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.929Please respect copyright.PENANAiWeCTp1Dlw
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.929Please respect copyright.PENANAl3O9CTWQlY
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."929Please respect copyright.PENANAWrYMECbPhG
"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?"929Please respect copyright.PENANAFfCfkq5Cbv
"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."929Please respect copyright.PENANAcGuYG671qL
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.929Please respect copyright.PENANAdd62HYQUaM
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.929Please respect copyright.PENANATLzcpfIZXR
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.929Please respect copyright.PENANAgLpE6qctoG
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."929Please respect copyright.PENANAumzJ7GUGMb
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.929Please respect copyright.PENANAXXWN48xxIw
