"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc5QSgr4cH
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUdXTwOlcn
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xfnlf3rL7
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68ib5q7MCY
Collins laughed. "Are 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw3vsKaWMr
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFlUEfkRTs
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigUnGA3uA6
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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhpC95oPjo
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKvu8XjRtv
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo6BFZyC4w
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."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8V8ZEka0m
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8byKkVWwc
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88h8uCiqHS
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdaaGIEPUa
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5crAFin2F
"Gosh, what to do with 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z0Gw0v1sJ
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgaOhuqO4c
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPxyarvjTd
end up in a cell."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbri1INTvF1
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs4CkcVDf2
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFbHiiYayM
"We promise," said Zoey.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtp93ZxBRk
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM5n67pGDO
"Well, that went well," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK9IUpa5JD
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccSXWhQH42
"There was nothing he 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrfjxe7zrZ
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUc4YtHUah
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MOkxdys1R
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a6GRY1IqK
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXHlvyFiYX
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhFscimk78
The five of us all came 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpvjm99Rjn
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfb1lCn67e
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2POZ1dDvpG
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82eQ5qTgwf
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8xeLMCMpW
"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."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasHjCuDJ3I
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPG5Mm3BeE
"Okay, then sticking 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsUw5bf0ih
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y11JUDIqS
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLmgQeyuxz
To make our shopping 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ94NAiJwg
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw0J9yDUMA
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcORzEIagiy
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84DV1s0ExN
the shelves when he wasn't looking.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXfJOaltQL
We even got red 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdBAONWamT
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxgwtyCrFa
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjKsHkMnah
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q9MpkX3ew
though she seems not to show it sometimes.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga1FMV0IMj
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jGJmKVhql
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFy7Y0hX1y
"Oh, I'm scared for 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZahVpxsoN
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchuMyFQeG1
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2H9urktPk
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLUV2dICIc
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZHhVQO93
Mike did just that and 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnlD7OC6is
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bPbw1RHLR
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdcbRapZqk
Christine came to me with red party hats.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQktdqCjxf
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZs7LHIw3U
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoeote3I3G
"In case what?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp4fsrbnzF
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxCoyrX9ls
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4CKLZjGt1
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6EHtEoS7r
"Lee is calling," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIz1JFCjiB
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3HdcIxTr
"You guys just never 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBykHMD06f
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZaM0ffbiz
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpaX4iCu5d
you're throwing a party."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpeyfDqFmq
"Ya, we are," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS9ltPmix2
"All I wanted was for 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gDWsi7BdP
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPt6C65zbn
party out of the blue because you wanted to."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF05DDttmU
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVrvq8W2PK
"Don't tell me, save if 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLeCS91JDp
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTHKbtRl2x
don't help, Collins might just fire me."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALq3fJ3Zr7
"You know he wouldn't." I932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnWn6c3dEa
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjlZr1eFuh
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyiXlAFWDw
beauty salon at all."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyPBvLsSPm
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTOIVqYti1
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel7jnnq8de
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaczgDmrq6O
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eAoWLPRxE
"Sure they can. It's not932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aR787UrNU
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtzQGwlwIk
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVExnxqPCL
call them." 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXciKfhAlfW
"Ya, you do that."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsJCww8QqK
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZpYuVkeFT
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIcvo2FReQ
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPeBLKr2sV
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhJUaKl6Yz
"Red? Why red?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrs9sOFVBk
"Well, it's the theme for the party."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sdwoRWYqm
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5GfrdNThU
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacg9a0Ok93
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWoMviIUhr
"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."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpeDvfhuVJ
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF8xbrM4XY
"Thanks, Lee."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLCHUQYlIm
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZATaRPPG9L
Lee cut the line and I 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR6uUgzFRk
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDwWfEP4eD
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinq14gAK78
into them with the trolley.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfTKPBkKG9
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3NmskiIh5
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6CjCuvGqL
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm67ooc1FBG
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwDbSt4W1h
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaogbQ3J4Y
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3WmDpV6pv
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRF1MGIiyf
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjFp3vYU1U
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6xsNFoNJo
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyqIe2Vmam
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrRP3VvU9M
"Aren't we almost done 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcfSFCgf6Q
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ogx9AIgQ8
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNkQrE957p
"I think we got all that932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkZ9zoDaeK
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRiblKxMX4
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQqk26pB25
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBP4dyQIOa
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2rgXxe4Y
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfBxhWx5C3
"Did someone say cake?" 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gWwcITNHQ
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9koiQgIAo
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDOZv0L42l
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!"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwN4gTWqI4
"Okay, looks like I 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHLGk42Pkh
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4VmCKDH44
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTc2phs5im
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKdvhzN3f4
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1jxYHXZwb
"No one knows," said 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJm45mdwlV
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCa2bVgRe4
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCYDlZoaYw
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdMNi8pQJr
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIeUo89Raz
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63vNLcG672
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWM6anNh37
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAXtiMQbzk
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5aCBEXEdw
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3YDOQIGy2
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzB4DJMsEL
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgS3Ydr26G
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxUAzZSj6L
"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."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Uh0eEiiw
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ccdVuyILh
We quickly went straight932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw5Z71levt
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNbDTdRYmC
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhblF0G4Hau
easily by passersby.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TkN8xJAS8
As soon as we were done 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MNrsHPwa2
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkFqsiOdHI
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5cN9nnxX8
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcZvFD5ChC
another.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02K14ebDMc
Surprisingly, as many 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMSL3T4pup
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJCaW1pB3B
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2zcIwNDVW
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3itgA6rKf
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9kW33bS78
to come out with were red shoes.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P4W0NJWer
"This is getting 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnf3zQhYtB
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6tbruALnW
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuJ7y8ysZn
can't seem to find the right outfit."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LIcCSgznq
"Shouldn't we have just 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKS3Lh1wEO
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsBrOtLL0X
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRaXxAVz5Q
"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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdOOaTUsKr
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QqUthMdFS
"I feel so too," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhN6SLnt9g
"You know the offer is 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi9l5dts6l
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV0GGaSGSm
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEp9wfnEA4
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWQmnOdPZU
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fnBHnSoOq
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bPzxqJD68
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVy4AuCyj
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXeKwK7T06
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ05rabGUT
"No, I'm calling Lee. 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl7GNCYJRh
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBY6oVUgq3
phone began to ring at the under end.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgu8J82K0X
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrmpXinCks
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7EgrOloqv
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDqU2f0xBV
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FKzBKVvb7
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs8kHux8y2
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFviyGlcMo
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod3dodad1O
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Kb4TdxMl
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDqG3qWZ68
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TG4WJkHcO
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMdjA4LIAX
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKGtJT10p
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Mtzq8KlU
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPUdy0JFze
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTcgPr9CqT
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmUlKsYFBD
"Well, lucky her," said 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q51vRICTI
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOHj1Z5C6k
like she found what she was looking for."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz0ulCOc7Q
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVaFwmR8L
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnyBYeUkuu
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVudGgF7kq
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IQ1NiYXgb
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpS8nHoHjc
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpr4kfpDHj
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YtEUtXLhi
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxlSxLZ1ZC
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AqYzJFbUq
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ry07kFRu
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzBJsFb32G
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgUVrGTEbH
"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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZptnfHx7u
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0abwiL8xf
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhaoB97tWg
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYadf73p2o
I kept on looking in the932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejh8v8IFzI
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTbtMQGGbY
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9xlcHsfcZ
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoBrExMBiX
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ed1df2m9r
"I like it," said 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgndylvySO
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjGCrPPOfx
they are really going to match with your heels."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwce0XxSEbL
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ihrDQOcDY
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ysZ0MrBw
"I didn't ask for your 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMntn1qCg4
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYqLaNlJKW
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cfFL5yg8M
"But I bet she looked more prettier."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok6Icsrq1U
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOadNDnyVv
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPgBTnxIdZ
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvep2QULp4c
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv93unEFfX
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWAYng59Ne
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs6ZFr9VUf
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5zoUFwi2t
Christine ran off to the932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dzmO87hjR
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwMSzHVeZR
her hand and back in her usual clothes.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPhsOKR4UW
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNxWozczyl
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaO51Xuy5M
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ570O9QB9H3
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHOJ6Z6BXZ
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcw9fYN3dn
"I feel the last four 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEubOxaWnre
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s8QmTMY91
out a red top that didn't feel right still.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v6DJjZTj3
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHjodyHmgG
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygCTYEWKAH
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tFoH3DST7
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntyiw7HqIW
"True," said Zoey from the counter.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLAEgZTUmM
"You can do it well 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiSHHKwfR8
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MvzWHblL6
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbUa9hiFnC
rack.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pOZneg80p
"And you don't have to 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG9JuU8U86
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWl59t7x8s
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLTeeVGQ0Z
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd29L3VthHm
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4yTD16NDw
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywM6czesYi
"Me neither," said Daniel.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7akP3jddYW
"Well, now you know," said Lee.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg5yKPaPS8
"Gosh, there is nothing 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfPcpBn2hS
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmyc13fLvI
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlrpceNlMH
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5wBbMwNsX
"Let me go in the last aisle."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukqU45p0CW
Just as I was about to 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoeZFfhzcZ
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXHtyCnW5Q
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWViJS3wJDU
backwards.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKah50TjjV
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk4isT3YLr
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKJNTHbAvN
"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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZIbDJzRZT
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tABIY5zuT
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmz46IfOe5
I looked at the person 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxYYpO7b7F
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC3XfOYUAr
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBQHj13OJP
"Hey," said Zoey as she 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOp4swQy4Z
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9NTgr2Gb2
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3OnNy0n8i
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvT0W9bc5R
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0QMr0OiIt
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNJYkyWNkj
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLLeXlTFFR
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49idZHbWZF
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZudryL5ixw
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF8KgtSSmq
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9PckVLiDw
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqUZnJHKAj
Immediately my two 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNCnUDMUkN
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiYVKy0QKh
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35OETsq9a2
Then all of the sudden, a932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQbn9Z8qw
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncLKH43eFu
was coming from. It was Christine.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOaAv30j91
She quickly covered her 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vWYDzhX9k
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66S7PcOJCn
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbXg1Da7u5
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsU2QLNEQm
"Spare her," said 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrthVJry8s
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshY2tTzzxr
ourselves contained when we see famous people."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWACOiK375L
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZCvJ6ePcl
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv22pG8Md40
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN0kyJj47K
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wodEJ8DYI
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSnSuG1lMl
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJuIN79MCi
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfep4s9Flkj
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctSb0GzTng
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGemaje1FSz
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwddpYzqXQO
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OQGY41qdE
"I already did, thanks. 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPAF5GZEsu
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia46QAeix1
to go back and prepare for the party."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpotw0Y4tf
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKdFY0K1fX
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ49M3sxg41
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuacIkyjvy
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wkEmkSLcx
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNt5bm1wuF
Joy turned around and I 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t7GyCb8VO
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8KSuULyOq
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YGZOb2lQE
she drew out the one she was looking for.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zr4BBcgO8
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPpmJhyFMF
She gave me a red short 932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj7uJ1vU5Z
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuSNnElt5n
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmrXzrjB1F
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSubaSeVrKP
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWUI0jDS4B
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixsVrTyFiS
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe4dFPWsta
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH2tgT6pRB
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ngI7Yiwk
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs638M1lPDn
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWNJBmgxeT
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCCmwlVuVL
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D27tHmoHF
"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.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrvbst1sJE
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8kZfIPsD4
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEbQmEXLWQ
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsULc4ZXHS
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPW9ChYnxt
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fNPB9cIPi
"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?"932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QMJ5rnDER
"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."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4MPeJyNgg
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6LzXCmGiW
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0BBV7xzix
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJQL1cxxOs
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc4pcKyYCf
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.932Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UOwdCYp8z
