Sam’s P.O.V: 102Please respect copyright.PENANAbfBwaEYftv
102Please respect copyright.PENANAu3rI5AAMTA
102Please respect copyright.PENANAA4YsYbgNvI
We were back at the café, where we had dumplings. It was the only place we could sit and talk, as there weren’t many people. Zoey, Mino, Lee, and I sat in one booth while the others sat in the next one. Mike and Daniel remained standing, watching what might unfold in front of them.102Please respect copyright.PENANAcDFap1g940
102Please respect copyright.PENANAfA4AJaug4B
102Please respect copyright.PENANAo0UXDcsbuP
Lee, in her aunt outfit, really looked like an angry one as she said, "You really have a lot of explaining to do, Zoey. What were you thinking about going over to that club? Do you really want Collins to hang all of us?"102Please respect copyright.PENANA4C1Adz1qyd
102Please respect copyright.PENANApV3j94J5z4
102Please respect copyright.PENANAnD6nQfi2L9
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."102Please respect copyright.PENANAKadsciu257
102Please respect copyright.PENANAoeLGnxQi51
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQghaDGp3Nx
"Then why didn’t you tell us what you planned to do?" I asked. "And don’t tell me that you knew I was going to refuse."102Please respect copyright.PENANAUc7n1Imu7l
102Please respect copyright.PENANApeV5s46IPs
102Please respect copyright.PENANAzU8kHMoRkV
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.102Please respect copyright.PENANA0ixNT6vFCW
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyRXbavbbSJ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAA5SPpJCYbH
"You know very well that Collins told us not to get near him," I continued. I turn to Mino. "And were you really going to follow through with her plan?"102Please respect copyright.PENANAnzBGtv2ChL
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbV6ofgau9S
102Please respect copyright.PENANAYHTvfR5S6t
Mino shook his head. "I did try to tell her that it wasn’t a good idea," he answered. "Now I wish I was a bit firm with her."102Please respect copyright.PENANADJNoRylvoJ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvtnzKUTFaV
102Please respect copyright.PENANAfPHtYGeNbO
I sighed. I had no reason to be mad at Mino. Zoey can be persuasive sometimes. Moreover, there’s no denying that he likes her a lot and would do anything to please her a little.102Please respect copyright.PENANAkgs2wRuUPj
102Please respect copyright.PENANANHmLEmb44h
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvYYmhn06bp
"Okay, now that we have Zoey," said Mike, "can we have some fun, like, for real? We can’t end this night with a sour mood, right?"102Please respect copyright.PENANACtscXZfKXN
102Please respect copyright.PENANAspbnhApKzI
102Please respect copyright.PENANAMrz3uxXHLK
"I agree," said Zoey. I quickly looked at her, and she covered her mouth. Right now, she has no right to suggest anything, not after what she did.102Please respect copyright.PENANAiXKiOKyZsT
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiBiNMmJJxT
102Please respect copyright.PENANAGoO8w4lG1j
"Yeah, you can hang out if you want," said Lee as she leaned back on the seat. "I’ll go back to the car. This search for Zoey really got me so worked up that I need a breather."102Please respect copyright.PENANAYynpQ9CMPc
102Please respect copyright.PENANA68wsoCa7SO
102Please respect copyright.PENANAay3Jy6Jiyw
"What?" Christine came up from behind the booth, looking down at Lee. "I thought you wanted to try out those shoes that we saw earlier. And they are in your favorite color." 102Please respect copyright.PENANA6SAzw3v9wX
102Please respect copyright.PENANAxQYJpDdkZ6
102Please respect copyright.PENANA81kKnZGnQs
"Yeah, come on, Lee," said Zoey. "Shopping isn’t fun without you. If you want, I’m going to accept any punishment you give me."102Please respect copyright.PENANANCHdpHL93d
102Please respect copyright.PENANA1u83yAQ55W
102Please respect copyright.PENANAAQVJkuHeZ9
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"102Please respect copyright.PENANAGoPDX0f6QM
102Please respect copyright.PENANAD7tFW9wF8r
102Please respect copyright.PENANATwfdjJ7bHh
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.102Please respect copyright.PENANAOw7tTRZFbq
102Please respect copyright.PENANA524RyqIqaM
102Please respect copyright.PENANAEHfOs7HHI4
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.102Please respect copyright.PENANAmfcvZYQNwj
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKq5VtnUGGc
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiqYhp4AAXr
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."102Please respect copyright.PENANA5lZWM0x68m
102Please respect copyright.PENANAgMTciraawd
102Please respect copyright.PENANASmvB4QrMVY
Zoey turned to look at me, and I shook my head, telling her that even I don’t know what Lee wants. It’s best she figures that out for herself.102Please respect copyright.PENANAg5qr7dsSn6
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQFkoOrSsxn
102Please respect copyright.PENANApdLhOYAm9L
"Come on, you guys," said Jungkook, who now came over by the booth. "We’re in Hongdae. We can’t let this opportunity slide. I can guarantee that we’re going to have a lot of fun."102Please respect copyright.PENANAGTmJwnikdc
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiTp1JYl4xH
102Please respect copyright.PENANAP5LA8A0rzt
"Come on, Lee," said Christine. "Jungkook does have a point. Who knows if we will ever get to come back here with the busy schedule that we have? Let’s take advantage of the situation."102Please respect copyright.PENANA0HcAVnFItI
102Please respect copyright.PENANATSSPeus6NQ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJWlQXdqOwU
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.102Please respect copyright.PENANAFW87dYymmx
102Please respect copyright.PENANAOsH7riWkY4
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8u6QvJD0SE
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."102Please respect copyright.PENANAmEz7MZJE8t
102Please respect copyright.PENANAsyt3BPCbhO
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVDs4kwOOAM
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."102Please respect copyright.PENANA6kVusHjAff
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4ACRaEfsLZ
102Please respect copyright.PENANASIEA4Qye6E
"I’m only doing this because Jimin, Jungkook, and Mino are here." Lee folded her arms as she looked the other way. "Don’t think you’re off the hook, Zoey."102Please respect copyright.PENANA59cX7UQbTp
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4IIM2cZDxW
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4ppKzw8dmP
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.102Please respect copyright.PENANAM9ajH8XvI6
102Please respect copyright.PENANA41GLUEC6qD
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5tgxqmEuSu
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.102Please respect copyright.PENANAoAiyX19yIT
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0TdBgxIPA3
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwCoTEZ0nt7
"We can start by buying ourselves another serving of dumplings," said Daniel as he licked his lips and started to make his way to the counter.102Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dm5WiL86P
102Please respect copyright.PENANATMdvcXqkpe
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvc6xfn22Q8
"Daniel, wait…" I called out to him. However, he was already at the counter. Christine apparently joined him. I shook my head. Something tells me that we might be carrying boxes of dumplings home once our stay in South Korea is over.102Please respect copyright.PENANACFeK4JdugO
102Please respect copyright.PENANAo2USn6ZJQS
102Please respect copyright.PENANAUEhlQT4jIg
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.102Please respect copyright.PENANAETYIFSTmdV
102Please respect copyright.PENANAZGHnUoIg7h
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyN0ZEYo9Qh
After we finished our dumplings, we had to walk a few blocks back to get the high-heeled shoes Lee wanted. Afterwards, we visited shops that sold traditional Korean outfits, which Zoey couldn’t help but admire. I remember telling myself when I first came here that I would get myself one. Therefore, I decided to look. Christine, Zoey, and Lee were so frantic about it that they also started to look at which Hanbok would look good on me giving their comments. I made a mental note not to tag them along when I get to look for my wedding dress in the future.102Please respect copyright.PENANAxTZy3O0vSw
102Please respect copyright.PENANAK5X9EnVqbq
102Please respect copyright.PENANALZVYhjQi9D
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.102Please respect copyright.PENANAmDMap9JUWo
102Please respect copyright.PENANAD1RpWN4rfW
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3lFZpIITfF
"Trust me, this is nothing," I said. "Whenever I want to try out something new, the three are always in the forefront of picking things instead of me."102Please respect copyright.PENANArx5l5vYA1k
102Please respect copyright.PENANAUxAjeOXoqH
102Please respect copyright.PENANAboLBfArKyk
"Yeah, and it’s annoying," said Mike, who was on the other side of the store going through the male section with Daniel and Mino.102Please respect copyright.PENANA7RejyqJlhI
102Please respect copyright.PENANALh9vERH3IE
102Please respect copyright.PENANADujBjx6cu3
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.102Please respect copyright.PENANAJmFjceO1zb
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0HnyoirOjz
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5cGpiXwfrH
"Nah, this time is fine since we've got such a busy schedule," I said. Before I could go to the next hanger of clothes, I stopped to look around. "Has anyone seen Jungkook?"102Please respect copyright.PENANAd8dmF462EG
102Please respect copyright.PENANAk0N9gMwtfX
102Please respect copyright.PENANA87ZQGskSCn
The five of us who stayed close started to look around. Weird. He was behind Jimin a few seconds ago. He definitely hadn’t gone with Lee and the others. So where is he?102Please respect copyright.PENANAjxSSJ9NhxP
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dyg6BzUeI
102Please respect copyright.PENANAo4pwUR00Sp
"He’ll turn up," said Daniel. "Maybe he found something that he wanted to try on and is in the men’s room as we speak."102Please respect copyright.PENANAyPMrui13XF
102Please respect copyright.PENANAK9vpmijTLE
102Please respect copyright.PENANA9P1QhfSLE5
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."102Please respect copyright.PENANAVHNDERcfJF
102Please respect copyright.PENANAgCpiPTRXem
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4Nm0qXxI7q
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."102Please respect copyright.PENANA1e91dzPwZv
102Please respect copyright.PENANAsUl8L4YkL8
102Please respect copyright.PENANATPYfPpWTv4
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."102Please respect copyright.PENANAoOKgcVhPqm
102Please respect copyright.PENANApr4K0tn1Gj
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwFBSzbSCWq
Jimin and I turn in the direction of Jungkook’s voice. I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey rush to where he is. Don’t tell me he was also looking for something for me to wear.102Please respect copyright.PENANAGuhHWY3ObM
102Please respect copyright.PENANAnuxcJqMF00
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVrMeOCFHwl
I start to walk over to where Jungkook is, and Jimin happens to follow behind me. When I got close, I couldn’t help but see stars in the three women’s eyes as they looked at the Hanbok Jungkook picked out.102Please respect copyright.PENANABq6I6xbP5W
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQPfcN8y6jz
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3qYazs0azr
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."102Please respect copyright.PENANAxO9Drqml9F
102Please respect copyright.PENANAb6FRtuQRuN
102Please respect copyright.PENANAlAFdjMPrRf
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.102Please respect copyright.PENANAowvyO11Zgr
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbOgBlrO21r
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJkEsisy3Pa
The Hanbok he picked was a white blouse and purple skirt. The skirt is beautifully designed with pleats and waist strings. At the bottom of the hem, there were beautiful flower patterns. I had to admit that Jungkook picked a pretty Hanbok.102Please respect copyright.PENANAfLNXc0Tvoq
102Please respect copyright.PENANA60zVjPkzrQ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAYQimPpVbK9
"It looks lovely," I commented.102Please respect copyright.PENANALuVVpTyIXp
102Please respect copyright.PENANA6xpxWWBVGL
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvHFjHnrryB
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.102Please respect copyright.PENANAVU9zFMXs4G
102Please respect copyright.PENANADUnyzOttbf
102Please respect copyright.PENANAEqojI8Zb4L
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.102Please respect copyright.PENANAYQeEttQ02G
102Please respect copyright.PENANA1Wy3PEa3p1
102Please respect copyright.PENANAXVZjmynNaH
"I’ll help you put the blouse on," said Lee. "It can get a little complicated when you’re trying it out for the first time."102Please respect copyright.PENANAny5MpQ8ha3
102Please respect copyright.PENANA6V5EVqkpJE
102Please respect copyright.PENANALddAcWZx2v
"Yeah, I will need the help."102Please respect copyright.PENANA1ienEOiDM8
102Please respect copyright.PENANAT28dt77mYZ
102Please respect copyright.PENANALCPDchoAaw
Jungkook handed the dress to me, and I followed Lee to the changing rooms. I could hear Zoey and Christine giggle as I walked away, and I knew they were obviously talking about the outfit that Jungkook so happened to pick out.102Please respect copyright.PENANAgrc3c3JxZD
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5FHV1zS4x1
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2pW6v8I9AI
Lee and I came to the women’s dressing rooms and entered one of the empty stalls. It felt so good to take the hoodie and mask off. In addition, when I started to change into the Hanbok, I couldn’t help but notice just how comfortable it felt. After Lee tied the strings of the skirt behind my back, I turned to look at the full-length mirror. I can’t believe that I’m actually wearing a Hanbok.102Please respect copyright.PENANAdHmQYkV3cO
102Please respect copyright.PENANAZSW7myyyfQ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAOekehvIN8l
"Oh, you look so pretty," said Lee as she stood behind me. She glanced at me in the mirror as if I were some gorgeous doll she had dressed up. "Your mum will think you’re adorable once I send her a picture."102Please respect copyright.PENANADPp2fTf0KQ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAT9bt4aL7Oo
102Please respect copyright.PENANAFVOSA4QLjr
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.102Please respect copyright.PENANAU9BH657PKV
102Please respect copyright.PENANA564aTB5zeR
102Please respect copyright.PENANADiJNdaIJEQ
"What?" Lee asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "It’s not my fault that you look pretty. Come on, the others are waiting to see you."102Please respect copyright.PENANAUDgr1UbcGZ
102Please respect copyright.PENANA1lB491eA68
102Please respect copyright.PENANAD8WTcCWRKO
"Oh, before I go out..." I turned around to where I lay aside my clothes to look for the mask. However, Lee took hold of my shoulders to lead me out of the changing room.102Please respect copyright.PENANAYO5o51jENX
102Please respect copyright.PENANAt3OjssxZD5
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwJiSBmupSd
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."102Please respect copyright.PENANADRwGwNF0ml
102Please respect copyright.PENANAzqfIbFXOWm
102Please respect copyright.PENANA6ocaVUveQs
Lee opened the door and led me out of the room. As expected, we found the others waiting outside the changing rooms. Christine and Zoey jumped with excitement as I appeared before them.102Please respect copyright.PENANAxHsE1jeCR5
102Please respect copyright.PENANAoK5Xbpg96C
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJRS8WqJ5VX
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."102Please respect copyright.PENANAEt9B5seEsX
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8MDa7A4nBk
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbhMQgt5a3b
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.102Please respect copyright.PENANAPi15fwxkFQ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAPNosPyonUi
102Please respect copyright.PENANAkKxMnLFQx5
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."102Please respect copyright.PENANA6W76HYIo5r
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5oMnBG5492
102Please respect copyright.PENANATL1QZgfRRj
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.102Please respect copyright.PENANAAPBApi8U5M
102Please respect copyright.PENANA8kskhvDUQK
102Please respect copyright.PENANABkRASVdUzj
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.102Please respect copyright.PENANAwxGiIXU5uJ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVRCbH0sfG7
102Please respect copyright.PENANAAvPexOxQlK
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."102Please respect copyright.PENANArQsYpAwuKf
102Please respect copyright.PENANAAJcrxb3hEa
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyLBQKeT454
"You can say that again," said Mino as he smiled at me. "Once your fans see you, you’ll be the talk of the town."102Please respect copyright.PENANAAntCq0MWoF
102Please respect copyright.PENANArKkENRQ0Tq
102Please respect copyright.PENANAZpHOkXxdOK
"Yeah, I know that," I said. "Please don’t post the pictures you’ve taken so soon. I don’t want people to know right away that I’m here."102Please respect copyright.PENANAu21rz71TH5
102Please respect copyright.PENANAoM3e3qYFB3
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbTx2lmQNNG
"Don’t worry," said Christine. "The last thing we need is for us to do what Zoey did when she filmed you with G-Dragon and the video went viral."102Please respect copyright.PENANAVI9vQaoZTL
102Please respect copyright.PENANAsEvErvgQ53
102Please respect copyright.PENANA74KMOrmcB0
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.102Please respect copyright.PENANAEb6MVNXYZ3
102Please respect copyright.PENANAPVG5WbwNLb
102Please respect copyright.PENANAATHOmfXtMD
Zoey folded her arms. "Yes," she answered, looking rather annoyed at Christine for bringing it up. "But I didn’t mean harm, and I did say I was never going to do that again."102Please respect copyright.PENANAGHGF8CNBC5
102Please respect copyright.PENANAdFogNzpGno
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5NkMpD2Zcg
I saw Daniel, Mike, and Christine give Zoey a look, and I knew what they were thinking. It’s funny how Zoey could’ve remembered that. She usually doesn't, and there are times when you have to remind her. Anyway, it hasn't been too long since the incident happened.102Please respect copyright.PENANAZbzlgHt8sv
102Please respect copyright.PENANAPtD8DPoQqD
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQjCDo2CoPf
"Smile here for the camera," said Jimin as he also had his phone out to take a picture. "You really did good choosing this Hanbok for her, Jungkook."102Please respect copyright.PENANA9pHXqmVS0M
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbSmJneJbeb
102Please respect copyright.PENANAapWNgdA0f5
All Jungkook could do was smile under that facemask of his, which wasn’t hard to notice; just like everyone else, he was looking at me. The look in his eyes showed that he was proud of himself for picking out the Hanbok.102Please respect copyright.PENANAqMiy91xzUc
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQjHdx8nue9
102Please respect copyright.PENANALmMYQ5wzn9
"Thanks so much for picking this outfit for me, Jungkook," I said. "It’s really lovely. Not to mention that I just love the color purple."102Please respect copyright.PENANA1WUSeCJhQq
102Please respect copyright.PENANAt7i8gmdN0w
102Please respect copyright.PENANAIYukGFqXYV
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."102Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7gLDGoSIy
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKreoOrVmWy
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKeiWzqGgkl
I blushed, and for some reason, I thought of quickly turning away, especially when Christine and Zoey nudged at each other. I wish I could hit them on the head to stop them from mocking me.102Please respect copyright.PENANAQOYzSD79HC
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhk1gPEQSym
102Please respect copyright.PENANAd28Uq1Udm9
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.102Please respect copyright.PENANABdq6ZiGsv7
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbB3C0QtqAm
102Please respect copyright.PENANAyC7ddwR2QJ
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."102Please respect copyright.PENANAv5yvx2S0fV
102Please respect copyright.PENANAuXUdM0rYbr
102Please respect copyright.PENANAX5k5l6kuHq
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"102Please respect copyright.PENANALdg9MsAEAD
102Please respect copyright.PENANAweUb1sAx9v
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5C505eZrSl
Zoey and Christine replied no. As though they were photographers, they quickly took pictures. Others thought of taking photos with me still dressed in the Hanbok. Each person took a picture with me. Then we all took a photo together, with Mino being the one holding the camera and taking the selfie with everyone behind him.102Please respect copyright.PENANAzYSxCMqrVt
102Please respect copyright.PENANAF4mdAy3aeN
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiFtk30cRmM
Afterwards, I went to change back into my clothes, with Lee helping me out again. When we came out of the changing room, we found that the others had dispersed to different parts of the store. I heard Zoey and Christine talking over which traditional attire to choose from.102Please respect copyright.PENANAheET9RiYuO
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJbk3bG4JVw
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiMKZbZ8MBK
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.102Please respect copyright.PENANA3bmzUhR5Jh
102Please respect copyright.PENANANh8f1gFW1t
102Please respect copyright.PENANAGLUKaQ1hzj
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.102Please respect copyright.PENANADuXJeEERS6
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKucXc0CUzp
102Please respect copyright.PENANAFzrj0eVVxa
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."102Please respect copyright.PENANAzDj2TqsiC1
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2kwq5BIJJQ
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvMnkkTTy82
I would’ve agreed with her, but that sent me blushing somehow. It was sweet of Jungkook to find me such a pretty Hanbok. I just wish Zoey and Christine wouldn't mock me about it.102Please respect copyright.PENANAQw7dlKPUU3
102Please respect copyright.PENANAEUvqJqz5NB
102Please respect copyright.PENANAcJKe8WOLhK
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.102Please respect copyright.PENANAEOD18iTlIC
102Please respect copyright.PENANA9VcApnIh6N
102Please respect copyright.PENANAMxIFqHXn0c
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.102Please respect copyright.PENANAk8swFmPx6Z
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwIO0rXy9ze
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5FAV2x5mEu
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."102Please respect copyright.PENANATEgtOsNX1u
102Please respect copyright.PENANAUrgl7BF5zu
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJDZ80mjY9d
"Point taken," I said.102Please respect copyright.PENANAZBudEXf3od
102Please respect copyright.PENANAhD7AR4dXB7
102Please respect copyright.PENANAM5ipUNmNhN
When we got to the counter and paid for the Hanbok, the rest of the others joined us. I started to look around for Christine and Zoey, but they were nowhere near the female clothes section. Did they find outfits and decide to go try them?102Please respect copyright.PENANAlNMdif2LlS
102Please respect copyright.PENANAR0Ee26irNi
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqh3RCiOXd6
"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.102Please respect copyright.PENANA0t6QFHrnvn

"I’ll go and check on them," said Lee.102Please respect copyright.PENANAFARTDPX0OV
102Please respect copyright.PENANADIpM7Sleku

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.102Please respect copyright.PENANAZ881xKxK5B
102Please respect copyright.PENANAqumB4gx2oR
102Please respect copyright.PENANAlbeuOQ9j4H
"To be honest, I never thought of it," I said as I looked at the Hanbok, now packed in a black garment bag. "Maybe I should."102Please respect copyright.PENANA94FPBd4yzW
102Please respect copyright.PENANAb263JToHar
102Please respect copyright.PENANAGu30DyHakR
A woman by the counter said, "There are some shoes that you can look at. I suggest you get the white ones to match the dress."102Please respect copyright.PENANAvdKq4Pl31s
102Please respect copyright.PENANAjEoYB1vshk
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvsGD9Ji0kA
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.102Please respect copyright.PENANAMefRtjQgq4
102Please respect copyright.PENANA7D0j6KpVZl
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZhPwxmc7Y
I gave him a nod of my head, and we went over to the shoe section, not far from the counter. Jimin and Mino had nothing to do, so they joined us. Mike and Daniel decided to look around a little.102Please respect copyright.PENANA6YGy3jsc3K
102Please respect copyright.PENANAIOPzLneTy9
102Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ0k52KMYw
With Jimin and Mino around, I discovered there were three types of women’s shoes that could go with a Hanbok. Kkotshin, which are silk shoes with flowery embroidery. Unhye are low-cut silk shoes decorated with cloud-shaped silk pieces. Then there are dinghy, which are low-cut leather shoes with scroll patterns. There were all pretty shoes, which made it difficult to pick. Even with the others’ help, they were having a hard time choosing. I noticed how much time had passed while looking for a pair of shoes and how long Lee had been gone to look for the girls.102Please respect copyright.PENANAkHX7IG9gdS
102Please respect copyright.PENANAYolnnbuXGa
102Please respect copyright.PENANADN6zK5kFTh
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.102Please respect copyright.PENANAAGlxKOyGtA
102Please respect copyright.PENANAgUXByH3GLP
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKtbAUsNoOL
The others didn’t seem to hear me, as Jimin said that he might have found a shoe for me. Mino and Jungkook joined him to see what he had picked. He picked white kkotshin shoes.102Please respect copyright.PENANAlpHE5t2wtS
102Please respect copyright.PENANAp63F8lBW75
102Please respect copyright.PENANAMe7rS7ZxZv
"This will look great on you," said Mino. He checked the shoe size underneath it. "And it’s just your size. You should try it on."102Please respect copyright.PENANAomSfmkbJei
102Please respect copyright.PENANABbbLPeAsnk
102Please respect copyright.PENANA0WYiHBR1GJ
I took my shoes off and put the white kkotshins on. They fit perfectly, and the gold flower embroidery on the shoes added a nice touch. It will suit the dress very well.102Please respect copyright.PENANA0RYXiKiKkD
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3bVxIrBfIE
102Please respect copyright.PENANAHbor7LE6jk
After removing the shoes and wearing my shoes again, I notice Mino looking around as though looking for something. He must be looking for Zoey and the others.102Please respect copyright.PENANAyYkVaw8JcM
102Please respect copyright.PENANAJvMQLxZVFb
102Please respect copyright.PENANA09DhhdR4Xb

Mino and Jungkook decided to come with me. Jimin said he would wait by the counter. We first went to the changing rooms. The two men waited outside while I went in. There were four changing rooms, two on either side. Three rooms were occupied, while one remained empty. I decided to call out to see if Zoey was here.102Please respect copyright.PENANAtRyL7DZqam
102Please respect copyright.PENANAc3QxdaOxLJ
102Please respect copyright.PENANA5YHl3sc0aM

102Please respect copyright.PENANAP3lKSHzB7l
102Please respect copyright.PENANAvXc9iYNQpN
I didn’t get a response until I heard someone muttering; it sounded like Zoey. Likewise, I walked over to the door of the changing room, where I was hearing the noise, and knocked on the door.102Please respect copyright.PENANA9CX4IhcWnX
102Please respect copyright.PENANAmoTrsiVijK

"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."102Please respect copyright.PENANAiIxVDb4Ulh
102Please respect copyright.PENANANSgzUV5mn4
102Please respect copyright.PENANAt1jOoH3ISl
I rolled my eyes as I opened the door. For sure, I found Zoey struggling to get the blouse off. I helped her wear it again before properly removing it for her.102Please respect copyright.PENANAgK3G39h1he

102Please respect copyright.PENANATKXqEs3nF3
102Please respect copyright.PENANAWUNZfCflvh
Strange. Where are the two of them now? I told Zoey that she would find me outside the changing room. I walk out, and not only do I find Mino and Jungkook, but Lee as well.102Please respect copyright.PENANAxg5UctfZs8

102Please respect copyright.PENANAZYhHktUl9u
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."102Please respect copyright.PENANAHkxUwEWqxT

"She still isn’t picking up her phone," said Lee, now with a worried look on her face. "It’s not like her not to answer her phone."102Please respect copyright.PENANAtDAHzMyPwM
102Please respect copyright.PENANAcT8BGGUUwn
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwQrxJp1LZK

102Please respect copyright.PENANAb2RqQcAqHi
102Please respect copyright.PENANAwgC1ClLugF
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?102Please respect copyright.PENANAPWUeZIUUUU
102Please respect copyright.PENANA6qQw9H6cc3
102Please respect copyright.PENANAbTKaD9ArVh
"Now you’re being paranoid," said Mino. "We all know where he went, and Hongdae is a big place. How can he have found Christine out of the blue?"102Please respect copyright.PENANAtxaFWwGtEY
102Please respect copyright.PENANANAXeqgOCde

"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."102Please respect copyright.PENANAtsUYBUwzwY
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKOPAW2MrLE
102Please respect copyright.PENANAOlEv6OQ1RD

102Please respect copyright.PENANAbWWcPz2TiR

102Please respect copyright.PENANA7idBq5HntN
102Please respect copyright.PENANAFQK8VEXNsh

Everyone agreed, and we joined Jimin at the counter, who had already paid for my shoes. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted that it was the least he could do. Zoey decided to pay for the Hanbok she had picked. When Jimin asked Zoey if she was going to get some matching shoes too, she said she would come by later when we found Christine.102Please respect copyright.PENANAsAWEinsxWX
102Please respect copyright.PENANAB40Ek4txGf

102Please respect copyright.PENANAnmkzri75iv
102Please respect copyright.PENANAO1GP7wEBho
I was walking down the crowded Hongdae Street, thinking to myself, Sam and the others are going to murder me for abandoning them like that. My phone had beeped for a second time, and I found Lee was calling again. I can’t pick up and tell her where I am going. She would tell the others, and they would definitely come after me. I do hope they don’t worry about me too much. After the stunt Zoey pulled, my disappearing act might just put them on edge.102Please respect copyright.PENANArJv4uuzAGX
102Please respect copyright.PENANAPqvlFDjbFe

Then why am I out here?102Please respect copyright.PENANA2kTvUUL59M
102Please respect copyright.PENANAa5dl6mTQPg
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVdnqnVmoxV
Simple, really. While I was helping dress Zoey into the Hanbok, I received a text from Jinwoo. I told Zoey that I would be right back and texted him back. He was asking where I was, and I told him about Hongdae Street and finding Zoey. It so happens that he was also around the area and wanted us to meet. I didn’t want to tell anyone, for they might make fun of me, and that’s why I left like I did.102Please respect copyright.PENANAhFmtuN0oH0
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKolGRs8Qqc
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2CZm8JNwQZ
Jinwoo gave me directions to where he was, and I noticed that the place had many restaurants and small outdoor eating venues. I don’t know why, but meeting him made me feel a little nervous and excited at the same time. It isn’t normal, is it?102Please respect copyright.PENANAm53onzUSon
102Please respect copyright.PENANAVW7reJZb7C
102Please respect copyright.PENANAA2ABDozvxe
I finally arrived at the outdoor restaurant. The brightly lit bulbs that lit the place and the green leaf decoration that acted as a roof above the restaurant made it look spontaneous. It didn’t take long to spot Jinwoo sitting on the table in the middle of the restaurant. There weren’t many people around, so he easily noticed me as well. He stood up from his chair as I walked over.102Please respect copyright.PENANAZshMX8oCX6
102Please respect copyright.PENANAO2fx7wMYah
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKPn1uufN0A

102Please respect copyright.PENANAhH5TtKFCOs
102Please respect copyright.PENANAoKqpVGad0m

102Please respect copyright.PENANAGZyvw6odcx
102Please respect copyright.PENANAccucxOpomQ
I sat down, and he went over to take his seat. We sat facing each other, and I couldn’t help but blush. I still wore the disguise, and I’m surprised that Jinwoo recognized me. He also wore a black mask covering the lower part of his face, and I can’t help but notice the blue jean jacket and black shirt that he wore with matching black jeans and white canvas shoes. He looked so cool. Why am I blushing so much?102Please respect copyright.PENANA39LwogJoBV
102Please respect copyright.PENANANeZI4RuFN2
102Please respect copyright.PENANAfRRJoF0l4q
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.102Please respect copyright.PENANAOex2FTNAFi
102Please respect copyright.PENANAQAYEPuXZAu
102Please respect copyright.PENANAuylczRFZkY
"Nah." I playfully shook my head. "They will be fine. I bet they think I went over to the dumpling shop and will be back soon."102Please respect copyright.PENANAhJYwlEfOUR
102Please respect copyright.PENANAKNlimFqnIR
102Please respect copyright.PENANAYOtr3pZUIF
"Anyway," said Jinwoo as he picked up the menu on the table. "Let’s order before it gets too late. There’s a special Korean cuisine that I would like for you to try out. Will that be fine?"102Please respect copyright.PENANAHMQ4XDOO33
102Please respect copyright.PENANAXskSdH9GMx
102Please respect copyright.PENANA3BqCBhD2vM
"Ah." I was caught absentminded for a bit, as I couldn’t stop staring at Jinwoo. When he asked, his eyes found mine staring at him, and I felt like hiding under the table in embarrassment. I cleared my throat to answer. "Yeah, sure."102Please respect copyright.PENANA1oT2cGAb31
102Please respect copyright.PENANAlfWfcTL5bv
102Please respect copyright.PENANA4jJcTQPBxu
I could tell Jinwoo was smiling at me under that mask. He turned to look for the waiter nearby. There was one behind him, and he called out for his attention. The waiter came over, and he talked politely in Korean as Jinwoo made the order.102Please respect copyright.PENANAxsY2uz8SDC
102Please respect copyright.PENANAiwIDp707RU
102Please respect copyright.PENANA2gCHsAmAU6
With all that is going on, I couldn’t help but blush so much, and my heart beat fast with each dying minute. This whole thing felt more like a date. Is it? I don’t think so, but I wonder what Jinwoo thinks of this. Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Gosh, I swallowed as I tried to prevent a squeal from leaving my mouth.102Please respect copyright.PENANA7T3lex2IGJ
