"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"567Please respect copyright.PENANASXm4bx5opi
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."567Please respect copyright.PENANA9BaQE056iU
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAlV9oLld5hO
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."567Please respect copyright.PENANASny4KZPIzK
Collins laughed. "Are 567Please respect copyright.PENANAzH6vn3Nl08
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 567Please respect copyright.PENANAYog2tmdPr9
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."567Please respect copyright.PENANAbk4wSXyNvQ
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.567Please respect copyright.PENANAEEevQJ17wd
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAJaeMtMv18F
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAWOGTPJ4PHh
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."567Please respect copyright.PENANA1dilcgy9ph
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."567Please respect copyright.PENANANEDbJzTfms
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.PENANAdtkXqGEhuZ
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.567Please respect copyright.PENANA61FFWxpEG7
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.567Please respect copyright.PENANAWaHHmGtCQ9
"Gosh, what to do with 567Please respect copyright.PENANAuEBq4sJBjc
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 567Please respect copyright.PENANAlwrEvUBqbB
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 567Please respect copyright.PENANAY96DsmVV89
end up in a cell."567Please respect copyright.PENANAYaDOkZH4wo
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."567Please respect copyright.PENANAVXgRcbWoSi
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAom8ZbsZ8RK
"We promise," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZjJFg9Aeiq
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.567Please respect copyright.PENANAQWABcGlR67
"Well, that went well," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANA6Se2Xa1FX5
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAIHT2BgvTck
"There was nothing he 567Please respect copyright.PENANAlqiVP2viBE
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 567Please respect copyright.PENANAArIRyIs0JI
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He567Please respect copyright.PENANAdU46SOrmTA
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZgyfTLfwoO
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.567Please respect copyright.PENANAGDCUcAbjUf
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.567Please respect copyright.PENANAAcMChAyD3t
The five of us all came 567Please respect copyright.PENANAdHkNVTlyB2
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 567Please respect copyright.PENANAeP6PMBwRkf
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.567Please respect copyright.PENANAI57wSUy2ln
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.567Please respect copyright.PENANAg8rEaxV6C1
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAYyGb7HKuxj
"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."567Please respect copyright.PENANAROun5HY6dl
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.PENANA2G3Gb2hSZP
"Okay, then sticking 567Please respect copyright.PENANACjV7W7bd9z
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till567Please respect copyright.PENANA3a2WUmrtKw
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."567Please respect copyright.PENANAgW1dxUNesU
To make our shopping 567Please respect copyright.PENANApXfIT4FimK
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 567Please respect copyright.PENANAcGgJhCyyxt
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 567Please respect copyright.PENANAIK2gSiNURe
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 567Please respect copyright.PENANAwuMFb7Uzx5
the shelves when he wasn't looking.567Please respect copyright.PENANARLemRouHSv
We even got red 567Please respect copyright.PENANAxecmlQx27p
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 567Please respect copyright.PENANAdihUtLcSsZ
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 567Please respect copyright.PENANAB0QpdhzU7T
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 567Please respect copyright.PENANAJb5ZDzAhNr
though she seems not to show it sometimes.567Please respect copyright.PENANAtOwYsBTlEH
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.567Please respect copyright.PENANAT0KJ6XkRiK
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.567Please respect copyright.PENANAN6gBclL1ez
"Oh, I'm scared for 567Please respect copyright.PENANAcqsnIQB2Rw
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 567Please respect copyright.PENANAMgYfUJ7fvi
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAYmDXA9UC0k
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."567Please respect copyright.PENANAeQuldTG2A4
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."567Please respect copyright.PENANAByheXYZmhL
Mike did just that and 567Please respect copyright.PENANAXf01kUJPKS
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 567Please respect copyright.PENANAdLSiumQwII
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.567Please respect copyright.PENANAAlrDLr3zxO
Christine came to me with red party hats.567Please respect copyright.PENANA8GqQZHEhex
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANA1kyi2zHvkY
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."567Please respect copyright.PENANA4th2VipQiH
"In case what?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAfwyaFPUyAV
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."567Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ83Fr3NGB
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."567Please respect copyright.PENANAsmybwNANjg
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.567Please respect copyright.PENANAk0xosgAQlV
"Lee is calling," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANAsQAgZ0FMdQ
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.567Please respect copyright.PENANAx5XTRfnLt5
"You guys just never 567Please respect copyright.PENANAAx08fBDJ32
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 567Please respect copyright.PENANAM7shY7w3Ru
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 567Please respect copyright.PENANAC5KCZL75ky
you're throwing a party."567Please respect copyright.PENANAtrsZJt1CTw
"Ya, we are," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANAcxXuS6nGiY
"All I wanted was for 567Please respect copyright.PENANAMj5GDaBH7J
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a567Please respect copyright.PENANA7U7nObWff0
party out of the blue because you wanted to."567Please respect copyright.PENANAGIsc9kDax7
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.567Please respect copyright.PENANA2mqYvVOQ7W
"Don't tell me, save if 567Please respect copyright.PENANAXufgnXdTzE
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 567Please respect copyright.PENANA1TLhqgWXO3
don't help, Collins might just fire me."567Please respect copyright.PENANA0jloYZutaM
"You know he wouldn't." I567Please respect copyright.PENANACQzups22wf
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 567Please respect copyright.PENANAyEiviT6tGA
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 567Please respect copyright.PENANAonbvpa9lwn
beauty salon at all."567Please respect copyright.PENANA7vh19viu53
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.567Please respect copyright.PENANAP0kb3fqZ62
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."567Please respect copyright.PENANABgg5L1D4nx
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."567Please respect copyright.PENANAGxObvCePKx
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."567Please respect copyright.PENANAJJwt2cwwZU
"Sure they can. It's not567Please respect copyright.PENANAhpZjh0i5d9
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 567Please respect copyright.PENANAdclWqGKryX
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 567Please respect copyright.PENANArz8UDd4AsS
call them." 567Please respect copyright.PENANAjMM80RqElX
"Ya, you do that."567Please respect copyright.PENANAHqxKjt0M0f
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."567Please respect copyright.PENANAFwg4wLNq59
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."567Please respect copyright.PENANAbE6G94ymDr
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAnh5e7yIpRv
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."567Please respect copyright.PENANAFsgPdOachn
"Red? Why red?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAfBMBnwK9iz
"Well, it's the theme for the party."567Please respect copyright.PENANAo7N447AsYG
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."567Please respect copyright.PENANAN833VpZg5J
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."567Please respect copyright.PENANAR3UUABbQiN
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"567Please respect copyright.PENANArPnvURYfkb
"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."567Please respect copyright.PENANAOtK7onDUt1
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."567Please respect copyright.PENANAlzSeLZQuiV
"Thanks, Lee."567Please respect copyright.PENANA6WhVyOTXmV
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"567Please respect copyright.PENANA51rXNBtp4u
Lee cut the line and I 567Please respect copyright.PENANAxixbOIQi65
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike567Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3LkISkEyt
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 567Please respect copyright.PENANAZbqpIncpkr
into them with the trolley.567Please respect copyright.PENANAIruwsSXAVr
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANAe2XeZPDPAK
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.567Please respect copyright.PENANAaxEsGinKri
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"567Please respect copyright.PENANANTUyT82lkG
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZULyuvMNEr
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."567Please respect copyright.PENANAYLVd7720rF
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.567Please respect copyright.PENANAze16mJGV79
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.567Please respect copyright.PENANAuNoIOCoaYR
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANAqPWitEE644
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"567Please respect copyright.PENANA3h02ICGBpd
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."567Please respect copyright.PENANA70pU1842iT
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.567Please respect copyright.PENANATxriLuz87P
"Aren't we almost done 567Please respect copyright.PENANAcZh3cJ4zX3
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 567Please respect copyright.PENANATMcrBxiZhp
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."567Please respect copyright.PENANA1dK0n3KxB9
"I think we got all that567Please respect copyright.PENANANp0GCSJJD3
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 567Please respect copyright.PENANAZKX6yNjYat
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."567Please respect copyright.PENANAzIZDeuL62C
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."567Please respect copyright.PENANALsVGEJdLKM
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."567Please respect copyright.PENANAe4jHm6Zw62
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"567Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZUzrwRhJ5
"Did someone say cake?" 567Please respect copyright.PENANA2tHeohyB8A
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 567Please respect copyright.PENANAQ22Px8UIwr
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."567Please respect copyright.PENANAVbUcZx9raK
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!"567Please respect copyright.PENANAHgQeAZyiJL
"Okay, looks like I 567Please respect copyright.PENANAmaFUMuQzQx
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 567Please respect copyright.PENANAlZfwmRmUon
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.567Please respect copyright.PENANAT0xBbaIevl
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.567Please respect copyright.PENANAPauWPC8PoW
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.567Please respect copyright.PENANAjcbScKVqeY
"No one knows," said 567Please respect copyright.PENANA1DWR1ItGKR
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 567Please respect copyright.PENANAfYflXPt1tA
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."567Please respect copyright.PENANA9qDbLxgPuK
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.567Please respect copyright.PENANAO6B5UTArRR
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.567Please respect copyright.PENANAM3KLBtuMwC
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.567Please respect copyright.PENANAbTo8gu7kHq
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.567Please respect copyright.PENANAqZmJhWwxH7
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAjXLFDilMPG
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."567Please respect copyright.PENANA7NwHTQ598r
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.567Please respect copyright.PENANAMnlNwe00SM
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.567Please respect copyright.PENANArXiuW9hQ5l
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAXpQdvY6RN0
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.567Please respect copyright.PENANAVTKfO2T8vb
"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."567Please respect copyright.PENANARrKp8f017u
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.567Please respect copyright.PENANA91Fh7lL2Hq
We quickly went straight567Please respect copyright.PENANArhNNT7U6Xv
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly567Please respect copyright.PENANAUaFVENn0PE
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 567Please respect copyright.PENANAgDfpgFVR7r
easily by passersby.567Please respect copyright.PENANAGUjfUi96p6
As soon as we were done 567Please respect copyright.PENANARySebZ1ZAG
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we567Please respect copyright.PENANAh7GrNwCr0O
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 567Please respect copyright.PENANAVTE5DLa8tR
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 567Please respect copyright.PENANAwjHxtRVq1V
another.567Please respect copyright.PENANAIYA31kptsP
Surprisingly, as many 567Please respect copyright.PENANAxnNM4CJ1zd
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 567Please respect copyright.PENANA6UC1DRMdRE
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 567Please respect copyright.PENANAA7xYAfzdFz
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.567Please respect copyright.PENANAVHzbijfyjC
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 567Please respect copyright.PENANARw6R8dianK
to come out with were red shoes.567Please respect copyright.PENANAdw9ON2Vdl4
"This is getting 567Please respect copyright.PENANAWpR1RE6Yip
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a567Please respect copyright.PENANAnpAlsokEv2
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 567Please respect copyright.PENANA5B6WEKFg9F
can't seem to find the right outfit."567Please respect copyright.PENANAY6d0MANiw3
"Shouldn't we have just 567Please respect copyright.PENANA9LsrjJ1pPC
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw567Please respect copyright.PENANAoQIpup30kk
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."567Please respect copyright.PENANAa1MBjlDS8K
"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.567Please respect copyright.PENANAj2TG4TvZsY
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.PENANAzN82iImDA5
"I feel so too," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANAc0W2D4bU6b
"You know the offer is 567Please respect copyright.PENANA1ljzWDMBO5
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 567Please respect copyright.PENANAqNENnQ1L8O
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.567Please respect copyright.PENANA7eByKj451e
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."567Please respect copyright.PENANAHxTDcFbQIb
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."567Please respect copyright.PENANAcjW12YnAeH
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."567Please respect copyright.PENANABqKqLXVcuT
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."567Please respect copyright.PENANAh7b9PvNr5m
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.567Please respect copyright.PENANAFqCkLblrIl
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANANMr9NXA11Z
"No, I'm calling Lee. 567Please respect copyright.PENANASxlMFtc4Uu
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 567Please respect copyright.PENANAJifHm4zuFL
phone began to ring at the under end.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZw3keJrAS8
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAcPrjdTA3G1
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAZQBHlovGhG
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.567Please respect copyright.PENANA118BUBbHE1
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"567Please respect copyright.PENANA5pYPPxRfw9
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"567Please respect copyright.PENANA2LIx4RZHUD
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAL5RqG4hJaO
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."567Please respect copyright.PENANAw8ziRkG4Qp
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."567Please respect copyright.PENANAytDkuwsfka
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAdVt9WdjBKZ
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."567Please respect copyright.PENANAFXONOic6ow
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.567Please respect copyright.PENANArHUruSyWT0
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.567Please respect copyright.PENANA9cSWgeHH6W
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.567Please respect copyright.PENANAzTQqXFqBR7
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.567Please respect copyright.PENANA2h8iMEiBUE
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."567Please respect copyright.PENANAG88TtLo03w
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.567Please respect copyright.PENANAiu2D15PCn1
"Well, lucky her," said 567Please respect copyright.PENANAg43XWlrKoB
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 567Please respect copyright.PENANATmveORokkH
like she found what she was looking for."567Please respect copyright.PENANAwiQPd5dsaC
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.567Please respect copyright.PENANAqqxmbiuCTe
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 567Please respect copyright.PENANAIBe7xjc05g
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 567Please respect copyright.PENANA0fAdeiatuA
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.567Please respect copyright.PENANANZtdC8hdp7
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."567Please respect copyright.PENANAVyvI0LFrm7
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.567Please respect copyright.PENANA5ChabY1E5h
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.567Please respect copyright.PENANAJzMiRTGc2o
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.567Please respect copyright.PENANA0fSnnTd9OH
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.567Please respect copyright.PENANAa24iuo5BZC
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."567Please respect copyright.PENANA4imrKi9Ws2
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.567Please respect copyright.PENANAHMyOG0ALRa
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANA3kn7PAEVMZ
"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.567Please respect copyright.PENANAaRVOBIC2am
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."567Please respect copyright.PENANAjTSHUUZ9O2
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."567Please respect copyright.PENANA88VtNuG40t
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."567Please respect copyright.PENANAbxF7UURGTw
I kept on looking in the567Please respect copyright.PENANANfAcn6Mk5k
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 567Please respect copyright.PENANASb2JFBtLMy
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAjqLagi0r87
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.567Please respect copyright.PENANAbhSXsdKNPw
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.567Please respect copyright.PENANATjkPbx7WzL
"I like it," said 567Please respect copyright.PENANAhgVDoa7yT1
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And567Please respect copyright.PENANAwtRWU8dkQd
they are really going to match with your heels."567Please respect copyright.PENANAuOHAMyhaga
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.567Please respect copyright.PENANAobYTU6UCBY
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.567Please respect copyright.PENANAuU8EcBoarU
"I didn't ask for your 567Please respect copyright.PENANAvVXBxDD0Xr
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 567Please respect copyright.PENANAYD2tbUOY7l
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."567Please respect copyright.PENANAhO8PzIvCCG
"But I bet she looked more prettier."567Please respect copyright.PENANANYakjucYFa
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.567Please respect copyright.PENANAvGc1N4s7yk
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."567Please respect copyright.PENANAw5dtC8dRPk
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.567Please respect copyright.PENANADJKwekXtty
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.567Please respect copyright.PENANAMigHVNY7LN
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.567Please respect copyright.PENANAK4ubDoersY
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANALiJd5XbcGH
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.567Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9859QDd0Z
Christine ran off to the567Please respect copyright.PENANAHKtV6fkwUn
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 567Please respect copyright.PENANAb8YBPHTody
her hand and back in her usual clothes.567Please respect copyright.PENANApmpWZZHyS7
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.567Please respect copyright.PENANArYFsQFzn4b
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.567Please respect copyright.PENANAYUs9huUsBd
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."567Please respect copyright.PENANAHskJTaOtr6
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."567Please respect copyright.PENANA4cX43CaXVn
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.567Please respect copyright.PENANABEyhdgk6jm
"I feel the last four 567Please respect copyright.PENANACf33JrK8TZ
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 567Please respect copyright.PENANAPMXUyYcNZw
out a red top that didn't feel right still.567Please respect copyright.PENANAP2eiOjI2wu
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."567Please respect copyright.PENANA0lL5Ds8sYi
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."567Please respect copyright.PENANArAmrLxr8Cq
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."567Please respect copyright.PENANAh9KCLG3ReQ
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.567Please respect copyright.PENANAGFI7d7OH9c
"True," said Zoey from the counter.567Please respect copyright.PENANAQM1KVMf1Wa
"You can do it well 567Please respect copyright.PENANAAkyFlryfmq
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 567Please respect copyright.PENANAs694oVBR7u
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 567Please respect copyright.PENANAN3pbxAmCM3
rack.567Please respect copyright.PENANAbIq1TgEdhE
"And you don't have to 567Please respect copyright.PENANA2sQTMjOPTN
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 567Please respect copyright.PENANAjOQ8JmUuJp
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."567Please respect copyright.PENANAkWt5WKDL8C
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAuQt2zdzVyx
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAn0oavYCJFN
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.567Please respect copyright.PENANAVNRZ9YgKuN
"Me neither," said Daniel.567Please respect copyright.PENANAUDfqrIyQAs
"Well, now you know," said Lee.567Please respect copyright.PENANAnmi2AvZnr6
"Gosh, there is nothing 567Please respect copyright.PENANAxaiMz1dvoQ
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 567Please respect copyright.PENANADCDjx68QkR
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.567Please respect copyright.PENANArRgrLYgtsw
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.567Please respect copyright.PENANA3TpWA4LaPa
"Let me go in the last aisle."567Please respect copyright.PENANAHSCuei8mkt
Just as I was about to 567Please respect copyright.PENANA6iDR2TuKZY
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I567Please respect copyright.PENANAQiB5qccKgP
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 567Please respect copyright.PENANARXtbhgIhl0
backwards.567Please respect copyright.PENANANEo7WU5St3
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.567Please respect copyright.PENANAKVz44ejwMt
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.567Please respect copyright.PENANAjRsaY8H7O8
"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.567Please respect copyright.PENANAOGg56gqpgw
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.567Please respect copyright.PENANAv1hj52aAK2
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."567Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Rdt1NGIC
I looked at the person 567Please respect copyright.PENANAgvUd4fSqfv
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 567Please respect copyright.PENANAA1EiVanzZU
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.567Please respect copyright.PENANAMR3RW9gTwx
"Hey," said Zoey as she 567Please respect copyright.PENANALO3xUCiSwr
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,567Please respect copyright.PENANAok2mVixEYB
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 567Please respect copyright.PENANAxkT34NEr9i
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.567Please respect copyright.PENANAAGipf32mRR
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."567Please respect copyright.PENANAz6FmXXf8vU
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.567Please respect copyright.PENANAQH5rIpsYiS
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.567Please respect copyright.PENANA28eMKYy5sO
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.567Please respect copyright.PENANA83WlWGODFc
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.567Please respect copyright.PENANADqQo1bGjny
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.567Please respect copyright.PENANAwv7n118S5y
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.567Please respect copyright.PENANAbvv8a0Wx33
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.567Please respect copyright.PENANANkYSgSNZ8L
Immediately my two 567Please respect copyright.PENANAW9vMHv5Vux
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 567Please respect copyright.PENANAcoFl9pUzio
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.567Please respect copyright.PENANA90zvOrnsl1
Then all of the sudden, a567Please respect copyright.PENANAZJcMzNGMEN
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 567Please respect copyright.PENANA0HSenbRpap
was coming from. It was Christine.567Please respect copyright.PENANAyxcLMg3sjR
She quickly covered her 567Please respect copyright.PENANAmq0pNhrw9u
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 567Please respect copyright.PENANAkjCEOeHkHW
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.567Please respect copyright.PENANA29dkOiGZCo
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZrs0RV33PM
"Spare her," said 567Please respect copyright.PENANAbanOn2xhRR
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 567Please respect copyright.PENANANChmLDljd6
ourselves contained when we see famous people."567Please respect copyright.PENANA35buJdDTsT
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."567Please respect copyright.PENANAjJIMZ4cKhF
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.567Please respect copyright.PENANA11TEjh4AB7
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAudPUZgCuHJ
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.567Please respect copyright.PENANAyTasJmR7jO
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."567Please respect copyright.PENANAqwBJ0EOAoJ
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"567Please respect copyright.PENANAOkUFja0sGe
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.567Please respect copyright.PENANAsfa4IFNXuh
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.567Please respect copyright.PENANAtsacrZWRlq
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."567Please respect copyright.PENANAbYBdlVDxSK
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.567Please respect copyright.PENANAt6vrGMJpbq
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"567Please respect copyright.PENANAs9p7tGc2dQ
"I already did, thanks. 567Please respect copyright.PENANAPiqN1SIkVJ
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 567Please respect copyright.PENANAJbZOo3r3e9
to go back and prepare for the party."567Please respect copyright.PENANAFDfJOf55PM
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.567Please respect copyright.PENANAwBP7TY3qzX
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.567Please respect copyright.PENANADbnvgkZnyu
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.567Please respect copyright.PENANAwxSSk2LDIG
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.567Please respect copyright.PENANA9mREesSQAq
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."567Please respect copyright.PENANA30WlrhXb0J
Joy turned around and I 567Please respect copyright.PENANAWnkuY6S2wp
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 567Please respect copyright.PENANAG5wbpCpDDV
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 567Please respect copyright.PENANARQ91Omw7pT
she drew out the one she was looking for.567Please respect copyright.PENANAHDN6tDCwQ5
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."567Please respect copyright.PENANARBjLKi5C4u
She gave me a red short 567Please respect copyright.PENANA2044I5Z4to
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I567Please respect copyright.PENANAVEyeDSJR0d
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.567Please respect copyright.PENANAaVf7KuwtUD
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.567Please respect copyright.PENANASoirYh5Hol
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."567Please respect copyright.PENANAx9iNG98Swp
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."567Please respect copyright.PENANAM4XHUlz49p
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.567Please respect copyright.PENANAFp5ceAFnre
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.567Please respect copyright.PENANALRkwYTkl6T
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."567Please respect copyright.PENANA7cquN6AeHN
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."567Please respect copyright.PENANAiLOCXfupVb
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.567Please respect copyright.PENANApbU3nQZhgW
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAChn9Kf7Yyk
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.567Please respect copyright.PENANAvAr4Lg1i63
"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.567Please respect copyright.PENANA4jazz2Tv8P
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."567Please respect copyright.PENANAkYJZo3PNW5
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."567Please respect copyright.PENANAvvLYqBoarv
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.567Please respect copyright.PENANAHrDgPxNKty
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.567Please respect copyright.PENANAJbA5P5kuEU
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."567Please respect copyright.PENANARtYLlXooIH
"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?"567Please respect copyright.PENANALX7nbmWBGQ
"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."567Please respect copyright.PENANAR0IOH0XSgh
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZwVRelpUpx
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.567Please respect copyright.PENANAIdzCFpjoJ6
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.567Please respect copyright.PENANAxyXv9mBktD
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."567Please respect copyright.PENANAr2d7NplU9l
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.567Please respect copyright.PENANAlOla2TdsJk
