"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulUfrLK8Vd
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GK1sWObtv
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMX917NITv
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinWexxbkZt
Collins laughed. "Are 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQv7vjGZjD
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz4Qso69sl
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt5jTTp2Oi
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ybCGm6zR
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr9ChzOlHu
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBGlAmXaKJ
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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWMXKMMLrh
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWofSRsvH3
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6BJwOwjgx
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi2gxtPTCr
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvxTib6mzv
"Gosh, what to do with 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P1LHO12xA
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe16VlGcYW
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6GGFfMvNH
end up in a cell."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9Yo5jkC6T
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKGJCwZSoL
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Vimqmq5d
"We promise," said Zoey.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYjCQijaqS
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFVXkBFZyD
"Well, that went well," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj57Xw87Fv
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6SkILdGmY
"There was nothing he 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMFqcnOTN4
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZBz32nvxH
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0DyGu0yRr
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQBjwyOYpn
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ikArzPb9w
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsePC45nJz
The five of us all came 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5fndYr1cb
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmjWPg0mT9
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmtlLGmJzA
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiqmIejPHA
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZH4vReg3V
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ161bndMSIu
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFccr1w7VG
"Okay, then sticking 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90r792VtKz
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFixKeG80d
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Doh8Pwz5C
To make our shopping 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2UdgNmnUw
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnsZt0qyjw
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dSK7AcAHZ
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0x4T7yxz6
the shelves when he wasn't looking.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKYDjdVjng
We even got red 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mq7q30bKL
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1n5gOgSQJ
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqa5p6TNv9
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfNf4omU0p
though she seems not to show it sometimes.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVuBRAZTzG
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqKGJX3Zyh
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhngdXunL0
"Oh, I'm scared for 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjlAvfZD8V
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kj0QEh4IP
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1cVh6fukJ
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3fzOuOJQN
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgxfn8Slig
Mike did just that and 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY2RvkS0n3
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ig6FFh3DM
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqFLeX1F8x
Christine came to me with red party hats.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLtUJRsecX
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhOEOHfnO
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwYeXnePgz
"In case what?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsc8aBQrsm
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG0LgvU2dH
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDU70qPLd7
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIteafU8MZ
"Lee is calling," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV02R3FYYe
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vJOTYLWVp
"You guys just never 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKUMnngCkn
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVrEbnxTgM
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi12YKrbBUP
you're throwing a party."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFcPYyWK02
"Ya, we are," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw3Y6SLWY1
"All I wanted was for 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aqNlmBVSW
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCQOOgXxue
party out of the blue because you wanted to."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3mROKM5kH
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9zJ4DMpEW
"Don't tell me, save if 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNxV6xIFHB
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdLK4MUymB
don't help, Collins might just fire me."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQKz4LWwOX
"You know he wouldn't." I349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLtkqSggTM
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuhsLrZmaS
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoKrFL1Trf
beauty salon at all."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhMGHosqmV
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPiITst4Is
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbsvTPI93e
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoktrUyPBhV
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCE8khWbmf
"Sure they can. It's not349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9c1dgaiFz
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOg61OPGlu
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wQIttjyvp
call them." 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW3rx1xD0t
"Ya, you do that."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdnZuAWyrb
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9cFOiEsIt
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrkThuWGOT
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklZSvDIyco
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSysMVv31H
"Red? Why red?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4bAYBhYnz
"Well, it's the theme for the party."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3GRJUnAm1
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyflQzeS9v
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNyAmpgXsx
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3c3NnADDk
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS09SaW4Eb
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4cQmRG0sj
"Thanks, Lee."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF0OS82TPz
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlkzsAQDI6
Lee cut the line and I 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nd7VdUWmV
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvUF03OmUm
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ976aLJgwVK
into them with the trolley.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc63GEw9oz
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zpnTV7XYB
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDTch46IiG
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshwOeuKWLd
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PwyEpXIpG
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItyYGQIhJY
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6gpCYJUiO
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwdFaqOppR
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFolQJThKBX
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM52tPZ4a1T
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf0pEW8mqs
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6aVHCz3s1
"Aren't we almost done 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGG15aGFhk
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJagDEvnM4
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWACOjSReGU
"I think we got all that349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnBybVIcKQ
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2Ibv05v83
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SHfYuHzsh
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZCsFwIOUg
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuBbtxUnJ0
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv72Gjp2l97
"Did someone say cake?" 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNZcCShRFp
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm0uSNkGfM
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfqCKjKaCh
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!"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD3wP2scBz
"Okay, looks like I 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaJBANMcPo
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf8bdkEzJe
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UJeKtt7qm
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3aeH0dLqk
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnWALRtOzb
"No one knows," said 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGEbkwwHnX
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3olKRzMJQ
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWy8LBowcd
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K4wFDsJZI
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWJjpW39pn
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFeBZyM38C
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDzrvIqTPL
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4YKE6PYd6
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD1tV7UWfU
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOmkEtTUhm
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Mg5qKcpa
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF6athJeyC
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXMYLdH2Gs
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ5YwR1Zs4
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT2SRmJeFz
We quickly went straight349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWwxfMrf92
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxZ1fnhC47
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cOUcq5IRR
easily by passersby.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V9LXBT9IU
As soon as we were done 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOtXTRAQX3
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyspvleip4I
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRTT51qd27
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnjADOf8tq
another.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIL4yYzkWm
Surprisingly, as many 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4wky0xmuo
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1QWhabVeY
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESaksTV9ik
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb9DUcvYG9
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZxLnFrDxU
to come out with were red shoes.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkNmQNgoFf
"This is getting 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa7udgFxel
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzXhY69ffU
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOmBaTVCUm
can't seem to find the right outfit."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOcMVkwdBX
"Shouldn't we have just 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSqrYtldeO
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL2brWVkj4
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfWy16UkoK
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ644lb8UqCL
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbChiHY29
"I feel so too," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbLsCEXICa
"You know the offer is 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqxWY5l12E
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS3s6w8VJn
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5tbqHH4n9
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEs4MqTVCA
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT0uHYxwCY
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i7Tc9raOR
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlPf2TK0AI
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4GSAeyPcJ
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjlkIeLmv6
"No, I'm calling Lee. 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfpdu9c6Xj
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcP5S0peDs
phone began to ring at the under end.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkrUK3G5hW
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppBizJIRfM
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnqqtTaMud
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mla5AyFZh
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmsTo5tzIe
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmsHQj3Ixm
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShWu6BZos
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0DLlJQbJ1
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2GhXs01GW
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrB49FM0ty
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHOM4ZD5UG
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoowK5qDpUh
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN5lxvKHcl
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O4J0cpokV
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc5hsR3M2m
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ewvqxp6qf
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4pW2mfrgr
"Well, lucky her," said 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjT5QjGla
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFhRxumqzY
like she found what she was looking for."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbTqsxRby7
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GFGmBpnAE
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgTOP62OBH
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qwsLTmRQC
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrx2dkwiSy
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOcfjgh9Tb
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjru0sfEc07
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1PPTlGktk
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn1bzpYiQh
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkfXP9yEhO
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFODOxK78
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PnN2dk5qZ
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpvd5r6rDS
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTnolw4HUE
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQi7pmCdgb
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gAWX1pZ7G
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4NQfQ2HtA
I kept on looking in the349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDoKJOxm3Q
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFKmsLRrr8
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QO7DGNUSw
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYAPcwe48X
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9S9Yujx9J
"I like it," said 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMryWtscYq
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2hIY04MIF
they are really going to match with your heels."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdvjPBdqCD
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lxfPYYtW9
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nwaaAfS1u
"I didn't ask for your 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2OeIfIk6g
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNfInjlwdO
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0fGfuL5oZ
"But I bet she looked more prettier."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB9wrNK66a
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjOPXcFRdv
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwOSHt7x2M
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpaOPcPv7R
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp3ZLVCBKc
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8gshYl7bS
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVbEsRpIV2
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7S38r6oxT
Christine ran off to the349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCIo8lZFne
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4LK12Bdk1
her hand and back in her usual clothes.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL5SSS8aUN
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJMiPncbq
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeAAI5etoH
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHreboDslP
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C1G436Egz
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWGa0Y1pXO
"I feel the last four 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH67ju7zind
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJK2T1oCVz
out a red top that didn't feel right still.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAYzKvkDyu
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOnRsBb1Oc
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXS1GoZcYm
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOddnxeVNUb
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJHv9tM6Ct
"True," said Zoey from the counter.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQkKZzYMKl
"You can do it well 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cCZEqG9Hg
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Lm2a8mfw
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1YePgrohK
rack.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ssbbX4prb
"And you don't have to 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6fQ8L5TMH
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWQBU9docm
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo3SRhBF5q
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOsqxOlzXL
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMULRDnl5U
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQN95R7X3X
"Me neither," said Daniel.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fHMsmyuI9
"Well, now you know," said Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3cm3HNtSk
"Gosh, there is nothing 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31PoyrB10J
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpPx62qf5o
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpaw07jAqf
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxuLBqhREP
"Let me go in the last aisle."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQp2e6gSyO
Just as I was about to 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmscaUF82W5
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs0ZBMQAxv
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYrI0Dq8XW
backwards.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYo2o3hsJT
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5zuYvUyhh
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRnOF226H
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjk1PW1yfC
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IEAXu4VtL
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDfSBIprTg
I looked at the person 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Qp9fC5De
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AvFUpzJwt
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZLMGtjkEF
"Hey," said Zoey as she 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjRLqngfar
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp3axjxY8h
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8NL7daUO8
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lGbaRISI9
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW1Vy0NluQ
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA879AJNj7
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5mMYoigU5
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICkip4zBpv
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vl1Tuhy8C
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkBxR4k4dH
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCsJpGP8C6
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcV6gAglcd
Immediately my two 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOcntOYfK4
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NSfzUxneD
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeySMkzh3jU
Then all of the sudden, a349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHAaznnfyD
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCiIHnvbXW
was coming from. It was Christine.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Df2Dv4Da
She quickly covered her 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlDg5xCaf1
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkacDgCSO
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahhDTiQ6Sl
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKzmISPd98
"Spare her," said 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJcQ5I8QQM
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7TsY1ofqE
ourselves contained when we see famous people."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpC8MI7kkB
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeItncYDkK
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2P4Ketbsj
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoOJbfUbtN
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJF9z3sro5
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIVnI5q2Gv
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ieea0vVL0
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XTrXapXWi
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7a6B6FiU5
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWwd8RqYeH
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOS7ylqkSk
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BMRIkIEy7
"I already did, thanks. 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9diGK7cC5
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmi4ei2o7c
to go back and prepare for the party."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd89G6iRwx
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDCUxL8cwo
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAYz0wufnr
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdoZDBd0hn
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZiZCBMGD5
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdagO9ejmE
Joy turned around and I 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWJNeDjbeF
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjna0nqgaV
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeKGwi8siu
she drew out the one she was looking for.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2WPakQiaD
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiJKBtr3cc
She gave me a red short 349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjvjhOBWod
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxZk058QJA
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGzrTrM5d6
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdipxexIi4
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaLKmqUC2L
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbjkNZsUsD
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1IsJ5d4cT
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ1vbKoVkn
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5UbRpVIka
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0vRLqBwS8
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMJjLLZaqB
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0QJ1Q6ykG
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pFtRodzKv
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDlC2AEd5y
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNs1i5oNjn
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL1l6YFfv2
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9lkL8Fq1p
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6TuIWfY1F
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cq1jLcYfx
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfVjglPh3j
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvTM3EGG37
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfFOCRkzkA
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyxlHSm3D5
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKNVlWE4p2
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FTbTNsbLE
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aUOUhBU2z
