"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnSbtIZ1sf
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx27yH65pY
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrzSjAAGT9
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCmKXLJ19x
Collins laughed. "Are 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pJIghTImx
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcyPl5uKRA
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLfN6qRadf
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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM3znbUUwG
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gyk08YqVH
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYxLerX4h5
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."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rRH7Jmx8y
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J6fJG45Fy
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX5go5oId7
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpoTmA3qC
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUfjQMKAC0
"Gosh, what to do with 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5NamsT7oO
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp4wmoQx6s
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRHu8tzu1I
end up in a cell."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vq6m2K1yf
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ywmOEr6o
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQRAg8iD4X
"We promise," said Zoey.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApZGGlwE5V
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrA4ReYjLE
"Well, that went well," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtir5h3LwIn
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVrvTJkeLS
"There was nothing he 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTiVw1hgUt
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE9FITB6KS
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKvAauJzpO
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6Rv6oZIg5
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDS86nTlMu
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS25Ni4KkF
The five of us all came 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrvSJeFmTb
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJuksBNbWt
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZaxTjaOYX
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnAsXC4U4j
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbc2Hm6tEA
"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."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9v6ds7yGQ
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffzi2grEDr
"Okay, then sticking 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYwbEPRH1J
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ248uIN9kvB
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JlmDSQrza
To make our shopping 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI4ZjaEx88
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLfVNpHXqR
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nAxv1KCrk
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBjUhN3PRD
the shelves when he wasn't looking.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4BWn9hMv4
We even got red 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi1sI9DjR4
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcBPbmDnbV
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o4hublJUB
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuPnfpQRfb
though she seems not to show it sometimes.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkjBoJjeM0
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoh4tRWrVc
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i7CB4gyUu
"Oh, I'm scared for 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCmr1HG9b9
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzHaPyDlEc
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9BO0GiqnU
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHloQkQbdm
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1rkF2jm5Q
Mike did just that and 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuuB99GQls
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBLVrBS4ou
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdeNihMbou
Christine came to me with red party hats.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsudp97hU8W
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnz0UozuPY
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DOvJ6fSey
"In case what?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Z2WBy12Y
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL86vIFo3QW
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ6sjVKwYa
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lCBfFFWjI
"Lee is calling," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhTMpbDUxi
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S1QUUPdZD
"You guys just never 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvafMuOuysB
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDz90PVdSi
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBWbpU3cnm
you're throwing a party."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEkeHSRZc1
"Ya, we are," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHhOyFZYlB
"All I wanted was for 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEfMW96eFu
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagQ9p45uNo
party out of the blue because you wanted to."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmitSmvw8tE
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrXBiEyYgo
"Don't tell me, save if 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp2crAYMhV
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeckIpiTJ1Q
don't help, Collins might just fire me."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXIRfE0MX0
"You know he wouldn't." I845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V2OFcf98x
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJILGS6HKy
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkSMgriI1W
beauty salon at all."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIuHbawUmi
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J7gPqv801
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeqCgahhoU
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4NUT7222G
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q6gI2H5nh
"Sure they can. It's not845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3cNykyF5d
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ6Bf3UHGg
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cWFju2r9B
call them." 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt3B9BMkR6
"Ya, you do that."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO54XVPj8D
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7has9uhxRw
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz1eyyZDf4
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLmUFfmcJB
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC98W3lithg
"Red? Why red?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI0gTnaAmQ
"Well, it's the theme for the party."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFv1i9NR8T
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZmSwQx3R
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi5LHVKVkG
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHxdJvGUes
"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."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8gGmyTDC1
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0kax0MaLb
"Thanks, Lee."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRATLZ2y6P
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UXEWLb4wn
Lee cut the line and I 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsUVriDPSP
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sXSuuR80o
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKBf8C54G4
into them with the trolley.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJas1sG23el
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QEK7AReyd
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknXeXJ1yPE
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT9XltOSvD
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzTrzHsRxO
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPhUVsgBPd
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgSiohjGBn
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIhkisNIsw
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80myTJ3UoL
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbi4x5Z5c1
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UJZ4Of8rr
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwehGQTVRK
"Aren't we almost done 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXX3nuCVTO
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoioghEKsB
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao5tmkkZJe
"I think we got all that845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt3mDIqRNv
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTksM0K8SHf
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Oi3toyA0
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5baZrdmDv
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd5IUSoBCP
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy2vHAyp0c
"Did someone say cake?" 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LyyQRiARp
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9tfVRRfmr
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk9a2bY6NV
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!"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhEXfwNKZw
"Okay, looks like I 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZAvvuACKa
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjerB6RuUg
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYnj5YNoi3
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNZznDxMKk
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvgyEfFujF
"No one knows," said 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzntOQ4kqj
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy53LmA3IlT
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt435Yfm7H
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXQwofMAYG
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr2kiKJtFH
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl786F7jh4t
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKtxR6Zmmo
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1oHy5DMPE
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wujrj89VO
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cRgpctlKf
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyvAeN9VVt
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklIAHpKiZn
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ4e9U4BHR
"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."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn154trT3zl
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOLAlyk3Rc
We quickly went straight845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao0Vafm7Wi
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S91GDz6nS
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OIAT8Floz
easily by passersby.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3fF9yTl5m
As soon as we were done 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4CloMelSO
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwOnnYbDHM
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcvvimsF4b
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaqizrZDIn
another.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdTJNklZGp
Surprisingly, as many 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59XlzW0NqF
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADmbhMa39f
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydahyAtMEO
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbFNRAXKVw
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QYtXv440m
to come out with were red shoes.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fdPw1OcVW
"This is getting 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviuIUWdTJL
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSgqpUYlOP
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH4WlOwsuk
can't seem to find the right outfit."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrOf0IfTNh
"Shouldn't we have just 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXBjc9WMr
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpwzAsCmeN
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhcrFrsV7
"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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdklJb2wHN
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt8uAnUQlx
"I feel so too," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb1bXka5uZ
"You know the offer is 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U2EqzENUk
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLu54OR4cw
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDNitURTtR
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceROJXHNNW
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AX9Dyu79n
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8vyR10Uur
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUf35ycXBY
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfGIp9RCYL
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp609Yc2rP9
"No, I'm calling Lee. 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLrSyMBtyp
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl78TVN4YNd
phone began to ring at the under end.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl8VDvzj0U
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlU1uKxWnI
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXs39nX2vT
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qD9guYpIV
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiHXWDf2Z6
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLZx9J7lAm
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEuQl3eLZ0
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6pVyva791
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH8Je4C7EJ
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR7Vl7G27c
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgqMbkKlhv
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkoTPUaHRj
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKaFzVwa0I
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirYFLTLrH0
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ioSDczlkI
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgA7ZOD7nR
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrJaLIPk5n
"Well, lucky her," said 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapsZ79NKTl
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0D11mCt5
like she found what she was looking for."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqQcidRoFg
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLao5gAD4Y
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn12dTFJDuI
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlFzbo6thd
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPLzKvhptA
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5je89Glh1
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFwzwhJTfG
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodXbF2YzEQ
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2BedoLgx
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMaPiz6za2
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8liycP1JW8
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwP8YaoZ7a
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKx9vqw2e
"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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R6jBGrpGk
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKY9itYead
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn9JWbZdqp
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHVACd00tO
I kept on looking in the845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCiGAs6Lio
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxP7RZeUus
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiwSKNZhcv
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLmfbhkIIw
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhvZYA1Nob
"I like it," said 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoglFmnbGM
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4mxAbBRSt
they are really going to match with your heels."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBftmIqRnn
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wfmqNvFYr
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGZOiJ64cz
"I didn't ask for your 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L7U9b8pab
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JPB6wa7LD
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6lB0MsMfx
"But I bet she looked more prettier."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vebcf2pv6
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzTH1ZsGDE
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRiZgn4XVE
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIypfXgti3
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYvtS8b5MJ
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpMjv8IL93
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhpJhcD6lC
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UKtAl0EeA
Christine ran off to the845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfci4KMehH
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPeeEYPwtz
her hand and back in her usual clothes.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQEv3w3C9g
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvkReUjhPD
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXhHuR2zlS
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm4ExPr7mj
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlocNkgDaY
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu7NebAsDh
"I feel the last four 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK70WM0zKq4
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hvGEJpoqb
out a red top that didn't feel right still.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iaS4lSt9k
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YRXlhg7aK
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmBuYQKiOj
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCxEjhSajR
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDD4975I1
"True," said Zoey from the counter.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1jotcOinf
"You can do it well 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATByBdBH7Q
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUQP9KQYcz
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqQtl7y51z
rack.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpVtNr45lA
"And you don't have to 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YHK1clB6w
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEqf9QQhFx
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgpl3Do5Vo
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxCKgjCF84
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtl0WtsxdJ
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2bVps7NR0
"Me neither," said Daniel.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ka2aCfmc9
"Well, now you know," said Lee.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl2RcDTu6q
"Gosh, there is nothing 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbl3r393C2
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbd3Rda47W
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPuRSUb4pf
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLzE62Aywi
"Let me go in the last aisle."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdWIesd9hz
Just as I was about to 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr3bm2UXSe
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9xAwntcj
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iiVeJTW8x
backwards.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8hc1bK6j4
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNHPQfXKNj
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFauiXFkZkZ
"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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2s4g1jmk
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYG4vmlb2u
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h2QnIAeZa
I looked at the person 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYvTO41tDD
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFmiDf9Vdb
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq0XIZUYo2
"Hey," said Zoey as she 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmEtvF45C5
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QokZQ8ARC
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRHQSGv43W
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1y0UPkNUI
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDLQCqOmD8
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNpkaIYphv
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqELQxFYSVx
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm2jufh7IU
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJS1MRPm5v
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRiYqFh4n1
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p8lLbdmE0
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0V6NkUwnR
Immediately my two 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ndWhSb4Y
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkbb5ZOqCJ
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw4NpeRPc9
Then all of the sudden, a845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FDdeJ6Iqg
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9xqmFnWjs
was coming from. It was Christine.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYxooWtck5
She quickly covered her 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFPXf2Y67x
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWtmBL5T4C
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsgIJosKQ9
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g0v0PJakc
"Spare her," said 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGexEGEIqTR
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGNYQg2dAe
ourselves contained when we see famous people."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvaFETAz9F
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwbJ7zX5k8
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxupO01OLN
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmBUT2lNPR
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSgvrIlhrX
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T7kCjM8BX
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLucLEex3F9
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEfOHUbyzh
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanmJPOjq2u
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqSvDL7Snh
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpjQWNLS8V
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsJ0tdaHtC
"I already did, thanks. 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogI5LlnF22
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfzOPJfBNf
to go back and prepare for the party."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VpgsKVzC8
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRbCynsiyx
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVY73rqSSO
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9Ao5O6zGV
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6Ugerssgo
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG119zSGt70
Joy turned around and I 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWVvm8Zj0q
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WJpqIWEzt
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiFYL2Zruc
she drew out the one she was looking for.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSpa5VNSBA
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymgv47Po1i
She gave me a red short 845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIa2lhRN51
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZfKg2r9hQ
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDcu0ESuVl
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24TfwLb3cj
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEMFae9nlx
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzOJOQFlM
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH7L2DHeiG
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqJbHflXTJ
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU6FVnMl3H
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Lj6ZkOQO
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1VKBqTsjN
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSci0UIR5EF
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Asm2x8mNn
"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.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaSFm7CqLA
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDksumPu3JE
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEbdxcCT7n
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GXiUC1fJY
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUmGjeRIwn
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPaHk9fyuj
"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?"845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddSaH54Vhj
"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."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKUfFhJj2q
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsBT9YrxLu
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTEJeYskQG
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1f19TxkoI
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvu1EMFLGu
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.845Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwTEoYnISp
