"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglsukyABM7
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkKD6y53Xl
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMOlz8mHHV
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAx7iHKTNW
Collins laughed. "Are 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOuyJnygo8
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe1yaga9xU
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNwYOIdABH
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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcM79JsjY1
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkLLni5APz
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIcRznSynk
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."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfajrkf6Ejk
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEM9ZHB6lb
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aVcmn5FNs
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K1PRgex2K
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVORQoWqMGm
"Gosh, what to do with 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSlEEj5PRp
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N6pjBXaZt
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlT4GgaJVs
end up in a cell."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2HgEHbtmx
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOybz1lsBsw
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHQgbAHpfr
"We promise," said Zoey.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmfUZC2LLT
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZjwDgve6N
"Well, that went well," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM4qHEBFXT
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNORBTj70N
"There was nothing he 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xgqwd65mk
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0IRQy0XiC
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd4lAhw7JS
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQpoiD74F1
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGFt1Sul5t
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY7HFvTnoM
The five of us all came 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZk9wDIyZQ
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDT9oi8mLR
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkiy82i0Bc
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdSFzvsMxL
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHijlXMCPQO
"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."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgwr1wMqez
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGWR5LN2bI
"Okay, then sticking 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ616MA7KWck
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHI7mtBT6Q
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc6IwOTesG
To make our shopping 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdZmuNKC9A
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxwc1w1y4T
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT1t6hpd4J
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMsvHQEsCT
the shelves when he wasn't looking.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23IOfiEu1z
We even got red 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf5naREeAg
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2x1Olx8pB
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgoG6Nlerf
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWhacLHMB7
though she seems not to show it sometimes.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiMpkf9Pm0
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUusVhXKAl
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLhKLqIIWc
"Oh, I'm scared for 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wgzpDPuTP
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ3DfsYd3T
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqa0O0oVrw
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLm3r2iqYv
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ZB0QmUNF
Mike did just that and 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2iDakZCQE
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqS2iiKOs1
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslmkYUx7P9
Christine came to me with red party hats.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNzcgVQXGJ
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhz3clfERy
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQnsA4fFhW
"In case what?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS3psX2UXZ
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLkuRgoQsy
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKpYnuETte
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw5p6mRzov
"Lee is calling," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6IMbpRTIg
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzdMrfl4Qx
"You guys just never 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1uZzumgzb
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZwKS0NDti
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCTtWcDbQf
you're throwing a party."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJPkelrWiZ
"Ya, we are," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRuoiVHOn3
"All I wanted was for 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv12o806Rfq
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mCWs1DTis
party out of the blue because you wanted to."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJgCukk9uG
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo1yFaDrog
"Don't tell me, save if 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE3rWeVNe1
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFONlTth1T
don't help, Collins might just fire me."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEbbugn0x8
"You know he wouldn't." I825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuAtgFS9Bo
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3omq1BeMd
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VGQ2s4HBx
beauty salon at all."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY58DdZuTU
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzDDG1lpxm
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxcS1QeaKI
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWOahh6e0k
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSAfg6vaS0
"Sure they can. It's not825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3apTrvlATf
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagD7qEMEOQ
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQtvx7FmqP
call them." 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfBJqFo2Ms
"Ya, you do that."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzdqKHPLAB
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbwNgxwln7
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNInEI6GMm
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICSylHYjFM
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEktGP7zHtx
"Red? Why red?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0lrnrdDgH
"Well, it's the theme for the party."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMbDB0XvTu
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iX1ALicmh
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBdwDBvncq
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5LJi8uPud
"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."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z8CjZj66H
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkfs66KYas
"Thanks, Lee."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4I8ljs47o
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflzfUmdXkg
Lee cut the line and I 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyIHldoq05
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuUa627BSz
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIYmxaUqvc
into them with the trolley.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Az1f3VGen
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTIHo6ce9V
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Zjw6TtpE
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuhi8jH9nt
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCRmjIfO3s
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncf2FqRz6N
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E9dW9WJB2
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGuxpl4YnO
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3is6TTgaSj
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcx8RIxW0Z
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81874pDeEf
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYKxbOuZxi
"Aren't we almost done 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsLBDnI8ia
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYOqv21tM5
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQasmLCjfR
"I think we got all that825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8elKNyvvM
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QdTMoZLR
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwZUbb3whQ
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetPx9uaU6O
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ci1BrqXQZ
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAms4799tN
"Did someone say cake?" 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf4eeAG4Gu
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9tu0RPdDy
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXx266Qo9t
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!"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93JhRQ9xC3
"Okay, looks like I 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQby1EOpqI
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnjYAJFglU
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlbjUa3eD4
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6uVSjTpf
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUVbi6qXBB
"No one knows," said 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5HhqKq1fh
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArHCeVzrU0
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnun55UUO77
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7llxEN6NS1
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBpcoZAWPu
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFAjVps7D8
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBvQeBfGfI
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIfXHyP43d
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4TI8JWt0x
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iXkyVf8ZM
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfELMWjvHAD
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktvjpWSIUK
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMKVfNYcnh
"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."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AyaRFj9x
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCpkQGTXK4
We quickly went straight825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlrmwF1IJr
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTF0PRhX25
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHVHbiiJlh
easily by passersby.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuRQIHt8ph
As soon as we were done 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhLDx3wp98
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpI7sctij1
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHNDac2Unh
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4lrTjIVHQ
another.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Squk8LuM
Surprisingly, as many 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIatR0dJ84p
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZqqRjWwQK
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilMBwIbQZy
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lAbEmU5iS
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GWVbpAGn4
to come out with were red shoes.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R9uSepoFa
"This is getting 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gjkUSju1A
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFIUx5q617
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGvAEhoJhD
can't seem to find the right outfit."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lfI7fr2Al
"Shouldn't we have just 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT0xGGjV4s
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTniP6LEVbd
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ArrR0uiJ2
"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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jj7z34gIS
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtAQNWYEk2
"I feel so too," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CnIUBvcVk
"You know the offer is 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9vr306AKe
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPEy7NHhYc
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV7Z5Pjrm2
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WcqX1j4Eu
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqgOB1O83s
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhd8RIIR2q
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr4dTfd7F0
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYqyzw0gv2
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqoqNpuKZ3
"No, I'm calling Lee. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SjyDJ3Gzm
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5imDExyYfp
phone began to ring at the under end.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15X8Flt9mq
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtJOGjaOSr
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDvFbzTMJW
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIx9qN04Zy
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3j9NVSUzE
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1DwgS5RDD
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLjoRyjx2x
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBUZZ7DENt
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhrbocsgqS
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjuK4H781R
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtdA9NUBMl
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHe57LQhUS
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Z3s6vugR
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8wFniI4cY
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw822aftsX
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmSmXTNfst
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zggIHcFjG
"Well, lucky her," said 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQLGlHQvVx
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFNZEV3S6v
like she found what she was looking for."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezpGJnG1D0
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqChUQzWTbG
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau88jCl6AG
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZtTcalpWC
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLTLgqf04W
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDse2RIwMrz
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EFgfcCOVj
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Rrxa0FKy
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmIcqAMFBK
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd3hEC63Ih
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIf7pnqqv1
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLuOSCkMSa
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVottR7MqG
"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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wwOFzfbg6
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8PY68fYeG
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGW3DuZWSZ
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWxjYfrKB1
I kept on looking in the825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8USSapw29p
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rq690Mrw6
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rqZcjiG5g
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9nFNcJZ6z
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtHrPIX12M
"I like it," said 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqHSKJn8Rr
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVqqmc8ogK
they are really going to match with your heels."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HwardtfUW
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLFWhgQuVn
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyem0Ewt2J
"I didn't ask for your 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Nna18T9k
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6jP1Q1M4h
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ESjF3jr20
"But I bet she looked more prettier."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBbL5DLgFL
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweLXJU1LHl
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAG4WVKmKT
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgf0yeNKHj
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tpYpCUSsM
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzXuNWSshR
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXoVIqaOac
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QrSrBm10J
Christine ran off to the825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfDKrZb3Sj
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPWlp0XbwE
her hand and back in her usual clothes.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD69i2z3ay
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LlgFpgTzD
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQlXASRiQP
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHExv65tLg
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYy8xbsFNt
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunt8JfktRa
"I feel the last four 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1NNFn03uW
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJJzOKGWdo
out a red top that didn't feel right still.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4jqnm6lyW
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVlfbSEKJt
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF00oBjs9v
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzJ7GMW0Nf
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf5B8tdTFp
"True," said Zoey from the counter.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqkzME9uFf
"You can do it well 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vpM7nDZ05
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh3ee5tt3E
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eviO6mzg4
rack.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVIpih39dC
"And you don't have to 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cQhIcmedT
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzyXml9Hub
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRxq6XqTjN
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDlRSMWw4s
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfa2iUPucs
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljxXfMD7Xk
"Me neither," said Daniel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6h6EsA8r1
"Well, now you know," said Lee.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTYtfAkoTy
"Gosh, there is nothing 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmkiar0b6e
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKdyMGi6p3
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5WNhArVXu
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwZlpYpmQV
"Let me go in the last aisle."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsAxBANPZ6
Just as I was about to 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQUYw7c62q
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLzFVnlnPf
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfVDjhHTlT
backwards.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjywR0HNoS
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3BlzpaV6u
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDVMcuuY0D
"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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrqNEcA4br
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr4T8pwDJi
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwtcnr2cJH
I looked at the person 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLPaLAQ78L
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZa4Nx8Nu4
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mk6fGccvR
"Hey," said Zoey as she 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FHVrSW3hN
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dfitmSpu3
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBDZvRIiFq
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG0fWVwjpo
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qyIGO9XMt
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcGGwUdjrR
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufguXURL80
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4loESmfNQ9
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjjmCgGTQF
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJYmA1Crf5
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs29yVUoBi
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTBBne7Cgd
Immediately my two 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZ4NvGM11
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhVyyDKYc4
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO7JSP6doB
Then all of the sudden, a825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVoBzngZxz
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6KjdyeXoF
was coming from. It was Christine.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSNwczNIiS
She quickly covered her 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcomMHUHMAt
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxGl4mqrO0
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ZQvIfSyr
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRful9Dr0uZ
"Spare her," said 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBPcjIuziU
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz0uIf3X2U
ourselves contained when we see famous people."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3gO49JNTo
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QGwTgkQP9
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSQ1P8BUzd
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcT0zi75Kw
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgvRWjb1nS
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGBMLQOZKn
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9r1QxRXth
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV9PSjX7k9
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU5c9UuKVw
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9CBL0Bwgo
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPYyQ4Bo1C
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmYhHtUI2I
"I already did, thanks. 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsd6aJ3WAG
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrQOCpzJ8W
to go back and prepare for the party."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjfn0E9e5o
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Hv4Ydc5s
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajC4bO5lXm
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGHADMD5JT
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBsc4lGd77
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO3G0x1dF1
Joy turned around and I 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf2P68DYOJ
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1wEHjnEHE
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSNeJ5kI8n
she drew out the one she was looking for.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Omej8PQSw
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFP3bX4DBO
She gave me a red short 825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEcjO0Wxeo
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMSUDwLUz6
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHou3l9f35A
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPQe7xVfct
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZYOLIoRcb
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWZEMuiolj
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6P3iGhBNw
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX4IjO96xx
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAULqK4eE9
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzZjNTWQY9
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbntoQoYBK
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI1WLcsJ6T
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJfGFwnz5s
"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.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhq3AZBpx
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfw7T0N3mT
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjNPQJ1aV0
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolpSYZECrB
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TNkVUOmXD
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtVaLWMDjB
"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?"825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBK4Pg8itF
"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."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs0kWu2YJ7
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9zqAWQPy7
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VwJbBJUbB
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX83nKmPK9S
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMePpOY8UB
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.825Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVidPMrWQ4
