"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkflMLv5F5
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvEup83pRT
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN9L3GbDAd
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrg38175sH
Collins laughed. "Are 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI97UJTFUdP
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkF5izD2lh
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAwNqTARNv
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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYepB8oXm3
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Og6uu8Br
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8nV6VnJvP
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."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV0zcDhG1U
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5VzPlnTfo
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpcg17DErR
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjI09vq9ZJ
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSSwO8vmGV
"Gosh, what to do with 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3zbH0bAhd
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PL78NYQKl
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN2sBctYF9
end up in a cell."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCBqY5RI47
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MD5yvrY2Z
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepTHVKiGWv
"We promise," said Zoey.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR1LC0PtLq
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigeqgQ0KyZ
"Well, that went well," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlSGbW3ni
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpXW5nF9pL
"There was nothing he 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVul5OQhon
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2V04I26kC
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UUSwYGAAt
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38upByUMSG
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsjlWzJPO8
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bpV3vUx9x
The five of us all came 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj18hYEUM7
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwGUdIALNF
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNLP8pWIjt
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKJwgtaWsm
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ2G3hXeOD
"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."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnXdjAKsWL
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpry0t90awp
"Okay, then sticking 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7TuaNB26s
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdwnoLQZLt
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgEWE7TZdm
To make our shopping 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp7wOsFnKq
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYobwu0PQzP
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6osuVBXCyl
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfegbNNPZIM
the shelves when he wasn't looking.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP0uZgMmB6
We even got red 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgJ9yI3sn4
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX0fZgZ2U6
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddQJGDraoe
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MU0gjODbp
though she seems not to show it sometimes.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsvCpvQiXU
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUMazAu9fr
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDupL2vuDtt
"Oh, I'm scared for 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDjohZDmS
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoulNWAZKc
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9T2F0wJMP
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnZbdkB9JQ
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMOAQaeZfn
Mike did just that and 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjecS2cw6T
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Weo8GfmcK
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcXCn0YC2O
Christine came to me with red party hats.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbPCBMfGcc
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOBVL9aQzF
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfhidIUOuq
"In case what?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkLcWf2waY
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rGm9yHGU3
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSRryDWRrm
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwLzSKPBR5
"Lee is calling," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoTya0n6LW
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMlwFFTHei
"You guys just never 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0CLte4RH9
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWolty1aaeh
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCD8RBd22N
you're throwing a party."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsfEGNovv2
"Ya, we are," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRTfdraOiG
"All I wanted was for 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLlXkVkLrB
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf8O4xDmsp
party out of the blue because you wanted to."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeQP3nkuE4
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7xoTeeH3h
"Don't tell me, save if 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXLZ4Xn7XM
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQvfuZgYtW
don't help, Collins might just fire me."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYo6gtdmd1
"You know he wouldn't." I757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mzYtbrMva
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0gAr99ZG3
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCq4ISey9S
beauty salon at all."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi40sJUkF1W
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjY5HDbpwy
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4PdiCRQyK
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dSButPlAI
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9bBuYr8sa
"Sure they can. It's not757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDujcoT9MO
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtFL91OFH
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIGG8wWBQB
call them." 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXXH45Q31i
"Ya, you do that."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nh9GScmX4
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbFF5GKbM7
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfVjVQ6pZy
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoCX1I0BGY
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBGiPOKyzz
"Red? Why red?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SX9JExtau
"Well, it's the theme for the party."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVz45fJzK9
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ62VmGc4Js
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHIC5exFoG
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYPEhS5IHe
"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."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg6bJ7AtMA
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuKpGpA4bV
"Thanks, Lee."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0f4O7InvK
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xV6odYaRt
Lee cut the line and I 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIvQQsloxJ
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5FUMu9gyx
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nAD0D1WuY
into them with the trolley.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLEAKVh8GB
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MtZL8AzCW
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5IYxbpA8w
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ieNR6aNP
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLApQcv3irS
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlb0MLBfiu
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2v0hERqFu
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98i4IbXNwo
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJgtLdsCoA
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHMIa8Qx3h
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yKomEU1bK
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybBVbDASz2
"Aren't we almost done 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYZ1fKJcNX
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUB6mrGp9q
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vMXQTfsvy
"I think we got all that757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFyJpH8AeL
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZcgL4NLMX
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G0MrVIjPy
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKpSKb0ehl
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHo3iYypI
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MwJhuZwO6
"Did someone say cake?" 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMryAsa3c0
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUU4HO87aP
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDggsoiGbY
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!"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCuBk8sWXY
"Okay, looks like I 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwxCviIz0q
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM17nfkEQd
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gME0kaeVE
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FWN0D96sJ
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDVC0j65Kp
"No one knows," said 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hPfAkSiUS
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD5Z2hHIwp
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqDa3NwLC1
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj92PMPcKB
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHase1T4qwb
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGLfCMo8yu
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbLl0vhs99
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31FxeZLa4l
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKto381Mjt
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrv2r2tXWe
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLwkwcu6Jl
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSPW7oBLX0
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA5JgKQrf9
"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."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqGxwT3Mo8
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3KPx0ijCt
We quickly went straight757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnkf3oBYs1
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYDORHEjS
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e7yIKFI0N
easily by passersby.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDfVnqpFEK
As soon as we were done 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJVbYvqelg
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM7EJn2I1h
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ630VzgPXLa
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI8aVODpFq
another.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNss8CPgWcx
Surprisingly, as many 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rCQ6Jc9GD
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgWfDFvDVP
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QG3QbVqPz
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx1FsCNYli
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPE0GinVSQ
to come out with were red shoes.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtTUdqU9WM
"This is getting 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfvrBiryeV
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbX2RbOIP5
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew4w9C73l3
can't seem to find the right outfit."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Ccx8XSWS
"Shouldn't we have just 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoi0Ncm2cs
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgve1wg4LGR
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWswoDRRaH
"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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BxOxi4CEJ
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIidNerdSZd
"I feel so too," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJSgwSaQ4S
"You know the offer is 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b1UJaTDVV
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusyBy36nNJ
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oRcQwXkug
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRVdWtG5W
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsk0Dfh9a3
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH95Bb6qX9c
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLhoOqBDXq
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqt5RiIUMm
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sg7861Ukg
"No, I'm calling Lee. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNNQIemkV
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiddanfNeej
phone began to ring at the under end.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZXaUM4KDZ
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCNmjpbD0o
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B0nYc6k4N
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrjk0ep66M
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNWZwcT3PJ
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppoj6zZjOI
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUQYITbdho
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGvuT0rupp
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX5vDRXQKf
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG42OA8wTK0
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g5tH1HEAh
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcYINJWJPB
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJSXv9uPCR
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvozrK0gRqG
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1H9CmICuf
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYSf1H2rRb
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPEGB1TdOP
"Well, lucky her," said 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhn8H5RbtS
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyw6B4708h
like she found what she was looking for."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2jTsyWgPQ
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VpPRGFC7z
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZQpJdkV8q
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPFGAw6Fm3
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjRIYFVS9J
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJTiUvdJcp
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQcosoVG8B
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjydU9lqiwz
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKw08vWcfY
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpC2tiBxtr
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UkDHeTXTQ
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMOqXuRktZ
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDGa5k8D3K
"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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe5qwvpiqY
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytKpqh1wub
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTmY3dUh6
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GHW81Omku
I kept on looking in the757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj2GBRql7l
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjH8FRpyLT
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG63KxhboY
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4VJ97d0Rt
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQUH7xpwLd
"I like it," said 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrDg5EszDj
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhMUDGyPqd
they are really going to match with your heels."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLdy2GaNNK
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tp8XJizbP
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxDoSQYI2p
"I didn't ask for your 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWS9guZTf
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuk6JBmd04
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLBKjp3wHQ
"But I bet she looked more prettier."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFB8y134Lt
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSxuWy33EJ
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddNgSjz1gc
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD7HoEZTBu
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFTahcN6Dx
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ot3yfhkt7
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29CXiV3hN4
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiITlQDCxVV
Christine ran off to the757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPktBwb94SC
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75YjBZlxsH
her hand and back in her usual clothes.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ4sdcSiu6
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cEvpbbAWs
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcURZY4tVcl
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4fdp4VNrP
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZvIFPsoQA
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkiN397mCq
"I feel the last four 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRKzBXMM3J
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWrnoFYrhW
out a red top that didn't feel right still.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnrOZC4PQr
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmF9eEZbqE
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4PGFkt6x5
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShp5cojHJO
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr15FBXcKIz
"True," said Zoey from the counter.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL38fgAPp6y
"You can do it well 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEoNR1bmFK
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWe8OML8dV
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fb88Edy2U
rack.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv93EgzSeR7
"And you don't have to 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtM2Ah4ZMd
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9MQ38Amm
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvKP1UKn6D
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoWzr1NHLQ
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLePqPVU7W9
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2A6PCnyKm
"Me neither," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpdpFJ6wHN
"Well, now you know," said Lee.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvfPE0xmvk
"Gosh, there is nothing 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO7mqbvysc
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRz8azZD3k
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYcHqlC365
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjgIp8EPBE
"Let me go in the last aisle."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kSfydFOkB
Just as I was about to 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIk3XBSwSu
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETA1NLLtrD
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFZRkVGS7M
backwards.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd0FNHW23j
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xaSrGGTzf
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMKREKsOs9
"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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEawjoPuKN
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUpNxxtJJ6
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa2AJIAFrC
I looked at the person 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJquCswayI
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6FdeJuXO
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3yXT7MRnF
"Hey," said Zoey as she 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJcL7L9DjQ
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNvOgPBs4X
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFamIBLdON
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGC7xJ02Tk
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VjUmsQ2bh
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvjt69VUsD
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgJGNUmLkG
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7d3SDIXnb
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7krFm6Vtb
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvft7s1sHWX
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS1ieNNOg0
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiviBYta8j
Immediately my two 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGRuk7VrQl
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGyXyrpac9
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlduRZLmNmo
Then all of the sudden, a757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseAkUybOoc
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiV5RDDKEy
was coming from. It was Christine.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr8DKAbIRw
She quickly covered her 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6blW2xUVZX
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O92USQi9s
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XGgMb71AL
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2RqcXjV6A
"Spare her," said 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmPf8oZ0MF
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh7ujJmUQ0
ourselves contained when we see famous people."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LrLxbajpC
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNnQkr0Drn
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuaBc4nmHT
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrO6aYfTyA
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHteorB3HHD
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mw0LOBRSr
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34fvEv8m0g
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E8rq2PmWW
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa91ncI9rW
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3dvO2UbXI
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3FodfggEq
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyYiDgejhx
"I already did, thanks. 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJd1XQRXMl
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0c7L0APXw
to go back and prepare for the party."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssfHXGcqoX
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iV4RG2YHp
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssLzV68Rh6
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rBS4LSwUW
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSfaEC6rml
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII4Whd3SCE
Joy turned around and I 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcJUx3GY3I
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMLAidZfBp
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmMtDkvOob
she drew out the one she was looking for.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VQG4GODe8
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hE1E8APUG
She gave me a red short 757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFX4xT1Agv
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSj7tB3Otf
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCx9yrwSWn
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXBKtwqi1K
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUO4CsVzKJ
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9RSusRi2i
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44wTtOo0pA
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwfMIVDLAn
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOvIjK4NL8
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIOgKSm0XM
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpOy9igEcb
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOeyF00fAz
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWkVFrqBqv
"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.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14hG8KgQ1B
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv2DZFCAQg
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSxxD2rce6
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBMJxDQvEX
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWKKVVww3a
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCthEcL7JJz
"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?"757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAbTSiuCQ5
"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."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0GP7Uk4Yk
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHlz2b5oYH
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh8nwdZIMo
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbINUbSqJXO
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBrmPAywMy
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.757Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYa21oMPds
