"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rs0lXCsUT
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJydDRcxbJr
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8JCGZj0h6
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNvU08Jpv0
Collins laughed. "Are 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4WClSZxyx
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUm3SePdxd
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UN1wJI41g
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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPmnto92p
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngdNsH6Kf8
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnXIzIY4F0
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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDltAT1Xl3p
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MkKPz0E9K
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4uzuA5JDn
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WVjjg9qI3
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vqWEO9vNc
"Gosh, what to do with 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz4Ibd5cuf
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpl2pYJJBC
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP5Kcj1Bez
end up in a cell."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbpUjiBv6h
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1tSEIQ3PT
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1pdf0E4Vu
"We promise," said Zoey.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ANtxXrLbT
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl5dkwXBBe
"Well, that went well," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5IBldmw7
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLpHFlknK
"There was nothing he 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQrdUDa6zm
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPeHdQ7r7h
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQrpN9fcb3
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3TUvvUMA0
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoVMCXuiTH
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBFpnGC2Pa
The five of us all came 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIPCi5fijj
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWTdfY64ks
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqVWAdT5iy
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaWPYsCvMY
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8GQjbxpVQ
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM3ddJbviY
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnF2ZjYdBd
"Okay, then sticking 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpcUzyMwda
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBiklsqu0L
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTksvZVxCX
To make our shopping 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVueapP6xlU
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufa1UijIDs
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jgavkznKF
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbcsIuP9yc
the shelves when he wasn't looking.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIpiusBjCS
We even got red 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx61pQaNNHX
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe2C3Ip9Be
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMqy3dSbKj
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZuLJptL7
though she seems not to show it sometimes.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow4xNOfmAj
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIiC8CxZ3o
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvSJ9iLZEN
"Oh, I'm scared for 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk8J8ES8yH
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwfXkoPWLv
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmzvzdy5k2
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN39rwEx39
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraPlP2bq7E
Mike did just that and 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pVPtcP8kB
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdEY6R9XVh
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBJZKOlxHN
Christine came to me with red party hats.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld9CkYzv6W
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZG8bJ6u84
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZJF9E5AFC
"In case what?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieij4SiW9B
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4UsY006vs
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4pF5gLnbG
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS6xVXEkUc
"Lee is calling," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9CXN3Q4dp
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN4dHRINOf
"You guys just never 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJb22xMSj5
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvO2eOma9O
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztzjg4xg7u
you're throwing a party."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGVQVkAzOe
"Ya, we are," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYewsoJdIA
"All I wanted was for 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xg2DHie7O
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaBy4y4ZP8
party out of the blue because you wanted to."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Sjbm9yGB
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqF7XKl4fD
"Don't tell me, save if 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkPv9vM8gi
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zFEuTLMcb
don't help, Collins might just fire me."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMkJZDRyeI
"You know he wouldn't." I721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXVDdlvwpt
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSWCkr03u8
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy7ijWTZj7
beauty salon at all."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN42vS5jTk
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjNgLiO1hO
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vO5U4rEFq
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2FCi2QNOM
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLLPomRy8w
"Sure they can. It's not721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz6E3o9c0C
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpE7VbIsS9
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ6t06tPBT
call them." 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcnKoFlfoB
"Ya, you do that."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn4aBFgjlX
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTLZ0VftIb
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVpfmndibK
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyX6cMx6aZ
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qHyZFozW3
"Red? Why red?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrZtggvD9H
"Well, it's the theme for the party."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtdJsoUSpK
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAFo3t1Yu0
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6EbEB5tGu
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYzVmdJX1S
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHumJpEiZ6
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFVc0XRv9t
"Thanks, Lee."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbX7RhxnA1
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7oiuQ7mN4
Lee cut the line and I 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkbnhEp8J6
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qRwihqXAS
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk7csjovY0
into them with the trolley.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGIsml7rDe
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMFAAUxE3w
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIwKCSTzyW
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk52kkz7rE
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDqhRuelP9
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu4LjFW6RC
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uoHvf33Cp
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNimaUUPup
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazFee6GdSH
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw09QMEEE2J
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWGVr92UUX
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsZTQvEkKi
"Aren't we almost done 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc3kau8Xfn
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsPR77bJU5
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5VLnbLrBo
"I think we got all that721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcWYDP2dah
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD4Vlb1GuC
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoJrzpRiuN
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XipTBe2aR
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRavPCpHVqu
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5aAmOjLdl
"Did someone say cake?" 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2QdATR5p
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFng5LL5To
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmNt02lBNU
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!"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay5kvJ38kb
"Okay, looks like I 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXiwTMSJuA
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCqPqHBynO
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBjvun7QrN
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcplCyN0f8B
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqguRDB8U3
"No one knows," said 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAWt6ZjGoM
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prosXnkh9
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBY15KG8Is
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3D5ZDj3MQ
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCalGRCgJd
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZNeIaax6V
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoPrQyCSXE
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUKjQ49wYM
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKj9wmLEZy
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIuGLzHBJd
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PjcsORwFi
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoAQ1LSQso
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LH8PPVdv
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7SC7ifvTZ
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGpT1rL2Rl
We quickly went straight721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmxiV1xpt1
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcThagsL00v
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HtDYQDBTT
easily by passersby.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiSVkrINxI
As soon as we were done 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfczZNK3BHy
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0ABtHcl79
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1j4AkZ1Pk
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1oQpXhfY
another.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpeCL0yBO6
Surprisingly, as many 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlCXCN7ofo
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ffOtzq5fl
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMwVLbAFLE
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nUshgdDmH
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXZ6oXAkAU
to come out with were red shoes.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrSLYtsPU3
"This is getting 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH7EqFW8mL
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAY6KN0lyz
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DAJ3bh0HO
can't seem to find the right outfit."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4iUhAV9Oj
"Shouldn't we have just 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU5L5IvT23
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBVVhGyd2J
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITzYnbcS7n
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIEVfdwC46
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbHQqzsvIe
"I feel so too," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZjC6qQPY8
"You know the offer is 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OTXg9FSOu
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFgPO649An
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIfw5Agt6m
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZGIN1dt0c
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpabJobZXRf
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmyfoVMgN7
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Q8Ttziep
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeS5MyCMZ6
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYOrGWdYn2
"No, I'm calling Lee. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruXzCRnpJH
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRpZF9ShPZ
phone began to ring at the under end.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGwUiMDLvU
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfgTFs84II
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETBvEPXOlb
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbAs4tdl0c
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4MT3h2IGv
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpO8MwA8pe
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLdms1PRW
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWV58YaHv3
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCGYcKHY1v
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF2zB7NU8Y
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2tDIKXfYQ
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo25v6Xs78J
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdArQ18669
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7daxbXqgS
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6LXkJ7lLw
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrv4R3AC12
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudtSCQd0Jz
"Well, lucky her," said 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC438T3W26
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QeSzCfiwi
like she found what she was looking for."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRsFZUGtpT
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QMdHArqoA
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJaGTRrmLb
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3P3k5B0s2
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft0ecjf9A5
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhtj5JmAuo
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8daGRuhag
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PTzzF5z0i
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EvcqOhB9I
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFb3NjVXep
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcUA7GQqsd
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYgoLtlNF
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapurdAZHpA
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVttWNJjXi
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZSzV1H0kF
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHHZ4TDRJf
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXzucMziDL
I kept on looking in the721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsutlZ6Ksp
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUl6Acvcco
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UfAKpPyze
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCZYjdxE8A
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqJB3z1nv8
"I like it," said 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfrqxNFB2A
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7acyaulJo
they are really going to match with your heels."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfZ7dcsNOV
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIlIQYIDjd
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQAqGPgOrB
"I didn't ask for your 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDhWfGuOH8
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyGbQL4cvO
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMZ7M13tAO
"But I bet she looked more prettier."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU2u9vQddF
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegnSXOioqF
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCBDo6eJfR
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDizXmTYSkG
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoVlibYRrl
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmd2FVy1L0
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVkjWpt0AM
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyiPGrljVx
Christine ran off to the721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmF9nDEkii
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3RAbwIx7k
her hand and back in her usual clothes.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3tS7XIIdM
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelskK0ClVj
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNbm0zUyYE
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyBVHbRVl
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Icu1oV1h
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXirqIoiE3
"I feel the last four 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50KRtsysJx
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP07sxNMao
out a red top that didn't feel right still.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSa2Wsnqbq
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaTrwlED3I
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHKlIF0x9s
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwE5WvuhNN
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gpSXIrcBK
"True," said Zoey from the counter.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4epdRtdSjb
"You can do it well 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmpPmizqFj
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtkWFITx2a
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRTmwbambu
rack.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k3Rs5WJZr
"And you don't have to 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpJuIA61Rl
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp74rvSGCo1
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnottAQPLe
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RVYnzaDeP
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQDJu3lE0S
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvuEyfR9Hc
"Me neither," said Daniel.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5UBESBsJ4
"Well, now you know," said Lee.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCzanIAPQh
"Gosh, there is nothing 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzFiTtBsx2
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhFdHaocLg
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kjBALe4wq
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqkhqUqKIT
"Let me go in the last aisle."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsmRk7nT9i
Just as I was about to 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVvjnAIXqx
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2KpZvY5e9
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntvqX35YFD
backwards.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgJX2aiqji
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6IuLF9Fm7
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTvucCJAsw
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDy8JjhnhH
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgib4PLGWZ
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEiZORqaKG
I looked at the person 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OSzbr7h9r
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKSuNugsxw
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M1bh9O9Yi
"Hey," said Zoey as she 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYKu2bND0V
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdeTcjnOWq
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaZE0QWs9a
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWVQtaTg5K
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dz8yChtCQ
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwjm0vAEDh
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODHppYEoiJ
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FrulgaLFM
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lZZQHwp7o
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFhvfWkaWB
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvevNfOGBN
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxj63exaQZ
Immediately my two 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ye8gMwwt
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5oNx1WGUJ
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyyLvcXkH8
Then all of the sudden, a721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB3pzMeudh
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhz3nSSnjz
was coming from. It was Christine.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehpX1kGQfj
She quickly covered her 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslyCZ6jLj
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj3hUYCxui
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhthmgqDv1P
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdz3QsO5m3
"Spare her," said 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAUNB4ktj0
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L0Pe6rYlA
ourselves contained when we see famous people."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNPdnf8dGh
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDQrJWzvuM
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0uqD5SVbm
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc7quST0Oa
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXmemdcqnw
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ3VE3ztev
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnsT1vxrFH
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSOAO2ULr9
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cnsaZTPsi
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOP5KuGgV8
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWarqgUSRxY
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03jClygtfD
"I already did, thanks. 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCYyKthbUq
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHQ28lklCx
to go back and prepare for the party."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwxh7HO39O
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3zxpI0amt
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEcui89k8V
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40fAfbueUf
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiymbtNY1mK
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiHMxQzcFq
Joy turned around and I 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkQWujUTKB
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbII52akdQ
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vq2bAWOPp
she drew out the one she was looking for.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCeYg06Mhf
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6idLTxOFY
She gave me a red short 721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoigUyVT4QL
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFNEmoCZMr
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Oo9r4CyR
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RnXd4Umd5
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgnvBqJcS
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm9ZE1p6z7
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLKimLMQkF
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cyy28p4qi
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb71lbHD62
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DSJaPX9TP
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOEGpSTeOc
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvIkNV4VL
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk48N4O7aw8
"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.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NP0Y82Dz7
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oI0NarhpD
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAZsE2kBT4
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp3hUHZbz1
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSSPcIkbRS
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uPNOf1EMT
"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?"721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkUNbBJCIv
"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."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYFAhEJbxf
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51pR51PFmt
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQUJTCWgfi
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcZH7fAF5u
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40xbUaYf3l
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.721Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQHHD0hT7
