"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEALG68NDv
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS79fb0XiOS
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK1yv16TKr
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXd0NoaNRz
Collins laughed. "Are 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqQkYYXYxR
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJQV4R3zui
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmajJReoWUa
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.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LOIsPkzn6
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhCqBpueP
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeMDEuOA0b
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."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirelDlV4it
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv5uircUsd
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOwi1Odgy
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwHa0U9N8Q
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ855JlwnXD6
"Gosh, what to do with 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBpsP575bL
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSsxeCXfdC
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwczZLuTX8
end up in a cell."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyhBJC6Q73
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrPfSFiOM7
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepy1CnlYWb
"We promise," said Zoey.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLUpYpmNJ4
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe4Fyj3Iff
"Well, that went well," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtAMsoIQo4
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcd6W4UqKa
"There was nothing he 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaopc5IMalg
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUScsoA3FQ
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqtxty67i2
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHRrCGzqBw
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTSEi9h4Te
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X6RWGuiLo
The five of us all came 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFpAEV4XfT
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvQyqhVv7O
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVi7cSWAfC
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXUSbdE4nV
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsrPm99PjB
"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."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ57DPRhbd
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWcMmhPFiH
"Okay, then sticking 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wsWOPqUBV
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBtLBVFGm
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwo5SUpqbe
To make our shopping 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PZ3ESr4QW
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIICZH94oGw
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEVvVtd0zP
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj16CkgmUa
the shelves when he wasn't looking.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj02OnHMer
We even got red 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEdG6JRNnh
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMPM8EpEgk
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYsv7AGGpk
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WOB6qWpIj
though she seems not to show it sometimes.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszYWe10BCI
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue5hsxZdIq
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPuAEhWlnc
"Oh, I'm scared for 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FzlOClcVz
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4JUiLeWuP
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhZtoGbOoC
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRDC6Gs29n
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLJFKYE6Wd
Mike did just that and 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcThHcBeSZ
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu3Hri6noV
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlchzSZNotX
Christine came to me with red party hats.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SfDGs9bHC
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMixzzjJl7
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj3xamv8JX
"In case what?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8TKn5T03w
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzkAsO48Fq
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71jqFCJTt3
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEolbi2a71L
"Lee is calling," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4r26FXe0x
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGJpTqY7Kq
"You guys just never 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDmHZqlgfu
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7VYo6ldr
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwkPXqDgzL
you're throwing a party."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LWhIbquga
"Ya, we are," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63W9h9wqtF
"All I wanted was for 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxyJ5VpKgM
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsufxr0axi2
party out of the blue because you wanted to."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4B0PYviuy
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauNEaqvtoz
"Don't tell me, save if 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi7qimIgJs
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEheRVV5tet
don't help, Collins might just fire me."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjG3J24UA8
"You know he wouldn't." I847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGttkuripxf
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC8dpJkNUd
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOadTFqsWl
beauty salon at all."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsOOP3Xbz1
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUPI6QwUDC
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTqNwZGYNH
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToJ7RwB4uX
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrC5ky72zU
"Sure they can. It's not847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVIJw8wXAE
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM0LMpPmTb
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1d2vSLUwc
call them." 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHXNrGag4P
"Ya, you do that."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWYV7RJh5G
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5NQL7EIND
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7InRBFXujt
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvRA40ZZNQ
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwfP7yxURf
"Red? Why red?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLL9MEAcxZ
"Well, it's the theme for the party."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4dFChdfJ
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzxNF0T4OW
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGKD7BSo70
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSrVvSkRZX
"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."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRt8yLRbd7
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYOlBZKAS3
"Thanks, Lee."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVXvJwBr2y
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XZkkOp87
Lee cut the line and I 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcGoTHuY6H
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmofnrYnO5
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI81CIxYqM
into them with the trolley.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL08ZvZ4a6f
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMsJRPOx4A
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjhc7AM8Tl
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraQAt3ldgl
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxkqk60FRy
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ILYZFf5Ay
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIVeUazQJa
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUKrA58fAf
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeoSV2Pxtl
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9kGfDy08G
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8DmpYX163
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfLGXIPtwh
"Aren't we almost done 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1k2tkGAmw
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCh6F8yGya
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO1VuHycz6
"I think we got all that847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIvAlNTbfJ
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjSIYreXZv
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT9ze2jvvZ
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOYgH1B9v
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw7vXSZmSP
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XVtCq7YEl
"Did someone say cake?" 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJpMmWSdtk
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8EzUiO2D8
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ry8jaEfOe
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!"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBwvXEvrpH
"Okay, looks like I 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97pfYzRxUn
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQoFVyeV9m
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8faeOoydm
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTHKCuuxOX
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIavcU8cMqC
"No one knows," said 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9CH8334xG
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL1XOlzq4N
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6kqJlm5Wl
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt47AxHJc5
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0szAqbrjVK
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Z34aBJ2a
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXh5loPIyr
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrM8lWfQoc
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBM0soqnQv
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYlAKBEp4v
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Eizgkxe7R
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp5C53OMAh
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9wIOjEulX
"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."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gik9HfC2q
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp49ntJsu0
We quickly went straight847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbrYkxZXC9
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4O8tQg0j5
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuskG8xA1E
easily by passersby.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa1z8O40cy
As soon as we were done 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnSFSULalY
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxerFhTTWK
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjuHvCBJ8w
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKggAYCm4W
another.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbZWikxjmW
Surprisingly, as many 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVDL0bWsuf
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9rJprCe4
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38ZFpE31cz
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzKMpfh633
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmrfuettdE
to come out with were red shoes.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBhFQHhZLk
"This is getting 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkiZAv3ck7
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomAT4NfvnB
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAARvZ9pGF5
can't seem to find the right outfit."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCYPiU0hP6
"Shouldn't we have just 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Wl8JljTT
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF2v46AHGq
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaivO9K7lT
"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.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35p9Md9Do4
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u4mAIeVo0
"I feel so too," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8wUHt4qT7
"You know the offer is 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZ5DyvR4I
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOlp2h4nYK
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6cvshHIIA
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCkRB0OK0v
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5VdJ2S2VM
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHmAjASXhX
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyWRafv1NS
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig3Fz1gsxo
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QZrNmBZL9
"No, I'm calling Lee. 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKCnZ9nJPX
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfym5Vrx8f
phone began to ring at the under end.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF3vVxGgnc
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY046QKix6u
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MwUDpl6R2
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXi0qlYV4
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaFjwjExID
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyQqkNx2SW
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf1iTRiqr3
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxyoYD2OoV
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLbGUy4wAr
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3716SCoUXM
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZmXidjyL1
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSOlQT9YkX
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RsZrBuV6S
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVZYfHeycL
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xUSBBmb7r
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZv9Iun7OL
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL4mmoVtXC
"Well, lucky her," said 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX079UFXWI
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNVx0o5CQF
like she found what she was looking for."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL2r9t6VBs
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvewUJg4EC1
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgvjhf6xT5
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSjLdJcydZ
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X8oKuyHIE
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffu6NEA8LD
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCtO3dHUsC
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEaznO13A5
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb4jU51MUU
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5LZp1UvWG
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKEliLpz2T
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKY4mfCFsa
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P7HMepUkW
"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.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE8Q0tpnWX
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd5EPqUP91
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoybEDNmLP
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyricta6lRu
I kept on looking in the847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu25G1bgEcy
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9TYUtZE4Q
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98syDYIBvC
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA6I4LYtMs
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zyvjUygpJ
"I like it," said 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ipPxbXKd
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU53yEOWnq
they are really going to match with your heels."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtygNPFAkL
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF5FsbMPXJ
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqFiJtmz2H
"I didn't ask for your 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Tsm2H4Wh
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjoDKj4HE4
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznAlbSLhmz
"But I bet she looked more prettier."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpAmddxqbP
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKcWimiwkN
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHd90T9pOn
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17QAO39Eu3
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HsEBa7akd
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKAcgESfUZ
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZqfXWTQ3q
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfzEppoybc
Christine ran off to the847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1gF1ebXk
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscOPfw5bh6
her hand and back in her usual clothes.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AL0GVtG6p
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAci86ncSNL
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQpdwEiaa8
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw20xJfsJr
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5sEroEHU
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE20ICJIm3s
"I feel the last four 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2IwCvPvYS
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj53scRf7q
out a red top that didn't feel right still.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHAF2JfU0b
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszUris5jjn
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2uSaur9fK
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRihERWk2uJ
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD2l1zX8s4
"True," said Zoey from the counter.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBslE8qIOqN
"You can do it well 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS74mzuHX3
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe7rIXvMpN
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujwG4cRf3w
rack.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuFQU2CnSZ
"And you don't have to 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRVkTrbyfx
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrChfdvDz3
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmGCG43rWs
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf3k4ZVJ5L
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqUZDmzOqh
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWg59hAwDQ
"Me neither," said Daniel.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjslZBzB5g
"Well, now you know," said Lee.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aR3TMnK31
"Gosh, there is nothing 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7i8KwY3Oq
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxLM3I9ny
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHot4wMxYN
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h98vOIpNS
"Let me go in the last aisle."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWqpHmFGtR
Just as I was about to 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9jybvA6Sd
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIpQnfSalW
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4SR3APRH3
backwards.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8hz3YKUvj
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl6q3WKJLa
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ETOFan3P
"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.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkcgrHWdnZ
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c6ZT06TQV
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziFDw0BPvk
I looked at the person 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WkPv7Bcv
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgBHUTSntt
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcnvnMzcyM
"Hey," said Zoey as she 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHMZhILfGg
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0SJ3AAKgv
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p18ryR0Q1
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiaVyYpuV8
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dsr8PK5Rd
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZBym1bcF
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzUy9A3CYj
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kel3IXUZP
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDxqV9PPBR
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC2JadJ9W4
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlqDt6XJxH
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qes9mpOdp
Immediately my two 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXcUae2oQx
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1gHf8SrSp
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5rtkOLsee
Then all of the sudden, a847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav6I4AXe7n
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E1flf09xD
was coming from. It was Christine.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Bvn27Gjo
She quickly covered her 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu24v61lwF
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AFbyGx0Qy
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZB9DTLgrP
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ09VMX7WSM
"Spare her," said 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5FkC3GQk8
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSVeR4Xd43
ourselves contained when we see famous people."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuJLXzg4UJ
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE567foUpEZ
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBuLsthFSV
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggu2E0shkH
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFUEJHATNc
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOT5EzTkec
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe3VyHQIfu
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCizmpukVHU
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK1PT29Hx8
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5pzpPPF98
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudoqlzXFIm
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF6HrAhMpq
"I already did, thanks. 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXwnwbk9rx
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7lhzLj09
to go back and prepare for the party."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgProVi45vK
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiG1ztUQfg
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdmSC4ModJ
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwk8fwIR5O
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp1yPQGOBw
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LsTifTAd9
Joy turned around and I 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskGGVXqpUc
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHEX9x6Hsx
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v8B4PIUfF
she drew out the one she was looking for.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaq3yPj2hB
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGJUPJw0bg
She gave me a red short 847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIJNcW0vlX
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkKFVJGWuw
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS1JrXDTrE
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C1LzniYfc
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKFfbA9uTq
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit3noEBWvx
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUmOKTu6bc
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfBlIbaJwy
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmlLn3rOPI
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9IU6TjEKh
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdyPZhsj5a
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVJKktm61V
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ1L43zaSq
"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.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc10CDDag5
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWivTQC2zRG
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnQygzbglz
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy5pleTQ91
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw1zI5UA5k
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSEvZE6ZDT
"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?"847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UyVdgglav
"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."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r2xwrp0Mc
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0w80qibOb
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmcwrFo1tN
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VBRO2SgX1
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrk0oioqt9
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.847Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIiNjfUPsD
