"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9HdW8PPiB
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e6DaDQv5C
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW0DAcVAzy
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrUxsKy8Fw
Collins laughed. "Are 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLYE0H16hT
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWQpJJEgby
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf2PllVBoA
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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuhJaTZVJN
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4moGEvVgJ
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNIuWafUSo
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."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRkkiz0lIt
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzMuNXka46
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlGTuwyVIz
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVcPX7FvFE
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfHIkueWi7
"Gosh, what to do with 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjLAVLYJqd
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeZFD5Pwgm
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSryf60qeE7
end up in a cell."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLe0FqW09A
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynoC2jykpB
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwBqOgwsba
"We promise," said Zoey.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPQBNLkNur
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SqDpSL2z0
"Well, that went well," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYYClRXde8
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSRim50Xoa
"There was nothing he 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOUJzwvjVN
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMs1Pat2KF
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoiePSFrR9
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGQXaWk5GN
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHFVTrJY9A
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlGVgwyKDU
The five of us all came 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMaN3TVs3n
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqZtiTekEv
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eOCQHthi6
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNmYu2LDMX
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs9JoYrj8R
"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."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cY2FXttQu
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfuFRb2jRx
"Okay, then sticking 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRfOPAO5zA
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApCPaXJV3D
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgNZNt9aLX
To make our shopping 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z2yEJZl88
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LndoglwAK
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYSfOIJVZ2
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsLChtepcA
the shelves when he wasn't looking.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrD5C0TeaD
We even got red 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSTITucs0l
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgaWZzE4Zp
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtgeQL1uSX
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EJyr29Lo7
though she seems not to show it sometimes.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9RUCzkMqE
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNh4CVr5wr
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwS9pwkpCh
"Oh, I'm scared for 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbB3A80qQj
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XdqMfjoeZ
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v6rgMdAWD
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuegfIBnn4
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXtHudLr8V
Mike did just that and 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XOaZLct7
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4CnYiYsrX
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wkdEXcImO
Christine came to me with red party hats.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bI7MOUTTv
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEMqRbt6bX
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuAbvJboyb
"In case what?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8gtQAA21h
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aoFP5KJg5
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5iBk0m5dX
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYi9RgpieG
"Lee is calling," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla1jZZJGpp
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NNNX6iMtd
"You guys just never 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ff0MtYGCa
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OnbvUAOhq
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8XFsIO332
you're throwing a party."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s0ftaavJT
"Ya, we are," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhsoxXt5AU
"All I wanted was for 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasMHPCLbi8
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hLY39fcyG
party out of the blue because you wanted to."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01zICIc4Rr
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVD6GCKv0Y
"Don't tell me, save if 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtqHHsTvK5
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoMc285s1c
don't help, Collins might just fire me."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcuDlI4GjG
"You know he wouldn't." I722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju0gubXd4H
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKQ4G1Zd6r
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXcHTlh1e3
beauty salon at all."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv57VRTEpq8
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv0FiEVk9p
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qqnBQz73X
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccq5VkSMTd
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVAOeQGOcI
"Sure they can. It's not722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP7jJ2PMBX
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xq9HsrnGZ
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl80IurwHqP
call them." 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAOtKhmFo4
"Ya, you do that."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXSpR0LlI
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupdTiug6Z1
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmebboYGj4
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIyXvfZV1Q
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2BDbDJNBd
"Red? Why red?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKH7wajpdD
"Well, it's the theme for the party."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSi9OlXh7j
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUwWlvKmzY
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCHv3Z7X9O
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA06J3wuBL8
"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."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX37fCL73x6
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6EMD2LEKm
"Thanks, Lee."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlugIQq6pTd
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiKkE9XNYs
Lee cut the line and I 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZoEqxW6Oh
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALFUNCK8Z
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqIPbDxXMv
into them with the trolley.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6EKMMYYHB
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlawX2RBv92
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bB9mCKCzt
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp3KNL74Zl
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6AkB0HaiL
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISejzxB2bs
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3lbALKWRu
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyfyBCZQE2
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarQNEkZ65x
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIijhbghmqe
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDDvZLsZEa
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4cPHwMOd
"Aren't we almost done 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo8OfTuIZF
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MTjmnrfmY
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNTchCF0ic
"I think we got all that722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWDnZpERKo
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5e4qNx1x5
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDQLNQH53r
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDDiiQc883
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfiKfR7jTo
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH3kvh2xtO
"Did someone say cake?" 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGLCtBgg6M
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O6qyKAk6R
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXsDt5Xaxm
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!"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYSfyzbCZ6
"Okay, looks like I 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTSb5gfznp
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ahq0fKkFD
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEOxeq7dCX
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTzw4WPOq1
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ytqc2ZWDv
"No one knows," said 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt3Za8qpu6
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJyPLyMloR
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbtzaE5d7V
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaWVI2Y9Vb
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfijsz0ngAy
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHunhK7wA9T
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSCJE9URh6
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI4ClscZG0
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NTrmYhkIB
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5zxADtfpT
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70NX0BU9H1
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7C4XmF2a
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA2ZzHyiBu
"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."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8oNILO6FA
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNbe1JNrJ1
We quickly went straight722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBaeW4e8Mi
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEP3xrSXX9
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pB49IKg6f
easily by passersby.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8G9lyOsEG
As soon as we were done 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY7nyL4CQk
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZZg62lP8z
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCQre51FGT
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTtdRvT5nk
another.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcdhvjDdLB
Surprisingly, as many 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr8zZnUhaC
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HjAGH75vm
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4IjDesroJ
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz8NDuk8FD
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVs5otSNMI
to come out with were red shoes.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqsy3bOFTR
"This is getting 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRNQwut4DB
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7FaYpE2ZY
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1NdMCDUQX
can't seem to find the right outfit."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzi7Ird0pJ
"Shouldn't we have just 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh3En1ze1S
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8h6t2onGU
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL29rS2zPkz
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcwbdfjvRZ
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vhtJCx4Fj
"I feel so too," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMNyxUz4Cp
"You know the offer is 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM6IqsDaZP
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqu0Tfyojb
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJpU9CPMOZ
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRnTCF5g1Z
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpkhceSTSx
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiPdu9Npkx
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy0Fwdba2k
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYu64ZpcKK
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUwguIk2oD
"No, I'm calling Lee. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCGrIaqurv
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxZ3Kdm340
phone began to ring at the under end.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhhOPb9PZP
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC19T5zrik
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAHKVpnHBi
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrspZXrJi7
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6niCOp65vX
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2wsBSPSHh
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60kGWOsqYY
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMy4DnXbjF
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRu8zTAKAM
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT59yOqfi5V
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qt39K2bLx
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z35B8k8T4
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYwcF5iwsm
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalML4H66M6
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu36N15rEwV
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkGKOH9Nlt
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90HxVh7236
"Well, lucky her," said 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJl1bluIc
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5leamudNqN
like she found what she was looking for."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8lTfp9ZaP
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPMIEgclMo
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LVJYVKbVv
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbVQyJ4pxY
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie5jxxjwNM
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc7iT1omPn
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrQPBnVsMB
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3nt8DhAWQ
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIKiId5rWu
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjTbEf3V02
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ScayQcCYf
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3k9ptC2xg
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UUJlNHU8G
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9qnllRzv7
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaEVLqrjek
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHdfXxfXut
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCkFm714mR
I kept on looking in the722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQoeokIegI
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK3yVTHoXh
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMViIdjh5T
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UbvdyB54j
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8URaovS3Lg
"I like it," said 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2OLjuPhfm
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJHWZy52Df
they are really going to match with your heels."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzaEkb8sDB
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgiilRBu68
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9UoKY6kC7
"I didn't ask for your 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJsKhFI5x1
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZkmjeWCS5
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifurDgiB34
"But I bet she looked more prettier."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSq4yjGwm9
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSWiH0Y4YX
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyivNCr2TK
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQrz48PASw
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSZx3lgaN5
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddf0TSWKMN
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qNvpPmy7k
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqPw3bovZO
Christine ran off to the722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJGaB3vpW2
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqeUUpEY2l
her hand and back in her usual clothes.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fbj0Ijtik
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumUbXUZU82
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaelH3HCxK
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxOKjfvOtm
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLxrmjxy96
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZkX8kHMm0
"I feel the last four 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK12U9T2RvU
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM7aZBJ8Ia
out a red top that didn't feel right still.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWMUMhBEuz
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Pa5GkBDh
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CSJleW1Y7
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsNdtdLkxJ
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOcF9L058r
"True," said Zoey from the counter.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LF07movDl
"You can do it well 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EGSMaf4bd
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTGEqpNFpG
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvRPxGk3Tf
rack.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLECuFJ4K4e
"And you don't have to 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ArYsQoKF
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu0j5en9bD
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Z5EkFISR
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDNddzUSP6
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJkhS6g6B6
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncx0vc78qF
"Me neither," said Daniel.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfOCaHuQCV
"Well, now you know," said Lee.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Vwl4iA0H
"Gosh, there is nothing 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOt6EWPOJZ
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeewZwSZZJ
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryva4MaSmv
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi7kBxmjPw
"Let me go in the last aisle."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOCrNjiQ6S
Just as I was about to 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4eSIeDaFk
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2fSsD3UIm
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaHHhVpntl
backwards.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yn9jhxx1V
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX14AuDGfCi
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTGGjBzqHS
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnbM2Snx9W
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqE9clrxPN
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgUkvjaTjP
I looked at the person 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTxE8S19Iq
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte8CcTOiXQ
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1LJJ8puDz
"Hey," said Zoey as she 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBgWe8YhZh
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ux6Dc4meo
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK4MMYE8O0
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFOGXlrd5j
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7svNrYsN1U
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRpWXdo8MS
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAt7ArULOq
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEk5KaLSIS
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXDcaZ42ME
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7PouXZblY
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXTJCzfXzd
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdbUmbWAzW
Immediately my two 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfhhpPyDCM
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sJvbwtk1e
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi0ZWufALV
Then all of the sudden, a722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeRE3NcYKp
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmqoOJ2xDa
was coming from. It was Christine.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4X6lYYPHO
She quickly covered her 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MXt6ucZCi
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwihloM9Cq2
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fcRQT3Tr9
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDWgkgOWB6
"Spare her," said 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD7TrIJRZw
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jSZT9cY25
ourselves contained when we see famous people."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Gh3Jlr16
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMXWkz0QjC
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpcz8h5dbz
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQN18NEgqK
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O14ca38xf
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWck2AopT0
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP2tHxoc3F
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7wLzfXK7E
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAl9MVJI4L
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE6KD1wSqy
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJU08JJjj
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcwLlDO37
"I already did, thanks. 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquBlgzIRBV
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PYnxtl3DR
to go back and prepare for the party."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXH0kFtFFH
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRODSb5ba8
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq1jVidr9Z
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj0auidaJY
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuxWLzo2QL
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67ifTw9TGD
Joy turned around and I 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZYmQraEWR
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31IL0TYrl9
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFdqF12TGQ
she drew out the one she was looking for.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMQ27svhNP
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNpVG1Hj6C
She gave me a red short 722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qtcqdPQAf
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCyrIEPseK
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DFHKtSR1o
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCmzcunWRK
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpvFIJS7gR
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwH91vQBD6
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlqMNzRdXV
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAZHi8fvZ0
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox0zvqJRxc
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HtBQvjp4s
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1qsdfWrnJ
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQAtfWm59c
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QVaMVMXNn
"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.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DpyTBtF4T
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG0avxROtD
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS8trElFzr
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu10ZlXkHud
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdwYmT3LCI
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesnsDS2thG
"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?"722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOJgEW5z26
"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."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpRONpduNO
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpeErZPBTd
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpm895JxZX
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0rV0iOy5f
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8xvjQHAYA
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.722Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ7CLT4FKy
