"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzOo1iWkL
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5woRlNkg
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDJDNPykCT
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV7eEb8YYo
Collins laughed. "Are 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6urFdT3yZy
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK8FzzYlUA
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P8ZRoz83H
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJgGm3Vbdo
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wWEeFFqGQ
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj1k4CWQV3
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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrkWDWOweM
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbzo0C5rRm
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdsnRJgtrG
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKlqrXaaAR
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBZmjgsUYi
"Gosh, what to do with 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUo1WGEmjD
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8eIidWrL6
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8a0PtzpA0
end up in a cell."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H2dDg9aU3
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7S21Rrvpv
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlSZOoIMFN
"We promise," said Zoey.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytLcfCQ71z
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nlo2ddMS5
"Well, that went well," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB12UWhBlgP
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP6qtvMSHm
"There was nothing he 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCP1UmGROA
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PeYmf89an
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKcZUma6ru
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vBSZF1I6w
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuDdby4vhh
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelRoQNk1BC
The five of us all came 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4hKEEbN1x
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiA0P661jT
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZwWFiyyzq
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjAYSsT9z7
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMZC4RZYwk
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbzytYLaJF
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZrH9V19F
"Okay, then sticking 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqn7bGzUKR
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RazHowBO
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsKTpO5Awm
To make our shopping 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYpLPbQVuK
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbP2dq0NVX
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc9405DWzT
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycUlI3aE7R
the shelves when he wasn't looking.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oiXUFawHa
We even got red 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFkrm4pZGf
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhv9bRvY9E
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaimDexwdu
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwLirMPs9g
though she seems not to show it sometimes.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUigmH4N6R
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33mZEZ131y
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaNWnc4JGZ
"Oh, I'm scared for 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMzE8hig39
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TphktEu9W
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa90Pc6q6k
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNKGwZA12t
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H8Mcdc30f
Mike did just that and 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxux5rZpBgr
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysWup27rxo
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y3UP7omgG
Christine came to me with red party hats.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDbkH7OqTQ
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLVaCMKkPY
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQPy7QrKd
"In case what?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7qIYzKBek
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFifLKNmYK
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydSwlc5wfK
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmXuTvpwBt
"Lee is calling," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymAuuKuStF
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ktnINgpD
"You guys just never 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSskOWTDy7
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhkDgwieNa
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtmpuaWsog
you're throwing a party."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4HmOPHE6y
"Ya, we are," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CpeKn1wQF
"All I wanted was for 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHvZsN0m0o
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJyszpvFfU
party out of the blue because you wanted to."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILmWCumx0n
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tu4G5L1Xl
"Don't tell me, save if 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjdsTelFxp
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKRPehptMS
don't help, Collins might just fire me."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZaaL4Jvo9
"You know he wouldn't." I787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAvNi8qpo5
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTsFjxnmP
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8p22BPBKX
beauty salon at all."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBsgo9vRgY
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5neeBKuJxl
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp5iXs1boa
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpPBSP1DuJ
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOLTFsiZ23
"Sure they can. It's not787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FXEEnevl
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAJ7niu4hA
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSUgAB0vcg
call them." 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eyHIjXX5X
"Ya, you do that."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvypT8sL9WV
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkNo4BE8zt
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH6mpAJrxx
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNoUOhV7k6
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfmwycKJbR
"Red? Why red?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC0wXndjXf
"Well, it's the theme for the party."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal7idYtKiO
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkBZ1I1d8G
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejoDswi6kX
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNowSJ1M82
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9FSlyI8lL
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVodmANS8mD
"Thanks, Lee."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZLspLAEUs
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbisSXPUTpn
Lee cut the line and I 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdI5cPyxWo
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlurBku73xC
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTLSJBdTr8
into them with the trolley.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImDi8NQ2r0
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcktKB88eYK
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCUNklGHjm
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0bZXF7RtU
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6g3xUYkCG
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbFdih4W5W
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOHwJGXPhM
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TCFCCh2bp
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfT25MGJ8c
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkJ4JXbnF7
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy78RRudkDg
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMoKEoMF82
"Aren't we almost done 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9LCzI2Pwi
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcOZmGXO1z
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuMAMhOOPh
"I think we got all that787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ImzqCuVs
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztknlBxdjM
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnIEOAwG1V
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9JmEMOCrS
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B0a2VGriO
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjnb97tikk
"Did someone say cake?" 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpvSmIODm7
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdge54C3dC8
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurmC7HVnbA
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!"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hTpt5ntcZ
"Okay, looks like I 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXsakggLgT
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kfciy0LDG
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaLkFx7UgL
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqf9dStMqN
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhk0XeqqvE
"No one knows," said 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdszUBUPBhL
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes0sVhNBeT
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueNzY7H1Zs
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsxMBRVYCX
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MWIs3kknv
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBedLbtsrh
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23AuKZBAOG
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7liK2CQ0j
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy7c6CyMeg
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNaVd1kTwA
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38IzcYgSxi
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQL6x6W78O
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OPHNJgufE
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9isgYqInFq
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRBdb8zHB
We quickly went straight787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabAd9o0M0d
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoa7m4T25B
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XYrxVqgTJ
easily by passersby.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3z37QVcqo
As soon as we were done 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfdIJEy5Ju
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ijFZKtztT
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglQFNm4JCj
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsfrx8V4aE
another.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2CZu5Zagf
Surprisingly, as many 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKmt8Zk4cL
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5jvkqLa24
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYuhDBBYbo
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcEKRrrQSU
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHa2c1HDDH
to come out with were red shoes.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmv0ZCzep9
"This is getting 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn9t2aEUE8
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVRm5wXDuy
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNRngM17JC
can't seem to find the right outfit."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdKywdCXFp
"Shouldn't we have just 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqfQGZYWxE
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ABkxoTr2
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBFsjsY1S9
"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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFwQ6er8e
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypNRjt1OXo
"I feel so too," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XQ4Ua8fIS
"You know the offer is 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUYYHNaUPf
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT3WoCxTkT
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrATFrdNVBe
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BRfYbjUKV
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ha0ZLbdtL
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYpVJvR5l2
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC5T77j8d3
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdeRHkaoJ0
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NuJRiYsh4
"No, I'm calling Lee. 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNSSjyCZ06
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsZI6nGsSn
phone began to ring at the under end.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug7rMQwwbF
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohwIiTecSn
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpJrst5pGY
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDmgggdiTa
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuCQBXiarX
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6j4Zkoud7
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgdFFyKmb4
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMP75E2bOe
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSOH5hyXhi
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNNxJpACmc
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUhlGlZnYD
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUojc4x6rTs
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrjsihrXVd
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeW1vJCdOo
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8JUcJQT2h
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQFOG74pm0
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJ4X2XeCr
"Well, lucky her," said 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY3rogsH1E
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmDVvT8w9T
like she found what she was looking for."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7JDIDpvdM
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTbVcGDx3V
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5jQ9AMFSB
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqWjLdfMny
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSZNKJiP8c
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HBZTug3fr
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyFNnj7Zr2
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlwvq30C61
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0OeKAIRF
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ54QqGCMI
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0iq49DqT8
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCUh95DjJF
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7acY2sEMQO
"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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LFqBAiJr7
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOytZjhJbny
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy6xAxDprH
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjAReMyI9n
I kept on looking in the787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO2MPwzA3l
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUuNQ9byAb
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZrE9ef1k1
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnaBmicyzB
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErivQ4zXGB
"I like it," said 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCH5NFftzK
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ueYy0nXAN
they are really going to match with your heels."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqSOWKaVyl
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1TCFhGapA
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv4MzIssr1
"I didn't ask for your 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHndQlBXZv
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkgqHH3toN
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEnQ4iaF8C
"But I bet she looked more prettier."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Y6RcInjU
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcws4Dugt77
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXoySVzIV7
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiMYrKeehQ
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoojEaJJxSp
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis02TXo4gu
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh6NJEdA9G
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksI4az5mY7
Christine ran off to the787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXISyFcsRkM
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNWikX8PAz
her hand and back in her usual clothes.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfEXfvKbMU
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaWtXxUJtz
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KINV1kSpY
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tHoOcVlCO
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuRVFUth3i
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3W6JHvEtu
"I feel the last four 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsPgCXkNvC
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP3pfIJCjc
out a red top that didn't feel right still.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIajK5FnLF
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmJbo0B3Wt
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu40T6sdThV
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocpNUxK6RD
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ukiwNx3R
"True," said Zoey from the counter.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEgGGq6AFa
"You can do it well 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZnePMboFR
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTefRK3tD3R
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWa6xu56xn
rack.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sk1YWs0HA
"And you don't have to 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uv3mP6wgr
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIGNIOyYcn
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSToU2xCDpY
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDjHWrmsyp
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ16ur7C5i
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTWwGRM8bL
"Me neither," said Daniel.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQnsFwBeyS
"Well, now you know," said Lee.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuCgLbKjFb
"Gosh, there is nothing 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ObbiaaZoc
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33EKZdE3yq
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCPCXFQgqk
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptrs07XGzf
"Let me go in the last aisle."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ZlDKmMgh
Just as I was about to 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSH6BFkwp1
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKrMxkh59A
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZAgB19xCW
backwards.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CzHw15SUN
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJWc4cwKJy
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zkvE8plt6
"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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JwUKjNBqa
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRprIr7Edqg
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQiiM63I5d
I looked at the person 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UlmxlzS1c
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRan8vjHnN0
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGR7WtPAVx
"Hey," said Zoey as she 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH021mgLHVY
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpXXRsWpBl
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc23fqbpqu
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIaZ4RbGrP
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYPIetH7Hi
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdvO1Pn0SZ
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJrdlcpMqD
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1UkEL3bMt
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckULyllfDt
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XkFacYJH8
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih1imZUrOl
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGXtryvvBc
Immediately my two 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqMLHyOZ1y
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyRcTw6tBz
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfW5FpK4EC
Then all of the sudden, a787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGq6Q56MyV
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh23Bg4hLu
was coming from. It was Christine.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq7OSSGH8i
She quickly covered her 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOt2oi8TxH
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNosdwWPX3B
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPgIGDuRz
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mSuiCCTrZ
"Spare her," said 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXX8VSK406
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwASDHOgCM
ourselves contained when we see famous people."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMcnviyPbL
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs6nqCpVyU
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8bGIdfEWO
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHZbVXXmqP
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqcYfmCD7s
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hQi6y3Jji
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzLM1yNSFb
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2J94b6wJV
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxmXtyscN1
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2mDKuQ2md
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa9B0C19wh
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yZFUAm6ls
"I already did, thanks. 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzzrO9xbjy
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQJU1qOLEY
to go back and prepare for the party."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1njTrI2FD
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLLgDvAgYz
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SXMdBkSAj
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2pZSR31Aj
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69pYV7leLy
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwLnAAgANt
Joy turned around and I 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQ5jUe8DQ
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX2bgi0wwQ
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3wdoSFWqU
she drew out the one she was looking for.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3eaypvcz7
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjtudJ5pYr
She gave me a red short 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4LuVaovTF
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI1mY2KtXa
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5gX7Fq9uH
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ndpas1AX
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZefBwW8Fm
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCQQlLU8mZ
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG7Vw8Xt4B
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMkLgsmryU
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiOk7KoNvc
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzIaxxEIzY
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGuX0tPXhf
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwRiayGYBP
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryjNdjTxAU
"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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sKNVJHs1l
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWqPbI9SVR
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezHQee09po
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGc9zQEnuO
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4OZVYULc3
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hj3Zz6BhQ
"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?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgupFOGYrUf
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzghHueEp0j
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGKeYQTlDz
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6OJgKxHhu
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ3zv7toZ2
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2HJVvJvT7
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3zLyOWKFA
