"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"525Please respect copyright.PENANARyIq47bz5i
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."525Please respect copyright.PENANAuC8FRLeDow
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"525Please respect copyright.PENANALHDLUaglgx
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."525Please respect copyright.PENANAoxHpxi67Gl
Collins laughed. "Are 525Please respect copyright.PENANAIkoVYg4KQf
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 525Please respect copyright.PENANAQXSUGvLCiw
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."525Please respect copyright.PENANAAcL4cxOrIM
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.525Please respect copyright.PENANAZUUtN9uTbN
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANAp8TPXDksKl
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAaCG7uUwpfa
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."525Please respect copyright.PENANAEe6YS6F5WJ
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."525Please respect copyright.PENANAVDRLdwAwhk
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.525Please respect copyright.PENANATnmNURcvIX
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.525Please respect copyright.PENANAoyw01UusKs
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.525Please respect copyright.PENANACUDi0sWKLJ
"Gosh, what to do with 525Please respect copyright.PENANA3xFbgxAgPc
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 525Please respect copyright.PENANA2Azes6DQVo
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 525Please respect copyright.PENANAbD5KAmVQ55
end up in a cell."525Please respect copyright.PENANAMHAZM8srWH
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."525Please respect copyright.PENANAqYD4DuZfj0
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"525Please respect copyright.PENANACTzBY3ZWSQ
"We promise," said Zoey.525Please respect copyright.PENANACCI8ak6HTy
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.525Please respect copyright.PENANAKRRLyseFDK
"Well, that went well," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANARSyNXmNlwx
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANA49ZJDMaRbA
"There was nothing he 525Please respect copyright.PENANA7tgNszfBJP
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 525Please respect copyright.PENANA3fDaH1JinF
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He525Please respect copyright.PENANAPcLC9vH3Vg
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.525Please respect copyright.PENANARMF3FCZUl7
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.525Please respect copyright.PENANAK9sKrl2iTD
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.525Please respect copyright.PENANAnoh5foFfMl
The five of us all came 525Please respect copyright.PENANAveNwG5qkRq
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 525Please respect copyright.PENANAaIwwslzMgT
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.525Please respect copyright.PENANAbro6HacZkt
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.525Please respect copyright.PENANAUZe0yH1IBV
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAfzk3gW4wSt
"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."525Please respect copyright.PENANAzpbUhLSzU6
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.525Please respect copyright.PENANAYN4NvFmJgF
"Okay, then sticking 525Please respect copyright.PENANAEx8XqnlO5g
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till525Please respect copyright.PENANAIAGNVxM2Ej
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."525Please respect copyright.PENANAoQiiMlavM9
To make our shopping 525Please respect copyright.PENANAXxliTLFjeZ
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 525Please respect copyright.PENANA1dn6dsC0yi
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 525Please respect copyright.PENANAdSYQ3CnFXS
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 525Please respect copyright.PENANAYK3ludR1H0
the shelves when he wasn't looking.525Please respect copyright.PENANA8ClxGeWrtz
We even got red 525Please respect copyright.PENANAxtMhHN4gye
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 525Please respect copyright.PENANAE9kLTBJDXD
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 525Please respect copyright.PENANAI3KbZySMn3
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 525Please respect copyright.PENANAweFj8Zqow6
though she seems not to show it sometimes.525Please respect copyright.PENANApwML5eCt2K
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.525Please respect copyright.PENANA7JwAblu42G
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.525Please respect copyright.PENANAm3ifPUenf2
"Oh, I'm scared for 525Please respect copyright.PENANAMqDVVbOeK3
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 525Please respect copyright.PENANAbzPpMUwcBF
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"525Please respect copyright.PENANABvxwUe6F9o
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."525Please respect copyright.PENANAHdM1E1X9bX
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."525Please respect copyright.PENANAfkxXpI64WQ
Mike did just that and 525Please respect copyright.PENANA6XhSEQvUW5
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 525Please respect copyright.PENANAqxHZYJxCtn
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.525Please respect copyright.PENANACGrWZcZGpd
Christine came to me with red party hats.525Please respect copyright.PENANAxQzoMB1H8j
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANA5UyfF0vDvh
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."525Please respect copyright.PENANAgod7vqOXKP
"In case what?"525Please respect copyright.PENANA5PWGKlyx9G
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."525Please respect copyright.PENANAkJWNMY6bu7
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."525Please respect copyright.PENANAvtGxLBYdsA
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.525Please respect copyright.PENANAfgWecYrIlv
"Lee is calling," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANAYblDDcFSki
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.525Please respect copyright.PENANAVZP4urgYf3
"You guys just never 525Please respect copyright.PENANAgAGVYiS6la
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 525Please respect copyright.PENANA4V1X5XMmKd
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 525Please respect copyright.PENANAJmJWfz8rpQ
you're throwing a party."525Please respect copyright.PENANA9iDItSqGY8
"Ya, we are," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANAknnAhEvKjY
"All I wanted was for 525Please respect copyright.PENANAiu9ZO6hiRo
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a525Please respect copyright.PENANAhVNQ1ENWXT
party out of the blue because you wanted to."525Please respect copyright.PENANAEwIF5Tq5Gn
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.525Please respect copyright.PENANAHYhNuRp1mG
"Don't tell me, save if 525Please respect copyright.PENANAAdNLHCr9bY
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 525Please respect copyright.PENANA6u8IsbQQ1p
don't help, Collins might just fire me."525Please respect copyright.PENANAPGEdRWszqT
"You know he wouldn't." I525Please respect copyright.PENANAgBx6nXaJwn
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 525Please respect copyright.PENANAiXmpmAKp1p
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 525Please respect copyright.PENANA5zclskbPgI
beauty salon at all."525Please respect copyright.PENANAx7yxMPYbvM
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.525Please respect copyright.PENANAxxlNsjQ1No
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."525Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zte9717hW
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."525Please respect copyright.PENANAMD20XCobEH
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."525Please respect copyright.PENANA5wCzmyaM0K
"Sure they can. It's not525Please respect copyright.PENANAlk8YaPIoEK
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 525Please respect copyright.PENANAjOQI7HceIb
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 525Please respect copyright.PENANAAiWrQ6BZnT
call them." 525Please respect copyright.PENANAYhTeDEQBbk
"Ya, you do that."525Please respect copyright.PENANAND34D8ro6C
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."525Please respect copyright.PENANA9R4CCXZNxP
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."525Please respect copyright.PENANA7jkAikgxEY
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAoTRZpo1Gz6
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."525Please respect copyright.PENANAMdG1S2lMhM
"Red? Why red?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAuydAaqXBRA
"Well, it's the theme for the party."525Please respect copyright.PENANASR5ylYuoTa
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."525Please respect copyright.PENANA3R0ygVG2Sx
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."525Please respect copyright.PENANAHkWesHbM7H
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"525Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nkb3qUYkG
"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."525Please respect copyright.PENANATEMmkTRnvE
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."525Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2yivnNxhg
"Thanks, Lee."525Please respect copyright.PENANAEjpqRbBdXF
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAjSdst9rozS
Lee cut the line and I 525Please respect copyright.PENANAp2wg7tdRAt
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike525Please respect copyright.PENANAlR3q4dcbjP
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 525Please respect copyright.PENANAL0uodQT7bc
into them with the trolley.525Please respect copyright.PENANASKVic0icfY
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANAgLfY1vzxw1
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.525Please respect copyright.PENANARgKAamfnsm
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"525Please respect copyright.PENANANo5fqs058H
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.525Please respect copyright.PENANAdmioPkx9wR
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."525Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9DtSZCerQ
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.525Please respect copyright.PENANAj8EeIPiZf0
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.525Please respect copyright.PENANAFRZLQt00MO
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANAslwkXv8dJf
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"525Please respect copyright.PENANA2GbZXxPu32
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."525Please respect copyright.PENANABNsiCQh90c
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.525Please respect copyright.PENANAeqUmbt75Av
"Aren't we almost done 525Please respect copyright.PENANAbCaKtDaCtV
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 525Please respect copyright.PENANADDOVshP81L
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."525Please respect copyright.PENANArQotDDCLU7
"I think we got all that525Please respect copyright.PENANAfxkqvWePA4
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 525Please respect copyright.PENANA9D6kmz7Msu
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."525Please respect copyright.PENANAclk7d1hNVP
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."525Please respect copyright.PENANAf5i4fMon5E
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."525Please respect copyright.PENANAxT9q0Y5MS2
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAGHO3WE4OjW
"Did someone say cake?" 525Please respect copyright.PENANAIZdMszYuFj
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 525Please respect copyright.PENANAX6f723PSlM
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."525Please respect copyright.PENANA8TTMbfQUS1
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!"525Please respect copyright.PENANAdKVJ2iy5ra
"Okay, looks like I 525Please respect copyright.PENANAZLE3G9o9Ax
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 525Please respect copyright.PENANA1cQ6HH8fe1
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.525Please respect copyright.PENANA0sT9SJ3Kvs
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.525Please respect copyright.PENANAXi2u8p89a9
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.525Please respect copyright.PENANA8NjzpwdjQ3
"No one knows," said 525Please respect copyright.PENANAziuQaSmiRk
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 525Please respect copyright.PENANASjGEWWSiAh
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."525Please respect copyright.PENANAAygriURtcA
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.525Please respect copyright.PENANACjkaeduWIA
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.525Please respect copyright.PENANA910SfNCLww
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.525Please respect copyright.PENANACDHr6ca2k5
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.525Please respect copyright.PENANAi8R8DaHo4F
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANAPfD3Np3ulB
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."525Please respect copyright.PENANAOsnK6nhGka
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.525Please respect copyright.PENANAyEbxJacDQj
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.525Please respect copyright.PENANA1QYr96SKs9
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAxAuSm9ijvD
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.525Please respect copyright.PENANAkPrJKj67MT
"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."525Please respect copyright.PENANAb40UocJAJx
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.525Please respect copyright.PENANAi4rWnFuEq8
We quickly went straight525Please respect copyright.PENANApRmnkf2Xy4
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly525Please respect copyright.PENANAG7dBpdi43J
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 525Please respect copyright.PENANAgdiYAKQnOU
easily by passersby.525Please respect copyright.PENANAlp6ZcbbDzn
As soon as we were done 525Please respect copyright.PENANAU2kFG93Ceq
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we525Please respect copyright.PENANA76ys5caLzD
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 525Please respect copyright.PENANAL6u1XyFYJb
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 525Please respect copyright.PENANAp4qDuS7ls7
another.525Please respect copyright.PENANAK1HgoHhL75
Surprisingly, as many 525Please respect copyright.PENANAgjH0rIg7y1
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 525Please respect copyright.PENANAHtpWouCIHb
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 525Please respect copyright.PENANAA9blJPldAo
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.525Please respect copyright.PENANAtlnsTC7jrn
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 525Please respect copyright.PENANAwiPNVYGWqx
to come out with were red shoes.525Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ez7HIn5eT
"This is getting 525Please respect copyright.PENANA2qXTqlXPuW
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a525Please respect copyright.PENANAEUqXUNg27f
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 525Please respect copyright.PENANAWz0DzeIMgS
can't seem to find the right outfit."525Please respect copyright.PENANAIW1xYk6VMi
"Shouldn't we have just 525Please respect copyright.PENANAkZLDatEZBQ
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw525Please respect copyright.PENANAvIrVX9IheS
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."525Please respect copyright.PENANASKxA1bTqAK
"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.525Please respect copyright.PENANAoKLMJiHjdL
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.525Please respect copyright.PENANArPy1MZOtbb
"I feel so too," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANA7UnojLOVJi
"You know the offer is 525Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wwexos96q
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 525Please respect copyright.PENANAhpY7BfCOgA
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.525Please respect copyright.PENANA2ckg4MiP7b
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."525Please respect copyright.PENANAu81hw3habM
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."525Please respect copyright.PENANAVDWdOCrbDq
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."525Please respect copyright.PENANA0ko5YqKeHw
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."525Please respect copyright.PENANALBfDb8pw9D
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.525Please respect copyright.PENANAnAEjYGdhUc
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANA02dJXwcWyG
"No, I'm calling Lee. 525Please respect copyright.PENANAdMqz32Xgrx
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 525Please respect copyright.PENANADtwlcOdvIc
phone began to ring at the under end.525Please respect copyright.PENANATFHKruqNCM
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANA0V6olLpxyq
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAmrANj0DXTR
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.525Please respect copyright.PENANA8c1k7LmVSI
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAdtcT0JEKjm
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"525Please respect copyright.PENANALfOlE0hLHb
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAWt7bflYQDx
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."525Please respect copyright.PENANA8OCjXshLmD
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."525Please respect copyright.PENANAZhcW9LQUiO
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAc3JNxzUy4d
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."525Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ngv7cLEgb
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.525Please respect copyright.PENANA1g2YRaTmpv
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.525Please respect copyright.PENANAdFIUbDU93J
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.525Please respect copyright.PENANAnWxYx34wVY
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.525Please respect copyright.PENANAkjF6ERAaTt
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."525Please respect copyright.PENANAx1fGc4Dji2
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.525Please respect copyright.PENANAnVzs1Z4Ggt
"Well, lucky her," said 525Please respect copyright.PENANA3WJge4zKjz
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 525Please respect copyright.PENANArv9UxHJvta
like she found what she was looking for."525Please respect copyright.PENANAtZlk89eHYe
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.525Please respect copyright.PENANAQY0voHe3h9
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 525Please respect copyright.PENANA9z41IcQkdd
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 525Please respect copyright.PENANAhcEP2KC8oQ
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.525Please respect copyright.PENANAoIRz6eXGmD
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."525Please respect copyright.PENANABn2A9BYvAP
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.525Please respect copyright.PENANAfW5G9Mj7qk
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.525Please respect copyright.PENANADhUpHUYFB6
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.525Please respect copyright.PENANADw1r35iZR4
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.525Please respect copyright.PENANADLXETjHaSg
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."525Please respect copyright.PENANAmmzOavmVQl
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.525Please respect copyright.PENANA488dxgQNqT
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANACtTtEC9IHt
"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.525Please respect copyright.PENANA7eeIWPT8uL
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."525Please respect copyright.PENANAR1NmjId7CV
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."525Please respect copyright.PENANAUOrYLFvGcs
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."525Please respect copyright.PENANAcLw8susiHJ
I kept on looking in the525Please respect copyright.PENANAf21iJIVI1o
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 525Please respect copyright.PENANACAsyzf0QXJ
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.525Please respect copyright.PENANAD4mreRpfcV
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.525Please respect copyright.PENANAQkL2jGidRY
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.525Please respect copyright.PENANA99HIK4lN16
"I like it," said 525Please respect copyright.PENANAigUYUEeNtP
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And525Please respect copyright.PENANAWHNAjkDhRw
they are really going to match with your heels."525Please respect copyright.PENANAuVuEFVwauR
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.525Please respect copyright.PENANA0y4iS7l5rE
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.525Please respect copyright.PENANAMMO4rKI6vl
"I didn't ask for your 525Please respect copyright.PENANAaV8UwkvUwb
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 525Please respect copyright.PENANA1c9WiElAQ0
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."525Please respect copyright.PENANAAvWgB4dtrw
"But I bet she looked more prettier."525Please respect copyright.PENANAFbsSoGA5Xd
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.525Please respect copyright.PENANApXbQzROStV
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."525Please respect copyright.PENANAWmnz3RCVn7
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.525Please respect copyright.PENANAQClzdZcT3m
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.525Please respect copyright.PENANA5N2EnJJDvU
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.525Please respect copyright.PENANAOrsOANM5fV
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANAdzUVYjYbjL
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.525Please respect copyright.PENANANyerp0IfTj
Christine ran off to the525Please respect copyright.PENANAGiwZDQ3Kfx
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 525Please respect copyright.PENANAL3luT3QBFY
her hand and back in her usual clothes.525Please respect copyright.PENANAP5rwQaijxx
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.525Please respect copyright.PENANAU1Py4Dxtk9
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.525Please respect copyright.PENANAyIuwn6s6xX
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."525Please respect copyright.PENANA5dUUyWg7eY
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."525Please respect copyright.PENANAPzVpPzT4wB
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.525Please respect copyright.PENANAfPZYNdFv9E
"I feel the last four 525Please respect copyright.PENANA85rujs1gD8
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 525Please respect copyright.PENANALXQowO6217
out a red top that didn't feel right still.525Please respect copyright.PENANAr0FkEcDspp
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."525Please respect copyright.PENANANA1QJHERWi
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."525Please respect copyright.PENANAJ072GpBDwL
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."525Please respect copyright.PENANAeEsYK1PGgp
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.525Please respect copyright.PENANAmFaXPbD10K
"True," said Zoey from the counter.525Please respect copyright.PENANAmzkfpoHimY
"You can do it well 525Please respect copyright.PENANARjEWQZaEs0
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 525Please respect copyright.PENANA5cne90G4z6
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 525Please respect copyright.PENANA3rIq6a2YeQ
rack.525Please respect copyright.PENANAudWGDnMJVa
"And you don't have to 525Please respect copyright.PENANAC67JHnstNq
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 525Please respect copyright.PENANAwnMvaKcyzu
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."525Please respect copyright.PENANAuukXwBs9M7
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANAR5QJMkaCT1
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAlDSp8YWuJh
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.525Please respect copyright.PENANADOmlkZ1wGC
"Me neither," said Daniel.525Please respect copyright.PENANAFIcAxlUehr
"Well, now you know," said Lee.525Please respect copyright.PENANA0QhHBiphqt
"Gosh, there is nothing 525Please respect copyright.PENANAwuVRyp4PTX
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 525Please respect copyright.PENANA7yRSj2ZSCC
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.525Please respect copyright.PENANASVLyrF7nxQ
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.525Please respect copyright.PENANAsKhHDtdsn2
"Let me go in the last aisle."525Please respect copyright.PENANAzrtHISIJ5f
Just as I was about to 525Please respect copyright.PENANAebMsXFCCuW
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I525Please respect copyright.PENANAhyHGg54wK6
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 525Please respect copyright.PENANAngNW2za9DL
backwards.525Please respect copyright.PENANAObjvXbQATn
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.525Please respect copyright.PENANAfEwTEQsGDq
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.525Please respect copyright.PENANAr41RPsZ94z
"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.525Please respect copyright.PENANAKasBfDXjRO
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.525Please respect copyright.PENANAUDPszabsVV
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."525Please respect copyright.PENANAwJtUsS2wZs
I looked at the person 525Please respect copyright.PENANAhwWxV5CQmM
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 525Please respect copyright.PENANAblmvnXmfPr
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.525Please respect copyright.PENANAUwVwYRGnwh
"Hey," said Zoey as she 525Please respect copyright.PENANA22V4QMX5f7
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,525Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7YDdcFjPC
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 525Please respect copyright.PENANAsVJpUQ9AOU
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.525Please respect copyright.PENANA9PDVr5iuvt
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."525Please respect copyright.PENANA6vVjCx0ZJa
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.525Please respect copyright.PENANA6wvrA8aw9S
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.525Please respect copyright.PENANAEDombpPsuZ
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.525Please respect copyright.PENANA05G0WHXzZo
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.525Please respect copyright.PENANAGZeVLkdXka
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.525Please respect copyright.PENANAEPIcvlVEBE
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.525Please respect copyright.PENANANhqBe9WzHh
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.525Please respect copyright.PENANAdFxeG8TKHw
Immediately my two 525Please respect copyright.PENANAbt2gTw7UpT
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 525Please respect copyright.PENANAISBc2y4Vdl
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.525Please respect copyright.PENANAAXiWzLOQ3l
Then all of the sudden, a525Please respect copyright.PENANA3yrI5OzsC2
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 525Please respect copyright.PENANANVfHBQVYko
was coming from. It was Christine.525Please respect copyright.PENANArM3RrmRHGA
She quickly covered her 525Please respect copyright.PENANA15uMZetr7l
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 525Please respect copyright.PENANAYoF0mKPZdq
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.525Please respect copyright.PENANA0JvRU8CLJB
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANAngEHLovt9R
"Spare her," said 525Please respect copyright.PENANAgNVoDti5BH
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 525Please respect copyright.PENANAwVIdAVFAOu
ourselves contained when we see famous people."525Please respect copyright.PENANA6C14pcQKoN
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."525Please respect copyright.PENANAOrZceDQObS
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.525Please respect copyright.PENANAPbxkrhwlLj
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAXG5ikcwug4
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.525Please respect copyright.PENANAYs1tEjdT74
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."525Please respect copyright.PENANAGhrzAhOHNn
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"525Please respect copyright.PENANAo1klETwapO
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.525Please respect copyright.PENANABf3WPPS0Up
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.525Please respect copyright.PENANAgVqfpJL23s
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."525Please respect copyright.PENANAWpYtvXh5EG
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.525Please respect copyright.PENANAjoLMUqN2NU
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAuftYXLbEbN
"I already did, thanks. 525Please respect copyright.PENANARQaZaNXcwF
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 525Please respect copyright.PENANAsHeRReid06
to go back and prepare for the party."525Please respect copyright.PENANAHPGGUEnoDd
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.525Please respect copyright.PENANAGRK4W75tH1
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.525Please respect copyright.PENANAPF68XAUrzq
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.525Please respect copyright.PENANAhHmf0hr5A5
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.525Please respect copyright.PENANAiXjPcTO8O1
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."525Please respect copyright.PENANAbvSP99Qb2Y
Joy turned around and I 525Please respect copyright.PENANAN2nKpZk6KC
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 525Please respect copyright.PENANAUQBiWGQxNh
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 525Please respect copyright.PENANAZZGH8mDAyf
she drew out the one she was looking for.525Please respect copyright.PENANAaFyLrAH1Mc
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."525Please respect copyright.PENANA7cfDqixAED
She gave me a red short 525Please respect copyright.PENANAaiqDyk6itG
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I525Please respect copyright.PENANAdZumRiWR6P
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.525Please respect copyright.PENANA38g7zLHPbE
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.525Please respect copyright.PENANAfyvdJHcyIA
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."525Please respect copyright.PENANAEWFarKIzc8
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."525Please respect copyright.PENANASGeeSkvDM5
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.525Please respect copyright.PENANA2RJzMd5Hkw
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.525Please respect copyright.PENANAUKkDDkb26U
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."525Please respect copyright.PENANAey0VnPwlzG
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."525Please respect copyright.PENANAjR4yWTiAS6
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.525Please respect copyright.PENANAe4ZCDbuvhL
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.525Please respect copyright.PENANAGAEueLjHdj
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.525Please respect copyright.PENANATufoVC6u5o
"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.525Please respect copyright.PENANArQezwmu2QX
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."525Please respect copyright.PENANAcM6YKgZxFl
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."525Please respect copyright.PENANApxoezluHl0
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.525Please respect copyright.PENANAyxhD2Xp3t6
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.525Please respect copyright.PENANADWEqfmM463
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."525Please respect copyright.PENANAgfw0dTT1f3
"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?"525Please respect copyright.PENANAf4fmumDarv
"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."525Please respect copyright.PENANAs4yFbjvP32
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.525Please respect copyright.PENANAS8v29ZPcXt
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.525Please respect copyright.PENANAk29bZhwaIz
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.525Please respect copyright.PENANA3AursfBTgB
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."525Please respect copyright.PENANA5WPSJXpVxK
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.525Please respect copyright.PENANA49fTJhBEoQ
